News: Indie Parkour Title Hover: Revolt of Gamers Slated for Wii U

I'm sold on concept alone for now, only way I won't get it is if it ends up being terrible

Sounds very promising. And it seems that you also have a third person view, judging from some parts on that video.

This looks cool. Definitely interested.

This looks pretty interesting.

Looks very interesting and nice to see it's planned for this year as well

I saw the video last week and loved it, but I had no idea it only had 5 months of development time so far! Definitely one I'll be watching.

Jet Set Radio I see?

Looks like a lot of fun. This begs for some great, simple online integration

that's not parkour. that's freerunning. i hate it when people can't differentiate between the two.

the game has nowhere near the style like jet set radio

Mirror's Edge didn't really "pioneer" parkour in games. Especially with Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia being around long before (and its doubtful they were the first).

That said, the game itself looks like a lot of fun.

I really like the look of this game, I hope it will have missions otherwise I wouldn't buy it unless it is cheap.

Looks really fun! I'll keep my eye out for it.

@smikey666 They are. Its just to show things off.

@6ch6ris6 since you hate our ignorance of freerunning and parkour, do the public service of explaining the difference. Educate us, because besides watching parkour bails on YouTube, and knowing that Luigi is the master of the sport, I'm pretty much one of the ignoramuses who think they're the same thing.
This game looks really dang rad, for the record.

@Conocotarious Agreed, I don't know why people think Mirror's Edge invented the genre when Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider have been around for ages, and then there is Assasin's Creed and the Batman Arkham series as well.

@NImH

well basicly the difference is that with parkour you do not do any tricks or unnessecary moves. you go from point A to point B in the most efficient and fastest way possible. the entire philosophy is to get to know your body and its limits. also you feel a connection between you and your surroundings. you look at nature and urband areas in different ways.

freerunning is looking cool with flips and tricks. it's for posers

@Captain_Toad Sold as well.

It looks compelling.

@6ch6ris6 one last question: Do freerunners wear heelys?

If there's third-person camera then groovy; first-person platforming doesn't seem like fun to me!

Looks like fun.

With a name like HOVER I thought they were going to be on hover boards......but I'll definitely like to see how it plays out.

Saw this advertised on pc last week, now i'm even more excited its coming to the U! I think Ninty should try and get Overgrowth up and on the eshop its a totally mental fighting game, where woodland creatures use medieval weaponry in free for all and team combat. It features instant death and some really funny rag doll physics where throwing spears into rabbits becomes disturbingly hilarious.

That looks like a lot of fun!

Looks like fun, but as @6ch6ris6 pointed out, the footage shown has almost nothing to do with parkour.
But... I just don't know why. For some reason I don't like french art style for the most part. I've seen a lot of stuff with similar visual styles, and something just puts me off...

Yeah. Let's do this, Fusty! Not usually into the games like Skate or Tony Hawy: Pro Skater, but this looks really cool!

First-person perspective doesn't make me exactly happy, but this looks fun. Happy it's coming to Wii U.

This particular city looks like Haven City from Jak 2/3. The Shadows and Lighting need improvements but I'm hoping to download this asap on the first day I get a Wii U.

Hate the story, hate the art-style, hate the characters, hate everything it stands for but DANG, it looks fun!

Looks pretty great. I'm definitely considering this - I just hope that there is a two player mode, which is something that every racing game needs.

lol a Dreamcast-esque title on Wii U. How fitting.

@6ch6ris6 That's good to know. I always thought parkour was the one with all the flipping. Thanks for telling the difference!

I'm interested for sure. Seems quite a bit out of my style, but I think I'll get it if it has a big story.

I thought it was slated for 3DS, oopsie...

Sexy.

OMG looks like jet grind radio but baddonkey er... lol must buy this day one if it has online modes too that would be amazing !
_{Please watch the profanity — TBD}

This will be joining my game libary wether it wants or not at day one! ^^

I love the artstyle, and the constant motion. As long as the missions are compelling, this should be a great game.

woop woop woop, this looks so good, great music too.

@NImH no just normal sport running shoes

I'm really liking the variety we're seeing come to Wii U...

Hopefully this turns out better than some of those other Parkour-infused games.

The is on my radar for now, looks totally kool and a nice change from all the other genres thats been getting released.

@SecondServing, it's coming to PS4, too. Is that fitting?

@6ch6ris6 spoken like a true traceur =) you train?

Cool!!!

Well, it certainly has my attention, but IDK if this is my kind of game.

Colorful, stylistic world, old school Tony Hawk and 1080 style tricks and scoring?

I'm liking what I see!

this is brillinat! a must have for me!

@ULTRA-64 well i havent trained for over a year. last year i was busy skateboarding
but i will try to train more this year. first i have to get some stamina again though

@Captain_Toad same here I LOVE JET SET RADIO sad i missed JSRF though >.<

That looks so awesome! It reminds me that i really need to play Jet Set Radio HD. Is that game any good?

You had me at Jet Set Radio. Day one buy, as long as it's half decent.

I just hope the camera works by moving your body with the gamepad in front of you, judging by the smoothness of the camera, I think this is the case. The Oculus Rift support for PC is also alluring. Will def keep this game under my radar, it looks like it could be a rare eShop purchase from me.
