The skill ceiling and evolution of this game is insane. Seeing people do basic earthbending at first and then watching the community evolve towards *FLIGHT* is actually insane. This game is goated with so many little techniques or combinations that it’s truly a unique experience.

It's worth noting that the game is still in Early Access, so it makes sense to keep it PC exclusive until they finish the game. People playing it right now are, essentially, beta testers. If they launch the game on Quest right now, there's a risk of it flopping (or at least, the devs likely perceive that), because the game isn't where they want it to be yet. The Quest audience is huge, so they want to have the best launch on Quest possible. If it flounders on Steam, it's not like there were more than about 4 million possible sales there to begin with, while on Quest, there's >20 million. So I think you'll just need to be patient. When the release version comes out, I'm sure it'll hit Quest shortly thereafter, and you'll see the player count explode.

Some people may have commented essentially this, but I'll drop my two cents really quick. As someone who's played Rumble a lot (450 hours), the biggest problem with the game is definitely the progression and the content, not the lack of a Quest version or player base. As is, the game essentially ends once you hit black belt, other than extrinsic rewards. For some, getting better and training will keep them going, but for many the lack of actual content will, and has, turned them off. This wouldnt change if a quest port dropped today. It makes more sense, in my opinion, to update the game, and get it to the point that it's better at retaining players than to hard focus on a quest port, release it, and end up with half or more of those new players leaving after they get black belt (essentially the game's end state currently). We've had surges in the player base in Rumble before, and they’ve followed the trend of a few days or a week of a ton more players and then back to 15 people online. Id hate for the quest version to essentially become the same story if it was released too soon, before the game feels more complete for a large portion of players

I believe a cool shiftstone would be being able to combine different objects together, for example, an object that’s similar to eachother, like 2 cubes, could then be combined to create a pillar, as an example.

Even though the player base may be smaller than the game deserves, this is one of the best communities I’ve seen so far. Every game I’ve been in with a black belt (I’m yellow rn) and I’ve been messing up my moves, they would always take the time and help me get better, and show me different combos I didn’t know existed.

​@demonz9065 I agree to an extent. But waiting 5 minutes for a match isn't long for starting stages or the middle stages when you're building up the movements and practicing execution. And in the end, if you're trying to get good, you'll likely need to sink more time into solo training rather than fighting other people. Most sports are like this and I understand how it can be frustrating to a gamer but a 5 or even 10 minute wait in between matches is honestly a little short. Put in gaming terms the skill floor is very high and so playing against other people is closer to a break between practicing sessions rather than a learning opportunity.

So glad this incredible game is getting the recognition is deserves!

You get xp for winning or losing. You get the moves way faster than you think. You can get max level in about 30 matches or 70ish is you NEVER win. The quest can't handle this game currently, but it's not because of the graphics. Its literally everything else that was programmed before the quest was even a thing. It was made for pcvr because that's what people played at the time. The time between matches is the perfect time to practice and I never have to wait more than a couple minutes if that to find a match in the US east server. I make some tutorials for RUMBLE. This game is VR done right! This game feels SO good, and it's definitely been my favourite since its release! Thanks for bringing it to more peoples attention👍

From what I can find it uses Unity just like a lot of other standalone VR games do. The quest 3 and even 2 should be able to handle this game. I feel like saying it can't is just spreading misinformation. Unless you have actual evidence this really isn't helpful. The hardest thing for the quest would probably be the physics and not how it's programmed and if it is the programming it'd be something the devs would need to fix in C#. The are many standalone VR games made with Unity that uses C# so I can't understand why you're saying that it's how it was programmed like devs can't ever change the programming in their own game.

@@sdrawkcabmiay I'm mostly going off of the wording of "The quest can't handle this game currently" not that it doesn't run on the quest. I understand that part. If it's the first quest headset then I could understand why it wouldn't work but you haven't even said what quest headset it was tested on. Are you saying it wouldn't even run on the quest 3? Also as I just said my main issue was you saying "The quest can't handle this game currently" and that sounds to me like you're saying that the quest can't handle it rather than the game hasn't been optimised for the quest yet. It's definitely within the realm of optimisation for something like the quest 3 and maybe the quest 2 but I'm a bit more sceptical about that one. All ports take time and aren't instant so that entire flipping off of a roof thing was just weird to bring up. No one was talking about making the game instantly appear on quest or anything and that's why I said it'd take time. Also yes people do talk about capabilities like that in real life but not to the extent of flipping off of a roof. People set goals for themselves all the time and work towards them so don't go off topic randomly. "The quest can't handle this game currently" isn't the same as "It DOES NOT run on quest" currently(felt like I should add the currently at the end). Most games would struggle on quest if there wasn't enough optimisation done during the porting process and this is why it takes time. I was never demanding it to be done right away nor am I saying that it needs to come to quest at all. These are decisions for the devs to make. All I want to do was make sure people don't get confused due to your comment saying that the quest couldn't handle it.

Will totally try this when it and if it hits the Quest store. If looks like such an ideal VR game.

Quest development gets considerably more difficult even when the game is already fairly simple graphically. Content development on games from smaller studios (A Township Tale comes immediately to mind) slows down drastically as more time needs to be put into optimizations for the game to run smoothly on the hardware. While it would be great for the game to come to quest asap, it’s probably for the better that Rumble stays on PC for now while they develop features they believe will be more valuable to the core experience of the game before digging into the beast that is Quest development.

Awesome video man

This game looks so good! I wish I was more into VR or else I would buy it! It would be dope if they added other bending like water air and fire

I want a waterbending game so bad

WE NEED A WATER BENDING GAME

Awesome Now where's the full Avatar game where you can pick one of the four elements? I want firebending vr pvp

If this ever gets added to the quest I’ll be buying it straight away

Rumble exclusively is not the problem of rumble. And by adding it in quest store you wont solve the problem THE problem of small player count - that usual player will immediately drop the game because of frustration, after trying to summon disc for 20 minutes in tutorial zone

I 100% Agree and I am totally commenting so the rumble devs see this too.

