Cheat Code Central's Josh Wirtanen writes: "Ultimately, there are a lot of good things about PlayStation All-Stars that I had missed in my initial, incredibly brief play session. As I watch the game struggle in terms of sales figures, I can’t help but feel a bit guilty about shrugging the game off for as long as I did."
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.
While I'm not a journalist, I've got to say that I know the feeling. I played the Beta, and was not at all impressed. But the more I've played of it, the more I realise that it's a bit of a tragedy that it didn't do as well as it should have done.
I'm glad you are starting to enjoy the game! Better late than never. I've played this game online almost everyday since the game released and the game is as much of a blast to play as it was day one.
About time.
The game has its flaws but I've had a lot of fun with it and still play it every now and then.
It's a solid fighting game and considering it's a brand new IP I think they did a great job.
I really hope we see a sequel one day.
journalism nowadays are fighting to be the first to give the info, no matter if it's false or true.
PSAS is a very very fun game for EVERYBODY.
