Who else will they put?  The cars from Wipeout?  The only person they haven't announced yet that should be in the game is Snake and Sephiroth.


Uff, you've opened a can of worms now.  Honestly, this is all just based on my opinion and my perception of Sony characters but:

Characters who I'm 99% certain are going to get announced soon:

Ratchet & Clank; Sackboy.

Characters that have represented the Playstation at various points in its life that haven't been announced yet:

Crash; Spyro; Spike/Specter; Cloud/Sephiroth; Lara Croft; Solid Snake; Gabe Logan; Chris Redfield/Jill Valentine; John Tanner; Anyone from GTA; Dante; Ico/Wander.

Honestly, I could make an argument for any of those characters over Kat based on a variety of things ranging from sales to association with the brand.  And don't get me wrong, either - I do like Kat and I understand why it would be important for her to be in the roster (increased awareness of the Vita, first mascot for the system etc.), if I'm coming across as hating the character then I don't mean to at all.

I just feel like PASBR should be a celebration of 18 years of the life of the Playstation - and I thought Parappa was a sign of things to come and we'd see a lot more flirtings with the older characters who used to be representative of the systems.  With only 10 or so spots left to fill I just think it's important they really hit up those nostalgic spots, but I think that's kind of unlikely to happen by this point.

Crash and Spyro are out of Sony's control, same with anyone from Resident Evil.  I mentioned those two already and I'm sure Snake will be in the game, though they'll probably use Lightning instead of Sephiroth since Lightning was in the Michael commercial.  Logan's as big as Kat now, or rather unknown, the last two Syphon Filters haven't exactly lit the world on fire.  No idea who Tanner is.  Anyone from GTA is out of Sony's control.  And Ico/Wander are about as big as Kat.  Only Lara's missing, and again, doesn't belong to Sony.

That and didnt they say she wouldnt be in the game?

 

I also agree that Lightning will be placed in and not sephiroth, if they put sephiroth, they would of had to put Cloud in first.

Who knows?  But with the way Microsoft is trying to buy out Tomb Raider, cause you know, it's as big as it was in 1996 and worth paying money for, I don't think she will be.
