"Unless Sony intended for tonight’s PS3 exclusive announcement on GT.TV to deceive the audience, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale from SuperBot Entertainment should be expected to become an official upcoming video game release tonight."

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.
Isn't every new game that comes out either a risk or opportunity? But on topic...
"Will it be a direct representation of Nintendo’s highly successful Super Smash Bros. franchise or do they have a completely original concept in place? We shall find out tonight, but regardless, there is no arguing the fact that this will either enrich the overall image of the PlayStation brand, or leave loyal fans with a bad taste that may never go away."
We'll just have to wait and see how the game is. Can't really judge it just yet (No footage, just wait until GTTV airs before you decide if you like it or not).
It is a huge risk and opportunity for them. I hope SuperBot Entertainment does an excellent job and makes it just as fun, or more fun than Smash Bros.
Every game is a risk, you guys are correct, but no other game for PlayStation has featured all of their premiere characters. If a game like Heavy Rain or Starhawk failed people would just move on, but with the entire PlayStation line up on the line, there is a lot more on the line.
i hope theres more to it than it just being a fighting game though im interested regardless.
They developed it using arcade sticks so that alone tells you it's not just some party game but that it could be competitive as well.
