VR Wand Combat is Magical

- Legendary Tales is just the VR Wand Combat appetizer. Wands work so well in VR that it will for sure spread to VR fantasy RPG games other than Legendary Tales. It's Harry Potter simulator. It's super fun, and funny at the same time. Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's just me. But Legendary Tales' wand combat is one of those gameplay mechanics that only works in VR. VR has unlocked wand combat and I am excited for the future.

I feel like blade and sorcery modders could make perfect wands, the magic capabilities are in place, all we need is a talented modder to put the pieces together
Lyneca is making a magic runes mod as we speak, I could possibly pitch wands to him.
@@firesb4249 wands already exist on B&S Nomad at least. So I imagine they're in the PCVR version.
We. Need. Stick.
@@firesb4249 that would be great. All of his mods are great and could be integrated into the wand
@@atom_plays Then someone would have to make sure that smoothbrain actually knows how to install mods, lol
"keep that up, and your wand will be a staff"
best quote ever, hands down
No its "I love people treating sticks like its a loaded gun"
When you mentioned wands being the equivalent of pistols, that got me thinking.
Maybe wands and staffs could go together in the same vein as sidearms and rifles.
Wands are for low-power, portable and concealable use, while staffs have higher power, but are more clumsy to carry around.
Sceptres are more akin to rifles, Staves would be the equivalent of a machinegun or a sniper.
Read „the gods are bastards“! It’s free, it’s a sort of „fantasy world developed to western era“ world and staves are rifles and wands are six-shooter sorta things!
Could be that wands can weave spells with shorter buildup (I.e. Casting a spell with half an arc) and staves requiring a longer cast (actual sweeping motions and maybe a slam on the ground)
There is a game called Divinity Original Sin 2 in which you can dual wield wands or even use a wand and shield
@@jagbanks6280 yep yep
You're the only channel that I've binge-watched twice. Every video is a banger.
Have never seen a more true comment in my life.
the amount of facts that are in your comment is a dimension level amount
For me there are two. Habie and Civvie 11.
Agreed! He's not yelling, its funny, well edited, and there's thought behind the sequence of events! However the absence of the "Wait, Pause. Here's the time code" which was such a staple in the last sequence of videos, I felt like i missed it and that's amazing. New addition to the Oxford dictionary "smoothbrain" :D
and the videos arent super long, therefore making said binging not a incredibly long task.
“Imagine if their were long stringy magic things coming out of your wand”😳
imagine?
It already happens on command😏
@@versionsquared yes😳
There is literally a VR game called Wands. I don't know if it's any good, but I thought you would like to know, given the theme of this video.
its not good at all. its a google vr game
@@swankshire6939 Good to know.
It’s bad
damn it i was gonna say that
My day was so much better after the stream. Stayed for the whole thing!
What was the beaver seggs thing about? This was my first stream.
@@asirbeg8247 You don't want to know
"Keep that going and your wand will be a staff" lol
There is literally a vr game called “Wands”
(Also waltz of the wizard is really good and has secret wands in it that do different things)
I love that game
There*
Waltz of the Wizard is so underrated.
I think wands disappeared since they are sorta irrelevant these days, let me explain.
When it comes to magic you have 3 options, Wands, Staves, and Hands. Staves are both can be used for melee combat as well as casting, and just using your hands is quick and implies a mastery over magic. Wands just sorta sit in the awkward middle ground, more clunky than hands but offering no benefits over them. So these days fantasy just sticks to Hands or the old fashioned staff.
and yes I am too much of a fantasy nerd because I wrote this stupid essay
They're also just kinda lame lol
alright, but hear me out, instead of having a "protaganist lost his powers" element, you could lose your WAND and have to retrieve it, that i think is way smoother, i also like the idea of protag having the power but needing something to channel it from, and while it doesn't have to be a wand, when you see a wand you instantly know what it does, you could elimante a lot of menus and hand gesturing with just having magical pistols aka wands
@@door_productions4896 Agreed, they are very child like, if I had magical power and the only way I could channel that power was through a wand I'd become a plumber. Yes I am saying I would rather unblock a toilet than be seen in public with a twinkle stick.
