Sony Smash Brothers Confirmed?

[NightHawk21]

Yes I want this to happen.
Right now I want at least this roster:
- Kratos
- Nathan Drake
- Snake
- Cole
- Dude from ecochrome (there's always that one weird character)
- Radec from Kz2
- Sackboy
- Ratchet and Clank
- Nathan Hale (and maybe a chimera too)
- Sly (maybe the other characters too)

Feel free to add more.

Seems like a rumor to me, any more reliable gaming news blogs pick up the story? I really can't think of a Sony character that I would want to see in a fighting game. Sony is not a 'character studio' like Nintendo is. Sony does not have the same sort of roster of characters that we all know and love from our childhood. In the past Sony's strength was the third party nature of the games. Their first party games are not based around characters we remember from childhood like Ninitendos are.

Even if it isn't real and only a dream. I look forward to pounding the living bullshit out of Kratos with almost any other Sony character.

 

[Dfskelleton]

That sounds... awesome but pretty fake. Well, if Sony gets one, can Xbox 360 get one too? Seeing Francis York Morgan duel with Marcus Fenix is something I would pay good money for.
But, I guess I can be contempt with being able to murder Nathan Drake with Kratos. York's incredibly-delicious-yet-scaldingly-hot coffee to the face attack will have to wait.
EDIT: JAMES SUNDERLAND. WE NEED TO HAVE JAMES SUNDERLAND AS A FIGHTING GAME CHARACTER.

Can't tell if fake or bloody awesome

i want to fight Drake as Old Snake

 

[BristolBerserker]

How anyone could beat Kratos in a fight beats me. Especially one made from sackcloth.

 

[Charli]

Le sigh, I would play it, I'm that lame.

The ability to freeze time, create matter from nothing, and fly would probably help.

Maybe some sort of poisonous vagina might work.

 

[Amondren]

I haven't heard of the site so I kinda am wary about its validity but i wouldn't mind a game like that.

 

[blizzaradragon]

I could see this being fairly entertaining if this is real. Won't be as good as Super Smash Bros but also not an immediate dismissal as well. I'm hoping they manage to pull characters such as Jak or Ratchet into the game at least, but what'd make me ecstatic if they could put in characters like Junpei from Persona 3, Lyner from Ar Tonelico, or Monica from Dark Cloud 2.

Other question: would they try to pull characters from either Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts since they are predominately on Sony systems...

I want it really bad just to see how fucking ridiculous it is. Like having Sackboy fight Cole McGrath while Snake fist fights Crash Bandicoot. The only thing is that it is kinda hard to imagine a lot of these characters in a fighting game sorta universe. It'd have to be very unique and appealing to work.

- Tidus from FFX(purely so I can have fun beating the shit out of him)
- Wander from Shadow of the Colossus
- False King Allant from Demon's Souls
- Zoran Lazarević from Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Feel free to add more.

Bolded characters are my choices added to the list. I've got more, I'm just too tired to remember them. NightHawk21 got most of the characters I was thinking of, so I decided to add more to the list. :[]

Sorta like the Bar in that Micheal ad.

Haha yeah I guess so. The thing is, Sony has to use all of it's own first party games for the game, so I bet a lot of third party games will be left out.

 

[Solo-Wing]

Well I know who I will be using. Sly cooper all the way baby! :3

 

[RagnarokHybrid]

Well, it's not April 1st so maybe there is some credibility to this--unless the dude who wrote this couldn't wait for spring trickery to start and decided that Halloween trickery was just as acceptable.

Says who? Ubisoft let Ezio into Soul Calibur, who says they'd stop him going into Sony's thing? Valve would also be pretty open to the idea (just imagine Chell in a fighting game).

Sony still have a far better relationship with third party publishers than Nintendo, remember. If they thought it would help, they'd be a lot more open to third party characters.

You do raise an excellent point. I guess, if that's the case, then there may be a lot more third party involvement. I imagine the roster people really want though would be a bit more than Sony will deliver. Although considering it's a modern fighting game, they do have more room for more fighters.

Especially when you factor in the capability for DLC.

which is something the Nintendo aren't able to do. At least to my knowledge.

Sony has a fricking mountain of characters.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment#Owned_franchises_and_properties

Arc
Ape
Ellen
Fat Princess
Kratos
Nariko
Ico
Cole
Jak
Jeanne d'Arc
Rico
Dart
Noa
Sackboy
Fortesque
Mod Racer
Stan
PaRappa
Jen
Ratchet
Rau
Chimera
Jaster
Wander
Sly
Sweet Tooth
Nathan Drake

That's 27 characters with no two characters coming from the same game using just the franchises and properties owned by Sony. Take note that none of these are Final Fantasy characters.


To put that into perspective.
Brawl has 36 characters. If you were to strip Brawl of characters from the same games, you would come up with 17 characters.

Pretty sure Jak from Ja II and III would be a different character, not a different skin. Ones a mute platformer character. The other carries a gun and has an evil side that does kung fu.

...They're both Jak. They can play differently all they want, but the fact that they're still the exact same Jak from the exact same game universe has not changed. Jak fought without a gun before, he can fight without a gun again. Just because he uses one in Jak II and Jak 3 doesn't mean he's incapable of fighting without it. I fail to see why Jak II and Jak 3 can't be an alternate costume to the JaD Jak. Or the Jad Jak can be an alternate costume to the Jak II and Jak version of the character. Whatever the case, all 3 of them are the exact same Jak, regardless that he plays and acts differently in different games. Unless they're gonna be douchemongers and pull that Link/Young Link/Toon Link bullshit where you get three different characters with the exact same combat style with different speeds and strength.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

My doubts about this are pretty big, but that's not going to stop me wanting to see the likes of Welkin putting a few rounds through Kratos.
