PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale fans have been persistent over the past 12 days as the Twitter count for the #ReleaseDart campaign has been raised over 1300 tweets (1326 at the time of writing). For those who do not know, #releasedart is a campaign to get Sony Santa Monica to continue the previously cancelled DLC character, Dart, from the classic J-RPG, Legend of Dragoon. Fans have been tweeting to @sonysantamonica, @yosp (Shuhei Yoshida, the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment) and @sethkillian (the lead game designer at Sony Santa Monica) with the hashtag, in an effort to bring this character to fruition. In addition to that, the All-Stars community have created a change.org petition which is very close to its goal of 1000 signatures with 59 to go.
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.
It's going to take a lot more than that to get this game going again... Especially now that the build up to the next Super Smash game has properly started.
A small-ish roster, a somewhat dull story mode and no unlockable characters killed it for me.
Double Slash!!!
