i bet it'll be much easier to pick up and play. that was always a problem for me and super smash bros, because nintendo always has the crappiest controller setup. now its on the dualshock baby!!

The Nintendo controller doesn't have a crappy setup, their's a learning a curve involved.

by saying there is a learning curve involved, you inadvertently support my argument that nintendo's controllers are crappy.

just think of it this way

super smash bros has had three iterations: the self titled first game, melee, and the most recent entry, brawl.

now each one of those games has been on a different console, with radically different controller set-ups. this provides no cohesive system of executing commands in the game because its always so different.
yes, the respective button commands may be the same in some cases, but the location of the said button always varies, leading to a adjustment period in which you get owned by a more familiar player

so unless you are a nintendo gamer that has all three consoles (with their respective titles) then there's no way somebody who plays playstation or xbox and has only casually played this game (or one of the others) at a friend's house can easily pick up SSB and play it with someone who is a veteran player, and not get the crap beaten out of them.

with a more approachable control set-up, you open it up to everyone

i was referring to all 3 of them. in the context of there being no easy transition from one console to the next

for example

someone who hasn't played the wii, but is very adept at either the gamecube and/or n64 SSB games. the minute they play brawl they are instantly thrown into the heat of the game with a completely different, and might i add very unconventional controller

I'm going to be honest, so far all it screams out to me is Smash Bros rip off. What makes it worse is from the roster I have seen so far, I question if it will be strong enough. Say what you like about Nintendo, one thing they know how to make is Iconic characters and Smash Bros has a bunch of them. This game though, what Fat Princess, Parappa the Rapper, a generic solider from Killzone... do you see my problem here, these Sony entries just arent strong enough.

You look at FF Dissidia even, that had a great cast of characters and FF tributes enough for any FF fan to pick up and play . I just don't see this reaching the same charismatic value.

Did you watch the video? They showed like 6 characters, plus the guy said they are listening to the fans so relax dude.

I trust that characters like, Jak, Ratchet or Clank, and others will make it into the game.

I personally would like spike from Ape escape. His throw could be catching people in his net and whipping them across the map. Also Dart from Legend of Dragoon would be sick too.

You can say clone or the game looking very similar, but I wouldn't say rip-off. Playstation most certainly have enough of their own characters, each with very different worlds, that can bring their own unique moves and style. It's only a rip-off if the game isn't any good! Of course, we don't know the conclusion to that.

Just try to imagine it like comparing fighting games like Tekken and Soul Caliber. They're both fighting games with 3D graphics and with nearly the same camera view. The only differences are the characters and movesets. This game is like that to SSB. But honestly yes lol, it really does look nearly the same as SSB, but for sure the characters, levels, and moves aren't.

And yes, Crash got to make it!

I'm not worried about quantaty, more so quality. Lets face it, Nintendo has the most iconic characters in gaming history, Sony is only on thier 3rd system, and really dont have any iconic characters, apart from snake.... who kinda got his start on the NES, or perhaps that guy from the uncharted games, they are kinda popular, arnt they?

I guess if you dont have a N64, GC, or Wii, then this game might seem like a good thing, even though I pity you if you dont because your missing out out some of the best games, but I still say if u want SSB, go buy it.

@Fabi
This gen, it seems to me sony is just in copy/pasty mode, if something on another console does well, sony wants to get in on it, and this is just another example of it. O, I'm sorry, did u want another example? *cough* Move *cough*. I think that's what bothers me the most about this game, hell,who knows, it might end up being an ok fighting game, but it will always fell like a cheap SSB ripoff.

Personally, I don't care if this game isn't as good as Smash Bros. Smash bros is an incredible franchise. You can be not nearly as good as smash bros and still be an amazing game.

Know what I mean?

There are lots of Playstation characters I still want to see. Some PS1 jRPG characters, please!

The HERO from Dragon Quest 8 would make a great Playstation version of Link. lol... seriously! Sword, shield, boomerang, magic... has a spear as well, for an extra add-on.

Question.

Why is it that people say this; "so far all it screams out to me is Smash Bros rip off. "?

It's a mash-up brawler, so is Smash Brothers. So, does Smash Brothers own the concept of a brawler? Do they own the concept of a mash-up? Do they own the concept of 4-way play?

