"Come on, bro, 1:1 friendly sparring" 2 mins later: "EUUGHWEEUGH"

i love how the player character just kinda stands there looking a little worried

Even with no blood THIS LOOKS BRUTAL!

0:56 how considerate of him - he covered his face with his shield so that the kids wouldnt see

remember guys, this is a SPECIAL VERSION OF THE GAME MADE FOR A DEV CONFERENCE. THE GORE WILL RETURN.

The animations and ragdolls are much improved over the previous demo. Awesome stuff, the hits connect with more force now.

Finally a ragdoll blood game where they actually stab into the enemy!!!!

Bloodless is actually very realistic in some scenarios, as some stabs will not produce visible blood IRL, until the blade is removed from the wound. I'd like to see a combination of this with the blood version.

This game needs to allow 1v1 asap. Even as wonky as it is it would be so much fun

So insane, been waiting for a game like this

2:00 I didn't knew they added voicelines, it's amazing

less gooo!!!

please keep trying this playtets because with each update it is getting better

Hehehehe back to from where we started (: Stabbing guys with long swords on the square arena (: this is a remake of that first arena btw

This great but the sound of them choking on their own blood really gets to me

Wow, even blood/gore less this is still brutal. Love it!

5 seconds in and i've Wish listed and downloading demo. Thank you for covering this! I loved PS1 bushido blade.

i love the post scriptum german injured noise in there

the thing about games with good ragdoll is that its fun even if you loose

Equal parts traumatic and hilarious.

Looks so much better under the sun too, instead of that dark abyss

this is what games should have become after gta iv

I've put like 150 hours into the demo. The animations and ragdolls are way better than the demo. They don't just become weightless upon being hit in anything remotely vital. Pretty brutal. Can't wait to see more.

Those screams will haunt you until the day you die...

on the 47 second part, the guy held you like you were gonna walk him out

Just open that Kickstarter already Galaxy. I am ready to shellout my clams.

You way you can wrestle in this game is mad... Tried it yesterday; one fight I had my spear in a guy's leg while pushing his spear away from me, trying to stop him overpowering. Dropped one hand off the spear and pulled and knife, had to stab him multiple times before he let go of his spear. Grim. Really highlights the difference between defeating and killing an opponent too.

Looking forward to this game so much, I do think it will be so much fun

Voice acting can make or break something. Perfect example.

Is this dream? Came from crysis video, found fckung platinum. Is this next gen die by the sword?

3:33 yeah that looks realistic XD

I’ve been waiting for so long all I play is the demo on steam 😢

I didnt even try VR but i think this would slap with that

Help im smiling so happily at this. I wanna play this soon.

The sound effects in this game are traumatizing.....I can see dudes actually getting PTSD from this game with the blod and gore back on....this went from a silly ragdoll game to medieval warfare of the most barbarous kind

Holy Jesus that looks like it’s real.

That last one is so sad Jesus Christ i can barely listen to the virtual man cry

3:32 lost so hard he started break dancing

This actually look more gory than one with blood, regular one just looked so cartoonish even with the voice.

Blood trail, but its flat screen, ray traced and medieval

0:38 bro hugged you

Beteween graphics from this demo or the steam demo that has blood i'd still prefer the new one, the weapons and the ragdoll are better too. really cool 👍

The way it doesnt jump to the next scene but instead were just forced to sit here listening to him go "AJHKHSKHJFKSJFHKAHKUHGKJHJKSHFDHF"

Well, he has a point

Reactions look nice, but instead of standard euphoria reactions like holding hand on wound, a living organism that reacts to stimuli would turn in the whole body (to reduce blood loss, intensity of the pain, etc...). Good work, sire.

Bro that thumbnail is French’s kiss. Mwa

the playtest

0:37 this is heartbreaking

You should try Bloodtrail VR if you have a headset its the most goryest game

Unpopular opinion but even if I hadn't played it. I'd like this version where there is still blood but not as much, like just around the part of the wound with small pours of blood. Realism or not, I kind of like it. Even if I can't tell if I'm hitting the enemy if playing.

Without blood it’s so hard to tell if you’re hitting your enemies or not, any idea when it’s coming back?

Honestly there should be a chance for wound not to cause pain to the enemy. It looks like none of them secrete any kind of adrenaline.

Game is amazing, just wish it wasn’t on UE5 so I could actually run it. I can only run 1v1 on low graphics :(

I didnt like the playtest but it grew on me, its got some jank and some bugs but if I dont see myself booting it up to swing a few to some music or over a podcast. Deffo looking forward to the blood/gore system being reintroduced sometime September iirc

Bloodless due to guidelines or performance? Either way, the animations still sell it.

2:10 so they can beg now huh? Niiice... >:)

suggestion: Red Dead Redemption 2 : Live Leak Ragdoll Overhaul 7.4

Dato curioso (no sacar la espada) pu3s la espada al entrar ahora es un tapon si lo quitas te desangras mas rapido(si no es que le alla reprcido la espada en ese caso destroso los alrededores del cor5e y es un trabajo muy dificil de saturar

Ok but can I pay you money for it yet..

While I don't like the whole physics based combat thing from a gameplay perspective, it works very well with the gore system. Especially with all the mutilation and the horrific screams and gurgles. I like when games implement very dynamic gore systems.

I played it a bit it feels good but without gore it feels like something is missing so I am just waiting for that to be changed

Sucks there's no blood because it would be nice if they could also show off the pooling system and blood physics overall

Я так понимаю эта игра для тех, у кого с фантазией все хорошо.

I wonder when the steam demo will get updated or when the release date will be dropped

Is there a way you can turn on your cursor like in the demo, its a lot harder to aim without it

Will it just be fencing 1v1, or its gonna be battles too?

How many hour have you been spending on halfsword?

i just wish they weren't so fragile, i like to have long battles.

why im in a dark cave and your in an arena what do i need to do?

why I can't install it on steam it doesn't let me

bros acting like he got stabbed

physics needs lots of improvement.

Why is there no blood o,o

how do you get the weapons?

Wait there are other versions?

Did they add a new demo?

how do you play in the arena?

Impressive but I will pass without a game around the physics

What's the game where a woman is slashing people with a katana in slow motion with brutal gore?

3:41 🔁😂

Why did they get rid of the blood?

Wait they updated it?

wait. what is this arena and how to acces it?

что за игра

Звиздец)

Is this a new update

:( how tf do you have a map i want map

Half sword but kids be like:

Less wobbliness pls, more weapon control.

its bad with no blood

More videos with a focus on character physics and ragdolls: ru-vid.com/group/PLE8BZenM9K-CjFnH626mVCdgzs3El8xMO

yeah i signed out of this project, the moment they said, we will release to everyone this "bloodless" beta and was just waiting on steam review to upload the demo, comes next week they quietly backtracked and said "selected few" i knew its i effed over.

Not a single drop of blood . What a joke.

This was lame Wheres the blood? at least when I play this I move mt hands arouns and make him cheer and point at them 😂

3D examina?
