Rumor: Leaked stages/characters from Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale [Updated]

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Same here :/

I love the inFamous games but Evil Cole should have been an alternate skin instead of a full-fledged character. Not sure what to think about the choice of Raiden over Old Snake. Nariko's inclusion means that we won't be seeing Kat as a playable character (Lightning is in for sure). No Dart and Cloud, which is expected because of Lightning, but oh well...i'm still excited to play the actual game.

edit: Welp, there's always DLCs to look forward to
 
So yeah, that Kat is from DmC, not Gravity Rush: http://devilmaycry.wikia.com/wiki/Kat

Sorry, guys.

Kiya goes with Sir Dan, so that leaves Pierre and Sam to be associated with either Raiden or Toro.

Sigh... thanks for sleuthing and making sure we don't get our hopes too high. Princess Kiya with Sir Dan is cool, though.
 
So the minions will be sidekicks in the single player mode? I get that. But who are Pierre and Sam? They don't mean Sam fisher do they?

To be fair, the only real problems with the leaked roster is having Evil Cole instead of another character and Raiden instead of Snake. Dante, though the new emo Dante, is a natural choice, but hopefully Heihachi and Dante have classic alt costumes. Ratchet, Sackboy, Nariko, Spike, and Sir Daniel are very good choices for popular Sony-owned characters as well.

The only real absentees here other than Snake would be Cloud, Lara Croft, Crash, and Spyro, and that'd be more Square Enix and Activision not wanting to play ball and possible exclusivity deals with Nintendo and Smash. I suppose a Resident Evil character could also fit, but Resident Evil is much less associated with the PlayStation brand as a whole considering the massive support Capcom gave GameCube with it.

Whoever they are, one of them is associated with Raiden and the other with Toro. I'm not familiar with Metal Gear Rising, so if anyone knows a character by those two names in there, let us know (since MGR is unreleased, said character may not be revealed yet). And I don't know anything about Toro's supporting cast either, though I would have expected him to be with Kuro.

Toro is paired with Kuro in his rivalry matchup against Heihachi. Maybe that whole list is fake.

Wow, so I'm looking through the files as well...there are a LOT of game modes. Granted, some of them will be mini things, but there's some weird stuff as well. Only_Square, Survive_Supers, Invisibility, Must_Use_Gravity, Only_Ape_Attacks, etc. There is gonna be a ton of content. Also, all of those characters mentioned before seem to be confirmed. Looking at it right now.

I'm happy with this roster, I think. I mean, I would love if Lightning were in the game. A lot. But this is not a bad roster at all.

Man, I knew the moment I hit Search that Princess Kiya was that right balance of "obscure" and "remembered fondly by nerds" to have porn on the first page of image results...

Interesting that every character seems to have their own sidekick, though. Wonder how it's relevant to the single-player mode (if it's relevant at all, and not just a coincidence in their movesets).
 
Thing is Evil Cole will play very differently from Good Cole. Really expecting him to have hellfire rockets, nightmare blast and ionic drain as his supers. Ionic Drain will probably be a nearby heal as damage move scenario.

Arcade stuff I guess.
 
I'm surprised this stuff was left in the beta for it to be extracted. Kind a dumb of Sony/SuperBot to do this.

I want more characters. Actually I just want Snake. Hopefully they didn't leave him off the roster.

And honestly that is why people are disappointed. Really if they need to spend that much time to make such him a different character they should have just made a different damn character. I mean hell, at least Scully would have been new and appeased the Scully fans. Who the hell is a fan of specifically evil cole that would not have been satisfied at all with either good or neutral cole.

lol so what the hell? did he lie via twitter? maybe snake is an unlockable (if they even exist)?

so many questions...

Raiden story mode, MGS stage invasion, Raiden Super. It could easily be any of those things.
 
WTF DmC Dante???

I Will not support this game, simple as that. I've got a soft spot for some sony characters, Ninja theory Dante, alt character or not (missed opportunity to have young old dante= fail) tells me this game is more about AD SPACE than it is about celebrating Sonys legacy. bump that.
 
urgh. I was never that interested in this game but DINO just confirms I won't be buying it.


likewise much as I'm loving the look of MSR so far, it makes no sense to have raiden in over snake.

Lost all credibility.

I'm just assuming he shows up in a cutscene, codec convo, or one of Raiden's supers.

Everyone upset at Evil Cole must be living in a world where every single fighting game ever doesn't have repeat characters. Take a look at P4A which is out soon. Only 13 characters and one is a Shadow version of an existing character. Smash is filthy with them. 20+ characters and only 1 is a repeat is honestly ahead of the competition in the majority of cases. Keep going on about how Evil Cole is robbing you of your favorite character, but you'll be ignoring the bigger picture.

Snake not being in this is a surprise. Could it be an old build, with possibly more characters to be added?
 
This is about all that's left. Maybe lists a few modes, but otherwise not a lot -
http://pastie.org/4352123

That sounds amazing! VIP mode (kill the VIP), lots of options for customization! (Survive Supers, which I assume means blockable supers), taunt for AP, disable moves, control AP lost on hit, u can have rivals, change gravity, team elimination (stock?), CTF!, protect little sister?? team bodyguard (Team VIP), KOTH,

It's amazing how much work they are putting into making this fun! Team Bodyguard and Team Elimination sound so fun!

It's a shame that the biggest disappointment comes from Activision and SE being too stubborn to allow them characters

I'm pleased with Evil Cole, so don't worry about me. :p

People get this upset over designs? Really?

What if we did get Crash and it was Tattoo Crash? Would you all be upset, too?

I mean I don't like Capcom at all recently, but Dante won't ruin my purchase of this game.

My problem with Evil Cole is that, well... he's literally Cole. Link and Young/Toon Link are the same guy with the same moveset, but they feel like different roster figures. Good and Evil Cole are the opposite - and that's exacerbated by the fact that no other game has two representatives, PERIOD, nevermind two versions of the same character.

Cole isn't an important or interesting enough character to warrant two playable slots; I'd prefer if they'd folded him into the other Cole, even if it means one less playable character.

GUYS WAAAAAAIT

Okay so

There's a "game mode" that is MUST HAVE ZURKON

Ahhh I love Mr. Zurkon from Ratchet and Clank! Each of the game mode looks like a handicap for each character. Must Have Barrel, Must Have Zurkon, Must Use Plasmid, Must Use Gravity, Must Sword Grab, Must Switch Stances, Must Use Tesla, Only Ape Attacks, etc.

Also..Spike can teleport? So can Sackboy? Maybe they're just weird names.

I think I'm totally okay with this.

EDIT: Also, guys, I'm sure Evil Cole and Good Cole will be totally different. Just WAIT FOR THE REVEAL I say as I am snooping around the files...

Here is Toro with Kuro. So unless people have multiple minions I'm thinking that its fake

Kuma is in the list and didn't appear with heihachi in the story mode.

Sackboy teleport probably means that pod where he teleports when he dies.
