They look great. Also, the new stage is "Uncharted meets Warhawk" from what I heard.

I hope we get some Insomniac love. I really want to see Ratchet & Clank + Spyro. Then have Jak feud Ratchet, and Spyro feud Crash.

[KonaBro]

It was just a video showing off the concept for the stage. It was confirmed.

[blitz0623]

They definitely need to include Crash now.
Drake vs Jak vs Crash!

[mt]

I would love to see a game with Crash vs Spyro vs Jak and Daxter vs Ratchet and clank

[Larry L]

My slightly crazy 3rd party prediction for this game, and I've said this since All-Stars was announced...........Kratos was in Mortal Kombat.......a Mortal Kombat character is going to be in All-Stars. The obvious choice for brand recognition will be Scorpion or Sub-Zero, though I think GORO would be the best fit but GORO would be tough to come up with Supers for, unlike Scorpion or Sub-Zero..

[ChrisW]

Awesome! This is going to kick Super Smash Bros butt!!!

[Soldierone]

based on voice over work being done and other sources, expect to see Ratchet and Clank along with Snake get announced at some point soon.

[guitarded77]

Yeah, they have to be in the game.

[NBT91]

There is an arena based on Ratchet, I would be MUCH more surprised if Ratchet and clank were not playable...

[WeskerChildReborned]

Oh yea, i would want to see that as well, Ratchet in All stars would be great.

[mafiahajeri]

Cole looks like the best character so far a little op too :p. still hoping for the joker!

[Nimblest-Assassin]

I defininatley like how cole plays... i think I will use him as my main

Now all we need is a character from MGS, Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy and Kingdom hearts... and we are good

Also I hope the game has atleast 20 stages

[MrMister]

So who are all the confirmed characters so far? Also I wanna see Crash, Old Snake, and some RPG characters. We need more PS One era stuff to reminisce about

[Exquisik]

Announced so far (in chronological order):
Kratos (God of War)
Needles Kane aka Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal)
PaRappa (PaRappa the Rapper)
Fat Princess (Fat Princess)
Colonel Mael Radec (Killzone)
Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper)
Nathan Drake (Uncharted)
Big Daddy (Bioshock)
Heihachi Mishima (Tekken)
Toro Inoue (Playstation Japan Mascot)
Cole McGrath (Infamous)
Jak & Daxter (Jak & Daxter)

Rumored or at least with some credential source:
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid - posted on David Hayter's IMDB page - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm... )
Nariko and Yorba (Heavenly Sword and Ico - http://gamingeverything.com... )
Ratchet and Clank (Rathcet & Clank - Considering that Qwark is in one of the stage level, I don't see why Ratchet and Clank won't be in it - http://ratchet.wikia.com/wi... )

There will be at least 20 characters, so there are still at least 8 characters to be announced. I'm hoping that there will be at least 24 playable characters come launch date.

[dark-hollow]

Jack and daxter F**k YEAH :D

[sonic989]

awesome i hope sonic is in even as a dlc i got no problem
i think super bot are doing an amazing job with this game its just looks fun and i will be play the h*** out of it

[TheFinalEpisode]

Looking at your avatar and name, I'm not surprised :p

[CRASHBASHUK]

i think a few 3rd party game makers might join this game

[majiebeast]

Both supers and combos for these look good.

[user5467007]

Great but it's not like we didn't know they were coming...

Now we just need Crash. Spyro, Sackboy, Snake, Lara and Sir Daniel Fortesque.....maybe Croc...but I doubt they'll have Croc in.

Just like to point out that I find it strange they went with the Good Cole skin instead of his netural one....maybe SuckPunch decided to go with the Good ending for inFAMOUS 3....bit of a stretch but you never know

[hardandsloppy]

They already showed that the costumes for each character can look drastically different. For example, krato's alternate costume is his brother Deimos. So Cole could get both good an evil costumes, maybe a kessler one as well.

[user5467007]

Yeah but I'm talking about the standard outfit, not the differen't skins you can select as an alternative outfit. Wouldn't Coles be the Yellow and Black one, his netural clothing rather then it being the Good outfit.

Hell even the Level 2 Ice Attack is borrowed from the good side power since Kuo who's power you take is mostly the good choice in missions when you side with her.

[Reverent]

I'm really hoping for a Kessler Costume. That would be awesome.

[hardandsloppy]

You never know, they might change a couple of the movesets for certain costumes, Kratos' bro would seem rather weird using the blades of chaos, or chains of olympus or whatever. He used a spear mostly, so one can only hope.

[Kennytaur]

If you look at the picture of the alternative outfits, he's holding a pair of blades. But they look different from Kratos's. If they changed the weapons, then they will have to change the animations and moveset and re balance stuff, so then it would end up as a different character, not just outfit.

