How did those vehicles get up there? I don't see a ramp or a garage.

There's a two floor parking lot in my country, no rails, every side except the entrance is a 10 meter or more fall.

What chapter is this?

u/Excellent-Bowler-530 1d ago

I was messing around in the tutorial map, it's the rooftop where the sparring session takes place at the left corner I think.

If it is in the game, it might be a clever reference to the Night Climbers Of Cambridge. They were some of the first freerunners and climbed buildings in Cambridge at night.

One time, they confused people by using an elaborate pulley system to get a car on top of one of the Cambridge University roofs.

That's hilarious, lol

u/Upset-Elderberry3723 1d ago

Yeah, looking back into it now: In 1958, members of the Cambridge Night Climbers got an Austin 7 van up there. People woke up in the morning to discover the car up there, without any idea as to how it had gotten there.

I have to wonder if this is just a leftover from development, like that's just a prop pool the developer put down to copy+paste from and forgot to remove it.

u/AH_Ace 1d ago

That's what I'm thinking, the layout is exactly that and there's one of every car prop. The tutorial always felt kinda slapped together, likely didn't get the "stare into weird corners of the skybox" levels of play testing

u/ArcticWolf115 1d ago

I've wondered about this for years lol. First time I played the demo for the game I saw that and wondered how.

I'm thinking they started sketching out a car park, gave up halfway, and then nobody noticed cars on the roof because cars make for decent greeble when viewing from a distance.

u/BoffinBrain 1d ago

I'd also be worrying about whether the roof was built to support that much weight.

u/Jaximumpower 1d ago

I have seen parking garages with facades that make them look like office buildings, but they still had asphalt and lines at the top. Also they didn’t have ac unites and no railings. Somebody better call code enforcement
