Chris Penwell and Jordan Slo give an insightful look on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and why it should be supported. Brand protection, lack of clarity, fan support, the broken nature of the game and false promises are discussed.
NOTE: This conversation took place before the Gravity Rush stage/Menu Designs were leaked.
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.
I didn't get the chance to play it online.
My internet speed suck :(
Yea its the best "Smash Bros clone" made to date great replay value it's great party fighter like its spiritual predecessors. Easy to play hard to master kind of thing, great game of strategy and decision making on high levels.
It deserves support and potential sequel don't with care and more thought get the kinks out. It'll be a given that the roster will have more fan favs and such keep The scoring system maybe add some more no percentages IMO. There is still much to come from this game if given the proper support. It's very passionate and avid fan base and community will greatly appreciate it. But still cry about everything lol. LET PSAS LIVE!!!!
or at least an entry in the PS plus IGC for so many potential buyers that was on the fence about it. Best played with friends and not online anyway but nline isn't as bad as people say.
I think I'ma play right now...
Would love to see another balance patch and more so a sequel that's given the attention the original game should have had.
Should be free to play with more characters unlocked by buying them
Would do a lot better if it were advertised as free for all PS gamers and lots of people would end up buying more characters
I'd love to see a sequel, even though I don't own a PS3, just to see what they can do knowing what they did wrong, what people want, and knowing there is a devoted fanbase
As fun as it is, the original Smash Bros was never perfect, it was unique, fun and had 12 characters you loved. With Melee and Brawl you could tell Smash Bros was a legitimate franchise. Hopefully the devs for All-Stars get the same support Nintendo gave HAL
