Can we use a knife in EVA? And what about other takedowns with fists and weapons?asked by Repheim
TL;DRIn 3.23 the intent is only a simple knife slash and a simple jab in EVA, with no takedowns, which are harder to animate and might come later.
So for 3.23, again, things are in progress, so we'll see how we go. But the intent is to have the ability to just do a simple slash with a knife. Going beyond that, for 3.23, there's not going to be anything more involved, maybe more moving down the line, but unsure. With regards to takedowns, not for 3.23. And it's obviously something we're thinking about, because it's one of the core things of FPS combat. It's a lot more complicated to do in EVA.

Exactly. If there's someone in front of me and I'm crouching behind them, it's quite easy to say, yep, I'm going to knife them in the back. There's all sorts of different angles you can approach from, and as a result so many different animations you need, and so many things that maybe feel fine and easy to understand and intuitive in a ground gravity environment, that it's a lot more difficult to get an idea of what's going on in EVA. So for now, definitely not for 3.23, potentially later on. And unarmed, as in fisticuffs, not for 3.23 either. The intent is to do something similar to the knife, so you get a simple jab. Beyond that, I'm not sure, but we always want to improve things. So we'll obviously take your feedback into consideration and see where we go moving down the line.
