Forums - Sony - So sony getting their own Smash Bros?

Didn't saw any thread about it while it was announced yesterday evening..o_o..

Anyway:


The time is now for the big PlayStation 3 game reveal!

October 31, 2011

Paul Gale Network is proud to reveal one of PlayStation 3′s surprise games, but before I do, there are a couple of things that I won’t be putting in this article: the name of the game, publisher, developer, pictures, video, percent complete, and release date. That being said, the surprise game that I have for you is:

Sony’s equivalent of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

This is real and this is awesome. The game plays on a 2D plane much like Smash Bros. does, with plenty of Sony branded characters making up the combatants. Just who are some of these playables? This isn’t a full revealing, so I’ll tell you the following: Kratos, Sly Cooper, Nathan Drake (Uncharted), Fat Princess, Parappa, Sweet Tooth, and Rico (Killzone).

The stages are vibrant and varied, just like in Smash Bros., and the style of play is geared towards people that like that series. Expect pretty colorful backgrounds (when appropriate), such as in Misty Island from Jak and Daxter and LittleBigPlanet. In the latter of the two, much like the game it stems from, there are all sorts of cool objects spawning all throughout your match, adding a lot of fan service to the level.

:o



wat.

Sounds fake. Who the fuck is this guy?



Sony has some cool games but Sony doesn't have the Icons that Nintendo has. Maybe a game like this can push their franchises but, unless the toss in a bunch of third party characters, I just don't see a huge demand for this game. If Sega was doing it, I'd be all in. Sony or Microsoft, not so much.

And like badgenome said, it just feels fake.

On second thought, I think it's real. Mainly because I'm afraid that if I don't this guy will kick my ass and then make love to me in a grotto.

This picture just screams credibility.

I don't buy this.



thread already exists



Well such a title has been rumoured since N64, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Sony actually did launch a title like this. Sony is known for taking competitors concepts and doing there own thing with them. I am sort of surprised that more SmashBros style 2D fighting games don't exist. I mean their is the Ninja Turtles game and that Cartoon network one. But over all Sega didn't bite when DreamCast was failing, Sony didn't bite and Microsoft doesn't have enough first party franchises or characters to actually make a game like SmashBros.

I do think this is fake simply because very few details are given. If the information he has is so sensitive and he can't reveal all of these facts why would he have Sony's permission to announce the software in the first place? If he doesn't and he has a source he should still be spilling more then this. I know protecting your source is very important but nobody will take you seriously if you have nothing remotely factual to back it up.

I think a Sony Smash Bros could potentially sell up to 6-million copies if the console its launched on flourishes. That would not be that bad at all, also I agree with other users that third party characters might be necessary for the title to succeed. Sony's franchises are big but without Final Fantasy characters or Metal Gear Solid characters or characters from other Sony based third party franchises they are set to lose out to Nintendo.

My suggestion for characters would include several games. Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid is a must, Sony should also negotiate with Kojima to not allow Nintendo to place Snake in the next SmashBros. Then Crash and Spyro are both important they were two of Sony's biggest franchises on PSOne and like Nintendo's old characters (Example: IceClimbers)they are important despite slower sales these days the titles. Cloud from FF7 is a must more important then even Snake. The lead protagonist from GTA5 should make an appearance. leon or another lead character from Resident Evil should be in the game and lastly a character from Tekken should also be present.

Sony needs to ensure the game features almost all of the biggest characters in Sony gaming. They should have a roster of about thirty characters and of those thirty at least ten should be third party.

this has already been posted and it won't turn out well considering the list of characters given.



This is REALLY old and Sony doesn't have the characters/mascots to pull it off.