Professor Mgonagall (not sure how it’s spelled) is a fucken expert and still uses a wand
@@sukul3889 yeah but that's cause that's the harry potter universe. cant do magic without a wand, whereas in others universes you can use your hands or a staff.
that's what he's trying to say: if you need to use a wand to do magic then he'd rather just not do magic
Orbus has some really good wand magic gameplay where you use the wand to paint runes to activate different spells and its probably the best vr magic mechanic i've ever seen
this is my literal dream,
I wonder if they'll ever actually make a VR Harry Potter game. I feel like they would.
truth
*should
they'll mod the polyjuice potion to make furries just watch
Let's be honest, it would take 2 days for modders to take over and at that point it would be just "wizards pooping in hallways: the game"
Sadly the question isn't whether it will be made but will it be good and its almost definitely not going to be good, if it could be made with even halfway decent voice recognition and slightly faithful to the franchise it would be amazing. But who are we trying to kid, we would all line up to look around hogwarts in VR.
Orbus literally is a MMO with a class that yields a wand. You have to draw spells with it in order to cast them and you can also collect new ones all around the map to find some that match your playstyle. Casting with speed and doing the right spells is very hard tho, by far the hardest class in the game
Seconded, be warned it's extremely difficult to get even the basics down in orbus spellcasting.
I feel like it could've been more approachable if, instead of your spell just _failing,_ it had some way to scale like...The bigger the loop you draw, the wider the potential spray. The bigger a dash you put at the end, the more power you put into it, etc. Have actual mechanics that give your magic a _reason_ to be unpredictable. It's good improv: 'yes, and.'
Orbus has the best implementation of wand usage in VR-- it actually requires learning symbols and practice, repetition. Too bad the rest of the game isn't as fun as it was when it originally came out, before they made it "reborn".
I think a good way to way to have both wands and staves in a VR game is to incorporate the movement into them. Have larger staff amplify open hand spells while the wand draws spells in 3D space.
I love you reaction at the end "magic is real", it sounds like you were having so much fun.
It is truly insane seeing your explosive growth and it's _sooo incredibly well deserved_ I wish you a happy weekend along with all of us Smooth Brains here enjoying your entertaining as F Content. Keep it up and don't ever change man, cheers.
The Unspoken and Wizards: Dark Times are some of the best vr games I've played, both have wand based combat! Highly recommend trying them out habie!
Had to scroll too far for this! Wizards has been the GOAT fantasy game ever since the beginning of VR. And is still absolutely amazing.
That stream was so much fun! Keep up the good work :)
Yo habie, have I got a neato game for you, mate. Try out OrbusVR, its a VR MMO with some crazy wizard class mechanics. You get access to every spell from the moment you equip a wand, but you have to actually learn the spells in your real brain to use them properly, I personally love it. The other classes are really neat too!
you playing would also absolutely get me to play it again
2:23 “keep that up and your wand will be a staff”. Golden
Want combat would be a great application for eye tracking. You look at your target, wave the wand, and the spell follows your line of sight.
Great video as always Habie love your videos keep up the amazing work
The wand combat in Orbus VR is absolutely perfect, it requires speed and precision to draw runes in the air which you can throw out. But the class is far from easy and requires a lot of practice to be decent at, you know, like an actual wizard!
AND all you need to learn the spells -- is another mage to teach you how to physically cast them.
@@justech If it weren't for the internet that would be awesome, unless you mean there is an actual mechanic where players can teach each other
@@Keanine OrbusVR is a multiplayer VR game, so I mean if you meet another mage in the game, they can show you how to physically move your wand to cast each spell.
