..This game could use some Valkyria Chronicles.

I'm glad to see that so many of you are still as excited as ever for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. From when I first revealed the game 6 months ago in October, it's definitely been talked about quite a bit and I think it's great that after all this time, the hype is just as intense.
Here's to E3 2012 where you're going to see a lot more. Trust me, including 3rd party characters!

That interview is fantastic as well. I love the comment about them basically building the whole team around this game.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
They added the rpg from Uncharted? That thing was a one-hit-kill lol.
I'm curious as to who these high level fighting games players are exactly. I heard Ed Ma is working on the game, but the person being interviewed implied there were more than a few who were working on the game.

lol at Kratos punching the screen when he loses.
He also talks about online MP at the end.
ok. Your post yes? you quite succinctly said earlier that you had no idea how the game could be taken seriously on a competitive level. sounds like a dismissal to me. You also said its designed so that supers are mandatory (a game still 6months away), but isn't there a custom games mode in which theoretically, the mechanics could be changed in such a way as to allow health? Im just saying.

I quite often updated SuperBot, Sony, and more with the article on my site that allowed gamers to submit their questions, comments, suggestions, etc. to them and they've been listening. Though I can't confirm any 3rd party character yet, at least I confirm that they'll be present. Before I knew they were considering it, but it wasn't a guarantee. Now I know it's coming. Less than 39 days!

Add in Cool Boarders. Big part of my original PlayStation memories.
Thanks again for breaking the news!
Do you know the number of characters in the game, and if so are you at all able to tell or give ranges? More than 20?

I'm guessing we'll get Altair from Assassin's Creed, Solid Snake, and maybe something from Square (though I'm not as hopeful)
Thanks for the news bits. You were spot on with your articles. How much progress has the game made now from when you first reported on it?

Dunno. All I really care about is Crash and Spyro.

More than 10 is my guess.

It should have 5 (Crash, Lara, Spyro, Cloud and Snake) at a minimum.

You can conveniently ignore my statements after that paragraph if you want. Makes no difference to me man *shrugs*

Yep. A PixelJunk stage would be amazing too.

around 5. probably less.
I see a bunch of third party DLC though. Maybe even as pre order bonuses.
My guess would be 2-6, no more than that. They don't want this to be "3rd party all stars featuring Sony characters." It needs to feel like the 3rd party characters are small enough in number to feel like guest appearances rather than the main attraction.

But the president of Superbot even acknowledges that third party games are a big part of the history of PS. So if this really is a tribute to PS, then it isn't something that can or should be ignored. It's unlikely that PS3 would even exist without Sony's relationships with third party devs.
I want Lara Croft, Solid Snake, and a Final Fantasy protagonist (or antagonist) as my top 3. Everything else is gravy. There are a lot of good characters and tough choices to be made though for their roster!

So if I understand this:
-attacking builds up your own meter
-extra powerful attacks can knock full bars out of players, which can then be picked up by other players
-bars give you super attacks, which straight up murder other characters
-there's no killing by knocking players off the stage, making this surprisingly different from smash bros
Is that all? Anything I missed?

I imagine it will have Cyborg Raiden rather than Snake. Radec already plays like Smash Snake for one, and to generate publicity for Rising.
I am ok with costume DLC.
Eh, it's "Playstation" allstars. That's encompassing of 3rd parties too. I wouldn't mind if the roster was 50/50. Just whatever character makes a great addition and is quintessential playstation.

I could see that happening. There needs to be at least one MG character in there.
Duuude, I said Sony would combine with Nintendo. Not Apple. I said Nintendo and Sony will team up to defeat Apple.
Oh yes, it will be bodacious.
Yeah, I'm fine with stuff like that, because I just won't buy it, but if they have actual playable characters and stages as pre-order bonuses and shit I'll be pissed.
That's pretty much the gist of it so far.
50/50 seems way too much. I don't want them just throwing in any 3rd party character who's ever made an appearance on a Playstation. For a 3rd party to be in, I want them to have to have been exclusive to Playstation at one point, and to have been vital in building Playstation's popularity or identity.
Snake, Cloud, Lara Croft, Crash, and Spyro are the only ones that I think should definitely be in. I'd also be open to Dante from DMC and some more obscure characters like Selvaria from VC. But if we get to the point where characters like Ezio, James Bond (lol), CoD soldier, or whatever are put in, I'll be a little disappointed.
I think Resident Evil and Tekken were just as vital to the PlayStation brand in the '90s as all of those. I wouldn't mind seeing Leon and Jin.
A Jet Moto level would be awesome. I loved that game. And no way Sora gets in it. Disney won't allow it.
A single tear just ran down the side of my cheek. I would sell my firstborn child for a Nintendo vs. Playstation Smash Bros game.

Ugh, fuck shit like CoD soldier and James Bond. *officenooo.gif*
No. Hell no. Dante, Spyro, Lara, Snake, etc -- all good. Other first-party greats like Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Nathan Drake, Sackboy, Sly Cooper, etc -- most definitely. But anything licensed from outside videogames (like Bond) or generic (dudebro soldier)? Hellz naw.
I'm surprisingly interested in this game, despite my first impression of it being charmless greys bashing soulless browns. Seeing it in motion definitely ramped up the appeal, showing the game has a bit of personality to spare. Not Smash Bros. levels of magic, but something special all is own. The fact the stages themselves are crossovers is neat.

I prefer Sony hardware with Nintendo software so it would be better for Nintendo to drop out in my opinion. Join forces with Sony and help on R&D and software.
I've always been confused about this. Does Disney own the character of Sora or is it SE? Is it both? Why wouldn't Disney allow it though? There's no blood in the game and wouldn't they get payed for using Sora? or are they just that greedy?
I think it could be far more absurd then Smash Bros. seeing Parappa beating the shit out of Kratos and vise versa is surreal.
Well... I didn't say they should just throw any character in there! But certainly, there are 3rd party characters that are more representative of Playstation than say, Fat Princess..
Yeah, I kinda forgot about Resident Evil. I wouldn't mind a rep from that game. Tekken I'm pretty meh on, but I wouldn't bitch about its inclusion.
lol, no disagreement on that. I guess Fat Princess was just in to increase female count and to rep PSN games. Still, I would prefer Sony first party characters to maintain a health majority of the roster spots.

Slys move set sounds like something you'd expect from Snake... Maybe we won't see him
