GameTrailers: "With a more deliberately-designed fighting system, Battle Royale strives for the sort of cred you’d sooner find in an arcade than a living room get-together. The end result is a serviceable party game that shoots for the stars but ultimately comes up short of its competitive aspirations. In its attempts to take its format in a different direction, it has inadvertently skewed itself away from the fundamentals that would make it work. In the end, you can safely say that Battle Royale is indeed not like Smash Brothers, but it might have been better if it were."
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.
The game is getting pretty good scores ranging from 6 to all the way up to 9. The game looks pretty good and I'd definitely get it had I the money. Gaming is a brutal hobby for one's wallet!
Like i said with a previous post. This is the FIRST game of what may be many more to come. To compare it to what i guess later installments of Super Smash is unfair. The first Smash was a great game but even that it was limited to a small roster & fundamentals that improved as the series went on. PSAS will follow the same idea, to improve with each installment, but for a first game it is pretty awesome.
Superbot intention was not to do better than Smash but to give Playstation fans a game that we dreamed of since Smash debut Nintendo. It is not here to be like Smash for crying out loud.
sony players just want to have their own smash kind of game..so this is a dream come true for me and some who own ps3 and vita..and i cant complain with the scores coming out wthether is a 6 or a 9..A or Z..i just want to enjoy thats it..and everybody has their own taste and opinion
WOW. Gaytrailers really suck. LOL.
You know, I usually agree with GameTrailers reviews, and not IGN, but this is one of those rare occasions where I'm gonna agree with IGN. Seems GT is doing nothing but complaining the whole review, and the only good stuff they say is when they're talking about SSB. IGN on the other hand did everything in their review to separate PSASBR from SSB and review the game on its own merit. I played the closed and open beta, and have seen all the game modes... PSASBR is a fun party/fighting game. GT gave a decent (a little low IMO) score, but the talking points in the review were all negative. At that score, the talking points should have been a bit more positive.
