We've had Super Smash Bros and we're getting Playstation Allstars Battle Royale. So when is Microsoft going to join the lucrative bandwagon? And who's going to make the lineup?
Lol. Well considering Microsoft's pathetically small amount of exclusive characters in general, hell even 3rd party characters. Laughing is completely understandable. :)
So you forget the fact that MS owns Rare correct? Meaning their whoe stable of IPs. Which can cover a lot of characters. conker, Killer Instinct, Perfect Zero, Viva Pinata, Jet Force Gemini, battle toads...to only name a few That is just one company they own.
Throw in Twisted Pixel characters (splosion man, Ms. Splosion man, comic jumper, the Maw
throw in Gears of War, Halo, possibly Voodo Vince (good reviews, poor sales), Crackdown series, Blue Dragon, Fable series.
A lot of people gives MS grief, but they own a lot of IPs. People just don't want to dig them up and admit it.
they could easily make an all-stars game out of IPs they own without dipping into 3rd party pools.
lol.....!!!! this hole article has to be a joke right?!? lol....... (from Alen Wake) "Special attack: Agh! A blinding flashlight! In my eyes! Two parts annoying, one part infuriating, three parts deadly. One further part irritating"
have you even played Alan Wake? he knows how to battle. What about how he hit the dr. in the police station? oh mr wake sure knows how to swing a punch.
@Chuckyj1 Isn't it insane that they have those Rare characters, Yet don't do anything with them. I have longed to see a full badass Konker's Bad Fur Day sequel :(
Ha ha ha!! That pic made me Lol! And the title of the game had me chuckling too. We need more light hearted articles like this. Good show sir. I just wish those we do not speak of were not already on the way to ruin the good cheer here.
Microsoft already came out and said they wouldn't do a Smash Brother's knock off. If your looking for a Smash Brothers game, try Smash Brothers, or the PlayStation All Stars one. I just don't think a Microsoft All Stars game would appeal to very many.
Why would MS throw money at something they know wouldn't sell all that well. All Stars will be very telling just how a game of this type will sell on other machines. People forget that only Nindendo do Nintendo. MS similarly has it's own way that happens to be nothing like what Nintendo does. Both make healthy profits
If Microsoft made this type of game, they wouldn't be able to call it a fighting game. The lack of physical contact(guns) would define it as a shooter.
I was just listing the possibilities, because my list is all xbox360 exclusives. Meaning those would be some of the characters to choose from.
And it's obvious this list is Horrible compared to Super Smash Brothers.
I wasn't trying to show you personally anything though, I was just showing people what the list could look like.....and it doesn't look nearly half as good as any SSB game.
I like it just add Kaim, Jansen, and Seth from Lost Odyssey. I love them all so mush i couldnt narrow it down. It would also have to be something different, more like Mortal Kombat or Killer Instinct (and use KI characters paving the way for KI3). It needs to be more not mature but bloody and adult as most MS games are violent and more adult (wrpgs, fps, gears, even Lost Odyssey was a jrpg with adults and a dark depressing story). Id dig a 2d fighter with all the best MS characters and cult favorites. They acually have a hell of alot of ip's.
I dont want another ssb clone thats for sure. That style works for Nintnedo but not for everyone. Its tacky to straight up copy stuff imo and not needed. Look at LBP. It was to fill the 2d platformer void on the ps3. They didnt reskin Mario they made something awesome and unique. Even LBP Karting which is a rip off of MK is unique and fits within the LBP "world". PS All Stars is just reskinned SSB and im jut not excited. Id rather have had a dissidia styled 3d fighter from sony. Now THAT would be perfect and kick major ass. Oh well it will be fun to see characters come together still.
Technically Small Arms counts as a Smash Bros Clone But heres something to add Captain Price- Call of Duty 2 Elves -Shadow Run Sgt. Johnson- Halo Edf Soldier - EDF 2012 (INCLUDING HORRIBLE VOICE ACTING) Kid with the big helmet in Psychonaughts
You cant really add killer instinct to the list since microsoft hasnt done anything with the frachise
Master Chief Marcus Fenix Boomer (Left 4 Dead) Shu (Blue Dragon) Kameo Banjo & Kazooie Fable Wizard Fulgore (COOOOOOMBO BREAKER) Joanna Dark Dust (From Dust The Elysian Tail) Galen (99 Nights 2) <-----I love these games!!!! Hudson Horstachio (Viva Pinata) Again if Pappa Rappa is going to fight Kratos than their is no reason why I can't see a Pinata fight Master Chief.
If Sony can put lame ass characters from last gen like Papappa Rappa than Microsoft can put lame ass characters like Blinx. Than add a bunch of third party characters just like Sony has like Big Daddy and the Tekken Guy and you got yourself a lineup.
Hell my roster kicks Sony's roster up and down the block! But please Microsoft, don't do it. Nobody wants to see Master Chief fight a Pinata... just like nobody wants to see Kratos fight some lame ass characters.
Here would be my list of Microsoft owned characters...
1. Master Chief 2. Cortana 3. Conker 4. Banjo & Kazooie 5. Captin Smiley 6. An Agent from Crackdown series 7. a Zombie from Crackdown 2 8. Joanna Dark 9. Marcus Phoenix 10. Locust from Gears of War 11. Voodoo Vince (a Voodoo doll) for those no familar 12. Killer Instinct (multiple characters) obvisouly not all 13. Viva Penata! (could work Pokemon work in SM Smash bros) 14. Of COURSE BATTLE TOADS heck I'd throw in all 4 of them
(15.) Would say Allen Wake (but I think IP belongs to Remedy)
It didn't take very long to come up with that list. MS could easily do it if they wanted. but, I don't think they have any intention to.
As for gamers who say MS doesn't own any IPs either A) No nothing about gaming, and don;t do their own research. OR B) are simply fagboys looking to troll.
I think an all star fighting game would not fit 360 image so well. An all star shootout, that would be better. I am not making fun of MS either. Have Halo vs Gears vs CoD, vs any other shooter they wish to put in there. Imagine Master Chief using a Lancer to chainsaw through Marcus Fenix. Or imagine a CoD dude calling a gunship to wipe Master Chief and Marcus Fenix. They also have more characters to use too. The Covenant, the Locust, ODST, Space Marinces, etc. That would be a better twist on an All Star Battle Royal if you ask me. An All Star Shootout.
Not gonna bash anyone's list but I do have a problem with adding Rare titles that ONLY appear on Nintendo consoles like Killer Instinct. Once there's at least one Killer Instinct on a MS platform, fine....but what does it say about your platform that you have to dig up old Nintendo games to fill your roster?
Whilst there may be enough first party characters its stupid naming them off since this site is ran by sony fans who have only ever heard of Master Chief.
Viva Pinata in a damn fighter would make me lol SO hard.
Ha ha ha!! That pic made me Lol! And the title of the game had me chuckling too. We need more light hearted articles like this. Good show sir.
