PlayStation All Stars: Battle Royale out this holiday

“Opponents not defeated by Ring outs and instead defeated by Super Moves which are charged by attacks,
A level that gets built as you play on it, promptly followed by a section where you have to answer questions while fighting or you’ll be clocked by the level.”

those are some serious game changing components that they added in the game seriously those components make it more bloody roar then ssb im such an idiot im so sorry please forgive me.

@51: You never said they had to be game changing. Just that they had to be different to how SSB does things.
Seriously, grow up and try to argue in a mature way, instead of stamping your feet and frowning petulantly.

@52 because the stuff you pointed out doesnt change the fact that the game is exactly like ssb, and even the little minor stuff that you pointed out, you can change the settings in ssb to make the game feel like this pile of poopy so your comment is invalid

@orbit

Yeah it was a awesome moment

@LOLShock94

Here’s a couple of ways it’s different: It’s got different characters and it’s on a different system.

Problem?

JM

@53: And the original Call of Duty was just like Medal of Honor, EAs UFC game is just like THQs, BlazBlue is just like StreetFighter, Soul Calibur is just like Battle Arena Toshinden, Full Auto is just like Twisted Metal, Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi is just like a steaming pile of dog shit.
Wherever you look ther are games cribbing on other games’ style, does it matter? Not at all. Every company is entitled to produce their own version of something (as I said in a previous post where I mentioned Hudsonsoft, Cartoon Network and TMNT super Smash Bros clones, which you just happened to ignore).

So, come on, be a big boy and say something that actually makes sense, instead of just going ‘Boooo, Sony ripping SSB. Shitty Sony. Booooo!’. It’s not very becoming.

Incoming link to a flash animation and a bunch of awful memes.

I loved Super Smash Brothers as a kid, and loved Super Smash Brothers Melee even more, and I have no problem with Playstation All Stars Battle Royale reminding me of those days, playing Super Smash Brothers with either my friends or my siblings. Because what I saw last night was a fighting game that actually looks like a lot of fun to play, and nothing but the highest amount of promise to it. Though to be more specific, what I saw when this was on GameTrailers earlier this morning, was a very interesting fighting game that blends the zoomed out camera style, levels that can play a combat role, and weapons of SSB and SSBM (with the weapons having a Playstation twist), with the supers and ultra combos of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and even some of the close quarters combat style of the Tekken characters from Street Fighter X Tekken. Here’s my questions to anyone, HOW IS THIS BAD, AND HOW IS IT BAD THAT A FIGHTING GAME THAT’S MEANT TO BE FUN COPIES SUPER SMASH BROTHERS!? “Oh boo fuckin hoo, they ripped off Nintendo, they should be sued”. Here’s a slap of reality for everyone out there, it’s as a wise man once said “No Idea’s Original, there’s nothin new under the sun, it’s never been what it’s been, but how it’s done”.
I look forward to hearing more about this, and can’t wait to see who else is making the roster for PSAS: Battle Royale.

Where’s Nathan Drake, Sully, Crash Bandicoot, Sackboy, and the little Journey ghost/dude?

@55 mw3 different character skins, different guns and different consoles.

umadbro?

#59 if little big planet kart racing game is anything to go by, the are waiting for the little big planet all stars battle royale, i guess .

People, sometimes rip-offs are a good thing for the consumer. I don’t understand the arguing here. I’m still wishing someone would rip off the 3D Zelda model using the Move controller on PS3 in a killer app kinda way. (note i’m also a fan of 3D Dot Game Heroes, but looking for HD 3D Zelda rip off)

But seriously, back to my original question in #59. They’d be fools not to include these Sony characters. Oh wait, they’ll probably charge extra for them as “DLC”….

Was looking at people’s comments earlier but had not yet checked out the footage….

Jesus Christ, that is the worst rip off piece of shit I’ve seen in a while. If someone had said some weird Chinese black market company had made this people would have cried rip-off… The fact this is official is a complete joke.

Nintendo should sue seven shades of shit outta Sony for this. It’s not just another fighting game, it IS super smash brothers. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference at a glance.

Bad show Sony… Bad show…

@62

Not in this case… Looks cheap and nasty

@63 apparently if it has different characters it isnt a rip off!!!!!! who knew?

@58

Oh come on, to copy something that blatantly is just embarrassing. How can they developer even have the guts to talk about this abomination without being sick in his mouth a little bit…

I mean, check out the developers diary of dishonoured. The guy saying he deliberately tried to avoid any other enetertainment product when trying to create an original art style.

