All-Stars has a strong cult following, I'm glad to hear that they'll be receiving this patch.

BattleN3702d ago

I wonder what needs fixing, mabe balancing issues?
Since Smash is coming mabe they want to prepare for possible sales increase from those who without a nintendo console cant scratch that smash bros itch lol

XisThatKid3702d ago

Most of the comments on here are surprisingly positive. I love this game and throw monthly tournys at my house I can't wait. I hope it sees a IGC entry as well. There are so many people on the fence with this game and most people I know try it, like it.

The community for this game is very dedicated and hopefully we get some appreciation.

thejigisup3702d ago

Ok so what about real support for the game. my desire to play this game has dwindled and off like to really find a reason to come back, hopefully a next gen psabr is in the works.

BattleN3702d ago

They need to out right copy the smash bros formula tho so that it pressures nintendo to push harder and better

Plasticgearsolid3702d ago

I would not feel bad at all playing a complete copy as well. The major downside to the game for me was that it centered around power up kills and not ring outs

"They need to out right copy the smash bros formula"

I don't think they need to outright copy SSB, but I do think they should be open to being a little more derivative of SSB. A perfect example of this is Jump Super / Ultimate Stars, which has several SSB like elements, but has its own elements too.

thejigisup3700d ago

The pressure was there for a brief moment but they dropped the ball when proper support was killed off and the devs changed hands. I dont think SSM needed to take the reigns but i think psabr had a great foundation with tons of room to grow. the roster is decent and all but i mean they really just needed to go wild. Next time theyll knock it out of the park im sure.

MegaRay3702d ago

Great! Hope they port it to PS4 "I still have my PS3 but for the sales sake

goldwyncq3702d ago

A PS4 sequel would be very welcome.

LKHGFDSA3702d ago

needs a sequel to rival the next smash bros

WeAreLegion3702d ago

I don't think it matters what they do. I personally enjoy this much more than any Smash game, but people will always love Smash more. No idea why, either. The Sony characters are easier for me to like. They have better stories. They're more interesting.

crusf3702d ago

I personally love both games people need to stop comparing these two games.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3702d ago

uh maybe because you grew up with playstation

XisThatKid3702d ago (Edited 3702d ago )

You'll get crucified with talk like that but your not alone I see comments like this often. Honestly myself have nearly no interest in ANY new Smash and PSAS has Nothing to do with it. I like the Differences in the two I like the different play style. If they made it ring out there should be multiple diff modes like Super Kills, Ring Outs, Stamina or life, or even something brand new even be able to select multiple ways to kill or score.
Better netcode is my only real complaint.

WeAreLegion3702d ago

Nope. I grew up with Nintendo. When the PS1 came out, I started getting both Nintendo and Sony systems. Sony has better stories.

ShadowHarp3701d ago

A lot of nintendo's recent games have had amazing stories, highly recommend them.

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.

CrimsonWing69515d 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.

PapaBop515d 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.

spoonard515d 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.

Magatsuhi515d 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__Merrin515d 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.

Nyxus522d 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.
