Rumor | Ryu Hayabusa in All-Stars, New Rivalry & Box Art Leak For PS All-Stars! + Sackboy

iGG: Looking around on the PS All-Stars forums, I came across a few surprises. Several users managed to make out a few leaks and get tidbits of information for PlayStation All-Stars after SuperBot updated the game’s official website. Unfortunately, the website was reverted back to normal after the information got out, but we do have some screens for you!

[iXenon]

Sony and Superbot just can't catch a break, huh?

[SoundGamer]

Well, if this stuff was on the official website, it's their fault anyway.

[showtimefolks]

Raiden also in

If all the leaks before and now this are true than its a great roster and I think will only grow as the release date nears plus I think some of the 3rd party ones might be as dlc

[Nimblest-Assassin]

Scythe? I think that's the new Dante, not Ryu

The third party's are bugging me, because it seems like they are promoting their new games. New Dante, why not an established character like Jill valentine or classic Dante? I have no problems with raiden, but why is mgr raiden the default? Hell why not mgs4 raiden... Or naked or old snake? Characters who are established as ps all.stars

Super bot is doing a great job with first party, but the third party's are really milking the game to advertise

The box art looks great though... But the uk one looks pretty bad... Hopefully they get a good one too

[Andreas-Sword]

I hope, there will be also Ryu Hayabusa!

[jonboi24]

whats the big difference between mgs4 raiden and mgr raiden? seriously they can easily make that an alternative costume. and don't blame super bot for the third party character roster, they don't have the final word. if there is anyone to blame than blame the 3rd parties. its the same thing with the marvel roster in marvel vs capcom 3 and marvel having the final word.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

@jonboi24

The difference is mgs4 is already out... And mgr is not

Sure, mgs4 raiden is going to be a costume... That's given... But mgr is not established as a playstation game yet

Thats my problem with mgr raiden and new Dante....instead of using established models.. They are using ones playstation gamers are not familiar with

I understand that superbot has no say in what they get.... And that's why the third party's are bugging me

[sinncross]

Honestly I care less which model we get. As long as the likes of Raidin and Dante are fun to play as that is all that ultimately matters.

[admiralvic]

I think we can all agree Capcom went overkill on Biohazard characters in MvC 3, We had Jill, Wesker, Chris and Tyrant... so honestly I am quite happy to see someone else from them. Additionally All Stars doesn't need another gun user.

[Larry L]

@ Nimblest

While I think you're correct about the scythe being new Dante's, not Ryu's. I completely disagree about your content criticism. New Dante is only going to be the default costume. It makes sense. For Capcom to allow All Stars to use Dante, it's obvious there would be a clause to that, which would be the main default costume would have to be the design from the new game.

But whether you like new Dante design like me, or dislike him like other gamers commenting on the internet seem to, that's no reason to complain about him being in PlayStation All-Stars because SuperBot already confirmed that every character will have at least 3 alternate costumes. 2 unlockable in the game, and 1 for each character in the game for pre-orders.

So with at least 3 alternates, at least 1 of them is going to be "Classic Dante" and another will probably be "Virgil". And the pre-order costume will be something weird, crazy and out of left field.

So spread the word to other people like yourself complaining that it's Emo Dante in the All-Stars character leak. These people are forgetting each character has 3 costumes.

[Knight_Crawler]

Did you ever stop to think that maybe Sony are not paying to use the 3rd party charaters...if this is the case then Super Bot cant just say we want to use this version of your charater.

[sikbeta]

Ryu Hayabusa join Big Daddy in the "WTF they got to do with PlayStation legacy!?" why them and not Kazuma Kiryu at least!? :/

[TheLastGuardian]

WTF does Big Daddy have to do with PlayStation? Let's see, he's been in two PlayStation 3 games and may possibly be in the PlayStation Vita exclusive BioShock game.

Are you forgetting that Bioshock 1 had PS3 exclusive challenge rooms DLC and that BioShock lnfinite is getting Bioshock 1 on disc, 3D and Move support all exclusive to the PS3 version?

BioShock is more of a PlayStation series than it is a PC or Xbox series even if the original did come to PS3 a year later. Big Daddy is a badass character and would be awesome to have in a fighting game. It makes perfect sense for him to be in PlayStation All-Stars.

