Kotaku: About a week ago we all got the opportunity to get our hands on Sony's brawler, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
I mentioned in my review that BioShock's Big Daddy was one of the highlights, if for nothing else than his third-level special move. It's gorgeous, and one of the most uniquely done action moves that I saw from any playable character in the game. It's also somehow sad, inspiring memories of the twisted utopia that was Rapture.
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.
I agree, it really is a fantastic attack. Very dramatic and unique.
I'm picking this up around January. Can't wait!
The comments in the Kotaku article....wow
I am really happy with the outcome of All Stars. I had a blast playing around a couch with my buddies. Brings back memories of gaming around the same tv. I am hoping this game gets the support it deserves from gamers and looking forward to more levels and classic PlayStation characters.
i played it like 5 hours yesterday =D gets really addictive =D
