GodisaGeek: "PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is bit of an enigma. On one hand, the argument could be made that this sort of game would usually be a downloadable title, but on the other hand, the line between digital and retail has all but vanished, and no game should be defined by its distribution method.
When all is said and done, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is pretty entertaining whenever picked up, it just might not retain the player for hours at a time. The options to play are plentiful and Sony should be applauded for the way they are producing cross-platform titles, that don’t cost the earth to enjoy. It’ll never get old seeing Sackboy beating up the God of War, either, which proves that Sony do have the characters to charm even the most cynical fanboy. The groundwork has been set here, and a follow up could be very interesting indeed."
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.
