It's Not Dodgeball. It's DodgeBRAWL.

I wanted to ask, are you going do something with those characters that were being interviewed? They all seem way too good to just be advertising for a game where they don’t even appear.
I mean look at the comments, people are more interested in the characters in the ad than the game being promoted. Just saying.
we have these cool colorful characters in the interview that looks amazing, but the game is boring... is this is a joke? lol
Edit: and they don't appear in it.!
made this game free to play and you have another apex!
Ok, IMO, Dodgebrawl would've been a better name
Can we have a game or a show featuring the character promoting Knockout City? They seem like fun, and a waste NOT to use them for something else.
thats what im saying EA has the chance to do somthing right
They ruined the ad for me
So Drawn Together meets Wreck it Ralph and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
@@umbrella3235 Yep kind of,
1. Captain Wrangler is a parody overwatch character,
2. Princess charm is a 16 bit character that's a parody of the Princess in Damsel in distress in video games I think,
3. Corgon repesents fantasy MMorpgs or Warcraft I assume,
4. Alex Jackson is a parody of Call of duty,
5. Max Splints represents a parody The NFL or sports genre of games
This all feels like they were wreck it ralph Rejects
@@jonahabenhaim1223 Princess Charm is a punk parody of Princess Peach
When your ads look more interesting than the actual game.
every mobile game ever
@@zeroast9474 World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Dota... Basically any MMORPG, really.
@@Shilobotomized LoL and Dota aren't at all MMORPGs also Dota has never really had ads
İ hate knockout city cuz iam all ways on blue team and my team are bots and i get really mad i just puched my screen
The game is sooo fun, first play the game and then talk about it
the fake game mascots were more interesting than the game reveal itself, looked more like a trailer for a Wreck-it Ralph 3
They should make a comic series of them being a pro gaming league
They're so generic they look like they would appear on a sitcom but that what makes them so charming
@@sam4gaming135 by god your a genius they SHOULD be in a sitcom
@@dforme6683 Moe Larry Curly and Shemp the four stooges. You people haven't got an once of creative talent and should have a gram of opinion. Morons..
eh, it's just a beta...:/
This is a masterclass on Marketing, on how to NOT reveal your game. Only thing I got from this was that I want a Videogame's Drawn Together
That sounds way more interesting than whatever this game was about
Yep and Wreck it ralph
All the gameplay is real
Exactly!!!
Totally agree. Really poor marketing.
Trailer: "Wreck-it Ralph dodgeball? Great idea!"
Gameplay: "Nevermind"
Why did you make the ad more interesting than the game itself? I want to play a game with Orc, soldier guy, pixel princess, and space marine lady.
me too
Bro that soldier dude literally looks like one of those soldiers in csgo
And dont forget my boy Max Splints!
@@zydg7787 I think that's the point
Did you play the game? You can't say the ad is better if you didn't play the game
The characters playing the game had more personality then the ones in game
The characters in the intro looked more interesting than the entire game
You cannot convince me that orc isn't from warcraft.
i though it was some character from warcraft or something like this, and the Counter Terrorist from counter strike too xD
That was the idea. Counter strike, Mario bros, Warcraft, Madden and so on... The IDEA was to send the message that this was a game that all kinds of players would enjoy...
In PRACTICE they ended up coming up with characters that was more interesting than the game they were meant to promo
I think that was the intent.
I thought Gorgon was from Raid shadow legends and the soldier from CS:GO
@@theheroneededwillette6964
They got people talking about their game: Good marketing
They made the characters in the trailer better than the game in the ad: Bad marketing
IMPORTANT: They can use these characters from this trailer again for either marketing, toys, or full-fledged video games. This would instantly make them a ton of money which is what they really love.
I was hoping for some sort of crossover game with characters having unique artstyles that are representative of typical genre designs. I was honestly getting really hype seeing the different characters talking. But it was all just for dodgeball with generic 3D models?
Really though
Yeah. And this exact 3D artstyle is so abused by developers since Fortnite's success.
It would of been fun.
This also aged poorly
The game is great tho, so that's good.
That moment when the interviewed characters are more interesting than the game, cause I need to see more of Princess Charm!
