Revealed in intro apparently

Stretching back from my roots as a tournament player to my current gig as lead game designer for Sony’s Santa Monica Studio, I’ve spent over two decades in fighting games, and have been thrilled to revisit so many great memories from my own PlayStation history with the characters and stages of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.

I’m here today on behalf of SuperBot Entertainment, Bluepoint Games, and Santa Monica Studio to announce that PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has gone gold on PS3 and PS Vita! All of us are extremely grateful for the help from our beta players in testing our networking, and thrilled to see the amazing response from all of you that played the beta, which is just a small slice of the full game.

In celebration of this milestone, we wanted to share something special as a small “thank you!” to all the amazing PlayStation fans who have helped us come so far. Today we’re officially unveiling the opening cinematic sequence to the game. We’ve been pretty tight-lipped about our final boss, but if you hang in until the end you’ll get a glimpse of the villainous mastermind that’s returned from the depths of PlayStation history to pull the strings in All-Stars.

Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and if your interest is piqued, remember to pre-order All-Stars today! Pre-ordering scores you an exclusive costume for every character in the game, and with Cross-Buy, every PS3 copy comes with a download code for the PS Vita version at the low, low cost of zero!

Thanks again to PlayStation fans around the world for your incredible support, and come November 20th, I’ll see you online — just look for the unbeatable Drake player at the top of the leaderboards.

[SuperSonic1305]

Damn that is a great trailer

 

[Sn4ke_911]

That was pretty sweet.

 

[kewlmyc]

Video won't load on my phone, who is it?

 

[ReyVGM]

Is it Master Bates?

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Intro looks great but the action could be lil faster tho. Really like it otherwise.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Master Face?

 

[Metalmurphy]

Ok, that intro is pretty awesome.

 

[Twinduct]

Is that ... polygon?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Polygon man?

 

[JehutyRunner]

So that Heavenly Sword/DMC bit, huh.

Andross?

 

[Übermatik]

Is it Master Hand?

Damn, ahaha. *edit looks like Andross...

 

[bigkrev]

It's Polygon Man!

 

[Wario64]

Personally I find the intro lazy. No environments? What are they fighting in, the XMB?

 

[baekshi]

is that the polygon

 

[Lagunamov]

Sheron?

 

[V_Ben]

Polygon man!

 

[XcL_]

Shiny

 

[Kai Dracon]

POLYGON MAN

His time come round at last.

Patiently he has waited.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

The action in the video is as slow as the action in the game.

I have no idea if I'm the only one who thought so, but it was one of my biggest problems with the demo beta.

 

[Spiegel]

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

My first reaction was polygon man.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Yep that's totally him.

 

[Drencrom]

Fuck yes, Polygon Man

 

[KillerTravis]

Damn that's Andross! Some type of crossover with Nintendo??

Edit: Naah

 

[Deft Beck]

Ooh, that's a nice throwback! Wonder what he'll do, aside from floating around.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Personally I find the intro lazy. No environments? What are they fighting in, the XMB?

The PS3 waves don't give it away?

 

[JazzmanZ]

Well thats good they're using HIM.

think the Microsoft all stars will use giant feet for the final boss?

 

[Revolutionary]

Polygon Head. Called it.

 

[5amshift]

Yeah, no clue why they dug through and picked that thing for a boss but it is an amazing opening for sure.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Awesome trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxTYkuSIjk4

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

Great intro.

[cjkeats]

The XMB would be a great level.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Ooh, that's a nice throwback! Wonder what he'll do, aside from floating around.

Lasers from the eyes is a given.

 

[Schobeleth]

YES!! FINALLY HE WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE

 

[LuuKyK]

Well, thats a much better trailer.

Oh its the game intro? I like it.

 

[dallow_bg]

Ok, that's an awesome throwback.

 

[Drago]

So it's Polygon Man?

Nice.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

fun trailer.

Have they said if more characters will show up as DLC?

No Final Fantasy character is a bummer.

 

[BadWolf]

Wow, very cool trailer/intro.

 

[TheBioLover]

The song used in the trailer is pretty badass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0h2u87JwyA&list=FLd8EQz6ZQp4GYdFb2yuRyjA&index=7&feature=plpp_video

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I call it: Polygon Man has brought all the characters together to have them annihilate each other so he can return to his rightful position as the PS mascot.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Was a given tho since Seth Killian has been goofing around with Polygon Man shirt lately :lol.

 

[Tagg9]

That is an awesome CG intro.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Great trailer.

 

[Dead Prince]

i'd rather a glove.

 

[Takao]

Makes sense, Polygon Man was a marketing mascot and this game is a marketing based mascot fighter.