[majiebeast]

3 Tekken characters rumour has been debunked by Clockw0rk on neogaf.

[KingOptimusOrigin111]

I can't wait to pick this up day one. I hope Old Solid Snake makes it in.

[TheFallenAngel]

DLC for sure if not in the game.

[KingOptimusOrigin111]

That would be sad and a money grabbing on the part of Konami. I would pay for it but that would be unfair considering Snake is a PlayStation legend next to Kratos & Drake.

[ginsunuva]

Here's the dillema: he's a playstation legend. But he would kinda suck to play as. Imagine him and his slow walking, no jumping, aching back, with a few guns and a cardboard box.

He should 100% be at least a background cameo, though.

[user5467007]

Ryu Hayabusa ...hopefully not

Give us some PS1 classics Sony, not characters I couldn't give a crap about.

Urgh...Raiden is in this...we want Old Snake, come on Sony.

I guess that leak was right then...means New Dante is going to be in this.

Does anyone feel like third party wise this is going to turn into a promotional thing to promote developers new games. Funny how it's ones fans arn't sure about

Raiden - Metal Gear Rising
New Dantes - dmc reboot
Kat (minion) - dmc reboot

[HammadTheBeast]

I'm not too sure about the roster either. Way too many third party characters I couldnt give two sh*ts about. Also, fan favourites of third party characters are missing, like old snake, old Dante.

And I dont see Dart from Legend of Dragoon either...

[user5467007]

I know right

I think the worst thing about these leaks is that they will still reveal Sackboy at Gamescon for example even though we already know it's coming. Kind of like how they leaked Big Daddy and Drake before E3 yet still announced them.

I think they should just come out now, confirm/deny the characters, show them off and then release some new info at the next games event.

I just can't believe that they would include Raiden when people mostly remember Snake because of Metal Gear Solid on the PS1, hell it's not even Raidens PS2 design it's Metal Gear Rising (promotional?) or new Dante...they know for a fact people hate the new Dante so why included him. I know it's "Well it was him or nothing" but they could of rejected Capcoms deal and include another First part character instead....I mean it's Capcoms loss.

[jonboi24]

@HammadTheOne maybe some other people give two sh*ts about the third party characters announced/leaked

[HammadTheBeast]

Yes, but not many people care about the "new" versions.

[admiralvic]

@Mike

they confirmed the leak a while back, so they're doing that at least.

[Reverent]

At the risk of taking crap from people, I LOVE the MGR Raiden look and I'm super excited to see him in the game.

[TBM]

For those people complaining about the roster especially 3rd characters how about you come up with the money to pay those companies. if those companies say no for a particular character what the hell do u expect Sony to do throw millions of dollars at them just for a simple character?

also how about you people show some damn patience and wait for superbot to reveal the final roster total. man I've never seen so any entitled gamers this generation.

if u want certain characters buyout the company and tell superbot to put in whatever characters you want.

patience people, freaking have some.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

Don't blame Sony or superbot.... Blame the third party's. Superbot can't choose who they get... The third party's choose who they get.

And yeah, it feels like the third party's are using the game to advertise... The only third party characters I am fine with are raiden and big daddy... The rest are meh

[Cryptcuzz]

I am surprised no one from Assassins Creed is in this as a third party character.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

All of these third party character reveals/leaks keep disappointing me.

The only 3rd party character I'm OK with is Raiden. The rest I want replaced with more PlayStation iconic third party characters.

[Omar91]

@mike all i see you do is complain about this game... I can't imagine how you would be if they announce that crash and spyro are not in the game..

Theres still a few characters to be revealed and you guys are complaining? who knows we might get some more iconic characters later on in the upcoming months. this doesn't mean that there will be no ps1 characters.

[user5467007]

If you've actuallu read my posts in the past ive done nothing but praise this game and defended it from the copycat remarks.......but im not going to pretend to be happy when theres something wrong with the game.

Dont be blind man, no game is perfect. If you want something changed you have to voice your opinion on it. Besides im seeing a lot more worse comments on here about this game

[Omar91]

and I get it, I agree with you about the whole character roster so far. But its something that is already final with superbot, and theres not much that can be done. yes we can voice our opinions of the characters but superbot already has there roster and I doubt they will change that.

what Im trying to say is theres still plenty of more characters to be announced. you don't know whats snakes role in this game. he could very well be a character in the game, new dante can just be a skin. We need to trust superbot. Im sure they know we want more iconic characters. this is after all a "playstation" made game.

