"Yesterday, a number of supposedly leaked and legit PlayStation All Stars: Battle Royale playable and environmental character lists surfaced via Reddit and NeoGAF. The “leaks” also included information on character stages, in-game items and game modes.
We can confirm that at least three voice actors associated with three of the above “leaked” characters have confirmed to us that they have contributed their voice to their character in PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale. We are not at liberty to reveal the identity of the actors in question or the character they voice."
That would make 20 characters total if the leaks are true and it has been confirmed that there is 20+ characters and that most likely means there will be 23-24 characters MAX.
Crash and Spyro should definitely be in the game. Hopefully they are apart of the remaining 2-4 characters left assuming the leaks are true. I would love Cloud, Sephiroth, Sora, and Solid Snake to be in the game personally though.
Big Daddy and Evil Cole are a waste of character slots in my opinion because Big Daddy could been replaced with an actual iconic PlayStation character and besides we already have Cole. Evil Cole would be nice as DLC. I would rather have Crash or Spyro in the game. Some think that Evil Cole might actually be Nathan Hale from Resistance and if it is indeed Nathan Hale then I actually don't mind.
I wouldn't mind Dante being in the game if it were the original Dante. The new DMC Dante isn't the Dante that people grew up loving so he is a waste of a character slot as well, in my opinion anyway.
I actually don't mind that Raiden could be in the game now. Yes, I'd rather have Solid Snake, but MSG4 Raiden is epic in his own right (which was why I was anticipating Metal Gear Rising at first, but then my anticipation dropped when I heard Kojima wasn't making the game and that it would be stealth, but then my anticipation for it rose back up when I saw the latest gameplay trailer).
All in all assuming that the leak is true I feel that there are 2-3 wasted characters. The lack of anything hinting that Crash and Spyro will be in the game is very disappointing to me. The absence of JRPG characters is disappointing as well. There is still hope though as there is possibly 2-4 character slots left (again assuming that the rumors are true) so all I can do is hope and pray that some of the characters I want in the game make the cut.
EDIT: @Below
No, I do not believe this website. I'm actually refering to leak that popped up 2 days ago and I don't actually believe it either, hence why I keep referring to it as leaks and rumors.
Check the link above again and the post has been updated with links back to examples of some of the interactions this site has had with the voice acting community including interviews with some of the biggest names in the business including Solid Snake's David Hayter, Commander Shepard’s Mark Meer, Duke Nukem’s Jon St. John, Nathan Drake’s Nolan North, Dante’s Reuben Langdon, James Sunderland's Troy Baker, GlaDOS’ Ellen McLain, Raiden's Quinton Flynn, PaRappa The Rapper's Dred Foxx, Sweet Tooth's J.S Gilbert, Bayonetta's Hellena Taylor, Isaac Clarke's Gunnar Wright, John Martson's Rob Wiethoff, Agent 47's David Bateson and many more besides.
This site dosen't make up voice actor information for hits. Additionally, this site was the first to confirm that a number of voice actors would be reprising their voice for PSAL-Battle Royale, for example DRed Foxx after nearly a decade returning as PaRappa The Rappa.
Thanks.
But thats the thing... you can not please everyone with the roster.
For me, I could care less about Dante, Parappa,Fat Princess, Toro, Heihaci, etc
But I accept them because they are allowing them to use those characters.
If your upset Spyro and Crash are not in the game... don't blame superbot... blame activision for not letting them use them...
If you don't like the version of Dante they have, blame Capcom
Don't like Raiden (seriously... who doesn't like raiden now...hes a GOD DAMN CYBORG NINJA!) blame Konami
Most of the third party looks like they are advertising new games... but thats not superbots choice. They can not go in and say we want this character.... the IP holder chooses who they give, or could flat out not let them have anything
Those companies hold the rights to the Ip.... so even if superbot wants a character those companies have the final say
Hell Activision would have given us Skylanders Spyro... not the one you guys loved.
Superbot is trying as hard as they can to get all the characters they can...but some studios will refuse.
After that douchy tweet from Crystal Dynamics... I knew Sqaure would dick Sony over... and they did... I doubt there will be a single JRPG character because sqaure dicked them over
You want ff and kh characters? Go blame sqaure.
Watch Versus not be an exclusive( not that its a bad thing)
You guys can't blame superbot... blame the people who have the rights to the IP's you want
Seriously, some people are so braindead, they keep harassing ND for a crash 4.
Raiden...
New Dante with Trish as a minion...
No Spyro or Crash
...No thanks
I wish Superbot would come out and debunk these leaks because it's getting me worried.
If this build is from a year ago then hopefully they've taken New Dante out because of the fan uproar over it. This game is supposed to be about fan service, why add characters no ones likes...it's a silly move
I find it hillarious how your so bothered about someone elses opinions
Oh and like I'm the only one complaining take a look around troll
We aren't getting Solid snake but we might get Old snake? You do realise it's the same guy right?
