Topic: Parkour style FPS?

I know there are a few Parkour nuts on this forum so i thought this might interest you...

kotaku reports:
The latest issue of Edge has the scoop on DICE's upcoming first-person action...jumping...thing, Mirror's Edge. First up, it's not a shooter. Instead, influenced heavily by parkour, they're calling it a first-person action adventure. Huge levels will allow you the same kind of free-form exploration and athletic tomfoolery as a game like Tony Hawks or even Crackdown, but with much finer control. Don't think the lumbering cops of Crackdown, think Prince of Persia.
&
Guns will play only a minor role. You'll be encouraged to run, not fight.
Maybe some stabbing action in there for you chub? :)

They should do it 3rd person not first person. Thought that would have been obvious...

I don't need a game to parkour around with weapons, I do that already domino :)

Sounds pretty cool though, chase/escape elements in games have always been a blast, high tension.

If you rocket jump you lose health, but if you can get up to the megahealth the other way you'll get 300 health.

when parkour guys start doing circle jumps over lava or use a grenade blast to achieve greater jump hieght... that's when it might just get interesting ;p
