Long time Smash player and DualShockers writer Paul LaCen talks about what PASBR brings to the table. Sony may not have Mario and Link in its roster, but it does have a strong combat system, spectacular netcode, and a caring development team.
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.
Agreed. It may be missing Nintendo's charm, and presentation...but the gameplay is more hardcore. I see all my pro fighting game friends addicted to this game. It makes u want to stick with it and improve your skill.
Parapa is my crack in that game. Lol
this game is incredible. all the characters, with the exception of the coles, are unique and differ greatly. each character plays and feels completely different from each other. with so many quirks and nuances to discover with them. the game has slight balancing issues imo but not enough to make it feel cheap. the gameplay is fast and frantic and requires alot of strategic thinking.
my only problem with the game is not having option to have 1 vs 1 games online without inviting a friend to a versus match as well as lacklustre unlockables and presentation. going solely on gameplay it gets a 9.5 from me.
and ps it feels VERY different to smash bros
Does anyone know if a demo will eventually be available on the PSN store?
