The outline is supposed to indicate that the characters are ready to pull off their super moves (that's what the energy bar at the bottom is for). it's a three-tier super, and you need to use supers to be able to defeat opponents.

"So, in the past few months we've had Sony announcements for a Mario Kart ripoff (LBP Karting) and a Smash Brothers ripoff (PS All-Stars). Could this be a subtle indicator of the direction Sony is heading with their next-gen console? Should we be prepared for a PS3/PS4 transition along the lines of Gamecube/Wii?"

They could even use hardware for playable characters

PS Move - jumps on the stage, everyone on screen pauses for a second then shrugs, it slowly creeps back offstage

PS Vita - has all the best attacks but doesn't know how to use them, requires an extra powerup to start working, shrinks in size until it disappears

While this is extra shameless, Sony's entire software strategy on PS1 was built upon copying other popular games. Heck, the only reason Syphon Filter even exists is due to Sony wanting a counter to Goldeneye.

Besides, the two last times Sony did a blatant copy of something Nintendo, they made something better.

- Patapon + God of War
- God of War + Ratchet

More characters like Parappa and less like fucking Radec. No one cares about Killzone. The characters in that franchise are about as memorable as the sandwich I made for my lunch yesterday.

One thing I will give this game is that I think the stage transitions are really cool. It's a good way to incorporate franchises that would be difficult to represent with characters (specifically LocoRoco).

Sony lost the sales (not that I think they cared because they put the thing out with no support), but Move is largely considered superior to Nintendo Waggle. Still waggle at the end of the day though.

Loco Roco and Patapon would make rad characters.  With Fat Princess they've shown that they're willing to made mental decisions that require a bit of creativity to get to work in the game style, I think LR and Patapon would work as well.  Kat ought to be a lock too.  It's a shame that Sony's best-known and relevant characters are their absolute bottom-of-the-pile worst (except for Sackboy, but I have been soured on him by all the avatars).

And an Echochrome stage would be awesome :o

Title: Re: PlayStation All-Stars
Post by: brob on April 27, 2012, 10:02:52 AM
The downfall of this game, from watching those GameTrailers chucklefucks talk about it, will most likely be how it's built around the Final Smash mechanic from Brawl. Final Smash is the grossest example of Nintendo trying to mitigate skill disparity since Mario Kart's blue shell.  Parappa has a super that insta-kills everyone. that's like eight blue shells of holy shit this is hot trash.

At the very least I hope they have a mode where you get a different scoring system. Ideally, I would love the smash percentage system, but maybe the developer feels that's too close to Smash and/or they believe their own "it looks similar, but it's actually different" spin.

I hope they include some of the more fun characters and not too much real people nonsense like killzone/resistance/uncharted/whatevz. Loco Roco and Patapon could be swarm-like characters where you had direct control over a small group of loco rocos/patapons and the amount of characters you had could be affected.

There isn't one.  There are a lot of shitheads, but none of them are interesting enough to be visible and none of them have a manufactured personality (other than Takao - who I also like, when he's not trying to get serious).

I wish Drake wasn't even in this game. He's too realistic compared to everyone else, but unfortunately there's no way he won't be in this.

I just hope SCEJ's franchises are included. Parappa, Hot Shots, and Patapon already being featured in some form is a good sign.

Game looks less bad than expected.  Was much safer to just make a smash clone than try to make an original party fighter that would have been terrible.

Still, no interest in playing it since the Sony cast are not people I want to play as in fighting games.

Post by: brob on April 27, 2012, 12:16:36 PM
Does the Fat Princess Princess have a fatness mechanic? can you press down and square at the same time to eat cake for instance and get fatter? Does getting fatter mean you move/attack slower and deal more damage? If you max out your fatness do you grab turn into a oicho throw?

answer: no, because this game won't be as cool as the concept allows.

I wonder what happened to Jumping Flash. Sony made 4 of those games on PS1 and then it just vanished.

I wonder if Scamco would allow Klonoa to be DLC or something? Then again, based on the Wii remake's sales I'm probably going to be the only one who'd want to play as Klonoa in this game.

Parappa 2 did okay, but not anywhere near Parappa 1's numbers.  Umjammer Lammy was a disaster, actually.  They shipped a ton but it ended up being rotten stock.  And the PSP port of Parappa 1 had the unfortunate job of being a full-priced PS1 game on PSP that dropped just before Sony added $5.99 PS1 games to the thing.  It sold accordingly.

I would love to see Parappa make a comeback, but I don't know if there's a place for him anymore.  :'(

This is actually smash brothers.  That's actually hilarious.

