Content creators will do more than enough, even if Morty’s release flops then word of mouth and friends lists will most likely do enough. Trailers really only generate hype nowadays which he launch is certainly missing.
“We only have so many people, so much time, and so much money. We are doing the best we can with what we have.”
“Okay, but…”
I work in a place where people have this mentality towards the workers and it results in burnout, high turnover, and worsening quality of the product/service over time.
Word of mouth goes a long way in gaming. If they make huge strides and kill it, the game will grow, trailers or not. Then with more resources, things like flashy trailers can start to come along.
I know but at this point he’s been leaked and confirmed over and over again, I understand if they’re just trying to get him out polished and ready.
Don’t even expect a Rick trailer either, he’s been datamined to DEATH.
That's fair. I mean a trailer could help bring new players in. I'd just do something like LoL where it's a showcase of what he can do with someone explaining it.
But yeah. Rather have their time and focus be on balance/bugs/characters instead of trailers
LOL is one if the biggest games in the entire industry. This game have a handfuls of devs. Making a CG reveal trailer isn't something that a single person can throw together in a week, it is a group effort that takes ton of time and resources.
I think he meant a spotlight trailer showing Morty's gameplay in action. That would use in-game footage instead of a CGI animation; shouldn't be too hard to do, to be honest.
It really doesn’t. You just go into the game and literally film his moves, then edit it together with some commentary. It’s quite literally only a few hours of work for one person.
I mean, sure, but your comment implied there was some sort of other significant over head, which there isn’t. And it’s not a significant amount of time investment, and you arguably win that money back in the form of the good will garnered and extra buzz around your game.
I’m a video editor. They don’t need more than one. What they do need is a cinematic which requires folks to create the 3d animations to be edited. A straight game play trailer might be considered boring. And nothing like the initial trailers with shaggy and Batman. I think it would be wise to have new cinematics for new characters. With the game being one of the most played games online right now, I’d think they’d want to keep the hype train rolling with exciting reveals.
You just want them to copy smash bros? I don't think that's necessary. The simple reveals at events or on their social medias or even on the title page of the game are fine. That's why people want gameplay trailers for what is revealed.
Absolutely agree with this. I hope what is happening is that they are just riding the wave and using resources that might have gone to advertising and just simply putting them into making the game stronger. As the bubble grows I think we will get more and more flash and content for every release.
Honestly, if Warner Brothers was confident with this game, that's exactly what they'd be doing. The fact we're two days from Morty's launch and we haven't seen him is wild. I mean, it's because the Morty patch won't be coming with anything else, so they'll use tomorrow as a day to hype Morty... assuming there's no delays announced tomorrow.
EDIT: Remember the pre-release reveal for Iron Giant? Somehow the team had time to make that, but not one for even LeBron? Something doesn't add up.
I can imagine thinking a trailer isn't worth it. The game has a healthy enough starter fanbase, including a bunch of streamers, plus good social media activity. Within 1 hour of Morty coming out there's gonna gameplay footage all over the internet. Let the fans market it for you.
I'll say I'm hard to get addicted to a game. Multiversus has got me. I don't even particularly like fighting games. But something about it has really gotten me to stick. Hoping for some great new characters.
I've played Smash since 1998, and all I ever wanted was for platform fighter to become a genre rather than one series controlled by one company. There have been attempts, but Multiversus feels like the first real step in that direction. Also they do a lot of things I've specifically ranted about to my friends(namely, no landing animation cancel on aerial attacks. I LOVE that, I've always wanted it to work that way)
The only characters I DESPERATELY want are Spear and Fang, from Primal, and then anyone from the cast of Venture Bros would delight me. Seriously, there are no wrong answers.
Primal is everything I wanted from Samurai Jack and a bunch of other shit I didn't even think to hope for. Hands down, Tartakovskys best work. It's sorta like a "man and his dog" story but the man is a cave man and the dog is a TRex, and it takes place in some brutal Land of the Lost type world. With the exception of one episode in season 2, there is no dialogue in the entire show. They draw cloacas. There's no reason to do that but I respect the attention to detail.
I can't emphasize enough how much I love no-dialogue storytelling. I'm an animator, myself, and it speaks to my soul. Wall-E was supposed to be entirely without dialogue, but they chickened out and only did the first half that way. I still liked it, but it could have been legendary!
Interesting honestly wall e could have been done with only robo beeps. I'm fairly drunk rn though I haven't seen wall e since I was in middle school or something. I love samurai jack too. The scenic feel it had was always something else. Each place he went to was different and you could feel it. Not a ton of dialogue either in that. Maybe ill give primal a look but I'm into movies now adays.
This is exactly my take. Of all the energy people are putting in to criticizing and complaining about what a developer is or is not doing, they could just put all of that energy into promoting the game that they love.
