PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Officially Announced

Dual Pixels - Developed By Super Bot Ent., PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has officially been announced for PS3.

[Mike_Tha_Hero]

Can't wait! I don't even care that it's inspired by Smash Bros. When you take notes from a series that fun, you can only get amazing results.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

I love the idea of them mashing up maps. The Gow Patapon one was a standout. As a huge smash bros fan, I'm definitely picking it up. Game is out this year in December... And there will be third party characters. Very stoked for this

[BrunoM]

I agree with you all the way ...

I love what I saw and it look to be a fast paced game that's a plus for the game ...

It's going to be one of thouse games that has tons of DLC but you know what I think it will be the kne game I won't mind the DLC at all as long as they keep more characters coming its all good ...

(hope they make watch one of tem play different hope they don't just add a skin on the character and say its new hopes kratos plays as it shude and let's say Nate does to just hoping that's my 1 fear for these game )

[GribbleGrunger]

what's more import though is the fact that we have yet another studio working for Sony. it's also coming out this year... and who's to say we won't see a Vita version

[DigitalAnalog]

From what I've gathered from the GTTV preview, Superbot is a team composed from SSM studios who decided to set their own independent venture.

[Commander_TK]

Cole from Infamous. Maybe Nathan Drake. Jak & Daxter!

[nnotdead]

i do think the levels look really cool, but i am not a Smash Bros. fan, so my interest in this game is near zero. i know a lot of people do like Smash, so i guess a lot of people will enjoy this.

[miyamoto]

The King of Fighters was released by SNK in 1994
Fighter's Megamix was released by Sega in 1996
X-Men vs Street Fighter was released by Capcom in 1996

But when Nintendo released Smash Brothers its like they invented the crossover fighting genre like Apple invented touchscreen smart phones.

This is an old tried and true genre and successful formula every major game development company should have

Fanboys.

[LaChance]

It would have been MS this thread would be up in fire with people calling it a rip-off of Smash Bros.
Now it's just "I dont mind".

[MmaFan-Qc]

@LaChance
after all, arent all the FPS games a blatant ripoff of Wolfenstein3D?

sure the gameplay is very VERY similar to ssb, but honestly its not a reason for the nintendo fans to go apeshit because the gameplay is similar.

..if the game is good and fun...whats the problem? ...and what if the game end up being better and more fun than ssb?

"It would have been MS this thread would be up in fire with people calling it a rip-off of Smash Bros.
Now it's just "I dont mind". "
weird,...because ive seen some peoples calling it a rip-off even if its from Sony,....but hey, every one already know your agenda.

[sikbeta]

I'll pown anyone with that Mofo Radec lol

[darthv72]

the highest form of flattery.

This game looks to be fun on so many levels.

[SilentNegotiator]

So a mashup fight game is automatically a ripoff of other mashup fighting games?

yeaaaaaaaah, okay. That's dumber than how every 3d platformer was called a "Mario ripoff" or every shooter being a "doom clone"

[pixelsword]

Not my thing at all, but whatever.

Yeah, it's also a blatant rip-off of Smash Brothers like some writers are itching to point out (and will in the following weeks/months), and SSB is also a rip-off of The King of Fighters/Fighter's Megamix/X-Men vs Street Fighter like axel said. What makes SSB different than those other games is that the characters are from entirely other fighting and non-fighting game genres into one fighting game; so in that regard, SSB has earned that right to be called unique and therefore "first".

Overall, it's not a problem in and of itself in terms of ripping off a game; it's a problem if/when:

- Nintendo goes into it's "mii-too" rant like they did with the Wii, even though the move prototype was shown before anyone knew what the Wii was. In terms of SSB it can also be pointed out that other games like it (and I mean exactly like it in terms of every technical aspect) have been out previous to SSB.

or

- When the game industry and it's cornucopia of inept writers don't follow it's own genre and give credit for a game that ripped-off another game like what happened with the gears/kill.switch incident.

or

A game rips-off a character from another game to the degree that you can make a direct connection to another game, yet fans or devs wish to claim uniqueness based upon their own arrogance. (Ken + Ryu weren't the first karate red/white gi characters, for example; but fans deride tekken, kof, Virtua fighter, etc. for their red/white gi fighters).