I legit searched her up right after I saw this trailer
HEY!
it's just a beta :/
@@Zyntherion2202 based
Princess charm is cute, I'd want a plushie of her or her own game
@@jonahabenhaim1223 I'd buy it day one if she gets her own game, maybe like a 2D brawler or a platformer would be nice. Her pixel-artstyle will look absolutely beautiful
Make something with these characters like an animated series of them playing together because I love them
Found you
I need that too. They are worthy for an adult swim special!
I like the idea
X2
When the marketing team has a better concept than the game devs themselves you know its gonna be bad. I mean we all know its a dogeball game at the end of the day and maybe it ends up being a great game but i am so much more curious about those characters at the beginning
when people make up their minds when they haven't even played the game yet
It’s actually a great game it’s fun
@@DivinityFallen nah.
@@MrOnepiecem7 Yeah, it doesn't matter if this Knockout City game is good or not because it's just too bland to do well in today's market. Princess Charm is who we truly need.
@@Hauntaku wrong
OH COME ON, A GAME ABOUT MIXED MEDIA CHARACTERS WOULD BE SO COOL... wow this hurts...
Did you really just make a trailer with a world, art style, and characters more interesting than the game you're trying to promote? Good grief... It's like Dead Island all over again.
I think the game looks plenty interesting it’s just that I think they should’ve focused more on showing the fact that the game is different and less on telling me why.
Come on EA. You see how much love the interviewees are getting? Don't let them go to waste.
Dude, EA is just publishing the game, they didn't make it, they have no control over its development at all
You know a game is gonna take off really poorly when the characters in the trailer have more life in them then the characters in game. I would've LOVED a dodgeball party fighter with characters from other games, this is just kinda disappointing
Yeah if it was me I would have added classes like
Speedster-faster and can jump higher than the others even in ball form but one hit can take them out
Brute-is much slower than everyone else and has a shorter range in ball form but has more health and can knock people back farther.
Sharpshooter-has a longer range and a slide move but is average in everything else.
Even this would have add way more depth to the game
@@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034
That would have turned this game in a TF2 tier level.
But no. We are served the "Highly customizable no personality dummies".
Man
Imagine Smash but as a third person Action Dodge ball game
@@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034 X2
I'd try out lethal league blaze, or something. Doesn't feature chars from diff games or anything, and it isnt really 3d, but it IS dodgeball bros. Music is great, and the creators are the people making Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
Those character designs are like the ad team just grabbed concept art and used them, while some poor artist is like, "Now I'll never get the chance to pitch those games, because they used the designs for this ad instead."
dang never thought of it that way
@@AB-py6jl Nah, Princess Charm appeared a long long long time ago and she is still waiting for her game
Certainly sounds like what AAA would do though
The gameplay looks...alright but I agree with everybody else, the fake gaming mascots looked more interesting. I would totally watch an animated series of those three playing games then play the actual game myself.
alright? looks terrible to me.
What about playing a game with the characters?
@@user-bw2zq2nj7r changed ur mind?
This is another one that aged poorly
@@knightkore1828 yeah the game is actually pretty good
Everyone here talkin' about Princess Charm, I wanna see more of Lt. Alex Jackson. He deserves better.
I also wanna see Capt. Wrangler. You can't tell me she wouldn't be the mom friend
the japanese version of the direct didn't have these mascots at all
which makes all these random mascots showing up extra confusing
I guess the only way to get the western audience talking is to make good characters to advertise a mediocre game.
Game is far from mediocre tho
Guess some people misunderstand this trailer a bit. Its not super bad advertisement imo. The characters are not in the game, not because EA was just lazy (maybe, I dont know lol), but I guess mostly because they wanted to show, that people from different kinds of platforms and players that enjoy different kinds of games might enjoy it too. The characters are the players, as easy as it is to understand. The Orc represents MMORPG, while the Counter-Terrorist represents shooters, Princess Charm the Jump n Run games ect ect, you know where Im getting at. So in short, they wanted to show, that the characters, or more like, the different playerbases, might like this new freshly made fun looking game. I hope some of you now understand why the advertisement is not really that 'true' to the gameplay.
Although you're right, the problem is that the characters shown were far more interesting for a lot of people than the actual game, so it's not so much that the game has misleading publicity, but rather that we got shown something different (and to some, better) than the actual product
**Sees Princess Charm**
I can hear the pen tablets of R34 artists scribbling already...😫
She is a c h i l d
@@pennysantana247 SHE'S A QUEEN
Well... it’s done
@@pennysantana247 that never stopped them
@@pennysantana247 W E D O N ' T C A R E -already drawing-
I was excited to play as a Battlefield/COD soldier, WOW-esque orc/ogre, and an 8-Bit styled princess. But then the actual gameplay came on and it looks like all of the other bland, milquetoast Fortnite style copycats. Disappointing art choice.
