Full PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Cast Revealed

[Trishbot]

I have NO idea why Big Daddy is considered a "Playstation" All-star. He WAS Xbox exclusive for awhile. I have the game. It says so right on the cover.

Same reason why the Xbox touts BioShock as an exclusive title when it was on the PC since launch.

Actually, the cover says "Only on Xbox Live AND Windows"... which are both Microsoft platforms.

I'm not opposed to third-party, but in no way has Bioshock ever been a "Playstation" All-star (especially over the likes of Crash, Spyro, and others.)

I must have read that wrong then. I was going by what it said on my cover of the game, which is "Only for XBOX 360." My bad. My original point was that people don't make any sense when they're doing things.

But yeah, that's completely valid. He really doesn't belong there (and it's not like Sony is stretched for mascots,) so I can see where you're coming from.

 

[AetherWolf]

I can understand why Spyro and Crash aren't included, seeing as the rights to both characters are flying all over the place. Can't say I'm not disappointed though.

 

[Auron225]

Wow, most of those guys didn't come to mind when I imagined Playstation All-Stars... I'm kinda disappointed. I know they don't own the rights to them, but I was still hoping for Spyro, Crash, the Prince of Persia & Lara Croft to name a few.

At least they got Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter...

 

[PrototypeC]

I just don't know who this game is FOR. Sony is still trying to build a character-based reputation, but it's ludicrous. They don't have a Mario, or a Sonic, or even a console mascot (you know, besides the one in the game. Who sucks.)!

You know who they DID have? Spyro. You know who they DON'T have? Spyro!

They don't own any of these characters. Console exclusive? What's that? I don't care. A good percentage of Nintendo's characters came from the current head of the company himself. They own them.

I love my PS3, but I don't see this game being a big success. Remember Playstation Move Heroes? That was a joke.

 

[Frostbite3789]

Super Smash Bros. had just 12 playable characters. Brawl, the most recent installment in the series, clocks in at 35.

With about 15 move sets between them.

 

[PrototypeC]

Hey, yeah... where's Wander? He has a sword (which can reflect light), a bow (that he is a master with) and a huge, loyal horse (that he can do various moves riding on or jumping off). He could potentially also have a parachute, an explosive arrow type, an invisibility cloak, or a long-range electric harpoon. He even has alternate costumes: Mask of Power w/ Cloak of Force, Shaman's Mask w/ Shaman's Cloak, or even Possessed Wander, all with different-looking swords. Hell, he could just be tackling some Colossus in the background of a SotC fight stage, or something!

Then there's Spyro, who was a Playstation mainstay, one of the reasons people bought the console (yo, fuck Crash. A soulless corporate mascot who isn't half as cool and hip as he thinks he is, like Sonic the Hedgehog's worst qualities turned up to 11). Spyro can breathe fire, water, ice, wind, and electricity among others, as well as fast headbutts and shielding himself with his wings. He can also glide, or just fly, depending, and while doing so he can "headbash" (charge downwards horns-first). Alternate costumes: legendary Spyro (navy blue skin instead of purple) and dark Spyro (almost black, with white eyes).

So the question is; who is the producer who dropped the ball on negotiating the appearance of these two, and the other missing characters? Hm?

 

[Bobic]

I was going to make some comment on the inclusions and suspicious absences of this game but shit, PaRappa the rappper. What the hell, that is absolutely amazing. This game is completely worth getting based on that one character. I'm still smiling from when I reached his name in the article. Har de har har.

Sony, just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

There are plenty of exclusive characters, or at least there were back in the day. The problem is, the PS1 had a lot of well-remembered exclusives and characters, but the PS2 and PS3 really haven't expanded on them. So while Nintendo has its Mario, and Link, and Samus, Sony just has a bunch of characters from games that they don't own the rights to anymore.

 

[Cybylt]

So they have non Sony-exclusive characters, and they chose the Dante that's not even the sony exclusive one but the terrible one only capable of saying "fuck you" made by the guys who made Heavenly Sword. As well as the Raiden as opposed to Snake, I'd say something about him being from a multiplat spinoff but he's so much better than the original Raiden.

 

[piinyouri]

Really rather odd that Cole is in their twice.
For separate forms.

 

[xPixelatedx]

Wow, that a pathetic lineup. Way to much current nonsense and not enough from Sony's past... you know, back when they had a LOT of franchises? I don't see Crash Bandicoot, nor do I see Robbit. Both of those characters are more "Playsation" then that entire list combined. Spyro is also missing now that I think about it... yeah, this keeps getting worse the more I look at it.

Aside from 2 characters on that list, it looks like Sony completely forgot there was once a PS1.

 

[DarksideofNick]

Final point: Yes, SSBB has more characters at 35, but come on, how many of those are palette-swaps? How many of those are actually worth playing as? (The token Jigglypuff comes to mind).

Gotta agree here...I've had friends argue with me that wolf, falco, and fox are radically different, and while they do have slight differences there isn't enough of one to justify them as "expanding the roster"(and Pichu? c'mon) give fox a choice of guns and there you go. And if you want to complain about dlc look at MvC3, and of course MvC3 ultimate... Those are also characters that are vastly different so would you call that a bad fanfiction? Honestly I think the characters are interesting and I am fairly sure they didn't include snake because either Nintendo has dibs on him or they didn't want to rip off SSB more than they had. Personally I will get it just for Sir Daniel Fortesque. (oh and Big Daddy not being ps3 exclusive... who gives a crap? It's a freaking Big Daddy...)

 

[Blunderboy]

Playstation All Stars.

Playstation.

Big Daddy from Bioshock?

*Looks at 360 copy of Bioshock and PC copy of Bioshock 2.*

Erm, what?

 

[JMPease21]

I really like MediEvil on ps1, so I'm glad to see that guy getting some love.
But the lack of Crash Bandicoot seems like a huge mistake

 

[CrazyGirl17]

While there are some good names on the list (though why does Cole have to be on there twice?), it still feels complete without characters from the PS1 era. Stupid copyrights...

 

[pandorum]

PaRappa the Rapper over Crash Bandicoot? WTF P only had one or two games Crash had games on both PS1 and PS2 and was a mainstay, for years I played them games not very happy with that I hate the word boycott so I'll give this one a miss.
