Pre-Order PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale Now on PSN

From AnalogHype.com: "It's coming, with only seven days left until PlayStation All-Stars retail and PSN release in the US, Sony has put the game up for pre-order on PSN. If you go to the PlayStation Store and search "PlayStation" you should find it quickly. Simply click on the game, then add the game to your cart."

how so? This will be the second midnight release for a day one digital release. If Sony was really stressing mid-night releases, we would CoD Black Ops 2, AC3, etc mid-night on the PSN. Hell they should let you predownload the game before midnight and you can play it at 12:01 like on Steam.

Read the article. I stated that COD Black Ops Declassified had a midnight release today. Before that we had Assassin's Creed 3 and Liberation. Then we had Mass Effect 3. And supposedly RE6 or Dishonored, but I'm not sure about that.

sdozzo4174d ago

Midnight release is cool because we know when it will actually hit. Currently, the store updates for me between six and ten PM. I like exact times.

Canary4174d ago

If by "stressing" you mean "finally getting around to doing them with a handful of select titles."

I mean, sure, it's nice to see them finally start emulating Steam. I just wish they'd started with decent sales and discounts before jumping to midnight releases and preloading.

-Mika-4174d ago

That cool that the game will be available at midnight. I hope sony does that for more of the day 1 releases.

TronEOL4174d ago

This is a good thing! I've been waiting to hear about this, to see whether or not the pre-order costumes would be included.

So I canceled my pre-order from EBGames and ended up pre-ordering it on the PSStore. Saved me about $8 in the process.

sdozzo4174d ago

Sadly, I think this title will flop. Love SONY but this has been so so since the beta. We like nintendo characters because we've been around them since the beginning of time. These guys... Just don't have the same feel.

r214174d ago

Then its not your game...but for the thousands, if not millions, of PS fans out there who've played games from PS1 to PS3, this is their game :D I will be gladly buying this game day 1!

dafegamer4174d ago

"Well thats just like your opnion Dude"

one2thr4174d ago (Edited 4174d ago )

Says the guy that probably haven't played the beta, but will probably claim to have played. Well I will be buying this game day one for PS3 and Vita (cross buy).... Btw I played the crapout ofthe beta and only played with the same people 2 times and one of those people were due to a 2Vs2 invite, so there are people interested in this game but it being a complete flop is hard for me to see... And thst coming from a guy, that can whoop a55 with Link, kirby, and mario on any smash bros... Bro, so good day.

I played the beta, but it wasn't great. It seems like a nice game. But, you can't really think this will crush sales.

DrDeath4174d ago

HAHA i grew up with playstation not Nintendo. i mean ya it was there but playstation was where it was at. Twisted Metal with friends? Sweet tooth is my main for this game. I barely know the Nintendo characters. sure everyone knows and played mario on Gameboy but please.

smashcrashbash4173d ago

I grew up with many PlayStation characters like Parappa, Spike and Sir Dan and Nintendo wasn't here 'since the beginning of time as you put it'. There characters much older then Nintendo's own. This is for the 150 million people that owned PlayStation systems.How quickly people forget that many modern gamers were introduced to gaming by PlayStation systems.Just because people try to reject them as best as they could people still remember them. Haven't you seen the tons of lists people had for PlayStation characters. They still want them.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Launched 10 Years Too Early

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.

CrimsonWing69514d ago

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.

PapaBop514d ago

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.

spoonard514d ago

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.

Magatsuhi514d ago

Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.

Father__Merrin514d ago

Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it

God of War: Ragnarok Weirdly Makes PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Canon

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.

Nyxus521d ago

I wouldn't say canon. More like an easter egg.

Deathdeliverer520d ago

That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
