Back Paddling is horrible.

[Tonkra]

In the latest Alpha trailer we can see back paddling at it's best (or worst).

What is this backpedaling?

In 1.0 when you walked in the direction opposite to where you were facing your character would turn around.

It seems in 2.0, instead, the character remains looking at the same direction and was backwards at a lower speed. Think of it as having your target locked on a non existent object, all the time.


I really hope they introduce alternative motion settings, or something of the sort. Because slowly stepping back whenever you want to run away seem like awful movement controls.

cant you walk backwards in reallife?

you always just can walk forward?.. awesome.. you seem to be handicapped. maybe its not the best animation.

but people.. you can "back pedal" try it out on your own..



and when you are a sword fighter with a shield.. you would not turn your back to the target while moving.. you are going to walk backwards (back pedal) ... or would you show your backside to the target that he can hit you into your back with his sword? no you would not..
