MultiVersus General Discussion - Shut Down planned for May 30.

[LimeTH]

#SaveMultiversus is trending. I dunno how likely that is to affect anything, but hey, in four months, if there's enough of a stink made, anything could be possible.

I DID see this screenshot while scrolling through. Probably coping and not actually true but it does sound like an interesting theory

Hearing Freddy Krueger was ready for the roster hurts my soul. Really is such a shame that had they charged 60$ and unlocked the whole roster, we wouldn't have had to deal with as many awful micro transactions and they would've had the funds to actually develop the game.

Stuff is coming out about the management of the project, which isn't surprising. The biggest red flag I can think of was when the devs were making statements about how they could see themselves adding characters to it for decades, before the actual game was released. They really thought this would be a slam dunk.

 

[Eremurus]

Lol.

Lmao even.

 

[Guynamednelson]

An statement from Tony himself

Worth reading in my opinion. It even has info on Banana Guard of all things

"produced it over the weekend"
Even with his pre-existing model and MVS's smaller movesets compared to Smash, I doubt BG was that quick of a project. I think I heard somewhere that the Project M dev team made Roy's animations over the course of 500 hours, and being a semiclone, he has his own corner cuts in the form of either having some animations still be directly copied from Marth, or animations that are tweaked Marth ones rather than all-new ones made from scratch.

Then again the tools they used to animate Roy were...primitive compared to what a team using Unreal would use.

The theory isn't that far-fetched considering the one Reddit post says basically the same thing, along with mentioning how WB likes Multiversus as a concept, just not the management.

Of course, if the idea of a WB crossover platform fighter were to be revived in the future, I would try to avoid the Multiversus branding due to the reception it has gotten.

Shame. "Multiversus" is a really good title for a crossover fighter.

I still think Warner Bros might actually be crazy enough to grab MVS' concept and try to apply it to a hero shooter

You might say "why not just do it with DC". I dunno, prob to avoid the obvious Marvel Rivals clone allegations

 

[darkvortex]

Yeah I think if something like MVS comes back it'll be in a different genre

Seems like a fun idea. Roster would be tough to decide. At the very least, I feel the 10 characters below should definitely be base additions:

Spoiler

1. Batman
2. Superman
3. Wonder Woman
4. The Joker
5. Bugs Bunny
6. Daffy Duck
7. Tom & Jerry
8. Scooby-Doo
9. The Wicked Witch of the West
10. Rick Sanchez

If anyone wants, I can explain why I chose these 10 as a base. If everyone wants, I can also expand this roster to 37 characters, the amount Marvel Rivals has now, while including overlap from Multiversus and Lego Dimensions (note that Gamer Kid (Lego Dimensions character) and Ruby Rose (scrapped Multiversus character) won’t be included. For the former, I want to focus on the Midway Arcade games themselves. For the later, RWBY is no longer Warner property so if a WB hero shooter came out, it’d be highly unlikely she’d be included.

Multiversus went from most hyped to most fumbled after the relaunch

God no, everyone does shooters. That’s part of what made MVS special, that it was a different genre.

There's been a petition going around, and Daniel Ross (Gizmo, Stripe, Uncle Shagworthy) has signed and promoted it:

I've said this already but I think it deserves its own post.

One of the more upsetting parts of MVS getting shut down is that this is probably the last time any Cartoon Network character will ever be in a video game.

Uhhh I dunno if I believe that

 

[MBRedboy31]

Do you think there’ll be anything posted about Aquaman and Lola tomorrow before their release on Tuesday, even a mere screenshot?

They sure aren’t doing a good job of hyping up the fact that the game is still getting one big last big update…

 

[LimeTH]

Uhhh I dunno if I believe that

The way WBD has been practically wiping CN from existence the past year, it’s not all that farfetched.

 

[PeridotGX]

I've seen people say that they should release everything they have in the pipeline. If they were to do that, and assuming the staff is working on the game until End of Service (which I think is very unlikely), here's what I think they could end up releasing. Obviously very speculative.

Basically Done:

• Wicked Witch. As we all know, in the works since the beta and in the comics. Probably put on indefinite hold because of Wicked (which is dumb but I digress)
• Pickle Rick. Because of his nature as a clone, he can be "done" at pretty much any point, all that matters is how unique they want to make him. Probably unreleased because of the immensely negative reaction to him in the leaks.

