In this podcast Omar says: (@9:20) “There are a couple of characters who, we didn’t realize are as popular as they are.” which I thought might be reference to Kat. But he also says that the Vita will be represented in PSASBR(@7:10) (can’t think of any character stronger than Kat – accept MAYBE Aveline). He also has said that he’s enjoying Gravity Rush, and says it’s an awesome game(@15:25). And now this blurry image is starting to look like Kat. Make of it what you will – but I’m buffering potential disappointment by treating this as wishful thinking.



Some also think it's Spyro.

Anyone could draw anything there... it most definitely does not look like Spyro... Kat is possible but this is a few weeks ago and no one is talking about it any more unfortunately.

I hope its Kat but unless SCEJ requested her from the beginning I doubt anyone in the team was even thinking of putting her in. It might be too late. DLC indeed.

Also, DP, the analysis you provided: what are your thoughts on it?

Beta for the game is available in HK and Singapore.

Like all betas, this is a test for servers capacity and match making functionality.

Depends, for a 1 on 1 fighter it sounds ok, however for a free for all with 4 players it doesn't really make much sense. Being able to cancel attacks and chain others is cool however I'm not sure how this works then there are 2 other people who can interrupt your strings, wallbounces etc.

Will have to see how it evolves, however with a system like this I would find it weird if they did any tournaments with 4 players instead of 2, as the system seems to be catered to 2 players not 4.

Some rumours going around that these characters are currently in the roster:

Raiden (Metal Gear Solid), Dante (Ninja Theory DmC), Ratchet (Ratchet & Clank), Sackboy (Little Big Planet), Spike (Ape Escape), Sir Daniel Fortesque (MediEvil), Nariko (Heavenly Sword) and possibly Evil Cole (Infamous).

With the beta of Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale recently released on Playstations 3, players have began discovering unannounced details by checking out the data files. Examiner has posted a list of Minions, items and game modes that are said to be in the game.

• Pierre (Doko Demo Issho)
• PJ Berri (Parappa the Rapper)

If they put in Spyro the Dragon, Sir Daniel Fortesque and Crash Then I will buy the game, really like the level art though pretty cool.

The DmC devil may cry characters would be cool as well, there would then be a couple of characters I would enjoy playing with.

Cool, thanks.

It does sound from the devs themselves that they really also wanted a focus on 1v1 so sounds like that aspect will be good.

Other rumours point towards Musashi and Lightning being in teh game.

I do find it strange that Raiden is there and not Snake (in fact Snake is nowhere to be found in the leaked files) who was confirmed to be doing VA work for the game.

Would be great if bot hare there.

Game is too much of a sausage fest, seriously it needs more female representatives, there are so many that could be catered to this type of game style. It's a shame they getting the shun.

Musashi as in Brave Fencer/ Samuari legend Musashi?




If so I will piss myself with excitement i love those games.

Agreed!
Wheres Heavenly Swords Nariko

kat from gravity daze would work too I think (nevermind, saw now she was mentioned already)

Because most of the Sony female characters are incredibly low profile. Not saying they should not be there because I support quite a few female characters for the game. That said, there are 2 more in the game, and Nariko appears to be one of them. So one more.

Hopefully the first because the 2nd Musashi is one of the most incredibly stupid character designs. Original Musashi looks epicly cool.

Which do you prefer yourself?

Wheres Heavenly Swords Nariko

Probably in the game but perhaps the most bland female character Sony can add tbqh.

Jen (Primal)
Jeanne (Jeanne d Arc)
Kisala (Rogue Galaxy)
Ellen (Folklore)
Kat (Gravity Daze)

are all infinitely more interesting looking imho. But I aint gonna complain about Nariko... she will possibly be a stance changer which is good.

Totally agreed. She is probably DLC at this point however.

@Sinncross

I am happy with either version, only thing i design wise I don't like about the second version of Musashi is his little tank top thing, had that been a full shirt probably would of been a good design.

But yea think the brave fencer look would probably suit this better, either way freaking cool character to have damn. Did not think enough people liked these games to have them considered.

Some Legend of Dragoon characters would be nice as well, Either Dart or Rose

@Woofels

On forums, I have never seen anyone ever mention Musashi tbqh. I think he and the game just slipped under everyone's radars. I am not entirely sure why they went with him though since Dart or Rose (good characters actually) seem to have a more vocal voice.

of course, Musashi is not entirely confirmed yet but I support.

i just think they need some basic characters to truly push this game to in fan zone. Spyro and Crash are hard to get... hopefully Square does not skimp on Cloud and for goodness sake SEGA, push for Kazuma to be in this game.

yea I suppose with all the new licensing and stuff Spyro and Crash would be hard which is a real pity :'(

Only occured to me last night as well that one of my favorite series of all time could pass for this is Disgaea, i know there have been a few ds ports but really the series is playstation driven.

Also Gex man, where the hell is gex!!!

Damn think too much about this and there are too many characters I want in this game, problem is they are all old =/

A bunch of characters have been leaked (via official images it seems)
Sackboy
Nariko
Jin
Kazuya (these 2 could just be alt costumes)
Raiden
Ryu Hayabusa
Ratchet

But until they are officially confirmed take this as you will. It has been noted that there are some inconsistencies with the images.

Clockwerk confirmed that Heihachi and Kuma are the only 2 Tekken characters so some of those images (at least the bottom left one) may not be entirely accurate.
Makes sense since that image is comprised of always existing art work when the deva have been making new,ones for the game.
