Characters We Don’t Need In Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale

TheScrubDaily:"After the leaked list hit the web, many appetites were satisfied. From old throwbacks to new characters, the entire roster looks very pleasing. With the exception of DmC’s Dante.

Nobody wanted him.

So, because of that unfortunate inclusion, I’m worried that Sony might pick the wrong characters."

I want to see more 3rd party characters announced.

DasBunker4286d ago

Why the disagrees?

If anything we kinda know which sony characters will be in... on the other hand 3rd party ones are open to many possibilities.

Also this opinion piece is garbage, has no depth, could've been a forum thread typed by a 16 y/o.

"Hana from Yakuza"

2 things

1: I think that would actually be pretty cool, well funny at least.

2: Why would any one seriously consider Hana over longtime protagonist Kiryu Kazuma, or popular recent characters like Shun Akiyama?

TheSpoiler4286d ago

Because they seriously considered longtime protag Real Dante over the unpopular DmC Dante. Gross!

Relientk774286d ago

I cant believe that the new emo Dante will be used over the old Dante which everyone likes

TronEOL4286d ago (Edited 4286d ago )

My only problem with them using the new Dante over the old one is the fact that the new Dante is born on multiple platforms. So he isn't in the slightest one of Playstation's "All-stars".

The Dante that Sony is known for is the Dante from DMC1-3. So this is clearly Capcom pushing the new Dante into the game for advertising purposes and Super Bot agreeing with it.

It would have made (infinitely) more sense to have DMC1 Dante, with unlockable costumes for every other Dante that followed (including DmC Dante).

As for people claiming the new Dante is "unpopular", that's not true. More gamers actually find the new Dante better and more suiting to the character (which I, a long time DMC fan*, completely agree with).

The only reason you don't hear from these people often is because they don't scour every DMC forum and video to post about it.

*don't confuse fan with fanboy

Guys don't blame superbot... blame Capcom

They control how Dante is represented in the game

DrRobotnik4286d ago (Edited 4286d ago )

At this point, who cares about Dante. Put Virgil in that shit!

GTRrocker6664286d ago

I want gex and croc. Those characters are awesome. This guy doesn't know what hes talking about

DrRobotnik4286d ago

I'm kinda surprised they didn't put Lara Croft on their list. I know Tomb Raider appeared on the SS as well but the PS1 was the true start for TR success...And don't forget Tenchu Stealth Assassin or Nightmare Creatures Characters too.

Reverent4286d ago

Oh... Another PSASBR list article...

DrRobotnik4286d ago (Edited 4286d ago )

And you don't remember the Super Smash Bros. Brawl list articles? Grab a seat, this will take a while.

Reverent4286d ago

Oh I do, but still lol damn.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Launched 10 Years Too Early

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.

CrimsonWing69520d 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.

PapaBop520d 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.

spoonard520d 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.

Magatsuhi520d 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__Merrin520d 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.

Nyxus527d ago

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

Deathdeliverer526d 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.