@@justech I know it is yeah. On the one hand it is REALLY cool, but like I said the downside is that you'll have more antisocial people looking up all the spells on google and they'll have skipped the fun part and will kinda ruin it for others
I just got done watching every stream on the archive and I finished at the perfect time. Much love
See you next month habie! This came out after I had a rough flight, and this cheered me up, so thank you!
Hey ha ie! Vid was great, and the stream was awesome, thanks for making great content my guy
Awesome as always Sir habie.
Keep on trucking
Habie, I watch every video, and it makes me smile everytime I hear you say pause 😂 Great video, I have a replica of Dumbledore's elder wand right above my fire place. So you could not have possibly made a more appealing video😂
this man has so much power, he controls the market with a lifting of his finger
Yes! I love the gesture magic in Black and White and I'd love that in vr!
There are games outside of vr such as Noita with wand synergies! It’s rough but super fun I would highly recommend :) wonderful video as always Habie
The thing with voldemorts wand is that ralph fiennes asked for it to have a hook on the end so he could do the limp wrist thing and “be more snake like”
Snakes are well known for having limp wrists XD
wow, 300k, i first subbed at 20k when a vid of yours was recommended to me... love your vids man.
"EXPENSIVE PETROLEUM!"
,- Harry and his wand in 2022.
Probably...
thanks habie very cool
You deserve every bit of this success. Here's to another 300k smooth brain nobles enjoying the most entertaining vr channel.
Ive been working on a vr game where mage classes are the main part of the game. you can draw patterns in the air that you need to memorize and by drawing specific patterns you cast a spell. You will be able to choose your own wand, and if i can make it happen vocal casting will be a feature by reciting a spell out loud
You’re one of the only TH-camrs I genuinely look forward to watching
I feel an advantage of wands over staves, aside from smaller one-handed items being generally more convincing as props in VR, is their similitarity to a stylus or pen. Already off the top of my head, you activate a wand, it creates a blank magic circle floating in the air, you draw the rune of the spell you want to cast inside the circle. There's probably other interfaces and obvious tricks I'm missing, but that one was like 2 minutes of thining about wands.
In Orbus, runemages have to draw symbols to cast spells. It’s really cool, you should check it out.
You pick such good games to entertain us👍
a beautiful man back with another beautiful video
great video, hope the algorithm brings you success into the future.
WHAT GVAME IS THIS? THIS IS SICK OMG- Im a huge harry potter fan. For litterally sooo long, i've been looking for vr games iwht like magic wands. I dont know if this is true or not, havent seen the full vid yet but I really hope one time blade and sorcery devs make a hp wand system with like avada kedavra and stuff or if someone just makes a wand game with hp spellls and stuff
The wand combat in Harry Potter reminds me a lot of fencing. It's quick, most of the attacks are blocked or redirected, maybe even parried, but it's very narrow. They're even called duels. It's all incredibly directional, two points, staring directly at each other. As opposed to a swordfight like you might see in Shadow of Mordor, where you're getting attacked from pretty much everywhere and need to be able to change direction at will. A lot more people would prefer that kind of fight. So it's primarily down to genre. Some people like the close-quarters nature of John Wick, others prefer a more freeform fight like you might find in COD. It is literally the niche of magic combat.
That's just the movies' interpretation of it. The books were much more all out, full on magical warfare. See the Dumbledore/Voldemort fight in the ministry and the battle of hogwarts for examples.
Y I 0
habie, your channel is like a drug (in a good way), because im addicted to the content.
VR Harry Potter sounds like a dream come true but they're still struggling to create the flatscreen one 😂
Way back in the day, several games used mouse gesture based magic systems. Draw a shape on screen, produce a magic effect. Chain multiple effects for larger or more complicated spells.
For a while now, I've been thinking that one of the best uses of VR would be something similar. I imagine being able to call up a magic circle, point at one of its locations and gesture to create a rune, the more runes you can place before triggering the spell, the stronger the spell gets. Exactly which runes you place where determine the type and function of the spell.
Would probably have to be a static, boss battle focused game, perhaps with multiple switchable locations arranged around a stationary kaiju type boss.
