Interviewer William Kostakis writes, "With the local release of PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale a little over one month away, we caught up with game director Omar Kendall in Sydney last week to talk about character design, fan service, and yeah, the big Super Smash Bros. elephant in the room."
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.
Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it
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.
God dammit this game is gunna be fun!!
my most anticipated ps3 game this year
Yup and I wish we get beta again! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
It is going to be fun. That is the main point. I have been hearing from people who have been playing the game at the kiosk and it has been mostly positive. It is good to see that not everyone is willing simply dismiss the game and miss out because of a few characters missing that they see as essential.Heck SSB was missing a lot of characters I thought were essential like Mega Man, Fire Brand, Maximo and Simon Belmont bu7t that didn't stop me from playing it.