There’s one thing getting subconsciously influenced, it’s entirely another to copy something outright!

This should be called instead ***PlayStation All copying: the nintendo Royale***

Rare should defo be working in their rip-off SSB… MS have plenty of characters to fill a roster.

You get 4 or 5 from Halo easy, from Master Chief to the Covenant. Chuck in a bug robot from that big robot game they had. Kameo and Blinx. Some girls from the Dead or Alive games… Conner the Squirrel dude, the pilot from Crimson Skies, Joanna Dark and erm… Well you get the idea…

It could have Kinnect controls AND a dance game!! It’d sell lot hot cakes mate, trust me

Best mash up ever:

Titus the fox
Gianna Sisters
Monty Mole
Jack the Nipper
Horace
Roland from Roland in the caves
The jester from Black Lamp
Jet set Willy
The kid from Magic Pockets
Bubble Ghost
Barbarian
Ikari Warriors
Kiwi from New Zealand Story

#68 you forgot alan wake, some fable characters, phoenix and carmine, how could you?

@69 You talk about copycat and then promote Gianna Sisters? FAIL.

For those predictably knee-jerk reacting from glancing at a video, you want to read the first-hand previews from people that have actually played the game and spent time with its combat system. Seems like they’ve found plenty of differences in what’s been shown off so far.

@71

That was a joke. I forgot most people on forums have Aspergers syndrome and fail to spot sarcasm and irony very easily…

If you would care to pick apart my list further you will see games icons listed from various companies who no longer exist so there is no real worry of this game being created…

Also, I’ll call it now…. This game will be shit.

I don’t see how listening to a few neck beards opinions who have been plied with free booze from the company who have been developing the game is going to sway my gut instincts. This game looks shocking, no two ways about it….

You gotta have SOUL, something Nintendo games generally have in bucket loads. This smacks of dirty whoreish corporate bullshit….

@71 why would you trust them? there obviously been paid to say shit

So you’re saying that these people that have played the game have been paid to lie about the game mechanics.

OK.

yeah i am

@74

If you’ve never heard of people being over enthusiastic at a preview showing, your incredibly nalive…:

Fun examples include Dead Space 2′s amazing multiplayer mode! Kinect etc…

OK, clearly stressing the word “mechanics” to help you see the distinction between factual detail and personal opinion clearly didn’t work.

Its just as possible that some people don’t even know such a distinction could even exist.

You guys sound like a bunch of fucking whiny kids! If you don’t like it then don’t buy it. You sound so bitter, just shut the fuck up and go away with your bullshit. It comes down to the fact that playstation fans want this game, smash bros was a good game so obviously sony have taken from that. If sony made something totally different you would all say it was shit. They copied a winning formula, they would be stupid not to. Nintendo will not sue them, you fucking idiots.

@77 in what ways did they describe the ‘mechanics’ to be in anyway different to smash brothers?

What’s the new ‘hook’? The whole point of making new fighting games was to add a slightly new spin on things:

Mortal Kombat, fatalities
Streetfighter X Tekken, gems
Dead or Alive, reversals etc…

What is new here compared to smash brothers? Please provide me with links

@78

Get fucked with your, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it bullshit… Thats the most lazy arguement to anything, sequels, dlc etc… You seriously want lazy cash ins like this?!

It just easy and cheap for Sony to develop stuff like this…

Let’s just face it, I own all 3 consoles and Nintendo is clearly the company everyone else copies…

@80 Why do you care? Seriously, why? What dose it matter if this is like smash bros? Smash bros had nintendo characters. This is similar, but with playstation characters. That is the obvious big difference. Who gives a shit if it looks the same as a game on a different console, with different characters?

Yeah, its easy and cheap for Sony to develop a new game in a genre they’ve never done before using a brand new studio, making a game totally from the ground up. *rolls eyes*

@80 You have anger issues, clearly. Maybe take a few breaths and let your fanboy rage cool down. I also own all three consoles, and I don’t care who copies who. So long as I like it.

@82

Its not a risky project. It’s directly copying a tried and tested formular. It’s an easy sell considering its not really a new ip. So yes, considering those factors, it is cheap and easy for Sony.

@81

I don’t like it because it lacks imagination and soul. If I see anything that proves otherwise I’ll happily change my mind but from what I’ve seen this just looks plain bad.

Why are you getting so defensive, I’m mainly attacking the developers for producing what I think Is a cynical marketing cash in

This makes me want to go on a shooting spree, lol il be famous

@83

just shut the fuck up and go away with your bullshit,

People in glass houses!

