Question about fighting move, How do I... Options

[Stonkey]

Hey everyone.
First off, I want to say that Zeno Clash is one of the best games I've played. I hope it affects the whole game industry, causing more original content and ideas to be made into games. I actually haven't completed it yet. I'm taking my time and trying to savor it because I hear it's fairly short.
Also, I'd like to praise the community here. It seems like the devs take an active part in the forum, and that's always great. Stuff like the thread about deciphering the text around Golem really shows the character of Ace Team.

My question is fairly easy. If I didn't also want to praise the game I probably wouldn't have bothered to even start a thread (I searched, but I couldn't find an answer, so I hope I didn't miss something). When I was looking at some videos on YouTube before I decided to tbuy the game, I saw a move where Ghat does multiple knee smashes to the face of a stunned enemy before finally going for the elbow to the head. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Anyone care to enlighten me?

I'd also like to know what exactly the XBLA version has that the PC doesn't. I know there's a multiplayer component. Is that just co-op, or does that include versus? What else is new?

Hi Stonkey. Thanks for all the positive feedback!!! I'm glad you are enjoying the game.

About your questions:

1) Grab attacks: When an enemy is stunned (this happens to an enemy after receiving several consecutive hits), you have an alternative form of attack that isn't the 'uppercut'. Instead of just pressing punch again move forward to the stunned enemy and you will automatically grab him. From there you have several options: pressing the attack button performs a knee kick, but pressing a direction+attack performs other finisher moves.

The grab attacks were taught in the very first tutorial section. Remember when Metamoq instructs you to grab the green ghost?

2) The Ultimate Edition has cooperative gameplay for the tower challenges (no versus), a few extra attacks that the player can perform, a couple of extra weapons in the SP campaign, a few extra enemy models, and some small little additions like a character gallery and cheats menu.

Ah. I guess that was my problem. I either always hit punch (without first doing the actual grab), or I would move in for the grab but keep holding W and end up doing the throw move. Thanks!

Unfortunately, that early tutorial didn't work so well for me. I couldn't see either the green ghost or my hands in that part. My computer is fairly old, so I have the graphics turned down. I just had to look around pressing E until I locked onto a blank space in the air and then just get lucky about doing what Metamoq said to do.

Sounds cool. I know it's been said that Ace Team is working on the Rock of Ages game. And I actually just saw an announcement for Zeno Clash 2. But will that extra content ever be available for PC? I'm sure that getting multi-player stuff would be a big job. But I'd appreciate even just the new moves, models, and weapons. Either way, I won't let the missing content spoil my fun with Zeno Clash for now.

That's strange... You should still be able to see the models in low detail... How old is your computer?

Unfortunately there are no plans to bring this content to the PC. We're a small studio and we need to focus on our next titles. For more info about this topic please refer to the related post at the Steam Forums...

It's about 4.5 years old. It's an Acer Aspire 5100. It has 2gb ram, but only an integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 video card (128 mb).
I could actually seen the ghosts when you are with Metamoq on the woods. Just not in the part where you are unconscious. And I could see my hands everywhere but when I'm unconscious.

Ah well. Like someone else in the Steam forum said, that's not the answer I wanted to hear, but I do understand. So long as you make an awesome Zeno Clash 2, everything will be alright in my book.
