Rarely does a game stick with me for negative reasons, unless it’s just an absolute travesty like Superman 64 or Duke Nukem Forever. Stranger still is when a game continues to bother me for being exceedingly mediocre, which is why I’m still bitter about PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale.
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.
I agree. I should have been for PS4! Man it would have made the PS4 launch a LOT better.
I really think that the story of PSASBR is one of the single saddest stories in gaming. It's such a charming little game, but has been treated so badly since its release :(
The problem with people is that they complained that Sony copied Nintendo's Smash Bros when PSASBR was announced. BUt when it was released and it was different from Nintendos Smash Bros people complained that it was diffrent. I dont think it ever recieved a fair chance. I'm currently still playing it online and honestly I think its a very fun game.
I wanted AS to be amazing so bad cuz i love all the playstation family of characters. But alas it wasn't as much fun as smash bros
To be realistic and a little mean here, it didn't matter what platform it could've been on, PSASBR was wrongfully created by a 3rd party dev that didn't have appropriate knowledge of PlayStation lore, and greed to advertise inappropriate new games coming out.
