Rumor: Sony Developing Smash Bros-Style Brawler for PS3

[ThunderCavalier]

If Crash and Spyro can somehow make it into that...

PLEASE. I want to see the two fight it out. They were my favorite platforming characters of my childhood, and I cannot decide which one was better, so obviously the two need to duke it out for my <3.

Really, a rumour like this isn't anything to get hyped or angry over. I'd base my opinion on concrete things like confirmed rosters, not "maybes".

^This... Sooooooooo this.
I never had any real attachment to any of Sony's console exclusive characters, and there have been enough of these crossover things already, I'll pass.

...I don't know. It just seems kind of odd to me... But I would like to see a battle between Cloud and Wander.

I'm a little skeptical about this, but it does make me glad that somebody is finally going to challenge Smash Bros in the party brawler genre. Issue though is that it may be too little to late. I'm just not sure Sony has enough recognizable characters to fill up a roster and the fact that Smash Bros is such a long lived and recognized brand will make it difficult to compete with. However, if the price is reasonable and if it includes Jak from the Jak and Daxter series (please?), I may give this game a shot.

EDIT:

May I direct everyone's attention to this ad


yes we've all seen it before but look at all the characters in it that they've licensed from other companies.

Agent 47
Solid Snake
Lightning
Chell
Paul from Tekken
A little sister from Bioshock
the guy from Dead Space
and Ezio

All this for an ad.

Imagine what they'd do for this game (yeah it would be more expensive to license them for a game than for an ad but still).

I will admit, it would be awesome to see those characters in the game, though I personally doubt it (especially Snake, since he appeared in the competition).
Also, I did not see Chell in there, unless you are talking about the woman behind at check in, but that is really a stretch.

Just put in every Tekken char and we can call it a day ?

I don't wanna live on this planet anymore.

I don't care what characters they throw in, if there is no Sir Daniel Fortesque then I shall commit a fan rage the likes of which this internet has never seen.

I could play Pokemon Silver on my N64, so you're wrong about that as well.

Wrong fucking way. Playing a portable game on a home console isn't the same as playing a home console game on a dedicated portable system, though I guess if you're 6 (which, since you're a Nintendo fan, you probably are) it can be easy to confuse them.

If you've ever played the game, everything in the world of LittleBigPlanet is made from cloth. Or foam, or stone, or any of those materials. So Epic Yarn is basically LittleBigPlanet without the variety of substances. And those nubs, yes, Nintendo did blatantly rip that off from Arcades, but the idea of using two for the one players experience was an idea that Sony invented, and Nintendo copied shamelessly. And when Sony did it again for the Vita, Nintendo did it again shamelessly, even after they'd shamelessly ripped off the PsP, they tried to release a damn hardware patch to rip off the Vita, and do a poor job doing it.

Oh the "u liek nintendo so u must be a child" argument, how it makes me lol so very much.
You disregarded the technology gap between the N64 and the PSP, so I will not bring it up. Disregarding valid points seems to be an essential attribute that you Sony fanboys seem to have (as other posts in this topic have done). The best part of playing Silver on my N64 is that I could do things with my Pokemon in Stadium 2, and the things I did with them would be saved onto the game. Not the same as what the PSP does of course, but still quite cool to beat the Elite 4 with my OP pokemon rather than the really poor choices they give you.

I like how all of you assume that if Epic Yarn makes a game out of cloth, that another game has done before, then it is a blatant ripoff. Will you also say that Halo is a rip off of CoD because it also has guns? Or that Skyrim is ripping off Diabo 2 because it has a norse race?
A game is not ripping off another game if it has the same texture style, only an idiot would assume that.

Finally, what the fuck are you talking about? "two for the one players experience was an idea that Sony invented", so you are saying having 2 nubs on a controller is stealing from Sony? Well the Xbox controller has that. The only Nintendo controller to have that is the gamecube, and the c-stick is not used like a second stick in most games. Nintendo has had a d-pad and control stick since N64 days, they just haven't implimented it for handhelds until the 3DS. So they are stealing from themselves, not Sony.
I don't know what you are talking about with the Vita, so I will do what you did, and completely ignore it.

I don't see why companies can't just go and do every famous character and throw them into a SSB clone. I want to see Cmdr Shepard fight the Stranger from Oddworld stranger's wrath and then have Raz from psychonauts put the beatdown on both of them.

An interesting concept, but it has one small problem...
It's owned by Sony, and I refuse to do any further business with them.

Still, it's interesting to think of what sort of characters could go into such a game.
