Where’s the PlayStation All-Stars Review?

IGN - Tuesday, the wait is over. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale arrives in North America, and you get to tear it apart – to climb the leaderboards as your favorite character and leave the competition broken in your path.

Review scores are really meaningless to me, I loved the beta so I dont need to wait for reviews to get my copy tomorrow

Godchild10204174d ago

Same. 9 O'clock in the morning I'll be at the store and then off to work as usual.

blitz06234174d ago (Edited 4174d ago )

I got a shipment confirmation already but I have to wait til 7pm tomorrow to play it cause of work :(

As for IGN's review... Don't really care what they give it, but I expect somewhere between 80-85. The impressions of most websites on the Beta didn't sound so good though, and if the final product is similar to it, the reviews won't look good. Won't matter to me though, as I thoroughly enjoyed the beta.

chukamachine4174d ago

Sorry godchild, i'm going to have to let you go.

But it's all good, you'll have more time for your gaming:)

Pre-ordered mine:)

The_Con-Sept4174d ago

Screw the review I just want the game... And this website isn't giving me the game so why waste my time on it cause I want it now!

b_one4173d ago

Yeah, but when they hit, good or bad, that's when the flamewars start.

Kind of odd Ign's asking a question they themselves could answer.

What's really damn suspicious - and I'm saying this as a PS3 "supporter" - is that they're holding special event and *then* seem to be putting up their review. Really can't see them saying its a bad game under those conditions.

guitarded774174d ago

Well, it is IGN... they are bipolar at times.

Can't wait to get my copy tomorrow.

Godchild10204174d ago

They told Omar (The development from SuperBot) that they did a good job, so they have nothing to worry about. That was on the live stream last week.

I thought the review was coming first then the special event where they play online with others.

***" Really can't see them saying its a bad game under those conditions."***

No conditions required. Anyone that has played the beta (with an open mind and not comparing it to smash) should know that the game is solid and by no means "bad." I'd give the beta an 8/10 myself and that's just with one game mode and 6 characters. The final version can only be better. I expect around 7.5-8.5 from IGN(I'm leaning toward 8.5).

Hanso4174d ago

same for me
also CROSSBUY !!

TheFirstClassic4174d ago

Came here to say the same thing. I had so much fun playing online with friends in that beta, I'm getting that game even if ign gives it a 1.

jakmckratos4174d ago

you do realize IGN is going to give this game a decent score right? THey LOVED it and did a live stream with the game director. I bet you the only thing they find wrong with it is the shallowness of the single player arcade mode. But it's SO addictive and there's even more awesome characters now. I expect at leas a 9 from IGN

pixelsword4173d ago

Hmmmm....

...IGN is double-minded, as well as double-crossing; I don't trust their reviews good or bad.

siavm4174d ago

Most games don't get betas and some games don't get early demos, so reviews do have a purpose. If something got a 1 out of 10 you would not want it.

SilentNegotiator4174d ago (Edited 4174d ago )

IGN's pre-review articles are meaningless to me.

It's even already up:

Gamer19824173d ago

Like with other games most reviewers are expecting smash brothers and thats why the low scores.

majiebeast4174d ago

Relientk774174d ago

Miguelitons4174d ago

The game will be awesome, already pre-ordered the PS3 version with the cross buy version for my PS Vita, can't wait to play it!

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.

CrimsonWing69520d 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.

PapaBop520d 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.

spoonard520d 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.

Magatsuhi520d 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__Merrin520d 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.

Nyxus527d ago

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

Deathdeliverer526d 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.
