Judging by the files in the beta, it's probably derived from the E3 demo version. A lot of files for Drake and Big Daddy are there (icons, movelist, etc.), but the main character files have been yanked.

[RedBoot]

It's still really weird that Paul Gale knows about characters that are not in that list and he doesn't have the most recent info. I don't think he is lying.

Oh, Paul Gale would never lie.

I can't wait to play that TMNT game by Rocksteady.

[ZacharyDCCLXXVII]

If the file list is real, it'd be weird for it to be incomplete.

I was talking about the character's icons located on the first page. I should have specified, sorry.

Sorry but what do you mean by yanked? They truly seem legit them? Should I add them in the OP as un update?

[Napalm_Frank]

Then I don't know why they are making this game because it's starting to have less and less to do with Playstation specifically.

Cause the game is great and thats enough reason for it to exist. For Cloud and Crash it's really not up to Sony. And I think the game has plenty of retro playstation goodness if the list is true. Daniel, Spike, Parappa ect don't have PS3 games and then there are the ones that do have but still are PSX era characters like Sweet Tooth, Toro, Heihachi.

[k_Reign]

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!

the image from Neogaf that has the "movelist" files for the supposed leaked characters? not in the beta files. searched through them. he just made them up. also, no evidence of leaks from the beta files. i only saw the "Title Fight" image with Ratchet on it.

[Coolbgdog12]

I have a gut feeling that the list if fake simply because we seen Kat in the leaked images on superbot's site yet Kat isn't in that supposed character leak.

Also just because there is a character list there doesn't mean it's the final character roster.

Remember Omar said in a few interviews that they don't know how many characters they'll end up using in the final game so just because a character may be missing from that list doesn't mean they won't be in the game at all... I don't want DLC but if it's free...

[crimsonspider89]

Yanked means the devs removed the data before publishing but left the placeholder files.

Common practice in demos. Just got too hasty and left traces.

The post under mine has some listings of files that have leaked characters it would seem...

[Napalm_Frank]

Oh, Paul Gale would never lie. I can't wait to play that TMNT game by Rocksteady.

And he stated that it was a rumour. Everything he has stated about All Stars has been as fact and has indeed been proven to be correct.

From the Gales site:

I left it up to you to decide whether I’d even put up the story, because as I said before, this would clearly be a rumor (and one that I tried verifying its validity, but have not been able to do so just yet). You voted “What the hell…why not. We’ll take it as a rumor and not complain if it turns out false.”

This man gets way too much shit from these rumours he posts. It's all in good fun.

[ReaperXL07]

Daniel, Spike, Parappa ect don't have PS3 games and then there are the ones that do have but still are PSX era characters like Sweet Tooth, Toro, Heihachi.

I'm not saying the game is not great ( I have not played it so I have no say on that end) It looks great to me overall, but doing Cole twice, Having Big Daddy (despite my liking them) are two examples of character slots that could have been used for far better choices to a game like this.

I'm also just speaking from my own perspective here, because Sony has a ton of IP that I love that I'd like to see represented here, but I also understand that expecting everyone I want is probably unrealistic. It does not make it less disappointing though.

From the moment this game was revealed I knew there would be DLC. Characters that couldn't make it in the final cut,maps,etc.

Welp.

We don't know about Franzea, San Francisco, Stowaways and Timestation?

Also where is the Cargo Plane level?

[JStein0222]

The official reveals for this stuff are gonna be pretty killer too :/

[k_Reign]

I think we should all just wait for some official character reveals. We really don't need to be snooping around in this stuff...does anyone really want it spoiled before it can be official?

Welp. We don't know about Franzea, San Francisco, Stowaways and Timestation?

Time Station is likely the Ape Escape level.

[crimsonspider89]

Oh, the unlockable icon. I guess that means Lightning is going to be a hidden character. That is probably her placeholder data.

[Tagg9]

Also, good news for Sackboy fans. Every single character file has a "sackboy" folder with an animation script. I presume this means that Sackboy can transform into a LBP version of every character.

[The Grim Heaper]

Welp. We don't know about Franzea, San Francisco, Stowaways and Timestation? Also where is the Cargo Plane level?

Franzea is the LocoRoco level.

EDIT: And San Francisco will be a Resistance level.

[LuuKyK]

Okay guys I will post this in the OP as another rumor, since we don't know if this is true.

Oh, the unlockable icon. I guess that means Lightning is going to be a hidden character. That is probably her placeholder data.

Yes. Haha, that's probably more likely.

This sounds more likely based on how the files are organized.

[Gorillaz]

Oh, the unlockable icon. I guess that means Lightning is going to be a hidden character. That is probably her placeholder data.

IF crash or sypro was in it they would be a hidden unlock as well. No way in hell they would be a launch character. Too much legacy.

Ehh... how would this work? I'm confused

Either it's sackboy's super or it's a level "hazard".

[RedBoot]

Welp. We don't know about Franzea, San Francisco, Stowaways and Timestation? Also where is the Cargo Plane level?

Franzea: Locoroco

San Fran: Resistance

Stowaways: Uncharted/Cargo Plane

Timestation: Ape Escape.

Probably beaten by now, but there you go. Surprised there's only 14 stages.

[Drago]

Parappa sackboy should be a buff, now in 3d! He'd probably be a bit bigger too hah.

Cargo Plane might be Stowaways

Sacboy paint gun, more guns.

We have 'til October so I'm gonna still ask for the characters I want.

Kat please!

I gotta believe!

[Astrosanity]

Also, good news for Sackboy fans. Every single character file has a "sackboy" folder with an animation script. I presume this means that Sackboy can transform into a LBP version of every character.

Well that's good at least! Maybe they could let you port over your Sackboy designs from LBG/2 as an alt?

And maybe if they reveal all these leaked characters before the game comes out the presence of that 'hidden' icon suggests there's still a handful of hopefuls?

[LuuKyK]

OP uptated! :)

[GotchaForce]

We'll have to wait and see :-)

Hopefully Sackboy unzips, sucks opponents in and spits them out having doppleganged them.

btw, what levels are Dreamscape and Metropolis?

[Loudninja]

knowing about this is one thing actually seeing them is going to be awesome.

It sucks the stuff leaked but they still have quite alot to talk about.

[Jawmuncher]

So i'm guessing no Lightning if the Demo files are to be believed (maybe im blind but I didnt see her there)

There is still hope!!

There are unlockable characters apparently.

[k_Reign]

Woah, hey, may wanna change the OP. There is not confirmation that Sackboy can change into every character. We just know that every character appears as a Sack person...we don't know if that's Sackboy transforming or the other characters!

I am disappointed if neither Kat nor Lightning make it in...maybe DLC, I suppose, hahah.
