Push Square: "Ever since it was announced at GamesCom earlier this year, people have pondered exactly how cross-buy for the PlayStation 3 and Vita will work. The offer has always seemed easily open to abuse, but Sony has now confirmed that the free handheld version of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will be tied to your PlayStation Network account."
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.
Sucks you can't give the Vita version to a friend, but I understand why they do that.
Can't you still cheat the system by letting a friend put it in their ps3 first? Then you have a "used" copy.
My guess is that the vita version, will have to connect to the internet every so often to validate that copy, or it'll have same approach like Sound Shapes....
Does anyone know if all PS3 copies of this game will get the Vita code? or just some?
Also, how long does the code last? I dont have a vita yet, but I may in future

"Sucks you can't give the Vita version to a friend, but I understand why they do that."
I think its because they want the PS3 buyer to eventually buy a Vita faster.
If what tndtloveu says about codes last 1 year, than there a good chance alot of those PS3 owners will buy a Vita.
