Yeah let's request mods for an extension. Makes no sense to start a new thread. If that doesn't work we should just use the trailer thread

oh and I'm thinking I will go digital with this one. Especially since I hate that boxart

It's pretty funny it's come to this.

What are the rules on official threads going up early? Can I assume the rule is "don't do it?"

Yes! All-Stars will be available as day-1 digital on PS3. You will get the costume pre-order bonus AND the complimentary Vita version whether you buy a physical disc or the digital version of All-Stars on PS3.

Don't post your official thread more than seven days prior to its game's release (excepting multiplayer-centric games with large-scale long-term open betas, like Dota 2, which are addressed individually). |OT|s are not for news, so they have no reason to exist while we're still in the news cycle.

So, 13th is the earliest for OT. I think the trailer thread will be fine until the OT is done.

K, ill add that to the OT then.

Has superbot ever said anything about having a replay mode at all?

Yes, they said that they are looking into it but as of right now it cant be done.

EDIT: as most fighters use a system that basically copies inputs and replays them for you, but that doesn't work for all stars because apparently the same outcome will not happen twice with just the inputs being captured because of the nature of the engine.

What the hell is coming over me??...

I NEVER buy digital... So why am I contemplating getting the digital release??

I know this game is gonna live on my playstation so I guess its the convenience Im keeping in mind...

Trying.... to fight.... urge...
 
So great to hear that DLC characters will include a story, challenge, etc.

This ought to make pricing more fair:

-Base character is completely free (at least First Party)
-Story, challenges, etc. should be charged in bundles

Basically, sell at two-four characters for free, unless you want the story and challenge and extra costumes/all other unlocks for an easy $10

E.g:

DLC 1:

Crash Free
Spyro Free
Kat Free
Ryu Free

But get all that together with all the goodies for like $10, $6.99 for Plus

Seems fair, no?

I love how hard SB is trying to get Crash for free, but really, if Activision wont budge, I truly would not mind paying for it if it is sensibly priced or bundled. There's only so much they can do, and I would rather have Crash as DLC then have to wait for a future iteration.

Who would pay for the story/challenges? It'd make more sense to charge for the characters.
 
Im not sure ill have it ready by the 13th, are we sure this thread wont suffice until its totally done?

I would, if it means not having the online community broken up. I dont think SB wants to do that either, which is why all characters are unlocked from the start

You mean like how maps separate the community into different pools? I'm pretty sure that would only occur for stages.

Many people will probably just want to play online after the first few months, which would probably mean many wouldn't bother paying for the challenges and whatnot, unless they have trophies, then you may get some trophy hunters.

Besides Crash, I'm content with paying if it's a fair price, it's pretty much inevitable that they will be paid.

As long as they issue patches with characters the online should be fine, unlike what happened with MK which was a clusterfuck.

Go digital and get the disc version later when it's like 5$ if you still want it. That's what I'd do.

Hope to hear about the DLC characters soon. Why not Amaterasu to promote Okami HD on PSN now? Still want a Final Fantasy character though.
 
well yeah

Share! Share!

Just over a week to go. I can't believe that this game is actually making me like Dino!

Guys name is CepTrex

Save your money. This. Shit. isn't. worth it.

Played it and it was BAD. Hopefully the critics will put this abomination in its place. Can't trust gamers now; enablers who have made devs ruin a lot of long standing franchises and characters.
Act like a fanboy get thumbs up!

The fuck are you talking about? This dipshit Donte plays nothing like classic Dante or has his awesome weapons like Alastor and Ifrit.

Not troll. Just a genuine and concerned PlayStation gamer who enjoyed the system since since 1998. Trying to help the brain-dead such as your self to develop thinking skills and avoid games like this sullying the good name of the characters.
Yeah and I hope there are not enough of you enablers who ruin gaming for everyone. Fuck man, feels like Attack of the body snatchers and I'm the only human left trying to help.

Lol there are more its here

...Yep, that's CepPy alright. I guess the confines of Tartarus could not contain his irrational hate for this game.

By the way, The Thing is both a better example and a better film.
 
It's really starting to feel like release is right around the corner (probably because it is) Gotta hand it to Seth and Clock for upping the hype for this game. That long feed last night was awesome, and the trailer released today was mind blowing.
I'm hoping that trailer gets some more play so more people can see it. A demo along with preordering with Day 1 Digital should get some more customers
 
Love the confirmation that DLC will have everything launch characters have.
Because in theory that means DLC Characters will be released in pairs, (woo 2 at once) but also the content for this game is really gonna keep on giving and be awesome. There should be a pretty decent amount of single player content for a fighter

So there will not be any unlockable characters? Only dlc which will be later and you have to pay for them? The point of a game like this is to get to unlock hidden characters. Like mortal kombat there was always new characters to unlock per game.

Nah yeah they revealed awhile ago all characters on disc will be unlocked from the start.
I don't think the point of the whole game is to unlock characters though...Do you stop playing games after you unlock all the characters?
As silly as it sounds the point is to have fun. Plus for tourney purposes and things like that people want to have all the characters initially.
