gamrReview: "Ultimately, even after playing Playstation All-Stars for myself, I’m still not sure what we’re going to get from this game. There will certainly be more game modes and options in the full release, but what I got to experience in the beta was underwhelming. Hopefully the full experience will be much better when Playstation All-Stars releases this Fall."
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.
Fail!!!!!
Your opinon dude, not mine.
i loved it!
The problem with the game so far is that the PR is focusing on the 3-minute free-for-all much more than any of the other modes. I think the reverse-stock mode (first to X number of kills) would do a better job at justifying the "kills by supers only" mechanic. Among many other reasons, the time mode kind of sucks because it seems more about luck than skill, and there's less of a consequence for being hit with normal attacks.
Instead of just defining it as how well they remade Smash Bros(which he still does in a sense), he spoke about things he thought they could do better.
It seems many journalists won't allow this game to have it's own Identity. I could really use some opinions that tell me what they think this game is doing wrong on it's own merit.
This game is not a sumo ring fighter, it's a Brawler and as a Brawler I think it has the perfect formula to be as balanced and competitive as a brawler can be. If Smash Bros is a Better Party game, this game will definitely be a better fighting game, that's the difference.
I am sure the extra modes will add more bite to the game. So far we have only seen timed mode so far and according to the leaks there are many more. People have to remember that it is only a beta version of the game with limited options. It isn't even a current build of the game. You don't have all the modes, characters or weapons.
