It's probably the only time that game will ever get attention from Capcom these days. Plus the anime style makes that game age better than most other PSX games...
im personally still guessing geno is base game as the final secret reveal.
Sony couldn't get him into PS All Stars so it's not that unrealisticNot only is Crash now on Nintendo's current console, imagine Sony's former mascot not being on the classic version of the console he represented.
Counterpoint, I think the paperwork for Geno was mostly done with 4. Meaning negotiations probably weren't as in depth .
I want an RE character soooooo bad. Nemisis is probably unlikely, third parties seem to focus on their protagonists. I think it's likely we will get Leon and a Jill echo (or vice versa). Leon has a lot of history with Nintendo and Jill is iconic. Could be Chris instead of Jill but that would make me sad.
agreed.
To be fair, PS4 game releases are easier to leak than fighting game rosters.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't we be at 73 characters for smash down? Or are you not counting Miis? Not that I think that breaks your logic.
I don't think we should think about Smashdown like that since it will be broken by dlc very quickly. It'll probably be the top players with the most points/wins stay in when there isn't enough characters left.
And we've gone from J. Jonah Jameson to Bad News Barrett.
There's a lot of games they could say that about, though.
I doubt MediEvil, that's getting the Crash treatment right?
But Miis are on that box
72 for smashdown because smashdown doesnt count miis.
Doesn’t matter I don’t believe the box theory I never will
So when you hey it in december then.
I'm not a legal scholar, but I think the legalities of a playable fighter are a lot more difficult beyond simply using their image--moves, animations, possible stage/character/music licenses, and all of them have to be renegotiated between games, they don't carry over. Though, Geno may also be a special case, since he's technically a Mario character and would probably be easier to get than the typical Square Enix character. That being said, the fact they were able to work out some of the licensing issues with Geno for his Mii Costume helps his chances being in the base game, or as the first DLC character.
Yeah, and I have to be honest my desire for Banjo is similar in that I have to be extra skeptical of my own thoughts when it comes to theories that contradict his inclusion. That being said, out of all the theories, the blog theory makes the most sense. 26 weeks of blog entries, average 3 characters per week, means roughly 78 characters (including echoes) potentially to be blogged about, if that pattern holds. We're at 70 now, so around 8 characters seems more likely than the more pessimistic theories, though after the last Direct, and how much time we have left, I'm thinking it's on the lower end. Cautiously optimistic.
Plausible as any other theory involving looking for patterns.
It would make sense if the game was launching in spring time if the box is a place holder, but considering that the box has a lot of polish on it and the game is coming out in December signals that the box is most likely legit
It's certainly interesting, but it's a pattern, just like the box theory, that easily could be broken if they just decided to break it, in example at a certain point before release they'll just stop covering characters, when there are no more...
No place holder as in that box art is not finslized it could add another row
Um, what? It is a placeholder. It's missing Isabelle, as well as the rumored characters. I think even the most adamant box defenders concede that it's a placeholder. What we disagree with is whether or not the pattern would remain consistent between its placeholder image and finalized design.
My new theory is that they are probably gonna remove all the echos on the box and only put the new characters so that opens up some more spots and could kinda connect to the blog theory.
Did he confirm the Square-Enix character was Geno? Last I heard (his update a few days back), he didn’t want to say who the S-E character was.
They do, i think. Man i might need to DM Vergben on GameFAQs to ask if Bandana Dee is in
Except it is a placeholder, isabelle wasn't on it, and the roster is being so closely guarded that it makes no sense to tell some graphic designer the final count, it makes far more sense to tell them to just fit our current lineup on it and then edit it later after the others are revealed.
Assuming the Music theory is true, I kinda Doubt Bandanna Dee is in (Kirby already has a Song on the site...)
Except the fact we have gotten weeks of just 2 veterans. I know it tries to average it, but that ignores the fact it's totally possible in November we could see a slow down of veteran reveals.
I do not beileve the box theory, well unless Vergeben says it's true
Playing it safe, because they don't know, if they will get the Miis ready for Online? Assuming Smashdown can be played online, which doesn't seem that farfetched to me...
I've heard reasonable ideas that marketers may actually know the final count. However, box theorists take that implying their theory is correct, whereas it just as easily implies it may not be correct--if the marketing team knows information about the finalized roster, why would they imply that through the box art before it's revealed?