[sobekflakmonkey]

Raiden? Fuck Raiden, what about Cyborg Ninja? I think he deserved to be in that game more than Raiden does, and if anything Raiden should be an alternate for Cyborg Ninja.

Another thing, I'm gonna say for the record, I think the new DMC Dante looks pretty bad ass, BUT were talking about a game called "Playstation ALLSTARS" Dante from the first DMC should be default, and new Dante should be an alternate, and don't get me started on all these random ass characters like the big daddy, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Bioshock an Xbox360 and PC exclusive for the longest time, and didn't see a release on PS3 for another year or so after it released on Xbox...I mean, I like Bioshock...but WHAT THE FUCK is the big daddy doing in this game?

[Cryptcuzz]

It is because the Bioshock guys have been very supportive of Playstation as of late.

This is Sony way of appreciating their business relationship.

Sony: Hey guys, thanks for all the support recently!

Bioshock guys: No problem! I am sure you guys would take care of us!

Sony: We got a super secret game we are working on and you have an upcoming Bioshock game to be released, how about we help you help us by having Big Daddy in the game!?

Bioshock guys: Aweseome! Not only can we build hype and promotion for our upcoming game by doing this, you guys would be getting exposure to our fans as well!

Sony: No Sh*t! So you in bro daddy!??!

Bioshock guys: Only if you agree to carve our names on the tree trunk over there and do another friendship pact!

[Christopher]

If it helps promote games and gives people more to experience with characters that they like, I don't see the issue.

Sure, you may not get all the characters you want, but be happy for what you can get. Especially if they continue to just grow the roster over time with new games.

Also, I don't think they want to, pardon the phrase, shoot their load by revealing all first-party options right out of the gate. I believe they are going to hold off on as much as they can as DLC for the game or mini-expansions for it via PSN.

[Lord_Sloth]

Just because Raiden's in this doesn't mean Snake is not. I'd say if any franchise is worthy of 2 reps, it's MGS.

[-Alpha]

Have to assume some of these are minions. Can't imagine 3 Tekken characters taking up the main slots

[iXenon]

Tekken Battle Royale?!

[jukins]

i can see it. seeing as how sony and namco were best friends when it came to tekken in arcades as well as on consoles up until this gen.

[VanillaBear]

They better not waste three character slots on Tekken. As MikeCosgrove has said above why not just do more first party characters instead if they can't get the third party characters they want. It wouldn't be as bad having more then one character from a recent Sony franchise, it is there first fighting game I would give them the benefit of the doubt.

If it does well then the developers who wouldn't give Superbot what they wanted will give them it when they do a sequel because the game was succesfull

[TheFinalEpisode]

What 3? This leak hints Jin might be in it and Heiachi is confirmed that's only 2 or is there a rumor for another Tekken character?

[kingofe3]

Kazuya as well.

[TheFinalEpisode]

Oh ok now I saw it in the alternate source, but I doubt they would put 3 Tekken characters and not other possible secondary characters like Dr. Nefarious, Quark, Zeus, Nix or Quo and two MGS characters (Raiden and Snake if the rumors are true) so if they are in fact putting 3 Tekken characters it might be good news!

[OllieBoy]

Ryu vs. Dante vs. Kratos vs. Nariko

The action genre would be well-represented, for sure.

[Krimmson]

Battle of the Hack 'n Slashes.

[HammadTheBeast]

I see an Assassin, maybe Altair or Ezio in the background beside Nariko as well. Or it might just be the new one, Connor, I think,

[WeskerChildReborned]

So is evil Cole gonna take up a spot?

[chrispen9]

in inFAMOUS 2, Evil Cole has a completely different move set to Good Cole for the majority of the game. At the end, you can use the powers from both sides with either good or evil. It depends how they go about it.

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Maybe they could have a button where you can switch forms. Kinda like Zelda and Sheik or Pokemon Trainer. Maybe each side of Cole could have advantages and disadvantages.

[Reverent]

Capt-FuzzyPants, I didn't even think about that. That would be such a smarter decision.