For now I'm assuming that SuperBot can get get and use any character that they want. If they were to come out and say "we can't get X character because of Y issue" then I'll understand and stop asking for that/those character(s). Kind of like how if someone were to ask ND to make a Crash game, but someone brings to their attention that ND no longer owns the Crash IP, then I'm sure that individual will understand and stop asking for it.
Where we both agree is that we are both looking forward to PSA Battle Royale. I really want a beta code badly too.
They're called opinions stop putting other peoples down because you think they are bashing the game when they're clearly not. If someone said "This game SUCKS" then fair enough hate on them as much as you like.
Do other peoples opinions bother you that much...chill man
Third party is severly lacking and its looking way too much as a promo tool especially for Capcom with Dino(Dante only in name).
But this build is from atleast 1 year ago. Crash and Spyro i really doubt it and i dont blame Superbot or Sony, but Activision they are probably not allowing it or only allowing skylanders spyro and fucked up tattoo crash with no old skins from ps1 gen.
Also David Hayter is still supposedly doing voice acting for the game according to Cole's voice actor. And he doesnt appear on the leaked list of minions people have posted so we could get old snake because of the mgs4 repackage with trophy's.
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE!
***"Third party is severly lacking and its looking way too much as a promo tool"****
I feel the same way. SuperBot did a good job at touching all areas as far as first party is concerned.
Third party is a disappointment to me and it's sad that publishers only see PSA as a way to market their game. Can't really blame them for that though. =/
Don't believe anything until it's confirmed by Superbot
But those stages look pretty legit to me
if the owners of crash, spyro, and the final fantasy characters Activision, SE were asking Sony to cough up lets say 10-20 million for theirs characters do you feel Sony should be held hostage for that high amount of money just for characters?
edit
ok cool i just wanted to see what others thought, i know it's probably not that high for the license but for everyone out here complaining how about we just wait to see who superbot unveils as the rest of the year goes.
wow i get disagrees for asking a question lol
I mean, obviously Activision and SE wouldn't charge that amount of money, but if they are in fact charging more than Sony would like to pay then, yeah, I understand that and I would want Sony over paying for a character. If money is indeed the issue there is always hope that those SE and Acti might lower the price for the character in a sequel if the first is so successful.
If Activision is forcing SuperBot to use the new Crash and Spyro models then, yeah, I understand that. I'd rather have no Crash and no Spyro than have the new crappy Activision versions.
I can't imagine licensing fees even coming close to a million for specific characters; it's not as if Sony is licensing the entire property to make a new game solely based around it.
My additions would be...
1.Minamoto Yoshitsune-Genji
2.Kat-Gravity rush
3.Toan-Dark cloud
4.Blasto
5.Rudy Roughnight-Wild Arms
6.lil&laarg-Escape plan
7.Mark Hammond-Getaway
8.Dart-legend of dragoon
9.Artemis-Dark mist
10.Gabriel Logan-Syphon filter
11.Leonard-White knight chronicle
12.Emmit Graves-Starhawk
13.Jasper Rogue-Rogue galaxy
14.Arc-Arc the lad
Blackground minions
Lemmings
little deviants
robbit
ect
Crash, Spyro, and Lara Croft are what I think of when I think of the PS brand (for the most part), but sadly, Acti now owns Crash and Spyro. I'm sure they could have done something with Lara though. People complain her games haven't been good in a while, and with the new game coming out, it would be a great promotional tool.
Although, If true, I'm glad Dan is in. I forgot about his games, even though I played the crap out of them, never did beat them though.
Maybe we could see them and cloud as DLC, since all of those companies like to make money off of DLC, maybe they could cut them a percent to get them in.
I'll be waiting until the list is made, and then I'll decide who I want to play as. I'm sure many other Playstation fans will do the same instead of stumbling around over some text.
And if this list does end up being true, sure there are a couple "WTF" moments, but it's still a decent list. And surely more will be added via DLC, or a sequel. No need to sit there and whine about it.
Nobody liked him when he first debuted, all of a sudden they try to make him a replacement for Gray Fox the original Cyborg Ninja. They're just trying to shove Raiden down our throats. What's next, is he going to start wearing a bandana and grow a mullet too?
I hope MGS5 is a prequel though with Miller, Gray Fox, Snake and Big Boss.
It's like how Gearbox said online people hated Duke Nukem, but in direct fan letters it was the exact opposite. You have to be able to see the bigger picture, and while it's stupid to think Raiden would be bigger than Snake, don't think for a second that it would cause the uproar you think it will.
If Snake isn't a playable character in this game, I'm not buying it.
Do people not notice that all the 3rd party character games are coming out this, most are next year.
In other words, it's all about 3rd parties only allowing characters that have games coming out. It's for advertising .
I'll break it down for you
Heihachi - He's young and on the box art for Tag 2. September
Big Daddy - Just happens to have a BioShock Infinite stage to tie in to my point. Next Year
Dante - DmC Dante. Next Year
Raiden - MGR R Raiden. Next Year
If people want a Final Fantasy character. There's only 2 possible choices, Lightning because of FF XIII-3 being heavily rumored or Noctis from Versus XIII.
If it wasn't for the Infinite stage, this pattern would not have been obvious.
