PSLS: It has been a long time coming, longer than it even should feel thanks to the endless rumors and leaks that occurred ahead of the PlayStation All-Stars official announcement. It’s a game that the PlayStation community has long been dreaming about, ever since Nintendo released their first franchise mash-up brawler, Super Smash Bros. With the same goals in mind—putting each respective brand’s biggest and brightest stars on its roster into one game—they’re bound to draw many comparisons. PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale is no longer just a dream or a rumor, it’s a real game, ready to make its way into the hands of PlayStation fans everywhere as of today, and it’s time to see if it has the chops to roll with Smash Bros‘ punches.
While Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale didn't get the best review, there are still some aspects of the game that deserve some credit.
Though PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale is a bit of a cult classic, it could have been a big hit if it launched in 2022 instead of 2012.
It wouldn't have mattered, Sony would've rushed it out and left it to die. More so now than before with their focus now being on SP narrative driven AAA games.
Oh, but somehow Smash Bros. 64 made it work?
It just couldn’t compete with Smash Bros. and it wasn’t a free-to-play game like Multiversus.
I think it released at the right time. It's just after the success of Smash and Multiversus, it's finally time for a sequel.
I'd be all in on a remake or remaster of the original. I enjoyed it because I didn't sit there and compare every aspect to SSB. I just enjoyed it as it was.
Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.
God of War: Ragnarok has plenty of fun references to PlayStation history, but now fans have discovered a conversation that calls back to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale — the crossover fighting game released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
Drake all day baby.
Now we need a PSAS vs. Super Smash Bros. Come on, Japan, make it happen!
Buy it once, play it twice. Great idea and a great game.
