More PlayStation All-Stars Evidence Revealed, Will Include PaRappa the Rapper, Toro

"Hungry for more information about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale? Don’t want to wait until Thursday to find out more about the game? Read On." - PSLS

[ftwrthtx]

I wonder if Jak & Daxter will work together as one unit.

[Abash]

Toro is in the game to boost Japanese sales

[doctorstrange]

Is to make me happy

[Nitrowolf2]

oh BTW this one:
http://superbotentertainmen...

That looks like Mario TBH (obviously not int he game)

[n4gisatroll]

@nitro,

It does look like Mario. Maybe that person just likes mario?

[Patriots_Pride]

@GRZA - or maybe the want some inspiration from the worlds greatest All Start Battle fight game -_-

[Nexgensensation]

And not some imitation. but if so a imitation why stop there Sony? Lets lease the digimon franchise and make our own pokemon game! whats stopping us?

[sikbeta]

It would be awesome to see the Mother of Battles with each character representing their Devs, like Jak and Dax for ND + Kratos for SSM + Sly for SP and so on...

[Soldierone]

@above, actually Yu-Gi-Oh on PS1 was awesome.....

[sinncross]

YES!!! Toro!!!

So glad to hear that. I was apprehensive that they may have left the poor cat out.

I just hope they do not throw multiple characters from the same IP into the game... they should really spread the IP's with a single character for the first game.

Can't wait to see this get revealed!

[smashcrashbash]

No doubt. I am sure Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank will work as one. Clank and Daxter will probably act as extra attacks or something. All I can say at this point is I will be very disappointed if this game is not real. I am trying not to get excited and get my hopes up but I can't help it. I want to see Sly, Ratchet and Jak duke it out.

@ VsAssassin. Good idea. A wind dance that destroys the enemy, kinda like killer ballet

[Relientk77]

So far this is what we have, from all past articles on this game since Dec:

Kratos
Nathan Drake
Toro
PaRappa the Rapper
Sackboy
Sweet Tooth
someone from Killzone (Colonel Mael Radec, I think)
Fat Princess
Sly Cooper
Jak & Daxter
Cole (from InFamous)

and some image of a female, so a female character

others hinted at strongly: Ratchet & Clank

[sarshelyam]

Female is likely Nariko from Heavenly Sword.

[Relientk77]

That is my top guess actually because everyone wants to see her Vs. Kratos.

My secondary guess is Lara Croft, from Tomb Raider

[sarshelyam]

If I had to guess, and I'm taking a stab here, if 3rd Party characters made an appearance (which I think they will), Lara is a prime candidate for a supporting female lead.

I'm pretty sure they showed early renders of Nariko last year for this, so that's why she gets my vote.

[NBT91]

And plus it might be that just because they are in the game, doesn't necessarily mean they are playable characters. There are tons of pokemon (pokemen?) in SSB that are not actually controllable. Plus they could be like collectible statues in the game, if they are really trying to clone the SSB success formula.

I think it would be wise to include Sora from Kingdom Hearts before Nintendo do. They need some real surprise appearances though like Sonic and Snake being in SSB

[Aither]

I personally would push for Square and Konami to allow for Cloud and Old Snake to be thrown in as well.

[gaden_malak]

Kevin Butler...muhaahhahaa

[user5467007]

I like how theres a Wii in the office...

If they are playing SSBB then it's like they're thinking

"Alright guys, how do we take this amazing game and make it better"

The one thing which made me sad about SSBB was that there wasn't much added in terms of characters and stages. Masahiro Sakurai even said in an interview it was so they had stuff to add onto in the next Super Smash Bros game but really by then (usualy a next gen console) they would have a ton more characters to add. Lets not forget most of the new characters were just clones of exsisting characters in terms of moves and fighting styles.

[Sev]

Ken Kutaragi should be the final boss.

[a_bro]

he can predict your every move since he has a cell processor embedded to his brain LOL

[andibandit]

that joke fails on so many levels that it's actually funny.

[guitarded77]

Good eyes... great article.

[doctorstrange]

I wish we had CSI computers that could 'enhance' everything.

[Dee_91]

@doctorstrange luckily I do.In the reflection of her zipper I can see kazuma kiryu with kratos in a headlock.

[solidsheep]

@doctorstrange

[Virtual_Reality]

Ken Kutaragi and Kevin Butler against you!

[Skateboard]

PaRappa the Rapper will be my main.

[NukaCola]

Kick, Punch, It's all in the mind!

[VsAssassin]

Although its character might not be for brutality or for killing, I would like to see the cloaked, 'Journey' character be part of this. Imagine its super attack involving its long scarf wrapping around its foes and spin them like a top! Or, do melody/tune barrage too 'beat' (pun not intended) foes!

If they wouldn't allow such docile creatures to be part of the main game, they could at least include a level from Journey where the main characters can fight in.

