But that's the beauty of this game. Trying to put a fighting style for... nonfighters.
Its like sackboy. All it takes is some creativity to making them work in this game.

Crash would be really cool but to be honest I was sold on this game with the initial 6 character roster so I don't have the mentality that I'm not buying if character X doesn't show up. Spyro is kinda meh for me even tho I did enjoy the first 2 games, same with Lara but Crash is the biggest old PS icon outta them and I think would be most fun to play as. I can't imagine how Lara would be diffirent from Drake. I'm more worried about Capcom characters since DMC/RE character would be really cool.

I believe this needs to be posted-
"Although it may come as a blow to most gamers' perception of Crash, Universal has always owned the rights to Crash Bandicoot, not Sony (which published the games). Universal is now exploiting Crash for all he's worth on multiple systems."
The same is true for Spyro. And Activision is currently a subsidiary of Universal. Go figure.

Ico can blind everyone with bright light! Solar flare and cover the entire screen so no one can see!
So Crash is worth like $5 now is what you're saying.

I totally disagree, let Smash Bros. just dip their toes in lightly. This game needs to be the ULTIMATE mash up of franchises that have ever appeared on Playstation. Not just Sony characters, Sony need to give a lot of priority to third party characters too. Even ones that the hardcore don't see as a big tie to Playstation.
Give me Snake vs. Altier vs. Batman vs. Riddick. What other game is going to offer such a thing? Let it be All Stars
Universal is exploiting Crash for all he's worth?
:lol WHAT
Edit: oh, old article. Ignore me

That article I posted is like 10 years old, but it has relevant information to clear out some common misinformation.

How can they buy back something when they never owned it to begin with?
Sweet tooth, Parappa and Toro are some awesome additions to the game, but I was really hinging this all on the original mascots of PSX era I grew up with.
Sony may have a lot more and better properties now than they did then, but it would really be stupid on Superbots and Activisions part not to include either of these gaming mascots.
I'll see if anything does make me want to get this game but I don't think no amount of Spikes and Sir Francis's are going to drag me to it like Crash and Spyro do.
edit: also for what it's worth, I am a huge Playstation fan, I grew up knowing much more about gaming with the PSX and PS2 than I ever did with the NES, SNES or N64, It wouldn't be until I got the gamecube in 2004 when I started to follow Nintendo.
Why? Current Naughty Dog would make him a realistic bandicoot fighting against big corporations with elaborate scripted sequences.

That Sony never owned Crash Bandicoot has no bearing on the reality that Crash Bandicoot was a major PlayStation icon.
If this is in reply to my comment - I was being somewhat sarcastic.
Its like having Banjo, Conker, perfect dark girl, and jet force gemini character as the determining factor to buy Super Smash Bros 4.
I still want Crash though.
Don't forget the wumpa fruit bazooka multiplayer they'd add.
Kidding aside, I think if given the chance they'd appropriately pay homage to the original titles. It would be a pure platformer with clean graphics.

Please god no. Most of those would be wasted slots, keep it a family affair, don't invite cousin pookie and thrice removed uncle Jim. Only 1-2 3rd party characters should be in this.
I must be the only one who didn't really care about Crash and Spyro in the PS1 era. Of course I have nothing against the characters and they would make neat additions but on PS1 I much preferred Klonoa and Ape Escape which remains my favourite PlayStation franchise, that's why Spike or Spector needs to be part of the game.

