Good I still want to know who is left on the roster though

Spyro, Crash, Cloud, Snake, Dart (Legend of Dragoon), Toan, Sora, Gabe Logan, Lara Croft, Abe (Oddworld) ?

Pushing for more PS1 characters

Yep, just a little 'damage control' before his twitter comment fools the innocent fans who haven't kept up as much as the more crazed ones xD It may be too late though reading the IGN comments D:

I'm pretty sure Crash is going to be unlockable since someone like Crash "Would never be DLC" and they have the Crash games on PSN too and the avatars. Characters to accommodate stages: Chimera, Emmett Graves

More likely characters: Kat, Cloud (or another Square Enix rep). Thats just a few of the many.

@tiffac, why not alternate costumes? If they are not already in the game as alternate costumes than I think DLC could fix that since they are the same character just different skins right? (For Dante)

tiffac0084220d ago

If they have Kat from Gravity Rush then I'm so totally sold.

It would be cool to have the original Dante and Solid Snake in their as unlockables too.

tiffac0084220d ago

That could work but I was going for original Dante vs new Dante with both having a different moves to really show the difference between them or something like that anyway. (I can only dream. lol!)

Complete new Dante storyline to unlock original Dante. Wouldn't that be fascinating XD

Didnt Seth Killian tease a playstation 1 character at the giant bomb live show.

Sony's PR staff got fired for a reason.

The PR for this game alone has been just bad from the start how the guys that got fired kept their job for so long blows my mind. Lets recap
-Youtube tagging incident
-Facebook leak
-Website leak

Now this Sid Shuman who is not part of Superbot saying that this is the final roster on fucking twitter of all places is just beyond retarted. If Sony fired him aswell who can blame them. he/they should have let Omar or Seth announce if this is the final roster count and on the blog not twitter.

Im still buying the game even if this is the final roster cause its just a good game even with only 5 characters in the beta.

I played the Kiosk build at my GameStop and I knew the game was addicting. I wanted it before I even played it, but after playing It just felt right (fun and addicting). I spent a good amount of time just trying to use everyone's Level 1,2 & 3 supers, play on each level with each character.

The kiosk demo didn't have many characters (4) or stages (2), but I did enjoy it. Got a few rounds in with other live players (customers). The demo gave a real prospective of what the full can will be like. Maybe it was just me, but the players didn't feel loose; They didn't go flying around as much and the characters felt like they had some weight.

If this is the final roster with others to be unlock-able or DLC, I wouldn't mind. I'm sure there will be a season pass or something to hint that there will be DLC other than the preorder character skins. I hope they patch the game to have LBP,LBP2 and LBPV costumes for Sackboy.

TronEOL4220d ago

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the case. Since at the beginning they said they didn't want to do unlockable characters, or anything really. But after they nabbed up that guy that I can't remember the name of from Capcom, it all started to change.

Just recently they said there will be TONS of unlocks, and tons to do in the game. So I'm assuming they rethought out their game plan. Which would also explain them changing their mind on announcing ALL of the characters.

They know that part of the fun, when it comes to fighting games, is unlocking secret characters, new outfits, and other things of that sort. It gives you the sense of progression. Rather than just having everything instantly, and knowing that's all you get.

But I won't get my hopes up over what the unlockable content is, I just won't be surprised by it either if it ends up being there.

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.

CrimsonWing69514d 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.

PapaBop514d 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.

spoonard514d 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.

Magatsuhi514d 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__Merrin514d 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.

Nyxus521d ago

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

Deathdeliverer520d 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.