[MrMister]

I'd hate for evil Cole to take up a whole spot since the other Cole takes one up He should just be a color swapped version with updated "evil" moves. Save the slot for an actual "other" character.

[chrispen9]

I agree completely.

[prototypeknuckles]

i like ryu but hes more of an xbox character so fail
and if youre going to get third party characters pick characters that are being requested like rayman, the prince of persia, crash, spyro, cloud strife

[Afterlife]

I agree with Ryu H being in is fail, wtf were you thinking Superbot?
Then again it will be funny to see Ryu vs Heihachi. Because Itagaki hates Tekken.

If Crash and Spyro are not in, blame Activision not Superbot.

[jonboi24]

so wait are you saying that people weren't requesting some of the characters that were leaked? i sure as hell wanted robo-raiden. rayman isn't really a sony character either more of a atari jaguar character. and i'm sorry sony doesn't get the final word on which third party character is on the roster, its up to the 3rd parties so if you're going to complain, complain to the 3rd parties.

[prototypeknuckles]

who requested 3 tekken characters, peolpe have asked for rayman because all though he was never exclusive he was synonymous with the ps1, i dont even need to explain crash and spyro, thats a broken record, and superbot asks for these charaters to be in they can say no to 3 tekken characters.

[Shepherd 214]

Ninja gaiden was an original xbox exclusive but since the other games were on ps3 it makes sense, I guess.

[colonel179]

There is going to be a lot of people disappointed by the final roster, although I am more worried about the number of character that there will be.

I think that this game will be just a test to see how it does and there will definitely be another one on the PS4, with more characters (and from PS4's new IPs). I think that the game has to sell and establish before third party let Sony use their characters.

All in all, I think it will be a fun game and great to play with friends. Just like SMB, I hope one day there are more that 50 characters and have a lot of stuff.

[Krimmson]

I made some images if anyone wanted a better look at Kazuya, Jin and Ryu.

[colonel179]

It's a disappointment that they put 2 tekken characters in the game when Sony has mucho more characters to choose from. Also, if the rumors of having two Coles are true, then I will start doubting Superbot's ability to negotiate rights.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

Wow so that settles it! I am very disappoint in the third part line up.

[Reverent]

They seriously need to lose the other 2 tekken characters. I'm fine with Ryu though, at least he's a badass that will bring more melee to the game.

[ProjectDeputy]

and kazuya isnt ? lol ...

[Chapulin]

Now just give me a Killzone level and Im good.

[user5467007]

Right that does it.....

If anyone actually gives a a crap about this game please, PLEASE get onto the PS forums and tell Superbot off. That is ridiculous, id rather have Sully from Uncharted or another character from Killzone

[Christopher]

I think you're over reacting more than a bit on this.

[Afterlife]

Uncharted 2 is one of my favorite games, even I don't want Sully in this game.

[R_aVe_N]

There is nothing wrong with the characters dude you need to chill abit. All these characters have been part of Playstation for a long time and the studios have worked close with Sony over the years. I am glad to see those characters in there really. My guess is Sony went to each publisher and asked what characters they could use and that is what they were able to. As far as Crash and Spyro you might not ever see them due to Activision most likely wanting a cut of the game profits to use them lmao. I would be disappointed if I dont see Cloud in the game though but we will most likely get stuck with Lightning.

[TheFinalEpisode]

If there are multiple Tekken characters then there probably are multiple characters from other franchises. So this might be good news

[Afterlife]

I know some people don't like Kazuya and Jin being in but I like it. Great news to me.

[jonboi24]

as a tekken fan i love it, though how different can they make heihachi and kazuya. they have some similar moves. though devil jin and devil kazuya would be awesome to play as.

[kingofe3]

Man this roster is a whole damn mess, no Crash or Spyro, the Bad Dante, two coles and 3 tekken characters?

[GearSkiN]

Ryu Hayabusa? his not even a Sony Character. thats dumb.

[Bahamut-Shin]

neither is big daddy

[GearSkiN]

yup. character choices in this game is so random...

[xXBlondieVanHarlowXx]

*facepalm* Oh sorry i was under the impression it said Playstation All-stars NOT Sony exclusive All-stars.. Geezus f***king christ you freaking whiny trolls come in packs. Which assembly line did you come from again?

