PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has been a controversial game since it was first announced, as for many it represented a very cynical ploy by Sony to capitalise on a multi-million dollar franchise."
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.
has anybody seen this from joystiq?

this is just too funny
just because it plays like smash bros. with a few tweeks, and also can cross play with the vita, this game is simply overrated. theres is no way a gamer would spend countless hours to play this game. at most you would spend about 3-4hrs on this game and thats on a weekly standpoint.
heres what happens in chronological order!
1 waste money on this game
2 insert game
3 press start
4 pick a character you think can be your favorite
5 beat the single player
6 play multiplayer online
7 turn game off
8 regret getting the game
9 return the game
10 buys black ops 2
i'll give this game a 1.5/5
its smash bros no matter how you cut the cake, you can deny all you want but if you describe the game to anyone its smash bros.
dynamic background design is the only true distinction of the game. spend more than 2min fighting a character you can easily beat in 8seconds.
the game only knows repetitive! not the good practice makes perfect but repetitive as in, "i don't even want to play the rest of the game.
This game has been such a blast. I absolutely love it, although I don't think I'm that good so far :(.
I don't really know who to main though, kinda been digging Spike recently.
