There better be some Demon Souls/Dark Souls recognition in this.
Add the Maiden in Black, Solaire of Astora ("Praise the sun!") or one of these dudes.

Does anyone else think that they are making Parappa powerful so everyone plays as him. And then they release a Parappa game.

Singstar Mic compatable for his special attack bases the damage on how well you stay in pitch while singing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5Pm7BL-hyo

It'd be sweet if they made Mimics some kind of item or trap. A Dark Souls themed level would be awesome. Or maybe have a soapstone special item that lets you summon an NPC Solaire to throw lightning at foes for a limited time.

Yes, solaire summoning item and/or mimic trap would be awesome.

At the very least, should get some demon's souls representation.

I agree. This game as well as LBP Karting need to be on Vita with cross play.

Yes, LBPK and PASBR Vita should be released day and date with the console version.

Of course, Sony will not do that. Months/years later Vita will get ports of those games developed by other companies and will bomb badly.

Maybe. Team ICO has a niche but vocal fanbase, so I'm sure they at least considered them.

I just don't know how you could give either of them a full move set.

Sotc sold over 1 million copies, I wouldn't call it that niche. Probably more recognizable then Fat Princess.

Wow, I am getting pumped for this.

All this sounds great. I HATE fighting games, but I love the casual ones like Smash and Power Stone, so this is sounding better and better.

They are going to be at E3 right? Hopefully PAX as well. I need normal, average fans to test this out and give their impressions. They are always the unbiased ones.

I'm not really into the visual style at all, and Sony's character roster isn't going to make me want to purchase this game unfortunately. Will wait for third party news.

I think they will try and get gamers that play PSA Battle Royale interested in these IPs by exposure. Parappa sequel would be pretty damn cool, they could use elements from Theatrhythm or Elite Beat Agents or Guitaroo Man. Parappa and his universe are wonderful and charming.

I guess niche wasn't really the right word. Just that SotC is like the Metroid compared to God of War's or Uncharted's Mario or Zelda. A critically acclaimed game with a vocal fanbase, but not really recognizable outside of the enthusiast crowd.

I'm sure they definitely want to represent it in some fashion, but I'm not sure how they could work as playable characters. Team ICO games intentionally give the player a pretty limited move set.

Also I'm loving the scenery animation/interaction.



Jak & Daxter scenery suddenly getting turned into a golf course from Hot Shots Golf where the characters are throwing balls at you.

Actually, I want something original where they combine their characters. That would've been far more interesting to me. Ratchet, Crash, Sly, etc. They could've built a game that utilized all their franchises that wasn't a Brawl type game and built something cool. Instead they cloned something from Nintendo... AGAIN. It's just not interesting to me.

Sony needs to stop playing it so safe all the time. The reason Smash Bros. was so amazing was it was something completely out of left field but retained popular characters. It grew from there. I think Sony underestimates their ability to do something similar.

While I agree with you, this is something I've wanted ever since I got burned out on Nintendo right around the Wii era coming into existence. Sony has a way more varied and robust collection of games/characters that are exclusive to their platform, what will be interesting is how many third party characters they add and how niche/unknown they'll go.

I'm still holding out hope for Riou from Suikoden 2 but that's just my favorite RPG of all time and I doubt they'll go with any RPG character that can be renamed/and or is a mostly silent protagonist. I just realized how goofy it would be to play as a silent character in this game.. I'd be happy with any obscure RPG character to be honest.

Hmmm half and half on this game. I'm sure it'll at least be way more playable online than Wii smash was, so there's that to look forward to. 60FPS is good.

I'm genuinely curious if they'll have a ranked online mode for those people who are in the fighting game community. They could make some serious strides with the game if they do appease to that market as well.

I hope Cole gets into this game too. I'd probably main him. Snake is a great idea too if he makes it.

I wonder if they'll take a chimera or Nathan Hale for the Resistance mascot to put in. Lot of great characters they can pull from.

The character we need to be vocal about is the Knight on the cover of Demon's Souls coming to this game.

Let me put it another way.

Characters in this type of game inhabit and represent the game worlds they're from. They are perpetually part of these places, even if their quest is over. See: Smash Brothers.

Shadow of the Colossus and ICO's worlds are destroyed or sealed off, the characters from them are either dead or inhabiting some metaphorical plane of existence.

It's not that cross-overs have to "make sense", but I don't think Wander was meant to live on perpetually outside of his game.

It's not merely being dead, because Kratos is dying and living always. It's that there's nowhere for Wander to be after the events portrayed in his game. No conflict, no turmoil, nothing.

Looks interesting, I hope that more interesting characters are announced since none of them interest me at the moment, except for Parappa :D
