Ryaomon posted:The real biggest issue was that people managed to kind of understand that with such a broad wealth of IPs to draw from your personal favorites may not get in immediately, and they still managed to have a super underwhelming roster. Who the hell wanted Gizmo or Morty? The first DLC season of the beta was two Gremlins, Rick, Morty (separate), and Black Adam How are you already running out of ideas

As someone not playing Multiversus, two Gremlins as dlc is great imo. Very funny and cool

Honestly its telling on yourself more to not be excited for Gremlins. Way better than most of the poo poo they put in there.

Rick and Morty: Boring choices. Risk-averse. Kind of a meme I guess. Suggests lack of creativity or personality from devs. Some WB board member suggested this for sure. Two Gremlins: Extremely strange choice. Exciting and weird. Devs getting strange with it, having fun. Why two? That's just nuts. I'm sure there was some niche Gremlins memes going around or something at the time of their release that would also make them also a boring choice, but not knowing poo poo it's very funny to me.

I dont think they had a genuine strategy for DLC characters other than what they thought people wanted and what had Synergy(tm) but in the most corporate exec who does not understand customer experience kind of way.

kirbysuperstar posted:though iirc superbot wanted to have more variation but sony had the final say The people demand the iconic, memorable, and beloved character "Big Daddy" from Bioshock a game only associated with Playstation. The roster is a mess of sensible and what the hell corporate why is our live service game dying we gave all the super heroes guns thinking. I also firmly believe one of the strengths of Smash is consistency of aesthetic and PABR couldn't clear that. I vaguely remember it being hideously unbalanced but not in a fun way, just like "hey this move you're required to use on your character is a total dud while that other ones cheaper option is superior to you in every way"

Given how popular Super Smash Bros is, and the crazy good numbers MvS put up initially, it's shocking to me there haven't been more attempts at clones. Like why do they keep trying to make Destiny II and Fortnite? Are there just way more devs with shooter experience?

Platform fighters are hard and also tough to get access to so much strong IP if you want the crossover factor.

It is way way easier to design a single player game with a loot treadmill than it is to design a fighting game that will land with enough of a mass audience to stick around.

Its also the only one of these that has a consistent aesthetic and one its imported characters from outside franchises have to comport to.

I doin't think Multiversus is failing is due to a missing core to the crossover or whatever. It had a huge playerbase that bled out over time because the monetization and the balance was bad and getting worse all the time.

It had a huge playerbase that bled out over time because the monetization and the balance was bad and getting worse all the time. I think it being a messy game with bad monetization and balance is an outgrowth of wanting an esports live service title first, coherent and appealing game second. But it is also just, flatly, not good Endorph posted:the funniest thing to come out of playstation all stars is the devs emailing square enix to go 'can we put cloud in this,' getting told no, waiting a week, then emailing them again to go 'okay what about squall tho' To be fair, I wouldn't have waited a week.

Waffleman_ posted:It also had everyone's favorite MGS character: pre-Revengeance Raiden To be fair, that was the closest they came to a third party character who was tied to playstation specifically since at least for a little while his, admittedly, prior game was exclusive to playstation, unlike all the others that launched multi-platform. The weirdest gap on the roster to me is no Ico or Wander. Edit: They had the guy(?) from Starhawk because it just came out the previous year but lol if anyone remembers that except my stupid rear end who rented it

Playing Killer Instinct and Blazblue on the go is kind of awesome, I really want sequels to both. kirbysuperstar posted:I remember Starhawk but mostly because Warhawk is the first game on my trophies list and then I go "oh yeah i never got to play starhawk" It and MAG were two games I played because I didnt want to play nothing but CoD multiplayer games and both were very bad. MAG frankly is one of the more misleading titles Ive ever played.

The weirdest thing about Playstation All Stars Battle Royale's roster is that it didn't have Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. A mistake Smash Bros has now also made.
