Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl General Thread - All Star Brawl 2 Available Today!

[ivanlerma]

So, I Had this one question i haven't been able to say about the game.

When i started replaying the game, i noticed the ringout effect of Nick All-Star had stars & smoke rings coming out with the rainbow lights which i've never seem before.

Are these new to the game? or where they there since the start?

Not sure if anyone saw this yet, but I think voice acting might be coming in the next big update.

I don't think that we'll get voice acting before crossplay, so I think that we might be waiting longer.

That's Great to Know, They're Incorporating a Few New Details To The Game While Adding New Additions.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

It's a shame that these details are causing so much lag on Switch and the team somehow didn't notice.

NASB lagging on the Switch while MVS skips it makes me wonder if its devs really didn't want to deal with the Switch's hardware. A lot of devs don't really. Indie games are lucky they usually have budgets that are too small to really take advantage of the PS4/Xbox One let alone the PS5/XSX.

Not really news per se, but Rep stated on Twitter that Hugh is going to be really funny, which I'm behind 100%; I love me some really funny, goofy characters in platform fighters!

Also, Mark DeCarlo responded by telling him to prove it, and Rep responded with a face-in-clouds emoji; does anyone know what that means exactly?

Side note: I love that DeCarlo's current profile image is Hugh's render; that is perfection!

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I have a feeling this may be a hint at VA releasing with or before Hugh (which people were already guessing anyway)

 

[LimeTH]

If they introduce VA with Hugh and don't get DeCarlo to narrate his own character showcase in character, that is the missed opportunity of the century.

I'm not thinking that unless we're getting both crossplay and voice acting at the same time.

Yeah and I also have a feeling that this is why crossplay is taking so long, since every platforms have Rollback netcode except the switch. Tbh it just seems that making this game available on so many platforms for such a small studio was a poor decision.

According to Thaddeus, the Switch's delay netcode isn't as relevant as the marketers thinking new characters were more marketable.

I think that releasing the game on that many platforms was the decision of Nick and GameMill, not Ludosity.

What makes you say that?

I just find it weird if we got voice acting before crossplay because voice acting was only hinted at while crossplay was outright confirmed and promised for a Q1 2022 release. Oh, and it's very likely to come out within the next patch or two thanks to all the Q&A testing they're doing for the past several months and the devs outright stating that the next patch is not a balance patch.

It's very possible they got VA squared away and ready before crossplay, even if they started crossplay first. They're not going to hold onto it until crossplay is ready.

My guess is that they want to keep Voice acting a surprise so they don't talk too much about it like items that will most likely comes in the future. I don't think it's really an indication of what will come first.

Voice acting would be much more difficult to add than crossplay, regardless of if they get the voice actors to record new lines or they use archive recordings. It does help that Extreme Tennis was able to get all the old VAs back, save for Mikey (who is voiced by his 2012 reboot VA, Greg Cipes, despite being based on his 80s incarnation), and Arnold (who is voiced by a new child actor). They could get most of the old VAs back, save for Oblina and PTM (whose original VAs are dead), Nigel (whose VA suffered a stroke), and Aang (whose VA was a child actor who is now too old to play the role).

 

[Ze Diglett]

Doubtful. Mark DeCarlo responds to NASB news a lot, and Rep was probably just saying that Hugh can do some funny stuff (which is to be expected out of this game). VA's probably coming with Hugh either way, like you said.

Do you really think adding voicelines to a game is harder than adding crossplay? I haven't exactly made a game before, but I can only assume writing netcode's damn hard. VA might be more logistically complex due to the bigger amount of moving parts, but I think saying it's "much more difficult" than crossplay is much too simple as a blanket statement.

 

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

Voice acting is usually one of the last things in development. It's WAY easier than online netcode especially when NASB's own devs have horrible connections between the console platforms, making crossplay even harder.

Having a game like this be PC-only would've been a terrible idea.

Would've been basically suicide for the game, given that both the kid audience and Smash audience are on the Switch.

I'm not saying it should've skipped the Switch. If anything the consoles it could've skipped are the PS5 and XSX, they're fully backwards compatible anyway.

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

Either way I just hope they fix the ringout effect lag soon. It can't be THAT system-intensive, right? and the rest of the game runs at 60FPS.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

I've never said it should be pc only, I'm saying that making a game with such a small team for 6 different platforms including pc was a bad idea. Ps4 and Ps5 players can't even play together despite the fact that the game doesn't really have a next gen updrade.

Well there's some frame drops on the Royal woods cemetery stage (probably due to the rain effect) but otherwise the Switch version isn't that bad aside from the last update which slows a lot when there's a kill.

The Dump and Dutchman Ship also have some mild lag, but nowhere near Royal Woods levels, more on part with Ultimate's offline input lag if anything.

All the more reason it could've skipped PS5 and XSX and just relied on those systems' backwards compatibility.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Slime Time stage yet. That runs like absolute ASS on PC, surely it can't be much better on Switch?

I have my settings on low solely so I can play that stage. I don't have to do this with any other game, even ones that feature things like ray tracing.

Ran awful on Switch at Shredder launch, but fixed in the next patch,

I've never noticed any lag on Royal Woods Cemetery, though

Speaking of which, I wish that stage had another cameo or two.

 

[dlewis53]

I'm a purely Switch player, and I gotta be honest: outside of the slowdown from kills that happened with the recent update, I haven't really noticed any particular issues on any of the stages mentioned (at least, offline; if they're primarily occurring online, then I definitely haven't seen them); either they haven't been happening for me, or they're so minute and brief that I don't notice them.

WHAT

Edit: In case it didn’t embed, items and voice acting are out TODAY

 

[Deleted member]

Timing this with the PS Plus release (if intentional) was a great move

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Any estimate for the Switch release date?

EDIT: Also, has anyone checked Oblina and Nigel's VAs in the credits? And the TMNT characters while I'm at it, since they're voiced by their 2012 VAs in Tennis.

EDIT; NVM, they have credits on Twitter

Well that was sudden. Guess I’ll look out the game and give em a go

frank welker wasn’t Garfield’s voice in the 90s right?

IIRC Lorenzo Music (who coincidentally also voiced the version of Bill Murray's character in The Real Ghostbusters) was the voice in the 90s, but Frank Welker took over in the 2000s

 

[Deleted member]

Welker firsts started voting him in Garfield gets real, but is most known for voicing him in the Garfield show.

ok thanks

I'm watching a stream, and it seems characters have specific lines for using items.
