"Unless Sony intended for tonight’s PS3 exclusive announcement on GT.TV to deceive the audience, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale from SuperBot Entertainment should be expected to become an official upcoming video game release tonight."

"Will it be a direct representation of Nintendo’s highly successful Super Smash Bros. franchise or do they have a completely original concept in place? We shall find out tonight, but regardless, there is no arguing the fact that this will either enrich the overall image of the PlayStation brand, or leave loyal fans with a bad taste that may never go away."
We'll just have to wait and see how the game is. Can't really judge it just yet (No footage, just wait until GTTV airs before you decide if you like it or not).
I expect this game to sell over a million at launch as long as it looks even ever so slightly promising.
From the view point of the fans, yes, this is a risk/opportunity. You can either get people feeling like this game is a Super Smash Brothers rip-off or you can get people feeling like this game is a masterpiece that is original enough to standout on it's own.
Fighter's Megamix was released by Sega in 1996
X-Men vs Street Fighter was released by Capcom in 1996
But when Nintendo released Smash Brothers its like they invented the crossover fighting genre like Apple invented touchscreen smart phones.
How can this be a risk when its an old tried and true genre and formula.
Fanboys.
and after all, arent all the FPS games a blatant ripoff of Wolfenstein3D?
sure the gameplay is very VERY similar to ssb, but honestly its not a reason for the nintendo fans to go apeshit because the gameplay is similar.
..if the game is good and fun...whats the problem?
I guess it is half true what you said.
King of Fighters was a true mix of all different SNK game but it was released in the era where fighting games in arcades ruled... well good fighting games anyway.
Fighters Megamix was pretty rubbish but I didn't really play it that much to be able to comment about it.
X-men vs Street Fighter was basically X-men game with street fighter characters doing crazy moves to keep up... That was a major risk for the SF franchise I suppose.
But main point I was trying to point out is that KoF and XvSF has solid fighting mechanics and the characters in the game wasn't its unique selling point.
SSB basically relies on its characters and brands. I can't comment too much because I haven't played the game too much and it always felt like a random button basher game that doesn't require skill.
I do hope he's in it.
since the studio is new that's doing the game that's my only concern hopefully they know how to handle a fighting system that's rewarding
Jesus, from achievements... errrr I mean trophies, to Wii motes...errrr I mean Move. Sony is such a copy cat this generation.
Game looks like a PS2, Wii mix of a game. Graphics look mixed between last and this generation imo. Completely unoriginal. Wow... this far into the generation, and this is what they come up with
Because you don't want to further reveal yourself as being a total 360 fanboy? :P
Defending Kinect was all I needed to hear.
But I would love to see you explain how Xbox avatars are such an original idea. lol
the concept of potentially having cloud fight kratos is to awesome for words.
That's like saying Mario would have failed if Smash Bros had failed. These are mostly established franchises we're talking about.
Quite frankly, this game not performing well wouldn't keep me from buying God of War. And just because it has "the entire PlayStation line-up" doesn't mean it failing would have negative implications on other franchises. If anything a singular franchise like God of War failing would be a lot more shocking and negative than something Sony is trying out for the first time.
Your logic is backwards.
Just look at mortal kombat.
Name was tarnished by dc vs mk, but that didnt stop fans from loving the newest game.
I dont think if this game bunks, it will ruin the characters image or anything
The entire PlayStation line up is not on the line. This game doesn't reflect any of the characters within it. You act like the survival of Sony's characters are riding on the success if this game. What do you think that people will reject Parapa the Rapper and Sir Dan if they are in this game and cancel the games they were in forever from their minds.
As far as I was aware, Superbot hasn't even said that AllStars is the game they've been working on.
There are pics of them using arcade sticks so obviously it will be a fighting game.
Not to mention the creative director provided pics to what they were working on which is obviously PlayStation All-Stars.

Smash Bros.'s tournament scene says "hello".
:-( i'm kinda pissed i'm on the west! :-( hate that its showing so late!
Over the years Sony has created so many IP's and a lot of the characters created by Sony IMO are largely under the radar-- like for instance I'm sure there's tons of gamers out there beyond the internet communities who've never heard of characters like Sweet Tooth because Twisted Metal was a pretty small franchise and wasn't a huge seller. This game would be a perfect opportunity to increase the visibility of the lesser known characters on Playstation...it just needs to be marketed really well, and I hope it's not some Move Exclusive title either.

I already ate worked out and played video games already.
I guess I have to kill time and masturbate until it airs
I know many people want a game like this so I think it can easily sell a million units.
It would be hilarious if it was Kevin Butler or Sackboy.
Kevin Butler will probably be the big boss...
And SSBB was not the first 4 players brawler in videogame history, so no need to cry for N fans...
SONY the SHAME :-(
What a terrible damn name. Doesn't roll off the tongue at all.
