Sony severs ties with PlayStation All-Stars developer

One thing that is impossible to ignore in this game is its idiotic onslaught of paid DLC. Look, we all know that Sony wanted to make a Smash Bros-esque game...the least they could have done is give us all the content we rightfully deserve for BUYING the game. Nintendo doesn't pull that shit!

smash has way more content and way better characters. this game sucks.

I thought it was a good game... /:

And you smash fan boys can shut it. Both this and SSB are great games. >_> I don't see why people get so worked up over clone games, especially decent clone games. What's wrong with getting new ones?

Fanboy logic = neurotic pre-teen justin bieber fans...

One of the major flaws the german version had was the inconsistency in subtitles and spoken languages.

When it's a game that is designed for the whole family it's just right out strange and weird when a german voice actor of a character talks to an english speaking voice actor (to add insult to injury, some of the english VA's in the german version HAVE subtitles, some other again, NOT) and it looks like everybody initially speaks each others language. That concept is more than risky and absolutely nothing I'd want to explain my 6 year old son if I had one. Not to mention again that it doesn't come off as very professional again doing it like this.

This company got off too easy. When I heard that the score system would be entirely be super moves I know this game would be bad. 1)So you have to use a super move that kills in one hit which means you cant sneak in and hit a player that took a lot of damage making imbalance between characters more of a problem. 2)Killing an enemy character doesnt feel satisfying because it only took one hit. 3)The content in Battle Royal is no where close to that in Smash Bros Brawl. 4)A reporter on youtube once asked a high ranking Super Bot employee about his fighting game experience to which he said his friend once got 4th place in a Street Fighter Tournament.

Fortnight?

Blatant smash bro's clone should have never been green lighted :P

Isn't SuperBot a company primarily made up of developers from other companies? I know at least a few were from NamcoBandai. I think they'll be okay. The real question is if they're not doing All-Stars but they're still "working things out", what are they planning on doing?

I dunno, one of the reasons I didn't pick up the game was because of the characters, there were none that I really liked and they seemed to clash too much with each other. I almost think the game would've done better if they had all original characters instead of going and doing a crossover game. Just because it works for Nintendo doesn't mean it's gonna work for you, Sony.

Wish SuperBot the best of luck. It's really tough to jump through all the hoops Sony 1st party has you jump through just to delivery exactly what was requested and be dropped.

Really enjoy playing this game with 3 friends at 1 TV (where it is designd for IMO), I just got a feeling most people dont even give this game a chance. As a xbox360 owner I miss this kind of games.

I wonder how much more PSABR would have sold if Sony didn't use an online pass for the game. I know I would have bought it new if they didn't push their luck with that policy.

Yeah, the split itself may have been cordial, but I bet the reasons for the parting aren't positive. Not when Sony seems to have a habit of buying every studio that does them a good turn.

this game will do better soon.... when the price drop

Well that sucks.Best of luck to them.PSBR was a okay game.

Never really got interested in this game. Gameplay looks like it gets stale, especially with only being to kill people in their special modes or whatever, and only a few characters I actually like. It also seemed like they just through in some characters because they were either desperate or just putting in any character they could think of, like both evil and felt really unnecessary. Also heard from some of my friends that actually played the game that it isnt that great. I guess if I'm going to get this game I'll wait for it to be 20 or 30 bucks.

i love this game only issue i have with it is the way it wants to connect to other players... when i have a NAT 1 going it wont connect to other ppl, all my other games do and do better that way. so if i want to play online with it i have to revert my net to a NAT 3 which makes things laggy and cuts you off so your lucky if you can finish a match although atleast you can some what play online.

I am a huge fan of Smash Bros and I didn't enjoy this game at all. SONY if you want to copy a successful franchise at least do it right...Smash Bros Brawl came out 4 years before this and it featured a lot more content and twice the number of characters...

Does this mean Clockw0rk is out?

Hm well, maybe this means now no broken patches anymore that makes the game unplayable for the whole EU / PAL-Regions cause we can't get past the Bluepoint Logo Screen anymore ;)

And before you start, yes, it has already been fixed a while ago, but letting a problem like this occur at all for puting NTSC Codes on PAL versions doesn't reek of professionalism ;)

It would be nice to plan things out before the game is released in a contract so these Indi teams don't go by the wayside.

It is too bad that this game didn't do better. I kinda hoped that it would have at least found some success on PS3. But maybe in a effort to do someting a bit different than SSBB series.

Hope the folks at superbot will find new jobs. Maybe they could try to develop something for Nintendo Wii u.

Yet to download it for my white vita after the amazon sale. Between upgrade the firmware or play this game, the choice is obvious.

i enjoyed play this with 3 of my friends over, we had a blast. Is very different from smash bro, but once you got attached to one character, it can be very fun. Too bad it seems like there wont be #2 in the future.

The game is actually pretty cool to play, when you get your friends together (locally).
Problem are DLCs. It needs much more characters and for gamings sake a more beautiful menu.

that's what happen when you choose Raiden over Snake.

I am done with modern gaming. I am sick of the constant DLC crap, I am tired of online passes, tired of multiplayer shoved into everything when it's not needed. I am having a better time playing NES games than I am playing modern games. Atleast when I buy a NES game I get the entire game, when I buy a modern game I get 1/4 of the game with the rest as DLC to be bought and most of it is already on the disc I paid for.

I am DONE. No More, just NO MORE.

I used to get excited when next gen comes, now I just don't care.

I wonder why they severed ties. I mean I'd like to know the actual reason why - if it had something to do with PSASBR, or if SuperBot wanted to make other kinds of games outside of the restraints of Sony or something.

But I guess with this news all we know is that SuperBot is no longer with Sony, and it's unclear what is happening to them. And apparently it was a happy break-up.

Is PSASBR the only game SuperBot made? I'm just wondering because I hadn't really been following Sony news for a couple years there.

At least it is going to a competent Studio.

I wasn't expecting to like this game, i have Super Smash Bros. for the Wii and i played Super Smash Bros on the N64 when i was younger and i've never got much into it.

So when i first saw this i wasn't exited about getting a ps clone of a game i didn't enjoy. But i got to play this in a friend's house and was really surprised that although at first sight it looks identical to SSB, it is totally different and i had tons of fun playing it.

So, if Santa Monica Studios makes a new entry to this franschise, i'm going to seriously consider purchasing it.
