Early Access- How To Create A Legendary Swordfight
🕑 Added 2021-03-16 06:05:07 +0000 UTCSwords have been a mainstay of human culture since before you fleshy sacs of mostly water knew how to write - all across the world, nearly every culture has its version of the sword, and a whole host of stories and heroes to accompany it.
Tales of swordfighting are all about high adventure, epic battles, and legendary duels between masters of the blade - but how can we adapt them to videogame form? Well, The Architect has been training with wise senseis, duking it out with cybernetic goons and facing down mighty warriors for weeks just to be able to answer that question, and the answer may surprise you - a great swordfight isn't about realism, but about creating both a sense of lethality, but also a sense of vulnerability.

The Witcher 1 is a really interesting game, it's borderline broken and the combat is janky as hell but like you say the rhythmic element of it is really interesting as are a lot of the weird secondary systems that got streamlined out in the later games

Witcher 1 has really unique/strange sword fight treated like a rhytmics game (I liked it, but I know there are mixed feelings) - and I am happy to see a short footage of it! ;)