That's the only problem I have, really.

[DaveMan]

Agreed.

I'm also hyped because I never had any Nintendo systems growing up, so I never really got into Super Smash Bro's that much. With Playstation Battle Royale, I can finally experience what Nintendo fans have experienced for years with SSB.

I truly hope that Superbot gives the appropriate effort that this game deserves.

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

I'm the same way! Well, sort of.

I absolutely loved Nintendo growing up. However, I never really connected with any of the characters because...let's face it...very few of them have good stories.

Sony characters have interesting stories! I fell in love with them as soon as I bought my PS1. Crash Bandicoot, Solid Snake, Sweet Tooth, and Gran Turismo became my world...

I can't wait to see what happens with this. It's the game I've wanted my entire life.

[Awesome_Gamer]

Its going to be fucking awesome!!

[ASTAROTH]

LOL!!... This game looks really awesome and fun... I laugh because I told a friend they will include the fat Princess... we were joking but now that I see her... my frind must be laughing in awe too!!.

[TBM]

question didnt sony ask fans what type of game they wanted to see/play, and didnt the fans respond asking for a fighting smash up with all the PS characters?

i dont understand why some people are upset over a new game coming out that people want. you go to LoT and you see some of the comments there hating, you go to youtube and you see more hating comments.

i thought the job of the publishers was to give their fans the types of games they wanted to play.

well from the video i saw here go on sony that they are providing their fans the types of games they want.

i have all 3 console and i could only wish certain publishers provided me with the games i want to play.

[MrMister]

I'd like a Sony Character Mash up fighting game too. But NOT a blatant rip-off of smash bros. It looks to play EXACTLY the same. I was hoping for more like a new gameplay style; or at least something like an easier to play Marvel Vs Capcom, or powerstone. But not Smash Bros. It just seems like too much of a rip-off. This is entirely laughable. It might be fun, but it's just a rip-off. And this is coming from a Sony fanboy like me!

[TBM]

Can someone here please tell me what kind of new gameplay can be thought up for this game wit the millions of fighting games already made. what could the developers here do that hasn't been done in any other game.

[oricon]

@axelstone I disagree, yes smash is in the fighter genre however its completely different from the traditional fighter your not fighting to beat someone and get their HP down to 0, its to damage them high enough so you can smash them out of the stage the game is played different, Nintendo created something unique not seen in other fighters with smash, im not bashing this game im just disagreeing with your comment.

[StraightPath]

i wonder if solid snake will make a appearance, as he already did and his levels in smash bros brawl..all they have to do is copy and paste the levels and his moves as he worked great already in smash bros.

Looks fun but the characters will never reach the status of the classic characters and genres in smash bros games.

If nintendo show the new smash bros for 3ds or wii u somthing that will be really sad for sony lol as it is a plain rip off and clone.

[TekoIie]

That would just give people a reason to shout "RIPOFF" if they include a character with the EXACT same moves from another console.

Also not sure if I'm talking my ass here but couldn't there be legal issues if they made a character who played exactly like a character from another game??? Kinda like when JK Rowling sued somone because they wrote a book which was a blatant Harry Potter wannabe.

[NBT91]

I didnt see any crazy weapons like there are in SSB though and im not sure if they are focusing on good melee combat or if the weapons just arent in there yet.

Other than that it looked exactly like SSB and thats okay for me, I love that game so much! And now it will be more relevant to me, having grown up with PlayStation =D

I am super excited for this one, and I definitely cant wait to see what new things they add as development goes on.
They definitely seem to know a lot about the history of the characters, franchises and stories which is very good (making Parappa more Kung Fu than the other characters).

Who knows, it might even strum up some interest in a new Parappa game, or if it is filled with PlayStation nostalgia, to bring life back into long forgotten gems. It has a lot of potential because of Sony having a huge amount of material for them to work with.

I only hope it sells well and people dont just write it off as a SSB clone and not bother, anyone who loved that game should be perfectly happy with this.