[telekineticmantis]

...

[Skateboard]

I like!!!!

[metsgaming]

Kevin Butler as a playable character, make it happen.

[Relientk77]

I thought he would be a boss, actually

edit @ below: Nice, I am cool with it lol

[metsgaming]

how about if you beat him you can then play as him. Unlockable character =), either way he needs to be in the game !

[DarthBigE]

I was thinking he could be the announcer

[banjadude]

+1 for Kevin Butler playable character!

[Half-Mafia]

All I want to see is a fight between Kratos & Sackboy.

[basilezz3030]

fight for the ages lol
sackboy will rip kratos head off

[srcBFMVBMTH]

They are one in the same.

http://www.creativeuncut.co...

[basilezz3030]

lol now i know what kratos do after he kill those gods hahahaha

[hot4play]

Too bad Sony doesn't own Crash and Spyro anymore as they helped define the PS1 era. It would have been a reunion for the ages!

[smashcrashbash]

That may not be a factor at all. Remember Snake and Sonic don't belong to Nintendo either. Sony could get Crash and Spyro back for the game if the owners agree.

[Relientk77]

I REALLY hope Crash and Spyro are in it, and I completely agree

[quiddd]

Who is that chic? Developer or just a tester?

[Drainage]

lol at having a Wii to steal ideas from Smash bros

[Omar91]

that picture is awesome!

[Tommy334]

What kind of audience will this appeal to. Parappa most kids have no idea who he is.

[milohighclub]

Who said it was for the kids??? :D

[Acquiescence]

Whether you grew up with Parappa/Sir Daniel Fortesque/Crash, Jak/Ratchet/Kratos or Nathan Drake/Cole McGrath/Sackboy, it doesn't matter - there's something there for everyone.

And even better, there will be people out there who will play as the older characters and be compelled to check out their games from years back. A whole new generation may well discover the infinite joys of Parappa The Rapper.

[Kluv]

the audience that have stuck with sony for years!

[goldwyncq]

Releasing characters as dlc isn't very smart IMO.

[supremacy]

I am with you on that I think its a bad practice, but at the same time this just because it is DLC doesnt mean you have to pay for it. Sony's done this before where they had DLC for free, resistance 3 is proof of that.

Even so, the amount of characters already in play are enough for me. Anymore, would only make it even better.

[NastyLeftHook0]

nice list.

[moeqawama]

I'm still confused... is this a straight up fighter, like Tekken or Street Fighter, or is it like super smash bros? I guess the fighter stick in the article threw me off a little

[I_am_Batman]

I don't think they can compete with SF or Tekken. If it's a Smash bros. like game it would've no competition on the ps3 so I guess it'll be something like that.

[Bay]

Actually, I really doubt Toro will be in this. The Toro seen on someone's desk at the back is just the Toro Revoltech action figure that came out a while back.

Although maybe the studio devs are using it for reference, I dunno.

[Mikhail]

Lara and Crash should be in this game! Both were PS1 mascots!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Rai]

key word there is "were" man, Spyro should be in as well then but they don't own them anymore.

[-Gespenst-]

This game better have all the originals and not all these lame-o next gen guys. (Except R&C and J&D)

Lara Croft
Parappa
Spyro
Crash
Spike and Apes
Squall
Cloud
Sir Daniel Fortesque
Abe
Rayman
Tombi (Maybe a bit obscure)
Dr. Don and Dr. Dan

ROOTS.

[Rai]

they don't own squall cloud lara spyro or rayman. so they won't be in the game unless those companies allows sony to use them.

[-Gespenst-]

I'm sure they could easily acquire all of them. It's sony for chrissakes.

[NukaCola]

Ges, you get my vote just for putting in my slap happy fried Abe. I am so excited that Abe's Oddysee HD hits PS3 this year!

[KwietStorm_BLM]

The biggest worry I have with this game is that it will actually turn out good, and all the drones will come out as usual, talking Sony copying Nintendo. Mindless trolls don't hurt my gaming any, but they sure as hell make reading articles on the net more work than it needs to be.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

It would make sense to be playing fighting games for reference in the office.

Stupid n4g. This was in response to moeqawama above.

[STEWIE_PLAY_PS4]

If MGS was alone playstation?, I'm disappoint XBOX came MGS HD and Rise.

[chavo_superpoderoso]

@supremacy
excellent roster. Everytime I see people saying that Sony doesn't have enough characters I can't stop telling me "amateurs"

Nowadays teens invade this kind of forums commenting without even bother to do some research

[helghast102]

Game needs Sir Dan.
Sir Dan needs another game too while we're at it.

[Friendly_fiend]

i think sony need pull of out some characters from their older franchises
i want X1 prototype from GT5 to be in it but as a transformer

[NeXXXuS]

Legend of Dragoon characters please T_T
Then I MIGHT stop complaining about a remake ;D
