From IGN: Sony has revealed that no more characters will be announced for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale’s launch. In a post on Twitter, PlayStation Blog senior social media specialist Sid Shuman wrote that “We have revealed the full launch lineup of characters,” confirming that All-Stars will ship with 20 fighters.
And as for J&D, R&C, and Sly, I've never played any of the games they're from.
I think you should try them out, There is demos of Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction and A crack in time on the Playstation Store. They might change their minds and add more characters....Or at least Crash, Spyro, Abe, Gex, & Sora. Also the first 3 Jak games and first 3 Sly games are on the Playstation Store.
Any further additions to the roster would likely be DLC. I certainly would like to see Spyro and Crash, those were some of my favorite games on the original PlayStation.

I wouldn't count on it, Sony would then have to go through both Square Enix AND Disney to get him in, and then split the profits etc... wouldn't be good for Sony probably.

It would still be cool to have him and being fair the roster is better than most first fighting games...Still i wish Crash,Spyro,Rayman,Sora, and Kat was announced, Also did anyone else in euorpe get into the PS All-Stars beta? I got into the PS Vita beta.
I just noticed something but it seems that Superbot is sticking with designs that Playstation fans like. For example they are using the Ratchet & Clank future design for R&C and the Jak 3 designs for J&D.
I hope cos Spike is in this they might make a new Ape Escape game! One that isnt a move game.
I actually never played a actually Ape Escape game. I played demos of Ape Quest and Ape Escape PS Move. I hope Ape Escape 1 is added to the PS1 Classics in the UK Playstation Store sometime.

Yh don't hold your breath I gave up waiting and bought the ps1 game off ebay.

Really. I cannot agree. In fact, I couldn't disagree more.

Need I go on?
Ok to be fair here, Superbot may have been told to use that design to promote the new game coming. Anyway maybe one of the different costumes will be his old design.
First,Everyone will be able to get into the beta on 24th October, PS plus members will be able to get into it on the 17th and all PS Vita players will get into the beta tomorrow. Also they show us all of the costumes you can get for pre-ordering.
They should release a toy set of All Stars! Just cos I have always wanted Ape Escape figure and this would be the best chance to get one.
Agreed, though some of these already have figures or will have soon. Kratos has many, many figures, Nariko has at least one, Raiden will be getting one soon, and I believe Nathan Drake has a few. Still. I sure wouldn't mind a Sir Daniel figure.
Wow...I'd be a little more interested if there were some other characters available to use.
Well to be fair it is only a beta. I mean 6 out of 20 characters is an ok selection. Like i said i got into the UK PS Vita Private Beta that was on a few weeks ago and i think the game was fun.

If they ever did that then one of the packs has to have Sly cooper,Jak & Daxter,Ratchet & Clank,Cole,Nate,Sackboy, and Parappa.
The appeal of Smash Bros. is that people can battle with iconic characters that they love. Maybe Ratchet, Clank, Jak, Daxter, or Sly Cooper would be cool. But the truth is that Sony doesn't have any mascots. That's not their thing. Mario, Link, Samus and Kirby are like mascots for Nintendo, and that's part of the fun.
Really, who cares about fighting with Fat Princess?
Luigi, you'll need to fix that link. You've left off the closing bracket at the end.
Actually, almost all the characters are from series that either are, or were, Playstation exclusives. The only character that's not is Big Daddy, who's included solely for rule of cool. And I've got no problem with that!
Before you say anything - the original Metal Gear Solid was a PS1 exclusive, there's been PSP games, and MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive. The Metal Gear series has predominantly been on Sony consoles.
And yes, I'm aware the new Dante is from a multi-platform game, but the original series was originally only on the PS2 before the recent HD collection. So it KIND of counts. Maybe.
I'm loving Jak & Ratchet & Sly's pre-order costumes. Jak's Jak 1 design mixed with Jak 3 design looks great and Ratchet's armor looks good, Also Sly's robin hood costume looks great.

A lot of great franchises broke ground on Sony's platforms no doubt about it. The problem is that Sony couldn't keep a hold of the IP's or developers, the GTA series was exclusive to Playstation whilst it was totally revolutionising gaming forever. Also Sony haven't been in the game as long as Nintendo, so they've fewer really established properties that feel like they have a long heritage. One of the most iconic they have there for me personally, is Parappa, and he's had a total of two games, three if you count UmJammer Lammy.
So really you have this roster that I feel either doesn't feel very unique to Sony, or to touch back on what Chyron said, it doesn't feel as substantial to have them in a fighter as opposed to the likes of Kirby or Mario or Princess Zelda or Donkey Kong. But that's maybe me wearing my Captain N letterman jacket proudly.
Also obviously i'm clearly just gonna point at it and say "ORIGINAL IDEA. DO NOT STEAL. HURR!" like a dick.
To be honest, if they ditched all the third party characters, stuck only with their first party franchises, gave them more than just one character, it would have a tad more personality. Right now it just seems like a jumbled mess a fangame would look like. The mash-up stages don't really help at all.

I hope Sora is added as DLC.

If so, then I will use those. Otherwise, I will stay away from Dante completely, which is a shame because I like Dante prior to DmC.
I dunno. Maybe they redesigned him slightly so he didn't look so similar to something from Smash Bros or something? Does it really matter?
I didn't know this was a no wondering zone!

But I agree, this is like when Konami made a cart racer, they had to kind of grasp at straws and Sony clearly had to reach even harder here.

Specter is in the background! And YAY at boxing ape as an attack!
Evidently not since I didn't know there was an Ape Escape anime.
And heres something cool
Sweet MGS2 Alt costume!

I think your right.
Soon you will be making Ape Escape references instead of Simpsons references!!! :eek:
