The ESRB Rates PlayStation All-Stars, Hilarity Ensues

As with all ESRB ratings, we will only post them if they include some sort of important information about the game previously unknown, or if they are funny for absolutely no reason. This one falls under the latter. - PSLS

This is hysterical. They have no idea what any of these characters are about.

This is exactly what the ESRB isn't good enough, they know nothing about the medium.

TrendyGamers4167d ago

It's like they were trying to explain everything in the cleanest way possible and it made it that much funnier.

Canary4167d ago

It's called formal language. It's... necessary for adults.

"This is exactly what the ESRB isn't good enough, they know nothing about the medium."

Nice try to defend your own website. The thing you're forgetting is, all of those descriptions are made intentionally the way they are since no one gives to f*cks about ESRB but parents who want to learn more about to game without needing to know anything about the game's lore. And they've been doing these types of "explanations of games" for years. Long story short, horrible article.

Hahaha, love it. "One bear-like fighter can perform a flatulence attack to strike opponents...."

The ESRB folks must be confused as hell XD

Gerobe4167d ago

If there are ever any PSASBR Tournaments they need to hire these guys to commentate it.

TalesFromTheBud4167d ago

i dont see how this is funny. if you are someone who knows nothing about video games and you are trying to buy something for your kid this tells you simply what happens in the game.

i mean, i see the humor but i disagree with anyone saying the ESRB is no good. they did exactly what their purpose is.

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.

CrimsonWing69514d ago

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.

PapaBop514d ago

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.

spoonard514d ago

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.

Magatsuhi514d ago

Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.

Father__Merrin514d ago

Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it

God of War: Ragnarok Weirdly Makes PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Canon

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.

Nyxus521d ago

I wouldn't say canon. More like an easter egg.

Deathdeliverer520d ago

That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
