Mirrors Edge parkour?

[naronic]

We all know LeParkour exists, we all know people practice it on a daily basis
my question is is it actually possible to do the kind of parkour Faith does, or is it exaggerated?

[DumbassDude]

It's not possible to take a few bullets and then maneuver yourself around a crane site, no.

[Dromedary]

I think running around being shot at and leaping off cranes IN BLACK AND WHITE, is fairly exxagerated.

[MegamanZero360]

It is a little exaggerated, yes, but it has to be, or else the game wouldn't be that much fun.

[GiantDouche]

For the most part yes but a lot of the game was severely over exaggerated.

[Evark]

Yes, it is possible, but only if you're willing to disregard the consequences of your actions. Mostly, that sort of activity violates laws. Disturbing the peace, trespassing, breaking and entering. It's also hugely impractical, as the danger of a fall isn't marginalized like it is in the game (obviously).

The other thing about it is that the game's city is constructed to allow smooth gameplay. Real cities and real parkour situations aren't. There isn't necessarily a solution to continue moving in all cases.

EXAGGERATION!

[Lost-Chances]

Exaggerated by miles, but still nice.

[Zecampeao]

I don't really know...
You could try it and post the results...

yea
I always wondered why faith would risk her life to try and turn a town "alive"

maybe in America where they build these freakin' W-shaped buildings but not in France

[newgroundskeeperjim]

You'd need some serious Parkour skillz to do some of that. Like, Michael Scott or Dwight Schrute good.

LOLOFFICE

PARKOUR! PARKOUR!

You make me want to throw up.

[StrangelyMauled]

Adreniline can go crazy but to do everything she does...no.

sorry, I feel stupid now.

[therealanimator]

some of the moves in the game are exaggerated but some of them are possible to perform. wall running is possible all you need is timing.

[Obvious-M]

Traceurs will spend time training at places to work on flow and get a good routine going, in all these videos, the things they do are drilled to perfection.

In Mirrors Edge, you explore new places and speed through them with perfection, doing things which are exagerated.

meh kinda practiced but not THAT much

it's easier than it looks

[dx5231]

Yes, it's exaggerated, but that makes the game fun.

[kanon1]

although most of the stuff is exagerated, its still a fun game but there are a few things in the game that were or are possible.

such as the wall run, the over, under, over and even scimmying from wall to wall inch by inch.

wall running is not hard at all i can only go 3 step and then back-flip off^_^ but no joke running around like that take some seroius skills.
