Non-VR version when

[Xivios]

This game is entirely based on your own movement, it isn't possible for a non-VR version to exist. It doesn't even work with older VR sets that use traditional gamepads, it only works with hand tracking controllers.

Pretty much what Xivios said. It's neither practical nor worthwhile to try to fit B&S into keyboard&mouse control scheme as the whole point of the game is to be controlled with motion controls and full body movement.

If you're interested in free-flow physics-based melee combat, I highly recommend Die by the Sword[www.gog.com]. With your sword and shield movement freely controlled by mouse motion, it is pretty much what you are looking for. There is a full-on single player campaign as well as a vs arena mode. The game is quite old but it aged very well and is updated to work with modern systems as a part of GOG release. So if you can tolerate the outdated graphics(which I assume you can, given the current state of B&S graphics), you will love Die by the Sword.


Seriously, anyone who loves B&S and haven't played Die by the Sword[www.gog.com] should drop everything they are doing and play it, right now. It's awesome.

As the others said. Motion controls are key to what make this game fun. A none VR version won't be nearly as fun nor do very well with competing melee games.

B&S wouldnt even be a very good game on flat screen, it would be completely pointless.

if you want melee combat done well on a flat screen, get mordhau or kingdom come deliverance, both fantast ic games.

good melee combat has to be tailored to the platform you intend to play it on.

I just want something like this game. A first person Arena fighter when you can cut every single body part off of a person.

And you think a game made from the ground up for VR will?

This is like when everyone kept demanding Paranormal to have a non VR version and it sucked because it wasn't immersive at all which is where the horror came from.

and you think that a flat screen mode, tacked on to a VR game, made by 1 guy is going to play great?

if kospy made a flatscreen mode, it would be really bare bones, he doesnt have the time to craft a masterful melee system like mordhau or kingdom come, those games had a bunch of people working for several years to make them.

there is also no content in this game right now, the content is the VR interaction, that is what makes it fun to play.

without the ability to attack every enemy how you want in VR, you'd just be walking up to every enemy and clicking a button to kill them, over and over again.

it would be like playing skyrim, without any of the RPG elements, story, open world and only 2 or 3 human enemy types.

Just get Mordhau

[Enorats]

I have to laugh when people ask for "non vr" versions of games built from the ground up for VR. It just makes it so evident that they have never played a true VR game before, because what they're asking for is just so laughably impossible. No control method exists that would enable you to play this game outside of VR.

[Maximum James]

there are a myriad of options for non-vr versions that handle melee combat without VR. Mount & Blade, Elder Scrolls, ummm... tons of other ones I cant think of right now. Mordhau looks good (not that I would bother with it at this point).

The thing is all those games (even Skyrim VR port) don't have the physics to go along with the free movement of swinging your arms around so although they cover the same subject they end up as very different games.

Instead of clicking mouse and keyboard buttons, you smash his shield, smash his shield again, hilt punch him in the face, knock him down, STAB! STAB! STAB!.

It's like playing knights with your brother when you were a kid but no one gets hurt. (mega fun)

[The Baron]

The game was inspired by Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, so that would be the closest thing you could get to it I think.

[ʙᴀʀᴀ]

Never.

As soon as people stop asking for VR games to be made into flatscreen.
