    Guy basically does enough background research on the concepts within his novels to the point where his notes probably contain hundreds of dissertations and he created his Subutai Corporation to research and practice sword/weapon/martial arts shit because he was dissatisfied with how he had portrayed it in previous works. Neal Stephenson owns.

    I don't know who that is so I'm guessing it's an insult.

    Paying $130(with controller) for a popamole is ridiculous and they shouldn't use an accelerometer in the first place.

    Look here people, just because you hate casual consoletrash like most wii games, it doesn't mean you have to hate everything that uses motion control. It's OK to think for yourself occasionally.

    This looks like it should be tons of fun if they pull it off.

    I hope their motion controller comes with a wrist strap so I don't accidentally fling my claymore into the TV. any meaningful swordfighting movement would require way more open floor space than most people have in their living room, let alone the bedroom/basement/office/whatever where they keep their PC.

    Projector much? :smug:

    But I agree, I love the idea but I'm not sure how the fuck they're going to pull this off.

    This has potential, if done right it could be a great deal of fun. I'm surprised they are not going to use the motion controller in conjunction with something like kinect it would allow for much more fluid reproduction of your movements.

    AFAIK they are going for a higher quality "motion controller", so that should help quite a bit. Movement is an interesting question of course.

    Second controller in off hand with a d-pad, WII style?

    Those allergic to motion control are off course free to develop their own implementation of keyboard/mouse control using the framework they create.

    Doesn't work. You're swinging at air. No contact with another blade gives that awkward feeling. Might as well make a bow simulator.

    It's going to fail if they can't implement via traditional controls. WASD for movement, hotkeys & L/RMB for strokes or combos, mouse for facing. And the equivalent translation to a controller.

    That's it.

    Yeah, I was against motion controls because everything I've seen so far including WiiMote, Kinect and Move is simply shit and not fit for purpose, but this shit has the potential to pwn:




    It's also technically two controllers, so it could be used in various ways e.g. two weapons or sword+shield or similar.

    I wanna imagine using it together with this xD



    And as some people said, this is not as much a "game" as it is research into how to properly do sword fighting in games.
    Maybe with good ol' GabeN picking it up and using it in a proper game since he apparently really likes sharp objects:

    It's so nice of him trying to give a muddled, vague answer from a 'well-informed' position to answer a serious question about how an actual gameplay would look and feel like.
    Go back to larping.
