In this video, there is gameplay from both Batman and Gotham Knights. Both feature detailed and fun grappling. Batman's grappling speeds up as the player grapples towards the target. The player can then choose to boost which makes the player faster and propels them way past their target or just reach their target which then allows them to mantle depending on what the target is. While in a building, the grappling turns to a swing rather than a pull since the player will mostly be travelling horizontally. The swing is rather fast and the player targets where they want to land. The game shows a circle which indicates a potential target for the grapple. Gotham Knights follows a almost identical principle but the actual grappling is a little different. The player seems to fly directly towards the target which gives a sense of flight rather than a grapple which I think would feel unrealistic. The mantling also looks a little unrealistic as the player goes from a fast speed to a sudden stop. The boosting looks smooth and looks fun to play with.

In conclusion, these grappling mechanics are ideal for our game as they use a non linear speed as well as looking realistic and fun. The target system is also ideal as this prevents players from grappling anywhere but at points that are intended. This will also help with aiming as grappling long distances could be hard to aim without an indicator/target pointer.

Spider-Man 2 features web swinging which functions like a grapple. This system is mostly swinging but has multiple movements to boost speed. For example, the player can pull towards a edge of a building or a lamp post and jump back off creating great speed, the player can also loop around an object to create more speed. The animation style is also amazing in this gameplay as it features a wide variety of different flipping and spinning animations. However, some of these movements performed in this video are quite unrealistic as the movement at some points seem snappy and unsmooth. This seems rare but it is mostly when the player locks onto a target when they are close. The physics while impressive and fun, look unrealistic at points, for example, when the player exits a horizontal swing, they gain an impossible amount of speed. While this is useful for gameplay, it is unrealistic.

In conclusion, this type of system would be very difficult for me to pull off due to the varying ways to swing and pull. However, it would fit our game quite well as it good for a semi futuristic theme. The target system is also really good for pulling as it allows the player to selectively choose where to land their grapple.

This video showcases some short gameplay from Black ops 3. The player shows a skilled use of the movement mechanics, ranging from sliding and extended use of the rocket boosting mechanic. In Black Ops 3, the player is allowed to have a controllable extended jump that propels the player upwards and in any horizontal direction. This is useful for clearing gaps, jumping into windows and moving to walls/objects to wall run off of. There is a fuel gauge that shows how much boost the player has left. Once it runs out, the player must either land or wall-run for it to recharge. This fits in with the futuristic theme of the game and ties well into the advanced movement as it provides high mobility for the player which can give the player different advantages such as out-manoeuvring their opponents and gaining higher ground.

In conclusion this is an excellent example of rocket boosting and would be highly effective for me to replicate because it is highly controllable and makes the most out of moving quickly around the battlefield. This boost can also tie in well with the grappling mechanic idea I have and could both work around each other well to create a fun movement experience.

Genji is one of the most mobile and quick playable characters in Overwatch, He has multiple movement mechanics which allow him to reach big ledges and move across the battlefield. He posesses a double jump which gives Genji a small boost to dodge enemy fire, climb walls and clear gaps. It isn't as controllable as a rocket boost but still works as intended. After double jumping, Genji cannot double jump again until he lands on the ground which is fair balancing of this mechanic. Genji has a few other movement mechanics that assist him such as wall climbing which allows Genji to begin quickly climbing a wall until he reaches max climbing time or reaches a ledge to which he jumps up and lands at the top. He also has a dash ability that damages enemy's but can also be used to quickly move around the map or climb walls/buildings. This has a few second cool down until it can be used again.

In conclusion, this is a good representation of a double jump and how it can help advanced movement feel more fun and better to play. I could replicate this sort of jump but I feel that Genji's jump is a little too short and doesn't maintain much height. I think that this may be because the double jump is intended to assist in dodging more than to scale buildings and walls whereas I intend my extra boost/jump to assist more in climbing and maintaining height.
