PS All-Stars Updates: Crash Bandicoot, Cross play, Beta, Characters and More.

DualShock Nexus: Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale was the game we spent the most time with at PAX Prime this year and we have a lot to say about the game, but first we want to share all of the information we managed to pick from Omar Kendall's brain. We got some new info on Crash Bandicoot, DLC, cross play, private and public beta character updates and a whole lot more.

[Carl_Shocker]

Great so in a way...he's confirmed, I mean they wouldn't tease us on something like this only for them to go "Oh sorry...couldn't get him, shame huh" in the end, imagine the backlash. Hopefully they got Spyro aswell

The only other thing I'm worrying about now is what Crash they will use, I do not want to see that ugly looking one with the tribal tattoos and that ugly mask which is supposed to be Aku Aku yet has Grims voice off Billy and Mandy. Same goes for Spyros old design

As for DLC....just the characters they couldn't get, oh and the OLD dante, Raiden from MGS2 and more FF characters

[TheFinalEpisode]

If Crash is (almost)confirmed then Syro would be too since it's pretty much the same deal since they're both owned by Activision :D

[Army_of_Darkness]

Having crash I understand that and agree, I but seriously dont give a shit about spyro, a purple child dragon!? He was lame then and is still lame now. We better get cloud and sepiroth.

[Neo Nugget]

^ Aw hell naw.

[princejb134]

@army of darkness
Spyro would be awesome
Spyro to me could be equivalent to pika he from smash brothers
A four legged creature that can own many other characters if the player is good enough

[NastyLeftHook0]

i would love to see crash in the game.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

Yeah, I'm glad that there is finally assuring news that hints at the fact that Crash may be in the game which further hints that Spyro might be in the game as well.

[Tikicobra]

How would Spyro even play?

[Laika]

like a boss! and then some flames, ram attacks and head slams

[RmanX1000]

If they found a way for Fat Princess and Sackboy to be fully functional fighters, im sure they can get Spyro to have a few tricks.

[Scholarship]

His Legends trilogy had a combo system in it, so they'd probably just take from that.

[beerkeg]

Spyro won't be in it. You can quote me on that.

Unless he's in it, then don't quote me on it, I won't be available to commment. Unless I'm paid, obviously.

[Parappa]

If Crash is in the game then you'll definitely see him with the tattoos. They're using all of the newest models for their characters which is why they used the crappy versions of Cole with his tattoos.

[Griffin4871]

Spike's newest model looks like crap.

[Thirty3Three]

Actually, the newest model is from Nitro Kart 2. it looks pretty much exactly like Classic Crash. And if we do get Tattoo crash, I'm positive an alternate costume or preorder costume will be his CLASSIC outfit, if not vise versa.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

@Parappa

Actually, I loved that version of Cole.

[Soldierone]

IF Spyro is in it, it will be the Skylanders version since Activision will want to be advertising that.

Crash though, I don't see why they can't use the old one. Its not like he is doing anything right now. It'd be even more awesome if Sony announced they bought the rights back.

[HammadTheBeast]

You mean the one that looks like it got run over?

[NBT91]

To be honest a new Crash game would not really "work", the games were very short unless you went for 100% completion, and even then there are videos of people achieving that unbelievably quick.

Basically a new Crash game would need to have free roaming in it and what not, which is what ruined the series in the first place. It only works as an old school platformer and in the days of Call of Duty, Uncharted, GTAV etc... I just dont think a new Crash game using the classic formula and gameplay would really be justifiable as a full blu ray game purchase.

Play Crash 2 or even 3 again and then compare it to Ratchet and Clank, or Jak and Daxter and you will see what I mean.

[WeskerChildReborned]

Definitely want an old Dante.

[NastyLeftHook0]

smh at the new dante

[smashcrashbash]

I hope that was a confirmation of Crash's existence in the game. And I am sure they will use original Crash for the game. Since Activision is not using Crash for anything right now I am certain there is no reason why they would insist to use the Crash with the tattoos.Also I am glad they confirmed that there will be more then 20 characters. That leaves room for a few more hopefuls unless it is only one more or something. Still hope for Tomba, Old Snake, Spyro and Cloud

@ Tikicobra on all fours just like in the game probably using his fireballs, flying abilities and dash attacks.His super attacks probably would involve his friends stepping in to help him.

[RmanX1000]

If you listen closely that is the sound of every PS Fanboy asking for Crash, fainting in ecstasy.

I am glad they pretty much got him. He deserves to be in this. As long as they use classic and not the new one. Or have both as skins.

[GammaSix]

he needs to be in the game,

he will be my main!

[nevin1]

Fruit Bazooka was great weapon in Crash 3.

