What do you think about the combat in the leaked open-world rpg clip?

[Steven12]

I just saw that leaked gameplay snippet for the new open-world RPG, and honestly, the combat looks a bit floaty to me. It’s hard to tell from a short clip, but the hits don’t seem to have much impact. Has anyone else who caught the leak felt the same way, or is it just the video quality?

I saw the footage too, and the combat looked floaty to me. The impact just wasn’t landing in the clip; maybe it’s a placeholder animation or the clip was compressed.

I tried comparing it to other big open world RPGs where attack hits have a heavy shove and a thud, and this clip feels more airy. Could be an early build or just spacing in the clip.

In slow motion the frames where the weapon connects look almost hollow, like the hit reaction is missing. I’m guessing they’ll tweak it, or maybe this is how they plan to sell a weightless style.

The sound design and camera pull are doing a lot of the lifting, which makes the punches feel lighter than they should. The pacing of attacks also seems off. The drift is real though, sometimes you get gameplay videos that show a different area entirely and you wonder if that’s the real feel. is this leak showing the map layout we’ll actually get or a different area?
