TL;DR
- The prices for Legendary Skins, with the exception of the ones currently available, will be reduced to 599 Red Star Rings effective February 18th.
- With an update next month, players will have more ways to earn Red Star Rings, as well as more ways to earn skin fragments.
- "Content which is initially only available through specific means (e.g. as part of Premium Season Pass rewards), will become obtainable by other means at a later date via Red Star Ring purchases, Skin Fragments / Omni Fragments. This will be more consistent moving forward (excluding some limited content such as Crossover contents)."
- Further improvements to accessibility.
- NiGHTS crossover confirmed for February 18th.

I better stay in my lane or else Henry gonna beat my ass

fickle sleet
But isn't Blitz gameplay lane-based combat
muted hawk
yes
fickle sleet
So the big update is just to make things cheaper?
W update honestly
They should consider more
tardy coral
The old prices are staying for those skins
It’s new skins from here on that will get the reduction
deep silo
and permanent skins like Percival and whatever else
twilit dune
It’s new skins from here on that will get the reduction
they said older legendary skins will get the reduction at the start of the new season (march 3rd)

I guess they realized everything was too steep for anyone to really consistently spend money on
Though
Isn't this really really late?
fickle sleet
Isn't this really really late?
Might be
Honestly a full reversal might have worked wonders
fickle sleet
Everything becomes cheap and attainable, suddenly massive PR boost
But
The gameplay still has to contend with the fandom
quartz island
They would have to invest a lot into advertising again
Honestly just like
Start adding skins that are correctly proportioned versions of the characters
And slowly ditch the toy gimmick
deep silo
never gonna happen
also those skins are still gonna be 40 dollars instead of, what, 45-60?
That's barely a change if compared to the discounted pricing
twilit dune
Yeah, as I said before that's really what it hinges on
quartz island
Tbh it still seems extremely steep
Probably they calculated in a way where you can get 2 skins now for the price of 1 before
But when that price was $60 to begin with
...
twilit dune
I think it'll be steep no matter what they do
But like, as someone who hasn't spent a dime on the game thus far
I've managed to get 2 or so legendary skins from accumulating red rings and omni fragments from either rumble rankings or miscellaneous challenges like the stage ones
As stingy as it was in distribution, I was still able to get some "higher end" stuff, so allowing more wiggle room in that regard by decreasing prices and increasing distribution of rsr and fragments could be a good thing

2 out of how many?
50-100?
twilit dune
jesus no lmao
but also idk how many there are exactly
oh actually
it seems to be a little over 50
nvm it’s 48 
including crossover chars like monkey ball and godzilla

monkey ball is the best character

Hopefully it is a good thing
twilit dune
monkey ball is the best character
my whisper disagrees
twilit dune
Hopefully it is a good thing
it could be if done right enough
but I can also see it not making enough of a difference
but the price slash itself is big
They mentioned large scale improvements to gameplay modes but I can’t really see how that would be besides UI
maybe desync, it’s especially horrible during city escape team 💀
unique delta
I'm worried the extra ways to get more currency might be too underwhelming
deep silo
oh yeah, another thing they're changing

Rumble Plus doesn't get the additional daily free rolls, everyone just gets 4 a day

Alr that’s pretty sweet
I wonder what benefits rumble plus users will get though to compensate

wow these renders are good

I still have the fuckass Movie 3 icon

god damn it why does it still have shadow
- hes the second most popular sonic character
- doppleganger
ashen knot
it's the only icon with him on it
muted hawk
- aesthetic
muted hawk
no
ashen knot
yes
wheat hollow
it's the only icon with him on it
so all the other games should also have shadow in their icon
ashen knot
no then I would be happy cause I want cosmic zone
knuckles would still be the best character in the game anyway
higher double jump > whatever stupid gimmick shadow would have

Once upon a time, I was a community ambassador for this game
And they apparently had my fanart used in a presentation with corporate regarding community engagement so this is how I can say I was technically involved with an official Crash Bandicoot project so even if it was just another endless runner with dumb MTX, I got noticed

