Judging by the two pieces of art for this game(and what you're saying here), it seems like Ark was built by white people and was later invaded by black and brown people? Is that what's going on?
A movement win button. Considering the fact that you'll likely have to take enemy bullets into consideration and a desire to shoot back I'm sure the "win button" is only for getting to places you want to go.
If it works like you describe it it would be very nice, wish we had more info on some of these games though. Gameplay video needed :(

Aww FFS, it sounds like exactly the same 'win' button that made me hate Assassins Creed. Mirrors Edge may not always have had great level design, but the gameplay was spot-on; it rewarded a skillful player who could react quickly and accurately, but also one who thought about their next moves, and figured out the best path. Assassins Creed just bored me after 10 minutes, because I could climb literally ANYWHERE just by holding the 'go' button and pressing whatever direction I felt like. No effort, no thought, no fun. Gunplay in Brink better be good.
Having your character automatically perform a variety of moves with little to no unique input from the player is pretty cheap, I think. Sure, you might want to make the game more accessible to even casual gamers but if it gets to the point where you're basically pressing one or two buttons in the course of a cinematic then it removes the possibility for some fun and challenging gameplay. This is the same gripe I have with quick-time events. I'm not a game developer but I don't think it's asking for much to give the character a larger repertoire of moves instead of making a single 'do-something-special' button.
I agree--Mirrors Edge was great in that it actually made you work at getting better.

Yeah, I'm not too much of a fan of "auto win" acrobatic games like Assassin's Creed and the new Prince of Persia either.
We'll just have to see how this pans out.

Yeah, I'm not sure I like how this sounds. Seems to me it'd be much more rewarding and intense if you had to manually do it.
If the game is a shooter, and the 'win button' helps keep you from moving like a garbage truck through the environment, then I have no problem with it. I figure you can either have enough button combos for good shooting action, or for good climbing/etc.
I'm tired of running around in shooters like every corner was a right angle and every obsticle needed a full body jump. The 'I want to climb shit' button in AC seems like the kind of thing that I would want here.
If this were a spelunking game, or a Everest sim, things would be different, but for a shooting game, a degree of automation makes sense.
As for what the article describes, where its more of a "i want to go over' button, that I'm more hesitant about, and I will have to see it clearly demo'd or have it in my hands to judge it.
At this point, I will not hold it against the game until I know more.

This is why I didn't buy into inFAMOUS after playing the demo, climbing buildings was literally a dumbed down Assassin's Creed, and instead of having to think you just jump at stuff and you automatically climb it. It looked good, but it became tiresome and hideously repetitive not having to put any effort in moving around other than X.

The game is exactly how you interpreted the article. Not sure how I wasn't clear that this was a complex First Person Shooter with a terrain traversing mechanic, but these things happen.
