>>26784 Since I haven't played Fall Guys, it'll be interesting for me to play Rumble with no point of comparison. >Sega has no confidence or vision for anything they do anymore? Sega hasn't had any of those things since they got bought by Sammy.

Remembered I had recorded the server beta. Will post over a couple days as I render it. https://files.catbox.moe/48y34r.mp4

I guess I'll try it once they finally put it on Steam

This is basically just Sonic Fall Guys ain't it? Doesn't seem too amazing.

>>27185 iirc they said it's gonna have different mechanics for each character in its proper release/update? That could be interesting if done well

>>26851 Sweet, this is the first gameplay footage I've seen. I never played Fall Guys so I didn't know what to expect. I can see why Sonic would be a good fit for this sort of thing.

Really hoping we'll be able to have some game nights for this game if you can host custom lobbies

https://files.catbox.moe/3rcqzn.mp4 >>27254 Yeah I'm hoping for that too.

>>28336 No thanks, he's gross.

>2 weeks until launch How has Rumble managed to have so little hype? Even Dream Team had more hype leading up to its launch and it was effectively shadowdropped on a platform nobody plays on.

>>29919 Surely we'll be getting Dream Team on Steam soon, right?

>>30036 Fantasian and Hello Kitty Island Adventure both spent 3 years in Apple Arcade Jail before ports were announced. If a port of Dream Team isn't announced by early 2027, it's probably never leaving Apple Arcade.

Give it to me straight doc. Will we get Sonic Adventure 3? Will we get a Sonic TV series for the shonen demographic? Will characters from spinoff stuff like IDW, the Movies, or TV shows ever appear in a proper game? Will Amy go back to openly being in love with Sonic in the games? Will the plot actually progress in the next Sonic game? Will we ever get a Sonic game where Crush 40 does the final boss music again? Will human NPCs ever make a comeback?

>10 days between nownand launch >No hype >No discussion or even acknowledgement of Rumble whatsoever How did Sega fumble so badly? It's so easy to get Sonic fans hyped for mediocre games and yet they didn't even try.

So this is free to play right? No one is paying money for a Sonic Fall Guys that will die in 2 days.

>>33306 >So this is free to play right? Yes, but people are saying it'll have a lot of ads and microtransactions.

>>33304 Maybe they'll try to hype it up in the next few days But from what I understand, it's been playable on phones for months in many countries. I find that pretty weird but I don't follow phone games, maybe that's normal

>>33306 You know actually this is for phone casuals and younger kids, not Sonic fans, maybe that's why they don't bother

>>33306 Why not? If it's fun, it's fun. I like Sonic, and a multiplayer platformer on my phone sounds like a good way to kill 15 minutes a night.

give it to me straight, they will never release it uh?

>>33367 >they will never release it uh? Yep.

baby shitter nigger garbage for nintoddler boomer faggots permanently stuck living in the 90s no pun intended rope classic niggers

>>28336 >preregister soon for jewnic biracial hog no thanks rope classic niggers and movienic normgroids

>>34338 Well for fuck's sake, Sega has become the pussiest company. Every decision is so scared and weak. >Can only release boost Sonic anymore cause that is safe >Removed parry timing from Frontier cause game journos' extra chromosome would seize at the process of timing >Added Classic Sonic to Forces and only had like, 4 levels for your avatar cause new gameplay scares them shitless >Loads comic writers with so many mandates and regulations the stories bog down to gay furry gi joe (I don't 100% disagree with this, but it's only done out of fear) Now that they're doing something new, (not even fucking new, it's a fucking survival party platformer) they have pulled the plug days before launch TWICE. Absolutely ball-less. Jesus Christ

>>34376 >Sega has become the pussiest company. They have always been massive cowards desu >Purged their entire IP roster except for sonic after the dreamcast failed because they blamed them on the sales and not their incompetent management >Tried to kill off sonic twice after their mismanagement caused him to fall off in the saturn era >Slashed budgets after the games THEY rushed weren't critical darlings even if they sold well >Kept adding all that junk on top of the genesis because they were afraid of making a new console, up to cancelling their potential successor and cannibalizing it's parts for the 32x

>>34380 Is Sonic their fantasy of what they wished they were like, a hero that always believes in himself despite what others think? I always thought it was ironic this was the mascot of Sega.

>>26784 More like Sonic Fumble, am I right lads or am I right lads?

>>34445 Gottemmmmmmmmmm

https://youtu.be/YC5SjoMuibE >Official Sonic Rumble Partner Youtubers are saying it's going to fail Yep, it's over.

>>35316 That made me laugh

I'm gonna bet that they're gonna delay it to 2026.

The phrasing and the exclamation mark is funny. It's like they want you to get excited for the delay

>>35329 We're getting GTA 6 before Sonic Rumble!

>>35350 They're gonna blame Sonic Rumble eventual failure on GTA VI.

>>35334 its actually impressive how hard they killed any hype for this shit. who even cares anymore?

>>35329 This post might be a joke, but at this point... Honestly if this is the case I'm not playing out of spite, just fucking release it or don't at this point. A multiplayer online Sonic party platformer is so straight forward of an idea it would have done fine. Jesus Christ.

As Sega Bumbles and Fumbles, fans' support for Rumble Crumbles.

This just silly. The same people shouting to just spit the game out now will be doom&gloom in a thread about 'is Frontiers 2 gonna get rushed' within the month. Quality control is not a bad thing. Particularly for this Franchise. Especially for this franchise. If its not ready, its not ready. I remember Runners used to melt phones. If they need to get this this better optimized, or better net-code, or whatever its missing, they have the talent sitting over in Rovio to have someone look over their work and fix it. Its a FTP mobile game anyway. Why get tied in a knot over it anyway.

