Forums - Sony - Why doesn't Sony make...

A fighting game with it's characters like Nintendo does with smash brothers? I'm sure everyone has thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so why don't they do it? It would surely sell well if it's decent, which Sony developed games always are if not very good. And it would be a great way to increase the brand value of the different characters assuming many people would purchase the game that may not necessarilly be too familiar with all the characters. They have guys like Kratos, Ratchet, Drake, Jak, Infamous guy, Folklore characters, Nariko, Ico, knight from white knight chronicles, Sir Daniel, Logan, nathan hale, rogue galaxy and dark cloud characters, and I'm sure there are a bunch of characters they could easily get license for like Snake, Cloud,  Spyro, and some others. 

It doesnt have to be exactly like smash brothers but anything that is 4 players and easy to play would be perfect. Fighting games is also a genre that Japan likes so it could appeal to all three regions. And it is a type of game that the PS3 lacks right now. LBP is the only other game that a group of friends could sit around together and play all night long while eating pizza and hanging out or whatever. Maybe Buzz and singstar, but those game are way too niche.

Because it would be a blatant rip-off and more than likely wouldn't bode well for them whatsoever regardless of it sold well or not.



Sony would have about 10-14 characters they could use....

They should get CAPCOM to do it as a new series of Capcom vs. Sony... or atleast license the SFIV engine from CAPCOM and tweak it to their liking.

Hmmm...they could make it the next title in the Play Create Share genre.

I want Media Molecule to make it!

Regardless of if it was a blatant rip-off or not, I would buy it for sure. I've been wanting a game like that for awhile. There actually was a thread a couple months ago where everyone listed what characters they would want in a game like that.

Capcom made one for the PS2 called Onimusha Blade Warriors.

Haha so was Atari Karts

 

The real reason is because Kratos would kill everything that moves. Even if the other 20 or however many characters teamed up against him he would still win.



Let's all bombard Sony with emails!

That would be cool. Snake vs. Ratchet....Kratos vs. Cole, Wesker vs. Hale