There used to be like 20 sonic games on google play now we're gonna be down to 8
(Until blitz fully releases and not counting speed sim)
And 1 of them is prime dash
So really 7
tardy coral
Yeah Prime Dash is pretty dead
ashen knot
I just meant that it's basically the same game
quartz island
Is this rundown correct?
Cause if so it's legit absurd how they thought anybody would be hardcore invested in buying skins before this update
💀
hallow forge
this game had the worst timing ever, I dont think the idea is bad tho but
considering is competing with stumble guys 😭
it did has good amount of downloads tho
but the question would be how many players it has active, because despite the game having 10m downloads on google play sega still says is underperforming hard, could it be lower than speed battle?
deep silo
Is this rundown correct?
My napkin math says it's correct, yeah
twilit dune
also legendaries are usually 999 by default, but they can go on sale for 729 (usually when they first appear I think)
twilit dune
if you’d be getting one after the update after it’s lowered to 599
it’d be about, 39 usd?
twilit dune
Yeah, which means you’d have to buy different packs if you want to get that amount
Which is what I had in mind
$20 for the 330, $10 for 160, $5 for 78, and $4 if you get the 30 twice
So that leaves you with 628 rsr for $39, not an exact amount but that’s the closest you’ll get
Which isn’t a 5 dollar difference between updates, it’s more of an 26 dollar one
tardy coral
This is so fucked up
shell walrus
So how long until we hear about production being shut down completely

Pretty much, but you need to have it on screen
You do not. I thought this at first, but simply having it on the background works

I think in terms of overall fandom hierarchy she’s still relatively up there in comparison. not as high as these three but still pretty known
dense anchor
I think in terms of overall fandom hierarchy she’s still relatively up there in ...
absolutely, I agree
shell walrus
Regardless this does bode pretty well for IDW characters in this game in general if they’re willing to put her in Rumble
dense anchor
in general, yes, I would say it does bode well especially for those mentioned by Tangle in the latest Tailstube
I would like more villains so... Kit
who also had some form of merch with the exclusive monogram keychains along with Surge
sinful ivy
I really want the Scrapnik’s in a game
dense anchor
the rest... idk, Clutch does not like like playable material, same for Jewel and Belle, as for other villains I doubt it, Rough and Tumble... ew, Starline and Mimic I would rule out because of you-know-what-spoilers
dense anchor
well in the meantime, Clutch and R&T are in the DC crossover comic
I particularly love Clutch, def more than Mimic too, it's such a different type of antagonist that we never had in Sonic
shell walrus
If I had to guess what IDW cast member is most likely to show up after Lanolin, I think Kit, Belle and Jewel are probably the most likely candidates at the moment as they have the closest associations with the characters who are already present (Kit with Surge, Jewel with Diamond Cutters, Belle with the eggfam)
I think it’d be cute if they introduced kit and chaos at the same time since they’re both water based

I can’t even lie they kinda cooked

And not really addressing the pricing on RSR
Like aside from that the QOL updates are kinda goated

Oh I forgot to watch it cuz I got my Switch 2 Pro Controller earlier than I thought lmao
wheat hollow
a lot of these changes do sound like they're for the best but i think with how abysmal the lead up to rumble's launch was and the immediate disappointment at $50 skins after at best this is just a bandaid for a game that is probably gonna die in a year or two
still not really sure why they're so hesitant to just throw it on consoles and get a bigger audience but oh well

rumble was primarily a mobile game, I feel like if they’re not able to net a strong audience there then they’re not gonna net a strong audience anywhere

