PlayStation All-Stars Would Benefit Off A Long Beta

PushStartSelect.com : "PlayStation All-Stars was in a private beta and should be hitting a public beta soon, and the game should be released shortly after. However with recent comments on the game, and perhaps the lack of announcements for some peoples anticipated characters, the game should have stuck in the beta stage longer. The game should have been developed and pushed along slowly, while coming together to make one big bang. Perhaps release a few smaller games to keep money in the door while they work on it."

Oh sure. It's not like businesses have schedules and deadlines and other projects to take care of. No, let's delay a whole game and sink more time and money into it and let everything else that needs attention too rot while we deal with the fact that it doesn't have a few characters that could be added later into it.Well we live in the real world not a fanboy world and as much as I am sure Sony who runs a business would like to facilitate to every crying fanboy and ignore everyone who still wants the game but reality check is that it isn't plausible to shut down or delay a whole game just because gamers b***h and moan about things and many of them before they have even tried the game. Sorry to bust your bubble but that isn't how it works. They already had to delay the game once which probably cost them a lot so saying they should slowly bring it out or delay it again or keep in beta longer is fanboy talk not real world business talk.If every game did that no game would ever come out. Bestheda would be out of business if they delayed the game for every glitch they had to fix.In business not having Crash Bandicoot is not a solid reason for stopping a game.That may sound like a good reason to many people but not to a multi billion dollar company.

Finally someone on this site with some sense. lol What people fail to realize is that this is a business first.

1. This is their first game. Don't expect them to sell $1 Million in the first week of release.

2. Buy getting rights for Crash, Spyro, Sora, Cloud cost major $$$$$. They would be digging themselves a ditch by buying these characters and then the game doesn't sell even with these characters. I would play it safe and release them as DLC. They would get their money back for buying the rights.

3. People who say "No Crash No Buy" are still going to buy the game lol

Crash Bandicoot has been dead to me since Crash 3, same with Spyro. Activision more or less raped the two franchises.

I think especially Crash is still deep within every PS gamer's heart. One of my dream announcements are definitely a new Naughty Dog Crash.

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.

CrimsonWing69521d 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.

PapaBop521d 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.

spoonard521d 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.

Magatsuhi521d 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__Merrin521d 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.

Nyxus528d ago

I wouldn't say canon. More like an easter egg.

Deathdeliverer528d 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.
