Gaming Unwrapped Writer Ryan T Writes "November 20th keeps getting closer and closer, leaving people all the more excited for Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. The title is supposed to act like a “Sony Smash Bros” of sorts, bringing the popular fighting experience to fans of Sony’s empire. Instead of getting to use cute pokemon and iconic italian plumbers, you will get to use little sacks and handsome treasure hunters..."
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.
It won't be as prominent as Tekken Tag 2 or Persona 4, but I'd be interested to see what the Smash community has to say about it.
Too simplistic for a really hardcore competitive scene, but I'm sure it'll make the rounds as an undercard type thing.
I thought EVO already had started preparing for a competitive scene.
I'm fairly sure this is being balanced as a competitive fighter with tournament play in mind, hence getting people like Seth on board and having quite a deep combo system in the game.
While at first glance it may look similar to Smash Bros, I'd say that the core fighting mechanics are definitely significantly deeper. The team working on it know what they're doing.
Its just going to be fun.. I doubt tournament fighting was adressed when making it.. They just wanted to throw in a bunch of characters from different worlds together for some comic brawling.. Ima buy it cuz it has cross buy but im also geting DOA5 or MAYBE tekken tag 2 for serious competition
