I'd kind of like GT featured more...
Hah, what FG is that from? I've been thinking of having Hornet in a 2D fighter for some time.

Also, I wasn't trying to incite some pissing match, just making the claim that Sony has some core franchises that can stand on similar ground to the likes of Zelda w/r/t appeal and popularity.

Twice. Twilight Princess is around 8m total too.So, at one time Zelda was 8 million units popular, and now it is 3.42 million units popular. Again, times change.
Crash Bandicoot at one time sold like 7 million units, but alas those days are long gone. The strength of a brand is only as good as its most current entry, not to say Zelda can't recover to what it once was.

Besides Gran Turismo, they have no franchises that are anywhere near in terms of popularity. And I'm saying this as a Sony fan that doesn't even like Zelda.
I don't think anyone has the kid of roster of characters Nintendo has.
I'd go with PlayStation Crossover Chaos
Just so it could be spelled like this
Skyward Sword was 3.42m in 2011, not to date. SS was also a Motion Plus only game.Again, I'm not sure what you're basing this on given that sales data for the most current games seemingly proves otherwise.
Uncharted 2 sold close to 5 million units, and Uncharted 3 is probably close to selling a similar amount in a shorter time frame. Skyward Sword has shipped something like 3.42 million world wide to date, which is less than Uncharted 3's 3.8 million day one shipment figures.

Won't it cost a pretty penny to have many third party characters? Think they are going to have Leon, Chris or Megaman from Capcom or Sonic from Sega?
Whoever is responsible for naming the product just slapped himself. And now for legal reasons this name will not be used.I'd go with PlayStation Crossover Chaos

I seriously don't give a crap about half the guys in Smash Bros. But they make excellent characters.
Gran Turismo is their best selling IP, and by December last year GT5 had sold about 7.4 million copies according to Wikipedia. Going by Wikipedia again, Skyward Sword sold 3.42 million copies within one month of its release (December last year), and Nintendo games have long legs, so it should handily outsell UC2 and 3 within this year. By March last year Twilight Princess had sold 5.82 million copies on the Wii, and about 1.32 on GCN. I can't find any more recent sales numbers, but I'd be very surprised if TP hadn't outsold GT5 by now.
Yeah, WTF? He has to be joking......
I think I'll just go to bed.
UC 3 does seems to have long legs as well, just saying =).
It is selling well in europe and did top a few charts even after months of releasing.
Well, my point is that ugly, generic, boring designs like the Chimera aliens do neither: they're not recognizable and they don't make good characters on their own.
I'm totally fine with using characters whose abilities make them fit well (Cole) or cool but obscure characters (Jennifer Tate, Sir Daniel Fortesque -- to pick just Cambridge characters for the moment) if they otherwise gel with the concept.
Sure, but I honestly don't think UC3 will top Skyward Sword in sales when all is said and done. UC is a 5 year old franchise with a fanbase consisting mainly of PS3 owners, while Zelda is a 26 year old franchise that has spanned every Nintendo home console and handheld to date (plus those shitty CD-i games), with a fanbase that is most likely a fair bit larger than the UC fanbase due to the legacy of the Zelda franchise.
chimera aliens are considered ugly, genric (everything is these day), boring,bad designs?
Yes? Fang aliens with four eyes. There is literally nothing distinctive or notable about them whatsoever.
Holy crap I hope so.Will Nariko be included?
So it going to be a four player Smash clone or will they try something new I dont think i will care for two player only this type you need four, but then it just be a smash bros clone
then 99% of all the characters ever created are bland.
99% of characters ARE bland, yes. The generic aliens of the PS3's least successful first-party character shooter franchise certainly do not clear the bar.

If Sony puts in even half the care and effort into this that Nintendo did for the Smash Bros series then this will be a great game.
ehh, the first and Melee are great. But Brawl is half-assed. Just like Mkart wii. gonna need Sony to see them put in their full effort.
I'm sorry man but you're basing this simply on your feeling alone and you're not looking at the facts. SS did good numbers only in America. It dropped off very quickly in Japan and quick enough in Europe. Now compare this to U3 which is still selling incredibly well in Europe (in fact it topped the chart in Germany quite recently). U3 seems to be having much better legs than SS. U3 shipped 3.8 million copies on day one, launching between B3 and MW3 and still stood its ground. SS has not been able to do so, while launching close to Black Friday.
And this is down to the way Sony handled U3. For the first time ever, they actually made a campaign for their game, got people talking about it and now is applying smart price cuts here and there to keep it in the charts while still making a hefty profit on it. If Sony learns to do the same for other games that they have, then they can finally nurture great franchises.
I hope they put the Chimera in the game. Along with the Hellghast. This Game is all about their franchise characters and non popular characters punching one another.
Fan service.
FOM is one of the best fps's I'v played period. Still one of my and many others favorites to date.
A Alien with a crazy wardrobe of weapons only rivaled by Ratchets isn't going to hurt a thing.
FOM helped define the ps3 when it Launched. Millions of people know what a Chimera is, and majority of those people think that they are cool.
ehh, the first and Melee are great. But Brawl is half-assed. Just like Mkart wii.

Playstation Battle Opera sounds much better.
Sony doesn't have nearly as iconic characters as Nintendo, but then again no one does, so they should just use what they have, and if they can get some third party characters from franchises that are mostly associated with the Playstation brand (e.g Tekken, FF, Metal Gear) they could make this work I think.

So you think that one single game potentially selling a little less makes a franchise as old as Zelda less popular than Uncharted, really? Link, Mario and co. have been around for 25 years and in dozens of games on every Nintendo console ever made, that alone and their distinct designs make them much more popular and recognizable than Nathan Drake, who has only been on one console and looks like a generic video game hero.
Look at all the Zelda centric fansites, forums and fan art on the net, then do the same for Uncharted and tell me with a straight face that Nathan Drake is more popular than Link.
Right now he certainly is. Why? Because more people bought a game featuring him as the protagonist as opposed to those who bought SS with Link as the protagonist. This is despite the fact that PS3 has smaller install base than Wii or that Zelda fans didn't receive any mainline Zelda game since Twilight Princess years ago, while Sony released Uncharted games every 2 years this gen.
EDIT: Re Nathan Drake being your generic hero...it's actually quite the opposite in the current gen and that's what's making him more relateable and likeable than most of today's video game heroes.
Also Link's elf with yellow hair and dressed in green isn't exactly the most inspiring design ever.
This is bloody brilliant.I'd go with PlayStation Crossover Chaos
