Oh, just found out that that mechanical bird creature is from BioShock Infinite. I was hoping it was Clockwerk but I thought it didn't resemble him that much. I know there are a few series with two stages dedicated to them, but BioShock Infinite is the only third party game and already has a full stage dedicated to it, I feel like its a missed opportunity; Clockwerk has a lot of powers from the ending of Sly Cooper 1 and 2 that could of easily been used as a stage hazard for Stowaway.
Yup I noticed that yesterday and I actually didn't realize it with any of the new characters. Once I seen it happen to Sweet Tooth though, it definitely stood out because I wasn't used to seeing it on him.

That's awesome! I think the new KO sound is a step in the right direction, but it still doesn't sound quite right. Like, when you KO someone in SSB, it's epic and loud, IIRC it has cheering in it as well? I always loved the cheering if you go on a KO streak, I hope All-Stars has something similar - making KOs feel awesome and rewarding.

Let's be real here, Crash probably isn't going to be in the game. Period. We can hope all we want, but the fact of the matter is that he's owned by Activision now, and due to that he might not make it in. Regardless, Playstation, as I said, has a large amount of females to pick from and the fact that some of them may not make it in upsets people.
Also, African Americans are not very important characters, if there are any, to Playstation's lineage. There are many female Allstars, so people wanting to have them included to balance out the male/female ratio is understandable.
Everything in the lasted build just looks and sounds better.
The freeze before they die and its a nice loud sound now.
New character select screen:
A few pages late, but this is lovely! Hope that it's final.
I havent seen it, link?

Ah nice nice. It really pisses me off that the most recent roster additions seem to only be playable at special events where the devs are. It makes sense, but I would've lost my mind if they had all the recent additions at the PS Experience tourbus.
Damn Jaks lightning gun is the best happy birthday ive seen thus far.
Jak is looking crazy awesome, i also like how aggressive he was being with jak im glad jak can dish the melee damage out.
Awesome end screen.
You know one of the things i notice the most in the beta (and hate) is when a matched is finished it shows the win screen but the same music from the level still plays (obviously something they are going to change but still). They need to have a win song for sure.

THIS. I never realized it until now, but they better be doing this. One of the things I loved about the SSB series was how much was put into each character. They had their own theme songs, levels, etc, but it really was awesome to be at the score screen and seeing your character do an awesome pose or dance, with their music playing in the background. I feel like the current win screen needs to be heavily revamped as well (though they said it will).
That crap is freaking awesome!!! Drake FTW!!!!
Also i thought you were zabuza at first look haha, might consider a slightly different avatar? Not a problem or anything, just good to have a distinguishable idenity
Hehehe we're twins.
*High Five* can't wait to play with him hope you can shoot off of melees like in his own game.
I got a collection of some of the character portaits
Some of them look really nice. What I would do to improve them though is:
I feel Sackboy should have a globe behind him. Cole looks like evil cole so they should think about changing his pic to something more happy looking . Radec's background should be black so that his eyes stand out. There should be stars behind Ratchet. Drakes should have slightly less black at the bottom. Maybe Heihachi's can have electricity and Big Daddy bubbles to show he's under water. Jak and Parappa's are both fine.

Oh wow. Do you have the links to all these vids?
Oh, thanks. Jak looks awesome, can't wait to play as him.

Only thing disappointing me so far is the soundtrack.
I want to hear the iconic God of War soundtrack....no go, the Hades track isn't good.
I want to hear the iconic LittleBigPlanet theme....no go, although the song they have in there isn't bad.
I'm assuming Drake's theme won't be in there for Uncharted either, ugghh.
The soundtrack is something SuperBot could take some lessons on from Smash Bros.

The soundtrack is a remix mesh of music representing the games in each stage. According to Omar, the soundtrack is amazing enough that it should have its own separate release.
I really like how they made sweet tooth look he actually looks terrifying they were able to capture that in his portrait
Yeah I can't lie thats slightly disappointing maybe they are represented in the game in other ways like when you beat their campaign or something.

Yes, but the music in the beta isn't great.
I think what they are doing is taking the actual music from the stages which aren't as epic as the theme songs for each game.
The only one that truly stands out to me is when the patapon music starts playing in Hades but again I'm judging based off Youtube videos where I can't completely hear everything.
edit: and maybe the GOW Theme on Metropolis and the KZ Theme in the Parappa stage.

They have picked really weird songs from all the games so far. They have such a great basis to choose from, and they seem to be combining these songs in the least memorable way. Like the Patapon song, why not jut use the main Patapn theme that everybody knows?
Yeah I'm not liking the music right now. I hope it changes or you can switch it out like in Brawl.

uncharted's theme song HAS to be in the game. love that theme.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
I think overall changes look great and better, so I need to keep my hype little low so I wouldn't be disappointed with the final result of the game. I need a list of all future events and schedule, please. I am trying to figure out how many characters that we should get.
I can think of PAX, TGS and NYCC

I'm still seeing so many people hate on this game just because it was obviously directly inspired by Smash Bros., and I just don't get it. Look, I adore Nintendo and Smash, and have spent far more hours over the years than I'd care to admit playing Smash 64, Melee, and Brawl. Hell, Brawl is one of my favorite games of all time.
But if Sony can take the foundation of an amazing series like Smash and make its own great game with its own colorful cast of characters -- whether it ends up being as good as Smash or not (and it probably won't, because, you know, Sakurai) -- why shouldn't it? Since when does Nintendo "own" the Smash concept? Sure, they invented it and this game is something of a ripoff, but it does have its own style of play and set of rules, and in the end we all win because we've got one more great game to play than we did before Sony announced it.
There are just so many haters out there who fail to recognize that when a company makes a fun game, whether or not it's an original one, we all win and no one loses.
</soapbox>

Every rational person believes this. Don't mean to rain on your parade, but you didn't have to sum it up. I see this posted every day on another playstation all-stars topic. If some fanboy chooses not to believe this, its their decision, they're just stupid.
Not happening. It's either NYCC or BGS. They happen on the exact same days, so they wouldn't have different character announcements on the same day, in different events.

well either ways, its a fact that all stars will be present during BGS. so it could just be the same demo from gamescom or some new reveals.

Yeah, I know I didn't need to sum it up, you're right. I think I just finally reached my minor breaking point and had to say something. But yeah, I know other people have probably said exactly what I just did tons of times already, so... sorry for the wasted post, I guess.

There, there. Let it all out. Nobody hurt Omar's feelings. . . Well maybe except for Paul Gale.

These are so lovely, my goodness.

I hope falling off would make you lose 1 entire super bar, however; the stunning mechanic may be just as painful.

He can say all that he wants, but from what I've heard, the soundtrack is merely serviceable.
Something like Smash makes sure to give the fans the tracks they expect, and in glorious orchestrated quality, too.
Yeah that's my other problem with it. They are choosing some really weak songs from each game instead of the songs they're known for.

i really wanted the wedding song from LBP2 for the LBP level.
My god that would have been so perfect.
