MTV:I've been saying for months now that 2012 has become something of a fighting game fan's dream. With major new releases from the "Tekken," "Dead or Alive," and "Soul Calibur" franchises, expertly curated collections bringing together 25 years of "Street Fighter" history, old-school downloadables making their way to consoles, and new entries like "Skullgirls" and "Persona 4 Arena." Ambitiously, Sony wanted to get in on the action with their very own console exclusive title, but one inspired less by the deep, technical fighters from Namco-Bandai, Capcom and the like, but instead Nintendo's addictive "Super Smash Bros." games.
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.
Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it
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.
