I guess I just don't see the point in it. Sony doesn't really have that many interesting characters for a game of this nature and I just think they can spend time and effort on something more worthy than a title like this.

Meh. I don't see the appeal of this game. I agree with Amy, Sony simply doesn't have the IP to make this game interesting imo. Btw, it is impossible not to compare this Smash, I mean, the first one felt like Sony's answer to Smash. It was like they absolutely had to have a Smash like game for the sake of it. I don't have a problem with Smash being cloned btw, I don't think PSA went far enough. They should go full Smash cause I feel that works way better as a brawler game with PS characters.

I dont really get this sentiment tbqh. Not enough mainstream IP, sure. But the game doesn't need everyone to be mainstream characters to work. Sony has enough strong and semi-strong IPs to get appeal for the game (throwing in some 3rd party characters helps of course).

Ultimately what the game needs is a bigger budget, and a developer with more pedigree. 

 

I just disagree with this. I mean, we are ultimately comparing it to Smash if we like it or not. And in comparison, Sony just doesn't have to big recognizable iconic strength with its IP as let's say Pokemon, Mario or Zelda (Nintendo's big IP) and many smaller ones. They also have gotten good iconic third party characters in. Granted, Sony does have a wide range of 3rd party characters to choose from as well, but we didn't see that much last time, so I feel it won't happen this time. Do you see Megaman, Sonic, Pacman etc coming to this game?