[r2kcipher]

i agree lachance looks just like ssb with a new coat of paint if you disagree you are in denial. i was hoping for more originality.

buuuuuttttt...

master chief vs marcus vs pinata vs nissan skyline. on the kinect would have been alot worse.

ssb is a very fun game and sony has much larger catalog of characters that actually belong in a fighting game unlike microsoft. so the chances of this being a really fun game to play with friends is very high. i will still wait for a demo to make sure.

[MoveTheGlow]

PaRappa The Rapper is this game's Pit - soon enough, people will be a bit miffed that they added this guy to a fighting game, but they haven't seen a significant PaRappa release in a long, long, long, long, long, long time. Not as long as Kid Icarus, mind you, but this is Playstation we're talking about here; they started later.

[princejb134]

Sony if you gonna rip smash brothers do it right by taking everything
Don't do it by point system like don stadium, that game is garbage

[Sticky__Rice]

Was trying to watch it streamed :/ I missed it. Did they reveal a trailer?

[Dante112]

My guy streamed it for me over the PSN chatroom. Looked like so much fun, the specials were off the hook. Really reminded me of Smash Bros. which is a good thing.

[GribbleGrunger]

it's up

http://www.gametrailers.com...

[Tonester925]

looks kinda slow.

[Dante112]

@ Tone

Looked pretty well paced to me. It was also confirmed to be 60 fps.

[NBT91]

I have little doubt it will run in 3D too.
They might even add Move support (you remember that right, the controller with a bulb on the end that seems to never get used any more)

[TekoIie]

@ NBT

I disagreed with you by accident lol. But Move support would really help Sony increase the sales of the Move. I'm sure they'll do it since its a game which could easily incorporate the controls (for obvious reasons). It would defo be a good business descision on Sonys part!

[Starbucks_Fan]

you must be high

[Majin-vegeta]

Just watched and i gotta say it's now my most anticipated game ever^_^.

[MrMister]

But...Why?

[LOL_WUT]

Why are you questioning what he likes?

On topic Kratos v.s Kratos v.s Kratos v.s Kratos = win

[Nathaniel_Drake]

It looks so funny and cool

[Summons75]

about time....just waiting for the trailer now

[jcsaint]

guys please describe the art style they are using or whta king of gameplay is gpoing to be please

[Tonester925]

Exactly like smash bros but with special move meters.

The gameplay looks slow considering how Smash Bros you can pull off combos. Doesn't look as easy in this game. Or the people playing weren't good

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

This game is based on more combos and moves. It's a much deeper fighter than Super Smash Bros. It's as hard to master as a traditional fighter, but as accessible as SSB. :)

Wait until you play it!

[tinezedw]

Awesome,the gameplay and the levels look awesome.even fat princess looks cool,lol.

[WillGuitarGuy]

Dammit, you beat me to the N4G post. Lol, still waiting for the trailer.

[Skateboard]

Fat Princess looks boss. Where the #### did that come from? I never played that game and now i want to buy it.

[WillGuitarGuy]

Fat Princess is a great game. I got really addicted to it for a while. You should try it. :)

[MidnytRain]

You've never heard of Fat Princess???

[Soldierone]

Be nice if all these early jumpers could have included the trailer lol

[koston3647]

the gameplay looks like a blast. the Buzz Quizzes that pop up during battle is awesome.

[Majin-vegeta]

Hell yea that looks awesome.

@Kevin McCallister i'm calling it it's the PS logo :D.

[Sticky__Rice]

www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-E34l L5t5Y

It looks pretty fun!

[Kevin McCallister]

Just caught some of the game play on Spike. Looks interesting, but I'll have to see more. The producer of the game also mentioned there's a final boss, which the team had a lot of conversation about, but that PlayStation fans would be happy. I've got my money on Sephiroth. Idk if there's any other character that would make more sense.

[tinezedw]

You might be right,let's hope u are,lol.

[xXBlondieVanHarlowXx]

How about Kevin Butler? Or a floating six-axis? :D Hell maybe even a giant floating socked foot lol >_<

ON TOPIC!! Either way I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!!!!

[DrRichtofen]

I bet it'll be sack boy

[waltyftm]

That's what i was thinking too.