Anyway, shouldnt Sony/Super Bot be worried this game is being released in November with other highly games?

[WillGuitarGuy]

I could see the fruit bazooka being a level 2 super in the game. As for release date I don't think it'll be a problem seeing as that it's being hyped by a lot of fans.

[Relientk77]

Omar also said "stay tuned" for a Final Fantasy character

so I think 2 new characters that are yet to be revealed are a FF character and Crash Bandicoot

I hope another is Spyro the Dragon

:)

[Thirty3Three]

I agree, 100%! On both of those points!

Also, I LOVE your name! Fantastic Christian band!

[wollie]

ha! I love relient K

such an awesome band.

on topic: crash ftw!

[Thirty3Three]

I totally agree, Wollie! Amazing band!

I don't know why I got 4 dislikes, but to each his own, eh? Probably Atheists hating me just because I'm Christian. We're all human, not that different.

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

Four more characters.

Crash and Nathan Hale (or a Chimera) will be announced.

Spyro and Cloud will be announced.

This is obviously a guess, but it would be nice.

[Darth Stewie]

Polygon man will be the final boss because all info on him from wikipedia was removed all of a sudden right after PSABR was announced and people were speculating him so Sony deleted his info.

[IG-88]

If the final boss was Kevin Butler i would lose it! :D

[zerocrossing]

If not Kevin Butler should be DLC at the very least xD

Would love to see Cloud, Crash, Spyro, Big Boss/Snake(naked or otherwise lol) and I know this is pushing it but Jehuty would make for a awesome inclusion! :D

[-Gespenst-]

Jehuty's like 40 foot tall! OP!

[CShadow]

5 characters left. My guess is Crash, Big Boss, Cloud, Sora, and Ico. At least 3 will be true.

[smashcrashbash]

Nah. I am thinking Wanderer,Crash,Kat, maybe Cloud, maybe Spyro,Tomba and Old Snake.The Ico boy would only be there if his background was there but from the latest leaks it actually might be SOTC which implies Wanderer.

[CShadow]

5 characters left. My guess is Crash, Big Boss, Cloud, Sora, and Ico. At least 3 will be true. Wow u just beat my comment by 1 minute.

[-Gespenst-]

There was a leak that I'm pretty sure wasn't legit which showed Tomba on the character select screen, I sure hope that's true.

Crash, Spyro, Lightning / Cloud, Ico / Wander and Tomba. They're the characters I want. Sadly I can only see Crash making it and maybe one of the FF characters...

[NastyLeftHook0]

crash? really?

[WillGuitarGuy]

Get out.

[J86blum]

I want Snake ps1 style(maybe twin snakes graphic wise.) and perhaps Cloud, and Croft. Eiji Shinjo from battle .Arena Toshinden since it was HUGE on ps1. and Ayame or Rikimaru from Tenchu.

[Lucretia]

needs Big Boss, Cloud strife, and Kasumi from dead or alive....or ayane....or ryu hayabusa, haha just was trying push more female characters.

will i get killed for saying Lightning from ff13?

[Tales RPG addict]

I saw a leaked pic and silhouette of Ryu Hayabusa.

[Tales RPG addict]

People think oh yeah so this is a Super Smash Bros. Clone. Yes it is but Super Smash Bros. is a clone of THE OUTFOXIES. DO Your research people, Nintendo isn't the innovator Nintendtards make them out to be. Zelda isn't the true originator of Action-RPG's, quite the contrary. DRAGON SLAYER by Nihon Falcom is the true Grandfather of Action-RPG's and it came out in 1984.

[Kureno_Nakamura]

FF Confirm Speculation
People want Cloud

Sephiroth: Why would you allow a mere puppet to represent MY world? *talking about Cloud*

My speculation is Sephiroth or Cloud for the FF confirm, I'd say both have an equal chance due to popularity

Crash Bandicoot of course

Kat

MGS1 era Solid Snake

[axerated]

Surely solid snake has to be be in there somewhere, both games where he was the central character (mgs and mgs 4) were on playstation consoles but not on others, he's literally the main icon for ps, for me at least. And Nintendo bloody had him in smash brothers just cos they had one mgs game, well not fair!
Also wander and some resistance character would be welcome, wander could call agro to charge through the screen or some shit...

[CShadow]

Big Boss (snake) was on more PS systems then any other. Hope he makes it.
MGS3 (ps2,ps3,psv),
Peace Walker(PSP,ps3,psv)

[J86blum]

How could they NOT include SNAKE or even raiden I mean he is PS2 be it we like him or not, and they drop a BIG DADDY, the lead from Cravity Crush? im not hating on them but show respect to those who pushed systems before introducing very new characters.
