Wish I could help but I didn't work on Oni2 lol.
I moved from PremiumContent to the Agents Team a while back, so sadly I don't have any insight on the production of Oni2.
Maybe u/Riot_Preeti could help? :eyes: sorry for tagging you unprompted haha
I dont check reddit notifications super often - I did see this. I understand that its appropriate for the way a katana is supposed to be held. There are a couple of truths to take into account
- players can choose to have their handedness swap in game, so for some players, this will always be "wrong"
- for right handedness, weapons are on the right side of the screen, and putting something on the left side when you expect it to be on the right is sometimes jarring. this was the primary reason why this was done.
admittedly, the RGX melee does sort of go against the 2nd point there, and that was something we had to work with in order to make sure nothing felt weird there, which is why we have the weapon take up the entirety of the bottom of your screen.
try swapping your game to the opposite handedness and experience how weird it is, then imagine that happens every time you go from your gun to your melee. this is what we wanted to avoid with the Oni Katana