What they've shown and said sounds safe.  Character roster is Kratos and people you'd expect, and then Parappa to say "see we're bringing in old favorites!" and Fat Princess, "it's a semi-obscure character!"  Action looks like smash bros, physics and all, only with a twist to win.  Attacks only serve to charge up your super meter, and the supers are the only attacks that matter.  So it's like Dissidia, only there's no health bar.  The system in smash is because it's a versus platformer game and the entire goal is to stay on the platform while knocking the other guy off.  It balanced attacks by making fast or ranged rapidly decrease an opponent's defense, while the slower attacks knock them away.  I don't get what they're going for.

Doesn't look bad, surprisingly.  It looks polished, stages are kinda neat, and with a name as stupidly generic as All-Stars Battle Royale, it looks competent unlike Move Heroes on the Move.  It's just...Smash brothers.  I like smash brothers, but I would've liked an arena game like power stone or gundam vs gundam.

And I don't think they'll go crazy with the fan service like they need to.  Smash Bros Melee went stupid and had Ice Climbers and Mr Game and Watch.  Sony doesn't have as great a history as Nintendo, but no one cared about Ice Climbers, or Pit from Kid Icarus, or even knew who Marth was, or Ness, but they were still in there.  Have a guy from Genji summon a giant enemy crab as a special.  Really stupid stuff like that.  Dark Cloud people, the father from incredible crisis, a space ship from colony wars fighting omega boost.

edit:  read something that said third party characters will be in this too.  that makes it better, maybe.

Come on.  This is a very smart business move.

How much do you think it cost Sony to finance this no-name developer to sit down and copy Smash Bros with Sony characters?  This is not a very expensive game to develop.  Otoh it will sell ok amounts.  Nothing like Smash, but Sony fanboys and people who want party games and the occasionally curious person will pick it up and maybe it'll do 500k sales in the first few months.  Then Sony can spend even less money developing yearly or bi-yearly sequel updates with more characters and continue to profit while having a mascot fighter to list in their "vs. Nintendo" power point presentations.

There was no reason not to make this game.

I think the real problem is that Smash a character-driven affair.  It gives spergs glee to see Mario fighting Fox who will fight Link.  Sony characters aren't anywhere near as well known or iconic.  So you have a party game featuring a bunch of unknown characters (while banking its success on how well the unknown characters will be known) who will be glowing.  There isn't a sizable contingent of people who know of Parappa and even fewer people who want to have Parappa fight against Kratos.

Maybe Sony can pay good money to have Mega Man or Sonic in this game.

Certainly Smash owes it success to fan-wank novelty, but the mechanics that lay the foundation in smash are really good. I have yet to play a game that competently copies it. Was hoping this would be the Smash Bros' Crash Team Racing.

The only characters Nintendo have that outsell Sony products are Mario and Pokemon. Everything else gets outsold ESPECIALLY in the case of games where their minor characters star in (wario world, peach castle, kirby) so this argument is invalid

because it's become increasingly obvious they don't have a fucking clue what to do with vita, in typical sony fashion they just threw it out there and went TA-DA! and expected everyone to fall all over it, and then the cricket sounds.

just like ps eye. just like ps move. only this thing costs the same price as their home console.

two games have been announced in the last two months (this, and lbp karting) which would have been perfectly suitable for a handheld, and in both cases "no plans for vita." they really, truly, have absolutely no idea what the fuck they're doing. they will abandon the fuck out of the vita as soon as the PS4 is officially announced.

I don't know why Sony would pay to advertise third party characters... They've already confirmed third party characters will be in this game.

It would be amazingly cruel if MegaMan were to appear in this game, and he just so happened to be Volnutt. Volnutt is the closest MegaMan to PlayStation history as every Legends game has been on Sony hardware.

my question is why isnt this day and date on vita

Because that creates an "either/or" situation Does someone spring for the PS3 version, or the Vita version? By doing a late port you add content not in the PS3 version, and give it a chance to shine on its own without getting buried by the PS3 version. I'd expect SuperBot to be working on a Vita version once development gets closer to the finish line.

Both this an LBP Karting scream obvious Vita games to me.

I think that Sony is probably already looking for ways to drop the Vita without it turning into a disaster.  It will be a big question to see what there is for Vita at E3.  If the answer is "jack shit," I think we can expect a slow, quiet death until the PS4 comes out in which they can just discontinue production.

