Call it a clone or a knockoff but Sony might be onto something here. The Playstation at this point is roughly a 18 year old brand with its own rich history at this point. There have been Smash Brothers clones since the N64 debut but none have felt right despite appearances. Some have been memorable like Dream TV having a car being a fighter but the balance has never been matched. Enter Sony’s Superbot Entertainment which is a split from Santa Monica, the studio that churns out God of War.
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.
Really...5 out of 5... You give 3+ and 3- and find a way to give this game a perfect score!
Since when is "Sly Cooper has no block and instead goes invisible which is unfortunate" a con! It's like saying: "I give UMvC3 an perfect score, but as a con I say, It's too bad that Rocket Raccoon is short".
Anyway, you guys know what you are doing, and apparently, you are trying to tell the world that PASBR is as good as Zelda: Ocarina of Time!
+ How is BIG DADDY not a PS Legend. By that Logic, the new Dante is...and his game isn't even out yet. Sorry...but this review makes no sense. As a gamer, I feel insulted when I read something like that!
A perfect score! HA! This is stupid, the UI in this game is something out of the 1990's but in a bad way, the Tutorials are lame and half way broken for some of the characters. Crossplay matches are full of lag, this game is fun and nothing more. To call this game perfect is an insult to the industry and the reviewer should be perma-banned from the internet.
From the looks of this review, I honestly don't think this guy played the entire game thoroughly. I had good reaction to the game the first time I played it, but the second time I played it, I started to notice the flaws and things that just didn't mesh well as a whole. The second play through and beyond made me realize how much I hate the combat system of killing your enemy with a special move.
This game is good, but to say it's a 5/5 is really too much. A believable score would be between 6-8. Flaws from my experience would be the weak story mode, the weak training mode and no command list, and probably character looks (they look like they are ripped straight out of their games instead of given a unique style to unify and make all the characters look and fit better together).
I had a blast playing it with friends. So far, I really wish the UI was a bit more modern but maybe they were going for a retro look. Anyways, look forward to more characters!
