WC writes: There would appear at first glance to be two kinds of people in this world. Those who regard Playstation All Stars Battle Royale as a wonderful homage to some of Sony’s most beloved franchises both past and present, regardless of the needlessly long title. Then there are others who look upon the upcoming brawler royale as a cheap bastardisation of Nintendo’s greatest franchise. Of course it’s not that simple. I can’t wait for All Star Battle Royale (which from here on out will be referred to as BR because it’s a stupid name) because of what Nintendo has done with it’s own property. Battle Royale for many, much like myself has been a game that’s been 13 or more years in the making.
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.
Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it
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.
This game along with Little Big Planet Karting are my most anticipated releases this year, so I hope that they don't disappoint. What I've played of the LBP Karting beta so far has been absolutely amazing fun, so hopefully PlayStation All-Stars is good as well.
They should put Noctis from Versus XIII in there just for the heck of it. His character and move set would just be full of win. That game is going to be coming to PS3 at some point in the next couple of years so it would be a great marketing opportunity for Square. If not on release I hope as DLC.
On topic: cannot wait for this game and LBP Karting. Been waiting for PSASBR and a fresh kart racer for years. Despite the haters and downplayers both games look like ridiculous fun.
You can never satisfy everyone. Especially the die hard fans of the other game. I don't know how someone can become so attached and loyal to a game where anything like it they wont play and bash every little detail.
