ValorJTG 2 Posted March 2, 2014 I just had a thought, what if parkour was added in the DayZ standalone later on in the development, I think if would be really, really cool, but really hard to put into the game.What's your thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

savini 587 Posted March 2, 2014 People have a hard enough time climbing ladders as is. :P As far as the future...I'll pass. It would look silly, and also be rather difficult especially if you're carrying a backpack full of canned food, and a rifle, and an axe, and so on. Not to mention the engine probably wouldn't allow for much. It's a fair thought, but I'm not into it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The characters in the engine walk around like they had sticks up their asses, BIS has their share or problems with the engine for years and haven't solved them yet.

glowfow@hotmail.com 55 Posted March 2, 2014 High cost - low gain situation and on top of that I don't think it holds a place in DayZ. Maybe being able to climb small sheds and up trees, but don't get your hopes up for an Assassin's Creed type of movement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonic-NKT 38 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) this would be impossible without a complete new engine...and it dont think this in needed or fits into dayz... tho i would like to see option to climb house or walls in the future (if its to high with the aid of a friend) but more is not possible i guess. if you want parkour and Zombies get Dying Light when its released.

Khad (DayZ) 293 Posted March 2, 2014 In my opinion, you shouldn't even be able to run all day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duenan 226 Posted March 2, 2014 It would be cool yes but It wouldn't fit in a half starved post apocalyptic enviornment. To do parkour you need to be pretty healthy and well fed and then expend alot of calories. Besides which the collision detection in the game still sucks atm and I could see alot of falling through walls and broken legs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ValorJTG 2 Posted March 2, 2014 I guess you guys are right, it would be really hard to do, but what about like climbing low overhangs. Like, if your at the big shipwreck you can pull yourself up onto shipping containers and lower stuff like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted March 2, 2014 Aside from the fact that it would be almost impossible to implement - have you ever tried parkour fully laden with a rifle and hiking backpack full of tinned food and ammo? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackberrygoo 1416 Posted March 2, 2014 Ya parkour a bit too much although I'm a fan in real life ... But I DO agree that there should be climbing mechanics , that way if you're a stranded fresh spawn you can avoid zombies by climbing trees and buildings (if they scare you that much). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valtsuh 68 Posted March 3, 2014 yeah thats good idea nut like you said it is really hard to put into game. but like climbing over the walls like in gta would be good cuz its pretty annoying sometimes in games you cant climb over some walls and then you need surround it.

JuX 72 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) If that is the gameplay you seek, then you should check out game called "Dying Light" http://dyinglightgame.com/ Edited March 3, 2014 by JuX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted March 3, 2014 Aside from the fact that it would be almost impossible to implement - have you ever tried parkour fully laden with a rifle and hiking backpack full of tinned food and ammo? Seems to be easy...they do that in BF1-4, CoD and whatever shooter all day long...they can also quickscope and run faster with knives equipped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pvt_Larry (DayZ) 98 Posted March 3, 2014 Parkour would be great if I didn't care about breaking my legs. Maybe if I bring some morphine along though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
