The newest sales figures show a dreadful debut for Sony's multiplayer fighter and the Wii-U dropping down a weight class to compete with seven-year-old handhelds.
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.
Not surprising, they only had about three or four characters to appeal to Japanese audiences. They really should have at least tried to get a Yakuza or Tales of character as DLC before releasing it Japan.
The Wii U is doing okay. The sales will go up when Monster Hunter/Rayman come out. I personally have never played Monster Hunter, but I am tempted to at least rent it for a couple of days and see if I like it. Now on the flip side Rayman is beautiful and very fun (well the demo is). With very limited must have game exclusives on Wii U right now some could not justify the cost of a new system. That is all changing very shortly. I was a little shocked at 360's sales though.
Sony needs to focus on being sony.. Not mimicking nintendo with lbp karting or PSABR.. If they focused that energy into releasing Last Guardian & FF versus 13, stuff like this wouldnt happen... Nx gen will give em a fresh start but all this western appeal with shooters n stuff makes me not wana play games anymore..
Wii U is doing bad because it has nothing but recycled content to offer.. That system shouldve launched with NEW games & not 3DS/Wii games in HD.. Smash bros shouldve been ready at launch even if they had to delay the system launch.. Bayo 2 & rayman legends shouldve been complete & ready to go too
Oh dear, for both all-stars AND Wii U...
Idc what anyone says ive enjoyed Play station all stars way more than smash brothers. I like this game and it has a pretty good following with ppl that purchased it. My friends that bought it are always playing it.
Goes to show ppls taste i bought farcry3 and have only played it like 7 hours because i detest its repetition and boredom, however PS All Stars ive probably put more than 20 hours into it. Different genres of course but my point still stands (farcry 3 hyped up to death and i hate it and Ps all Stars constantly criticized and i enjoy it)