CS Soldier*
It's almost like they threw the commercial together with some stock models they had laying around because they couldn't get real people for the commercial.
That said, really confusing commercial once you realize the game has nothing to do with the characters.
R6 soldier**
@@koirobert1579 R6?
@@oscargutierrez2125 I wanted to spark some controversy
I would rather play a game as the characters playing the game than the game itself. Video Game Genre themed team game sounds more fun.
I'm more interested in the characters playing the game than the actual game. Princess Charm is adorable!
I love her
Princess Charm: A princess is supposed to LEAD her people, not just wind up in a tower waiting for a, HE-RO.
Me: Instantly, you are now my favorite character.
X2
Very disappointing you guys because this game dose not have her so this game (throw the game in the garbage )
Now I want a miniseries with these characters living together. Like Friends, or Drawn Together
Yeah this is better then this garbage game
Princess charm needs her own game where she is an active protagonist instead of damsel in destress
She could rescue princesses and stomp on skeletons while using a shotgun or something
I like this trio. They have good chemistry
And gameplay will be disappointed because these characters on the ad it's not there but we got bland people ( wind go by)
All the comments saying how the game looks so uninteresting but haven't even played it
It's literally one the most fun games I've ever played
I'm with this person this game rocks
Princess Charm NEEDS to have her own game! Or atleast a 16-bit skin in the game.
What the hell, the characters interviewed were way more interesting than the game itself... What's wrong with you guys? You had a great character concept and then BAM! let's have just normal guys running around just like the other hundred games from the last 20 years.
Good idea for the gameplay tho.
That's what I mean this is miss leading
How’d you make a bunch of characters for a trailer that I instantly want to see more of over literally anything in the actual game
Princess Charm: Let's find out what sound your FACE makes!
Me: ROTFLMAOWTF!? Best pixelated princess character EVER!
Gameplay: dose not have that
@@jasontheguywhocandostuff9928 I know it doesn't. I just find her funny. Fight me and lose. My opinion, not yours.
We need more of Princess Charm.... Put her into the game as a special character or something
Don't give them ideas like that. They need to give her a full game and not just a cameo
They'd make more money with her having a full game with collector's edition anyway
and look at the likes it's just ridiculous for a miss leading ad have more likes why does d's change the dislike so you can't dislike because it make £1.99 for pressing a dislike
I only came back for Princess Charm. Her animation style is great.
It's not Dodgeball.
Its wasted potential.
This actually got me:)
Yep it is
Hell no i love this game
@@babooeyygaming7695 exactly this games good
The trailer: 🥰🥰🥰🥰
The gameplay: 😐
Boring I am right
In EA's defense, they probably didn't expect the trailer to be more interesting than the actual game.
For real people kinda hating on it
I think I would have been sold on this if I could be an actual orc playing dodgeball. It's a cute game or whatever but come on orcs playing dodgeball!!!
Orcball: Scream of Champions
After seeing this trailer I thought the game was gonna suck, but I tried it at launch and I'm hooked. Who knew there could be such depth and well thought out mechanics in a dodheball game? I still want a game about Princess Charm though.
lets hope EA puts the characters promoting it in thr game or make a game about them
the princess is genuinely more interesting than the trailer itself
"Just once... Just once, I'd like to catch one of those bullets!" Same, man.
this is the day that the entire internet decided they could figure out a games quality while not playing it
"Just once, I'd like to catch one of those bullets, yknow!" Same man...
This reminds exactly how EA revealed Facebreaker back in like 2009 or whatever
they put more effort into this ad than the game itself
This is like going from Overstrike to Fuse in a matter of seconds
God, I love how everyone's saying the same thing about how the trailer characters should get their own game/show/something else.
The Game Looks Very Good Tho.
@@kalimbers1475 eh looks stiff to me
@@kalimbers1475 Ninjala is far better
This game deserved so much better
2 years later they're shutting down. Should've put these trailer guys in the actual game!
Ok the game is really fun but i ain't gonna lie that the beggining of the trailer was crazy deceiving
now I feel like I need a game that combines all 3 styles of art
i legit thought this was Warcraft content coming to fortnite.
