Ian Fisher writes: Without delving deep into the battle there is between the fanboy factions of Sony and Nintendo, I just find it interesting to see how people perceive something to be a clone and what they deem to be acceptable, even if it is essentially a clone of a popular game. Obviously the verdict is out on whether PlayStation All-Stars will be a quality product since the full details on the project haven’t been revealed, but to some people the fact that it “copies” the Smash Bros. formula is enough to turn them off or simply come to the realization that Sony is in some cases creatively bankrupt.
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.
This , last of us, im excited for.
Only time will tell whether the quality will determine it to be good or not but the Sony community response to this has been very interesting. I remember Dante Inferno taking a pounding for being inspired by GoW. I have no problem with this because more competition breeds better games and almost all games are inspired by others but hypocrisy runs deep in the gaming industry.
I wonder if nintendo will start cloning Sony's first party games now.
Just gonna say this...just because nintendo put mario into a lot of sports and spin offs early does not mean they own that game type
Isn't this just a good way of showing off your exclusive characters?
