OG Planet Betas Continue
By Ravenhawk | July 1, 2007
As of Friday, the Rumble Fighter Open Beta session (Also known as Beta 3) has begun! This means that those of you who didn’t get a chance to check it out during the short Beta 2 session now have a chance to play. This one is going for an unspecified length of time, so I’d assume it’ll be in beta for awhile. Considering Albatross18 is still called beta and its been out for months…
For those of you who missed my earlier postings about rumble fighter, it’s a pretty rad skilled based MMO fighting game. If you took part in beta 2, make sure you log on so you can get your free hurricane pendant!

Rumble Fighter first look
By Ravenhawk | June 7, 2007
So, in my last post about this game my friend told me about, Rumble Fighter, I said it was a sidescrolling fighting game like Street Fighter. This was going off of the description given to me by my friend who was in the first phase of the beta. Turns out I was a little confused.
As of tuesday, Rumble Fighter has entered into a week long open beta phase. And, having been energized by reading up on the website, I decided to download it myself and play. Turns out its 3D, so it’s a little better comparable to Soul Caliber than Street Fighter. Right now the game seems to be a bit buggy, and the games aren’t starting when there are a lot of people in them, but things like this are rather expected in a beta game.
It is definitely a skill based game. This should go without saying, being a fighting game, but you never know with the online types. I did the tutorials and they were straight forward enough. Then I did the survival mode, which basically consists of fighting a gradually growing number of npcs. Then I moved on to playing a couple regular games. It took awhile to find one that worked, as it has to synchronize the connections of all the players in the game, there are a lot of chances for lag. I continually would find myself plagued to where, because my opponent’s connection was less than desirable, I’d watch my super attack fly right through them, doing no damage, and then they’d proceed to pound the heck out of me.
I made the mistake of immediately going for the equipment with the best looking bonuses, however, due to the fact that the gloves I bought lower my speed ever-so-slightly, I can never land punches before they do, as their attacks are slightly faster. It’s quite annoying. I’ll try removing them as I play later games.
Overall, the game looks to have a lot of potential for the future, although I wouldn’t try playing just yet if you’re looking for a polished game. It is, after all, beta.

MMO Fighting Game: Rumble Fighter
By Ravenhawk | June 5, 2007
I apologize for missing my weekend post, I went to work, came home, passed out, and spaced it. In other news, a friend dropped me a link yesterday to Rumble Fighter, a new game currently in its second phase of beta testing. He’s been taking part in the beta from the start and says it is generally an awesome game.
It’s a side-scrolling fighting game like Street Fighter. You choose one of four classes, who all have distinct stats and abilities. There are different modes of play, including FFA brawls, King of the Hill, and a couple other interesting sounding things.
You can customize the look of your fighter with items like cool hair, different clothes, flags, etc. Fighters are ranked on a variety of statics and when you get in the top fighters, you get different flags and things to equip to show off your awesome peak rankings.
Controls are done with the keyboard, but I know my friend used his controlpad to play so, you could map the buttons to whatever device you feel like fighting with.
After reading all the stuff about it, I personally was totally pumped to play. Sadly, I don’t know how long it will be until the game is open for play, I think it has at least a couple more phases of beta to go through. I’ll be prodding my friend to keep me updated on awesomeness as he goes through the beta, and if there is any news, you’ll get it here.
