PlayStation All-Stars: Kratos and Radec Strategy Videos

Posted by Paul Edwards // Lead Combat Designer, SuperBot Entertainment -

Hi everyone! I’m responsible for bringing everyone’s favorite Spartan warrior, Kratos from God of War, into our world of ultimate crossover fighting with PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. SuperBot Entertainment was incubated within Sony Santa Monica Studio, and their feedback and involvement ensured Kratos’ transition from his game to ours was smooth. One of the biggest challenges was taking this immensely powerful god-killing character from a single-player game and try to balance that design within a multiplayer fighting game.

They both look really good. Nice to see how they are interpreting these 2 guys from their old games to this one. Seems like they are doing a nice job. The Radec super with the target is awesome.

I'd rather they show us some new characters on the roster. The closer we get to release, the less likely we're going to see a 20+ lineup.

I think they'll be missing some pivotal characters and their continued silence is starting to irk me.

At the moment, the lack of Snake, Crash, Spyro, Sir Daniel Fortesque, and Nariko isn't acceptable. I know some of them were in the recent character leak, but I'm sticking to officially confirmed ones for now.

I'm sure it'll be a great game, but to slap "PlayStation All-Stars" on the title of your game while managing to omit ANY of the aforementioned characters, well, that just not ok by me.

They are on record saying the leeks are legit.

'and the leaked content does not fully represent the final product' - next char at gamescom, prolly 2 as that's how they've done the other reveals.

I think you're being a bit spoiled here, we've seen so much of this game over the last few months and we're getting stuff without any major video game conferences going on to boot.

Does it really matter when they decide to talk about the roster? Are you gonna go "oh they mentioned everyone i wanted in the game...but they didn't say anything until October...so i'm not buying it"?

Plus some of your picks aren't PlayStation characters, you sir might just have to deal with it.

[HebrewHammer]

I love being quoted as saying "I'm not buying it" when I never said anything of the sort.

Oh, and which of the characters I mentioned aren't synonymous with PlayStation out of curiosity?

[Dakidog]

I was asking if you were gonna say that, don't get all irritated, simply say no lol.

Being synonymous with PlayStation and being a PlayStation character are two different things, if they were Sony owned I'd see no issues with getting them in the game. Snake, Crash, and Spyro do not belong to Sony...so they have no control on them being in the game.

[HebrewHammer]

So simply because they aren't owned by Sony makes it reasonable for them not to be in the game?

I think not. Those 3 are more pivotal than most first party characters.

Kinda defeats the point of calling it an "All-Stars" game.

[Nexgensensation]

hmmmm
they better have characters opposite of these 2 go to guys, like mario had luigi, like fox had falco, and how captain falcan had ganadorf.

i don't like parappa, fat princess, and that cat looking character.

and kratos should be an unlockable character. he actually fit this game perfectly.

[BiggCMan]

Cat looking character? What is this world coming to!! Are you 10 years old by any chance? To not know such an icon as Sly Cooper, who by the way is a RACCOON, is an insult to gaming, and you'd be ashamed to call yourself a gamer!!! IT IS BLASPHEMY!!

Also, Parappa is my best character, you're probably not too good in general if you can't use him and Fat Princess, they are both really good. And Sly Cooper (that cat looking character) is probably one of the best in the beta.

[Nexgensensation]

you fanboys are so sensitive
i know sly cooper.... smh

there's another cat looking character

[h311rais3r]

Calm down dude......it's just a game......

[Ben_Grimm]

He's not referring to Sly. There's a a cat character that appeared in SF X Tekken, I believe he's a Sony mascot in Japan.

Breath deep BiggCMAn, breath deep and count to 10.

[vividi]

the cat is Toro

[DirtyLary]

Counting the days till the Gamescom reveal.

[smashcrashbash]

I know it has been said before but Superbot and Sony are not responsible for not having Snake,Spyro or Crash in the game. If the people who own them say no, they can't make them give them to them. They don't belong to them and if they did Superbot would probably put them in in a heart beat. This business and if Sony realizes the terms for using them are unfavorable they won't use them. Remember they have to do this on the developer's terms not theirs. You can't demand to use Crash, Snake or Spyro. You can be disappointed but aim your ire towards the stubborn or greedy ones who won't give them up.However if they do give them Spyro or Crash or both I am sure they would be very happy to accept them.
