IDEA: Skateboard Backpack for Parkour Transitions

 

I have an idea for a small detail that could make the parkour transitions feel much more immersive.

When the character leaves the skateboard behind to start climbing or doing parkour, instead of the skateboard magically disappearing and then reappearing at the top, there could be a special skateboard backpack.

The character could pick up the skateboard, put it into the backpack, and then do the parkour with the skateboard on their back. Once they reach the top, they could take the skateboard out of the backpack with a little animation and continue skating.

It could even be a cosmetic option, with different skateboard backpacks/holders that players could equip to match their character's style.

It's a small detail, but I think it would make the transition between skating and parkour feel much more natural and stylish.

    I would really love if they did another run at the off-board mechanics, there's a few lines that I've wanted to do but like you say, they just don't look right teleporting the board into my hand. You can't jump then cannonball and keep the board in your hand, but you can cannonball and then jump and keep the board in your hand. 

    I've been saying for ages, they've had a Dead Space crossover, they should do Mirror's Edge next, with a bunch of parkour challenges that utilise stuff nobody uses, like tic-tacs, side ejects, wallruns, and combine that with the speedlines challenges.
