From the Review:
"Let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way now: Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale looks a lot like Super Smash Bros.; but simply bearing a resemblance does not make it s “rip-off”, as some have suggested. Taking the time to play this awesome mash-up showed me that All-Stars (developed by SuperBot Entertainment, SCE Santa Monica Studio and Bluepoint Games) is a lot more complex than Smash Bros. – and fun in a different way. It’s certainly not perfect; but it will keep you coming back for more – whether you are playing at home on your television, or on the go with your Vita."
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.
