It's official

Lemme tell you, as a Playstation fan, I've been waiting for this game for years — especially after Super Smash Bros. was released.

Ripoff or not, this would be one helluva game!

    It's a clever idea. I wish more game companies would do a companywide crossover game.

    Speaking of which, where's my Inventory sequel? :p

    Clunky name aside, I'm into this. I'll need to see more of a roster than what we've currently got though.

    They got Sly Cooper so that at least rates it a rental for me. If they add Nathan Drake, I'll be getting it day one! :D

    The list so far is:

    Fat Princess
    Sweet Tooth
    Kratos
    Sly
    Parappa the Rapper
    General Radik (Killzone)

    If they announce Ratchet and Crash, I'm there.

    Aside from the obviously cruddy name, I'm excited for this. Have been since November 2011. I mean, most who actually use the Internet already knew Super Bot was making this Sony cross-over game.

    EDIT: Also, it is a cruddy name. A good name must roll off your tongue. Super Smash Bros.? Goes in one smooth roll. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is not only a freaking long name, it contains too many syllables AND words. Shorten it and you get PSASBR, which is still too long. And it doesn't roll off your tongue as well. I mean, even Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! rolls better.

    I have to say, having each stage represent a combination of two franchises is a really clever choice

    How about PS AS Battle Royale.... PissAss Battle Royale? That flows fairly well.

    Colonel Radec makes it an insta buy if I had a PS3....now if only they had Colonel Templar.

    Is Snake still considered basically a Playstation character? Could he possibly make an appearance in both Smash Bro AND (deep breath) PlayStationAll-StarsBattleRoyale?

    I hope there's a Parappa the Rapper/Heavy Rain stage.

    And also Sonic. And make sure the game is 80 dollars because these are good developers who knows how much money 80 dollars is.

    I hope it has a Metal Gear Solid character in it. Like Snake or Ocelot.

    MGS4 is still an exclusive, so they'll probably have Old Snake instead.

    It seems like it's just Sony characters, so Snake probably wouldn't be allowed. Neither would Crash or Spyro, for that matter, since they're with Activision now.

    Hopefully there'll be a few guest characters, though.

    I'd imagine Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank will be in the next few teaser trailers. Expect riots if they don't.

    The thing is, who else would there be? I mean, when you look at Nintendo franchises there's so very many that would work in this sort of game, but Playstation? There's not a huge number, to be honest. Beyond the already revealed ones and the two I've mentioned, there's Uncharted and... what else?

    Also, the name. I suggest Sony Battle Royale. Quicker, easier, better.
  • JohroJohro

    Cole from Infamous and Drake will probably be there.

    umm...

    Hale and Capelli, Resistance 2&3
    Leonard, White Knight Chronicles
    Kiryu, Yakuza

    and I think that's it for the modern franchises that Sony has a strangle hold on. I'm guessing there will be a hand full of retro characters and shared characters too. As well as probably 2 or 3 that most of us never heard of that never made it overseas.

    How about the Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet?

    I think it would be cool if Sackboy is in it you can change his costumes to costumes from other little big planet games

    Gee, if I didn't know better, I'd almost think you want Sackboy to wear other characters costumes!

    Actually, that would pretty much make him Kirby, wouldn't it? Hmm.

    I think it's more like, being able to import the LBP characters you created in LBP 1 and 2.

    Hey if Kirby can look like Link why can't Sackboy look like Sly Cooper or Jak

    Because Kirby had a illegitimate reason. That he can mimic the powers of any character.

    Sign me up if they have Sackboy dressing as the other characters..

    Meh, looks more like a support character or a background character.

    I hope Liquid Ocelot and Solid/Old Snake are in this. There two of my fave characters.

    So uh, bump.

    Not only is this game getting Nathan Drake (as was expected), but it's also getting... BIG DADDY.

    Which makes this an insta-buy.

    So, is Ethan Mars going to be in this game or what?

    Yes, we get it. At least they're honest about it being a rip off.

    It doesn't take much for you, does it? I mean, given your purchase history, I think this is more than a safe assumption.

    Why? Trying to leech sales? From a business perspective, I don't see the problem. Movies do it all the time.

    Cos it was changed so fast it looked like a mistake or Sony didn't like it.

    Probably people complaining and making a deal of it in the comments. Sounds like something youtube users would do. OMG companys not being wholesome and pure!!1!

    I hope not as well. Like I said, studios and distributors don't put "from the producer of..." "starring the lead actress of such films as..." on trailers and posters for the sake of imdb. :p

    No no no, the key thing for me is price. I won't actually be buying this day one (unless it's something silly like £20, which it wont be) - that was just a joke. I do that.

    I am interested in this though. How will big Daddy fight (god that sounded weird)?

    Okay, so this got me worried:

    How could they ever mess up?
