PlayStation All-Stars Public Beta Coming This Fall, Early Access For Plus Subscribers

Coming this fall, SuperBot Entertainment will send out batches of beta codes to expand the game.

I've been trying to get into this but just can't manage a code even though they've given them out in a few places already.

Link says 'leaks' are indeed true.

[nrvalleytime]

It's been pretty selective, but the public beta is fantastic news. I think I can wait until then.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

Fantastic news indeed. I can't wait to try this game out.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

There has been very good news today

A beta announcement
The release date of LBP vita
And a new Assassin's creed trailer

[WildArmed]

Looking forward to trying the game. I've been dying for some hands-on to convince me. The videos haven't captured me just yet.

[Emilio_Estevez]

Me too, I feel like vids can never really do a game justice like a hands on does.

[WildArmed]

I hope they don't disable local play, because I wanna beat up some friends/siblings haha.

Ofc, online play is going to be fun too.. as long as they can pull it off w/o lag.

[-Alpha]

The beta doesnt have local play. since the beta is so small currently, u run into a lot of the same players. Its definitely a game u need to try to believe. Very fun game but u wont know from the videos alone. i think many r going to b surprised at how great it is.

[Ron_Danger]

I'm in the privet beta and it's a lot of fun. It gets pretty crazy when everyone has a level 2 super saved up and there's only 30 seconds left! Of the 6 characters in the beta I find myself going back to Sly Cooper the most (his level 2 super rocks!) but overall it seems pretty balanced. And in case you didn't know, the current beta is online multiplayer only.

[WildArmed]

@Alpha

Ah, yeah LBPK was MP only too. And I figured this would be too. But I was still hoping. Looking forward to when the beta opens up more, you're on my to kill list ;)

Assuming you didn't sell your ps3 like u did ur 360.. or deleted me off from PSN :(

[ShoryukenII]

I'm really disappointed that there are no Assassins or Square Enix characters. They really missed a lot. I really love Brawl and I'm sure I'll love this game's gameplay but the characters are half of the fun. Hopefully they can improve with some cheap DLC packs and later a GotY edition.

[majiebeast]

Well atleast Superbot did acknowledge the leak props for that. But i really doubt its the full roster the build is from mid 2011 so alot couldve been changed as hinted by this.

In addition, there was an unexpected and unintended leak in our beta that allowed fans to be able to see some additional content. We’ve enjoyed reading all of the fan reaction and are thrilled that so many of you are excited to learn more our character roster and level mash-ups, however we are still in development and the leaked content does not fully represent the final product

[Omar91]

So i guess the leaked roster was indeed legit? But then again they said that it doesnt represent the full roster.

Being the fan/nerd that I am, I actually emailed superbot and asked about the ganes music because i was a bit nervous with how much impact the music will have in the game. They emailed me back saying how the demos seen are not the representation of the game. There are some noticable changes especially with the music. So i truely cant wait to see what changes they can make within a few months

[user5467007]

"you are excited to learn more about our character roster"

Excited...more like disapointed

New Dante, Raiden, no Old Snake, no Crash, no Spyro, Trish from dmc as a minion, no Final Fantasy characters, hardly any more PS1 old school characters.

So I guess New Dante will be in the game then...I just can't believe they would actually include him despite most of us not giving a crap about him. We want the old Dante Superbot...COME ON

[MaideninBlack]

It's not up to SuperBot. If they go to a third party company and ask for x character and the company will only give them y or nothing at all, then there's really nothing SuperBot can do.

[DigitalRaptor]

Mike - I guess you forgot to read the part straight after:

" however we are still in development and the leaked content does not fully represent the final product nor the incredible efforts that were made to make these elements truly spectacular. This will be evident in the coming weeks as this content is officially revealed, beginning with our next character announcement at Gamescom in a couple of weeks."

I love how passionately overwhelmed some people get. For all you know the old Dante will be an unlockable skin, or he might be in there. Smash bros had multiple versions of Link.

[user5467007]

Even if he has an unlockable skin why isn't his default the old Dante, the classic one which would make more sense to be in this game. The new one should be an unlock. I mean Kat would still be a minion...not Lady or Trish

That statement dosen't mean anything, it could be true and he's just trying to make it look like theres still some surprizes left in the list. It's just a PR statement.

[smashcrashbash]

All Mike has been doing is complaining about the roster constantly. He doesn't want to understand or read what anyone says. All he does is gripe about which Dante they are using and how they aren't using FF characters. I mean did anyone really think that Square and Activision where going to give Sony any of their characters or give us anything on Sony's terms? Why not give them an earful about why they don't want to give us what we want? Link had three versions of himself and people b***h because their is an Evil Cole.

[DigitalRaptor]

@ Mike

He's probably not going to be the default Dante, because simply put, publishers are more concerned about their current profits and would prefer to have their current characters represent their new games. I've realised, it doesn't really matter, as long as they add a skin (which they probably will). It's not Sony, Superbot nor the game's fault that Capcom, Square Enix and Activision are being awkward.

@ Smash

If Crash Bandicoot isn't in this game, I'll be hugely disappointed - He's the ultimate PlayStation mascot as far as I'm concerned. but even then, a purchase is not riding on the omission of any characters. The game looks fun - simple as that and I will most likely be picking it up if it is as fun to play as it looks and as people who have played it have said it is.

[Omar91]

@Mike Dude grow up. you don't know what the full roster will look like until close to release. All you've been doing is complaining. Just wait until they are allowed to talk more about the game and then you can bitch all you want while we enjoy the crap out of this game.

[Fez]

I'm not gonna tell you to grow because I understand that a DMC fan would much rather see the original Dante over the new one...but you must, 100%, understand fully, why it is the new Dante in the game and not the original?

Same with Rising's Raiden possibly in over Snake. The reasons are obvious.

I was hoping for the original Cole from Infamous who has a far better character model but I'd be silly to complain that they went with the new one because the reason is so blatant.
