Why is this game getting some much hate. It's unreal.

**simonyui** · 07-10-2012

My friends and I are happy with this game. We like Super Smash Bros. but seeing Sony characters also fight is fun.
We like Nintendo and Sony. I don't know why people should hate. Most people I know like it. Especially Toro is new character.

**The Cage** · 07-10-2012

Because it can't compete with SSB games.

**DeviousOne** · 07-10-2012

The obvious reason would be what everyone has already specified which is its very similar to SSMB from the LOOKS of it.

is it HATE or disappointment? Maybe a combination of both. I have NO interest but I am interested in seeing how well the game does when its release sept 14th?

I dont see this game being a success as big as the SSMB series but hey i can be wrong?

First: I read it as "so much hate". I didn't catch it until you said something. xD

Second: I totally agree, I think this is gonna be a great game. Though it may not be ground-breaking, it's definitely a title that I wanna get. I mean what other Playstation game is a multiplayer game that really brings people to play together for what could be so often? I see it as a breakthrough for Sony, something they could really thrive off of if the game has a great feel to it. I for one love the idea of what this game will be. Especially if they do it right and there are little to no broken characters in the game.

When was the last time anyone competed with Nintendo in that particular genre?

I'd say Power stone for dreamcast woudlve been the only comparable game. 4 player fighting game..

**Silver_Knight** · 07-10-2012

Supersmash bros is a genre in my opinion. So of course when you make a game that has the same genre it's gonna be up the same alleyway so to speak.

Many try? PSABR will be the second game of this kind/genre AFAIK.

**Nitey** · 07-10-2012

I think it's refreshing to see someone enter the genre dominated by SSB for many years. Though people seem to forget that it was actually Sega who first did a mix charactar fighter all those years ago, SSB has made the genre it's own. Hopefully All Stars turns out to be a good game, I like what I've seen so far and now seems a better time than ever for Sony to go ahead with something like this, considering they've been in the games industry for a long time now, they've got a ton of IP and 3rd party IPs that are synonymous with the PS brand to choose from. It all makes sense ^.^

Like people have said though, it's the obvious copy catting that is off putting. But then again if it's a good game, it's a good game. It needs to have some unique elements to it for it to really succeed though

Yea but this was a more traditional one on one fighting game and was only release in arcades.... I think power stone is more comparable with the exception of franchise mascots involved

I meant, many try to compete with nintendo games not SSB

I was referring to Fighters Megamix on the Saturn. It was also a one one one fighting game, but was the first to have charactars from different games fighting against one another. Like I said SSB has made that idea/genre it's own, and rightfully dominates

In terms of gameplay Power Stone is definitely the most comparable with SSB. I was talking more about the idea of mixing charactars from different games into a fighter, which isn't what Power Stone is, as far as I know

**DeviousOne** · 07-10-2012

PASBR will be the first DIRECT competition to SSB series should be interesting. I'd def like to get my hands on it and play it but even then i dont think that would be enough for me to warrant a purchase.

I agree, also the game doesn't really have many chars and the gameplay looks limited

**Cloudie** · 07-11-2012

All this game needs is Sackboy, Nariko, and the original Dante or Virgil from Devil May Cry and I'm sold. Heihachi was a good start since I'm a Tekken fan but I'm still on the fence right now.

**D3seeker** · 07-11-2012

Perhaps IF everyone seen in ~~the original teaser~~ is in it, then I may give it a chance. ~~where is that video anyways?,....~~

Silly me

I really meant this vid

**A7MAD** · 07-11-2012

I agree with what Abdou23 posted earlier.

What I saw of it from E3 had nothing to offer me personally, but there was nothing wrong with the title either, it should please those looking for a SSB esque title with Playstation stars.

**konamild** · 07-11-2012

cant wait for it. should be decent if its anything like super smash bros.

I'm with you on this. I'm trying to figure out why anyone would be mad that a game was like SSB. It could be worse. It could be modeled after that TMNT fighting game.

**Don Oliveira** · 07-12-2012

If you've been reading our features, you guys would know how excited I am for this game. It's going to be great.

Question: Do you view Kinect as Copy-paste of Eyetoy? If so, then fine. You can say that about Playstation all-star battle too.

I think it could be cool, and it does change up the SSB formula a bit, too. It's not 100% copy paste.

**The Cage** · 07-12-2012

I still say Nothing tops SSB

**Versus** · 07-13-2012

Personally, I just don't feel PlayStation has to great history and roster of characters to warrant an "All-Star" brawler game like Nintendo does with SSB. Plus we all know it won't have to amazing soundtrack SSB has either.

Nobody is going to give a shit about most characters in PS All Stars. So at the end of the day, it's going to be an off brand SSB that people are going to make fun of. I'm personally not buying it because I think it's going to be a joke.

LOL what and what? I think PlayStation has a very rich history and roster of characters, probably one of the most diverse out there actually. As someone who has been a PlayStation gamer since the launch of the O.G PS, I certainly give a shit about the chance of having all of the characters spanning over 15 years in one brawler. You sound a bit bitter that Sony is moving in on the genre...
