Is this some kind of ARG/cross promotion thingy?

Sci-Fi has this new show coming out called Cha$e. It's supposedly some kinda reality gameshow thingy.

Watch the commercial:

http://video.scifi.com/player/?id=735601


Look at all familiar?

A dude running from people in a big city? Everything just kinda regular colored except for very bright yellow and red painted things that seem to indicate where to go?

Yeah, what the hell? Did one of these things steal ideas from the other, or are they working together?

    Sci-Fi hasn't been a good channel in a while. Do they still show reruns of Sliders or Alien Nation?

    Well they even say "Its a video game come to life" so I'm gonna say they stole the idea.

    Which is dumb. Its most likely not even going to be a real reality show. More like they will pretend it is and have some sort of arching story plot throughout.

    Sci-fi sucks. They spoiled the Doctor Who season finale on a commercial that played after a cliffhanger.

    Wow. That is eerily similar to Mirror's edge. No way that's a coincidence.

    I also noticed that the protagonist resembles a certain hooded character who was the star of the other major Parkour game recently...

    Kind of weird.

    yeppers

    i mean i know hooded jackets are common, but dude in white hooded jacket running from people + stark buildings save for bright red fixtures + lots of parkour screams some sort of weird ripoff or tie in.
