I approve, I love her character design, plus she would be a very interesting playstyle. Valkyria Chronicles is a big fav., it needs more recognition.

Wait for the sequel, they're going with one character per IP I reckon.

I've never seen so much whining about something so inconsequential.

You are new here?
It's not necessarily one that helped build the PS brand in the PS1/2 days so to speak, and doesn't makes you think of just the Playstation. I think that's the issue with his pick. Some characters feel like PS-centric characters. This one's equal PS/Xbox. Hopefully this means they'll get one from Capcom, Konami, Namco, etc now to cover all 3rd parties. It'll be really disappointing if not now.
People are debating whether Bioshock has any relevance on a PS exclusive game. It isn't like Bioshock 2 PS3 sold that well.

Neither a big name nor an exclusive name.
You think of Nintendo when you think of Snake and Sonic?
He's arguably the biggest PlayStation mascot around.

If they went with 'one third party character for each generation' route, they dun goofed.
2 third party characters, dun goofed.
3 third party characters, that's acceptable even though Big Daddy looks awesome, it doesn't represent the PS family.
If they went the "lets add third party characters that companies are willing to cede for cheap yet are somewhat recognizable or would look nice", I think they've done a good deal, but I'd need a royalties chart to further analyze this pick.

What original third party characters would work for this generation then? (Honest question) I'm having a hard time thinking of people who'd really work in a brawler like this, which is another reason I think Big Daddy is a great choice: he just seems to fit the whole "mascot fighter" motif.
Big Daddy, Altair, Isaac, John Marston, Sheppard, and Faith are the first that come to mind. Most other big names had games on PSone and PS2 as well.

I'm pretty sure we all expected Nathan Drake, but Big Daddy is a pretty cool surprise.
It's not that Big Daddy neccessarily is a bad pick for this kind of game, it's that Bioshock 1 was such a botched release on PS3. It had lower resolution textures than the 360 version but ran worse, ran at a sub-HD resolution internally but insisted on scaling up to 1080p in a way no other PS3 at the time did, etc. Was the second one notably better?
Lili (Tekken), Lara and Lightning. Calling it.

Haters gonna hate.
Hopefully Kazuma is one the next 3rd party characters. I'd love to use him to do heat attacks or use enviroment to smash opponents.

Pretty meh on Big Daddy. Would rather have Alucard, Cloud and Lara.

I think its going to be bizarre and awkward if they add fighter characters from other fighting games....
Yeah, I kinda don't want to see that many fighting game characters here. Especially not ones who get plenty of action like Ryu. I'd rather see more non-fighting game characters.

Agreed.
Its a celebration of Playstation's gaming history and not about stuffing any character into rooster that you can think of.
If anyone from Tekken is getting in the game, it's definitely going to be Lili. She is the most popular character in the franchise as of now and the staff loves to whore her out to as many games as they can.
How is Tekken not closely related to "Playstation's gaming history"?

I would have never expected Big Daddy and I could think of so many other characters that I'd rather have in the game, but let's have faith in Superbot. If his gameplay is unique among the cast, then it won't be a wasted slot, regardless of his weak ties to the PlayStation brand.