[DirtyLary]

Something is odd. Why would a professional company just copy paste the art from previous games and not use their own artists who are re-imaging these characters into their artistic style of the game...seems fishy, really amateurish.

[Omar91]

very good point

[izumo_lee]

With these multiple 3rd party characters like the ones from Tekken could the roster of this game be huge?! Superbot never confirmed how many characters will be in this game, they said more than 20 (30,40,50 are more than 20). They said they will fit as many as they can on the disc, so if they use the 50GB dual layer Bluray than man this roster could be massive.

I do not understand the blame on Superbot for some of these 3rd party characters, if there are questions to be asked it should be directed to the 3rd party publishers that are using this game to promote new games allegedly. If classic Playstation characters like Crash or Spyro are not in this game than it will be a great injustice to long time fans of Playstation that gave birth to these iconic characters.

[Bowzabub]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 32. Also, I would like to see War and Death from the Darksiders.. Mmm.

[colonel179]

21 is also more that 20, so until the full roster is confirmed, everything is speculation. I really hope there are much more than 20 (as you put it, 30, 40, 50); because if the roster ends at less than 30, and there are 3 tekken characters, and 2 coles, it will be the worst roster for a fighting game (specially this kind of game).

[jokia005]

i wished Ryu comes to PSAS
so now im happy
hope its real
honestly i want more characters from Japanese game.

[Bowzabub]

Would love homeboy from Onimusha too..nice to counter Ryu with.

[Roccetarius]

You know, the amount of third party characters in the game is impressive. It's almost like there wasn't enough characters.

[Sevir]

Its just weird.... characters like Dante and raiden fit well but I want to see mascots that made PlayStation, PlayStation. So gex, ratchet, crash, Jersey devil, ICO, wanderer, sephiroth, cloud, Vivi, sora, ansem... ugh what ever. Still getting it.

[TronEOL]

Wow, I've been mostly positive about this game, but I'll be waiting for a more "complete" character roster before I buy. I was originally gung-ho on pre-ordering, but like I said, I'll be waiting.

If it's full of new third party characters that were born this generation and available on multiple consoles, I won't be buying it.

When I think Playstation All-stars, I'm thinking PLAYSTATION All-stars. Not PSWii60 All-stars. May as well add Master Chief, Mario and put it on all consoles while they're at it.

[R_aVe_N]

The only third party character I see that was born this gen is Big Daddy. The rest are from long standing franchises (so far at least)

[Bowzabub]

Hey, your name gave me an idea.. Put Tron in it too. XD

[smashcrashbash]

Good God how can anyone even see anything on this tiny picture. I am squinting and I don't see Ryu at all. People of this gen are such lynch mobs. They see some tiny little picture that you can barely see anything and start making wild speculations. We have so many first party characters all ready and people are going crazy because of a few third party characters they may or may not like.Calm yourselves for goodness sake. You see this is why people say Sony fans the worst? Nintendo made horrible choices in characters and no one made as big a fuss as you are making. Snake and Sonic had NOTHING to do with Nintendo and now the developer of the the next SSB is thinking of using non Nintendo characters in the next game. I'll bet the Nintendo people will still be buying it. You have twenty something plus characters to use. Don't use the ones you don't like. I never used Marth, Ice Climbers or Game and Watch in SSBB. Calm down. Unlike the other game we can still get more characters later even if we don't get all the ones we want now.

[R_aVe_N]

I agree it is not really a big deal to me there is no way they can please everybody with the characters it is pretty much impossible. There does need to be more female characters though that is something the game is lacking a lot. I think that would be my only complaint so far.

[kingofe3]

Nothing to do with Nintendo?

Metal Gear started on the NES and Solid Snake appeared on the Gamecube, so there is some history right there.

Sonic on the other hand was a rival to Mario for years back in the Sega vs Nintendo days. People always wanted those two duke it out.

[BigBoss1964]

lol Metal Gear did not start on the NES it began on the MSX2, the NES version was a port and a very bad one at that

[Quadrostacker]

There's only one character that I think should really be in this and that's Crash

[Omnislash]

Way too many Tekken Characters. Im not buying it at this point unless they put some REAL characters in there, like Cloud and/or Dart... They should add some older Sony era characters...

