Tribal tats Bandicoot only
Saying that they do need more evil characters. Problem is, I just can't think of a lot from Sony IP's, well at least from the games I've played anyway
Jak will probably be a little quicker than Ratchet. Otherwise, they are probably quite similar. I expect that the two will be rivals.

ratchet is much more diverse: wrench, whip, glide boots, etc

Also ratchets weapons are even more unique than Jak, and Jak will be better mellee than ratchet methinks

How odd is it that Sony actually sold Crash to Activision.
I still can't get over it.

No they wont be.
Drake,Radec, Sweet tooth and Jak and daxter all use guns yet they are very different.

Nah, not rally since it debuted on Genesis. I count it as a rep of whatever era the first entry was released in.
Doubt it. There hasn't been a "generic" character yet, and I don't think there will be, they just picked Radec cause I assume he was moderately popular as apposed to anybody else in the franchise. (Not sure if you can count Fat princess as a generic character or not though. She might be, I've never played the game)
Sony never owned Crash.
Powers are slightly different as well. The aforementioned Fire instead of Ice, and Grenades/Rockets having more spread and a few other things
It did? Master System was before Mega Drive. I was pretty young at the time, but i remember playing Sonic on it i think

They didn't. Sony never owned the Spyro and Crash rights, they just published the games for Universal who owned the rights. (I may be wrong on that).
You can't sell what you don't own. Crash and Spyro were always properties of Universal Interactive that through a series of events became Activision. I believe Sony were offered the chance to buy them, but decided against that. It seemed Insomniac were growing very tired of Spyro, and Sony probably thought Naughty Dog could repeat the success.

Sony never owned Crash to begin with. they just had an exclusive publishing deal with Universal

well, i meant appearance-wise. it'd just be a simple color change, and i'm hoping Sony uses actual outfits to differentiate instead of the typical palette swaps

I expect Ratchet & Clank to be more about close/mid-range combat, and his melee will actually probably be better than Jak's by virtue of swinging the wrench.*
*words merged together o_o
Totally brainstorming, but I think he'll be a floaty character with some moderate/high damage at close/mid-range. Probably one of the best starting characters, which would also make sense because he's one of the most popular characters.

How is it that I have never known this.
They never owned Crash. Universal owned Crash because even though Sony published the games, Universal funded them. Then Vivendi bought Universal, then Activision merged with Vivendi.
Uh hell yeah
it's a wrench. GAWD

Ratchet is going to be a mix of rob/samus most likely with marth type normals *lol*
He will have huge sweeping attacks, a rocket move, a grenade move, and a lazer move most likely
Oh and coles rival should be.... Lightning LOLOLOL

they were so tied to Sony with the PS1 it's a common misconception

Yeah, Master system version came out a couple months after Mega Drive/Genesis version.
A lot of people don't. From what I've seen the majority of people always believed Sony sold Crash and Spyro. To be honest I was the same until I knew better
Never knew that! To be fair I can't remember much at all from that version. Only carts on trains (I was 3 or 4). The Mega Drive/Genesis version was my first real experience, and where all the love/nostalgia is
Hahahaha

Actually I wouldnt be too shocked if Ratchets level 1 or 2 is the bouncer

I always knew because at the time I was looking forward to the next crash and spyro games.
Edit: I hope his level 1 or 2 is the bouncer. My favorite weapon. I hope all of his abilities are all different gadgets. Not even a wrench for melee, ok maybe a upgraded wrench.
Mr. Zarcon will be level 1 or 2 I hope. Though he may be too similar to Kuma

In addition to Ratchet I'm very excited to see how Sack Boy plays. I'm not feeling the whole Kirby thing myself. And even if he does have that ability, characters in this game have a ton of moves so I'm looking forward to seeing how the little Sack thing dukes it out with all these other characters that look like killers
Yeah that's seeming less and less likely, I think it will have to do with some sort of level creation thing.
Idk how but somehow
Boss Man

Sackboy really should have some kind of mimicking ability, it's just too obvious not to do.
I hope one of his Supers involves the Create aspect of LBP. It would be cool to see him pull up the pop-it, grab the entire level with his cursor, and rotate it upside down killing everyone while he floats above safely.

Secret Agent Clank needs to be in there somewhere. Yes.
Yeah Level 3s are here. Music sucks but you can just mute it. Not sure about the other ones.
See but sackboy doesnt actually mimick anybody, he just dresses up as them.
My guess is something like all of the DLC you own for LBP costume wise will actually work with sackboy in PSBR.
Thoughts?
Sony realistically should've bought Crash. Spyro? Ehh. But Crash was used as a mascot worldwide and was a huge hit. The Bandicoot had 2 highly successful spinoffs and probably could've become Sony's Mario had they continued onwards. Instead Crash became a cheap whore tossed around a variety of studios who were under funded and told to get a game out ASAP.

Yeah you're right that he doesn't really mimic anyone...sort of. There's some stuff going on in LBP2 that might argue against that.
As far as carrying over costumes, I doubt it. They'd probably have to re-make all of that stuff from the ground-up because BR is on a different engine.
Maybe Sackboy has 20+ alternate costumes; his normal plain brown one and then one dressed like each other character in the game. Regardless, they just have to address his alter ego persona somehow. That's like his whole identity.

Oh my gawd. Lmfao if people actually believe this will happen. If LBP Karting doesn't have it why would a MASHUP game have it?
Sometimes I wish I could live in some of your fantasy worlds. shit must be nice.
Thanks. I'll watch it later.
Is there a list anywhere though? Just to have I guess
Some of the people mentioning Goku got me thinking. Due to the relation they have at Sony Japan, is there any chance that this guy makes it into the game?
To clarify, I'll say that I do not want Ichigo in this game. Just wondering if it's a possibility
The game has to be at TGS. They'd be stupid not to showcase it there.
Besides, where else would they announce Cloud
I hope he looks like that if he is in the game *swoons*
Oh really haha nix that then
But I think his whole thing is he will be able to (quickly) build a truckload of stuff to use as weapons or whatever.
And I don't doubt he will be able to use his power gloves and paint gun and other stuff like It

I'll make you a list right now. I think I know them all, one moment please.
Oh excellent, thanks
did they confirm that the lbp characters from lbp1/2 wouldn't carry over to lbpk? i know that it isn't in the beta, but i figured it could still be in the final release.

Actually look what I found! The IGN wiki has them. Coolio
Jak for example http://www.ign.com/wikis/playstation-all-stars-battle-royale/Jak_and_Daxter
If there are any questions about specific supers though I think I've seen enough that I could answer them
I'm playing crash 3 right now and OMG if crash is not in this game I'm gonna be disappointed more then ever. Crash was such a huge part of PlayStation for me. I had all the games and I had many of the toys and just playing this is bringing back memories of my child hood. Activision better let him in!
Thank you for saying pretty much what was on my mind.
I'm actually sort of worried about Sackboy, I just have this bad feeling in my gut for some reason that he won't show up.
Just a feeling, though.
