While the idea has probably been in gestation ever since Nintendo’s best and brightest decided to pummel each other’s faces, it’s the PlayStation brand which has taken up the challenge of out-brawling Super Smash Bros. Naysayers have chimed in with claims that the PlayStation brand’s heroes lack the charm, ubiquity and quantity of their Nintendo counterparts, but that didn’t stop this list being any more difficult to whittle down.
First-time developer SuperBot Entertainment have already hinted that third party characters could be making the cut, so PlayStation exclusivity isn’t a restriction on this list. On the whole, what I’ve tried to do here is make a compelling case for some of the more left-field characters that don’t come to mind as quickly as your Nathan Drakes and Sackboys of this bizarre gaming world, as well as those that have yet to appear in the crossover fighting sub-genre.
While Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale didn't get the best review, there are still some aspects of the game that deserve some credit.
Though PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale is a bit of a cult classic, it could have been a big hit if it launched in 2022 instead of 2012.
It wouldn't have mattered, Sony would've rushed it out and left it to die. More so now than before with their focus now being on SP narrative driven AAA games.
Oh, but somehow Smash Bros. 64 made it work?
It just couldn’t compete with Smash Bros. and it wasn’t a free-to-play game like Multiversus.
I think it released at the right time. It's just after the success of Smash and Multiversus, it's finally time for a sequel.
I'd be all in on a remake or remaster of the original. I enjoyed it because I didn't sit there and compare every aspect to SSB. I just enjoyed it as it was.
Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.
Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it
God of War: Ragnarok has plenty of fun references to PlayStation history, but now fans have discovered a conversation that calls back to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale — the crossover fighting game released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
It would be cool if we eventually got Smash Bros. vs. All-Stars Battle Royale (Smash Bros. X All-Stars Battle Royale, or whatever they are calling crossovers these days).
Just a thought.
Another one of these articles, we only needed 1 article on this, screw anyone who say's it's just an Opinion BS.
Id like to see Rikimuru from Tenchu and Nick Scryer from Psi Ops.
Sam Gideon from Vanquish
