Elden Ring, the FromSoftware action adventure RPG is already one of the biggest games out there thanks to its top tier open world exploration, enjoyable combat and immersive storyline. The game has now reached another level of popularity thanks to so many gamers trying to beat or play the game in innovative ways. We have seen players using just one button, instruments, brain waves and so many other different ways to play a game and now a fan has just created a Greatsword motion controller, learn more about this player and their innovation below.
Spotted by Destructoid, Louis 64 is a YouTuber, that is known to create life-sized weapons to play games with motion controls or other types of unique controllers. In the past, the developer created an actual Buster Sword to play the Final Fantasy 7 Remake title with Cloud’s weapon of choice. Moreover, he has also created a controller that comprises multiple bananas to play Elden Ring, with each banana having a “one button input”. Now, the player has taken up his next unique project and that is creating a Greatsword motion controller to play Elden Ring.

In the video posted on their official X account (formerly Twitter) we see Louis 64, use an actual Greatsword to control a Greatsword user in the game. It seems like the motion controller he has created, just doesn’t look lifelike but matches the weight too, as he is seen struggling slightly while moving the weapon around.

In the video we see him 2 things with this controller, which is attack and guard. To attack, the player swings the sword forward and to guard he has to hold it vertically. Their goal right now is to make the “swings tighter and finish the block stance”. Louis 64 has also stated that there are only a “few bugs left but in the next update the full build will be completed”.