>>35523 >Its a FTP mobile game anyway. Why get tied in a knot over it anyway. This FTP mobile game is taking longer to be developed than every sonic game before it, with exception to Sonic Forces and Sonic X-treme, and these two you can't say they had a great quality control, can you?

https://sonic-city.net/2025/05/02/sonic-rumble-ver-1-2-0-update-launches-may-8-with-new-stages-crews-skills-and-overhauled-progression/ They're adding City Escape and Sweet Mountain on May 8

>>35525 The lesson to take away from that certainly isn't "I guess we need less QT" If there is something so fundamentally busted about the game to warrant a delay then we should be applauding the restraint. There was a time when this game would have already shipped to market as unplayable. I'd rather not go back to those times thank you very much.

>>35543 Not a week before launch.

I'm tired of the "delays are always good" meme

>>35557 If anything it shows massive infighting or poor direction.

>>35558 Indeed. I'm also not fond of these "longer development cycles" of recent times either

>>35561 i miss the 2000s when studios would shit out amazing games every 2-ish years. now you have to wait 4 years for a fart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kfWZqvqVxE Rumble got updated to include City Escape and Sweet Mountain. They look better than I expected. The remixes are nice too

>>26784 I didn't actually remember what my OP was, I forgot I fucking called it.

>>37035 lol I didn't even realize

>Rumble has been delayed for over a month now with no new launch date in sight >Everyone's completely forgotten about this game, all hype has died >Everyone's focused on Crossworlds >Even on the mobile front, people are more focused on Blitz now How did they manage to fuck this game's launch up so badly?

>>39142 >rumble delayed >blitz gaining hype >they fuck up blitz release next to compensate and get things back to how they were before kek

>>39147 Blitz is made by Rovio, so there's a good chance they'll fuck things up worse than Sega proper.

>>39149 I don't play mobileshit so I'm not aware of their history, what are some of their major fuckups and what can we expect for Blitz?

>>39157 >what are some of their major fuckups and what can we expect for Blitz? Every game they made after Angry Birds has failed in one way or another, hence why they got bought out by Sega. Angry Birds 2 is an extremely predatory gacha game that fans of the originals hate to no end. They delisted the original Angry Birds games to avoid them taking revenue away from 2, relisted the first one after fan backlash and then took it down again. It's since been relisted, albeit under a different name, on the App Store, so if you have an iPhone it's worth buying since it's only $1. Rovio is also notorious for using AI art in their ads, so AIslop trading cards are more likely than you think. Expect tons of microtransactions and other predatory tactics along with general incompetence and laziness with the game's launch.

>>39149 Rumble is also made by Rovio lol

>>39159 It only uses Rovio's technology for microtransactions, it began development at SoJ before Sega acquired Rovio.

>>39158 >They delisted the original Angry Birds games to avoid them taking revenue away from 2, relisted the first one after fan backlash and then took it down again Holy shit

>>39166 Oh, cool. That's relieving actually. Where does this information come from? Because when I looked it up it just said it was made by Rovio

>>39229 Sega Acquired Rovio in August of 2023, Sonic Rumble was announced in May of 2024 with gameplay footage leaking out a couple months before then, Rovio simply wouldn't have had enough time to get the game to the state it was in at announcement in the mere months they had been a part of Sega for at that point. The original leaked test footage of Sonic Toys party is in Japanese. https://youtu.be/A1ksWPXs4sQ I believe Sega's business reports also corroborate indicate that Rumble is an SoJ project, but I'm too lazy to dig through those right now. So instead take this leaked spreadsheet of mobile games (Toys being Sonic Rumble) shows it as having been developed by GSC4, which is a part of SoJ.

>>39249 Interesting. Thank you

Do you think they'll shadow drop the global release on Sonic's birthday or have I huffed too much Copium?

>>39692 I keep forgetting this exists. Maybe they shadow cancelled it.

>>39692 I could see that announcement being made in a Sonic Central. Maybe even the release proper >>39698 I think the "pre-release" was getting some new content just a few days ago

Did Sega forget they haven't released the game yet? This seemed promising when it was announced and yet now all interest in it is completely gone due to all the sudden delays.

>>40791 True...

What the fuck is going on?

>>41481 I looked up the game page real fast. This was posted 6 days ago. >Many of you have been wondering why the game hasn’t been released globally yet, even though it may seem ready. We’re very close and determined to fine-tune Sonic Rumble to ensure the best possible experience once we launch on a global scale. There’s still so much exciting content in the works that we haven’t revealed yet. From new characters, challenging stages, exciting features, to the most amazing crossover events, the team is building even more ways to keep the action fresh and fun. >A big focus right now is making sure the experience is even better for new players who haven’t had the chance to play yet, so some of these changes might not be as visible to those who tried the game in its early stages. We feel a special responsibility to get this right for the entire Sonic community and to deliver a competitive, party multiplayer experience that keeps everyone, new and returning players alike, happy and engaged. >The team is making incredible progress toward Global Launch in 2025, and we can’t wait to show you everything we’ve been building. We are more excited than ever to welcome you all into the game later this year. Thank you for sticking with us on this journey. Your support keeps us moving full speed ahead. >- The Sonic Rumble Team I wish we had some sort of economy here, cause I would bet it all this shit ain't releasing in 2025.