Sorry, I don't see the problem here, 4-way play, brawling fun. That's all. So if you're Sony, and you make a brawler, why not use all your iconic characters and mascots to being in the fans? OK, so it's not a unique concept, but then there are not many unique concepts in video games in any case, are there? Most games have their roots in games from 20 years ago and are really evolutions of those concepts with more modern technology.

You know what I would like to see? A top down, w-way action game featuring all the same Sony iconic characters working their way through level after level of adventure and treasure hunting. Kind of a Sony All-Stars meets Gauntlet. "Sackboy needs food, badly...", "Kratos is about to die...", "Cole Mcgrath shot the food!",... Much retro fun to be had.

I don't know.. taking the concept of a 4 way brawler is fine, but in terms of game design, screen layout, gameplay, style, etc, it all looks too similar to SSB imo. Maybe there are no other ways to implement a 4 way brawler, but I find that hard to believe honestly.

That said though, Sony's characters and world are very much diverse and different than Nintendo's so that alone is probably enough for this game to be its own kind.

Smash Bros. plays nothing like Power Stones. Nor did I say this game is a Smash Bros. rip off. It's a clone. Everything from the floaty 4 player gameplay to the interactive levels and platforms. Watch, next we're going to see item drops and helper characters. Which is fine, I'm not complaining, but to deny the obvious Super Smash Bros. influence is asinine.

Jawknee has a point, and he does know his Nintendo, so I believe him. Although I had hoped that Sony's brawler would be a bit more different, SSB's formula is a winning one and if Sony is going with it, I'm good with that. I'd definitely feel the same if Sackboy Kart Racing played like Mario Kart!

I love God of War, so when Dante's Inferno and Castlevania:LoS was announced I was stoked. I didn't say "That game sucks cause it's a ripoff". Super Smash Bros. is a fun game. So why wouldn't people want more games like it? Time to grow up people.

Just want people to realize every game barrows from another directly or indirectly. I think Dante's Inferno is a prime example. There is always room for more good games in the same genre.

So then according to some, every 3D, third person action adventure game with elements of platforming and combat is a rip off of either Tomb Raider, Uncharted, or any previous 3D, third person action adventure with combat, puzzles and/or platforming - including Ratchet and Clank.

4-way play has been around in various games since before Gauntlet even. Brawlers are not exactly new either. I'm sorry, but this isn't a case of criticizing Nintendo, I'm simply pointing out that the game play in a 4 way brawler is not really earth shatteringly innovative. Even if this game combines several elements that are similar to a game on another platform, it no more makes it a clone or copy than one FPS being like another FPS makes either a copy of the other.

@Highlander, far too often shooters are just cut and paste jobs. You know this. You cannot deny that so far, from what we have seen, this is Smash Bros. with Sony characters. No need to deny it. Sony again followed where Nintendo lead. And there is nothing wrong with that. That's not to say Sony won't do things different or make improvements upon the Smash Bros. formula. There are a lot of 4 player brawlers but none have had the success of Smash Bros.

@Dustinwp, Gotcha. I know too many Nintendo fanboys are having a seizure. I'm thrilled as a Nintendo fan. I love Smash Bros. Now I can play it with my favorite Sony characters. :)

Jawknee: You're not really going to accuse others of anti-Nintendo bias when you've clearly exhibited a bias for Nintendo, are you...?

This ridiculous idea that Sony just "always" steals from Nintendo has always been false; just another silly claim from the Ninty fankids. I'm sorry, but while there are examples, in terms of gaming overall, Sony is the one making strides in interactive entertainment. Not Nintendo. Gimmicks don't count. Evolution and innovation do, and Nintendo hasn't really done either for a long time.

Move has heavy Wii influence and now this. Which is fine with me. I'm not complaining or accusing Sony of stealing ideas. I just think its silly to try and deny that these games are very similar in layout, gameplay, level design, etc.

You said it yourself. It's a Playstation brand Smash Bros. and that is fine.

The implication is that Sony took influence from one of Nintendo's franchises just like they took influence from the Wii when making the Move in both design and function while improving upon the tech which I expect they'll do with their brawler. I never conflated influence with stealing ideas. My band is heavily influenced by Propagandhi and NOFX yet we don't steal their ideas. Same rule applies.

I agree with most of highlanders points. While the game does look similar to smash bros, watching the video on IGN led me to believe the combat wasn't as simplistic as smash bros and had a bigger move set. However I can't deny how similar it looks to SSB.