Shoeless just released another video by the way making like at least 20 more moves using a move that was thought to be useless called 'flick'.

I love this game for what it is. I really hope the devs see this video and comments. This game needs to be on quest!!!

Yo i recently got rumble myself and i have no issue playing it with steam link for my quest 3, it runs really smoothly if your pc is dedicated to just rumble

I've been looking at this game since 2022 and I REALLY want to get it, but I REALLY didn't want to play through PCVR even though I could. I completely agree with you on this video. It would be amazing to see all four elements from avatar the last airbender.

They so badly need to release this game on the oculus quest

To comment on the issue of player count, a few days after this video came out rumble actually broke its concurrent player record, which should hopefully give it some good momentum. They are adding the new tutorial and customization to pave the way for a quest release. Opening a game up to a much larger audience like that also brings a lot more scrutiny. Especially with the much more casual nature of quest, if you want quest players to actually stick around you need to have a good onboarding experience first. And to comment on virtual desktop/link cable stuff, I suggest trying out the new Steam Link update. It's now a native app in the meta store, and it is night and day compared to VD when it comes to latency. Idk what black magic Valve did, but you can barely notice that you're playing wirelessly. I will mention that I have some audio issues with it, but it's still worth it imo. With that said, I still can't wait for a quest release and I hope it comes soon after the next update

They did an interview with one of the devs, it seems like they have a really small team and are focusing on creating new content, but they did say that bringing rumble to quest will eventually happen. There is also the fact that they don't actually have servers or anything It might be a few years before the game it out of early access

This game is perfect for VR, I hope devs get the support they need to be able to release a quest version. It has insane community potential. Ratings, tournaments, challenges, awards, skins. If modding gets allowed - think landscapes, different stage designs, materials. With solid networking - team events. If they get the right licensing - maybe things can evolve beyond earth bending. With sophisticated enough physics the possibilities go exponential - think interactions between benders of different disciplines (a flaming rock? lava projectiles?) in a team match. Hope we get there some day.

There's a more underlying issue than the low player count. It's the fact that the servers are exclusively pier to pier. This means computers are connecting directly to each other, so whoever's computer is doing all the physics calculation (the host) has a huge ping advantage on the other person. This means that if you aren't the host all your moves will be significantly delayed, meaning you're disadvantaged from the beginning of the fight.

@@sdrawkcabmiay 🤓☝ The focus of my comment was that the underlying issue is one person has a definite ping advantage which makes the game biased to let them win unless there's a significant skill gap. Many new players will stop playing because their moves stop being responsive during a real match. Significantly delayed doesn't need to mean seconds of delay when you're talking about a real time pose based fighting game. I have good wifi, live next to a major server center, and have a good pc. Even I will run into high ping matches with *significant* delay every ~4 games I'm not host. It is a real issue that deters many new players, thus lowering player counts

Just add feet tracking and the amount of different things you could do would be insane

Better you focus one plattform and port the finished product, especially when u are a small studio, it sucks to dance on two partys.

Imagine this with a full body tracking update and the other elements. Holy shit, the amount of gestures and how much cooler it would be to earthbend. Because in earthbending you see a lot of feet movement as well. It would just be insanely cool lol

1:10 gorilla tag one handed while staying alive in a comp lobby

For a game on quest that you can earth bend in, and other bending, is magitek Vr. Only thing is it’s single player

This game does indeed deserve better and would sincerely help the devs with funding if it were to be more popular. However the fact it is not that popular yet is probably because it’s on like no vr headsets, last time I checked it was like 2 headsets or something but still none are quests. The fact that quest headsets have a lot more users is why they should add the game to quest headsets, I know they are working on it but I just wish it was a little bit faster yk.

7:09 me jump scare, but it was fun earth bending against you 🌍🪨

I will have to try this game one day. Maybe they will make a quest version once they reach the 1.0 I don't know how many devs are on the team, making multiple versions of a game requires time and people. And even if graphics are simple, the highly physics mecanics might be hard for standalone. If they are ok with the money they get with pc, it's there choise to continue this way.

The Boulder has Conflicted Feelings

I bought it through the Meta store. I'll plug in as long as needed but the moment it goes standalone, I'm ready

Is there a way to get this on Oculus? I’ve been wondering this for a while but nothing comes up when I look for it on the quest shop

Cool new intro (virtual) bro

What’s cool about the inputs is that it requires you not to panic. You have to hold your ground like a real earth bender and not flinch. Perform the move and believe in your bending to defend yourself

They should make a waterbending, firebending and airbending version

Is this game only for a certain type of vr

They need to make games the exact same but fire and water or even air cause that wuold be so cool

I never really had the issue of not many people playing. I also seem to be coming acros people with my own level and even lower. However it indeed does take a minute or so to get into a match at times, which can be a little annoying yeah

once they add other elements im getting it

I also think that adding it to quest would get them a lot more money, allowing them to invest in a server system, which would remove a lot of lag. That makes it sound like I don't like this game, but this is by far my all time favorite game in the universe, I just feel that the devs need to stop feeling bad for the pc players, and instead get more players to actually play their game.

this looks like the type of game I wouldn't play honestly but it still looks good. I once played a magic game beta on the quest that followed the same idea of motion inputs and I could never get it right so I quit after 30 minutes. perfection is impossible for me

I loved this game but ran into the same problem as you. There are downsides to being on quest though. Gorilla tag had an amazing community that got absolutely ruined. I doubt that would happen with this game above a low rank though, gorilla tag has no ranking system soo!