Probably Finishable:

• Ruby. She probably would have been one of the S6 characters, genuinely just unfortunate timing.
• Gandalf. He was complete in the beta - it would take a bit of time to remake him in the modern engine, but still substantially easier than making a fighter from scratch.
• Mr. Meeseeks. This is assuming he has a kind of lazy moveset like Banana Guard
• Any clone/semi-clone. Fiona, Shazam, take your pick. They go here for the same reason Pickle Rick is the tier above, but lower because they presumably haven't been developed to a meaningful degree, necessitating a new model and voice acting

Maybe??? (these are basically just the characters we know were in some stage at development at some point. There could be more characters here, or some of these characters could be in the higher tier. We don't know enough):

• Daffy
• Scooby-Doo
• Mordecai
• Gumball

The people in charge now won't be in charge forever. Someday someone will be put in charge who knows these cartoons make money

 

[PersonAngelo53]

On a side note didn’t they say we would be getting news today for season 5? I think they said something about some patch notes? So like where is the news?

Ajax mentioned we would get some form of news today, likely just dropping the patch notes at Noon est (less than an hour from now).

There will not be a livestream this time.

Ah alright I see now. Thanks for the explanation.

 

[Geoffrey Druyts]

There are a bunch of stages that were datamined aswell. I wonder if they will release all of them or if they'll forever become unused.

God no, just copying Marvel Rivals without anything that made it work is lame and would lead to a much deserved failure. I would hope it never lasts long in fact.

No trailer for Aquaman and Lola at least?

 

[SneakyLink]

I don’t think we’re getting anymore trailers. We could, but since the game is ending in three months they may not see it as worth it. Or they ran out of budget.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Any money that could've been spent on a trailer should be spent on finishing more characters to give the player base for free for all the bs they out up with.

I mean, they gotta advertise the new characters somehow. Are they really just gonna let the game limp out to its death?

They'll come to Fortnite eventually,

 

[LimeTH]

They'll come to Fortnite eventually,

Yeah dude, They’ll get the Powerpuff Girls playable in Fortnite.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Yeah dude, They’ll get the Powerpuff Girls playable in Fortnite.

Fall Guys seems feasible at least.

 

[SneakyLink]

They'll come to Fortnite eventually,

Yeah WB’s strategy nowadays is collabs, and since Fortnite is one of the biggest games on the planet, it makes sense for some of the Multiversus roster to appear in FN (plus new versions of Aquaman, Raven, Rick, and Superman, since in Fortnite all of them were in a Battle Pass, and all pass items prior to the second Marvel season can never return unless a new version is made (example: Darth Vader was a Battle Pass skin. Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader Samurai are not)).

The ones that don’t work for Fortnite can still be in other games (such as Fall Guys or Minecraft (the later does have a few WB collabs already)).

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Mung Daal and Schnitzel in Fortnite would be epic.

 

[Faso115]

Yeah dude, They’ll get the Powerpuff Girls playable in Fortnite.

Ok but hear me out

 

[PersonAngelo53]

Umm, guess we are getting news later at night today? Is already way pass 12:00AM over here in EST time zone.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

The Red Guy NEEDS to be playable in a game with a non-car back POV.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

I mean, they gotta advertise the new characters somehow. Are they really just gonna let the game limp out to its death?

You mean like they've been doing for the last several months? There's been less and less with each season

 

[TORNADO BUS DRIVER]

Yeah dude, They’ll get the Powerpuff Girls playable in Fortnite.

I was joking. (though I do think Adventure Time Fortnite is simply a matter of time)

I do think crossovers with other games are the way forward though. They're already all in on Brawlhala

 

[Greenhorne Ethan]

Very disappointed that things turned out this way, especially since the Wicked Witch apparently got swapped out for Lola. I would've been content with this game ending if it got its Wizard of Oz rep.

If all that about Tony is true, it really is so awful.

 

[SneakyLink]

It is the end, but hey, at least we got one more tank:

 

[Faso115]

Ok i'll admit, he looks pretty cool
