Out of curiosity, does anyone actually care that much about Playstation Allstars? Also, didn't Sony fire the original company they were working with on the game? I just don't see the appeal of the game, mostly because I'm sick of Sony constantly trying to copy Nintendo.

It was alright
I don't have strong feelings for it, but I do see potential in a possible sequel.

????
it depends on if they understood how fundamentally flawed their original concept was or not tbh

the entire game design is based less on something functional and more on trying desperately to look "unique" because they were going to be called a smash clone from the getgo, better add an obtuse core mechanic that misses why people liked smash to begin with

Well, alright then! But, seriously if Sony should copy something, they probably should do it with Smash - I'm just not sure they have good enough, or even enough series. All their actually good, not trying to be as bloody as goddamn possible are dead, god I miss Spyro and Crash. I really don't even count Ratchet and Clank on this list, I thought I remember something about them trying to go more mature.
It's one of the reasons I hate Sony. From what I've seen with them, they think they just need to appeal to hardcore gamers, and tell the not-so Hardcore gamers to go **** themselves for not being as hardcore, that's really terrible customer treatment. One of the reasons I love Nintendo, they try to love everyone. Even their competition, they try to be fair to their opposition and treat them the way they feel is fair. Great example, this year's E3: they won't have an actual on-stage press-conference and, just let the other two have the floor while Nintendo does things their way, and does a Nintendo Direct. While Sony and Microsoft go on childishly and try to insult each other.

No Spyro and Crash, no buy. And for **** sakes, use their old PS1 designs. It's not hard.

Can Sony even do this? I thought Activision owns Spyro now - and is Crash like around, in any shape or form now?
'Cause I don't think they can just make models for them and say they're in the game like that.

Crash hasn't seen a new game since 2010, and his most recent ones are all garbage. Spyro's doing well by comparison, even if his other games have barely any resemblance to his old games. A Hero's Tail was pretty decent though, I had fun with it as a kid.

If Sega, Konami, and Capcom let Nintendo borrow their characters for Smash Bros, Activision should get the stick out their ass.

Unless those designs are used in spinoff games or otherwise, it makes no sense from a marketing standpoint to use old designs. Just messes with the branding of the character especially for those who have never seen the old design, who would think that they are new.

It works on both levels actually, for newbies cause it's new and now associated with a quality brand and for the older crowd it's nostalgic which is why these posters will buy it. Look at Warren Spector's Epic Mickey which took Mickey's history and original design and made a unique plot from that and brought back Oswald.

Now look at those award-winning Disney shorts made recently which take the same spirit of the old shorts and the designs and have also given Mickey new energy.

Over time things get cluttered and going back to the original can add new inspiration because it's what made it great to begin with.

This is a weird question, but is there any way to force P:M not to save? I want to try out some of the Stadium modes in Project M, but I don't want to overwrite my Brawl records, because Stadium is the only thing that I still sort of like in that game, and I do occasionally play for new records. I know that separate save files are totally out of the question for a mod like this, so this is the only solution that I can think of.

As someone who was hyped for and played it competitively, I can easily say All Stars was the biggest let down of a game I can think of me in recent years (with the exception of Bioshock Infinite, man that was horrible).

Its just.. as someone said before, they copied Smash but not the parts that people liked about it.
You are basically stuck in a giant box when it comes to stages, you only have 3 moves that can kill an opponent, and the combos are essentially preset and most of your moves launch the enemy far away. Honestly they might have been better off just making it a 1 on 1 traditional fighter, because as it is now its just a plain, slow, incredibly dull brawler.

The only real advance techniques that we would study in the meta game was KC's (Kill confirms), which simply means when one attack leads to a guaranteed super (or kill move). Select Raiden, forward square, R2, rinse and repeat.

tl;dr- Its bad at even being a fan service game. Easy platinum, though.

Hmm... not sure about that, bud :\ unless you like..put your brawl save file onto an SD card and essentially remove it, then put it back when your done.

i got yellow index cards, cut them in half, then put stickers on them, 01-20. then i used a box cutter to cut a little slit in the top middle of each one and put a clip that you would use to clip those name tags to your collars at work.

then, i spent the con walking around, looking for anyone in a titan costume, taking a picture, then asking if they're ok with me attaching a tag to them somewhere. then anytime i saw a titan, i took notes on it in my notebook.

i was basically the jane goodall of the scouting legion, and it ****ing worked because despite having ****ty hange hair and the wrong color shirt, people remembered me and thought it was a great and hilarious idea >: D

AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!

People walking around naked in herds at cons with blank expressions on their faces and randomly biting people. Sounds scary.

I loved that episode. The boondocks is basically the best thing to hit animated american TV since Japan. I can't think of a more diverse (in storytelling, humour, mood, culture, &c.) american animated show.

Naww man. I'm gonna say that the one where they try to kidnap Oprah is a classic. My personal fave is probably the one where Grandpa has to street fight the blind guy.

HEY YO E3 LEAK
LIKE ANY A Y'ALL CARE DOH LOL
Apparently it was a fake made by some guy who recently started studying 3d modeling.

It would be hilarious if Sony coincidentally actually announced a re-release though.

1.SuperBot is an independent company put together with Sony. SuperBot wasn't fired.
2.PlayStation All-Stars was just going to be some sort of crossover. The fighter thing came later.

M-muh dart tho...
Did you know that Dart was actually planned to be added eventually? There's even concept art.

Also the proof it was a fake was basically the model of the logo from another angle. It could be damage control from whomever leaked it, but don't count on it.

At least you still have your save file from then...
Had to learn the hard way what not to mess with in the Debug Menu.

A shame cause 11 years of play would've had me play nearly a million matches by now.
Mine was corrupted 2 or 3 times by overwriting (when you plug the card in after the games on it asks to erase it and my hyper friend was spammin A) or corrupted (from my cousin pulling it out or something during Guitar Hero). Else mine would be since it came out too.
But they're ugly. ;(
I'm out of it concerning games, they totally butchered them so hard
