I was actually thinking they may be heading in that direction with this game. I mean with all the microtransactions that seem to be coming into place it actually reminds me of UC3 but I don't think I've ever seen the model on a fighting game before.

They'd either need to release a bare-bones downloadable version with only a few levels and characters (no single player, maybe?) or release a few more characters in order to make that work. The bare-bones roster would be interesting to see, as they'd then become what flood online matches (it'd be neat to see some less-popular characters make that batch). Fat Princess, PaRappa, Jak, Toro, Spike, etc.
 
Actually looking at the latest DLC costumes and their profile picks, they look veeeeeeeeeeeery different from original ones. Maybe SSM did made them and thus they look so different? It would also be good sign if they atleast bothered with some DLC.

They could release a F2P level Cap for all playable characters with ofc $X.XX to unlock them completly and their respective trophies+arcade modes+profile customization items, being free to play will help so much the company and the online community, and you will be able just to buy the full retail and digital game if you want the whole experience, and by looking what sony is doing with their mayor IPs I wouldn't be surprised.

It could even set a solid and bigger fan base for a sequel.

Sup my Euro friends, looks like you get in on the free character fun as well!

However, if you’ve redeemed your Network Pass for God of War: Ascension you will be entitled to download both [characters] at no additional cost. All you have to do is visit the PlayStation Store, use the search function to find PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale add-ons, and look for the two characters to download. Please note, this bonus offer will be available from early next week and run for 30 days. We will update you shortly on exactly when the offer will go live.

EDIT: Although you'd have to wait until next Monday, lol. Talk about a tease.
 
Wait how are people getting freebie codes for Zeus and Isaac?

We're getting lucky. I tweeted out a request for a code last week and a colleague messaged me one almost immediately. :p I then got a code from someone else, but I forwarded it to an All-Stars-loving friend of mine (with permission) since I already had one.
 
YAS! I was bummed only NA peeps would get the DLC. So basically 4 free DLC characters. Will buy the stage to support them.

Saw that someone mentioned the patch was live. Nothing on vita yet though.

Not live for anyone yet. Just camp the PSAS board on GameFAQs, you'll know it's up when you see 15 topics in a row saying "PATCH IS LIVE!!!1!!11"
 
Still waiting for the patch, can't wait to try them out!

Yes, you're correct.

This was the image I was referring to. I must have read that as the end of March 2013. Apologies!

Heyyy that's my picture! :D

Heh, and this after i've cancelled my GOW:A pre-order a day before shipment due to all the talk about glitches and messed up sound, as well as there being no word on free PSASBR DLC for EU. I'll still get the game, but at this point i'm not sure if it's going to be in time for the deal to still be valid. I'd also have to wait a good while before i could play with the new characters. With the PSASBR DLC being tied to the GOW:A online pass the chance to get a free code from someone else is also very slim. I guess i'll just buy the DLC bundle.

I don't know when the characters go live, but it sucks that my Vita chose last night to drain the battery completely, and I left my charger at home, so no All Stars for me until later tonight.

Also, man, I'm terrible at being part of the community. I play the game offline daily, but I always forget to chat in here. I guess because I'm just not a big MP online player. I get together with friends and play the game with them. I just prefer sitting around the couch, getting drunk, and trash talking while playing the game. No offense to you guys, of course. Although any gaffers that aren't serial killers in the Los Angeles area are welcome to hang at my crappy apartment and play some All Stars as well!

I'm looking forward to this patch a lot. I'm interested in seeing how the game feels now.



Fucking Vita...
 
CHRIST 5 EUROS FOR SHITTY 3rd PARTY CHARACTER AND BIASED 2nd REP? Total of 10 euros for 2 characters?? No thank you. I'll analyze them through online play facing others then....

EDIT: Thanks for info Step

How did the battery die?

I had Skype on last night, and forgot to turn it off, and it was running in the background on the Vita all night when I fell asleep.

Usually, the battery life is fantastic on the Vita, but Skype drains it like a sumbitch.

I saw that my charger was in the bedroom this morning, but I was like, "Nah, I never have to charge my Vita during a work day, so I'll just leave it here!" Got on the bus, tried to turn on the Vita so I could play some All Stars (I've been playing through as every character, getting them to level 80+ just to familiarize myself with them all), and it was like, "Sorry bro, I'm dead."

*sniffles*

Now I don't even have it to play on the way home! I guess I'll just read something on my Kindle Fire instead. Lol. /first world problems
 
Holy Crap!

They buffed Jak's Lvl 2!!!!!

Now it gets a stun as Jak's transforming (Similar to Raiden's Lvl 2) and its faster.

Why was this not included in the patch notes I wonder.

Damn! And this is why I needed my Vita! I knew the download was going to be big, and my home internet is being awful, so I wanted to download the patch at work, then be all good to go at home. It's going to take forever to download 800+MB at home tonight, so I probably won't be playing with the new characters until tomorrow, when I head off to work in the morning.

Ah well.
 
Ohohohohoh, and did they fix season belts? I have been on brown belt too long without rewards. :I

EDIT: Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that 1124 MB PS3 update! This is gonna take time T_T
 

I don't know how much that thread will help EU people, how would european GOW:A buyers know about the free PSASBR DLC in the first place, and even if they did know, they would have to give away their GOW:A online pass, not some random code they don't care about like in the US. The EU version of this promotion isn't very freeloader friendly. :D

You gotta do what?
