I just thought about it guys. We shouldn't be displeased actually.

I know fans of Coca Cola weren't too happy when Pepsi came out and made their version. But at least it was good too. That's what I see here. Of course, you'll get these wacky versions of Coca Cola that just have no reason of existence like Kiri Cola or something like that, but Pepsi has a good flavor and its own good marketing.

Even though these two game have such strong similarities (more than expected within a genre), it does have some subtle yet important differences, and you know what, it gives more exposure to the genre and will boost sales of both flavors and it's good for the market, it's good for the gamer.

But let's call a spade a spade, it is a rip-off, but it will have its own place, and an important one at that I hope (I changed my mind on this).


Hmm... While the Pepsi vs Coke argument is a very good one, there is also the Guitar Hero vs Rock Band one which seems to have killed Guitar Hero (along with the entire genre) faster than necessary.

Anyway, that's just a possibility (and I'm not even sure if that's a valid comparison). So, let's just hope good stuff comes out of this =)

It's not like smash bros did this stuff first, you guys didn't enjoy the arcades I bet, a lot of games were like this, for example a game called outfoxies (YouTube it ), I really hate Nintendo fans when they act like Nintendo created gaming and created everything first, shut the fuck already, you sound worse than those apple fanboys.

My gripe with this game is actually not the originality, it's the fact that it looks lame, super lame and uninteresting, you should have gave this type of game to SCEJ not some unknown developer who is lacking in talent, I was actually excited for pararappas character now he looks lame as well , and the gameplay is lame as well, IN MY OPINION It's mediocre like the most of SCEA's games. (I greatly prefer SCEJ and SCEE)

... but SCEJ is blatantly lacking in talant, especially from a technical perspective when it comes to the PS3.

I don't see how you can honestly look at this game and say it's not a clone. They're obviously lacking in funds and need a reality check, sony fans make me lol.

Until now there's only time limit and stocks.the devas are making this mechanic its main difference form smb, so i doubt they will put anything to replace it. The fact that you apparently cant die form falling of the stage is also too forgiving. 


I'm sure there are penalties for that such as you lose all your AP. You also lose points I'm guessing. The one with the most KOs wins so maybe K/D ratio comes in to play here.

hope so, but taking away stock or health if it existed would make it more important and would give players another strategy and a way to turn around tables.

I'm sure there will be a mode for that. 
Even Smash Bros lets you play around in different modes with different rules.

I don't mind a franchise copying another franchise. Some of my favorite games are just copies or "spiritual successors" of other games. I'm not even a big Smash Bros. fan. Here's my big gripe with this particular game:

With Super Smash Bros., we have a game where all of Nintendo's big franchise characters face in a huge epic battle. It may not have been the first of its genre but it did offer a lot of unique twists. There may have been other games that did a "four player battle royal" concept but side by side, none of them would be mistaken for Smash Bros. Smash Bros. is basically "The Nintendo experience" in a single video game form.

With Playstation All Stars Battle Royal, it seems that the game that says "This is the Sony experience" is really saying "The Sony experience is just the Nintendo experience with Sony characters."

Shouldn't the game that could potentially be considered the ultimate culmination of everything Sony be a bit more.....unique?

It is unique. We only have a few minutes of footage and you can already see the differences and unique-ness of the game.

1. Stages are a mixture of 2 worlds. All of them.
2. Variety. We got characters from violent, killer Kratos to a rapping dog. With Smash Bros, its preetty much limited to family friendly characters. Feel free to disagree.

No. What the game is saying is "Here's what you asked for". We are listening to our community.

SCEJ hasn't put out a great game in years. In fact I don't even think I own ANY SCEJ games at all, ever.

This game had to be done by a western studio. Pretty much all of Sony's IPs are western. So it only makes sense. Did you know SuperBot Entertainment was built specifically to work on this game?
