PlayStation All-Stars Will Have Future DLC

PlayStation Euphoria Writes: "Recently, a rumor had spread stating that future Downloadable Content for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will not be seeing the light of day. The rumor is based on a cancellation of planned DLC for the character Abe from the PlayStation classic, Abe’s Oddssey. Recent tweet’s however indicated that while SuperBot isn’t involved with All-Stars anymore does not mean that the game won’t be supported post Kat and Emmet. Here are a couple of tweets between fans, Santa Monica, and SuperBot."

Yeah we'll see but I'm getting a feeling that they won't put much effort into it with how much they've already got going on, especially with the PS4 on it's way.

I bet we don't get many good characters we actually want

chrispseuphoria4089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

Santa Monica is interested in hiring people from the studios which got laid off by THQ (Vigil Games) and Seth Killian, who has a deep connection to fighting games, is working at the studio. I'm sure Santa Monica have enough people and talent to cover All Stars.

Donnieboi4089d ago

Any news on if they'll hire Omar Kendall? The dude helped make PSASBR so balanced and fun (which is difficult for a 4 player fighting game).

andrewf914089d ago

@DonnieBoi, unsure of that at the moment. All we know is that he's still with SuperBot.

badz1494088d ago

but the DLC is still not there on PSN! I am waiting for the DLC myself but how will it works? will it works for both PS3 and Vita version or they need to be bought separately?

TheLastGuardian4088d ago

It's a free DLC pack for both the PS3 and Vita versions. I think DLC for all cross-buy titles will always be one purchase for both versions.

I'm glad to hear there will be more DLC. I'm still bummed about Abe though. That would've been an awesome, classic character.

Gridloc4089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

I thought everything on the Internet was fact. Next thing you'll tell me is that there is no Santa Clause...

Reverent4089d ago

Nah, Santa Clause is real... But Slash isn't.

pr0t0typeknuckles4089d ago

so we still have a chance to see crash

Games4M - Rob4089d ago

You will never see Crash in this game because Crash is now owned by Activision

Reverent4089d ago

Activision is still considering letting them use him... It's very possible.

Killzoner994089d ago

Hell yah ! It's funny , I don't ever remember Smash Bros. getting any DLC. lol. That's why Playstation All Stars is the better game. Sony supports it's games after launch. Nintendon't. It's pretty much a guarantee they'll be adding Crash , Spyro and a Final Fantasy rep because they are the most requested characters. I've also heard rumors of a Classic Dante skin. I don't know how you perfect perfection but if anyone can do it , Sony Santa Monica can.

Capt-FuzzyPants4089d ago

As much as I love Sony, I still cringe at the amount of fanboyism some people have. This game was good, but it definitely wasn't perfect, whether you compare it to SSB or not.

chrispseuphoria4089d ago

I don't think Smash Bros or All Stars trump each other. I both find them fun. DLC doesn't make the game better, it lengthens its timespan.

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.

Deathdeliverer521d 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.
