Rumor: Leaked stages/characters from Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale [Updated]

Seems pretty boring to me. Only manage to looks less boring then the Infamous one (I don't even know what the hell is that place). Columbia is clearly the best one.

The Killzone stage does look particularly good for one reason to me...the bridge above the lower part of the stage!

Those are stills at the stage select. The crossover happens when they start moving.

I think this looks like someone knew a closed beta tester.

thats what i meant to say :p


And many of us are beta testers, but the beta consists of only the first 6 characters announced and the first stages announced.

Well if this whole leak is true, at the very least I can say that I'm happy with Sony's own lineup of characters and stages. (with the exception of Evil Cole, I love inFamous but that is really redundant)

3rd party wise, I don't really have a problem with the IPs being represented per se, but I'm disappointed that they decided to cross market upcoming games and characters, instead of going with the classic choices that are synonymous with Playstation. (ex: TTT2 Heihachi instead of classic, Metal Gear Rising Raiden instead of Solid Snake, reboot Dante instead of original, Lightning instead of Cloud)

Seeing no orange bandicoot or purple dragon took the wind out of my sails.

Yes I fine the stages boring,but thats a picture no telling what is going on in them.

For a example the Ratchet level is crazy as hell. You have to remember these stages are completely alive.

I'm surprised by the inclusion of the DMC Dante, but I'm guessing it came up when they were asking for Nariko from Ninja Theory. That's just speculating, though.

I'm still indifferent to most of the roster, tbh.
 
I'm not totally convinced- remember that every other stage revealed so far has been a crossover of some kind. These are all just straight normal stages? They do look nice, though.

I also seriously doubt they'd use Dino. It just makes no sense.

But hey, it looks more legit than that Monster Hunter for Vita "leak"

Thing is, notice how LittleBig Planet's stage looks "crossoverless" as well. I think they will be crossover stages, but as these look like beta, or even alpha stage stages, they would be mashed up later on.
 
I hope Dino is top tier and only has shirtless alt costume.

I don't really mind him at all. DmC looks pretty cool and we will have old dante costume. It's not like DMC3 Dante wasn't annoying from what I remember lol

Actually It probably came with CAPCOM desperately trying to promote their new DMC game.

The LBP one that the guy leaked only had LBP stuff.

As others said, you can only see the transformations while playing in the stages. Those are probably from the select stage screen or something.

Ya, i think we will see a huge difference when they are moving full force.
 
Spikes great and all, but Dino, seriously? Evil Cole?

Where are Cloud and Wander? They define the PS1 and PS2 eras utterly in terms of Sonys image, and instead we get a clone and a character nobody wanted?

I've been saying it to my friends since this game got announced, if those two aren't in it, somewhere, someone along the line fucked up, and are to blame and it's a crying shame.
 
Most of those stages are bland as hell and I understand the games they are from and why they are there but good god at that infamous stage

sly cooper is best stage, atleast they did that one right
 
I said closed beta. Aren't you guys open beta?

Anyway, could of been a ESRB, Superbot, or design crew letting a friend see it.

EDIT: Those are the stage select screen pre crossover. Wait till we get the action shots. They start out normal. Also fully expecting a Titan or Devourer come crashing through the crates and maybe fighting a Long Gui from FFXIII

The inFamous stage is kind of a weird pick, there's several more interesting places to pick from in inFamous 1 alone, much less part 2. But yeah, these images are all basically half a stage since the mash-up is so vital. For all we know, a Colossus comes in and bashes the inFamous stage up halfway through.

Some people got invites, i and few others got it from the Hong Kong ps store for PS+, is that private?

Did you make a Muse b side song reference on purpose? :p
 
Also Kuro/Toro in SFxT for the PS3/Vita implies a Capcom/Sony exclusive deal and explains why Dino got in. Kuro/Toro got in SfXT and now Dino. WE now know why.

And Lightning is the new face of FF. Could of been worse, we could of gotten Hope(even though I like him) or Snow( I WILL PROTECT ________________).

I believe the stages are real (look awesome as hell) but I doubt the characters leak will prove true. I listed this before, but this is a list of the remaining characters i feel are yet to be announced. I made this list based on all the Paul Gate info and all the hints that have been dropping since the Micheal ad trailer:
1)Snake
2)Nariko
3)Ico and Yorda
4)DMC3 Dante (or Megaman or Ryu. I can't call the Capcom spot)
5)Sackboy
6)Kazuma Kiryu
7)Ratchet and Clank
8)Cloud
9)Crash
10)Kevin Butler
11)Ezio/Conner

How bout a little love for Disgaea? Its always been a ps staple, and dropping meteors or prinnies on people would be sweet.

Seriously this

Disgaea
Yakuza


DESERVE to be in this game!

So currently I have two ideas as to why cl0ck is silent

either

1. Leak is legit and they are pissed

or

2. leak is not accurate but all this buzz is good for the game!

I dont get it, what's everyone laughing at about the cat?

I'm disappointed in those stages. I want bigger ones with layers, dammit.

I really think they have a DLC plan with characters are variety stages. Stages have to be or else they will fracture the community, and I'm questioning the sales of this game if they lack some of the big third party names like Crash.