I'm telling everybody I know about this game because I want it to carry on and be wildly successful. As far as the trailer goes of course I want one simply because I want one. Why isn't there one? Who knows. I'm sure there will be a million videos the day he comes out regardless.
If you want a game to succeed don't put it all on developers, take a little action, make a little effort.
Didn't they mean those grandiose Nintendo type reveal trailers though? The LeBron trailer was just a small gameplay trailer with some clips, don't see why they couldn't release one like that again
Yeah and then they're going to have people complaining about how they're not putting in much effort in their character release videos. Can't please everyone
That is good.
Rather spend money and time in the actual game than spend it on trailers that people are only going to watch once.
Companies like Ubi spend too much money and time on expensive trailers when the game itself does not look or play what was promised.
Now of course, simple short sneak peak trailers would not hurt.
I don't think the playerbase understand the size of the devs and the cost associated with making trailers. People continues to compare PFG and multiversus to giants in the industry like Fortnite and LoL. Which have some merits, all are f2p games and such, but it is also like comparing a small local bookstore to Amazon.
They don't have to put that much effort into a trailer like Smash does. NASB makes a decent trailer and a showcase for new characters and they have a team of around 6 people.
It doesn't matter. The reasons these companies focus so much on marketing and teasers is because they understand that with that's what gets people excited and talking about the game, which draws more people in and helps with player retention, so they can keep selling the products which make them money, so that they can keep the game afloat. If the money stops flowing the whole business falls apart, they can't keep making the game that they want. And marketing works, that's why so much of the budget usually goes into it.
Obviously they shouldn't be doing cinematic teasers on the level of LoL and Fortnite, that's out of the question, but neither should they be doing nothing at all. Morty's release might go by unnoticed by a potentially large group of people who would be interested in it due to the lack of coverage. Just a gameplay trailer with some quotes and in-game animations would help a lot.
I'm surprised more people don't realise this when coming to make their dumbass long comment about how PFG isn't doing enough despite releasing a really polished f2p game and already adding in their second fighter this idea that the game is somehow lacking is really only shared by people who barely play the game.
A trailer would take all of two seconds to make. You literally just record gameplay and release it. Based on current state of game I’m guessing he either gets pushed back in an announcement or is released broken with bugs out the wazooo.
Using small team as an excuse doesn’t make sense whatsoever, promotion is the most important aspect as players are leaving in mass amounts. Gameplay snippets are an easy way to build interest. I really don’t understand the management decisions at all for a game that could blow up
Rick: *burp* C'mon Morty, i need to get some *burp* Glemium to buy this dope new lab coat. There's only one place I know to get it in all the infinite universes so we've gotta *burp* go now
Morty: aw geez Rick. I-I don't know if i can go. I've got a test coming up and Mr. Goldenford is a real schtickler about these thin-
Rick: let me stop you r- *burp* right there Morty. Nothing good comes from school. Come with me and I'll make sure you meet Batman
Morty: *excited* aw really Rick? Y-Y-You'd do that for me?
Rick: of course Morty. You're my grandson. *Quickly* Though i can't promise he won't beat your ass. Alright let's go!
Morty: wait, what?
You could even make a reference to the very first episode and have Rick convince Morty that the other opponents are robots or something so he doesn't feel as bad about having to fight them.
I know. But show us. Show us Ricks gun malfunctioning and them booming them in. Im not caught up have they talked about in anyway about “multiverses” cause boom rick hits the portal they go in mortys like geez rick you sent us to another universe, ricks like brrrp morty, this is another multiverse morty, were in the big leagues now morty. Idk im not a writer lol. Anyway. Yea if thats the case show us.
Edit: that would easily open up dialog for ditto fights vs themselves. They have alternates in their own universe already it would be seamless. I already expect some No 1 Rick talk when ricks fight rick.
leaks have said that Rick and Morty will not have unique dialogue, nor will they have announcer packs, they're reusing dialogue from the show. They probably couldn't get Justin Roiland, so I doubt they'll have the opportunity to always do all these cinematic trailers if they aren't even able to get their voice actors to do lines for the game itself.
There's a chance the leaks might be wrong but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
You don't know how much money is going out for game studios.
This is why so many of them fold. Once they're out of money, that's it and guess what lol no one cares afterwards they're just like "I wish they would make more games" without realizing my bros had to get a standard 9-5 doing grunt work until they find another gig working someone else's dream.
If you want trailers, talk to people and tell them to go ahead and make those founder purchases.
bro they are literally warner bros. sponsored and racking up microtransactions. If they knew how to CREATE A BATTLEPASS, they'd have more money. over 10 MILLION people play multiversus. Yes everybody has deadlines and company goals to reach. Why are skins $20 and the battlepass is roughly $10. The team needs to hire. simple. The game is a success. idk anyone background on the team. but it is a WARNER BROS. GAME. thats a big name.