Not angry, just think this is lame. If I just posted, this looks shit, people would ask why. Just trying to list some reasons for why I think that.

@85

Go back to 4chan!

@87 no ones on /b/ atm

@84 You say you hate the developers for “cashing in”? Playstation fans have wanted this for a long time. It’s one of the most requested games to sony. Giving the fans what they want, what a bunch of bastards. I’m not being defensive, I just saw this game and got amped as it’s something I’ve wanted to see for a long time and I just see comments like yours full of unnecessary negativity, and it annoys me.

@84
Ironically a lack of risk and only using ‘tried & tested formulas’ is a perfect description of everything Nintendo releases.

Some more irony; you saying others are being defensive when you seem to be the most enraged person here. Dont like it? play something else. Its not like Sony have a lack of other PS3 games on the way.

The game is being made due to fan demand, accept it. No other dev is looking at what the fans want and are commissioning new studios to makes new games from the ground up. Are we really going to complain about this? I mean, fuck new content? Really?

@89

That was copy and pasted off one of your opening sentences actually… Insert credit, try again…

Look, I honestly didnt think anyone would request this kind of game from Sony. My bad if I’m wrong, it is literally the last thing myself or anyone I know ho owns a ps3 would be waiting for but maybe there is a market for it.

For me, Sony’s franchise characters just dont have enough history or love behind them compared to something like Nintendos games have.

@90

Nintendo can get away with this a little more since they are purely a games company and have invented most fun innovations in gaming in the last 20 years.

They still release some cash in shit though.

But, mario galaxy, skyward sword, mario kart, pikmin, star fox, wave race, f zero, etc etc…. Please find better examples of these type of games

^ Special pleading isnt cool. Oh and please, unless its something like Wii fit, Nintendo stopped being innovative a long time ago. The last original franchise they made was Pikmin on Gamecube, Sony on the other hand… Drop the act, most people here arent blinded by the nostalgia Nintendo lives off.

In what way is PS allstars part of this strategy? This is jut a rinse and repeat job and you know it. Same as crash bandicoot platformer and kart vs. mario kart and mario 64, move & kinect vs. wii remote, all handhelds vs. gameboy, the list goes on and on…

The wii is my most least played console, but, we all know, when Nintendo get it right, no one even comes close…

Forza 4 is a good example of copying an existing game and bringing new unique features thus leaving Gran Turismo behind.

Do you think ps allstars will achieve that over smash brothers? Good luck with that….

Point being, Sony also release original games on the side, Nintendo stopped long ago. Why shouldnt they do more traditional stuff too?
But whatever buddy, you’re clearly deep in this whole ‘Nintendo did everything first’ mentality. Just do us all a favour and live your delusion else where. I’m just glad you have no say in how games are made, otherwise most of them wouldnt exist, especially in the fighting genre; We’d only have Street Fighter as a 2D fighter or whatever the very first one was because they’re all based off that one original model, and Virtua Fighter or whatever for 3D ones. Actually Smash Bros wouldnt exist either, because Nintendo didnt invent mascot fighting games, cross over fighting games nor did they even invent the type of gameplay we see in SSB.

Have you even seen Nintendos eshop offerings? Thars originality in them thar hills too…

Look, fighters megamix aside, tell me another fighting game that took a selection of different mascot fighters, developed their unique fighting styles, added fan service (collectables, trophies etc…), added 4 player and online modes, added character specific levels, an easy to play yet deep combat system..?

I can only think of two, smash brothers and this…

What delusion do you think I live in? A world where games aren’t bullshit cash ins and contain some form of character and soul. Id rather that than get force fed shite anyday… I love lots of different styles of games, I’m just not afraid on calling out stuff that looks bad either…

I don’t care for Super Smash Brothers, never did. But i know a whole lotta people do.

The people here who are acting as if nothing in this world has ever been a blatant ripoff before are the real fools.

@97

Please mr. Company man, spoon feed me the same shit and I’ll eat it without question…

^
If you’re insulting me…..won’t work.

If you’re backing me……your line is exactly my point.

I don’t remember this many people complaining when Doom and Super Mario 64 were ripped off..

@99

You obviously weren’t there for the MarSon wars of ’91…

Lost a lotta good people in that war…

People said a Hedgehog couldn’t perform precision jumps like an old fat Italian man… Sad to say, they was right…

People said, the level design wasn’t as inspired… They was right

People said, Needlemouse was only created to combat Mario’s huge worldwide appeal… They was right….

People have ALWAYS complained when shit is ripped orf!