[Daver]

That would be nice if the boss is a character that announces a new game.

I hope Sackboy is bleeding cotton when he gets hits

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

Possible final bosses:

Ken Kutaragi
Kevin Butler
Polygon Man (REALLY hoping for this one)
GLaDOS
Big Boss
Sephiroth
Final Colossus (PLEASE!?!?)

[InactiveUser]

Maybe a giant enemy crab. :)

[LarVanian]

Krazy Ken riding on top of a Giant Enemy Crab, with Kevin Butler and Kaz Hirai as special moves!

[nnotdead]

my first thought was Polygone Man. i'll put my money on him.

[Lilioups]

rofl if its ken kutaragi
hahahaha after he screwed the ps3 launch it would be time for revenge.

my bet is sephiroth or kevin butler

[princeofthabay]

i bet its KB

[ThePsychoGamer]

I'm kinda hoping for the final boss to be... POLYGON MAN!... you know, the creepy original mascot of Playstation in the US.

[MrMister]

Sepheroth as a playable character or a pre-boss would be cool. But Kevin Butler or Kaz Hirai as final Boss would be epic. (Still though, why'd this game have to be such a obvious Smash Bros knock-off? Why not an entirely different play style?)

[tinezedw]

All characters got 3 supers,there are third party characters too but not announced yet and the single player has a final boss will be a surprise.coming out this year,holiday season.CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!!!!!!.

[GamingTruth]

as someone who has been around to play playstation from the start i cant wait for this game

[KeiserSosay4788]

Looks fun but, c'mon:/ It looks ALOT like Super Smash Bros, I mean even down to the characters spinning in the air after being hit sometimes. I'm glad there ARE differences though that seem to make the gameplay more exciting.

[vickers500]

Personally, I hope it's almost exactly like Super Smash Bros, except (obviously) the Nintendo themes/characters replaced with Sony themes/characters.

I played the crap out of super smash bros melee, and some of brawl at my friends house (don't have a wii) and loved them (also played the original as well), and for years I've been saying Sony needs a game like this with playstation characters. I'm a little surprised it took them this long, but I'm very glad to see that it's finally coming.

[Shani]

just watched the video..
it looks so much fun with 4 characters fight at once and interactive backgrounds.. its awesome.
Looking forward to this.

[Skateboard]

Parappa The Rappa . :) This is going to be sooo awesome. I'm going to do this !!!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Deathdeliverer]

PaRappa has me HYPE! But I'd DIE if Sho, Eiji, or Kayin from Battle Arena Tohshinden were announced! Please make it happen sony! And something just crossed my mind right as I was about to end this. What if the but that UGLY rabbit from jumping flash in? Sony has too many games too pull from...

[GamingTruth]

also with ps3s power backing the game its going to be interesting to see how a basically smash bros game could look with ps3s power powering the game

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

FREAKING A!!!

[irishyort]

Once again a PS3 exclusive with no mention of the VITA!

For gods sake Sony, support your new machine!!!!

[GamingTruth]

nah, id rather them use the ps3 only to give the game its maximum possibilities, they could just make a separate playstation all-stars battle for vita

[irishyort]

MK Vita has all the DLC that the consoles have so not sure how it would be watered down. Especially considering it is a basic fun fighting game, its not like any graphical limits will be pushed.

If they can have Smash Bros announced for both PiiU and 3DS, Sony should have it on their systems. Just plain lazy in their lack of support for the Vita! Its getting PSP style worrying when I see stuff like this announced without a Vita mention!!

[Summons75]

wow it was literally just announced and your already nitpicking.....wait till later today when they may or may not give more info or hell just shut up and wait till E3 to find out more details.

[DA_SHREDDER]

F the Vita. Viva la Ps3 and ps4! Handhelds are garbage unless they are phones, and no , skype doesn't cut it.

[BubloZX]

lmao the vita is just as good as my ps3 phones are ass. And why are you mentioning the ps4? the PS4 may not be here for a till 2014 for all we know.

[ozzywazzy]

shield and sword ready and waiting for the SSB fanboy horde.

[silkrevolver]

Total ripoff.
Total fun!

I’m excited!