Crash is easily THE most asked for character behind Spyro/Cloud
 
I think all those stages look awesome except for that awful infamous stage. A mash up could make it better but you'd still have to look at the first part of the stage for a little bit.

Yup, there was some memorable areas in Infamous 2 and that stage looks pretty bland.

Super happy about Cole being in the game.

Guys, I think we can all agree that this entire list is unconfirmed.

And about the Infamous Stage being boring, would anyone be surprised if we ended up scaling the tower?

Or at least, something awesome will come of it.

Infamous in general hasn't been especially famous for their aesthetic lol

Anyway goin to bed, ill leave you with the last tiny tidbit i know, Sackboy apparently uses his level editor for attacks somehow o_O i have no idea how.
And thats it, thats everything i know haha.

And no i dont know anybody elses moves, just that one!


Holy crap all that information was eating away at me, im glad i got to talk about it XD

Now we just have to wait and see if anything is actually true :p

Absolutely, we wont know till it happens.
 
Is the bottom left stage Destroyed Capital from Warhawk?

Also has there been any guesses to which games will cross over with these stages. Would be awesome if the Twisted Metal stage got mixed with some Warhawk due to their connection (btw, Black Rock Stadium is the perfect stage for this game. There are so many environmental hazards in that level that they could incorporate into this).
 
No Cloud strikes me as a huge oversight and this is coming from someone who really does not give a shit about Final Fantasy. Similar case with Lara Croft, but at least we got that lovely message from Crystal Dynamic's PR people in advance that she wouldn't be in the game.

If I could change the roster but keep it at 22 characters and ignore things like company politics, I'd probably swap Raiden for Snake, Nariko with Lara Croft, Lightening with Cloud Strife, DINO with either regular Dante or classic Jill Valentine, Big Daddy with Crash and Evil Cole with Spyro. For the record I expect Raiden and Big Daddy to be perfectly fine if not great characters and the others I'll likely warm up to (like I did with Wolf being in Brawl), but the alternatives I listed would still be better.

That area wasn't under the tower, though (if I'm remembering my inFamous geography correctly). It was in a different part of that district. You go there to save Zeke at one point.

A level of scaling the trash tower would be great, though. Of course, you could also do a stage where you scale a Colossus. :)

Nobody cares about Lara guys get over it!

Also no point in talking about the stages because we don't know what they are cross with.

TTT2 Heihachi IS classic Heihachi, isn't he? Black hair and everything.

And since when has Lightning been confirmed? I skipped over a number of pages, so maybe I missed it.

Otherwise, I agree. Seems like a decent lineup (sans pointless Evil Cole) but it's way too current gen focused. Not sure what point there is in celebrating the PS3 when they should be celebrating the PS1 and PS2.
 
Infamous 2, you never had to save Zeke. You had to lift an object and move objects so he can walk forward. And that is based in the same area. Last portion of New Mareis there is that area and the docks. You travel through that area to reach the docks. In the north portion IIRC. Played it and beat it today on hard.

You better pray for this to be true because if the Farron Godess is not in this and you already made me believe she is... Well, you better fear for your life.

Why Sony would do Capcom any favors?

To pay less to include one of their characters in the game?
 
The stage designs look pretty legit. The Evil Cole thing gives me pause, though. I mean, why of all of Sony's IPs would Infamous get two characters while everything else only gets one? Maybe Evil Cole is a transformation from normal Cole, like Samus in SSB? I dunno. Strikes me as odd.

Also if Raiden and newDante are characters, it really feels like the third-parties are more deals Sony made to cross-promote upcoming games instead of getting actual third-parties that mattered to the Playstation.

Or scale the tower and have a colossus invade and switch off between scaling the tower and the colossus.

Costumes are already confirmed, I will be my bottom dollar evil Cole is a costume and not his own character. Nowhere in the leak does it say these are all unique characters (and for that matter it also doesn't say these are all the characters either.)
 
Spyro, Crash, and Lara should be in the game. I associate all of those characters with the Playstation.

Ico should be in the game. I like the Nariko choice even though they've abandoned the Heavenly Sword franchise.

It's mutually beneficial. Capcom gets free advertising for their new game, and Sony gets a popular, well-loved character (cough) to guest star in their game.

Still it is a bit surpising since capcom this gen has pretty much treated sony as a afterthought.
 
It's ridiculous how badly people expect and want Crash (and Spyro/Cloud) to be in this game. I'm really thinking sales are going to be affected by this. It really blows that Activision/SE have to be so stuck up as to not allow this for their crossover or how Sony hasn't struck a deal with them. Makes me think they dont take the game as seriously as we do, or see its potential.

And the lack of anything by Team ICO is astonishing, but I must assume they will be DLC. It makes no other sense

Just out of curiousity, I thought that Superbot stated that there would be unlockable characters, stages, costumes and what not?

If that is true, there is no reason to believe that characters like cloud, snake, LOD, etc, could not be unlockables...

Are unlockable characters usually listed in pre-release character lists, revealed purprosely before the game comes out?

(No Abe from Oddworld is going to piss me the fuck off)

Haha while i have no logical reason to think its not true, especially with this whole leak, im still quite afraid to be wrong lol.

Please dont murder me if its not true, cause im honestly not lying to you, i would have been lied to also! XD