“was” so it’s already dead huh 🥀
shell walrus
It really was Runners’ second coming
twilit dune
reminds me what i was gonna say though
The improvements are good in theory
But that isn’t enough to really get people back on besides people who were already playing to begin with
So a crossover to go with that IS the right decision
…Smurfs.
Nobody is picking this game up again for that 😭
shell walrus
like okay if I have a game console and my options are sonic rumble or sonic racing crossworlds I think anybody would be crazy for choosing the former unless they were in insane debt
twilit dune
Why they didn’t mention lanolin at all baffles me
That’s easy points
would get people to play just get her like with surge, tangle and whisper

I think the T&W announcement was the most attention the game had gotten on Twitter in a while

i think they are my least favorite cartoon media of all time

like okay if I have a game console and my options are sonic rumble or sonic raci...
I think if they had a console and had a choice between the two, they'd still just pick fortnite lmao

rest in peace my rumble they were hit by a bazooka 😪

anyway I watched the vid and yeah, it's kind of what I expected - the QoL that's nice on paper, but don't actually do much for the game because of the core game being what it is
shell walrus
I have to imagine this crossover is mainly aimed towards diehards or kids who woudlve watched the new cartoon

I got the feeling that they slapped this together pretty quickly
It’s literally a slideshow for the most part and they didn’t have much to show
twilit dune
Ok speaking of
who
the FUCK
Recorded that footage
It looks awful, rumble on my laptop looks better than that
wheat hollow
Because that costs money that the return isn't justifying
i can think of something else sonic rumble related that cost money that wasn’t justified by the return
i don’t think they have much room to be picky

maybe if rovio knew how to make good games that aren't sonic

with them adding these quicker matches
please
let me choose to not use my point doublers
I don't want to waste them on single matches

I'm not sure if this game will really live
If anything they'll plug it off next year

add tikal and it will succeed

I think if they don’t turn things around soon I don’t think it’ll make it to the end of this year

I still think this game at the wrong time possible

god, I've only just clocked
they've done a crossworlds again and not got any music from it haven't they
like behind the actual smurfs themselves the tv show theme is prolly the second most iconic thing from the smurfs

so they've got a smurfs collab where you can't play as an actual normal smurf

well hey this means it isn't a waste to use them on single matches
since they're all gonna be that way

Yeah
also quick rumbles are gone
But that's fine since Party Rumble is pretty much that with different stages
and also it's not limited to max 3
twilit dune
squad rumble's also gone for some reason but we'll see if that's just for early access ig
smurf run stage looks decent though
deep silo
This implies Squad mode is still there

and there's new starter challenges
but people who have already progressed far enough will get their own

hmm
this is pissing me off lmao
did they think it wouldn't be worth it to talk about any of this in that spotlight 💀
ashen knot
nah you get only get 7 minutes

because the update post and velcomia's stream is doing much more to sell me on the update than that did
oh special rumble and amy/eggman challenges are gone

sorry paramount executives looked at this stream and said it would have to be focused on smurfs or else they would complain about it

what even happened in special rumble?

