EuroGamer: "But as a serious fighting game Battle Royale is, like its inspiration, too scrappy, too random and too unfocused to warrant the accolade. Meanwhile, as a celebration of lineage, the game boasts far fewer extras than 2008's comprehensive expression of the fan service fighter, Super Smash Bros. Brawl - and, perhaps, Sony lacks the lineage for a celebration on this scale. An enjoyable, workable clone then - and a surprisingly un-cynical one - but lacking the raw ingredients to truly replicate Nintendo's success in this niche."
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.
looking good.
wow a disagree, bring em lol.
"An enjoyable, workable clone then"
A clone...really, I thought we were past this
I think it's differn't enough then Super Smash Bros, why is it people forget that SSB basicaly copied the arcade game The Outfoxies.
I'm a huge PS fan, owned all three PS consoles and a PSP, although sold it like my DS not very interested in handhelds.
But this is a clone of Smash Bros wich is an amazing franchise.
Although the score is good , it's terrible review to read through , especially the part about Sony not having enough appropriate characters. There's already A bunch characters that they didn't use like Gabe Logan , Dat , Jen Tate , and Wander as some examples , as well as recent Sony characters like Kat and Emmet Graves that can clearly fight -(coming as free DLC).
The most important part of this game is the possibility of a sequel, remember Melee?