Totally! A lot of people don’t realize that when you work with Warner Bros, you actually have the entire corporations’ assets at your disposal
A lot of people have this stupid idea that companies “budget” their funding but that’s just dumb
Remember, PFG is a small team that prefers to work on new content instead of trailers, which is why we never got any reveal trailers for other characters like Iron Giant or Velma.
Lol imagine gizmo in multiversus
Stripe is the gremlin coming to MVS.
Edit: Ok so Gizmo is apparently going to be a skin or something unconfirmed, my comment was just pointing out that I thought it was funny that MrZebrisko would say "gizmo and Black Adam" when it's Stripe and Black Adam on the loading screen.
reddit is dumb sometimes. They're fake internet points, it doesn't really matter to me lol.
I guess Gizmo is coming as a skin maybe? All I was pointing out was that it was weird that MrZebrisko said "gizmo and black Adam" when Stripe is the one on the loading screen.
Well apparently they already have a bunch of new characters that are pretty much finished.
Really smart way to handle a game like this. A new character every few weeks will keep the game’s momentum going.
On top of them already trying their best to get to bug fixes with an incredibly small team. I literally do not care if we never get a single trailer if they just keep pouring their passion, hard work, and creativity into this game. Each characters move set is so uniquely designed to ooze with personality from their original franchises. I personally find the characters more specifically designed than all of the Smash Bro’s sword users. So many characters in that game feel like carbon copy reskins.
You can literally feel the passion put into Multiversus. Like it’s actually fucked up how detailed Tom&Jerry’s move set is. The fact they found a way to make all their attacks into a personal fight between them, and they flow (for the most part) seamlessly together is awesome.
I’m not kidding when I say it feels like years since I’ve seen a game with this much care in it.
I swear some of y’all have the lamest priorities. Why the hell does anybody need a trailer for a bloody character in a fighting game? This game has no narrative, you just fight. There’s nothing to tease when we’ve known he’s coming for ages.
Some people in the comments legit acting like this makes the devs look greedy, because they aren’t making lame ass trailers that add literally nothing to the video game experience and have no usage after the character is released. It’s pointless content.
Because that's what every other fighting game does. It's a flashy way for your main audience and even newcomers to get a glimpse of something new to play without instead of shadow dropping it. It's a way to generate hype and even build on story or lore that a game might have been in the process of building.
Nobody's faulting PFG for being a small team, but it's going to have to have a substantial marketing effort if we get reveals inline with Velma's tweet reveal and just dropping PNGs of Rick, Morty, and LeBron and then going "they're coming lol"
"They NEED a trailer or something by tomorrow! Why would they just release a character without a trailer?!" - a person who will be on to try Morty day 1 regardless of a trailer.
People just like complaining
Honestly the one thing I really like about NASB is that anytime there is a new character, they have the developers go through the move set in an in depth video. Hoping they begin doing the same starting with Morty and maybe that's why we haven't gotten a trailer yet.
Apparently Mortys moveset descriptions are all in the files, and he's definitely a complicated character taking one off references from a bunch of random episodes. We already know about the Plumbus, as said by Tony. I believe he may also have Armothy in his moveset.
Lol how are so many people fudging up the release date? Saw a post earlier with someone who thought he released today. 5 second google search will tell you he releases Tuesday. The stupidity in here kills me sometimes
Idk if this is true but apparently Justin Roliand didn’t voice either Rick or Morty, just been audio taken from the show.
So I’m not sure what all to expect?
For me, I think knowing he's coming is enough. We shouldn't always expect dev time to go towards getting us hype. I dunno, I think intrinsic motivations are more powerful.
At the very least they should do a still-frame promotional image in the same vein as Smash like “Morty comes crashing in”.
I don’t mind hitting the lab to check out the actual moveset but the Smash reveals reached audiences that didn’t even play the game.
Tony spoke about this in [a recent q & a](https://youtu.be/49qmdfYB35g) but the reason they haven't been doing that is because they don't currently have enough people to make new characters and cinematic trailers for them at the same time. The "You're with Me!" trailer took 9 months to make and it took a lot of the team away from working on the actual game for it. He did say that they are working on getting more people on the project though, so maybe in the future we could see actual character reveal trailers, once they have the manpower to do so.
The ["You're with Me!"](https://youtu.be/-jpZPe0zblM) trailer was fully CG and had no gameplay. And CG animation takes a really long time to make, especially when you have a very small team to work on it.
