EDIT: Wow I read some of the comments on IGN about the Sony being a complete bunch of ripp offs etc and so-on - American gamers are going crazy (in a bad way) with this!

They forget that this was one of the most requested genre's from the Playstation community and PSblog and sony made it because of that... Anyway - the Journalist that played it seem to really like it!

Exactly... lots of Sony fans basically wanted something like this to happen. All the journalists are liking it so far too which is positive.

Visually looks like crap to me o.O most possibly just the tiny pictures though and will probably look alright on screen.

Don't know why people are raging, not like this is the first ever smash bro's clone lol. This will just be a fun party game, not expecting anything incredible or complex just be one of those ones where all your mates grab a controller and you all just go nuts.

As with most games i think once people pull their heads out their [censored], it will do alright.

I think its not top tier looking, but t is running at a smooth and solid 60fps. As far as I am concerned, for something that is meant to give off an arcade look I would rather have it running at solid 60fps over top tier graphics. Besides ,it is the studios first game... they are not gonna pull off GoW3 or Uncharted 3 esque visuals right away.

ANd I totally agree with you... people seem to forget Capcom doing this sort of game twice... Konami did this game too (in fact SOlid Snake appeared in teh Konmami one before appearing in Smash).

As long as teh game is fun, that is what ultimately matters at the end of the day.

i'm sorry guys... but it looks like a COMPLETE rip-off of Super Smash Bros. From the UI, right down to fat princess' moves that are similar to princess peach

but it still looks interesting, and a great character lineup, might get it

I wonder how Sakurai will respond

Except that almost every journalist has stated that it actually does not play quite the same way, so no not really.

IF Sakurai does not say anything other then being flattered then he is a jerk plain and simple. As Woofels has stated, this is not the first Smash clone to be made, and besides, its not like Nintendo has a patent on this sort of game.

New studio, been working on the game for like 2 and a half years. Expecting a PSV version is expecting a bit much from them, but I agree that a PSV version would be cool... its just not feasible in reality.

If the game has Vibri... it will be a definite buy for me!

But have you seen the video?

I'm not saying Sakurai should have a negative response, just wanted to see if he would be flattered.

don't worry, i'm not a blind fanboy who shuns everything that seems familiar to my territory.
I'm actually liking what Sony is doing with this game, that's all.

Watched all the vids already . it looks fun. Sure it Smash styled but that does not make it exactly the same. FOr instance, Smash Brawl has that stupid tripping feature... not here. And this game works on building up your supers to land KO's. The more KOs you get the better your chance of winning.

2 IP's for the level... little things. Besides, the devs themselves actually consist of fighting devs (UFC, WWE, Gears, MortL Kombat) and some of the staff are in the fighting competitive scene.

They based the game design on Smash, sure, but they clearly love what they are doing and added their own little tweaks. Sure some of the stuff seems very close and I wont deny that.


and yeah... Vib Ribbon... LOL would be cool, but I see that more as a background level with echochrome.. that would be trippy @_@

Game looks crap, apparently it is “Accessible Yet Deep” lol and Features Robust Tournament Mode.

Don`t worry. No one will care if you are not going to buy it.

Though I do hope they include an HP bar mode... that would be nice. I can see why some people are a little apprehensive about the KO system even though is technically is not that different.

lol looks like someones fanboy itch is getting salty

When it comes to the gameplay, there’s support for up to four players simultaneously and you can play cooperatively in addition to having free for all competition. Kendall goes on to explain how the game will feature “cool game modes” with both single player and multiplayer in mind. The focus is on online play though, which apparently includes a robust tournament mode.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale releases this holiday season for the PS3. More details on the game will be announced at E3

“cool game modes” lol

More like I am just stating an obvious fact. Don't need to bend it any other way there DP.

If you don't like what you see from the reveal there is no reason to come to this thread and throw in snide remarks every chance you have.


The dev is excited (why wouldn't they be). it is pretty sad when you are trying to make fun of someone's else excitement.

I do wonder what modes are being included besides the obvious vs (DM/ TDM) and story modes. As I have mentioned, a mode that allows you to fight with health bars would be interesting. Maybe they will try a king of the hill or CTF variants. Could be interesting for KotH since you may be forced to get out of the area due to environmental damage that could take place.

So far all that is confirmed is a time attack mode where you do not know how many KO's you get until the end, and then a last man standing mode.

@Sinn

I'v seen you and the rest of us do the same things a 100 times before where we will come comment that they look like crap, stop being Hypocrite. Lets face as i said it's pretty much a straight out clone.

Yes it's not the first but in all honesty sony could of used some originality with this and the line:

"deep yet accessible" my ass, iv only been playing fighters for around 2 - 3 years now and[censored] even i can call it from those video's the deepest thing in that game will probably be Sony's pockets for the price tag.

