From the PlanetPlaystation.com feature preview:
"A few weeks back, Sony invited us out to a pre-E3 press event to get a first look at PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale for the PlayStation 3. This game is practically Sony’s take on the Super Smash Bros. games put together by its rivals at Nintendo. It features a number of their popular franchise characters (and locales) thrown together into one game, battling it out for superiority using whatever battle techniques they can muster. So far, it’s a great looking game, and the addition of Big Daddy from Bioshock and long-time Uncharted hero Nathan Drake certainly makes things interesting."
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.
Absolutely no new or interesting information. The guy wrote this article as if he has never even heard of it. I mean, he described the "Jak & Daxter/Hotshots Golf" level for whatever reason. Old news. Everyone knows all of this already.