[GribbleGrunger]

no doubt we'll get regular updates via DLC. I'd say 2 new characters every 2 or 3 months

[faysal]

ahha i was right about cole... but i thought it would be cole and snake but it turned out cole and jack.. either way this is a good news :)

[Omar91]

Awesome!!!!

[Unexpecta]

This is why PSABR will be Game of the Year. A win for PS3 and PSV owners.

[SPAM-FRITTER-123]

LOL. NOT going to happen.

[Reverent]

Get outta here, Troll. Do your comments even matter at this point? Literally everyone recognizes you as the guy who trolls Sony articles. So really, get out.

[Advent99]

It will be a good game, but it won't win game of the year. When was the last time a fighting game won game of the year?

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Won't be GOTY. The game isn't looking too good already. Lots of flaws etc.

[KingOptimusOrigin111]

Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! Jak & Daxter, I've been waiting since they announce this game for them to reveal them.

[R_aVe_N]

OOOoooo Think i just got 10 times more excited for this game XD. Cole and Jak(daxter was just an added bonus) where my two must haves. I can not wait for my gaming parties with this one.

[sonic989]

haaahaaa yeah i liked cole he seems cool as always

[R_aVe_N]

Infamous is one of my favorites series this gen so I can't help but be excited about Cole added.

[sonic989]

i didnt get many platinums on my ps3 but infamous 1 and 2 got their ranks on my ps3 as platinumed and most played looool it was addicting i think twisted metal and this game are going to close the gap or even surpass it
long live gaming ( sony and sega before them )

[Fez]

I can't believe they used Cole from Infamous 2 and not 1. To me that's the equivalent of using Activision's Crash and Spyro over the originals. Bad choice! At least he's in it though cos he should have a good move set.

And where's X1-Alpha?

[thehusbo]

Just gets better with every announcement! :D

Liking the stealth disagrees in this thread also.

[R_aVe_N]

That would be NightShroud XD pay no attention to him lmao

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

haha I thought that so I've agreed everyone with the stealthy pointless one disagree.
Take that fanboy troll!

This game is looking great and I can't wait to see crash in the game, it just has to happen!

@NightShroud
What do you mean minding your own business?

"Can't wait to play this game.....Oh wait I did YEARS ago.LOL!"

You just came in here to troll.
In fact you're still trolling now.
now shoo, shoo away.

[AnimeRaven]

If that were the case NightShroud you would not be trolling PS3 related news.

[Cajun Chicken]

Jak and Daxter, Cole and his Pole.

[8bitHero]

and still no hero prinny in sight :'(
im slowly starting to lose faith in the lovable demon penguin

[sonic989]

he might come in as a dlc who knows

[NastyLeftHook0]

i hope they put chimera as dlc

[Qrphe]

Princess Etna's fault dood!

Gave you a disagree by accident btw :(
(all of my guilt)

[smashcrashbash]

Well I knew this was coming. No way they would leave Cole and Jak and Daxter out of this game. Ratchet is probably next. I am still hoping for Sir Dan,Crash,Kat and Spyro. BTW did anyone else see that Daxter attacks you too? He gave Heihachi a couple of kicks in that video. Also that ionic storm move by Cole is awesome.

[Qrphe]

Sorry nvm comment

[kingofe3]

Jak's level 3 super looks familiar.

[Reverent]

Well, if you played Jak3, you would recognize that as his "Eco Form". It actually does that.

[AnimeRaven]

I am loving the characters in the game so far well done SuperBot

[InfamousBIG]

Yeah they are doing a great job so far lets just hope Crash and Ratchet come in at some point.

[Omar91]

I would also want sora and sir dan included into your list sir

[NastyLeftHook0]

same here.

[negroguy]

Spyro, Crash, and sackboy should complete this.

[Xperia_ion]

Superbot has good taste so far. Capcom was making me pull my hair for the character selections in MvsC3 and SFVSTK.

[Sizzon]

Nice with jak and cole :)

Now for first party i hope for ratchet & clank and Nathan Hale

And for third party: solid snake and ezio

[Omar91]

The characters are shaping up to be really great!

the only problem is Im nervous because the game requires you to use super to kill your opponents. Whats gonna happen when you play this game 6 months down the line and get tired of all the supers? Its gonna happen at one point where people will just get tired of the same cinematic level 3's every time. I just hope it doesn't happen to me.

[user5467007]

Hopefully they'll add a mode like the one in Super Smash Bros Brawl either for launch or later on as DLC. I don't see why they don't do this anyway, it's nice to have a choice with how you want to play a game. They have a stock mode so their half way there.

[smashcrashbash]

I don't see why. No one gets tired of the same finishing moves in Mortal Kombat, or the same super moves in SSBB (and they only have one of those) or the same power attacks in Powerstone (they only have one of those too). In PASBR you have several combos, ten different skins, several modes and three levels of super attacks.

