Lara is about as bad of a choice as Bond is. Both are terrible choices.

Lara at least is female and has PlayStation history

What does Bond have?

uh...tomb raider was integral to the psone's success

Lara shouldn't be added just to get more females in the game. There are plenty more females that would work much better.

It doesn't even matter she won't be in the game.

 

[SSReborn]

"CrystalD" = square? they may own the company, but this says nothing of other characters.

besides, there's no chance in hell it'd be the old lara

I believe he is the Global Brand Director for the Tomb Raider he was on an episode of the Playstation Blogcast recently. He would definitely have a say in where the character would end up.

oh, i wasn't doubting his say in lara's inclusion. i was pointing out this doesn't mean anything for square characters as a whole

 

[LuuKyK]

Well, they could include the new Lara. She would be able to use her dual pistols, the tomahawk and her bow too. Would be pretty nice for combos with these weapons. Bond, on the other hand...

How exactly is she a bad choice? At one point she was so linked to the brand that Sony included her in one of their commercials

http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=4168

The other two characters with her? Crash and Sweet Tooth.

she'd be a boring fighter, sure, but she's tied to the PS brand. comparing her to bond is outrageous

 

[Paul Gale]

Well Paul certainly doesn't make it too easy, lol.

I guess I need to provide a little help. In th last link I shared, the bullet hint reference lies in the photo of the letter from First Lady Michelle Obama and me.

What's obvious to me is all that is in all 4, original pics (but then again I designed them in such a way). I'll tell ya this much, amongst the guesses thus far across my site, this place, and elsewhere, part of the puzzle has indeed been solved. So good job to some of you.

Just tell us that Bond isn't in so we can rest easy.

please kind sir.. listen to this man

i'd rather have someone else if it's the new lara...too many normal people as it is, and she would be lacking the benefit of PS roots

Superbot: Just because the game is called "PlayStation® All-Stars Battle Royale", does not mean that characters who have never been on a PlayStation® console, let alone a videogame, are not welcome. We strive to create a diverse roster and James Bond® can offer a lot of variety and value to the consumer. Just think of all the brands that we can commercially exploit utilize to offer an optimal gameplay experience that no other company can offer: Martini©, Aston Martin®, Ford®, Alfa Romeo® and the list goes on. With our new "Make Believe® Rootkit System©" (most people don't even know what a rootkit is), we can see how often James Bond® is used in the game. If he is not popular enough, we at Superbot can use our flexible update system to convince the end user to try out James Bond®. In-game ads (that were well received in WipeOut® HD) will play a big part to increase the popularity of James Bond®. If he is not chosen enough by the end of our fiscal year, we're afraid we have to lock all of the other 21 character slots so that the consumer won't have a choice but to pick him. Thank you for your understanding.

Angry fan: Bullshit, I bet you guys will lock our most wanted characters behind a DLC pay-wall, too.

Superbot: It's best to not think about the delivery method.

 

[Drago]

please kind sir.. listen to this man

Oh hey you just became a member, congrats

And please Paul, just tell us Bond isn't in. :|

 

[Zabuza]

Just tell us that it's Big Boss and Crash so we can be happy people.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I could see the argument for Big Daddy, I can definitely see the argument for Heihachi but James Bond I really cant at all. He doesn't even really make for an interesting character with all the current weapon users. Not only that but if your gonna get a spy character use this guy.

I rather have Logan over Bond any day. Any fucking day.

We have too many characters with guns. Too many!

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

Does it have to do with the Boy Scouts?

 

[Takao]

Angry fan: Why will James Bond be in the game? He's barely associated with PlayStation!

Superbot: James Bond® will be cool. He'll enter the fight while purchasing Sony® products on his Vaio© laptop, calling with a Sony© Ericcson© phone, with a Vita® chained to his suit because that shit doesn't fit in any pocket while listening to Sony© produced music on his Sony©® mp3 player. We at Superbot entertainment totally believe that he will be a great addition to a roster and ask you to be openminded about third party characters. We are aware that there are so many cool first party characters, but you have to understand that none of them are James Bond®.

Sony Ericsson doesn't exist anymore FYI It's Sony Mobile Communications or some shit

Can anyone post the pic in question? I can't access the site.

Yup and it's Superbot Entertainment® oh and wth james bond has been in quite a few games corporate cheerleader

 

[Zabuza]

American flag? Letter? CRASH CONFIRMED!

 

[Ryce]

I suspect the American flag has something to do with the bullets hint.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

Maybe we must go to the word counting from how many bullets there are.

Superbot: Our information database, much like the graphics in "PlayStation® All-Stars Battle Royale", seems to be outdated. My sincere apologies, I hope this unfortunate error did not cause you to cancel your pre-order and miss out on exclusive alternate costumes that cannot be found anywhere else.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

I've never been good at games like this. In the picture mentioned by Paul Gale, there is an American flag in the background. I haven't gone through the trouble of counting all of the bullets in the hint pictures, but I counted thirteen on the left of the small gun and fifty on the right.

Could it be a reference to the thirteen original colonies and fifty states? I think someone already mentioned that the bullets' shape as a whole resembles the United States.

It's very likely that I'm grossly over-thinking.

Those costumes can be unlocked,i think

Thanks man, haha I actually upgraded a couple pages back

Something that is becoming a re-occuring theme is America now I dont know why or what that means but it is something I'm noticing. Wasn't the fourth bullet pile shaped like America as well?

Conner from ACIII confirmed lol.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Was about to post this. I don't know a lot about guns, and history though. So how old is that rifle in the pic?

 

[Zabuza]

Watch it be Connor from Assassin's Creed 3. Calling it now.

 

[corporate cheerleader]

....Duke Nukem?

Duke Nukem in a T game? Nah.

 

[SmithnCo]

This actually... makes a lot of sense.

I too am wondering about the rifle.

 

[Ryce]

I don't think the ages of the guns really matter considering Paul already owned them. It's not like he's going to go out and buy eighteenth century weaponry just for a character hint.

 

[test_account]

Duke Nukem in a T game? Nah.

 

[SSReborn]

This actually... makes a lot of sense.

It looks exactly like the ones in the gameplay demo

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

It makes a lot of sense.

Unless.... Maybe... Its Paul Gale himself? Paul Gale confirmed?

 

[Napalm_Frank]

So could the total number of bullets be a hint towards a year that revolutinary war was fought?

 

[Ryce]

Holy shit, I just realized something. The "La Li Lu Le Lo" hidden in the bullets has nothing to do with Snake -- it's the codename for the Patriots. Assassin's Creed III takes place during the American Revolution and features such "patriots" as Paul Revere and Samuel Adams.

 

[Zabuza]

We were wrong all along. It makes sense because they've been showing AC3 at Comic-Con too.

 

[LuuKyK]

The Connor hint makes sense now with the 13/50 relation.

Also, is it me or in the back of that photo you can see Ratchet face? Maybe I'm just going crazy? :lol

 

[GeoramA]

Connor? zzzzzz

Duke would be a lot more interesting.

[TheBioLover]

Oh God, I think you guys may have guessed a character. If it's true that's pretty cool, I don't mind that it's not Ezio.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Yes, Please!

Connor would be great.