I have a feeling the reason it's not on Vita, like with LBP Karting and a ton of other stuff, is the magic port button doesn't work yet.  Vita came in underpowered and it's not easy at all to port games from PS3 to Vita.  I think devs are trying to learn how to program for Vita right now so that they can make it super easy and cheap to port over to in the future.  But I feel like Sony threw out Vita, even to developers, at the last minute and everyone needs to sit down for a year and learn how to program on the damn thing.

The graphics look so ugly and charmless though... Parappa's face looks fucked up, the backgrounds look kinda ugly and drab, and the white glow around the characters makes shit even worse. Brawl didn't look as aesthetically pleasing and consistent compared to Melee, but still looks a helluva lot better than this.

That said, I'm interested in seeing what other characters make it in, see how obscure they get. Fat Princess is a good start, but Sony's success was made off its 3rd parties. Cloud, Solid Snake, Lara Croft, Claude (GTAIII), Dante... should all be in. And also a Wipeout stage that plays similar to Big Blue.

I kind of wonder how many third party characters they can afford.  Contrary to what Dr. Takao thinks, unless there's some kind of quid pro quo thing going on, licensing characters usually costs money.  It's especially hard to dangle the free advertising thing with an unproven first installment that will also have other third party characters barging in on your free promotion.

Even with Smash Bros., Sonic was a quid pro quo involved with the Mario & Sonic Olympic deal, and Snake involved money changing hands.

Sony has had Kratos, Toro, Kuro, and Cole appear in a few third party games recently like Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, Touch My Katamari, Street Fighter X Tekken and a couple of other third party releases. I believe Boon teased the possibility of Scorpion being in this game (even though MK isn't really a franchise I'd associate with PlayStation, but okay) and they'll probably need a Scamco, and Capcom character or two.

The only situation where I could see Sony directly paying out money for characters to appear in this game is with Activision (dat bandicoot), and Konami (Snake). While the Sony x Square bromance has basically died over the last couple of years I think the latter wouldn't object to having Lightning and Lara appear in this. I can see Square asking money for Cloud, but I can also see Sony not paying for that.

But those are for characters that should be in this game. I have the nagging suspicion we'll get Assassin's Creed junk in this even though that isn't really a part of PlayStation History.

I'd have to dig up the Reddit thread again, but I believe he said the major hurdle is that SCEA no longer does QA for PS2 games.  He's trying to see if he can get another SCE branch which still accepts PS2 games for QA and see if SCEA will accept that for a PSN release.

Quote
The player takes on the role of PaRappa, a paper-thin rapping dog, who is trying to win the heart of a flower-like girl named Sunny Funny. However, he is intimidated by the presence of Joe Chin, a rich, narcissistic dog who goes overboard with his attempts to impress Sunny.

To impress Sunny Funny, PaRappa learns to fight at a kung-fu dojo, and takes a driver's education course to get his license. However when he crashes his Dad's car, he has to earn money at a flea market to pay for it. When Sunny's birthday comes up, PaRappa has to get cake, but ends up ruining it after an encounter with Joe. He makes a new one by watching a cooking show, and proceeds to eat a lot of it on the day. When spending some time alone with Sunny, he is suddenly overcome with the need to go to the bathroom. PaRappa has to rap against his previous teachers in order to get to the front of the line to the toilet.

Then one night, PaRappa is invited to Club Fun, and asks Sunny to go with him, to which she agrees. PaRappa then raps on stage with everybody, rapping solo at the end of the song and expressing his feelings for Sunny.

Nintendo paid a nominal fee for him.  Do you think there was anything in it for Konami?  They had no MGS games planned for Wii, and while Smash does sell more than MGS, it's not like being in Smash was going to sell more copies of MGS4.  No quid pro quo came out of it.  No Konami projects got any extra advertising from Nintendo.  So even if the idea was Sakurai and Kojima saying it would be awesome, the bean-counters at Konami are still going to want *something* out of the deal.

I haven't kept up on gaming news for years, and even when I did it was more of a time waster than thinking I had any inside track on the industry, but that said -

Isn't MGS a non-franchise in Japan and Snake in SSB would boost it's general recognition, and Kojima asked for him to be included. I seem to vaguely remember that.

Quote
Hello PlayStation, I’m Seth Killian. A few of you may know me as a familiar face in the world of fighting games, but I’m writing today to say that I’ve joined Sony as the lead game designer for the external group at the Sony’s Santa Monica Studio.


