I think to some extent some characters might be chosen on voice actors availability, but I don't think it's really a huge deal because if that was the case, we wouldn't have got Agent Smith at all, nor Iron giant for example. But I guess it's a case by case basis and it might depends of the characters, I think some characters are just way too associated with their actors to be in the game if the actors isn't available. I don't really believe in a "voice actor theory" because I think characters are chosen on their own merits, not just "let's add every Looney Tunes characters because Eric Bauza is easy to work with!"
I don't necessarily think so. If content from it is already in the game, there's the possibility they've already paid the licensing fees; Viz Media may also see it as equivocally free advertising to maintain the contract to include content for their new property in the game, though weirdly, if true, it would make RWBY our first "third party" franchise in a weird parallel to of all things Banjo-Kazooie. Being a former second party IP that would later become third party.
That is interesting. Let us hope content from RWBY does get in!
I definitely think looking at voice work is an underused piece of speculation - especially if recasts are involved. It reminds me of how the actor that plays Shagworthy also does the Gremlins characters. Obviously you couldn't have speculated with this, because I'm pretty sure this is the first time in both roles, but it sets a precedent.
I wouldn't say so. If ruby is already being worked on, while not impossible it gets scrapped, they could see it as worthwhile to keep, since we have fringe cases like Jason anyway. If Viz wants the free advertising for their new product they'll go for it
Eh… people want Jotaro and he’s also Viz. It’s not like Viz is unreasonable either, from what I can remember.
what if they add both though.
This game is so cooked if they have to cut RWBY content since that's a ton of resources down the drain.
No Gandalf was never mentionned officially, and we still have no clue if he's coming or not. Apparently some of his assets came back in some of the latest patch so his status is still uncleared.
They’ve been working on it since the beta too, so that’s gonna be an enormous waste if they haven’t figured out a way for it to still happen or if there’s enough contract/licensing stuff done that it’s too late to stop it from coming.
That's why I don't think this game is gonna last much longer. WBD is too unstable right now.
In fairness, live service games are what they're pivoting towards, not away from. We'll know more about the ultimate fate of the game around April, I imagine...the end of the fiscal year.
And live service games have seen more failures recently than successes. We've had Babylon's Fall, Marvel's Avengers, Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League, and more completely crash and burn.
Obviously. But The Suits™, in all of their ineptitude, are insistent on it as a format regardless. My point is that I'd wait until the end of the fiscal year to write the game off as dead. At the very least it will absolutely outlast the Suicide Squad game.
The difference is, despite everything, this game has still managed to be successful.
Those games were live service and full price, which is why they sold poorly and the few people who bought the game didn't want to spend anymore money. MVS is free so it's a totally different scenario. I think the game will be fine, the player base seems to have stabilised (on Steam) and the latest patch have gotten a very good reception.
I wouldn't blame you or other users for thinking this, but I'd like to believe RWBY becomes a gateway for more WB-tied Viz properties to join in. Fingers crossed for Inuyasha if this happens.
Yep, they're definitely new as he did have Shaggy's animations before the update.
Eh… people want Jotaro and he’s also Viz. It’s not like Viz is unreasonable either, from what I can remember.
If we get Austin Powers in MultiVersus, that's another check off "Space Jam 2 Bingo".
That will be a grim display of things to come if they can't get RWBY in. MVS isn't in the position to be throwing away that kind of work if they didn't even have Agent Smith done in a timely manner, they were so far in development with Rwby that they had banners and stuff ready.
It wouldn't even be their fault if it came to that, that's the worst part. They had every intention of having RWBY stuff in this game before WB got its ass in a knot.
Kinda unrelated, but is there a source for this? This is the first time I'm hearing about this and the wiki doesn't show the name of his voice actor.
Yeah there's no source on that it's just speculation, personally I think it sounds more like Troy Baker (who also played both Batman and Joker in the past so I think it would make sense) but it's hard to tell because the voice is so modified.
The only thing we should get (If Ari collabs with this game) is a Announcer pack and a Stage with 1 of Ariana's songs orchestrated for the stage
why?
Honestly my take on real person is that I'm not 100% against it, but they need to have a really strong ties to WB. I think Lebron was already kind of pushing it, but honestly he kind of grew with me because 1. He have cool skins potentials thanks to the Space Jam 2 worlds, which makes him fits in the Multiversus worlds quite well (like him having a Themyscira and Robin skins). 2. Is moveset is genuinely one of the most creative moveset in a platform fighters and 3. He's kind of memable, but he doesn't feel like a "meme pick" like Pickle Rick would (the fact that he have the J. R. Smith yelling as an atack is an example of that). I think Eric Andre could work for example because of his show on CN and he also has meme potential, but I don't see Ariana Grande working in the same way.
Sorry about the misinformation. I heard people speculating it was RCS and I thought it was confirmed. Bit weird his VA isn't confirmed, but whatever.