Meh, I don't think Altair is particularly popular. Ezio, sure.
Meanwhile, if they waste a slot on Riddick of all characters...???? No buy.
There are more Klonoa games on Nintendo platforms than Sony ones, lol.
I know but as platformers go I like the original Klonoa and Ape Escape more than Crash and Spyro, those games just didn't click with me.
I'm not sure I'd trust that stuff. An Ape Escape fansite said the first game sold 30 million copies which I find very difficult to believe.
Wouldn't that make it one of the top 3 best selling games of all time? lol
Im honestly going to say that if this game was a fighting game with no all stars that it would seriously be an excellent party fighter with excellent game mechanics. People who have played it attest to this. (just ask Figboy)
It wouldnt sell anything without the characters obviously, but it would still be good.
I would want Crash in just so this game will sell more, but i unfortunately dont think its going to happen.
Hopefully there is a demo on the PS store when this comes out and you can see that it will be loads of fun!
The revealed roster so far has already sold me on the game, but listening to that 21 minute interview with Omar just now has me feeling pretty optimistic about the potential for DLC character inclusions.
Some of his statements in that interview also has me rethinking that 24 character roster. I'm beginning to suspect the roster may surprise us by being a bit larger than that. Anywhere between 24-28 is my current estimates.
I'm really excited about seeing who they announce at Gamescom. That should be good.
Personally, I'm not expecting Lara Croft, Cloud or Lightning, or Crash or Spyro. It just seems like there's too much BS with the IP holders for those guys to make it in, although Sony has been really, really chummy with Disney lately, so it's possible that we could get Sora from their end, and maybe the fact that Sony has owns some Square-Enix stock may land us an FF character. I love Lightning, and don't have much of a love for Cloud (despite loving every moment of FFVII when I bought it for my PS1, but as a character, I wanted to punch him in his douchey face; still hate Squall more, though), so I can see them getting her. I'd rather have Tifa over both. She was fucking awesome in Dissidia 012, and a close range melee fighter like her would be so welcome.
I AM expecting one of the Snakes (Solid or Big Boss, really), and an Assassin (ie, Ezio, Aveline, or Connor). I can even realistically seeing EA trying to throw Issac Clarke in there, since EA never particularly strikes me as being adverse to any deals that can make them money.
I'm thinking Kat will be DLC, as well characters like Spike/Specter or Jen Tate. Omar's unprompted enthusiasm for Gravity Rush has me optimistic of her eventual inclusion.
I can see Sir Dan, and Nariko being character reveals in the next few weeks. I really think they are going to end up in the game. I'd love it if Alundra was a Gamescom reveal.
I don't know about Capcom yet. I certainly haven't heard anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if we try and get Dante and an RE character like Chris, Jill, or Claire in there after release and we can see the sales potential of the title.
I would love to see Amaterasu and Viewtiful Joe as DLC, honestly. I think they could be wickedly awesome additions to the roster.
The roster game Superbot is playing now has had me more involved than, I think, any lead up to release hype of any game this generation. I'm not big into fighters, but I LOVE Smash Bros.
I'm really hoping they'll be able to get a beta or demo out there by September, because I know that once a lot of you guys get your hands on it, you'll be sold, even if your favorite character isn't included in the release roster. It's just a good time.
If the netcode is as good as some of the best games on PS3, then I think it's online potential will really grow it's community as well.
I'm eager to see some really skilled players have a go with the characters, though.

This game is actually starting too look better and better!
I would love to see Crash and Spyro... I still think the game needs at least one to live up to the name "Playstation All Star"
BUT...
If it isn't possible... I will be content with 1 Ape Escape rep as a trade-off
Question, Why is Wanderer confirmed now? The video is down, don't understand whats going on

Those numbers just seem... wrong. But I can't be bothered downloading the MC/Famitsu database file right now.

With those kind of numbers, you would think Sony would have made an Ape Escape for the Vita by now.

I am drooling at the thought
Oh those numbers are definitely bullshit. 80 million cellphone downloads? Come on. They're from this. They tried to justify their ludicrous numbers:
There guys also said Ape Escape 4 was in development for PS3 like 2 years ago. They also talked about PC games (lol) and a new PSP game that also never materialized.
not that i'm believing their numbers, but couldn't ape escape 4 have turned into playstation move ape escape?
They explicitly stated that they were different games, and that AE4 was a traditional platformer.

I feel like a demo would actually really help this game. Outside of my oh so selfish reasons for wanting one haha, I feel like people really like/start to understand this game when they have it in their hands. Might help with the press and all the smash hate stuff
