And so it begins....
Anyways, this was a pretty good review, made me laugh :D
Glad to hear the SP isnt bad. Oh and this was for the vita version :)

showtimefolks4168d ago

Fanboys will still hate on this game no matter how great reviews it gets

Anyway can't wait to play it

r214168d ago (Edited 4168d ago )

Its to be expected, hardcore Nintendo fanboys will downplay this game and continue to call it a rip off. No matter how much hate it'll receive, Im still gonna buy, play and enjoy this game :D

Fishy Fingers4168d ago (Edited 4168d ago )

Yeah, just look at all those negative fanboy posts. Thank god you were here to defend it from, them?

MaxXAttaxX4168d ago (Edited 4168d ago )

Still pretty good.

@above

That's because some people have never seen a 4-player brawler before. So they call it a rip-off, despite the game playing differently.
Haters like to ignore the fact that character mash-ups in fighting games have been around longer than the first SSB.
It's like calling every 1 on 1 2D fighting game a Street Fighter clone.

It's silly, but they'll have to learn the meaning of "genre" sooner or later.

Knight_Crawler4168d ago

You mean like how PS3,360,PC and Wii fanboys hate on:

Halo 4
COD Blk Ops 2
Zombie U
LBP Racing
Diablo 3

Yeah fanboys will always hate but end up loosing at the end as brand loyalty stops them from enjoying other great games.

This review was informative and a good read. I have 6 more hours before I'm able to pick this game up and complain about how long Its taking for my day to end before I'm able to play. I might pick up the Vita version as well and bring my Vita, so I can play when no one is looking.

Edit: I hope Sony releases a Soundtrack for this game. Just a note; The review is spoiler free. Like theres still anything to spoil, if you know who the boss is.

rezzah4168d ago

Btw is there any difference between the vita and PS3 version? I might pick it up for vita if there is.

DarkHeroZX4168d ago

just buy the ps3 version and youll get the vita version free

Nitrowolf24168d ago

buy the PS3 version, you'll get both copies taht way

rezzah4168d ago

No point in owning the vita version if they are the same. So the digital version for free would be pointless.

Thanks for you replies.

Studio-YaMi4168d ago

How is there "no point" in owning a Vita version when you can play the same game but anywhere you go ? 0_o

It's not the same thing
Vita = Portable device you can take anywhere with ease.

But if you spend most of your time at home,I would understand then.

rezzah4168d ago

I mostly play my vita in bed, just seems the most conformable to me. Like reading a book.

I've taken it outside, but would rather just listen to music.

Also because it is exactly the same game. I don't have the time to play the same game twice. The vita and Ps3 have their own games to provide me with, so I play different games at once.

Read a review?!?!? hahahahah!! (dont mean to be an ass)

NeXXXuS4168d ago (Edited 4168d ago )

I don't think he did.

fresh2death934164d ago

Me not wanting to read a video game review has nothing to do with English class...

zchay4168d ago

I agree with the score, but I would like to change 2 things

Presentation should not be an 8, the menus are bland, and should have scored a 7

NOTHING was wrong with the graphics. Graphics should only grade a game down if it looks bad. Should have gotten a 9 for graphics. It looked great, that is all that matters.

poopsack4168d ago

The menus are nothing special, but they aren't exactly bad either, plus you have many options to customize your menu to your liking along with a little gamer card that represents you online. The graphics aren't bad either and for the most part are great, but these arent pushing incredible graphics either and he stated that at times he got lost in the action when it got to hectic, which has happened to me as well. I think his score is fair.

WeAreLegion4168d ago

If you think a game has gorgeous visuals and details environments, why would you give it an 8/10 in the graphics department? I mean, really?

8.5 is good, but...why?

andibandit4168d ago

I guess it has good graphics for the type of game it is.
I dont see to many Chess games get 10's in the visual department either, altho they do look beautiful.

xursz4168d ago (Edited 4168d ago )

Fair point. i remember playing the beta and thinking "Man this looks great on the vita". And an 8/10 is 'great' after all.

Zodiac4168d ago (Edited 4168d ago )

Three 8's and a 9 actually average out to 8.25, but that is still a great score. Please change it to 8.25

rezzah4168d ago

True but at least the rounding is minimal compared to some who go up or down full digit.

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.

CrimsonWing69515d 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.

Nyxus522d ago

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

Deathdeliverer521d 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.
