Is This How Brink's SMART Would Work in Real Life?

Nah, probably not. But hey, parkour!

@lowestformofwit: Parkour is a bit more than your average "running and climbing"  thus the "special name"  The hell are you so grumpy about anyways?

I'm still on the fence with this game, its just with the amount of FPS out there.. eh... I'm pretty much done with shooting dudes in the face FPS style. Nothing against the game. I'm tempted to pre-order tonight on amazon especially with that ten dollar credit. I'll wait when the game is shaved ten or so dollars and I'll probably pick it up next month.

I'm not sure about Brink. I want it to be good. Also, I don't see it that much as a parkour game.

Another game with parkour movement and ambient music that's not Mirror's Edge 2.


Take a hint, EA.

@lowestformofwit: You do know it just means something in french "to go fast" Or "to leave a trail" That is really only the rough estimate of what it means in english.

Any game which advertises "parkour" as a feature means I won't be buying it.   parkour is dumb and "jumping and climbing" shouldn't be given a special name in the first place.

This just makes me want to play Mirror's Edge...

It also shows how much better Mirror's Edge was at parkour gameplay than Brink, granted that was all that game was about, but still... 
Mirror's Edge is a cool game, and I want Mirror's Edge 2, that's what I'm trying to say here.

I'd like to see them parkour boys do that stuff with a rifle in hand.  Now that would be impressive.

Maybe you should ;) Start by going to your local shopping mall and making an ass of yourself by jumping from a rubbish bin to a chair and then onto someone's trolley.

My favorite part is when they compare the real person and the video game character running on a rail and it looks completely different.

I liked the white and red design of Mirror's Edge more, but this will probably be a better game.

Anyone else notice the animation from the dudes hand doesn't match up with whatever it's trying to grab? Kind of like a static animation.

The animation feels somewhat detached when the player comes in contact to grab a ledge. Feels like something's missing.


Other than that, the method of traversal makes sense given the context of the genre. Looking forward on more gameplay in the future.

When I was watching this I couldn't wait for the Brink segments to end so that I could watch the real stuff. I'll echo what people keep saying: Mirror's Edge II please.

Yes, and i was also thinking why are they showing off running on railings. You can do that in every FPS ever made.
