So, just to keep/kill the last of my hopes, is there any solid info we already have that points to this being a Smash Bros, as opposed to a fighting game?

More than 2 players at a time
Environment hazards
Items
Dedicated Special move button
Etc.

Are people just assuming based on it being a crossover with a company's characters?

The SuperBot website (before the redesign) had pictures of the devs with arcade sticks...

Another picture has 4 people each with a controller.

Dont worry its like SSB.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

I hate how the Internet spoils virtually every surprise. It's going to be the fighting game.......

I'll love you forever if it is.

 

[AndyD]

I really hope it resembles SSB because it's a good formula that clearly works and there isn't many like games like it, so why not?

I have a feeling it will be 3D like Fat Princess. Not sure why other than it seems to suit the Playstation style better and be more faithful to the games likely sourced for it.

 

[Loudninja]

Nothing so far points to it being anything else.

You have me backwards.

I sure hope so. Hype increases!

 

[Loudninja]

Now dont take my word for it lol.

I just cant see this being a series fighting game base on people reactions to it.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

I don't see it being a "serious" fighting game with characters like Parappa. Bet is on smash bros style with poorer execution.

 

[Pachimari]

Was this today's reveal? Im trying to find out which reveal the April 26 announcement were, as I have been out of the loop the last 3 days.

I like the way you think. We've seen nothing of the game, we know ex-Santa Monica / ND Devs are working on it, and we know it'll be a collaborative effort of Sony franchises. Let's hate on it!

 

[spats]

My expectations are at an all time low. It'll be hilarious reading the announcement thread tomorrow morning.

Yeah its today.

I just ignore them.

 

[CriterionDog]

I swear, Crash Bandiccot and Spyro The Dragon HAVE to be in this game! For old time's sake:

NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD

 

[iratA]

Oh please let this be good. This has so soooo much potential its not funny.

 

[Drencrom]

Sure, that would maybe be kinda cool but it's pretty unlikely at this stage.

Shit, i'm so stoked.

woah there. When was this found out exactly? A link or some information would be extremely appreciated

I don't hate on it, just being realistic. We're not dealing here with devs that have extensive experience on vs fighting/brawl game. You believe they can out gun devs that sat deep in it in the first go? Please.

 

[demolitio]

I think a God of War stage with the titans and gods battling in the background would be awesome maybe with Helios' chariot crashing into the stage at some point. I really love the stages that aren't just a spruced up box but actually feel alive.

I honestly think this is a market with virtually zero competition. New blood, new franchises, and a solid wealth of talent is whats needed. I'm glad Sony is taking the reigns on this.

I how do you know what experience they have?

Oh man new developers can never make a good game I see.

 

[Uno Venova]

I thought there was someone working on it that has an impressive history with fighting games.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

That really would make a lot of sense since when you think about the PlayStation brand one of the big selling points was 3D gameplay. I mean Crash was simply a take on Mario in 3D environments. The only real big 2D game for the PlayStation brand I can think of is LBP, but even that has that "2.5D" thing.

Yet despite all of that I'm pretty sure this will be a 2D fighter.

Too late! I'm putting 100% of my trust, to you. HYPE!

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

http://www.linkedin.com/company/superbot-entertainment-inc-

With that website you can pretty much keep track of anyone anyone hires and their background.

durp on part there. I even have an account there so I should have guessed. Thanks for the information. My hype level is increasing now!

 

[Uno Venova]

Looking up old games because of this really reminded me how great the soundtrack for Crash 3 was. Link, Link, Link, Link.

I shouldn't get myself all hopped up on Crash, he could easily end up not being in this.

Define impressive

I think the UFC series but I have almost no recollection.

 

[Loudninja]

If the game has a story I doubt anyone would talk.

I think a narrator would be nice.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

This is tonight, right?

 

[B.O.O.M]

This is tonight, right?

Yes

 

[KingK]

This is tonight, right?

yep. 1 a.m. EST

 

[impact]

That's even less impressive than working on Dead or Alive.

 

[Degen]

There ought to be some licensed characters in the game. The biggest games associated with "PlayStation" are from third parties.

I'd hate to see a bunch of characters along the lines of "Fat Princess" get thrown in over the ones that actually built the brand, just to avoid licensing.

I would rather see Tony Hawk fight with a skateboard than James Bond.

 

[funkystudent]

If crash is in the game I want to unlock something for having a fight with Crash, Jak and Drake.


Also the trophies better be really clever and fun.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I'm kind of excited for this.

Super Smash is a great framework to work from and Sony has the great advantage of lots of PS mascots to work from.

Not sure MS could do something like this for instance.

nonsense. microsoft has banjo-kazooie, avatars, master chief, the car from forza, crushing disappointment from fable, etc.

muscley space marine vs muscley space marine with helmet vs muscley bald guy that can throw cars and jump high

 

[newjeruse]

Really hyped, but also holding out hope that the characters' move sets are extremely diversified. That's the most important part to me.

 

[B.O.O.M]

yep. 1 a.m. EST

I thought it's 1 a.m PST?

Nothing ever happens at 1 AM PST.

Don't knock on something you haven't played. I'm not a fan of UFC either but the UFC series is a really successful one.

well Sony and Nintendo have the advantage of a back catalog of a few generations of franchises they stopped making games for that people have fond memories off that is perfect for this kind of game.

Outside of Rare stuff there really isn't a lot of unused but still loved IP's in MS's library.

No one wants to fight as Binx the cat.


I want Gabe Logan in this game and I want to to cause demand for a new Syphon Filter just like Pit in the last Smash bro's.

 

[p01ar]

It's both. SpikeTV has 2 feeds (like most stations) so it's on at 1am during your local time.

UNLESS you have DirecTV or Dish, then check your local listings.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Thank god! I can sleep a bit earlier than I thought now

so around 11pm PST it is

edit: nvm

 

[Loudninja]

It comes on in 6 hours.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Spoiler

The O'Reilly Factor re-runs at 1am PST.

Yeah they're going to have to be in the game for longer for their version to be exciting in my view.
