Kat AND free DLC?!

Day 1 purchase confirmed. Was on the fence a bit because I was a little worried about another SfxT DLC situation. But not anymore.

Good job, Superbot.
 
Emmett, ehh don't know anything about him except that he is the Starhawk dood.

Good that they got Kat outta the way since she is the most requested 1st party character (along with Wander lolteamico). Spy and maid costumes as alts pls.

You guys are crazy. Emmett's a great pick, especially with his ability to call stuff out of the sky. That will be great fun.

And people call this a dirty cashgrab, IN YOUR FACE!
Way to deliver superbot! Hope this game has lots of DLC characters in the future.
 
great another character nobody wants. All I ask for is some ICO/SOTC character. Kat is cool though and free so I can't really complain.

"These DLC All-Stars still have a long way to go before they’re ready to be shown off"


So they pretty much only started working on Kat after the community outrage. Kinda shows how clueless they were about what the fans wanted -.-



Yeah, Activision will be getting a cut off the DLC.

They've been working on the game for 3 years. Gravity Rush released late last year in Japan, and a few months ago in the US. I don't think Superbot realized that Kat would have such a fan following so quickly.

In either case, this is great news that she's in the game, because she's a fun, entertaining character.

Superbot knows what the fans want. Unfortunately, most of the fans want characters that Superbot simply doesn't have the rights to, like Crash, Spyro, Solid Snake, Cloud, etc. They work with what licensing deals they can negotiate. It's not a matter of "Derp, we are teh clueless as to what the fans want."

Even before there was a Title Fight, PlayStation fans have put together "what if" rosters fo a Smash Bros, type game from Sony.
 
Emmett? I even had to look up who that guy is. Kat on the other hand is awesome :D

But if they include stuff like Emmet, why no Gabe Logan superbot? :(

I am kind of disappointed that their most iconic franchise GT does not get a stage or any kind of mention in this game. They really should have a stage centered around GT. Great news on the free DLC though!

And Emmett is a great, surprising choice! I really loved Starhawk, but didn't expect him to get any love. The only issue with Emmett is that characterization was sorely missing in the single player campaign of Starhawk.

I won't lie either, I'm glad to see the game get a black character rep as well as an additional female character.

Yes Kat, so hyped!

Was gonna grab P4G and wait till I had beat it to grab this but free awesome DLC jumps it to day 1 as well.

I guess Emmett looks cool, and has a cool name, but he's a wasted slot if I've ever seen one.

Still, Kat is a wonderful addition.
 
Wooooooot!

I wonder what this means for online play. They are free so there could be a mandatory patch and you have to "unlock" through the store since they are only free for 2 weeks. That would be the best move, then they could patch in other stuff like stages and arcade modes etc for the dlc characters at the same time.

Patience. They're not gonna give marquee characters as freebies.

These are decent choices for that purpose.

Its not about paid or free, they won't have ICO/SOTC characters period. Team Ico refused to let them us their characters.

So they are only going to be free the first 2 weeks of release then paid afterwards? Thats an interesting way of pricing to reward active members but still make money from the latecomers. I like it and I hope all DLC character pricing are like that.

Exactly. People are seeing this as a 'OMG CHARACTER SUCKS' and not as what he can do to create some havoc up in this shit!

Kat and Emmett are great choices for fighting characters.

Yep, Emmett have potential to be a cool figher with his mech, jetpack, buildings and all his other sci-fi shit.

Nice! Unleaked characters are exciting enough, but I'm also a big Starhawk fan.

Kat is such a fan favorite too- good move.