[silkrevolver]

Though, I really wish they went with “Title Fight”.
It’s a much better name.

[Skateboard]

Title Fight describes nothing, that name can be used for any fighting game.

[negroguy]

That radec level 3 is OP lol I cant wait until they reveal Cole.

[r21]

that looks bloody amazing! with so many ps games released, how many characters are they gonna fit in there? also, sly is in :D this is awesome! and holy crap, radec's 3rd super move thing is awesome XD

[capjacksparrow]

hell yeah dude, gameplay looks soooo solid! I can't wait to see some of the other characters!!!!!!!!

[Sizzon]

Radec's jetpack in FPS mode looked sick and parappa the rapper! omg ps1 nostalgia!

[Optical_Matrix]

In b4...bu bu but its a Nintendo rip off...

I'm sure I'm missing some, but there are loads more, especially on the DS. I'm just glad that the formula used in one of my favourite games this generation (Smash Bros Brawl), is being brought to HD systems, with PlayStation franchises and competent Online play. If nothing else it'll keep us all going until Smash Bros.4. Can't wait.

[yewles1]

You forgot one...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[oricon]

Those games are different, this game play style is pretty much exactly like smash the HUD everything except they use HP instead of percentage, those are simply crossovers and it seems to have smashes which are pretty unique to smash.

Anyways im not really bothered i just found it funny when i think it was last year e3 microsoft announced the greek game made by crytek everyone bashed them for being GOW clone on this site.

As long as this game is good im happy

[Creative-Enigma]

awwwww yeah

[Acquiesc3]

It's as similar to SSB as I expected. PlayStation has a lot of good characters.. it's about damn time. Just hoping it doesn't suck.

Would like to see Wander and Ico for sure.

[chavo_superpoderoso]

OMG I can't wait to play this game. Smash brothers games are my favorite games on nintendo platforms and now battle royal will be on sony.
I don't care if they're similar, I'll have fun playing it. Tomorrow I will reserve mine

[thehusbo]

Holy shit! Can't wait for this!!!!! :DDDDD

[Kos-Mos]

I don`t think this game will receive good critics.

[DigitalAnalog]

WHERE THE FLYING F*CK ARE APE ESCAPE CHARACTERS? THIS IS AN OUTRAGEEEE!!!!

[gemc666]

wait for it, this seems to be alpha stage and only 4 characters to test the game

[meowthemouse]

If this game didn't have Sony characters you guys wouldn't be hyped. This game looks as good as digimon rumble arena so far.

[SecretPsycho]

Well duh wouldn't be as hyped..
It would be like mario kart without mario....what you left with..an average kart racing game

[avenger.avrs]

Super smash bros is my favorite series. With that being said I cant wait for this:) This game may even hold me over until the new smash game comes out.

[Kluv]

Has anyone figured out how the health works?!

[Drainage]

i think we can all agree that this will just be the appetizer for the main course, which will be super smash bros wii u

[Laika]

I don't agree. I don't plan on buying a wii u. so this will be perfect for me.

[Lilioups]

hell yeah
day one for me
cant wait to play fight with all the characters back from the ps1 era
and also they sai they will have third partys characters
so some final fantasy 7-8-10 characters is more than welcome oO and i also want nariko cmon superbot

[SecretPsycho]

I'm surprised how civil it is here x3

You go on any youtube video of this you'll see a list of nin fans shouting hate at it x3

[Veneno]

Mortal Kombat and SF x Tekken both had Playstation Characters. I bet we'll see Sony return the favor by having buttloads of Capcom and Mortal Kombat characters in PBR! Ryu vs. Sackboy? Yes, please. And holy shee-ot think of all the 3rd party characters that are possible. this could include companies like SEGA, Konami, NIS (I DEMAND DISGAEA CHARACTERS!!!!!!), Atlus. The list goes on and on.......

[krazykombatant]

Right and how many clones will there be?? One of the problems with melee was the clined characters. Either way, nice to see ps3 fans get their own little thing. Im sure it wont be long till they claim its better than ssb

[supremacy]

Just like pepsi and coke, playstation and xbox and every other chewing gum you can think off. No need to worry its only a game by any other name. I am sure atari wish Nintendo didnt come along and steal their thunder. Like I said I aint worried about it.

