Game Over Online: "PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale delivers some great fighting and hilarious comedy at the same time. It’s a must-have for anyone who loves the fast-paced style of fighting popularized by Smash Bros. While it would be easy to dismiss the game for being a copycat, doing so would be a mistake as the game does quite a few things differently that help it stand on its own. It’s a very well put-together game regardless of its inspiration and is worthy of at least a rental for skeptics."
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.
all these good reviews yet sony is not good at selling 1st party titles.
expect more 1st party studios to close because as M$ has shown, having a lot of 1st party titles is NOT the way to go if you want to sell consoles.
I would never have thought sony would be last in selling first party games out of the big three.
Some of the blame is on them not getting GOOD characters we want. Lara croft ,crash, cloud were just some of the characters people actually wanted. Big daddy and new dante plus the starhawk guy dont do it for us.
all that being said my drake is lvl 280 i love the game.
in the UK i havent seen a single advert on TV for this
Bad sales are due to lack of marketing, Black Ops 2, and the fact that it's a new game, not an ongoing franchise, not that some of you would understand what that it is...
140k is not horrible.. its not great. but its not bad either. Thats only the US and you need to remember that this does not include digital sales nor does it show the bundle that they sold with I believe it was the ps3 version. The game hasn't even been released in Japan yet. so thats another possible 200,000 more maybe? idk I'm not a analyst but I do now for a first entry game with a small dev team, the game has done a decent job.
