PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale GTTV Video

I would wait for proper footage to do pixel comparisons. Stream artifacting is brutal.

How many exclusive characters/brands does Sony have, anyway?

Looks alright so far, I guess. I need to look at better quality footage instead of something as unreliable as the Gametraiers video player. Still, this is a game I want to like so it will have to take a lot of bad decisions from Sony and Superbot to ruin it for me.

I played all the Killzone games and I had no clue who "Radec" was until I saw him lol

They should have just used a generic helghast solider, then they could easily give them different costumes.

But instead they are stuck with Radec..........

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Um, is it me, or does Fat Princess pull of Peach's Side-B a few times in the video?

The idea with stages (and soundtracks) being mixed is pretty cool, wouldn't mind perhaps Nintendo stealing that for Smash Brothers...maybe...:?

Hmm. It's certainly an interesting idea to do a Sony battle royale game, but there aren't a lot of Sony characters that really make me excited for this.

I'll probably give it a chance though.

Looking again at the video, is it just me or the characters look poorly detailed and low poly?

Maybe she's supposed to be "simplistic" looking, but they could have added a lot more to her design. There's no excuse, specially when you compare it to this, which was done in hardware considerably less powerful:

The low quality stream makes it hard to judge. I'll wait for HD direct feed videos.

Probably a question for creative game developers rather than forum goers.

No doubt that this game will do things better than Smash Bros. Online, textures, stuff on screen. But if people are being as objective as they claim, this is another in a long line of humorous attempts of Sony to capture the magic of one of Nintendo's franchises.

Oh, okay, it seemed like many people who are upset that it's such a ripoff would have some other ideas as to what would work better. I'm struggling to find a style or gameplay that would be better than SSB-style.

So, according to you, this is objectively a humorous attempt of a game by Sony?
 
And part of it is Nintendo's fault for leaving the door wide open for that kinda stuff. If they had a perfectly implemented online for Brawl, less people would be saying, "Hey, I wish Sony/MS would rip-off Smash Bros, so we can actually play it online."

Hopefully they learn.

Well pretty much every online game they've released since then has been better so...yeah

That would be awesome, I hope something like this is revealed at E3, can you imagine fighting on top of the moving train!

Yeah, it could be like Big Blue! I'm sorry, I just had to. I'll stop now

Like I've already said a few days ago in a different thread:
The flaming and trolling from the Nintendo fans will be hilarious as soon as this game will be shown.
And I was right.
Even some mods here are doing their best, as I can see.
Way to go! ;)

I just hope there's an eventual thread for the game that isn't clogged up with this shit.

Neeeeeed Lara. Wasn't even that hyped for her until I saw the gameplay, now for some reason she's the character I want most.

Well, it's still too early to say if this dev can also pull off the game online. Of course, it'd be hard to do it WORSE than Brawl, but still. :p

I think the characters themselves look to fit in the same universe, but the all encompassing haze along with the dull color palette makes it look kinda unappealing. They even managed to make Ratchet's stage all grimdark when I remember that place being very vibrant.

I guarantee this game would look 100x better on a clear, bright Jouney level, for example.

Aye. It might just be the video quality saying that, but either way I agree on the color pallete.

It would be awesome if they put some Uncharted stage on this. Just imagine the train level in Uncharted 2.

That would be awesome, I hope something like this is revealed at E3, can you imagine fighting on top of the moving train!

Man, I really want to see a better quality trailer. The colors looks so muted and drab.

Well, for one, it's probably not the best idea to post a screenshot taken from blown up and a horribly encoded and compressed video of in-game footage and then compare it to a shrunken down bullshot of another game to try and prove your point.

I'm surprised how poor (visually) and uninspired (well, more like too inspired) this looks, but it could be fun. Unfortunately, my Power Stone itch remains unscratched.

But that's the thing, if they made it like Power Stone then you would also have people complain that, well, it looks like Power Stone.

The problem is that Sony took far too long to make a mascot fighting game, now there are too many fighting games out there so it becomes a lot harder to come up with something original, any similarity to any other game will be mentioned (SSB in this case)

I'm thinking you watched a low-res TV airing and then rewatched a "HD" recording of that low-res TV airing.

That's...your problem? Radec and Visari are memorable. The rest aren't.

We're really going to need a "Playstation All-Stars vs. Smash Bros garbage thread" pretty soon. Otherwise, every PSAS thread in the future is going to be filled with this garbage.

Final boss is Mario which leads to the inevitable Smash Bros X All Stars crossover game.

I would jizz in my pants with the intensity of a thousand suns.

Please have guess starts, maybe someone from say a game where people fight on the street, perhaps a stoic Japanese dude in karate uniform as well as another character from a fighting series where people, fight to the death, you could say they fought in mortal combat perhaps?

Guests are confirmed. Scorpion would be awesome too...
 
Won't be them. It is no longer 'back in the day'. And that makes me sad.

Did you miss when he said they looked back over the past 2 decades of Playstation history when going over characters? Impossible to say that and "3rd party is a huge part of Playstation" and not have Crash and Spyro.
 
Guys, the muted look of the game is due to the terrible GTTV quality of the encode. It makes all games look like shit every single time. Have some people not realized this yet?

Wait for better quality footage, like I said, hopefully they release a trailer so we get to see how it looks properly and not all washed out.

Something tells me we won't be seeing as many upskirt photos on this one...

I'll give Sony two things its got going for them right now for this game, some good quality online multiplayer support and season passes, lol!

Hell, If Brawl had good online, I'd still be playing it today. I hope SuperBot values the online component of All Stars very high and works really hard on netcode and features. I want to party up with a friend and play 2v2 online against a matchmade team, with minimal lag. Can't do any of that in Brawl.

Nah, this will pass. The similarities are so striking that its going to ignite a lot of "Wow...." responses. Theres no way you could watch that video and not see it coming a mile away. Its shockingly similar. Its taken full on weeks of iPhone/Mobile thread dustups to get a garbage thread for that. Its been about an hour for this game.

Folks will say their piece and this will pass.

this makes too much sense, it will be ignored

I don't know, really. A crossover game can literally be anything, but they just happened to make it look almost the same as the 10 million selling Nintendo version.

Maybe that's because fans had been begging for years for a Smash clone with Sony characters?

I know I've been wanting a Sony Smash game for about 10 years. Playstation characters like Ratchet, Jak, and Sly are just as memorable for me as Samus, Link, etc.
