Disappointing, and pathetic. Who the fuck is fat princess? or this dog with the hat? Sony disappointed me a second time this year. This is just sad. I really love Sony and my PS3, but this is embarrassing how can you possibly justify such a cheap knock off?

Ummm because it's what we wanted?

I wonder what the word count in this thread is for "embarrassing". Calm down brothers.


What we wanted?

Whos is we? You might be right, we wanted to a game were Playstation Characters fight each other, something like Marvel vs. Capcom or Super Smash brothers. but I think we didn´t wan´t Super Smash brothers HD. And let me ask you something brother, do you really think this game will be commercial and or critical success?  

 

I admit the word "embarassing" doesn´t really fit, I used to dramatize my post.


So then they could call it a MvC rip-off? And possibly make fun of it for not copying the superior brawler? lol?

Yes, this will be a commercial success, easily. Critical? Hmmm....maybe not, but I can see it selling at least 1.8m and at max 4-5m

What are talking about?

I doubt that it will sell more then 1.5 mil and crtitcaly I expect something between 7-8

... just saw the gameplay. I mean we know they had copies of super smash bros in their office but come on that is kinda ridiculous.

Not to mention the first characters shown and it's already as embarrassing as I feared it would be. Radec from Killzone? ..... yes he's almost as well known as pikachu I believe. Fat Princess? It was a good game but again a totally forgettable character from only a few years ago.

It just looks like such an embarrassing cheap knock off. It's the type of thing you would expect to see posted on youtube as ''Chinese knock-off of SSB found!'' alongside videos of the Vii and other knock off consoles.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that if someone like Gameloft made this then EVERYONE would be disgusted. But because it's Sony suddenly some people think it's fine. 

Who cares if Fat Princess is a forgettable character? Its still a Sony one, what do you expect, Pikachu to be in PS All Stars? If you're gonna act like this then just don't watch any gameplay videos anymore cuz when Sony shows some PS1 and PS2 characters from 15 years ago you might faint.

Ness was included because he was a mostly forgotten character from an old popular series. Notice how I have no problem with Parappa the rapper, because he's great. An old fan favourite brought back. FP however is ..... well nothing. 

Again I love how the Sony fans think this is fine but when mobile companies bring out something like Rolando they are up in arms. 

The fact is you can do this genre without it being a total knock-off. Jump Super stars springs to mind as being a pretty unique take. Whereas we know this developer was playing Smash bros and it seems they simply took as much as they could.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. If you're going to copy a game, why not copy the very best one?

Also, a lot of people I know have played fat princess. It was so popular at release, that it almost brought psn to a halt. It's a 32 player game that was very popular for over a year. Of course, you really have to be a sony gamer...it's a psn game, ya know? I don't expect lots of people to know about it, but likely lots of ps3 owners know it very well.

I think you're right, but in order to be, Cloud (or some mega famous character in japan) must be in the game!

lol seriously you think that`s the whol character list then 6 that they showed? there's probably going to be 40 more characters thats the purpose of "debut" trailers...and these are really popular characters for your information.

You're really setting the bar low there with 1.5 mil. I'd say it'll sell at least 2.5 mil.



Signature goes here!

Fat Princess was a great game, nobody is forcing you to play as her. This game is all in fanservice to PS fans, some people will love Parappa, others will love Jak, another group will adore Ratchet and so on and on. Me personally I loved SSB and I will love this game too. I think u only hate his game becoz "Sony is teh makez teh copiezz" and not look at the fact that there is another fun brawler game like SSB.

Yeah I think they have shown all characters allready, and every additional character will be DLC and cost 5€.

 

I think you misunderstood me. I just asked who those characters are. And I am sure there will be at least 20 characters in there if not more.
