I wonder if it's an Atelier character..hate or it love that series has been exclusively on the playstation brand for a while now right? And an Alchemist could be a very interesting addition. All the characters shown so far have been mainly close range melee characters with the exception of Radec

That is the only one I found with those colors. She isn't wearing a full dress though. :/

She obviously went shopping!

In all seriousness it definitely looks an RPG character..and that's not my area of specialty so my guesses aren't gonna be that good :D

anyone else have any ideas?

Examiners impressions

Sony has finally unveiled its Smash Bros themed game that has been rumored for months. The game is now calledPlayStation Battle All-Stars Royale. This new title is completely unnecessary, and Sony should have not put the game into production. While the game might turn out to be fun, the consumers of Baltimore should question Sony as to why it is blatantly ripping off Nintendo.

PlayStation Battle All-Stars Royal is nothing more than a cash grab at the casual market. Sony does not need a game like this. A lot of franchises associated with the PlayStation platform never made it to the big leagues. Parappa the Rapper is just one title that did not become a staple franchise. The casual crowd is not going to pick up Sony’sSmash Bros clone to play as Parappa. Sweet Tooth might have been popular back in the PS1 days, but he is no longer well known by today’s mainstream crowd. It is also doubtful that most people recognize where Fat Princess comes from. Since the majority of consumers have no idea who Sony’s characters are, then this game will probably fall flat when it releases.

Sony needs to stick to the foundation of what made PlayStation great in the first place. The PlayStation brand has never been about parties or local multiplayer. All of the biggest games on the platform have always focused on singleplayer gameplay. Games like Spyro, Crash Bandicoot,Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Jak and Daxter, God of War,Uncharted, and Infamous are all games that were built to be played by one person. Sony already tried to hit the casual crowd with the PlayStation Move, and the peripheral ended up being a moderate success. The company does not need to lose anymore money trying to woo people outside of its core users.

Sony seems to be losing its direction with the PS3. It first produces the game Little Big Planet Karting which will destroyModnation Racers property. now the company will fall deeper into the financial hole from creating PlayStation Battle All-Stars. Sony is in the middle of an identity crisis and needs to find itself again.

@ bolded..not half wrong actually

Theat couldn't be farther from the truth. Sony knows exactly what PS3 owners want. All-Stars is made specifically for these die-hard Playstation fans.
The Last of Us is a new IP directed at the core gamer. God of War Ascention is as well. LittleBigPlanet Karting is made for the more casual player and obviously meant to attract kids as well.

Whoever wrote that article seems mad that Sony is making games that aren't super gory and have super duper graphics.
There are plenty of PS3 owners who miss the Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games from the PS1 era. The Playsation fanbase is the most diverse out of the Big 3.

I was just pointing out the bit that made a little sense in that article. That is, the single-player focused games has been PS3's forte this gen ie Sony should focus on its core competencies. Resources are limited especially for a struggling company, it will be way wiser to invest in new core IP's. Its a valid suggestion.