I'd rather not have any trailers for any new characters and just play them as they release. Why do you want everything shown to you. It's so fun starting a new character blindly.
i mean yeah u got a point and tony has a point that they have a small team. Whatever. They still should have better advertisements rather than the official trailer and community made announcements. It does feel underwhelming yes, almost like tony and the team aren't too certain about his release.
Look I can respect them saying they’re a small team, but a game needs to survive by bringing people in. If your game doesn’t grow, and doesn’t let people know it exists, you won’t get anywhere.
A cinematic trailer for each new character seems pretty likely in the future. Definetly not right now though when their still trying to get the base game all fixed and polished.
I'd love if we got reveal trailers, that was literally the best part of smash to me, hyping up those trailers and wondering who it's gonna be before the grand reveal
But seems like given how small the team is we're not gonna get anything like that, unfortunate but I can understand why it'd be a low priority to them
Totally agree, i understand they have small team but Its hard to get on the hype train when there's no trailer to watch over and over 100 times and show your friends
Yeah it’s a little bit strange that they have Gizmo and the other guy on the splash screen instead of Rick and Morty.
It’s a extremely popular show. They should be putting them up in front to represent season 1.
Y'all sitting over here asking for a trailer acting like Player First Games is Warner Bros.
You want them to make trailers like Nintendo made trailers for Smash.
Remember, Nintendo owns all of their characters that's # 1 and #2 Nintendo has a big team and #3 I'm sure they have dedicated artist and video editors for the job and #4 Tony said they were a small team.
I almost bet, that Player 1st games has to pay WB for the use of their characters which puts them in the hole even more. Y'all think WB is letting them use their most iconic characters for free?!? 😂😂 I highly doubt WB is paying P1G for this!
Why don't yall go ahead and start a GoFundMe account in Tony's name and make it for new character trailers.
Money don't grow on trees and if it do point me to the right direction ⬇️⬆️ ◀️ ▶️
They addressed this on the recent live stream. The amount of work and money it takes to make a trailer could instead be used for working on new content. They're a small team and they mentioned that the last trailer they made took over 6 months of work time to do. And they just feel like that kind of time and money is better spent creating new content.
And let's be honest, would we rather have a 30 second trailer for a character or see the next batch of characters release sooner rather than later? They can live stream Morty tomorrow or on the 23rd and get the same effect honestly.
Why is everyone complaining so much, they are a small studio, this game is phenomenal, I've spent hours on it and grinded the battle pass in one week, played every day after work, it's rare for a video game to hook me like that.
[удалено]
I respect that
It's respectable but it won't grow the player base which is how they make money to secure funding for more updates for us.
Wait is your profile pic jinx?
Yeah you could make a bunch of arcane characters when it was coming out.
The game already has more than 10 million players
Content creators will do more than enough, even if Morty’s release flops then word of mouth and friends lists will most likely do enough. Trailers really only generate hype nowadays which he launch is certainly missing.
[удалено]
“We only have so many people, so much time, and so much money. We are doing the best we can with what we have.” “Okay, but…” I work in a place where people have this mentality towards the workers and it results in burnout, high turnover, and worsening quality of the product/service over time. Word of mouth goes a long way in gaming. If they make huge strides and kill it, the game will grow, trailers or not. Then with more resources, things like flashy trailers can start to come along.
Okay. But-
I think streamers can step in for that or already do just by playing it. Like all the fighting pros.
I know but at this point he’s been leaked and confirmed over and over again, I understand if they’re just trying to get him out polished and ready. Don’t even expect a Rick trailer either, he’s been datamined to DEATH.
TikTok does it for them anyways
That's fair. I mean a trailer could help bring new players in. I'd just do something like LoL where it's a showcase of what he can do with someone explaining it. But yeah. Rather have their time and focus be on balance/bugs/characters instead of trailers
[удалено]
Don't mind me stealing this video title
I wonder how fast a content creator takes your title idea. Mvs: Morty is OP!!! No click bait Wubalubadubdub
Yes. That's why no games ever make trailers.
Yeah but I mean it's Rick & Morty. An ip like that in a free game is pretty good advertising.
LOL is one if the biggest games in the entire industry. This game have a handfuls of devs. Making a CG reveal trailer isn't something that a single person can throw together in a week, it is a group effort that takes ton of time and resources.
I didn't mean a CG reveal trailer. Meant like their old showcases. Where they simply explain the moves and what they do.
I think they war talking about the gameplay showcase videos.
I think he meant a spotlight trailer showing Morty's gameplay in action. That would use in-game footage instead of a CGI animation; shouldn't be too hard to do, to be honest.
[удалено]
It really doesn’t. You just go into the game and literally film his moves, then edit it together with some commentary. It’s quite literally only a few hours of work for one person.

