EGM: "While it certainly won’t win any points for originality, Battle Royale is a solid Smash Bros. clone that brings a few interesting, if flawed, innovations to the casual brawler."
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.
Yeah once you called it a SSB clone that negates your review right there. I'd prefer to listen to less close minded reviewers thank you. You can throw all the disagrees at me all you like. If you were a professional reviewer you wouldn't call it a clone. No reviewer called Soul Caliber, Virta Fighter or Tekken clones
"While it certainly won’t win any points for originality, Battle Royale is a solid Smash Bros. clone"
Stopped reading there. I knew it was a terrible review with little substance from that little sentence, when you cant judge a game on its own qualities then just stop being a reviewer and go work at burgerking cause thats probably much more suited for you.
It seems like a great game for being a clone. Dante's Inferno in similar fashion was also a clone but still a great game.
Last time i checked, SSB doesnt have an online mode?...
And the only things similar between the two games is the time clock, and that a max of 4 characters are playable per stage... Everything/anything else is VASTLY different between the two, so claiming that PSASBR is a clone of SSB proves that person is pulling sh!t out of their @ss...
Be aware of the up coming @ss pulls, about this game.... Its like 75% of these so called gaming websites website have a personal vendetta against Sony, people need to grow up.
