That sucks....

Anyone know why that happened?

My guess is that:
Since Sony/SCEA needs to be smart about where their money goes; I'm thinking they were not getting enough of a return that warranted them to continue supporting that franchise.

Isn't the main complaint about vita is that there aren't any good 1st party titles

 

[TheCreator]

I'm seriously concerned about the industrial standings of Nintendo. Like...theyre slowly but surely deciding. And that sucks...I've worshipped them since I was old enough to say it.

PSABR wasn't a bad game it's just that. A) The marketing wasn't as good as it could have been. B) The characters/roster was not as compelling as say Smash Bros. or MvC to attract enough fans. C) Sony's consumer base isn't interested in these type of games. If they were the game would be doing GoW,Uncharted or at least inFamous numbers on the charts.

How so? They seem pretty successful to me.

It's a shame. Smash really needed some sort of competition. Though the only game I could potentially see pulling Smash numbers is a Sega All-Stars fighter.

Apparently Superbot will still be around. Maybe they'll work on MS All-Stars.

Edit: Sony Santa Monica will be making all future DLC for PSA. Maybe they'll be the ones who continue the franchise?

yeah Sega could maybe do it. but it has even less to work with imo as their franchises arent nearly as big as Nintendos except Sonic of course. i think it could easily suffer from the same problem PSABR faced in that the overall cast wouldn't be that exciting (and would consist mostly of Sonic characters). Namco Bandai could easily pull it off since it overall has a lot more successful franchises than Sega does. i'd say their on par with Capcom in notable franchises so they could do it just the same. i really want the crossover Party fighter genre to expand man

 

[lobotheduck21]

Well, lets hope the nintendo x capcom rumor ever comes true

 

[3Bismyname]

depends on whether or not its handled like a Vs Capcom game or a Smash game for me.

Do it like the street fighter x tekken and tekken x street fighter, have the companies make it in the stiyle there games are known for

Their annual profit is about -2%

Yes. Santa Monica will continue PSASBR. Thats if they get past doing God of War.

Anyway, a Sega fighter would be fun. I could definitely see it happening at a latter date.

 

[FlareHabanero]

If there was ever a Sega fighting game, I'd totally main Vyse from Skies of Arcadia. Though I'd be okay with such a game in general, as long as it's not clogged to the brim with Sonic characters.

You're forgetting a lot of other Sega characters like AiAi, Akira, Pai, Sarah Bryant, Ulala, etc.

 

[Deleted member]

Any chance to revive Vectorman in some way, I will take. Sega All-Stars Rumble? Hell yes.

 

[3Bismyname]

im not forgetting them. i acknowledge all those characters among others like those from Jet Set Radio, Sakura Wars, Billy Hatcher and Alex Kidd . im just saying they aren't nearly as popular as even Nintendo's B list series.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Vectorman = AMAZING

 

[8-peacock-8]

Ristar, Vectorman, and Segata Sanshiro.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

I wonder if Sonic would continue to be in Smash if a Sega All-Stars was made. If he was, I think it would be appropriate for Mario to be in the Nintendo ports of SAS.

@Peacock
Those would be a must! Alex Kidd and somebody from Golder Axe should be in as well.

 

[3Bismyname]

Gilius Thunderhead from Golden Axe of course. and i'd like a character from Streets of Rage.

 

[8-peacock-8]

@Shinpichu
Nintendo might say no again. But it would be great to see Mario fighting SEGA's mascots.

It's possible, like Link in SoulCalibur II

Considering Nintendo said no to SEGA two times for the All-Stars Racing games, i think it's very likely that they'll say no. (First one was requesting Mario. The second game was requesting Kirby)

Thank god I'm not the only one who thinks this. That would be the perfect genre for Sega to explore if they are having another Sega Super Stars/Sega All Stars game by 2014.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Spoiler

So it would have a lot of Sonic characters. However, it has a crap ton of other characters and it could even have a Gun Star Heroes rep.

I want a source on that Kirby thing, since that's the first time I've heard of that.

It's easy to find in google you know.

I would think a better choice(for the racing, at least) would be Captain Falcon, since sega has worked on F-Zero games before.

I think the reason they said no is because SAS Racing is the biggest competitor to Mario Kart.

Probably. Kind of sad since i would love to see more Air Ride love.

makes sense. Soul Calibur wasnt directly competing with anything Nintendo had so it wasnt a big deal for them.

That article claims Ristar and Vectorman would be playable, so it doesn't seem too reputable to me.

 

[3Bismyname]

it really bugs me that Ristar wasnt playable though. i freakin love his game

[COLLAPSE="Ristar Car"]

[8-peacock-8]

They were deconfirmed latter since that article was from back when the game was starting to get news.

It was also confirmed that they tried to make Ristar playable but they didn't like how his back looked....derp

I wish there was a Kirby Air Ride Wii

Forget Kirby Air Ride Wii...

Just give me Kirby Air Ride ANYTHING!

I would much prefer to be controlling sonic just RUNNING while the other characters are in karts.

Lol, there should be a smash bros. racing game.

 

[8-peacock-8]

There are flying portions for a reason. That kind of keeps Sonic from running since there are obstacles he can't "RUN OVER" with out being horribly killed. (Rivers of lava, outer space, bottomless cliffs, the sky, etc.)

 

[TheCreator]

The flying portions of the races now. That kind of keeps Sonic from running since there are obstacles he can't "RUN OVER" with out being horribly killed. (Rivers of lava, outer space, bottomless cliffs, the sky, etc.)

Goddamn diverse landscape

 

[8-peacock-8]

Goddamn diverse landscape

Theres also an entire level that has mostly water and is in the middle of a battle between navy ships. So theres another problem for Sonic. lol