I was excited to join Santa Monica Studio in particular because of the chance to work with some great individuals, but also because of the incredible range of projects they take on. If you head out of my office and turn right, you’ll run into the “God of War: Ascension” team. If you turn left, you’ll find the Giant Sparrow crew working on “The Unfinished Swan.” There are other amazing studios in the world, but nowhere else that I know where you can find that kind of diversity combined with such a deep commitment to greatness–which also happens to sum up what’s so exciting to me about Sony overall.

The external group works with Sony’s outside studios — teams like Queasy Games (Sound Shapes), Fun Bits Interactive (Escape Plan), thatgamecompany (Flower, Journey), and… SuperBot Entertainment, makers of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale!

Fighting games are very close to my heart, and as someone that’s spent much of my life with traditional fighters, All-Stars has been a great opportunity to take a step back and rethink fighting fundamentals from the ground up. The entire team was put together from scratch to create this game, and they are loaded with fighting game superstars (including some impressive tournament credentials–I’m not even the first EVO finalist to join the team!) who love great combat just as much as I do.


All-Stars is also a total love-letter to Sony fans. From the characters, to their special moves, to the incredible level 3 supers, and the stages themselves, I’m not sure there’s ever been such a giant dose of fan-service in Sony history. Beyond great character designs or all the ingenious little ideas that make combat feel great, the real test of a great game to me is that “just *one* more game!” feeling. If it’s 3am and you have to work the next day, but you’ve still got the urge to play again, you know you’re doing something right. You only have to walk through SuperBot’s studio and see all the staff being scolded to stop playing their own game andget back to work to know that they’ve really got something special cooking.

You don’t have to take my word for it, however–we’ll be taking All-Stars on the road and making sure you guys have plenty of opportunities to go hands-on, starting with PlayStation’s first official presence at EVO this weekend. More details soon.

For everyone that’s already reached out, thank you so much for the kind welcome into PlayStation Nation, and for everyone else, I look forward to doing my absolute best to give PlayStation fans the great games they deserve.

10 years of industry experience tells me "no"

Seriously tho -- doing a high-profile lead GD replacement this late into production is beyond weird -- I wonder who he's replacing and the effect it's going to have on the team.

So apparently Crash, Spyro, Snake, Cloud, and Lara Croft won't be in this game. I'm not surprised SCE would make a mascot fighter without you know, the mascots of their platforms given they made a platform without securing the games that would sell said platform.

I know someone will bring up the Activision bitchiness, and that's probably why the two platformers are gone. But apparently both Musashi and Lightning are going to be in this game ... ? I guess Square Enix wouldn't want Croudu since it implies they'll do something with FF VII but meh.

They have both good and evil Cole (separately), MGR's Raiden, new Dante and a Bioshock Infinite stage. It should be clear to people that the roster is less an ode to old Sony and more just product placement for upcoming and recent PS3 games. Hence why we're also going to get Lightning instead of Cloud: to  hype up FFXIII-3.

I'm sure Activision and Square Enix would let those characters be used for a price.  I doubt Sony is willing to pay it because I think deep down, they know this game is going to be a pile of shit and will sell like shit, regardless of what character makes the roster.

Superbot just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about crossover fighters (I'm an expert), but memorable characters are a huge part of it. It's not like this is SNK and all your characters basically look the same. By neglecting beloved Sony games, Superbot brings shame to themselves, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the gaming public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale for either system, nor will they purchase any of Superbot's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Superbot has alienated an entire market with this move.

Superbot, publicly apologize and remove terrible characters like nega Cole and DINO or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I dunno man, SNK fighters are my go to 2D ones. I should've made it about a comment about Microsoft and Master Chief but I wasn't thinking.

But seriously though, DINO and Nega Cole are stupid. I can understand Raiden since the game doesn't have anyone really who uses a sword, and I can understand SE being a bitch and only giving Lightning but ugh. No one wants DINO, or Nega Cole. Cole is probably one of the most ugly lead character designs I've ever seen. His proposed redesign for the second one looked so much better, but apparently people like generic looking characters.

Stop using "DINO."  Nobody knows what the fuck that means.   :lol

All of that stuff was extracted from the beta btw. I think Big Daddy wasn't listed in any of the files there so I guess there's a chance the roster in that isn't 100%. I expect Superbot to make sure Evil Cole isn't really a separate character, but a different choice when you highlight over him after all the hate it's been (rightfully) getting.

I'm sure the SP is'nt too bad.

But the mp is just terrible and it mostly starts off with one thing: Terrible Infranty combat.