No
They only have the distribution rights of the movies

ngl the Smurfs collab is doing something to me (derogatory)
not by itself, but moreso being more of a tipping point of the thing I've been kind of holding out on
dapper jetty
Sonic selling his ass to everyone ?
deep silo
Yeah
deep silo
It was, that season pass being half-paramount annoyed me to no end
But then there's also that PUBG Mobile collab
Rumble
dapper jetty
I have been very vocal about it too
hallow forge
more like selling their soul to paramount
deep silo
The McLaren collab that did nothing for either of the sides so far
hallow forge
I'd say the pubg one is pretty werid but not the worse one 😭
I still think crossworld dlc are the worst ones when it comes to collabs
dapper jetty
Mclaren is fine cuz that's like from back then n all i don't particularly have a problem with this one
hallow forge
like taking out megaman and pacman
deep silo
I don't know, fighting Skibidi Toilet in that CGI trailer was fucking horrible
shell walrus
The McLaren collab that did nothing for either of the sides so far
That had less to do with brand + brand and more in regards to them trying to bolster the racing aspects of the
year of racing
dapper jetty
It's moreso shit like sponge bob, fucking avatar and the smurfs that are annoying
hallow forge
but pubg is popular game so is not crazy to me
is just like fortnite
is the stuff like
bob toronja
or avatar
or the smurfs
I dont mind when they do collabs with other game franchises
like that one mobile gacha game
or the secret lair cards ig
deep silo
And with all that still sticking to shit they made back in 2008 as a style guide with no clear signs of changes just exaggerates those issues
hallow forge
but seeing sonic and smurfs or sponge or avata or tmnt is so off
shell walrus
eh
hallow forge
like I think the ok ko collab episode was cute because it was a silly thing but seeing these non videogame chars around the games and so is so forced
shell walrus
tmnt and sonic have been cousins in law for the past eight years anyway
hallow forge
like who are they really trying to get
shell walrus
kids
hallow forge
for the smurfs?
dapper jetty
I hate to think like this cuz this is a business and sonic is a brand n all and this is parasocialism... but man the fact that they are selling fucking sonic's ass the the smurfs is like eugh 😭 like man this shit means something to me bro.
deep silo
Kids in the most cynical sense of the word
hallow forge
I've yet to seen anyone that aint 50+ be fan of smurfs ngl
dapper jetty
😭
peak wharf
There were Smurf reruns on boomerang that I used to watch when I was like 9
hallow forge
like if they really want to step up their game they gotta collab with tun tun sahur or something
shell walrus
it’s a very niche audience I won’t lie but kids like kids shows and the CG show did pretty well
hallow forge
idk
deep silo
like if they really want to step up their game they gotta collab with tun tun sa...
see, that shit's even worse because of what it is
The solution ain't "collab with brainrot"
hallow forge
spongebob definetly has really young fans since it airs everyday but idk
like tmnt or avatar are not something kiddos these days are looking for
deep silo
The solution should be having a proper identity for once that's not just "safe kids brand :)"
shell walrus
SpongeBob is Nickelodeon personified they’ll have youngins worshipping at the pineapple altar for the next fifty years
dapper jetty
like if they really want to step up their game they gotta collab with tun tun sa...
This would end this franchise's reputation
dapper jetty
Idk man these old japanese people scare me
peak wharf
Is that actually real
shell walrus
and they’re doing mutant mayhem specifically for tmnt, the most recent iteration of the turtles
dapper jetty
It's sooo lame
hallow forge
Is that actually real
doubt it but since brainrot images are mostly ai they have no copyright
Im pretty sure some fortnite steal a brainrot chars appeared in the finale event too
😭
dapper jetty
Steve, megaman, sure, lf course yeah
hallow forge
and they’re doing mutant mayhem specifically for tmnt, the most recent iteration...
yea
dapper jetty
Sponge bob
hallow forge
mutant mayhem is clearly made for new audiences compared to the previous one

Would you be okay if the rabbids were in the game
peak wharf
Not the ones with unique characteristics but the naked yelling ones
shell walrus
Would you be okay if the rabbids were in the game
I mean they’re video game characters 
hallow forge
is mostly like known cuz they're silly
and due to that 3d movie in 2010 or 2007
I forgor
dapper jetty
Not the ones with unique characteristics but the naked yelling ones
Idk man, prolly not tbh, cuz they're lame

looking forward to the sonic-style live action tmnt reboot
hallow forge
I would like a sonic show
I dont mind if it has jeff fowler working on it ngl
the movies are great just that im getting a lil burned out already
opal talon
like that one mobile gacha game
LAST CLOUDIA Collab was fantastic btw.
I laugh everyday knowing that Sonic was the strongest PVE Unit in that for a good month until he got replaced by Shalltear from OVERLORD.
dense anchor
I was going to get back into Rumble because I'm kind of hooked by the new characters, like IDW characters as well as SEGA collabs, but seeing the Smurfs my interest has decreased again, guess I will wait till the collab is over
stuck wing
ngl
even though the smurf collab is kinda lame, idk, it's whatever compared to a console game
it doesn't help that Rumble is whatever in general, fun and all but it purposely has a safer feel to it which makes me care less whenever they have something like this crossover
the odd crossover bothers me more with like idk Crossworlds
(though Avatar for me is fiiiine, I liked the show so it doesn't bother me all that much, but the fact it's like one of the three paramount things taking up the pass is weird)
dapper jetty
kill me

