The "founder of parkour" David Belle teamed up with Techland developers working on Dying Light to bring "authentic parkour to the gaming world."
Don't forget that Dying Light includes Oculus Rift support. Just sayin'.
Techland worked with David Belle to verify the depiction of parkour in Dying Light, test its authenticity and even got his personal approval before the game hits stores. The video ‘David Belle & Dying Light – Zombie Parkour’ documents his input on the game.
“David’s influence really helped us push the parkour system to a point where it felt authentic yet still intuitive and worked perfectly in-game. We’ve had so many journalists and external playtesters say to us that this really is game-changer in terms of first person perspective freedom of movement. “ – Adrian Ciszewski, Game Director
David Belle is known mainly for his influence on founding and shaping the now global sport of parkour, with videos of his skills spread throughout the internet. These skills have also led to a prominent career in film with main roles in films such District 13 and District 13: Ultimatum written and produced by Luc Besson, as well as stunt coordinating roles for films such as Babylon A.D., Transporter 2, and The Family.