Jawk

Power stones and SSB are similar games, you have items that drop down from the sky, four player brawling, floaty jumps and interactive maps. But your right in that they play differently, this is largly due to one being 3D and one being 2D.

But I think you were saying that All-stars is heavily influenced by SSB which I do agree, I think some people interpreted that as you calling it a clone/rip off or not good for some reason.

Just to add to the list; developer Klei Entertainment (who brought us Shank 1 and 2) had a game called Sugar Rush (look it up on youtube :3) that unfortunately didn't get picked up after the beta.
It was just like Super Smash Bros, though in 2D form with a slightly larger map (in terms of scrolling by the screen when moving), allowed up to 8 players (4 vs. 4) and featured character customization in terms of looks and stats.

I'm certain Nariko will make it. That one PGN site made me a believer and I saw hints of Nariko, so I'm going with that lol.

Can't say I've been much for these brawler types. Looks okay, but probably not for me.

Ahh, this was Ign's big sony announcement? Can you 'imagine' what the hype machine would be like if the sequel to the ps3 was to be released later this year?

They prabably would play 'vague' game like nintendo did with their sequel to the wii? Gosh, I sincerely hope not.

umm smash bros hard to pick up and play? that game is super simplistic lol and i love it... ps all stars doesn't look like much of a smash bros clone though.. i seen energy bars and most of the stages shown were "closed" so no "knocking opponents off the stage to win" so yeah Im already not interested

Unless Duke Nukem is an announced third party character...... 0_0

This looks like a lot of fun! Nice job Sony! No reason you cannot improve on a winning formula. DOOM has been improved over time by many companies. NO reason Sony cannot do the same. The only complaint I have is please remove the white outline! That doesn't look good at all. I hope this does well because I enjoyed SSB and feel like it's time for something new in this genre.

Hopefully it has the same perfect combination of depth and accessibility that makes Smash Bros a timeless classic.

I have lofty expectations, but I'm confident this game will deliver.

Also, my excitement for this game has officially skyrocketed. I've always wanted something like this on a Playstation console.

Seems like they are going to go the campy route. How could it not. It is a "brawler" and has fat princess and a rapper.

I originally liked the idea, but I am envisioning myself playing it, and let's say I am playing as Cole. I have to face a Raccoon thief?

Ok, I am not going to bury this thing totally until I see it in action. But, these are not iconic characters in the same mold as Link, Mario, or even Kid Icarus. Adults play SSBB for the nostalgia, and kids play it cuz it's fun.

I had my hopes up for something like a Golden Eye 4 person multiplayer where you have serious characters with their own abilities playing on maps unique to all their franchise games. Give me Cole, Kratos, Dante, Ezio, Nate (ok, he will be at a disadvantage =)), maybe throw in a Big Daddy from Bioshock.

They probably didn't go that direction since that concept has been done to death, but it would be fun to be Kratos or Cole scaling the buildings of Rome chasing after Ezio.

Imo, this needs a new name. It's a bit complicated if you want to talk about it amongst other people.

"So hey have you heard about Sony's version of Super Smash Bros.?"

"Nah... what is it?"

"It's Playstation All-Stars Battle Royal!!"

"Playstation All-Stars.. what?"

In this day and age, we like to shorten what we say, and there is absolutely nothing I can think of to shorten this one. PASBR? Title Fight, or Playstation Title Fight seems more straight forward and less cheesy. Previously, "Heroes on the Move" seemed better than the final name, "Playstation Move Heroes." Sony's getting a bit cheesy with these title names... of course, imo.

This title will be a boon for the PlayStation Brand. The roster can always be expanded and new stages are only a DLC away. It will bring more visibility to PlayStation characters. Hey maybe someday they too will be considered “ICONIC” even to other brand enthusiasts.

All these announcements are making people wonder just what will Sony reveal at E3 this year. Just like last year they announced big titles prior to the show. With all this activity the probability of a 2012 E3 PS4 reveal just went below 5%.

Imagine... Big Kaz takes the stage to announce "PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS: VITA" with FULL Cross-Platform functionality with PS3. If he doesn’t do I will so if PSAS: VITA is not already in development then SONY will have no choice but to make it happen because an announcement like that would create BUZZ of Epic Proportions!

I can appreciate your enthusiasm. But "This title will be a boon for the PlayStation Brand".

