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.
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.
As long as the game is good and fun to play, I could honestly care less whether it is similar to Smash or not.
People just need to get over it already. It is not like Smash is the single only game in its genre... Konami have done.. Capcom have done it... other franchises like Digimon have done it.
It wil sell, reguardless.. ill definitely be picking up a copy for my vita... I really wish sony would take the same route with lbp karting, and make a vita version with cross play, its kinda a no-brainer, especially after the lack of features in modnation road trip (namely the fact it had no online mp)..
as far as i know, the Vita version for PS All Stars is Cross Play.
Hopefully there is another way to fight where the basic attacks do damage. Also hopefully there are maps that we can fall off the edge. Some closed stages are fine but I want open ones too. The combination of different stages is a little weird but a little cool too.
That is all most people are concerned about? That it looks like SSB.In the Golden Age of gaming with Nintendo, Sony and Sega no one cared if one thing was similar to another. Did anyone care that Battle Toads, Final Fight, Streets of Rage, TMNT 2 and every fighting game was like Double Dragon. Or the games that followed Battle Arena Toshinden like Soul Edge and Tekken or the games that followed Street Fight and MK.Or that Sony was the one who started the path to modern music games with Singstar. Or the fact that this genre existed long before SSB with Powerstone and Digimon and several other games. Is that all this stupid gen cares about? Who is following whom?
@ Capt-FuzzyPants. No there is no mode like that. The developers and many people have stated many times that there is no mode where normal attacks do killing damage. But the people who have played the game have also said that it doesn't matter. The special attack kill format works very well.
