The Japanese branch of Sony Computer Entertainment today revealed a new release date, as well as the discounted PSN prices, for “Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale” in Japan.
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.
January 31, 2013 in Japan!
Why? Surely this would have done better if released at Christmas. Perhaps Sony think the games will get more traction after the Wiiu launches?
Thats quite a delay 0_o wonder why...
That sucks for Japan maybe Sony delayed it because the Japanese version will get a free extra character like Cloud which would be DLC for everybody else.
Also Wow big price difference between physical from digital copies.
