gaming PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

[000 206]

Makes me sad to know i dont have a PS3, only a very worn out PS2.

[Fire_Fly 499]

Every time I hear a piece of new news about this game I get more disappointed lol... So now they're basically adding in street fighter type combos and they copied the ability in super smash bros to evade to the left and right but without the shield...

 

The problem is they're changing stuff (probably because they have to in order to not be sued) or to make it just seem different from smash bros, and everything about the game is second rate as a result. It just doesn't come off as a coherent game at all, it seems so forced.

 

My main concern was forced-looking gameplay. I think it looks a little forced, too, but that may be due to the overall diversity of the characters. When you think about it, there aren't too many ways you can do a mashup game like this successfully, and any game like this is BOUND to look just like the Smash Bros. games, since it's really the only mechanic style that fits so many characters from so many different age group-appealing games in one place. What makes it look less believable than Smash Bros. might be the fact that some characters don't seem too suited for this kind of figting game, and would more likely be better suited for arcade fighters like Tekken. For example, Kratos looked A LOT better in Mortal Kombat.

Two fresh new gameplay vids!

We got some awesome aerial combos going on here.

Looks like we can defend ourselves from Super Moves.

 

These two videos disprove two theories made by fans from the initial videos:

 

1) That combos are made only for raising the super meter, they are obviously able to knock people around as well

 

2) That killing is not limited to supers, at least not in all stages. It does look like in a lot of stages that the edges are all boxed in so the only real way to take enemies out is with the Supers which knock them far enough to knock them out of the ring but there were, as far as I could see, stages with some bottomless pits so that in combination with the point I made above means there's always the possibility of being able to kill without supers.

 

I'd also like to mention that while it does look like some characters like Nathan do seem to have more "plain" that doesn't mean they are mundane in their functionality. Look at Marth in Super Smash Bros Melee. His attacks are nothing but sword strikes and nothing as flashy as Roy or Ike's attacks which include bursts of fire yet he's arguably one of the fastest characters and was really easy to use and do combos with.

Why is sackboy not in this??

[hellocat 308]

Why is sackboy not in this??

 

Because they don't want to announce him yet. They want to keep up the hype.

Thery're still in the process of revealing characters, I think, so stay tuned for more announcements.

[GrooveBroove 680]

So apparently a leak went up and this is what was put out

 

Raiden (Metal Gear Solid Revengeance),

Dante (the new one - from DmC),

Ratchet (Ratchet and Clank),

Sackboy (Little Big Planet),

Spike (Ape Escape),

Sir Daniel (MediEvil),

Nariko (Heavenly Sword)

Evil Cole (InFamous 2).

 

(Take with a grain of salt, since this may not be complete or even official but the source is pretty good)

 

 

These are leaked stages and IGN has the images posted, they look legit.

SLY COOPER ~ PARIS STAGE

TWISTED METAL ~ BLACK ROCK STADIUM STAGE

BIOSHOCK: INFINITE ~ COLUMBIA STAG

KILLZONE ~ INVASION STAGE

INFAMOUS ~ ALDEN'S TOWER STAGE

LOCO ROCO STAGE

That character selection sounds about right.

 

As for the stages, I won't believe that until they're confirmed. While they do sound likely, the one thing that takes it all away is the fact that they're all linked to only one franchise. The stages we've seen so far in this game were shared by two franchises (in most cases, one franchise would be the place, setting, and even some of the characters, while the other would be the hazard, another charcater). And also, I wouldn't mind single franchise stages. I mean, it's already awkward enough IMO for two franchises to be set for one stage.

They actually were talking about it.

Since the stages are just a simple image at the moment there's no way to tell what they meld with.

Rumor atm is Killzone and MGS which is a perfect fit.

I'll find the link and images

 

These were pulled off the beta so im using spoilers

This game look so EPIC. I am going to for sure ge this when it comes out a play it all night long...

[Sepia-chan 495]

http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=6014441

Yeah, I don't like it. I don't want it to exist.

 

 

Filling up space is not my friend I don't want to fill but I have too, woo.

[Discordian 6,015]

Super Smash Bros rip-off or not that doesn't immediately mean it won't be good. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is constantly called a God of War rip-off yet it's one of the best games in the series.

[GrooveBroove 680]

Like I said before nintendo doesn't own the rights to a Mascot Brawler.

It's like getting on sega for making Sonic All Star Racing (Which itself is pretty damn fun)

 

Not to mention for someone like me, who isn't a huge nintendo fan.

This is a great thing, since it gives me somewhat similar gameplay (While still adding enough to be unique and it's own thing)

with a roster of charcater's that I am more familar with.

 

I love me some brawl but im not going to lie, the only reason I do is because I can play as solid snake.

I know a lot of people love melee but to me the game was just alright since I never had any connection to any of the characters on the roster.

Public beta confirmed!

 

Also, there were numerous leaks according to the blog, but chances are, its not clear whether SCE confirms this or not, but, in the meantime, you'll get your first experience of this game in public beta before its debut release.
