That BBC1 ident was way before 2005, surely?
Well spotted. The footage from Jump London was taken back in 2003, must've been inspired by that.

"although one is just an evolution of the other in ways"
I forget which is which, but I believe one is based on the style and poise of the movements, whereas the other (parkour I think) is about taking the shortest/fastest route between points in an urban environment. Sounds like you guys know, so you could probably clarify. As I metioned on the thread attached to the movie, I think the controls will count for everything in this game, so it might be a little early to say whether it looks good or not.

Kanga, listen, really, really don't get involved in the "parkour" vs. "freerunning" debate. Trust me. It can only end in tears. It's one of the most painful and undying debates I've ever seen, up there with "define art". And calling it a "debate" is incredibly polite. |

"Probably the most recognised figure of this urban phenomenon is Sebastien Foucan, who features in the game as a playable character. Considered to be one of the two originators of the sport..."
What's that noise? *cups hand around ear* Uh oh. A thousand running feet, coming here to tell you about the thread they read on urbanfreeflow about how Sebastien is a poopyhead who was actually only tacetly involved in the genesis of the sport, and how he's now riding the hype, and broke some promise about not appearing in a movie with guns in it (haha - that's such a unrealistic thing for a stuntman to promise). You've done it now, eurogamer, but don't say I didn't warn you: Your only defense is to get in a car and just drive away just slightly faster than they can run. |
