So?
The only time motion controls were used for sword fighting in the first game was finishing moves, all that was needed was a single swipe across the screen which Motion+ brings no benefit to at all. The tilt for the upper/lower stance doesn't benefit from Motion+ and the wrestling moves wouldn't either.
If the game can support classic controller then it really shows just how pointless Motion+ would be. |
Yeah, I think a lot of us were hoping that the game design would evolve past button-mashing punctuated by gestures. It made sense with the limited fidelity of the accelerometer, but when the big gameplay advancement is being able to press a button to switch to canned attack moves with two swords, it's a little disappointing.
I'm still on-board for Travis shenanigans and Suda-brand insanity, but this is a missed opportunity to do something new. It's clear that the goal was to refine all the shortcomings of the first game and not to push any new boundaries.
Red Steel 2 is still looking quite promising.