Besides the fact that the actual way the game plays here itself is wonky, there's the simple fact that you don't feel powerful. You don't feel like you have a chance to do anything, which leads you to basically just getting into a Starhawk or whatever other vehicle. And since those things are so abundant you have to ask yourself why would you ever be on the ground? You wouldn't, so now pretty much all these nicely designed big maps become pointless. Your not going to really want to traverse the cool nooks and crannies because run into anyone else's vehicle and you will die and whats the point when you can just easily spawn your own Starhawk(like everyone else) and go to town. I remember one map having this cool bridge with a bridge under it. Man if this was Battlefield or something this would be places for epic battles. You could have infantry underneath trying to get to the next control point while the tanks battle up top and have infantry up there to support it. Could just be epic. In Starhawk no one is there because to be there on the ground serves no purpose and you might as well be at your flag or spawn point since because vehicles are so easy to come by they are going to quickly pound the shit out of your base, because unlike 1 or 2 vehicles attacking your base in say a Battlefield game more like 5-10 of them will be there and there really cant be any breather for u as the enemy respawns and takes up the traveling part of getting to your base. No you will take out their starhwak and 5 secs later they will be back. Why even leave the base really?

I don't know as someone who likes to be on the ground and supporting my team I found the game to be mostly awful.

I find mascot fighting games fun for the part where I go "Man they really captured that character's persona" or "lol thats true to the character". I mostly find them fun when they are characters that have personality and are endearing. Which is not something I would say for a great deal of Sony's characters. Why the hell would I care about who can beat who?

I doubt you got permed for trolling Gust games (unless you straight up called someone a pedophile for playing those games or something  :lol) but rather having awful opinions you'd never shut up about. Which you're certainly displaying in this thread.  Kratos is a cool looking character who's got over the top anger issues. Far from the best "Sony has no personality" picks that even got in this roster.

Ok Real talk time now.

I've never found Kratos to be an actual character that I like. I was ok with the first GoW game. I get it he's mad because he was tricked into killing his family and even in the end after all he's done the fact is his family is dead is never going away. Thats fine.

But then the 2nd and third game happen and it's just over the top and it's annoying. The 3rd game sees you basically killing everyone and sending the world to hell for pretty stupid reasons. And then the game forces  you to have these deep "hope shit". I can't buy any of it because this entire game I've been like the biggest douche ever. I'm sorry I don't find douches to be likable or cool. Hes just an angry dude. There's no style to him. No wit just angry. Like you have that Russo character from that anime Baccono. He's like a good for nothing murder, but it's like entertaining because I don't know, he seems so ridiculously insane that it's funny. I'll like him. But I won't like Kratos because he's just a giant 1 note douche. I get it your angry, thats not entertaining. I hate his character.

There's nothing awful about my real opinions. How dare you say that. And no I won't shut up about them, because no I'll defend the way I think. And if you banned someone for that, then wtf. There's plenty of people who think "shitty things". Oh I'm sorry that I happen to disagree with you dosent mean you get to shut me out.

I don't really care for the God of War series either. I think they're all pretty much samey but I find the over the topness of it all pretty funny. It's come to a point where his rage has reached insane levels of brutality to bring visual spectacle to the audience who eats it up. I may not love the character itself, but he has a personality (even if it boils down to rage) and is fun enough to play as. There's a reason why people were disappointed that Accession is so multiplayer focused and it's because there are people who love the character and what he means. It is why the character has been in Hot Shots Golf, Mortal Kombat, and Soul Calibur as guest characters. People like his intense rage. On the flip side, there's people who may want to see a character who's brutally murdered thousands kicked in the face by a cat that wants to be human or even just interact in such a wildly different situation than what we'd expect from him.
Title: Re: PlayStation All-Stars (now legit thanks to Seth Killian)
Post by: Rahxephon91 on July 29, 2012, 09:24:48 PM
Fair enough. Maybe he has personality. But it's one I find very boring, which leads me to disliking his character and since he is a major element of this game leads me to not caring. I don't like PlayStation anyway so I'm bias, but even if I did I wouldn't get this game, because this roster so far has yet to entice me. I don't like Nintendo either, but it's hard to argue that Mario, Zelda, and even Pokemon are not iconic characters. But it's more then the fact that hey it's Mario beating up Zelda that makes Smash bros great. It's also just how they present the characters. Mario's moves are just like what he does in the game you are all very frimiliar with. What is a Helghast soldier going to do? Just shoot his gun? I don't remember them doing anything else, that sounds  bad. I mean look at the Pokemon Trainer in the Wii game, his speacil was hilarious because holy crap it was straight out of the game. I could care less about him fighting Snake, but I did like that Snake moved and behaved like his actual self.  Maybe you are right, for Kratos he has some personality and I guess it's impossible to argue that he is'nt enduring. But what about these other characters revealed?

