Damien Munoz of iGo Gaming: “Sony is ripping off of Nintendo!” “Wahh, PS All-Stars is just a complete rip off if Super Smash Bros!” Is this the problem that worries me about Sony’s upcoming brawler? Not at all.
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.
More doom and gloom...
Why I'm Not Worried about PS All-Stars
I'm an optimist.
Yeah....
I'm not worried.
Should be called 'Why I Write for Hits'
Seriously, super worried about balance is the only thing here and it's not even out yet. Makes no sense, they will probably be tweaking the balance right up until it comes out. Their team has a bunch of experienced fighting game community people on it, if anyone knows what balance is it's probably them. So dumb.
As someone who is in the beta, the article is not entirely wrong when it says that Super 3's are not worth saving up to. Right now, for some characters, Super 1's and 2's are much more effective than they probably should be. Way too easy to use Sly's Super 1 for example, and it is much more efficient than saving to a Super 3. Guys like Parappa have a worthless Super 3 because his Super 2 is much more effective and makes much more sense to use. There is no proper reward for using his Super 3: It only nets 3 kills when his Super 2 can get those 3 kills much easier, and even if you miss, you are better off retaining a Super 1 than saving it all for a Super 3.
This is something I hope SB tweaks, there are a variety of things they can do to improve this: Make Super 3's longer, make the AP it takes to get to Super 2 and Super 3 the same as it takes to get to Super 1, reward an extra point for Super 3's (maybe +3 for kill, as opposed to +2, or -2 for deaths caused, as opposed to -1).
Kratos is probably the best balanced in terms of super management-- his Super 3 is deadly and worth saving up to. That's something I dont feel like doing with the rest
