playstationlifestyle.net: We received an official response from SCEA PR: "If you purchase the PS3 version of the game (at retail or digitally) you get a digital copy of the PS Vita version at no additional cost. It does not work in the opposite direction"
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.
Edit: Nevermind, just saw the confused PR email. How silly.
Wait... I see no confusion here at all. It clearly states that if you buy the PS3 version you get the Vita version and if you buy the Vita version you get the PS3 version? Am I missing something?
It was obvious from the very start.
Vita version is only 40 bucks compared to 60 dollar PS3 version.
Sony already said that Cross Buy only works when buying the PS3 version, so that guy clear doesn't know what he's talking about.
lol people would have bought the Vita version in droves if that were the case is it would be the lesser costing of the two.
The Cross buy was always promoted as buying the PS3 version of a game gets you the Vita version, not the other way around like this guy was saying.
