Samson Gameplay Features Combat Systems and High Speed Vehicle Pursuits
The new gameplay elements of Samson introduce combat systems together with high speed vehicle pursuits. The studio Liquid Swords established by the Just Cause series creators has published its first development video for their upcoming crime action game titled Samson. The latest update focuses on the core gameplay pillars hand to hand combat mechanics and the physics driven vehicle system.
Brutal Hand to Hand Combat
The game designers created Samsons combat system to deliver a realistic and intense fighting experience. The protagonist uses martial arts together with his surroundings to eliminate all possible dangers. The game includes these essential features
- Environmental Interactivity Players can use improvised weapons and world objects during fights.
- Destructibility The game world reacts to action in real time; objects such as fences, crates, and barrels break or fall dynamically during skirmishes.
- Tactical Fisticuffs A focus on brutal, direct strikes rather than over the top superhero movements.
Vehicle Physics and Burnout Inspired Crashes
In Samson, vehicles serve as essential tools for survival instead of mere means of transport. The game requires players to use vehicles for police evasion and mission completion. The developers have prioritized an advanced damage model to keep chases engaging.
The system determines damage by calculating impacts according to the specific weight and speed of the involved vehicles. Liquid Swords aims to replicate the spectacular collision physics found in the later Burnout titles, ensuring that crashes are visually detailed and impactful rather than static or repetitive.
Platform and Release Details
Samson is being developed with a PC first approach. The developers plan to launch the PC version first before they release the PlayStation and Xbox versions which will follow the confirmed console release. The project is currently described as a gritty, focused action experience coming from a seasoned independent team.
Technical Note The footage showcases an interactive world where players can interact with almost all elements which demonstrate the studios dedication to creating a dynamic urban environment.