I'll give em this, mind - the vaguely-legally-distinct music here's a lot better than it is in crossworlds lol

oh her victory pose is really cute

she looks really cute

She admittedly looks really good in this game

Im kinda surprised they also pushing lanolin along side tangle and whisper
muted hawk
lanolin is kinda popular in a way
slow veldt
Kinda, yea
hallow forge
she is but not really like tangle and whisper
hallow forge
and she's also big side char
slow veldt
I wonder if Jewel will be added then
hallow forge
she also has a model in blitz tho
slow veldt
or Belle
hallow forge
wouldnt be surprised if lanolin is a free char in crossworld
unique delta
she also has a model in blitz tho
Ig it helps she already had a model they could use as a base
I heard they did
stuck wing
hopefully Rough & Tumble make it in as well
dapper jetty
lanolin is technically the first idw character that was ever introduced to us
stuck wing
IDW Mecha would be banger too
muted hawk
lanolin is technically the first idw character that was ever introduced to us
kinda wild to think about
dapper jetty
hopefully Rough & Tumble make it in as well
give it to kit before tho, or maybe belle/jewel 😭
muted hawk
she just became a full on character in the urban warfare character
unique delta
hopefully Rough & Tumble make it in as well
These guys better not be making it before Kit
stuck wing
give it to kit before tho, or maybe belle/jewel 😭
I can see Belle getting in if not them
Kit.. maybe he might??
but also it's a bit weird because like, they made a big deal out of them prior to the release of IDW, they've been around since the start
yet they're kinda left on the sidelines in terms of any appearances outside of the comic 😭
not related to IDW but, I wonder if they'd ever make a playable Sage at some point even though she's currently a buddy
muted hawk
probably not
unique delta
I don't see why not
hallow forge
they prolly throwing the ones that can actually work commercially
surge might be next

Why did they call it Rumble Party
There isnt even a chat
Like party should be something where you can play and share with friends
tardy coral
They really wanted to keep Toys Party
muted hawk
I just really dislike this game, the concept, and what it came to be
It is not Bad
But it feels so unremarkable and trying to get that Fall Guys pie
Way too late
This is what annoys me about mobile games
They have plans for money makers, copies of big fads at the moment and they are like we need to do the same
That take too long to develop
And by the point they are done
The fad is gone
And the game gets cancelled or forgotten a little later
tardy coral
Yeah I can’t imagine Rumble will be a Thing in the next 5 years
tardy coral
It’s awfully generous
But idk realistically it’s got another year or two unless they make serious changes
brittle prism
this latest rebranding/shorter rounds restructuring is em trying to give it more push with the casual non-fandom crowd and if that doesn’t work, well
writings on the wall I think lol

Also I don’t think it’s a matter of serious changes to the actual gameplay loop and more like giving an “artificial reason” for people to play the game
muted hawk
Rumble will be known by its music
twilit dune
Like the update notes and the footage we have from it looks and sounds good and all, but the crossover they chose to announce that with was Smurfs
It doesn’t matter how good the gameplay is now that’s inherently going to turn people off
muted hawk
What they have of fun new updates
Like did they tweak the controls
Something like that?
twilit dune
well party rumble is literally just the single round mode the game was missing with a few bells and whistles, they’ve made getting rsr and skin fragments easier, reduced shop prices, and they apparently changed some stuff in the regular mode (that I haven’t seen yet)
and PC users can finally turn off the mobile UI, which is nice
But like
they didn’t elaborate on any of this in the spotlight 🤥