Honestly with the magic update coming to Blade and sorcery I feel that stuff like this is probably gonna become more mainstream in VR games, also a few of the things you talked about wanting have already been showcased in that update mentioned earlier.
Wanted to inform you that the Blade and Sorcery modder Lycena is working on a few magic mods right now, one of which is a gesture-based wand. Like in Harry Potter, gestures will trigger the magic. Lycena is our best magic modder, as he also works on the base game updates. Expect to see it soon!
"keep that up and your wand will be a staff" your chat is hilarious. i need to tune in to your streams more
My dude, the first spells of each categories are a bit on the weak side because they're meant to be. they are mostly faster to fire than the rest of the spells so it compensates the low damage dealt and are mostly used to get through to the other spells. and my god they're fun ! The fireball being the wizard's bread and butter, it's a fun spell to use and its AoE and high damage makes it a very viable spell as long as you either have mana regeneration or large pools of it. The Ice Lance is pretty good looking and while it's harder to actually throw at people the wand makes it a lot easier. Thunder Break is a fairly simple spell but it hits HARD and the stunning capabilities of lightning can be worh it on tougher enemies and my FAVORITE spell, Thunder Lance, is what i imagine everytime i think "Lightning Bolt" in a fantasy setting. It's a hard hitter, the spell is super useful on lines of enemies and aiming it is just a matter of knowing where to hold your hand or wand. and i'm not even talking about the Fusion spells, the Lava Axe is already a great addition to my collection and while i haven't quite figured out how to correctly use the Lightning Fusion spell (can't remember the name of it, sorry) it looks good and reminds me a bit of the small Spirit Bomb from the Saiyan arc of Dragon Ball Z. I love the magic in this game and i need more, please send help. or magic.
I want wands like in Harry Potter, where you need to move the wand in a very spesific way and say words to cast a spell, would be difficult to code, difficult to cast, and imaagine the skill gap. Would be beautiful
Imagine wands where instead of the standard spell wheel, you have to specific runes in the air with the wand to activate spells, with stronger spells requiring larger and more complex runes
you should try wand combat in a game called "orbus vr" you have to actually draw the spell with the wand
Magic was OP, but it was hard and it made me feel like an actual wizard when I had the good and complicated patterns memorized
I can firmly say that I am one of the few who watch literally every second of your video to the end without tabbing out or clicking off. For SOME reason, you are the singular youtuber who can wrangle in my ADHD-addled brain long enough to sit down and pay attention to a video. Thank you for giving me 5-10 minutes of smooth-brain clarity and focus every week.
Habie you may want to try out Zenith, it's a VR RPG game and the magic system is really fun to use (gestures to select a spell)
There’s some fun wand action to be had in Waltz of the Wizard, milord ❤️
I can already tell this is a banger
You’re not gonna see this man but if you do. Your videos really help me and others but don’t feel pressured to pump out content. No one here wants to see you get burnt out or stressed especially after the crash. Love you man
I played the hell out of this game after watching you play it! The wand Lightning spear is the only spell you need to solo lvl 10 you just cant beat the boss.. or at least i cant
I just got this game 3 days ago, its so fun! I got a legendary shield that makes a eagle noise when I throw it
I love your content
“15 minutes of fame run out”
Bro I’m gonna watch you till technically alludes me
lotr does have wands, in the hobbit book, Gandalf pulls out a wand to light up the goblin tunnels, and I'm sure it is mentioned on several other occasions.
It's cool to compare this video to some of his older ones and see how he has gained more confidence and gotten better at creating videos
as habie talked about the power we gave the "dohvakin with cash" moment I was filled with joy that he truly does desire us to stop. Godspeed man.
And have it so that, like in that one Earth Bending VR game, certain movements do certain spells but different wands have certain spells assigned to those movements, and if it's a game with progression you'll be able to unlock a customisable wand so that you can assign spells you've learnt to the movements to fit a playstyle that you like
nonstop quality presentation! btw what was your number of subs a year ago?