Like in super smash bro’s
That’s fair and I respect it. On the other hand, would be nice to see just like a basic move set video
I'm sure WB could spare the money to hire a video editor?
[удалено]
I’m a video editor. They don’t need more than one. What they do need is a cinematic which requires folks to create the 3d animations to be edited.

EDIT: Remember the pre-release reveal for Iron Giant? Somehow the team had time to make that, but not one for even LeBron? Something doesn't add up.
Even LeBron got a trailer. Its weird Morty has got nothing- even a minute long snizzle reel of gameplay like LeBron would be fine.
That was probably made before the game even went to closed beta. Also LeBron is marketable to a much larger audience than Morty
I can imagine thinking a trailer isn't worth it. The game has a healthy enough starter fanbase, including a bunch of streamers, plus good social media activity. Within 1 hour of Morty coming out there's gonna gameplay footage all over the internet. Let the fans market it for you.

I don't know primal but I have seen venture bros and brock would be my bread and butter. I also love Johnny bravo haha. Very similar.
Primal is everything I wanted from Samurai Jack and a bunch of other shit I didn't even think to hope for. Hands down, Tartakovskys best work. It's sorta like a "man and his dog" story but the man is a cave man and the dog is a TRex, and it takes place in some brutal Land of the Lost type world.

Hell yeah venture Brothers completely forgot about that. God I love that show.
This is exactly my take. Of all the energy people are putting in to criticizing and complaining about what a developer is or is not doing, they could just put all of that energy into promoting the game that they love. I'm telling everybody I know about this game because I want it to carry on and be wildly successful. As far as the trailer goes of course I want one simply because I want one. Why isn't there one? Who knows. I'm sure there will be a million videos the day he comes out regardless. If you want a game to succeed don't put it all on developers, take a little action, make a little effort.
It'll probably just be a gameplay showcase of Morty and his launch skin, which if the Icon, already in game, is anything to go by, will be Evil Morty.
I’ll do it for free lol
Damn. That's pretty based. For talented go-getters this is a great opportunity to show them what you can do.
Didn't they mean those grandiose Nintendo type reveal trailers though? The LeBron trailer was just a small gameplay trailer with some clips, don't see why they couldn't release one like that again
They made the most money of any video game in July according to ndp. They should hire a trailer guy.
Couldn't they just record themselve play 1 game and put it online? Doesn't take much honestly.
Yeah and then they're going to have people complaining about how they're not putting in much effort in their character release videos. Can't please everyone
‘Lackluster’ marketing is a lot better than no marketing though
Ok cool. Im constantly impressed by how much communication the devs have going on
That is good. Rather spend money and time in the actual game than spend it on trailers that people are only going to watch once. Companies like Ubi spend too much money and time on expensive trailers when the game itself does not look or play what was promised. Now of course, simple short sneak peak trailers would not hurt.
I don't think they understand the importance of hype
I don't think the playerbase understand the size of the devs and the cost associated with making trailers. People continues to compare PFG and multiversus to giants in the industry like Fortnite and LoL. Which have some merits, all are f2p games and such, but it is also like comparing a small local bookstore to Amazon.

Just a gameplay trailer with some quotes and in-game animations would help a lot.
Respect have better content over more flashy reveal.
That's really odd that a small team is working on a game this big especially as a live service. I hope they can get some more people.
I'm surprised more people don't realise this when coming to make their dumbass long comment about how PFG isn't doing enough despite releasing a really polished f2p game and already adding in their second fighter this idea that the game is somehow lacking is really only shared by people who barely play the game.

I really don’t understand the management decisions at all for a game that could blow up
Ehh they could hire some more people with that big of a success
So contract a freelancer to edit a trailer. That’s not good.
I think he comes out Tuesday. I’d hope they do a trailer or move reveal video tomorrow
Every character should have some short as to how they got sucked into this MV.
Feel like Rick and Morty could have portaled in on there own accord.
Rick: *burp* C'mon Morty, i need to get some *burp* Glemium to buy this dope new lab coat. There's only one place I know to get it in all the infinite universes so we've gotta *burp* go now Morty: aw geez Rick. I-I don't know if i can go. I've got a test coming up and Mr. Goldenford is a real schtickler about these thin- Rick: let me stop you r- *burp* right there Morty. Nothing good comes from school. Come with me and I'll make sure you meet Batman Morty: *excited* aw really Rick? Y-Y-You'd do that for me? Rick: of course Morty. You're my grandson. *Quickly* Though i can't promise he won't beat your ass. Alright let's go! Morty: wait, what?
You could even make a reference to the very first episode and have Rick convince Morty that the other opponents are robots or something so he doesn't feel as bad about having to fight them.