[kanetheking]

so tekken is not real but cloud is how stupid is that

[Omnislash]

Im not saying Tekken isnt real... However I will say that Edward Cullen err I mean Dante isnt.
I want some REAL older gen Sony characters that made the playstation what it was.

[kanetheking]

i don't know how edward acts so yer, stop with all this real crap all you want is the characters you want and if others you don't like get in you come up with this real thing,

[supremacy]

They need more 1st party characters, not a marketing tool. I want to see...

1.Minamoto Yoshitsune-Genji
2.Blasto
3.Dart feld-Legen of Dragoon
4.Jennifer Tate-Primal
5.Ico-Ico
6.Rudy Roughnight-Wild arms
7.Gabe Logan-Syphon filter
8.Lil&Laarg-Escape Plan
9.Artemis-Dark Mist
10.Leonard-White Knight Chronicles
11.Simian-Eyepet
12.Emmit Graves-Starhawk
13.Toan-Dark cloud
14.Kat-Gravity Rush

Give me that list Sony, show me and the rest of the world you own properties by the numbers. Not association. Now, this isnt a diss or any shot against Sony or this game, just an expression based on an observation.

[Killustrious]

It's kind of ridiculous how much people are complaining about this games roster but we don't officially know more then about 15 characters on it. Calm down and stop jumping to conclusions. Raiden and Dante are badass additions to this game, who cares if it's the new Dante? Chances are he's gonna have alternate costumes from old DMC games anyways.

Anyways, on a real note, a few characters I'd LOVE to see on this roster are:

Hotsuma (Shinobi(PS2)
Old Snake(MGS4)
Wander (SotC)
Cloud/Sephiroth (FFVII) or Squall (FFVIII)
Sora (KH)
Raziel (Soul Reaver)
Connor (AC3)
Chimera Nathan Hale (end of Resistance 2)
Alucard (Castlevania:SotN)

.....if all of those people were in this game, this would honestly be the best fighting game roster ever. Period. I'd waaaaay rather have Hotsuma over Ryu Hayabusa. Shinobi is much more synonymous with PlayStation then Ninja Gaiden anyways

[THamm]

Hotsuma (Shinobi(PS2)

Definitely, how the heck SEGA had the first uber-cool ninja in traditional/futuristic japanese/military setting yet managed to let it die out is beyond me.

[Ezetta]

I really want Commander Shepard (with female Shepard as an alternative skin, and maybe some random appearances?), and Connor (with Altair and Ezio as skins). Monkey and Trip from Enslaved would be cool, but I don't think that's going to happen. And I'm dying for a Colossus from SotC as a stage. Imagine - fighting on a Colossus!

[ProjectDeputy]

kratos in the middle like a boss ^^

[ProjectDeputy]

http://community.us.playsta...

if that image is true then expect 8 more characters
Lets hope most of them are sony brand

glad nariko made it,that character deserve credits and a second chance with a heavenly sword 2,i hope santa monica or something will take the franchise.

[Larry L]

I think you're missing the [previous] and [next] buttons in that image. There will be more than 20 characters.

[Rhezin]

Oh my god Ryu? This is a cemented 2X completely day 1 buy if thats true.

[Commodore]

He doesn't even belong in this game. If he's a PS All Star, well the ****...I'm old

[thwolf94]

I think that's Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza series between the scythe guy and big daddy.

[CADmanjules]

Am I the only one who sees Gex to the left of Nariko?

[Loki86]

Let's take multiplat characters and throw them in as well. Ryu and Big Daddy are just the start, wow just wow. Go steal every character that was on xbox first, Master Chief, Shepard, Fenix all in trouble I guess now too.

[Tsukuyomi]

Shit just got real

[Commodore]

Ninja Gaiden? Really? He's a playstation all-star? They are picking some dumb characters. Colonel Radec also? That dudes been in like a total of 2 PS games. Some All-Star.

This is more of a "buy your characters into this game" all stars.

At least all the characters in Smash Bros were well known. PS3 Owner BTW.

[DigitalRaptor]

All? Ice climbers, marth, R.O.B, olimar, ike, Lucas, Roy.

Yeah... so well known.

[Commodore]

I'm talkin the original...no one cares about that Gamecube garbage game.
