IGN - PlayStation All-Stars Characters and Stages

IGN - Sony's take on Smash Bros. is a mashup of games from LittleBigPlanet to God of War. Here are the stages and characters we know about.

Can't wait to see what other stages they combine and the 3 moves each character has.

Am I the only person who things the gameplay looks way too close to smash bros? I thought Sony preferred to innovate, but this looks like a shameful rip-off. If it's an HD version of smash tho, I'm sold!

Kingdom Come4378d ago (Edited 4378d ago )

As I stated earlier: "According to Patrick Morallis, a journalist for GameTrailers.com who actually won the press tournament, and all the other GT Journalists that played it, said the game was very mediocre and that it didn't hold it's own against Super Smash Bros. (First topic on this weeks GameTrailers Invisible Walls Podcast: http://www.gametrailers.com... )"

I think it's good that we're finally getting a game like this but I wish it differentiated from Smash Bros. as it won't be able to compete and it's characters don't match the Nintendo gameplay feel...

"I think it's good that we're finally getting a game like this"
you own ps3 .. ???
that second dude didn't even recognize Radec from Killzone 2 in that ep
look at the comments in your link people are laughing at him
the guy does not have a clue about what he's talking about

THC CELL4378d ago

No body should trust the press any more look at news of the world andpeople will buy this game so you and all ya little friends and press post should just just come sit round the sony fire and sing comb by arr getting sick of little brats trying too hard to down Sony when we should all be enjoying what ever game comes out.

majiebeast4378d ago

Invisible balls.

The only good thing about that entire podcast is when Marcus and Shane get in a fight about the most meaningless things. If you want a good podcast its epic battle cry all the way, and they removed that from gametrailers. Probably because it was 10x better then invisible balls, where its 90% Shane talking before anyone else can even get a word in.

Solid_Snake374378d ago

Yeah lol "that guy from killzone"

Thatguy-3104378d ago

LOL I listened to the podcast and i dont see how sony is going after the nintendo crowd with this game?O.o these guys dont even know whats coming out of their mouth and are just talking without reasoning. This isn't your typical game that you buy just to buy. This is basically a FAN service game for FANS that grew up with the PS franchises. It's evident that some of these guys are just disturb that this game looks exactly like SSBB. At the end, it is what it is and whether it copied it or not this game looks Bad-ass!! Haters are going to hate.

Here we go again. There were games that came out before SSB's time. Going by your logic, Nintendo ripped off of those games too.

sjaakiejj4378d ago

The type of gameplay in Smash Bros is not directly connected to Smash Bros itself. The game (or whatever it was based off) defined a fighting subgenre, and whilst not a lot of games are in that subgenre, calling any game within it a "rip-off" is just silly. If you do that, you might as well start calling every platformer, RPG, First Person Shooter, Third Person Shooter and Fighter rip-offs from each other.

Besides, this game is fan-service, so it's not trying to be unique, but it's trying to give fans what they ask for.

GraveLord4378d ago

Yes the game is very similar to Smash Bros. Thatnk You captain obvious.

Us, the Playstation Community, have been asking for this game for years.

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.

CrimsonWing69519d 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.

PapaBop519d 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.

spoonard519d 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.

Magatsuhi519d 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__Merrin519d 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.

Nyxus526d ago

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

Deathdeliverer525d 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.
