EDIT: What characters do you want to see in Playstation All Stars Battle Royale?

[PilgrimScott_III]

Cole MacGrath. Definitely. If he's not in there, I'm not buying.

 

[Starik20X6]

Sackboy
Cole MacGrath.
Sly Cooper
Tag (from ModNation Racers)

Also, as an out-of-left-field-er, the player character from 3D Dot Game Heroes.

Spoiler

my god Nathan drake vs. kratos. Yahtzee's dream has come true.
on a side note spyro and crash should be in it and snake since mgs4 was ps exclusive. o and Cole from infamous

 

[Gentleman Adventurer]

If they do make this I hope they don't try and make it super serious. Part of Smash Bros charm is the wacky idea of mascot fighting. That said...

-Nathan Drake
-Helgast Solider (They have way more personalty than all of the other MCs put together.)
-Kratos
-Guy from Resistance Fall of Man
-Sackboy
-Sly Cooper
-Ratchet and Clank
-Kevin Butler!

If it's not restricted to Sony IP, I'd love to see some final fantasy characters! Vivi in a smash bros style game? fuck yes!

If this game is limited to Sony IP, then they're going to have a really hard time pulling this off.

 

[not_you]

Alex Mercer? (yes, I know he's technically the virus but shut up okay?)

I mean, it's not purely PS IP, but... I'd want to play him...

And yet, I'd want to see the player-character "thing" from journey make it in there...
Sure, it doesn't do much, but, I'm sure they'd make SOME use for it...

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Sly Cooper
Bently
Murray
Nathan Drake
Victor GODDAMN Sullivan
Kratos
Amatarasu
Musashi
Travis Touchdown

That's all I can think of for now.

 

[RatRace123]

Ratchet
Jak
Sly

Don't care after that. Obviously the more fighters the better, but most of all I wanna see those 3 PS2 icons step into the ring.

 

[Iwata]

Most of the ones I want have been said, so I'll add simply two:

- Colonel Radec from Killzone 2
- The Maiden in Black from Demon's Souls
- Selvaria from Valryria Chronicles
- Wander from Shadow of the Colossus

 

[Nami nom noms]

No one has said lara croft? She was like the playstation icon throughout the 90's.

 

[Mana Fiend]

The wind from Flower. Come at me bro.

In all seriousness? I think most of the serious ones have already been mentioned. Croc please, and Spyro.

Putting my SSB fanboyism completely aside, I can't see this game being a success if it doesn't change the formula completely. I don't think Sony has enough character to pull a SSB style.
It just doesn't feel right with the character.

Sony's SSB would only work if it was something like Tekken, Mortal Kombat, or a 3D one like the DragonBall series. I just don't see the SSB charm working with most Sony character.

I'd say you are mistaken. My problem with SSB is exactly the characters (well, that and playing on the Wii). I don't care about Pokemon or Zelda, but I do like the likes of Cole or Parapa. It depends on who the game is marketed at, and since it's a Playstation game with Playstation characters, I think it will do quite well.

 

[Black Arrow Officer]

-Fatman from Metal Gear Solid 2. Imagine him rollerskating around while dropping bombs everywhere!

-Helghast Capture Trooper from Killzone. They seem to be the only melee-focused Helghast.

-Ethan Mars from Heavy Rain. I can imagine his "Final Smash" equivalent will be screaming "JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYSSSSOOOOOOOOOOON!" and propelling all the other fighters off the stage.

-I know he's not a Playstation exclusive, but Agent 47 from Hitman. The developers have stated their favorite platform is Playstation.

So you're really not seeing the super smash bros style fitting Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the dragon, Rachet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, Rayman, and Sackboy (and a number of their associated support or antagonist characters).


I can see it fitting pretty easily XD
Even other characters with bigger tonal differences could be made to fit if they handle it right, I mean we saw it in SSB with characters like snake standing along side ones like mario and pikachu while still passing it off ok.

Though I'm guessing that they purposely will not make it like super-smash bros specifically to differentiate them self from it, so they may well go a more 'fight-gamey' way of it like you're saying.

 

[lordlillen]

ratchet and clank
jack and daxter
sly cooper and bently
sora and riku
these are the characters i want to see.

 

[Furioso]

I would say some Persona characters, but they get their very own fighting game, so how bout Sack boy slaughtering people through toxic levels or adorable?

 

[Chester Rabbit]

I would love to see
Jersey Devil (unlikely I doubt anyone remembers him)
Gex
Raziel
and Abe(though he's not really a combat guy it would still be fun to see him farting all over people)
EDIT: Oh! and Rikimaru(Tenchu)

 

[ThePS1Fan]

Has anyone said Cortez yet?

Also Croc or is that Kroc?

I believe it's Croc, provided you are refering to the character from the PS1 game Croc: Legend of the Gobbos

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Probably the classics like Spyro and Crash, and maybe later stars like Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank. Oh, and maybe Cole McGrath too...