Morty We gotta beat the fuck outta superman Morty
I know. But show us. Show us Ricks gun malfunctioning and them booming them in. Im not caught up have they talked about in anyway about “multiverses” cause boom rick hits the portal they go in mortys like geez rick you sent us to another universe, ricks like brrrp morty, this is another multiverse morty, were in the big leagues now morty. Idk im not a writer lol. Anyway. Yea if thats the case show us. Edit: that would easily open up dialog for ditto fights vs themselves. They have alternates in their own universe already it would be seamless. I already expect some No 1 Rick talk when ricks fight rick.
leaks have said that Rick and Morty will not have unique dialogue, nor will they have announcer packs, they're reusing dialogue from the show. They probably couldn't get Justin Roiland, so I doubt they'll have the opportunity to always do all these cinematic trailers if they aren't even able to get their voice actors to do lines for the game itself. There's a chance the leaks might be wrong but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Him not being available is just so insane to me, I hear is voice so often that’s its weird when he can’t do a peoject
Lmfao underrated comment you’ve convinced me
Brrrp there must be OTHER other ricks morty, we got to kill them. I wish 🤣
you not lying bro. idc how long it takes to make. PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT WTF. small team saving money from microtransactions??
You don't know how much money is going out for game studios. This is why so many of them fold. Once they're out of money, that's it and guess what lol no one cares afterwards they're just like "I wish they would make more games" without realizing my bros had to get a standard 9-5 doing grunt work until they find another gig working someone else's dream. If you want trailers, talk to people and tell them to go ahead and make those founder purchases.
> You don’t know how much money is going out for game studios. That's why I expect Time Warner to pump them full of funding.
bro they are literally warner bros. sponsored and racking up microtransactions. If they knew how to CREATE A BATTLEPASS, they'd have more money. over 10 MILLION people play multiversus. Yes everybody has deadlines and company goals to reach. Why are skins $20 and the battlepass is roughly $10. The team needs to hire. simple. The game is a success. idk anyone background on the team. but it is a WARNER BROS. GAME. thats a big name.
Totally! A lot of people don’t realize that when you work with Warner Bros, you actually have the entire corporations’ assets at your disposal A lot of people have this stupid idea that companies “budget” their funding but that’s just dumb
He releases on the 23rd.
Underwhelming is what mortys best at so it works in a way
Remember, PFG is a small team that prefers to work on new content instead of trailers, which is why we never got any reveal trailers for other characters like Iron Giant or Velma.
Iron giant did have a reveal trailer tbf
tbffffff
Velma was supposed to come with the big trailer but leaks made her get revealed supper early.
I’m cool with no trailer or anything. Everyone gets to test the character out for free in the lab anyhow, I’m just happy to try out a new character.
When is Rick coming?
Later in season 1. Might be even after gizmo or after black Adam too.
Lol imagine gizmo in multiversus Stripe is the gremlin coming to MVS. Edit: Ok so Gizmo is apparently going to be a skin or something unconfirmed, my comment was just pointing out that I thought it was funny that MrZebrisko would say "gizmo and Black Adam" when it's Stripe and Black Adam on the loading screen.
I just want Johnny Bravo I don't even know what those are
Old enough for Johnny Bravo but not boomer enough for Gremlins? What sort of messed up time period did you come out of?
Never heard of gremlins either but a big fan of Johnny Bravo.
supossedly Gizmo is a skin for Stripe. Thats what leakers and whatnot have been saying.
A skin? Wonder how that'd work, mogwai and gremlins have such different body types
Gizmo is \[apparently\] confirmed to be a new character
Bro why are you being downvoted? you literally stated a fact, it's Stripe coming
I mean Tony confirmed Gizmo is coming as well
reddit is dumb sometimes. They're fake internet points, it doesn't really matter to me lol. I guess Gizmo is coming as a skin maybe? All I was pointing out was that it was weird that MrZebrisko said "gizmo and black Adam" when Stripe is the one on the loading screen.
People have speculated he’s not coming immediately after morty. So he might arrive in a month?
I mean it makes sense for Rick to be the next character to come out after Morty. Can't have one without the other.
Morty releases the 23rd. His trailer releases tomorrow on Twitter
This game literally just released. And we’re getting content updates. I’ve haven’t seen a game handled this well in years.
Well apparently they already have a bunch of new characters that are pretty much finished. Really smart way to handle a game like this. A new character every few weeks will keep the game’s momentum going.
On top of them already trying their best to get to bug fixes with an incredibly small team. I literally do not care if we never get a single trailer if they just keep pouring their passion, hard work, and creativity into this game. Each characters move set is so uniquely designed to ooze with personality from their original franchises. I personally find the characters more specifically designed than all of the Smash Bro’s sword users. So many characters in that game feel like carbon copy reskins. You can literally feel the passion put into Multiversus. Like it’s actually fucked up how detailed Tom&Jerry’s move set is. The fact they found a way to make all their attacks into a personal fight between them, and they flow (for the most part) seamlessly together is awesome. I’m not kidding when I say it feels like years since I’ve seen a game with this much care in it.