I thought it was csgo coming to smash
What a wild mixture of framerates in this trailer! Digital Foundry will have their fun with it
Who else thought/wanted the characters that were promoting the game to actually be in the game
Returning to this after having actually played the game... yeha, I would still love a game where you have a bunch of character archetypes from different games, all pit against each other or something. Game itself is very fun though!
Dude this looks like fun I can’t wait to try it out
Can't wait!!!!
How can people say a game is disappointing by not even playing it yet, it's crazy xd
as awful and confusing the trailer was when first seeing it, the game is actually really fun
This game looks fun and awesome I sign up the beta on steam can't wait to play it.
1:53 No man! YOU deserve your own game!
I don't know about everyone else but this game seems fun as hell to me.
People like hating things because other people are hating on it too! Smh
@@agujitagaming9763 buy this game on release and play it for over 13 hours then come back
Play Ninjala instead
I always wonder what technique they were using when they rapidly clicking R1 and L1.
I miss this game :< I want to play it again with my friends in crossplay.
Y'all really judged this game by the trailer
Just played this today on ps4 its fun I can't wait till release 👍🏿
They want $20 for a game that's going to sell us microtransactions? Just make the game free instead of trying to cash in on a game you dont have confidence in
eh nah
Totally agree with you
I feels like there should be away to add lock-on system and directional throw to add more depth
Make an entire game around these characters, they are far better than the actual game in this trailer.
when the orc guy said “me the ball” all i could think of was riz gugack licensed private investigator
Is it going to be available for the ps4?
It's funny how the trailer is interesting in the game, butvwhen you played the actual game, it's really fun!
Small info about Princess Charm
She was created by Anis Meamar and Marty Pinos Mello, independent animators hired by EA to contribute to the trailer... with barely any info about "Knockout City"
And... EA apparently didn't credit them, nor the others
Someone needs to contact them and get them to make a Princess Charm game because it'd sell millions of copies
I have to say, this is Hillarious. Makes me want to play the game
Rocket League,but the pilots get out of their cars.
I have to agree with the general consensus here. The game itself looks fun on it's own, but the way it is advertised makes it look lackluster in comparison to the colorful cast they used.
I was thinking this game was gonna be like a Gumball-Wreck it Ralph-esc fighting game with a colorful cast of characters, each representing a different form of game. But no.....It's Dodge Ball.
So like. A crossover game with all these characters in the ad when?
We'll be waiting.
did anyone else think it was going to be the characters doing the interviews as the characters in the game? i was very dissapointed, this seems like such a fun crossover idea
Wait this was the reveal? I had totally forgotten. Wow.
Drawn Together but with video games
Rendered Together
Hey guys from EA, will we ever get C&C Generals remaster or C&C Generals 2?
the entire comment section aged like milk
Imagine a fighting game with this characters
The characters in the interview look WAY better and interesting than the game lmao
I can just repeat what everyone else is saying. This trailer just shows the comparison between what we COULD get (Drawn Together like character mix) and what we are getting (generic 3D model ball game).
This is gonna lose 90% of its small playerbase in the first 2 months
Yeah, the game is missing good characters with varying playing styles which could've been solved by making the ad characters the actual in-game characters instead
I can say a video game trailer is not where I would have expected to hear Love's "Seven & Seven Is"!
I'm getting major Lethal League vibes. Looks pretty okay.
Though the trailer was rather misleading, kind did a bait and switch there
Why does Knockout City have its logo similar to Jet Set Radio?
Please a crossover of 3 different game styles with the characters from the trailer
whats the song playing here does anyone know? i'd love to look further into it!
Seven and Seven IS by Love
Game is actually insanely good though...lmao
when you make characters solely to promote a game and people are more interested in those characters than the actual game
If EA truly likes money then they'll make a Princess Charm game with NO microtransactions
I know the different styles and fake characters are more interesting than the actual game but no one is going to talk about how the logo looks like Jet Set Radio
1:33
Is that Sergeant Calhoun from Wreck-It Ralph wearing a wig and blue armor ?!
And already the Knockout City fanbase is blowing up with Princess Charm.
Does Knockout City even have a fanbase? Princess Charm isn't even from that game and she's the only one anyone is even talking about even though she's in the trailer for like 19 seconds
This is what dodgeball felt in school