Sony made grandturismo, god of war, twisted metal and I am pretty sure there are clones flooding the market. Do I care? Not in the slightest really, I mean I am passed all that. And many should too.

[Nerdmaster]

Oh, wow! This proves me two things:

1 - Sony has no good characters.

2 - Sony fanboys say Nintendo only does kiddy stuff, but when Sony does the EXACT same thing, it's suddenly cool (I'm also considering Wiimote/Move here).

[gemc666]

no good characters?....and nintendo do? let me see

1 character (so far) with diferent Story from a DIFERENT GAME, so if there's 35 characters (Ala SMB) it would be 35 different universes

Nintendo: 6 Characters from mario, 2 pokemons, 2 characters from donkey kong, 4 borrowed from sega, snake, kirby, zelda stuff

i'm not hating the game, i'm hating your attitude, i play SSBB sometimes and is not a kid game if you know how to play it

Also the level design so far looks MUCH better than the one in SSBB

[Nerdmaster]

Even if it has characters from more different games, you're trying to compare Fat Princess, some guy from Killzone, Kratos, Parappa and possibly third-tier characters like Sly, Ratchet and Jak, to Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Fox, Kirby...

Can you honestly say that these Sony characters have more charisma and recognition than the Nintendo ones?

[Horny]

Nintendo and Sony should team up next gen and make a smash brothers vs ps allstars.

[DeletedAcc]

I hope ruffy is in there ;)
( one piece pirate warriors )

[Yodagamer]

I think the only thing that kinda saddens me about this game is that there probably won't be alot of the ips from the ps1 era, since alot of them got bought out.

[TheLastGuardian]

This is going to be so much fun. There's so many PlayStation® characters I want on the roster. I can't wait to play this game.

[TheRichterBelmont]

Hopefully Nariko is in this.

[Valorous_Entity]

I can't wait to try this out! This looks like a ton of fun already! I also can't wait to see the 3rd Party support.

[Daver]

It looks great so far! Level design is awesome.

[truewittness]

I know I will get reamed here for even mentioning this, but, if Microsoft makes a SSB type game next year...is it copying? Or will the same posts for defending this game be posted there as well?

Just a question, not looking for fanboy rants but just honest answers.

[cr33ping_death]

with what characters???

not trying to be an @ss but its true, a MS game would be compiled of mainly 3rd party characters.

[truewittness]

I'm sorry, but I'm in no way a fanboy for any system, but that my friend was a fanboy response. Get real, any console can do it, they all have enough exclusives.

Just off the top of my head there could be:

i didn't think i would get an honest response

[CanadianTurtle]

Day 1 buy

[bubwright]

this game does look fun. but its not for me. im not fan off the fighting button mashing games :(

[dragonopt1]

I've never been a huge fighting game fan but this actually looks like a lot of fun.

[Afterlife]

OMG the Paul Gale stuff is pretty accurate. I read through the stuff and compared it to videos from GameTrailers and it's nearly spot on.

I wanted to see Drake then I noticed this. There's gameplay details for him.

http://paulgalenetwork.com/...

Were we suppose to see Nathan Drake in that preview build because Paul listed 7 characters and 6 of them were revealed today, this is dated back in November. You can check his site for more stuff that I'm sure is real now.

[wollie]

Oh God I've waited so long for this. Thank you.

[Gen0ne]

Hope this game does well for Sony and they definitely have my money but Jesus, they really didn't try too hard/at all to set themselves apart from Smash. Oh well...

[-Gespenst-]

Looks awesome. I just hope there's a LOT more characters.

I'm really looking forward to this, looks like it could be great online and offline in terms of multiplayer. Am I the only one who would be cool if Nathan Drake isn't in it at all?

[xyxzor]

Yeah, I was expecting maybe something a little bit different than SSB, but this is pretty much an exact copy. Very disappointed.

[EffectO]

Nintendo has nothing to fear.

[wollie]

of course not. imitation is the best form of flattery.

