Hmm, not sure about that character model at all. Looks a bit 'off'. They've made her look like a mannequin. Can't they just rip the same model used from Gravity Rush and place it in PASBR or something, lol.

No complaints about that stage though. Heavenly Sword and WipEout works out surprisingly well.

 

[Skyzard]

Stage looks good but yeah Kat looks way too smoothed.

 

[Sephiroth503]

That stage looks great. Makes me hopeful for other DLC they make have down the line.

Motorstorm Apocalypse Stage please!

 

[KevinCow]

Do we know if the stage is gonna be free too?

 

[Drencrom]

Do we know if the stage is gonna be free too?

Yes, it's included with Kat and Emmett.

 

[electroshockwave]

Yes, it's included with Kat and Emmett.

Is it going to available to everyone outside of the initial free week? I'm not sure how it would handle some players not having stage in online matchmaking.

Even if they don't have the game, I think anyone who plans to buy should download it just in case. It's not like you have to have the game to download DLC, unless it's on a 3DS.

 

[Thoraxes]

I hope the patch is today.

 

[Drencrom]

No info on that, but all this stuff will be available for free if you get it off the store in the first two weeks of release.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Huh? It already does that you can combo off any crumple hit. They don't float or anything still counts as a grounded combo.

Weird, some of the attacks I try on crumple won't connect even though it's just the initial animation.

And still, I'm mostly complaining on downed enemies still immune from damage. Spike's monkey net should hit a downed enemy.

Narutimate Hero... man I miss those games so much.
Might have to dig up my copy.. if I can still find it somewhere.

Really love 3 and Accel 1. Best two games of the series.

Much better than the PSP Narutimate Hero which then spawned the Ninja Storm games.

 

[#1 defender]

Played my first few online matches in the final game and just got into 5x overtime (AP multiplier stopped at 4 though), only to lose by a kill against a sneaky Sly in the end. >.<

I could've taken him if a Sackboy player didn't drop out of the game midway through. That left only me, Dante and Sly cloaking 90% of the time and hiding in the corners, hard to rack up kills with only one visible opponent. I have yet to win my first match, but it was fun at least.

 

[Takao]

Kat looks better in this game than Hot Shots Golf 6, but still she looks off, lol.

 

[ascii42]

Generally these things are handled by including everything in a patch, so the DLC just unlocks it. If the DLC winds up being 100k, we'll know that's how they did it.

Update on DLC and new stage http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012...s-battle-royale-hands-on-with-kat-and-emmett/

It’s been a couple of weeks since Seth let the Kat (and the Emmett!) out of the bag, so I thought I’d stop in and give you guys some insight into the philosophy behind putting these two great characters into PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.

The team and I attended an event at Santa Monica Studios last night where we gave media attendees the first hands-on look at our new DLC, including the unveil of a brand new level, so I wanted to give you all a sneak peek at some of their moves and show off our newest level, Fearless

 

[SmithnCo]

Someone needs to fight Evil Cole if they think the crumpling is too short.

 

[mauaus]

Is it just me or is it sometimes reaaally hard to find a game

Heys MarinoBrea, we’re exploring the possibly of adding 1v1 to Quick Match and maybe even for a season or two in Tournament Mode. No guarantees, but we’re heard you all loud and clear on this!

Nice, I'm glad they really are listening to people.

Entering a match as Toro to find that you will be fighting 3 Kratos players...in dojo...is rough

 

[KalBalboa]

I'm glad this match-up made the first batch of Kat screens.

In PlayStation All-Stars, Kat's fighting techniques stay true to her combat in Gravity Rush, focusing mainly on kicks. Kat's a heavy rushdown character, director Omar Kendall tells Polygon. Her suite of moves includes a dive kick that can be used to quickly cover distances, leading to up-close combos that can quickly trap foes in a deadly flurry of kicks and anti-gravity power moves.

Kat's gravity powers can draw in and damage foes in the form of a massive energy ball. She can also summon items from a stage (barrels, furniture) to encircle her avatar, then launch them at opponents.

In contrast to Kat, Starhawk's Emmett uses a series of long range attacks in battle. While Emmett can deliver close range punches and a ground pound launcher with limited reach, he's also armed with guns, grenades and mines. Emmett can summon supply drops during fights, calling down auto-firing turrets &#8212; a real nuisance &#8212; and a generator that emits AP (All-Star Power), the energy that fuels super meters.

