The problem is that most of the memorable PS1/PS2 games on our side(s) of the world weren't coming from Sony.

That's not a problem at all, as they could always get some third parties on board. Even Nintendo did that themselves with Brawl, so there should be no reason for Sony to not use 3rd party characters. And if that Long Live Play commerical truly is anything to go by, then there should definitely be some 3rd party characters present.

I'd be quite surprised if Snake and a Final Fantasy rep aren't in this game.

 

[Ravage]

I hope Kazuma Kiryu is in

[charlequin]

That's more like it!

Kazuma would be cool, but no force on Earth could get me to buy this game if fucking Kevin Butler is in it.

Or Ethan Mars, he could press X to

suck

ftfy

Oh hell yes.

You make it sound so easy. Sure, just throw 'em all in there! They won't mind! It's just like licensing songs for Rock Band, right? Hell, every month we'll get a new third-party character!

How about i use Parappa as a character and KB as his handheld weapon, so i pummel your character to death indirectly with KB

 

[Radius]

This blog post from last year mentions Tombi as one of the games going through the clearance process for emulation. Something might have stopped it from getting through since it's been so long and we haven't heard anything about it.

This week Jawad mentioned that it has been submitted for release, so assuming it doesn't freeze it shouldn't take much longer.

 

[batmandarkknight]

What kind of art direction are you guys hoping for?

I'm really wanting a cell shaded approach. Kinda like Okami. And when you land some punches, some ink spill like the SF4 trailer.

 

[SykoTech]

You make it sound so easy.

No I didn't. YOU made it sound as if it was impossible for Sony to use any "memorable" characters from the PS1/PS2 days, and I corrected you. Then you made some unfunny joke about licensed music because you have no argument left.

What kind of art direction are you guys hoping for?

I think something like Marvel 4 would look like. The art style allowed realistic characters to still look like themselves and blend in with the more cartoony characters nicely.

 

[Fou-Lu]

I find it amusing that in a game about iconic Sony characters duking it out, my most wanted character is Kevin Butler.

As for art style... I'd say soft cell shading would be nice, enough to blur the lines between the realistic and cartoony characters.

BTW, why no Toan, Max or Monica for wanted characters guys?

 

[ScreenSplitter]

If they can talk to Activision, and get Crash and Spyro in, LOOKING LIKE THEY DID IN 1999, then I might consider buying it.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

I would buy this in an instant if Sir Daniel Fortesque was in this. Crash and Spyro have been dragged through too much stupid crap for me to care anymore but Medievil was a game I played TONS whenever I got my hands on my older cousin's PS1 when I was little. PaRappa already apparently being in this makes me hope they're going to get pretty obscure with the character choices rather than sticking with PS2/3 era franchises (doesn't help I'm not that huge a Sony fan in the first place).

 

[StoppedInTracks]

They tried hard to find a Name longer than Super Smash Brothers Melee. And they did it.

 

[Beef Stallmer]

They should drop the "Rumor: " -part. Title is long enough as it is :-(

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I hope they include Pyramid Head as a third party contestant, and give him a special attack based on that one cutscene with PH and the mannequin.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Kazuma Kyriu or no buy

 

[Cesar]

They also better get Noby Noby boy in there somehow.

 

[StealthGoblin]

I suspect the name of the series will be "PlayStation AllStars" and then various subtitles will denote sequels.

Battle Royale
CrossOver Chaos
Battle Opera

etc

 

[plainr_]

replace cloud/scorpion with mr. skyline/translator-san and we have the perfect roster.

Already brought up, CrossOver Chaos would be the best fit name since they could write it as X-Over ChΔ[]s

why not james? he could be twice as strong against unarmed, helpless, sick women.

I just want to see Pyramid Head sexually assaulting Parappa, that's all.

there's always fanart.

 

[Sylver]

I'd love to see some characters from Demon's Souls or Legend of Dragoon.

 

[AngryMoth]

That name is alright. Do we know which studio is developing this? There's so much potential with the characters they have but I don't really have any faith in Sony to actually make it a good game.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Couldn't find anything with Parappa I did find a drawing of PH raping Sonic though.

Supposedly Superbot Entertainment are the ones making it.

you've put the idea out into the collective conscious of the internet. now you just have to wait for someone to draw it.

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

My special request is Rico Rodriguez.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I can't imagine the fanart and fanfiction this game might end up inspiring if they put third party characters in it.

I hope they come up with some stupid over the top story to justify all these characters coming together in the same game.

Did the smash bro's games ever have a story?

Brawl seems to have a story, at least.

Could they make the title any longer? lol



Only Brawl.

well I can guess the actual title will be

PlayStation All-Stars : Battle Royale.

So it can always just be shortened to just PlayStation All-Stars.

[The Xtortionist]

Please have good netcode, please have good netcode...

 

[Drencrom]

Kazuma would be cool, but no force on Earth could get me to buy this game if fucking Kevin Butler is in it.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Kevin Butler has to be in the game, at least as the announcer.

 

[batmandarkknight]

Give me some Fighting Force characters and I'm good to go.

 

[A Human Becoming]

It would be a huge missed opportunity if he wasn't the announcer. He'd really set the tone.

 

[Grokbu]

Please have good netcode, please have good netcode...

Yeah. I am a bit worried that they have no idea just how important it is to have sturdy netcode for fighting games. As someone with noone to play with locally, it's crushing me to wait for a game only to find out that the netcode sucks.

 

[salromano]

replace cloud/scorpion with mr. skyline/translator-san and we have the perfect roster.

You and I both know there's no way Translator-san is getting a spot. =(

I'd say keep Cloud and Scorpion, and remove Fat Princess and the lady above her (I can't put a name on her or what game she's from, but I'm thinking of Vanillaware), and replace them with White Knight/Noctis (might as well start getting him known now - in case Versus XIII actually comes out) and a Demon's Souls knight. And if it's not too much to ask (it is), maybe a character from Tales. I've always enjoyed Yuri's character, so it would be nice to see him.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

just a fraction of what could be

So what this image tells me is that sony hasnt history and its only 10 years old.
Apart from some not having even a personality and me not giving a shit about half of them.

Why not add some history, like Sir Daniel Fortesque?

I suppose that image is not promotion from the game, and I suppose (hope) theres some old characters, but im talking about it because people are here using it as if this game can have a good roster.
If the game has something like this it will fail in one of the most important things SSB has, history of a videogame company.

replace cloud/scorpion with mr. skyline/translator-san and we have the perfect roster.

This image corroboartes my post. Its using a heavy number of third party characters to compensate the lack of first party good ones.

You can't remove too many females; it's enough of a sausage fest as it is.

 

[Canova]

Heavenly Sword and Gravity Daze chicks but not one character from The Souls series, man Souls series just can't buy any respect.

At the very least Biorr, Sunbro and Maiden in Black should be there

 

[StealthGoblin]

I have a strong feeling this will be half baked. It also needs to release this year.

It'll ship with no marketing push and broken multiplayer. Won't even chart.

If Sony were clever they'd announce the first 8 fighters, then reveal via the media a character a week on the blogs and in magazines. Get 3rd parties to profile their own characters to and even get a demo out on games that release ahead of it as well as get a good meaty demo on PSN.

This type of game isn't hard to market at all.

 

[blitzcloud]

add cloud strife in cooperation with square. Sell 15 millions, lol.

I'm one of the weird guys who enjoyed ehrgeiz

Wow some of you are ridiculous,you know nothing about this new studio or how it works.

Yet we have already saying it will be half baked. I mean what the hell?
