In this riveting analysis by PC Gamer, parkour experts Benj and Toby from the renowned Stora team dissect the parkour elements in Assassin's Creed with surgical precision. They delve into the nitty-gritty details, from the art of climbing without using knees to the iconic Swan Dive into a pile of hay. The team doesn't hold back, pointing out the game's realistic touches like back-cracking landings and the potential risks of misjudging jumps. Their critique extends to historical accuracy, questioning the strength of tiles during the French Revolution and the game's attention to slippery leaf hazards.
As the discussion unfolds, Benj and Toby scrutinize the challenges of balancing on ropes and sliding down steep surfaces in the game, highlighting the discrepancies between virtual parkour and real-life practices. The duo also assess the feasibility of using a grappling hook in parkour, drawing from their own experiences to provide expert insights. With a touch of humor and a dash of skepticism, they dissect the game's mechanics, from randomly shooting grappling hooks to gravity-defying slides down pyramids.
Furthermore, the experts draw parallels between Assassin's Creed's parkour and the actual demands of the sport, emphasizing the meticulous preparation and endurance required in real-life parkour. They offer a unique perspective on the game's portrayal of parkour, contrasting the fantasy of boundless energy in-game with the strategic, methodical approach of real-world practitioners. Benj and Toby's evaluation culminates in a rating of the game's parkour realism, shedding light on the gap between virtual escapades and the gritty reality of parkour's challenges.