Big Daddy-I guess he is Iconic, so yeah that makes it a worthwhile choice. The Big Daddy design is pretty memorable, but not something I would ever accsiaote with PlayStation(the 1st port came out latter). So why is he in the game? And what is he going to do? Just rush me with his thingy.

Cole MacGrath-Actually I'm ok with this. I think Infamous 1 was awful, but greatly enjoyed him in 2. When I played Street Fighter X Tekken I did like how his moves where straight out of the game. Like how is Ion Tornado or whatever was his specail. I sure hope this game does that. But I mean I don't really care for Cole. His character design is boring and his character was to. I don't know, if the next Infamous did'nt have him I wouldn't care. Thats not good for me. I don't really remember Cole at all.

Fat Princess- I don't know anything about this character or game.

Eh never mind. Listing these characters is pointless since I've never played their games and don't care to. I don't even have a point, but I mean for most of Smash, I hardly have played it's characters games but I sure know them. I had never played a Metriod before Other M, but I sure already knew all about Samus and laughed at her Turing into a ball. Never played a Mother game either, but liked the stages that were from it. Looking at the list so far I extremely doubt I would find myself caring about these characters and what they bring. Maybe the thing is honestly Nintendo and it's characters are more a part of Gaming Culture then Sony's characters are. That's it. Whatever the reason, I sure am unable to articulate why this game's rooster is so uninteresting, unlike Smash bros.

Starhawk was terrible. If I was still on GAF I would have shitted on that terrible game as much as possible.

This game also looks terrible. I don't understand why Sony characters fighting other Sony characters sounds fun.

Why does anyone find mascot fighters fun? Cause they can finally answer the question of who'd win a fight between Kratos or Nariko. The roster for this game is kind of janky, but obviously I don't have a problem with the concept of it existing.

No one ever asked that question, because no one cares.

Dino can't be defended, but reusing a model isn't going to take the place of a whole new character.  A clone is basically a freebie.
Anyway, Crash and Spyro suck too.
Does Sony own the rights to Robbit?  I read there was some issue with Tomba and Alundra, but I don't know how accurate that is.  It seems weird as hell that Sony wouldn't actually wholly own IPs they published.

SCEE/SCEA published Tomba in Europe, and North America. In Japan the developer published it themselves so that makes sense that SCE doesn't own it. They stopped publishing stuff they didn't own for a long while (I don't believe SCEA did it at all during the PS2+ era) until this year when they brought out Malicious for PSN.  As for Alundra, I'm fairly certain they own that but there may be a co-ownership agreement with Matrix or something, I dunno. There shouldn't be any issues with Jumping Flash though, since other studios made games in that series.

This game really brings home that Sony's major strengths are as a publisher and platform-provider.  The actual contributions of their internal stable of devs to the character pool are pretty thin.  Does Sony really want to make it so utterly clear that this is just an exercise in branding?  It's like GlaxoSmithKline or HarperCollins making a brawler.  Are there GlaxoSmithKline fanboys?  If so, what will happen if we put them in an arena and get them to fight with Sony Computer Entertainment fanboys?

I don't mind derivative shit, but this looks like derivative shit. the damage mechanic in Smash Bros is what makes the game fun. go play Melee with HP instead of percent-based damage. it's ass.

To get meter you have to be hitting dudes, but with four players you are liable to get buttfucked because someone else is playing like ass. At that point it becomes about who can monopolize wailing on the cripple, I guess. maybe that's fun. kinda doubt it.

Not to say the game doesn't appear to have issues outside of the damage model, but it's by far the most glaring and easiest to fix.

Can anyone post the new leak info? That gaf thread is unreadable. I guess there are 3 Tekken characters now?

Amateur hour continued as the website was updated earlier this week confirming the inclusion of Sackboy and Raiden. The redesigned site was quickly taken down, but not before people took snapshots of the page, revealing Jin, and Kazuya from Tekken as well as Ryu from Ninja Gaiden in the site's background imagery. The community manager from Superbot said right after it that Heihachi is the only Tekken character, so I suspect Jin and Kazuya may be costumes or something.

I dunno why in the world Ryu is there. His latest game is jank, and isn't exactly tied to PlayStation at all. Should've just grabbed a random Dynasty Warriors dude or something IMO. Make him the newbie character and have him able to perform all of his combos and supers by smashing the cross button repeatedly.

