I honestly thought it was doomed from the moment I saw it being a Smash Bros clone. If they do make another one(God Forbid)they should try looking at different ways to present the overall game. Maybe have it 2.5D and instead of 4 fighters on at once, tag matches instead or something similar to Street Fighter X Tekken.

Because

A) All-Stars is not a smash bros clone
B) All-Stars is not doomed (bc now it's got a huge following)

The meter build aspect differentiated All-Stars from the competition, and the fan support from the word "go" (up until now when awesome DLC debut) has been awesome.

... Going forward, I think SCE should acknowledge the marketing blunders when people like you come along by hiring some studio that can take in your opinion, grind down to find the critique amidst the preconceptions and build a better fighter. Preferably, the next All-Stars game would be a game built with EVO (or other pro-gaming circuits) in mind so that it's fighting mechanics and features make it refined enough for competitive gaming on day one.

All-Stars was already the casual game. I think it's fair for SCE to make a more serious fighting game.

I think it will be on PS+ in no-time.

If it is, maybe everyone can see how great of a game it is and warrant a sequel.

I feel like the only person that enjoys this game sometimes.
I've had a ton of fun with it. Emmett and Kat have added a lot to the roster. There always seems to be loads of different people online too so there must be a lot of fans out there. It's a good game, it has it's flaws but what game doesn't? Anyway I hope they keep supporting it with DLC characters for awhile before we get a sequel. A lot of people seemed to of bought the Heavenly Sword/wipeout level so there is demand for more content.

I wish they made it like Powetstone.

But then people would want it to be like Smash Bros.

Then people would hate that they made it "LOOK" like Smash Bros.

Then the game will get hate articles everyday.

Oh yea....... nevermind

lovegames7184080d ago

Great game imo and i hope that a sequel is made. My girl even loves playing mp with me and is actually getting the hang of it.

I really believe that most ppl that hated on this game because they were fanboys crying that it was a Smash bros clone influenced others to supposedly hate it.

If you dig deep you will find a good amount of ppl that own multi systems that feel this is better than smash brothers was. But of course thats subjective.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Launched 10 Years Too Early

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.

CrimsonWing69518d ago

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.

PapaBop518d ago

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.

spoonard518d ago

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.

Magatsuhi518d ago

Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.

Father__Merrin518d ago

Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it

God of War: Ragnarok Weirdly Makes PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Canon

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.

Nyxus525d ago

I wouldn't say canon. More like an easter egg.

Deathdeliverer525d ago

That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