We need that first big title, all-in VR fantasy epic that will push the industry forward and explore the possibilities of VR.
And then we need Habie hack, slash and flaming-plasma his way through it on Twitch for our amusement.
Considering the quality of HL:A nearly 2 years ago, it's only a matter of time before something truly breath-taking gets made.
I hope so.
in D&D terms, if you can cast a sixth level spell that summons a magical sword that fights on its own (Mordenkainen's Sword), you should be able to have a blade come out of a wand like a lightsaber.
Yes a new video from my favorite smooth brained vr piggy
I have been playing a Str/Int spellblade build and it's been so much fun. Also got the bare handed perks so I can go all Tekken on a Skeletons ass.
Nothing feels as badass as parrying a blade with your bare hand, hitting them in the gut with a fireball, and finishing them with a karate chop to the neck.
Plus I got the legendary helm that let's you consume item crystal drops for temporary Stat boosts and the butcher's cleaver that let's you do the tackle move. It sends elites flying across the room.
I have finally become the anime character I always knew I was destined to be...
Orbus Vr fam. Has an entire mage class you have to memorize the wand strokes and everything
I was actually thinking about this recently. I have a workable mechanic that could make wand combat engaging.
hilarious as always
What I'd really love to see in VR games is a magic system like the one in Magicka games. I.e. one where you assemble spells on the fly by combining various elements. Like, Fire element makes a flamethrower, Fire + Arcane makes a fire beam, Fire + Earth casts a fireball, Fire + Water + Lightning casts a spray of electrified steam.
Unfortunately, such a system is extremely rare in non-VR games to begin with (really, the only example of this that I've ever seen is Magicka), so asking for that in VR games is even more of a tough sell.
My guy is all hits no misses I swear
Their's literally a game called Wands on base quest 2. So 👍
While Orbus VR does have wands for the wizard class, orbus vr doesn't have any high end graphics. But being able to draw your spells in the air, and blast spells in rapid succession can be fun. But also drawing 2D spells in a 3D space makes it easy to mess up by accidentally curving lines, which will cause a spell to fail.
This idea reminds me of my dream game concept. A fleshed out fantasy world with players functioning as all people in the world, discovering how magic works. Only finding them through speech and actions with only hints to how to find them
Will you be playing Hellsweeper VR? I tried the playtest and it was pretty good and i feel like you would dig its combat system
I imagine staves and wands of the same quality as being equal in power, but while the staff is a focus for incanting grand and destructive magics, the wand is more of a precision tool, specializing in quick surgical strikes and debilitating curses.
Lynecca who is a mod maker for blade and sorcery (and also an actual dev now) is working on a gesture based wand mod
"Keep that up and your wand will be a staff."
I was unprepared for that. 🤣😂🤣💀
Legendary Tales's dev team actually had an interview about the lack of infrastructure in Korea on youtube. Glad to see that they're staying on their feet! :)
Vr hand wandbat is incredible
been working on a gesture based VR wand game for a while now! its a lot of work but I'll hopefully have a functioning tech demo by next month :)
Can't wait to buy whatever habie is playing today
His channel is my wishlist
would be cool if you could trace out symbols for their respective effects
like lightning for a electricity-based spell
making selection diegetic instead of preset or a menu would be really cool
i love your content
Habie147, I think you would really like Waltz of the Wizard: Natural Magic (it has the best vr magic I've seen) and Crashland (it's only on the quest store and is absolutely terrifying).
Vengeful Rites may be the game for you Habie!
Try waltz of the wizard, it has great gesture based spell combat
Combining this with an Arx Fatalis style rune drawing might be cool as well.
Love ya habie
If wand combat used both a spoken phrase and a gesture with the wand, you could make the whole magic school thing much more realistic
Right in time for the teasers we’ve gotten for Blade and Sorcery U11, which is supposed to completely change how magic works with Wands and staves.
Ever play the hit VR game wands? where you duel others to win with spells and wands?
