Left Out? Sony franchises we may miss in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

Sony’s answer to Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. pits some of the most popular PlayStation heroes and villains against each other. Recognizable characters like God of War’s Kratos, Uncharted’s Nathan Drake, and Twisted Metal’s Sweet Tooth have been confirmed as playable fighters, but the final roster is yet to be determined by the game’s developers.

Sadly, it’s unlikely that All-Stars Battle Royale will feature every Sony first-party series — the publisher just has too many franchises for this to be a reasonable expectation. Let’s take a look at some Sony properties that probably won’t make it into the game due to poor sales, overall weirdness, or horrible design. (Blasto, Jet Moto, Jet Moto 2 , Jumping Flash, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, PS Vita, PS2, PS3, Retro, Shadow of the Colossus)

I really have no interest in this game.
sinncross  +   332d ago
Well, I guess that is your loss then.

Though if you are not interested then you are not interested. I for one cannot wait. I remain cautious over it... I just want more info: that seems to be a bit lacking atm.

Really? Most places I visit call it a SSB clone but just not as good or fun looking.

I'm cautious over it mainly because of the footage I saw from E3. I saw the guy playing as sweet tooth do one move about the entire time haha.
swat_teem  +   331d ago
i am not sure if i want to get this game it does not look as fun as SSB you know with the % and trying to stay in the game with like 200% we will see how things turn out with all stars

Straight up Mario Kart clone with Mod Nation Racer, and now this. Wii motes turned to Sony Move controllers, and Achievements turn to trophies.

It's been a great generation for consoles!

Just like M$ copied the PS EYETOY with kinect huh??

Where is GEX??

Hows that "Pro controller" for the WiiU sit with you? Does it feel just like your 360 one?
Nimblest-Assassin  +   332d ago
@Majin-vegeta,Soldierone,princ e_dim

Really? We are all going to be immature now?

I will start with prince first

1) Mario Kart did not invent karting, and modnation actually allowed you to create your own character, kart and track... and Mario Kart 7 took that cart creation aspect from Mod Nation

2) All that la-de-da about Sony having the idea for move

3)I didn't know misrosoft invented awards, achievements and trophies are the same god damn thing... if all games were making achievements, why not trophies

@Majin

1) Who cares if the kinect did copy the eyetoy, VR tech existed way before the eye toy, and the kinect has mutli-media functions, unlike the eye toy

@Soldierone

1) People complained about the wiiU gamepad,so they made a controller. Why not. I do not know a person who games who only owns a wii, but a ps3, 360 and a PC as well. Why not give them a familar experience? Nintendo shouldn't invent some new kind of controller all over again. Have something familiar

You all need to grow up.... by taking ideas, the gaming industry can never grow

Screaming copy cat?

You are weak from the fear that Sony might produce something better than Nintendo.

I bet 10 million space dollars Ezio will be in AS. The music they used in the e3 trailer is the same as the one that was used in AC2's first gameplay trailer. Not to mention Ubi+Sony's buddy, buddy relationship, and the fact Ezio was in the micheal trailer... he's almost guaranteed in it (or someone else from Ac... maybe Connor)

Honestly my interest for this game comes down to the characters. If they put the right characters in it, I'll buy it. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way.
MacDonagh  +   332d ago
The lack of Kazuma Kiryu from the Yakuza series is rather sad.
remanutd55  +   332d ago

Nariko ( Heavenly Sword)
Sir Daniel Fortesque (MediEvil)
Cole McGrath ( inFAMOUS)
Sackboy (Little Big Planet)
Chimera (Resistance)
Jack and Daxter
Ratchet and Clank
Old Snake (Metal Gear Solid 4)
Gabe Logan (Syphon Filter)
Kat (Gravity Rush)

Hope Crash Bandicoot is in it after all was a big seller doing the ps1
brew  +   331d ago
EyePet could make a cameo , and Giant Enemy Crab could be the final boss.
unicronic  +   331d ago
The final roster hasn't been announced yet. More fighters will be revealed and you can bet there will be DLC roster and stage additions too.

It looks decent currently, it probably will be a good game to pick and drop frequently like Motorstorm RC is.

It would be so cool if they included someone from Battle Arena Toshiden.
MacUser1986  +   331d ago
If Sir Daniel Fortesque is not included I have no real interest in this game.
morkendo23  +   331d ago
EJI from BATTLE ARENA TOSHENDEN would be Krazy cool.
Farsendor1  +   331d ago

I wish Robbit was more fondly remembered...
It's kind of depressing how largely forgotten the Jumping Flash! games are today, when you consider how impressive the first one as a launch title for the Playstation was. Full of charm, memorable music, robust and colourful visuals - they just don't make them like that anymore.
kingPoS  +   331d ago
Um isn't it usually a good idea to leave other characters available for a sequel. You know..something to look forward too. Fighting games don't normally start out with a Smorgasbord at first. I rather they build onto it, instead of throwing everybody in it first.

Gimme a FF character and i'm sold!

Sony needs to add TOMBA
TronEOL  +   327d ago
To be honest, I think they should make the first game (this current one) have mostly PS1 characters, with some famous PS2 and PS3 characters. Since, like others are saying, there will be sequels, and you can leave the PS2/3 characters for those games.

It'd be a nice throw-back to be able to play as most of the characters that launched the Playstation brand, and re-introduce some of them to the newer generation of Playstation gamers.

The only problem with this idea is the fact that Sony tends to introduce new memorable characters quite often. So by the time the third game comes out, the PS4 may have introduced us to a bunch of characters we'd want in a game like this.