Cool game modes are cool game modes so in all honesty not so sure what DP found funny there.

Again though end of the day the game is not meant to be Street Fighter or something like it. It's meant to be a party game, sit down with a bunch of friends even if they haven't played the game and away you go and have fun.

Sony how ever i think really [censored] the pooch on this with making it look so much like Smash Bro's, even down to the visual style.

I, at least for the most part, explain why.

The cool game modes is part of what I am saying... he is just having a laugh at the dev as if to say 'yeah whatever'.

No one is going to deny the similarities, but at the end of the day, many fans have been asking for a smash Bros type game with PS. We can call out Sony on this if we want, but delivering what fans have asked for is all that they are doing.

Besides, as mentioned, there are tons of games like this. All one needs is some gaming knowledge to know this... in fact, Smash Bros was not even the first game to be an open arena fighter in a 2D plane...

As long as Superbot makes a fun game and do not copt every mechanic (both points appear to be true according to journalists) then that is what counts at the end of the day.

I have no issue with Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft or publishers - borrowing ideas on genre's or gameplay mechanics - They all do from each other, every industry does - They must just improve where they can and give it some form of unique identity/personality so its not blatantly the same.

One of my Favorite games of this gen was actually Darksiders which wasnt contructed out of a single original idea - but instead took the best aspects of the genre's top games and made it a great game in itself - with a very unique visual style!

But as with all games / genre's that you are not interested in, just move on and talk about the next game that you actually are interested in. Activison had one of their reps on the PSblog the other day in regards to everyone slating MW3 - basically he stated, if MW3 is not you kind of game or you are carrying a flag for another FPS - go spend your time playing that instead of wasting gaming hours slating something you have no interest/ or have played in in the first place...

This is exactly how I feel about the Net and the general negativity people (especially the American gaming sites/blogs) have towards everything. people should rather spend their time focusing on what they like instead of being negative all the time - the net and the industry would be a much happier place! move on and enjoy something you like instead !bm

Im not sure I will buy this game, but for it to get so much negative attention before its even out the gates and its only fault is that it is what people asked for is a bit unfair

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royal developer Superbot Entertainment has added another member of the fighting game community to their ranks in the form of Daniel “Clockw0rk” Maniago.

Lol Clockw0rd joined this, the game might actually get some depth now.

So Superbot, a developer comprised of fighter experience, want to ensure their game is competitive.

Sounds good to me.

OK.
I'll be honest.

if done right, Sony will have something that could possibly KICK the super smash brother's @$$!

...
If they mess it up ...
Fans WILL be disappointing & it will take a lot of TLC to get the fans to even THINK about buying NO.2

So far, I'm interested ...
I mean, their giving Lair some recognition as well as some of the other un sung playstation Heroes.
So good on them, and hey yea, I wanna try it out!

THAT being said ...

About all the cloning comments and so on ...

I can understand why DP has such a passion for fighting games, out of all the games out there, fighting games are perhaps the ones that have stayed most true to their fans and kept offering the fans what they like and enjoy while offering a challenge.

That being said ...

I'm not sure its fair to knock this game for being a clone.
I would actually HONESTLY be concerned if it was not a clone.

I'm not trying to insult anybody here, but I think this is the best way to "release an idea like this"...
And if any of us have a better idea, then you should probably make contact with sony ASAP cuz I think there are some CEOs there that would love to line your palm with silver and gold.

Honestly its a safe bet.
Its a cash in, I don't think sony would even care to hide the fact that they are trying to get a slice of the action.

And I've played games like this.
And from what I've tried, its a GOOD idea to stick to what you know.

Other wise the game sucks and then getting people interested in a sequel will be close to impossible, no matter how good it may be.

That being said, even from a business stand point.
THIS is a way better idea than trying to make a "wii sports" clone or what ever
And much better than trying to makes something of the same kind from the ground up.
If I was a CEO at sony I would go with this too.

Cuz this is giving the idea the BEST means by which to succeed and if it fails like this ... then it simply fails.
End of story.
Wring its neck and move on to the next idea.

If it succeeds, polish it & try again.

just IMO

Seems like the development team for the game has included the likes of Maj and Ed Ma for over 8 months already.

Sony registered a new domain. Looks like this is coming out for Vita too

Good move on Sony's part. While I believe that games need to be exclusive to both, considering this game is a collection of Sony history, it should be on both.

Though I am getting the PS3 version. I do not see the PSV version selling that well. Hopefully they give that version side a lengthy sidescrolling platforming mode or something.

dem BIG DADDY and Drake are in @_@
