I'm not entirely sure why people think copying other games is so bad.

99% of games out there start with "this or these games are our inspiration. What did they do right and what can we do better?"


There's a difference between taking inspiration from something and basically reskinning a game. It honestly looks like they just upscaled brawl and reskinned characters. The fact they had Brawl in their office and are now tagging videos to try and direct people searching for SSB to their game is just the icing on the cake. I don't think even gameloft do that do they? 

I've seen people say ''Oh well there isn't a lot you can do'' but the party fighter genre has a lot of empty gaps. It's not like kart racing where honestly it is difficult to make something that is too different to Mario Kart. Personally I would have liked to have seen a power stone style game. I think it would work better with Sony's characters. 


I agree it's a pretty shameless ripoff but, again, it's not that big of a deal. SSBB was an amazing game, is it so bad we get another?

 

Its obvious Sony isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, they're just trying to fill a whole in their catalog and make a good game.  Can't really fault them for that. 

Yes you can, they are Sony so you must fault them even when it's neither possilble or necessary.

I think it's good, game wise. I mean Nin isn't going to bring SSB to Sony, so Sony will make one, thats gaming.


To put a rival companies game in your tags just to get hits, is just hilarious tho.... lol

"I don't trust #XboxOne & #Kinect 2.0, it's always connected" as you tweet from your smartphone - irony 0_o

That's truly sad and pathetic.

EDIT: Looks like they changed it to "Royale" and "Gameplay"

Well OK, but this is just the icing on the cake. For Jesus' sake, Battle Royale looks exactly like a SSB ripoff, I'm sorry!

Nonsense. Sony's game has compatibility between their console and their handheld. Totally new.

Except for the part where the WiiU and 3DS are supposed to be connected/compatible with each other:

So what's the problem? Everyone knows that copying other gaming companies' ideas is only bad if Nintendo or M$ does it.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

The tags explain the dislikes lol

The people pissing off are the ones denying it copying SSB. What those tags did was to discredit them and they disliked that. On the other hand, Sony wants people searching for SSB to see their videos.

Shakespear ripped off older stories and Greek Mythology all the time.

One just usually makes it a little less obvious, or blends it with other things. This one really looks like Super Mario Brother Brawl.

I wonder if it will include a story mode too!



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

What the hell are you talking about? People only bitch when Sony even remotely does anything SLIGHTLY similar to Nintendo's. e.g Move to Wii did you forget the uproar that surronds that?