[MyVoiceForN4G]

I just can not believe these sony fans, they just go berserk whenever a new game announced... but when the game actually released they all go hidden . i remember when twisted metal and resistance 3 were announced they created the same buzz.. fan going crazy but look at their sale numbers .. twisted metal sold 300k worldwide in 2 months.... its a shame

[goldwyncq]

Now the only thing left to do is for Microsoft to make a game like this, if they even have enough IP that is.

[Ashunderfire86]

Only Master Chief and Marcus Fenix LOL!!! It will tank!!! Oh wait!!! Even Blinx the time sweeper LOL!!!

[Ashunderfire86]

This is not the first time Sony copy off Nintendo in a game, just look at Crash Bandicoot Racing and others. So All Star Battle Royale huh!!!! Oh what if Smash Bro 4. is announce for a 2012 holiday release to face off against Battle Royale I wonder who would win? Brawl was one of my favorite fighting games ever!!!! If This game can give me the same excitement as Brawl than shut up!!!! And take my money lol!!!

[mynameisEvil]

Who would win? With casual gamers, I'd expect Brawl as they at least know some of the characters. For core gamers, I'd expect Battle Royale to end up getting more sales due to the fact that there aren't many core gamers who care about their Wiis or the Wii U to get a new SSB game, at least not immediately.

Also, is there REALLY a reason you need to put 3 to 4 exclamation marks after everything you say? I mean, really...

[Siren30]

Please, no sony game is going outsell smash bros

[Ashunderfire86]

Why are you so work up? Lol!!! I can comment anyway I feel like, and I don't care if you don't like it. That's why you got 3 disagrees including me which is the fourth. So shut TF up!!!

[mynameisEvil]

What the hell are you talking about "work up" (Hint hint: It's "worked up". Get an education)? You asked a question, I gave an answer.

With that said, you must be no older than 9 years old if you think, "Disagree = Hate you" Disagree means DISAGREE.

Again, get a damn education...

[goldwyncq]

Extra points if they implement Move control.

[mynameisEvil]

Boss?

Kevin Butler got promoted!

[mt]

i see alot of hates from the nintendo fan ;p

[SuperBeast811]

I was hoping for more of a MK or SF style gameplay...

[Siren30]

Whats next, god of war galaxy? How about the legend of nathan drake skyward sword. I'm sure you guys would pretend to be excited about that too. Just like with the playstatin move

[Imikida]

I don't think Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale will be really considered a copy of ssb, I think title fights should become there own genre.

[kesvalk]

i just hope they blatantly copy some of the gameplay of smash, like the dodges and techs...

also, by what i get from the video, you kill ppl by maxing a special bar, then using a super move (fat princess chicken, parapa skate, sweetooth robo thing, etc...) this could cause some battle to be VERY lengthy, and even rewards defensive play... i dunno if this is a good idea.

i hope this game to be a success, everyone saw what lack of competitors done to smash (horrible ideas all over brawl, to the point ppl needed to MOD the game to be playable), hope this shakes smash a little and makes them focus on better gameplays than another party game...

it's a pity i really don't like any character design from sony (aside from sly cooper).

[SuperbVillain]

I was thinking it would be a darker themed brawl,like a mortal kombat type of gamestyle.But hey this could be fun too

[NeXXXuS]

Legend Of Dragoon characters. Make it happen please T_T

[impulse135]

i hope this game will have when u can just knock the other person offscrean and have them trying to get back on the arena

[Amaterasu5]

OMFG even God of War 2 kratos, this game is gonna be awesome.

Too bad FF Versus won't take part.

[KimDongHwan]

Best game ever

[josephayal]

GOTY 2012 Confirmed

[pyramidxboy]

I can't believe Smash Bros. came to the PS3!!! Oh wait.....

[aDDicteD]

[paybackprahl]

[LiquifiedArt]

Finally a Smash BROS with an ADULT CONTROLLER. !!! I've waiting forever!

[TeflonHahn]

I can think of some awesome classic Sony characters for DLC!!! Tomba!!! Blasto!!! I read that there is a huge surprise final boss. Polygon man maybe? (Who remembers him?) I feel old? xD

[zavierkai]

The game is good but sony have to stop coping the games from nintendo.
