    Who knew physics-based motion controlled Earth Bending combat would create so much emergent gameplay? VR is the future of fighting games (i still love you Tekken and Street Fighter). All you have to do is look at RUMBLE VR as an example.

Waves to zone and push shit, ice sliding to dash or make areas harder to move across, pillars to gain height or smack someone, icicles to harass or go on full barrage offense, quick freezing or melting as defense AND offense. Water depth could be a boon or problem, rain could intensify the entire thing...

Then you’d have to take that same time to make one game optimized enough to run all the interactions they would have as well as code said interactions of which there were many, and then you’d have to balance them against each other.

    This game is up there with some of the best and most enjoyable PVP VR combat ever. I love melee combat based flatscreen games but its so hard to get that same feeling in VR due to painful netcode, hit reg and Player on Player collision. Rumble managed to tie the complete state of flow that you feel when you master these mechanics from a melee game into VR without completely making it a fucking nightmare of side-ducking, overhead wrist-flicking, movement manipulating and desync riding that other VR melee pvp games suffer from.

      Players that suit MUDs is an explanation of the different types of players that come to a game, how they interact with eachother and the environment, and the kind of systems the game has to have in place to satisfy them all.
      Explorers, Socialisers, Achievers and Griefers.
      World - Player interactions
      ---------------------------------------------
      You need the game world to be functional enough with enough goals and ways of showing achievement to other players for the achievers (leaderboards, legendary items, level systems etc)
      You need the game to have enough methods of communication and character customisation for the socialisers (think tf2 hats and taunts, voice chat, text chat, etc.)
      You need the game to feature PvP of some sort, even full on griefing, if no one can lose anything then trolls wont be interested.
      You need the game to be disfunctional/complex enough for explorers to find quirks, bugs, and exploits and be able to research the mechanics of the game.
      Then the dynamics between the players is more complex and overlapping.
      Player - Player interactions
      --------------------------------------------------
      Explorers find an easy way to get to a late game area that has a good drop rate of a legendary item, achievers grind to get said item, they sell them to socialisers who show them off to eachother, who lose them to griefers.
      A griefer works with an explorer to destroy the home base of a well known socialiser, the socialisers freak out and a group of achievers work together to kill said griefer.
      An achiever works with an explorer to document glitched parts of the game and bring back items that should not exist to show to other explorers for research, some of their findings are extremely valuable to socialisers.
      A socialiser makes a clan that gets its wealth through achievers, they hire griefers to fight other clans, explorers are hires to develop exploits to throw the war in their favour.
      Conclusion
      -----------------------------------------
      You can probably think of MANY games where these dynamics have come from the players and the game world, but its good to note THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GAMES OF ALL TIME SATISFY ALL OF THESE PEOPLE AT ONCE.
      Just think of Minecraft, it is the most popular video game of all time and it perfectly satisfies all of these people all at once, its so obvious once its pointed out.
      By the way for context of when this paper was written
      ----------------------------------------------
      MUDs were very early text based online multiplayer videogames, "Multi User Dungeons" that essentially existed as an ecosystem of qualities and objects hosted on a server.
      ELI5 they were Dwarf Fortress but text only and you could essentially do anything you wanted as long as it fit into the rules of the server (by server i mean it literally functioned like a file server, not like a Minecraft server with an actual game program running on it)

    As Uncle iroh once said "It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale." Jumping is not an earthbender move, that's airbender strategy. But by using lessons from other styles, you can enhance your own strength, enabling you to zoom around the stage by shooting disks while midair, then dropping the boulder you were holding directly onto your opponent's head.
    Edit: and the backstepping to avoid damage, plus theslingshot technique is waterbending at its finest. Using momentum to disarm the attacks your opponents throw at you, and throwing them right back to beat them.

      I was thinking this as well when I was watching the video. Like the one staying still and creating walls and throwing them felt like a classic earthbender, the flying around and the disk back dash, smacking people down with boulders you hold was peak airbender agility and using the environment to evade, with a bit of earthern power, then the clips with people spinning blocks around themselves felt exactly like waterbending. Honestly I love that we could take this as "if people didn't have all the cultural ideals tying them down to a rigid style, bending as a whole would be a lot more evolved. Like whole schools of thought kind of evolved, with people going for a style that fits them, or with a mix.
      I can only imagine what would happen if someone used this engine for a waterbending version it would be absolutely insane what people could discover, especially with water's property of going between solid and liquid.

    So lemme get this straight.
    1. Rumble is a GOAT VR game.
    2. Rumble has a high skill ceiling.
    3. The meta isn't even fully developed yet so...
    4. People can't or don't make videos because they are busy rumbling.
    5. It's a flipping earthbending game, so a good portion of its playerbase are likely fans of ATLA.
    My questions are:
    1. What's a good headset to get into Rumble, given my laptop is a potato from four gens ago and needs external fans to play MINECRAFT.
    2. Why aren't more people playing this game?
    3. Why aren't there more games like this?
    Also g'day from one Australian to another (source: I read the comments and your accent is familiar), seems like i'll be in good hands if/when I pick this game up.

      I'll answer your question with a question. Why aren't you Rumbling already?
      But in seriousness, unfortunately it's PCVR only at the moment, so youd need a compatible PC. They plan to port it to stand alone next year. I wireless stream from my PC to the Quest 2, but hope to get the Quest 3 soon. That answers your second question. PCVR is niche, and so are fighting games, but if you 'get' rumble youll really 'get' it and be addicted like me. Question 3? This game will change the future, but its ahead of the curve for now. Definitely hope to see you in combat mate!

    This is the kind of vr development we need. a heavy polished focus on mechanics, latency and intuitive control. this is what will seperate vr from traditrional gamig. this game and blade and sorcery are leading the way. but blade and sorceries magic would be MUCH better if was implemented like this.
    we need to figure out what works. then put it all together.
    imagine a game with the magic of rumble, the physics and swordplay of blade and sorcery, and the narrative of half life or saints and sinners

    • @ayoo_wassup
      @ayoo_wassup 5 місяців тому +4

      @CrabSpu well of course you don't just slap it together. But my point is depth of design and iterational improvement should be the focus overal instead of producing more and more sandboxes with the same mechanics. And screw buttons. The whole point is to get away from them.
      Hand tracking is probably the future. But vr hasn't REALLY advanced design wise since it's inception because the market is 95% wrapped up in the quest store.
      People are over the novelty. It's time for passion to shine through and great design to make the difference.

    • @ayoo_wassup
      @ayoo_wassup 5 місяців тому +4

    Something I love about Rumble even at low levels gameplay like where I am at you can have so many styles. I like to predetermine my move set before entering a match. So this round I will focus on Boulders, using a boxing type duck, dash and jab style. But then mid match switch to a fully defensive Wall focused style, holding my ground until my opponent makes a mistake.
