Sony should make a new PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale, but actually good.
Some ideas?
1. Take a leaf from Smash Bros. - rather than being pretty much a form of advertising, which makes the game now seem pretty dated, try using more of the history of PlayStation as a format, thus making the game more representative of the history.
2. Try and get some of the licenced characters from its history - like Cloud, Squall, Jill Valentine, Snake, Crash, Spyro, or Joker. Yes, these all may be in Smash, but they're good examples of characters that are important to PlayStation history - perhaps with the possible exception of Joker, but Persona probably ought to be represented.
2.5. Characters don't have to have been on PlayStation alone, but have to have been important to the history of the consoles, which is why characters like Jill Valentine make sense.
3. For a game like this, don't use the Smash style of gameplay. PlayStation was famous for traditional fighting games like Tekken, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and King of Fighters '98 (yes, some of these were arcade titles, but these were also very important titles on the original PlayStation.)
4. Bosses should probably be enemies from actual PlayStation games - because Polygon Man doesn't make sense as a climatic boss, really. Have things like a Metal Gear REX, or Sephiroth, or stuff like that.
5. Stages should also reflect the history of PlayStation.
I'll admit, I don't know much about PlayStation as a whole, but I'll say that these would likely be good changes and additions.
Any thoughts? Am I completely wrong (which is probable lmao) Feel free to tell me.