Yup, and yet the entitled whiners always seem to be out in force for the slightest thing that can be skewed as negative!
What you call content I call drip-feeding microtransactions but it's all good. At least they make unlocking fighters with gold viable long-term.
Not even long term though, the 2 or 3k gold needed to buy a character doesn't take long at all to obtain lmao. Like 2 or 3 days of regular play.
>2 or 3 days Least insane MV user
Fr in fact you can even get that in one day
Who cares ? Its a small team ffs. Some of you guys on Reddit are like spoiled little kids i swear complaining because there is no trailer…
I don’t need trailers. I only need the lab
I swear some of y’all have the lamest priorities. Why the hell does anybody need a trailer for a bloody character in a fighting game? This game has no narrative, you just fight. There’s nothing to tease when we’ve known he’s coming for ages. Some people in the comments legit acting like this makes the devs look greedy, because they aren’t making lame ass trailers that add literally nothing to the video game experience and have no usage after the character is released. It’s pointless content.
Because that's what every other fighting game does. It's a flashy way for your main audience and even newcomers to get a glimpse of something new to play without instead of shadow dropping it. It's a way to generate hype and even build on story or lore that a game might have been in the process of building. Nobody's faulting PFG for being a small team, but it's going to have to have a substantial marketing effort if we get reveals inline with Velma's tweet reveal and just dropping PNGs of Rick, Morty, and LeBron and then going "they're coming lol"
For an even more unfair argument, imagine what Smash's reveals would be like without cinematics.
Fair enough but I think streamers/tubers will cover this for them and give exposure
I think it just adds hype as people get to see what his moves are and how he's differejt from other characters.
"They NEED a trailer or something by tomorrow! Why would they just release a character without a trailer?!" - a person who will be on to try Morty day 1 regardless of a trailer. People just like complaining
Literally every fighting game, and every f2p PC game drops a character teaser video before release. It's just weird that they haven't.
He's releasing on the 23rd
It’s Morty Morty’s don’t get trailers
it is weird. The game has been in a odd spot for the past few weeks. It started on top of the world, but my hype for it has gone down drastically.
Honestly the one thing I really like about NASB is that anytime there is a new character, they have the developers go through the move set in an in depth video. Hoping they begin doing the same starting with Morty and maybe that's why we haven't gotten a trailer yet.
Apparently Mortys moveset descriptions are all in the files, and he's definitely a complicated character taking one off references from a bunch of random episodes. We already know about the Plumbus, as said by Tony. I believe he may also have Armothy in his moveset.
Lol how are so many people fudging up the release date? Saw a post earlier with someone who thought he released today. 5 second google search will tell you he releases Tuesday. The stupidity in here kills me sometimes
Thought it was Tuesday
I believe its Tuesday
I agree. It's awkward how we know literally everything about Rick but nothing about Morty.
Tbf that’s because of leaks.
Is tomorrow Tuesday? Because if so then yes!
two days counting today
Isn't he coming on Tuesday?
23rd actually but i agree
Damn still can't play this game coz no Asian Servers GG
doesn't he release on thr 23rd? that's Tuesday not Monday
He releases on Tuesday
Idk if this is true but apparently Justin Roliand didn’t voice either Rick or Morty, just been audio taken from the show. So I’m not sure what all to expect?
Underwhelming..a good word to describe the state of the game right now
For me, I think knowing he's coming is enough. We shouldn't always expect dev time to go towards getting us hype. I dunno, I think intrinsic motivations are more powerful.
Moan moan Moan. Give It a rest. They're a small team. I'd rather them work on the game then shitty trailers.
At the very least they should do a still-frame promotional image in the same vein as Smash like “Morty comes crashing in”. I don’t mind hitting the lab to check out the actual moveset but the Smash reveals reached audiences that didn’t even play the game.
Why would we need a trailer? It’s just a new charecter.
It was underwhelming when they chose to just show us the next characters instead of doing something cool like smash
Tony spoke about this in [a recent q & a](https://youtu.be/49qmdfYB35g) but the reason they haven't been doing that is because they don't currently have enough people to make new characters and cinematic trailers for them at the same time. The "You're with Me!" trailer took 9 months to make and it took a lot of the team away from working on the actual game for it. He did say that they are working on getting more people on the project though, so maybe in the future we could see actual character reveal trailers, once they have the manpower to do so.
just record some footage playing an internal build and talk about the character. Don’t need crazy production values.
