Free Running for PSP News
PSP News by Ellie Gibson
The French can make anything look cool. Even their celebrity chefs are suave, sophisticated and good-looking, for heavens' sake. They've even gone and invented a sport that involves nothing more than jumping off of things, whilst somehow looking cooler than Andre 3000 eating ice cream in the Antarctic. And now, inevitably, Eidos is doing a game based on it for the PSP.
Screenshots can be found here.
Free Running is being developed by Core in association with Sébastien Foucan, co-founder of the "parkour" movement, and free running collective Urban Freeflow. (They're British, if you hadn't guessed by the slightly painful name.)
Sébastien acts as your in-game mentor, teaching you new moves and tricks as you run, jump, vault and climb your way through the concrete jungle. Members of Urban Collective can also be unlocked as playable characters.
There are more than 50 stunts to master, including the Kong Vault, Vertical Wall Runs, Pharaoh Climbs, Rail Split Vaults and Bedingfield Neck Brace. We might have made one of those up.
A variety of game modes are promised, including the option to race against computer or human opponents - wirelessly, we'll boldly presume.
Free Running is due out in the autumn, or le autumn as our French friends would say. Probably.

"le autumn as our French friends would say"
This brand of french speech characterisation strikes me as entirely alien no matter how often I see it. Crono Cross had especially cringe-worthy moments because of this ("Moi is very beautiful, oui, hou là là"). By the way, in french le would become l' since it is followed by a vowel, but that would kind of destroy the joke, I guess. Edit : Evil HTML

Vive Le Difference!
This could be great: basically an urban version of all the platformy puzzley bits of Prince of Persia without the crappy wall jump combat, and with a hint of garlic and a dodgy accent. Magnifique! |

As a Traceur (or free runner), I'd like to point out that the game shouldn't be all about jumping buildings and s**t...
The Game has been helped devoloped by urbanfreeflow.com a uk parkour web site. they have made statements more about the game, as alot of the members are characters in the game.... www.urbanfreeflow.com |