I've seen this explained through text, video demos, and I think a podcast and I still find the entire system confounding.  I actually don't understand it.

I disagree that HP makes Smash unfun.  Similar games like Jump Superstars and Power Stone use HP and those are fun.  Or a game like Gundam vs Gundam, which sorta has HP but works it into a deeper idea of lives costing points; in short, the better character you choose, the fewer lives you have.  Power Stone has the regular HP game but you're also chasing after/preventing others from grabbing the gems, since collecting them all is a huge advantage.

What I get from this Sony game is: nothing matters.  The goal is to raise your super bar to do damage and all the normal attacks don't do damage and just raise your super bar and there are three levels of supers and you're fighting to get more kills, except they hide the number because  ??? and well you can do combos because  ???  I don't get it.  It's not fun to watch.  I have no interest in playing it.

They should've just cloned Power Stone. It likely wouldn't have been as commercially viable but at least there would be little shame, and no constant bitching about changing up the formula or something. Though, I guess I can see how that would be difficult to pull off with their merging 2 games into a single stage idea.
Title: Re: PlayStation All-Stars (now legit thanks to Seth Killian)
Post by: brob on August 11, 2012, 09:23:38 AM
They should have had more sub-systems. For instance Fat princess could start out fat and then over time she slims down and loses power, but you can use a special to eat cake and get fatter/more powerful. Sorta like Hakan in street fighter 4 who can oil up to get more range. Sly not being able to block, instead going invisible is a cool character trait, but I hoped there would be more stuff like that.


I disagree that HP makes Smash unfun.  Similar games like Jump Superstars and Power Stone use HP and those are fun. 

I specifically meant smash. Melee has a mode where you can play with 300 HP per character or whatever. it's much less fun.

This game has been delayed until November 20, 2012.

People (rightfully so) mock SCEJ's management skills because their large scale projects take years to get released. Sony Smash Bros. has been in development since 2008. Given the end product looks like a highly derivative game with a lacking roster it certainly makes the time it took Gravity Rush, and Gran Turismo 5 to come out look normal.

some parts of this are straight up smash bros.  the evading and air dodge are 100% the same.  it's close enough that muscle memory kicks in and I realize I'm not grabbing or something.

anyway, didn't find it fun.  seemed decent enough, so it's indifference I guess.  netcode is really good, though.

DLC already announced.

But they're following Namco's lead and keeping it free...for a limited time, anyway.

What? Me again? Wasn’t I just here to let you know thatPlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale had gone gold?

Have you ever wondered what dev teams do after a game goes gold? If all is going well, often times they get down to business with DLC. And in fact that’s exactly what we have begun. I’m here today to announce the first DLC characters that will be joining the All-Stars roster: Kat from Gravity Rush, and Starhawk‘s Emmett Graves!

In addition to the signature weapons you’ll remember from his duels with the Outcasts on Dust, Emmett’s playstyle will also utilize Starhawk’s unique “Build-in-Battle” system, calling down help from the sky.

Kat’s approach turns gravity on its head with some mind-bending new ways to move as she positions herself for her unique brand of aerial assault. Together, they make up one of the most original duos in All-Stars.

These DLC All-Stars still have a long way to go before they’re ready to be shown off, but we wanted to let you know what the team will be working on now that we’ve gone gold with the main game, and that you can look forward to playing them… for free!
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale: Emmett

Yes, you heard that right. We’re very happy to announce these first two DLC characters will be free to everyone for the first two weeks once they are available for download early next year.

That may sound a little tricky, so let me be clear: once Kat and Emmett are finished, we’ll put them up for download. They’ll be totally free for two weeks. The only limit is that you have a two-week window to claim the characters. Once you have Kat and Emmett, they are yours forever. That may sound like a lot to remember, so don’t worry, we’ll be back closer to their release to remind you of all these details.

Everyone at SuperBot, Bluepoint, and Santa Monica Studio has tried hard not only to make a great game, but also to keep the fans very firmly in mind, offering the most we can wherever we get the chance. So far we’ve offered exclusive free pre-order costumes, an amazing digital version for PS Vita at no cost when you buy the PS3 version, frame-accurate cross-play, and now Kat and Emmett coming soon for free!

We’ll have more information about these characters and more DLC news coming soon, so stay tuned here for more announcements, and thanks again to everyone that has supported us as we prepare to cross the finish line. Come join the party on November 20th as PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale launches, and I’ll see you online!

Kat is a good addition (they're putting her in Minna No Gold 6, too), but WTF were they thinking with generic Starhawk guy?

