What do you get when you mix a bit of Mirror's Edge with XL-Games' upcoming fantasy sandbox MMO ArcheAge? Well, this latest video recorded from the game's beta test will give you a pretty good idea!
I don't mean to be rude, because graphics aren't everything and all, but this is kind of lackluster and boring. It doesn't make me want to play much less live in this world (mmo). What was the feature of this video? I missed it I guess.

Lacklustering and boring? I mean yes they could trow in a bit more NPC to make the city feel alive. I love the city and world design from what I have seen in this video.
ok.. So you can walk up slopes in Archeage... And there's some very high building to throw you down from... Was that video supposed to make me want to play the game ?...
The thread title was very misleading and I must say I'm dissapointed.
There was no parkour in the video at all. No ledge grabbing or any type of acrobatic actions just someone jumping on to a couple of roofs and then running up a tower to jump off.
Looks pretty boring to me.
Although I will say the world looks beautiful in ArcheAge

You seemed to like forsaken world. I assume that means it's graphics are not lackluster and boring. How is FW better than Archeage?

I suppose the joke would be "no, that video was to make you want to throw yourself off a building".
but perhaps some might not find that funny.
However, I'm laughing myself silly stupid!
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
That's not parkour, regardless of whether the post named his video that or not.
I do think it's cool you can walk on roofs and such, though. I liked when the person climbed up the chain supporting the bridge. I always thought more MMOs should do that, even if it's just fluff, just for fun. Especially when they involve PvP.
It's a nice touch, but when I saw 'parkour' I was expecting something that was...well...parkour.

I do like doing this "parkour" in mmos. I often try to climb stuff and stand at unusual places. I like the video and if you look at with a in game point of view, it can be pretty much be called parkour.

It's supposed to give you a sense of scale and immersion that will be in the game.
For a minute, use different eyes than the typical WoW game or PvP box shooter. Look at how when the character runs over the buildings, the steps seem to be pretty much what a real person would be taking in normal strides running around a roof if full speed.
Look at the jumping. See how you don't jump a mile or jump stiffly or have any unrealistic effect? (other than them turning the /death off). That's what the game is showing you.
This isn't a 'combat' video to get you juiced up. It's a video to show the city, world and how immersive it's going to be and it does a pretty good job of that.
I guess this confirms that....walking and jumping are in....great
And don't forget running too.

The title should read something a bit different as thats really not what Parkour is about. In actuality all that is being shown is scenery. Of course thats what I figured it was going to be. Title should read something like "scaling the distance" or "Archage from Afar".
For those who dont know what Parkour is...
"Parkour (sometimes abbreviated PK) is a form of extreme sports, dealing with non-competitive ways to get from one place to another. Originating in France, its main purpose is traversing mainly urban landscapes by running, climbing and jumping. Participants run along a route, attempting to navigate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, using only their bodies. Skills such as vaulting, rolling, swinging and wall scaling are employed. Parkour can be practiced anywhere, but areas dense with obstacles are preferable and it is most commonly practiced in urban areas."
Wow!! Groundbreaking, never before in the history of MMORPG games have you been able to walk across the roof of a building!!! Well that settles it.. I am sold after watching this video.. Cant wait to pre-order the collectors edition

Extreme stair running and a huge fall down...should of been a lot more jumping
This game could be a real sleeper.
I'm assuming he was using fraps to record, that's probably why it's laggy.

Ah, parkour is running up slopes and falling from extreme heights without dying even though you land flat on your back.

I have seen Parkour video's that were actually impressive to watch. This was not one of them.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.

I suppose its fluff isn't it? Sure you may not want to go exploring but its nice to know the option is always there, makes the world feel vast.

Parkour video game. ^
As for ArchAge. nice... view distance.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
No more rhymes now, I mean it.
Anybody want a peanut?
