PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale' on Vita is nearly identical to the PS3 game

SuperBot Entertainment isn't developing the PlayStation Vita version of PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale in-house — it's being handled by Austin-based Bluepoint Games — but playing the game on Vita, you'd have to look long and hard to notice any differences between it and its PlayStation 3 counterpart.

That's good. Hopefully it will be cross playable.

[Mikhail]

It is cross playable based on developer comments

[UnitSmiley]

Correct!

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

They demonstrated it on the E3 stage.
Some of the guys were on the Vita and some on the PS3 http://www.youtube.com/watc...

It's looking great.

[PoSTedUP]

the vita will get sicker and sicker. i CANNOT wait to play this let alone play with my brethren on the PS3 : D

[ChrisW]

I can't wait to play as Pikachu!

[Acquiescence]

Heh...
I can't wait to play as Cole MacGrath.

[kikizoo]

...then buy a gaming toy, no pikachu on ps3/vita ;)

[ChrisW]

Hmmm? Sorry guys... I must be greatly confused.

[DivineAssault]

I hope its fun.. I wouldnt mind a SSB rip off as long as its fun.. PS has plenty of mascots for this to work.. IDK about not taking damage though... I hope it ends up just as fun trying to gain super levels

[kornbeaner]

I have had some hands on time with the game. It's pretty F'n fun. Since the whole point is to get Super meter to obtain a "Kill-Shot" the game plays more aggressive then a typical fighter. Since no aggression, means no meter, players can't lame out a win. It looks weird and plays weird at first, but once you grab the concept of the "Kill-shot" it's nothing but fun.

[DivineAssault]

Thats reassuring to hear.. Its got my reserve money but im not picking it up til i see the reviews.. I think it will be good tho

[smashcrashbash]

That is good to hear. You are not the only person who has been saying how fun it is and how the whole super KO kills work fine. But in this modern age of gaming all people will be looking to see how much it is or isn't like SSB and will judge it as harshly as possible no matter if it a good game or not. The worse thing is you expect at least the reviewers to be professional about it but the first thing they will be on about is comparing it to SSB too.

I will give it the chance it deserves just like I will with LBP Kart but I am afraid a lot of people will be as stubborn and ignorant about it as possible.I know people who are just waiting to jump at the chance to tear it apart as fast as possible like what they did to GT5 and R3.I can just see the reviewers counting how many points they will take away already.

[Ramas]

that game should be PSN release, not full 60$... its really not worth that price.

[capjacksparrow]

Aaaaand you are special.

[kornbeaner]

Please explain as you seem to have a very deep insight.

[Ramas]

ok, well quite simple game, definately not much resourses needed, you cant even compare it to other quality games like uncharted, deadspace, resident eveil, Assassnins creed, heavy rain and thousands of other games.
All you do is jump around in same stages (diferent background) and fight in lame way. Would be nice to know how much it cost them to create that game, but i guess 10 times less then all other quality games.
I might be fun it it was psn game for 9.99$ to fool around a bit, 1 week or so and delete it.

[DigitalRaptor]

Smash Bros has always been a $60 retail game and it is nothing but pure quality series. Sony are not going to change standards because you are deluded.

It is a game that is designed around multiplayer (it also has a single player mode and most likely, a few more of them) and is amongst those games known for their epic longevity due to how much sheer fun they are --> Timesplitters, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Unreal Tournament.

I don't believe you have any knowledge on how games are developed or the manpower, and thus the budget that goes into it. More than you'd ever believe, and for this game, certainly not "10 times less then all other quality games". Your perception of quality seems to be based on whether it has a AAA budget or not and that is fcked up. Superbot are a smaller developer than Naughty Dog, but the same 9-5 (or more) workforce effort applies, and saying it's not worth $60 is disrespectful to the developers who put the hours of effort into these sorts of games.

Yakuza is a lesser Shenmue. By that logic, I should only have to pay $40 or less for it... That's insane logic!

[DivineAssault]

The vita version will be less than $60 so he can go with that

[cpayne93]

Theres going to be a single player mode right? If it can match brawl, which had a huge sp with cutscenes and everything, then it is well worth the 60. The fighting isn't lame, the combat, stages, and characters are all awesome. I'm not so sure this would take that much less resources than any other game which isn't a new ip, especially not cod which involves large amounts of copy and pasting. We still dont really know how much content the game has though. Again, think of how much stuff was in brawl, if they can even come close to matching that, then it will be well worth the 60 bones.

[ginsunuva]

Then good thing it's 40 dollars on vita

[omarzy]

I'd rather get it on Vita if i had one. Just seems likr a better fit for some reason.

[GribbleGrunger]

You'll probably get both for one purchase anyway

[dorron]

That would be sweat! If cross purchase was made for most games, Vita would sell like cakes!!!

[Skateboard]

Good getting both versions.

[OmniSlashPT]

They should do a bundle for the people who want to buy both versions and some exclusive content in order to get people getting both versions...

[ChunkyLover53]

It should be identical. The Vita is quite powerful and even though I like the graphical style of the game, its not like its taxing to the PS3.

I'm really on the fence with this one, I'd like to see some of the characters I grew up with in the game before I pre-order.

[Sithlord-Gamble]

Im willing to bet that every major/popular Sony (1st party) title to ever release will have something in this game, whether that be characters or stages.

[ChunkyLover53]

Well so far I think they said it'll have 20 characters, and I'm happy with some of them, and some of them I have no idea who they even are.

Some are head scratchers like Big Daddy? I'm hoping against hope for Crash!

[Sithlord-Gamble]

Yea i know. In this day and age, i wouldnt be surprised if dlc characters/stages arent released to cover what they miss at launch.

Ill be buying this for my vita tho for sure.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

This (hopefully) will start the snowball effect for the Vita's momentum going into the fall and winter months.

[GribbleGrunger]

It's a nice thought but I'm holding off being too confident at the moment. We may see a slight increase in the averages (particularly in Europe) but nothing substantial. I'm waiting on the probably spikes like LBPV and of course this game... and then see what the new average is following the first month.

Then we'll see what the true momentum is going to be

edit: Didn't notice the (hopefully) sorry :)

[Ascalon94]

give me snake!

[Unversed87]

Does anyone know D.O.N.? Copy SSB but awesome!!