Something tells me I'm gonna end up buying this.  I dunno why.

This game sucked when I played it at NYCC. It's not nearly as responsive or exciting to play as Melee or Brawl. The whole time people who were playing were complaining "why can't I do _____ like I can in Smash?". I have a feeling when it comes out, people who are expecting it to be Smash with Sony characters will pick it up and be VERY disappointed. The Gravity Rush chick is a cool DLC but I have no idea who the black guy is or what the game Starhawk is.

It's not like Smash at all and is more like a real fighting game in some ways.  That may be why I'm somehow more interested in it now.

Starhawk dude is a ... weird entry. That game bombed, the studio who made it got severely downsized, and supposedly Sony revoked their contract with them. Not exactly something I'd expect them to want to celebrate ...

So my 10 year old brother wanted it, so I bought it.

It's pretty damn mediocre so far. The gameplay is nerfed Smash Bros. while being ten times more button mashy, the characters have a lot more special moves than in Smash but I don't see anyway where it can be imployed strategically, and the hit each other and whoever hits you with the special finisher most wins is just stupid.

I really, really don't like it.

My problem is with the roster.  Some of those characters were just poor choices.  And TWO Coles?  REALLY?

I also like that they mention characters like Cole being in a fighting game for the first time...when Cole was in Street Fighter X Tekken.   :lol ::)

Actually the Vita/PS3 SFxTK has Cole, Toro, and Heihachi.

Good luck doing any of that with more than two fighters in a match.

People were able to do so in the beta.  I dunno.  I can't say anything until I play the game for myself.  If it sucks I'll sell off the PS3 version and keep the Vita version downloaded for laughs.

So, Sony Smash Bros.:

The game does not come with a voucher code to download the Vita version.  Instead, when you put the disc in the PS3, three different icons come up- The game, its digital manual, and extras, which takes you to the PSN Store and lets you download the Vita version.  You can't download the game until you redeem the online pass and it ties it to one PS3/Vita, so in other words, no game-sharing is going to happen from this.

Played the game on Vita first, going through Nariko's tutorials and did the arcade/story mode.  The game play is still simplistic like other party fighters, but does offer combos and juggles like a "normal" fighting game.

Got online on PS3 in a ranked match against three Raidens at levels 68-75.  Destroyed them with a three-hit kill level one super shot...TWICE.  :rofl

All-Stars is a fun game once you find a character you like and get the game play down.  I'd definitely recommend doing the tutorials to get your character's unique abilities and combos down before jumping online.

Definitely still think the game lacks style compared to Smash, but it's still pretty good.  I think I prefer the control scheme on the Vita version over the PS3 version.

It's hard to tell if the PS3 version looks any better than the Vita version.  Both games pretty much look the same from what I can tell.  It's not the most visually-impressive title out there, but the game stays locked at 60 FPS and the netcode is great.

It would be cool if this game was successful and Sony let the company make a new IP fighter after, headed up by Seth Killian.

It's fun and really does have a different feel from Smash, but Smash is better.  Not a bad first entry but it needs a lot of work.

It also can really stink when you're playing a match without a time limit and it gets down to two people, who then can't kill each other since it starts to take forever to build up meter and it gets easy to dodge each others' moves.  I had to quit out of one of these matches as a spectator (five+ minutes of this was enough) and it felt like hours passed when I was the surviving player in another.  Doesn't happen in ranked though.

Sony Cuts Ties With PlayStation All-Stars Creators, Studio’s Fate In Question

Sony has cut ties with PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale creator SuperBot Entertainment, just days after the development studio laid off a number of its staff.

All of the game's future content will be handled by Sony's internal studios.

"Sony Computer Entertainment can confirm that the working agreement with developer SuperBot Entertainment has amicably ended," a Sony representative told Kotaku. "We have had a positive working relationship with this talented studio, and wish them the best of success in their next endeavor. PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale and the title's forthcoming DLC releases will continue to be fully supported by Santa Monica Studio."

SuperBot, an independent developer started in 2009, released PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale for Vita and PlayStation 3 last fall. Two weeks ago, the company laid off a significant number of staff.

We've heard from one source that as a result of Sony's decision, SuperBot will have to shut down. We've reached out to the studio for comment and will update should we hear back.

800+ MB patch is up.

Kat and Starhawk guy are now up as free downloads for the next two weeks.  There's also a new stage that's a fusion of Heavenly Sword and Wipeout, which they priced at $1.99...although it apparently comes up for free when you play online, so  ???