Plus the main thing isn't only the super attacks. It's how fast you can get them and how many points you can get killing your opponents before time runs out while avoiding death yourself. That is why fighting games have more then a few characters. So you can mix it up. How fast can you get tired of twenty plus characters with, according to Superbot, more to come.Besides the people who have actually played it say that it is not the problem that people keep claiming it is.

[NastyLeftHook0]

nice

[GaryOak]

So Cole was finally announced..... ........*Backflip* WOHOO! \o/

[Acquiescence]

but we all knew they were in the game from the start. Sackboy, Ratchet & Clank and Solid Snake are also guaranteed shoo-ins by this point. Where it gets interesting is when the characters who aren't on the cards get announced. Fellows like Sir Daniel Fortesque, Spike, Kat, Nariko, Wander, Crash: that's where the excitement really lies.

[DigitalRaptor]

OMG! Can't wait for the Wander/Colossus stage reveal. And you just know that will have to be epic to match the scale of that game.

[310dodo]

Loving these picks!!!

please super bot

C R A S H - B A N D I C O O T

[CRASHBASHUK]

i hope stupid actervision let them they have the copy right god help crash same for spyro

[CRASHBASHUK]

maybe hale and R&C might be anouced at the same time soon see at gamescom
hale power up could be how powerful he was at the end of R2
R&C power up could be gaint clank

[Raoh]

Cole was expected. Jak and Daxter is a nice surprise.

[Relientk77]

Happy about these 2 choices but I wanna see more characters lol

Give me Ratchet & Clank, Dart, Spyro, and Crash Bandicoot

[Rockoman16]

Wow, Jak's super looks a lot like Yoshi's σ____σ

[Rockoman16]

Lmao, oh yeah, and Cole's super is a ripoff of Snake's final smash, how original is that huh?!

[P_Bomb]

A hurricane and an ice quake are ripped off from Solid Snake? Um, what?

[Rockoman16]

@P_bomb, um, nope, i'm talking about that "level 3" super, look for the snake gameplay video and you'll see what i'm talking about, so yeah :P

[telekineticmantis]

from Marvel vs Capcom, you can't rip off a rip off.

[archemides518]

ok so whenever they announce ratchet, can they please announce at least 2 OTHER characters that we didn't already for sure know was coming????

[Ryo-Hazuki]

Snake and Cloud must be in the game. You would think it's common sense

[BitbyDeath]

I hope they still have heaps more to announce.

This sort of game needs like a minimum of 50 characters to really stand out from the pack.

Great choices so far but still many more i want to see.

[linkratos]

I don't think that's true. You can only have so many characters while maintaining balance. The makers of Smash Bros even said that they're reaching the limit of reasonable roster size at 35.

DLC could be a way around this of course. Every month or so release a new character, spending time before hand to make sure he's as balanced as possible.
And they could nerf/boost characters thanks to online similar to Team Fortress 2.

[UnitSmiley]

Great character reveals. I'm still eagerly awaiting for Cloud and Sephiroth to be in it though. That alone would do wonders for the roster in terms of adding diversity as well as pleasing a HUGE number of fans both in Japan (they still need more Japan characters) and in the West.

[infamousinfolite]

Even though I like what Superbot is doing I still can't see a shooter in a fighting game. I guess I'll just have to get use to it.

[Rad3c]

I dont kno if any will want him n i havent seen him n anybody's comment of character wanted but what about batman, i saw one guy mention joker, that will be awesome n i think batman will be sweet too,

[linkratos]

This is looking better than I thought it'd be. Sure it's a little bit of a copy cat, but it's kind of an unexplored genre. Competition can only mean good for Sony, Nintendo, and the consumers that buy these types of games.

I know it will probably not happen, but I would love the default dude from 3D Dot Game Heroes to be a character.

[MoB21]

Sora. Yuna. Cloud. Connor. Dwyane Wade, since we are doing 3rd party games supposedly (NBA 2k13).

[nerdkiller]

all original sony characters super sorryo and tink

[-Gespenst-]

I'm worried about Spyro. If he does make the game, there might be pressure from Activision to make him look like he does in the more recent games, which would suck.

I just hope that if he's in the game, one of his costumes is classic Spyro.

It's the only costume I'd use.

[rello91]

No crash no buy

[tigertron]

I'm hoping for:

Crash Bandicoot
Coco Bandicoot
Dr. Cortex
Sonic the Hedgehog
Shadow the Hedgehog
Amy Rose
Tails
Knuckles
Sackboy
Ratchet
Clank
Captain Quark
Dr. Nefarious
General Azumuth
Carmelita Fox
Bentely
Murray
Nathan Hale
Chimera
Lara Croft
Solid Snake
Spyro
Lightning Farron
Cloud Strife
Tifa Lockheart

[Unversed87]

Snake Sonic and Sora would be the best thing could happen to this game.

[Emilio_Estevez]

I like these choices, Cole will be a great addition.