Do you believe that really? Do you mean it in a way that you think it will be a system seller? When I hear "boon for the PlayStation Brand", to me means that it will really push the brand forward. I don't see how this game could do that.

To me, this just seems like it will be a fun title, that will be lucky to sell 500,000.

Playstation Move heroes sold a little over 100,000 I believe.

Maybe there is a thirst for this type of game that you see, and I just don't. In no way do I represent the gaming populous, but I think it could be somewhat fun for a bit, however I tire of these types of games quickly.

Actually I have no thirst for this game at all. Fighting games in general have not excited me too much. I enjoy playing them but I am over them to the point that they are not D1Ps for me.

My statement comes from Sony's perspective. If they handle this property properly it can and will make their characters more visible in this ever expanding gaming industry. Opening the audience of all titles to each other. Also if a VITA version is announced SONY can really say that they are living up to the Cross Platform Gaming feature. Imagine having a quick match with up to 3 opponents located anywhere on the planet on a PS3 or VITA all while on a bus or train ride or just sitting in the park. You know, all the things the VITA is made for.

Maybe I should have said the this game "MAY" be a boon instead of "will" be. It all depends on what Sony does with the property. Particularly if the 3rd party support is healthy.

All the characters I want in the game:
Dante, Jak, Crash, Spyro, Cloud, Snake, Sora.
Though I'm definitely getting this game no matter what. I really hope they manage to get a ginormous roster with at least 50+ characters. I hope most of the roster will be from the PS1 and PS2 gens.

While this isn't really my style I'd probably pick it up cheap for when I have friends or family over because they are fun when you have 4 people in the same room laughing and what not.

I think they need to add a White Knight to the mix, all my other favorites have been mentioned, but I think the White Knight would be pretty perfect for this game.

Can we get a lil Raziel & Kain in there? That would be sweeeeeet. The final boss should be a fusion of Metal Gear Rex, and Minion from the old TM games with Kevin Butler behind the wheel. Minion Rex will destroy all!!!

Anyone here remember Thrill Kill,how it was rated AO and never released? Now that is something I would like to see finally released!Really twisted four player action in cramped spaces with them dying off one at a time. What I worry about here is this company, I've never played anything from them or heard of them so hopefully this will be good. I personally would like to see Cloud, Sephiroth,a moogle, Solid Snake, Revolver Ocelot, Nathan Drake, Crash, Lara Croft maybe even Pyramid Head and Sir Daniel Fortesque hah.

Thrill Kill was cool.

It was basically released as a different game, Wu Tang: Taste The Pain. Exact same engine, exact same gore, only this time you had to unlock the gore via a code.

sigh.
this is EXACTLY why $ony has not posted a FY profit for years!
stupid decisions like this.
i wish $ony would stop trying to steal a piece of nintys pie its NEVER going to happen!
there in the mindset that hey ninty is releasing all these kids games and are making a mint so if we make them we will make a mint too.
WRONG!

ninty is making a mint of these kids games because that is what they have been doing since the companies creation!
ninty is known for kids games, $ony is known for the opposite!
going to $ony for kids games is like going to ninty for GOW!
ninty would NEVER release a game with scenes half as graphic as GOW!
$ony need to stop being so god dam greedy, be happy with what they have, and bring back some old franchises their fans might actually want!
something the majority of their fans will want, not something 0.0000000000000000001% of their fans want!

how did medievil moves dedmunds quest sell?
how did that fitness game sell?
how did ape escape for the move sell?
how did playstation move heroes sell?
how did R&C all for one sell?
poorly?
hmmmmmmmmmmmm, i wonder why!!!!!!!!!!

this is whats REALLY pissing me off with $ony this gen!
they cancel amazing looking games like 8 days, the getaway 3, heavenly sword 2, awesome projects that their fans would love and would push the industry forward!
things they SHOULD be doing, things that will make them a good profit get canned!
things that will sit and gather dust like facebook, twitter, crappy kids games, things that will make them the smallest profit get front row centre.
no wonder there bleeding money like a asian dude in a quentin tarantino film!
its, its almost like $ony WANT to go bankrupt!

Erm yeah, Nintendo don't just do 'kids games', you should look up the three RPG's they've just published for the Wii, oh and in June there are two survival horror games known as Project Zero coming out by Nintendo, so Sony isn't exactly jumping on a 'kids game bandwagon' here, because I hardly believe too many kids will even be interested in this game anyway.
