It's funny to me, there's a level in Jak II for the PS2 that's literally just this idea: for whatever reason the city's central palace is held up by five suspension bridge-esque wires, and one level has you crawling along wire #4 to get inside the palace (the catch? The wires are covered in security robots) [[Special:Contributions/172.71.159.7|172.71.159.7]] 01:54, 8 February 2025 (UTC) | It's funny to me, there's a level in Jak II for the PS2 that's literally just this idea: for whatever reason the city's central palace is held up by five suspension bridge-esque wires, and one level has you crawling along wire #4 to get inside the palace (the catch?

- Radar speed management, vehicles are only let on the bridge if their expected land point is between the vehicles around them. 172.68.55.80 22:48, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
Do suspension bridges still work when built this way? Those pilings look much easier to sway to me. Maybe they are just buried a little more securely. 172.68.55.80 22:48, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
