Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale (PS3/PS Vita)

[Shizuka]

Over the last couple of days, rumors have been furiously circulating concerning a PlayStation 3-exclusive fighting game in the style of Nintendo's ubiquitous Smash Bros. series. This game, apparently called (or code-named) Title Fight, has been talked about at a personal blog called The Paul Gale Network over several posts, with the writer apparently having an inside source at the game's developer, purported to be SuperBot Entertainment.


As noted by Eurogamer, SuperBot Entertainment's website confirms at the very least that it's an exclusive developer for Sony Computer Entertainment America, and that it's currently toiling away on a PS3 exclusive, giving some credence to the rumor. Eurogamer also points to job advertisements posted by SuperBot Entertainment, advertisements that ask for developers with experience working on fighting games.


According to the report on Paul Gale Network, fighters are rumored to include Kratos (God of War), Parappa the Rapper (Parappa the Rapper), Nathan Drake (Uncharted), Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper), Fat Princess (Fat Princess), Colonel Mael Radec (Killzone) and Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal), shown below from a screen grab posted on that site. The final roster is rumored to include more than 20 Sony characters.


We reached out to Sony about this rumor, and per its usual standard, Sony responded that it does not comment on rumors and speculation. We will update when we hear more, but in the meantime, sound-off in the comments below and let us know who you'd want to see in a Sony's Smash Bros-style game.

This... doesn't really sound appealing at all. Not a fan of most Sony-exclusive franchises(at least those recognized by Sony).

[Shizuka]

What about IGN's dream roster?

Doesn't seem very appealing to me..unless they added HDn and Sqaure characters or something >.>

Doesn't interest me at all, since Smash Bros. wasn't that fun to me and this would be worse, in my opinion.

I can see some obvious characters being:

Cole
Nathan Drake
SackBoy
Kratos

[Alura--x--Uneii]

None of those are particularly interesting to me though.

Going only first-party is a mistake. They should bite the bullet and get other dev's support in there. We'll just have to see how it goes though. It's just in rumor status now, lots could change, or end up being wrong.

[Alura--x--Uneii]

Yeah it seems to only be characters that are popular in the states anyway O.o

[Prinapocalypse]

None of those are particularly interesting to me though.

Their not that interesting to me either.

I think their going to be in the game though.

There are a couple cool sounding characters on that IGN list, Jeanne and Arc. But I would be very surprised if they ended up in the game.

They'd have to get third party characters in it to make me more interested.

[Alura--x--Uneii]

Yeah like Vert :p then again we already have Marvel Vs. Capcom so yeah..

This. Nothing is confirmed, not even the game itself.

If this is true

whats the more shameless rip off


this


or move?

[Darcnova]

I dunno, I really can't see characters from Sony's First/Second party games actually being able to come together and make a fun Smash type game...each character of theirs just seems too different when compared to what nintendo pulled out for SSB

And I'd say this would be the most shameless

[Shizuka]

If Sony does it right, I won't hold it against them.

[Alura--x--Uneii]

Well don't most companies keep everything a secret?