Emmett can also request drops for different weapons, a reference to Starhawk's "Build-in-Battle" system. In addition to his standard rifle, he can call in drops that outfit him with a shotgun or missile launcher, each with limited ammo that can be refilled from the supply drop container. Those containers can cause damage to other players as they fall, making Emmett an annoying force to be reckoned with.

 

[Figboy79]

Lol. An actual, clear, Kat on Franzea screenshot. Lol.

EDIT: Also, I love the screen of Kat sliding underneath Radec's Sniper shot. Lol. Take that, Radec!!

 

[AnkiRendan]

Further refinement of characters that may be over- or under-powered, including popular characters like Kratos and Raiden, are also being reviewed

I have a feeling Raiden won't be able to help people with his sword in a few months XD I hope Jak, Toro and Sir Dan get buffs. Jak especially. Arcade mode with him was not fun.

 

[PowderedToast]

rushdown is my fav kinda character

kat looks so0o0o0 good

 

[TheMink]

Why werent they giving us this kind of freaking information, idk, the entire time we were waiting for the game??
If history means anything i thought we werent going to get jack info until day before release haha

Emmet with dem auto turrets, pretty bad ass.

I hope that kat gets the one and only air super, but im worried that it might just not work haha.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

I really hope the patch hits today. I'm itching to get the Scrafty Cup back underway.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

It's like a dream come true for me, Kat and rushdown.

 

[TheMink]

I hope that gravity ball works like dormammu :3

 

[DigitalOp]

Honestly, superbot probally has the best community response in gaming history. It's like they literally browse the gaf forums, take a step back, and tweak the game based on outcries

I'm really impressed with the overall response and support and I really wish more devs were like you guys and take the time and effort to make a better product

My 59.99 was well spent and you pretty much have a fan for life, thank you superbot

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

OH SHI!

These screens are awesome!

Heys Don_Knotts, we are actively looking into this issue and it is a high priority for us.

Kat and Emmett looks great in-game (Kat's portrait icon needs to be upgraded though)

 

[KalBalboa]

I'm a fan of doing a season of 1 v 1. Their tournament system seems like it allows for making a particular gametype the "flavor of the month."

 

[TimeEffect]

I'm a fan of doing a season of 1 v 1. Their tournament system seems like it allows for making a particular gametype the "flavor of the month."

That's what I thought too. Would be nice to see timed mode replaced with Stock for a month, as well as to see 7-10 point Kill Limit thrown in.

Timed is great and all, but not as exciting or varied to me as a good Stock match. Nothing beats a good comeback from a stock match

 

[Gadirok]

It would be nice if they included some form of a community system in game. I don't really know whos playing besides friends and through matchmaking.


Or maybe a server list or something? I don't know, I find matchmaking really straight forward and don't like to rely on forums for the talking part.

Vita's commentary system works fine. Something like that should be in the PS4 for PS3 BC games (hopefully).

 

[Figboy79]

Man, Kat's already shown up in 2 games, and she's barely a year old! She's on her way!

I'm having a grand time with this game, even if it is low on SP content (unlocks specifically).

EDIT: Also, in that PS Blog post, Omar confirms that Kat and Emmett are rivals. Which is awesome.

Hmm. While that's nice, it nixes any opportunity we had for another pair of characters to get announced as respective rivals. Ah well.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

I really hope there will be a ranked stock mode, since it's far easier to stay alive with Jak than to have many kills with him.

 

[Figboy79]

In that same post, he also confirms that there will be more character DLC for 2013. Being that all characters have a rival, we will get at least 2 more characters next year.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I really hope there will be a ranked stock mode, since it's far easier to stay alive with Jak than to have many kills with him.

Perhaps this is a problem I am having with the ranked FFA. Some characters and some people's play style benefit the stay alive tactic and pick apart the enemy, while others benefit from a short chaotic match with wild play style (Kratos and Raiden).

 

[Loudninja]

Omar confirmed more DLC is coming.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Omar confirmed more DLC is coming.

Was really hoping for another stage than just Fearless, but it looks like DLC will come in the form of 2 characters and 1 stage packs. I think the stages will be free through a patch and within that patch will also be the character data that you will have to purchase in the store to unlock. Really this is the best method outside of outright free.

Kat doesn't. Her model looks iffy as hell. Almost mannequin-like.

While I like the look of her gravity form, her normal form does look a bit derpy.

[Mr. Fix]

More character DLC? If they're only taking 1st party characters into consideration:

The last huge franchise for the PS3 (I think, right?). Despite the fact that they're done with the series, it'd be nice to have that Chimera Hybrid.
