"E3 2012 is just days away, and we’ve got one more way for you to get in. It won’t be easy, but it’s definitely going to be fun.
With the upcoming PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale featuring the biggest names in PlayStation history clashing in battle, we’re celebrating with an E3 cosplay contest outside the Los Angeles Convention Center. This Tuesday, June 5th at 12:00pm, come dressed as your favorite PlayStation All-Stars character for a chance to win a three-day pass into E3. You could also win a PS Vita or even a trip to San Diego Comic-Con 2012!"
While Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale didn't get the best review, there are still some aspects of the game that deserve some credit.
Though PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale is a bit of a cult classic, it could have been a big hit if it launched in 2022 instead of 2012.
It wouldn't have mattered, Sony would've rushed it out and left it to die. More so now than before with their focus now being on SP narrative driven AAA games.
Oh, but somehow Smash Bros. 64 made it work?
It just couldn’t compete with Smash Bros. and it wasn’t a free-to-play game like Multiversus.
I think it released at the right time. It's just after the success of Smash and Multiversus, it's finally time for a sequel.
I'd be all in on a remake or remaster of the original. I enjoyed it because I didn't sit there and compare every aspect to SSB. I just enjoyed it as it was.
Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.
God of War: Ragnarok has plenty of fun references to PlayStation history, but now fans have discovered a conversation that calls back to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale — the crossover fighting game released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
