GR: "The minute I first got wind that Sony would be bringing us a brawler in the vein of Super Smash Bros., I knew instantly that this would inevitably be a terrible decision for the company. Now don't misunderstand me, I'm not adverse to the game because it rips off Nintendo's popular brawler. I am against the concept because Sony simply can't pull it off."
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.
"I am against the concept because Sony simply can't pull it off"
^ I feel like this is exactly what people said in like 1993 when the company announced it was going to make a game platform.
Come on we heard all this before.We heard the whole 'Sony can't pull it off' story. And Nintendo can pull it off simply because they are Nintendo. No matter how hard you try to convince anyone SSB characters didn't mix well either. You pretend that they do but watching Jiggly Puff and Kirby fight Snake or Samus or Ganon never fit well at all. It is as strange as Sly and Parappa fight Drake and Kratos. If you ever played SSB at all many characters were twice as big as others like King Koopa and some practically miniscule compare to others.It is just the fanboy delusion that the characters fit well together in SSB while they didn't really at all.
And don't tell me that they did. I played SSBB all the time and it never escaped me how awkward fighting Ness was with Samus and Marth. And BTW i would like to again point out that many characters in Nintendo's line up are characters not used in decades and that despite fanboy delusions several of Sony characters are well known like Parappa,Sir Dan,Spike,Heihachi and Sweet Tooth? Am I the only one who remembers that hundreds of millions of people owned PlayStations back then and that many modern gamers still remember these people and that many modern gamers haven't a clue who Marth, Ness,Pit,Ice Climbers, ROB or Mr Game and Watch are?
More people probably know who Sly,Jak and Ratchet are more then they know who Ness and Ice Climbers are. Just because Nintendo dug them from out of their basement after not using them for twenty plus years doesn't make them relevant. Sony has modern relevance on their side. Nintendo has to dig up the distant ancient past just to fill out their roster
Great. I'd love to tell you about all the games I'm not interested in, but I'm not interested enough to bother.
And also like has been said time and time again it would be simple as mashing buttons to get a super attack IF people stood still and just let you hit them but between rolls, guard breaks, dodges and other assorted moves it is not that simple. You also have to avoid being hit or destroyed or else you will still lose in the end.People still talk as if all you have t5o do is press a few buttons and you automatically win. Do you really think that that your opponents will just allow you to do this. Also how is this so much different then SSB? Besides falls and certain weapons you couldn't knock anyone away unless you used a smash attack. So how is it any different from pushing the attack button as fast as you can to get a 100% to do a smash?
I think the game is gonna be good. I dont think it'll sell as well as i hope though
