You need to be able to see the Warner IPs better! how are you going to recognize Bugs Bunny if he doesn't take up a quarter of the screen at all times?

Commander Keen is my hero.
When the first round of Multiversus was out, I watched some streams and commented that it looked really floaty and weird, and people told me that despite that it felt really good to play. Maybe it's like that again?

Presumably the change to UE? Not sure why that would make the models larger though

The floaty air physics actually did a lot to define the air to air combat as very positioning-heavy since most characters could move really well in the air, meaning you could do stuff like stall a moment to dodge while starting a big attack then drift in as the wind up ends, or radically change air momentum to bait attacks. It also affirmed the game's emphasis on off-stage play, since most characters could return to the stage with just jumps and dodges from almost anywhere, meaning you usually would have to go out after someone to make sure they died if they didn't hit a blast zone.

Basically it looked weird but was pretty fun in execution to mess with since in practice it meant that every character except Iron Giant felt pretty good in the air and still had offensive and defensive options up there, even if some like Garnet and T&J would still usually rather be on the ground. It feels really different in practice then, say, Brawl/4's floaty air physics that slowed everything down and limited the strength of air options and victimized anyone with a lacking air-speed.

Dunno what the relaunch is gonna feel like until it's in people's hands tho, being in a new engine and all.

Even Garnet had some incredible aerials- the big charged Nair that could meteor smash in two different directions was so satisfying when landed a double kill with it!

I bet the entire leadup to relaunch is going to be them introducing all the 'new characters', aka everyone who is in the game already.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

Multiversus stages were loving huge, making the characters bigger (or the stages smaller) makes some sense because it'll speed up the game by making getting kills a bit easier. Also means less times the camera zooms waaaaay out in 4 player matches to show everyone being a mile away from one another.

If they then also slowed gameplay down on top of that, though, that's stupid. I wonder if they'll do some kind of exhibition tournament on twitch before the relaunch? It'd help to see the game actually being played in a normal environment like that, to know what's going on.

Just blanket enlarging characters without taking a balance pass at the maps is gonna result in some lolworthy situations. Some maps have pits that bigger models are gonna make easier to grab the edges and escape from, and others have platforms that are going to be a lot easier for a cast of gigantos to dominate. Therefore I expect the maps to ship completely unchanged, complaints to roll in on twitter/reddit and then the maps clumsily patched a week later.

They removed the “New” from the postings, lol.

This game is almost a month from launch, and we’ve gotten one official article on changes. And that was netcode, which is important and was a major complaint, but we’ve gotten maybe five total minutes of gameplay and changes were just people watching those video closely.

I have to assume they either have a hell of a marketing blitz approaching, or they blew the marketing budget on McDonald’s and NHL promotions.

So they forced their Discord to spend a day doing clues to unlock the first character reveal: the Joker. And the full trailer isn’t out until Monday?

Like I kinda wonder how many new characters are even going to be in at launch.

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.
I still blindly hold onto hope that the Gandalf designs from the original concept are in along with Beetlejuice.

As someone who likes Multiversus, their marketing is just absolutely total dogshit. Even beyond this Joker reveal. I don't give a gently caress about hockey

Originally, you paid to get it more as an " early release "

It is supposed to be free to play to unlock more characters you earned credits to unlock. I held on to a ton of my credits anticipating more characters being added.

I believe they'll have the same model when it relaunches of F2P.

I wonder if they’ll do the Founder’s bundle that came with like 20 or so character unlock tokens. Not that I would buy it; I was tempted the first go-around and that was definitely a wise choice.

I bought the Bad With Money edition and enjoyed the game enough to not regret it. But it was so easy to unlock the new characters I never bothered to use the tokens.

My buddy really liked it so I played a decent amount and always thought it felt terrible to play, especially compared to smash. Nothing was satisfying and the animations felt jank, also I didn’t care for the dumb loadout bullshit.

Multiversus is like peeking into an alternate universe where Brawl was still slow and floaty but not done out of spite.
