PlayStation All-Stars (now legit thanks to 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.

Called it before the game was even officially unveiled.

[Huff]

make a bad game as an "independent studio" and your going to get cut. hard knock life

[Joe Molotov]

That's what they get for not supporting the Wii.

Called it before the game was even officially unveiled.

Basically, yeah.

It's kinda surprising they're doing this before the "free for two weeks" DLC hits. Sony of America is cold-blooded.

seth killian works at santa monica, so that's a small consolation

Called it before the game was even officially unveiled.

yea from the info that trickled out from being a smash like game gave me no confidence and got worse as more info was revealed and its roots being clearly apparent (that pic of the studio with a Wii on the table was  ).


Hell i got the game for free pretty much and i have no interest in checking it out.

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
