iGG: NYCC | Hands On: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale holds a lot on its shoulders, but it also holds a lot of promise with what was available at New York Comic Con. Check out the impressions of iGo Gaming in the scoop.

Glad to hear it. People are saying that no one is hyped for this game and what you have said shows that this is a lie. Many of us are still stocked for this game and only most boisterous loud mouths seem to think otherwise.

[iXenon]

People are definitely hyped for it. It's PlayStation's biggest release of the year

[humbleopinion]

I think you meant to say the biggest exlusive PS3 release this year. As for multiplats, there are some games on the PS3 which are pretty sure to surpass it.

[SoundGamer]

Yeah, some people are just too quick to judge.

I have been playing it since the closed beta a few months back, plus the more recent beta, and demos that are popping up around now.

The game is fun and that's what matters. Remember when that's what made people want to buy game? The good ole days.

[smashcrashbash]

I agree. too much over analyzing, premature negativity and doom predictions these days.I understand people have some hang ups about certain games or it may not be your cup of tea but sometimes you just feel to yell 'Just either ply the damn game or don't. Just stop telling us about what is wrong with it and why you won't play or buy it' especially when you haven't even played it yet.

It's going to be interesting to see what numbers this shifts. I don't think it's going to be phenomenal, but I do believe it's a console seller. We'll have to see what the American media have up their sleeves before we can be confident it will do well in America, but it will certainly do well in Europe and maybe quite well in Japan.

I hope it shifts a decent amount of copy's otherwise we will never hear the end of it.
It will be article after article about what went wrong or here's another Sony flop, Sony fails to capture Nintendo's magic blah blah blah.

Anyway I'm really excited for it, it played brilliantly at Eurogamer Expo and I can't wait to get my hands on the full game.
Plus I get a Vita copy for freebies ^_^

In response to his problems hitting L+R to activate the super, it must have just been a bug or it was not implemented into that demo. I have the Vita beta and it works very well every time. :)

Just clarifying.

[DivineAssault]

Some ppl will nit pick at everything on vita & try to judge it based on how it is on a home console.. The fact its essence can be replicated in your hands is great enough for me.. Im paying off my cross buy pre order regardless what anyone says.. Sackboy vs Kratos?? hell yes sir

[Parappa]

There are hardly any characters that people actually want and better fighting games have just released.

[Darth Stewie]

Go back in your cave troll you are on almost every PSASBR article bashing the game and you aint even doing a good job

[Paranoidplayer24]

Lol dude just cuz u didn't get characters like crash cloud or old snake doesn't mean characters that nobody likes got released. I'm honestly glad cloud and snake Arnt in it. Final fantasy was the most boring game iv played and snake is in smash. Crash would have been cool but it won't decide whether or lot I buy the game -_-.'my favorite characters happened to be in it. Big daddy sweet tooth radec Sackboy sir Dan are all awesome characters

[smashcrashbash]

Hardly any characters YOU wanted. I wanted Spike, Sir Dan, Nariko, Drake, Ratchet, Jak and Daxter, Sly and Parappa. Don't lump us all together like that. I would have minded Crash, Spyro and Cloud too but I got just about everyone I wanted in this game.Not everyone wants to cancel the whole game over Crash or Cloud you know.

I know people are disappointed about certain characters being omitted but realistically the fact that Superbot got twenty characters from several different developers is short of a miracle. think about it. MVC they only had to talk to Marvel and Capcom.Streetfighter VS Tekken, Capcom and Namco.SSB, Nintendo owned most of the characters.But Superbot had to talk to and negotiate with Capcom, Insomniac,Sucker Punch,NanaOn-Sha,Namco,Kojima, Eat Sleep Play, Naughty Dog,Titan Studios,Irrational Games,Guerrilla Games,SCEI not to mention they still had to try to negotiate with those who rejected their proposals. Twenty characters may not sound like much but the fact that they had to work harder then anyone else to get them I would say that is a lot.

I'm happy for Sony fans. It's like their Smash Brothers. Once I get a vita I might try it out.
