It would be the worst idea, ever. I wouldn't mind a Gears of War (Epic IP) crossover with Halo or something where two or more similarly themed franchises came together but something on the scale of Nintendo's Smash Bros. just shouldn't be done. Nintendo's characters seem to be able to coexist together--remember the old cartoon "Captain N". Microsoft's characters just don't seem to have that. Maybe a bunch of Rare characters or a bunch of Twisted Pixel characters, but a company wide crossover? Hell no. |
Microsoft barely has the any characters synonymous with them and famous enough to do it. Gears and Halo are the most famous characters built on the Xbox. The Fable character is so generic can anyone even remember his name? Microsoft should give full credit for a game like that Solely to Rare who have been making great characters since the NES era and call it Rare Champions or something. Microsoft themselves aren't at that level yet.

for me the sony characters aren't more famous than the microsoft characters. for me, master chief, joanna dark, banjo, conker, splosion man, kameo and so on are as famous as sly, kratos, drake, jak and ratchet.
i only played god of war and uncharted but i played all games with characters i mentioned from microsoft. you don't know them as good because you didn't play those games but you can say that even to a new character like drake. just ask people owning an xbox or wii but not surfing in forums like this after drake. they won't have a clue who that is.
a good friend of mine had the playstation and playstation 2 but bought the 360 then. he doesn't surf in interent forums like this. i could bet with you even when he plays videogames some hours every day (he is a little bit addicted) that he has no clue who drake is.
more people know the playstation characters because more had a playstation but for the n64 and xbox owners the microsoft/rare characters are as famous as the playstation characters for playstation owners. i would say only nintendos characters are famous on the whole planet, even for people who did never have a nintendo console. but just because they aren't as famous doesn't meant that the game couldn't be successful. if the sony game will sell like 5 million copies the 360 one could sell like 2.5 million or so which would be good. i have no clue how much the playstation game will sell but i think it will be very successful. maybe i'm totally wrong but this forum alone shows how much is going on since the announcement. more posts in one thread than halo, god of war and some other have together.
i mean, it's not only about the own charactes you need characters from other companies as well and there, nobody will have a better collection if you do it right.

For you Sony characters might not be that great, but heres something that cannot be disputed, theres your opinion and a fact. You dont have to like something of Sony's for it to be great. Theres people who refuse to play a Zelda or Kirby game but cannot deny their effect on the gaming industry. Don't attack Nathan drakes character when the franchise has sold over 17 million copies in one generation. Uncharted is an amazing franchise with an amazing protagonist and characters to bounce his character off of. Theres movie stars who want to play as Nathan Drake and Sony pictures could make it happen. It would be a hit.

i don't attack nathan drake...lol? i just said that almost nobody knows this guy if he isn't someone surfing in gaming forums. yes it sold 17 million games this doesn't change the fact that most of them bought uncharted 1, 2 and 3 and then you only have a much smaller group and if you ask wii, pc or xbox gamers they have no clue who mr. drake is if they aren't in forums like this (which is only a small part of gamers). i love uncharted games, he is still well unknown for most people. it's not like tomb raider or so, well known character even for people who didn't have those games
you are funny, i'm attacking nathan drake as character because i said he isn't very popular outside the gaming forum and playstation owner world? hope he won't read what i wrote...
and when did i say sony characters aren't that great? did you read something different because the post wasn't in your favour? i said they aren't more famous for me than microsoft characters, why does this mean for you: "they aren't that great for him"? i have only the 360 and ps3 which would mean i don't like exactly the characters of the consoles i own? and if it is because i said "i only played uncharted and god of war but all games with the characters i mentioned from microsoft", i said it because i had as example a n64 but no playstation. if i would have owned a playstation or ps2 i would have played these games as well in the past and yeah only with playstation i wouldn't have played conker or perfect dark.
