First PlayStation All-Stars DLC: Kat and Emmett Join the Battle Royale

Seth Killian, lead game designer at Sony's Santa Monica Studio, announced today that Kat from Gravity Rush and Emmett Graves from Starhawk will be added to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale as free DLC.

There's a two week window where both fighters will be available for free, after release. After that time, it's unclear how Kat and Emmett will be made available for download, and if there will be any resulting fees to pay to use them.

Killian noted that these are, "the first DLC characters" implying there will be additional fighters added to the game.

Emmett's playstyle will include his signature weapons, but he'll also be able to utilize Starhawk’s unique "Build-in-Battle" system, calling down help from the sky. Kat uses gravity to position herself for unique aerial attacks. Check out the character's artwork below.

thats dope same route as tekken. Guys shouldnt worry about buyin this new for the joy of FREE DLC CHARACTERS and Gravity rush as a first? Dope.

KAT! I knew she'd make it!
It's strange that you can only grab these characters for free within the first 2 weeks of their release. Not that it matters to me, as I will be getting them on the first day that they're available.
I'm sure we will get DLC characters that we'd need to pay for from the start too (mainly from 3rd party devs).

• Four different difficulty settings: Easy, Hero, Legend, and All-Star.

• 10 general trials and each characters has 23 individual trials. A total of 470 trials in the game.

• 105 unlockable profile card backgrounds. Each character has 5 that they can unlock.
- Each one is unlocked when players reach ranks 16,19, 25, and 300.

• 333 unlockable icons with each character having 16.
- They are unlocked at ranks 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 24, 50 and 200 and are mainly character poses and scenes from their games.

• 624 FFA titles to unlock; these are names that appear on profile cards and are unlocked by gaining different colored belts in FFA tournaments.

• 533 Team titles to unlock as well and they are obtained in 2v2 tournament play.

• Players can unlock 20 minions when reaching rank 8 with a character.

• Players will have other goals including 9 session goals that are implemented daily for match-made online game.

• 35 career goals for the entire game as well as 78 tournament goals for tournament mode.

• Players will also have 80 Goals for Ranked match sessions, 127 Arcade Mode Goals, 84 Combat trial goals, and 19 Versus mode goals.
-Completing some goals ties into some of the other ranks and unlockables but has nothing to do with unlocking characters or stages.

• You unlock minions on Level 8 and costumes on Level 10.

• One playthrough of the character’s arcade mode is enough to get to level 10.

• There are 6 difficulty settings for CPUs.

• Minions exist to cheer you on, ex: when you kill everyone with a Super they appear with fireworks.

• Rivalry cutscenes are CGI but opening cutscenes are hand-drawn images.

Cool thanks for that list DP.

In other news, if you have pre-ordered off PSN the game is already up for download and you can play it. CAnt wait to finish to get home and download and try it out!

PSN download size 5982 MB, Vita download size 1,642 MB

Decent reviews so far.

Edit: It's fixed now. But here's a screenshot of what I saw (and clicked on) in the store. My download is still going though (currently 595MB of 1622MB).


Original:

anyone here notice that the ps store on vita has this game marked at full price and as "free"? i'd usually brush it off as a demo, but it says "full game". currently downloading it to see if we got lucky, or i'm just a sucker

So I played this more last night... man wow...

its incredible how much fun this game actually is. Cant wait to get to the nuances of some characters... the practice and tutorial modes are very indepth. THey will be good to check out because some players atm are seriously good.

Turns out that yesterday’s download was indeed a trail. Now, "To go digital or wait for retail?" That is the question. With all of the positive hype surrounding this game right now, I might just cave :/

just cave lol

i went digital and i honestly think im gonna get all my games like this now lol but you may no longer have the pre-order bonus from digital though

Caved. Bought. Ready to battle (once I get home).

Just gonna leave this here

I downloaded the trial... When i start it up, it says i have the trial version and mist buy the full game. Screw that. I had to wait 6 hours for the damn thing to download. Was looking foward to playing it
