Remember the PS1 title “Blasto” from way back in 1998? Don’t worry, nobody else does either. Sadly, Insidious Gamer DOES remember and decided to give it a look…the game wasn't good then and time hasn't been kind to it…Enjoy!?
(Heads up: For some reason the PS3 just couldn't seem to output this game’s audio in Stereo, so it only plays in Mono…through one ear…not sure why. There is also some “audio drift” that causes the audio to be out of sync by the end of the video… we will chalk up all technical issues to Blasto being a terrible game.)
Eskimo Press: "Remember Blasto? The space hunk super-hero whose sole purpose in life is to "save babes"? Well, it looks like a next-gen sequel for this frantically fun shooter might be revealed. Sony's interest in SpaceX is making a heck of a lot of sense now, wouldn't you say?"
I still own this game, and would love a true next gen sequel with the same kind of humor the original had. Make it so Sony, and I will buy it.
I love this interactive Sony with us gamers, greatness awaits.
I would like it but I mainly liked the old game because of Phil Hartman, the voice acting alone AT THE TIME was worth playing through it despite being difficult (frustrating difficult).
Since he's gone I don't know who could replace him
I suppose Billy West could, but I don't think Blasto was big enough to deserve this level of hype.
I would prefer Ape Escape or Legend of the Dragoon (a J-RPG on PS4 from Sony would be excellent!) over this but hey, that would be great for those who loved Blasto.
jet moto
medievil
legend of legia
legend of dragoon
syphon filter
dark cloud
jak and daxter
rouge galaxy
demon souls
just to name a few, their backlog is huuuuuge.
Legend of Dragoon 2? Jeez what I would do... I've been waiting ages for a new Syphon as well.
i agree it looks shit for the hardcore gamer i think .. looks good for the casual player.
Only thing that comes to mind from Blasto is Blasto the Hanar Spectre! Haven't even heard of this franchise, but I probably now get the reference :D
DefaultPrime writer Mike Patuleia takes a stroll down memory lane, looking at some PlayStation titles gone to the wayside that Sony should take a second look at bringing back into the fold with the advent of the PlayStation 4.
I'd like to see a Legend of Dragoon which features some flying, as well as some other things, but that's just me.
Yeah, I had Legend of Dragoon on my initial list, but decided to cut it down to 5.
Not just you, me too....
Legend of Dragoon
MediEvil
Jak 4
Dark cloud
Legacy of Kain (soul reaver)
Also something new from Oddworld in a big way...
Heavenly Sword is always a given when these lists pop up.
I'd like to see a new Lair. That game could've been better than Drakengaurd (did is spell that right?), had it not been for the poor execution. But i know Sony wouldn't allow it.
Game was an unpolished gem. We'll prolly never see another game like it.... what a shame.
I'm still curious to what the original trilogy Ninja Theory had planned for Heavenly Sword was, could've been epic, still could be if Sony would green-light it again...
Games I was going to include but ultimately got cut:
Alundra
Ape Escape
Arc The Lad
Dark Cloud
Jet Moto
Legend of the Dragoon
MediEvil
Primal
Wild Arms
Sir Dan is due for a return and given his appearance in PSallstars I'd say it's actually likely. Whether on Vita or PS4 is the question. Also a man loved Ape Escape 1 but haven't played the series since.
Haze is another game they should try to revive again. Think GG could handle it pretty well.
With or without Nariko?
I always thought the best way to make HS a franchise would be by having the sword found and used by a new protagonist each time, likely at a different point in the world's history. Every game ending with the protagonist dying in sacrifice to the sword against whatever evil they must face.
Unfortunately franchises tend to revolve around the character. I'd love to see this one revolve around the titular sword.
*****HEAVENLY SWORD SPOILERS*****
I always thought a HS2 would have Kai as the protagonist (a grown-up Kai). At the end of HS Kai promises Nariko that she would take protect the sword. Heavenly sword was such a great game because eventhough Nariko was looked down on (an underdog) she still fought a died for what she believed in, and it was beautifully told. I think Kai fighting off baddies, trying to keep her promise to her dying friend would make for an equally beautiful sequel.
I would of prefered if Nariko would of somehow returned for the sequel, but you make a great point and I too would love to see a new protagonist.
Sony’s answer to Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. pits some of the most popular PlayStation heroes and villains against each other. Recognizable characters like God of War’s Kratos, Uncharted’s Nathan Drake, and Twisted Metal’s Sweet Tooth have been confirmed as playable fighters, but the final roster is yet to be determined by the game’s developers.
Sadly, it’s unlikely that All-Stars Battle Royale will feature every Sony first-party series — the publisher just has too many franchises for this to be a reasonable expectation. Let’s take a look at some Sony properties that probably won’t make it into the game due to poor sales, overall weirdness, or horrible design.
Well, I guess that is your loss then.
Though if you are not interested then you are not interested. I for one cannot wait. I remain cautious over it... I just want more info: that seems to be a bit lacking atm.
can't wait for this. an roblef I dont think your comment matters. no one can hear you over the demand for this game.
Really? Most places I visit call it a SSB clone but just not as good or fun looking.
I'm cautious over it mainly because of the footage I saw from E3. I saw the guy playing as sweet tooth do one move about the entire time haha.
i am not sure if i want to get this game it does not look as fun as SSB you know with the % and trying to stay in the game with like 200% we will see how things turn out with all stars
Straight up Mario Kart clone with Mod Nation Racer, and now this. Wii motes turned to Sony Move controllers, and Achievements turn to trophies.
It's been a great generation for consoles!
Just like M$ copied the PS EYETOY with kinect huh??
Where is GEX??
Hows that "Pro controller" for the WiiU sit with you? Does it feel just like your 360 one?
@Majin-vegeta,Soldierone,princ e_dim
Really? We are all going to be immature now?
I will start with prince first
1) Mario Kart did not invent karting, and modnation actually allowed you to create your own character, kart and track... and Mario Kart 7 took that cart creation aspect from Mod Nation
2) All that la-de-da about Sony having the idea for move
3)I didn't know misrosoft invented awards, achievements and trophies are the same god damn thing... if all games were making achievements, why not trophies
@Majin
1) Who cares if the kinect did copy the eyetoy, VR tech existed way before the eye toy, and the kinect has mutli-media functions, unlike the eye toy
@Soldierone
1) People complained about the wiiU gamepad,so they made a controller. Why not. I do not know a person who games who only owns a wii, but a ps3, 360 and a PC as well. Why not give them a familar experience? Nintendo shouldn't invent some new kind of controller all over again. Have something familiar
You all need to grow up.... by taking ideas, the gaming industry can never grow
Screaming copy cat?
You are weak from the fear that Sony might produce something better than Nintendo.

I bet 10 million space dollars Ezio will be in AS. The music they used in the e3 trailer is the same as the one that was used in AC2's first gameplay trailer. Not to mention Ubi+Sony's buddy, buddy relationship, and the fact Ezio was in the micheal trailer... he's almost guaranteed in it (or someone else from Ac... maybe Connor)