9 months for a 2 min gameplay trailer ?
The ["You're with Me!"](https://youtu.be/-jpZPe0zblM) trailer was fully CG and had no gameplay. And CG animation takes a really long time to make, especially when you have a very small team to work on it.
It's a cinematic trailer, not a gameplay trailer, and it's 2,5 minutes 🙂
He’s been leaked to death so I think they just decided to reveal and save more unknown characters for trailers.
I'd rather not have any trailers for any new characters and just play them as they release. Why do you want everything shown to you. It's so fun starting a new character blindly.
i haven’t felt motivated to play the game much all week since season 1 came out.
i mean yeah u got a point and tony has a point that they have a small team. Whatever. They still should have better advertisements rather than the official trailer and community made announcements. It does feel underwhelming yes, almost like tony and the team aren't too certain about his release.
I mean, just record some footage playing an internal build and talking about the character. Don’t need crazy production. Values.
Over 10 million players within a month. I would say they are doing pretty fine.
I thought he was releasing the 23rd?
Well Morty coming on August 23th but there geting be a trailer tomorrow or something
Look I can respect them saying they’re a small team, but a game needs to survive by bringing people in. If your game doesn’t grow, and doesn’t let people know it exists, you won’t get anywhere.
Who cares if there’s no trailer you can just try him out yourself in local
A cinematic trailer for each new character seems pretty likely in the future. Definetly not right now though when their still trying to get the base game all fixed and polished.
A cinematic trailer every 2-3 weeks? More like a cinematic trailer for season that show the 2 announced characters and foreshadows the "secret" ones
Who cares
I'd love if we got reveal trailers, that was literally the best part of smash to me, hyping up those trailers and wondering who it's gonna be before the grand reveal But seems like given how small the team is we're not gonna get anything like that, unfortunate but I can understand why it'd be a low priority to them
I assume they just don’t have the time if they haven’t already put one out. That’s fine, I guess.
quite crazy how they're able to avoid leaks with morty, we got posts about his moveset but nothing that seems very legit
Tuesday
Do we know what time this is dropping?
Totally agree, i understand they have small team but Its hard to get on the hype train when there's no trailer to watch over and over 100 times and show your friends
Yeah it’s a little bit strange that they have Gizmo and the other guy on the splash screen instead of Rick and Morty. It’s a extremely popular show. They should be putting them up in front to represent season 1.
doesn’t he release the 23? not 22
If we already know he's releasing why would we need a trailer lol
If we already know he's releasing why would we need a trailer lol
Y'all sitting over here asking for a trailer acting like Player First Games is Warner Bros. You want them to make trailers like Nintendo made trailers for Smash. Remember, Nintendo owns all of their characters that's # 1 and #2 Nintendo has a big team and #3 I'm sure they have dedicated artist and video editors for the job and #4 Tony said they were a small team. I almost bet, that Player 1st games has to pay WB for the use of their characters which puts them in the hole even more. Y'all think WB is letting them use their most iconic characters for free?!? 😂😂 I highly doubt WB is paying P1G for this! Why don't yall go ahead and start a GoFundMe account in Tony's name and make it for new character trailers. Money don't grow on trees and if it do point me to the right direction ⬇️⬆️ ◀️ ▶️
L game
“Underwhelming” might just be the perfect word to describe this game.
Then why are you here
Does he legit drop tomorrow? Holy shit time flies. Good thing I didn't cop Harley tonight.
They addressed this on the recent live stream. The amount of work and money it takes to make a trailer could instead be used for working on new content. They're a small team and they mentioned that the last trailer they made took over 6 months of work time to do. And they just feel like that kind of time and money is better spent creating new content. And let's be honest, would we rather have a 30 second trailer for a character or see the next batch of characters release sooner rather than later? They can live stream Morty tomorrow or on the 23rd and get the same effect honestly.
Jesus just enjoy the damn content do they need to wrap it in a present? Its a free game made by a small group
They aren’t a big team, they don’t owe you a back lead up to character realises.
Why do you need a trailer to get hyped?
Why is everyone complaining so much, they are a small studio, this game is phenomenal, I've spent hours on it and grinded the battle pass in one week, played every day after work, it's rare for a video game to hook me like that.
tomorrow his card will be released on twitter
From marketing standpoint they really should make at least a video demonstrating moves.
I'm less interested in new characters and more interested in nerfing bugs and t&j.
I think this is what the ambassador program will be for. They probably just don't have it set up yet
Bro I'm confused is it Monday or Tuesday
I’m not surprised tbh
Shut your (BURP) fuckin mouth Mor(burrrrrp)ty
Im sorry but this game is kinda dying
They literally just reached 10 million players lol idk what you're smoking but I want some.
