That reunion will be stellar haha
I honestly think, down the line, we'll get a successor

And it will be called Island.

Bad jokes aside, we will get that new game. Remember that MMO rumour? This is PS All Stars, so all those leaks will happen. After cola game, EVERYTHING is possible.

Argh.. I thought the cola thing was a bad dream, it's still happening isn't it :(

Really was so shocked. It's not the worst business idea but yeah, another slap to the face :*(

Lets continue the nightmare. Maybe the Cola game was the future Yosp was referencing?
And its still being marketed. IN FINLAND EVEN.

My god, I hope its Coca-Cola's marketing money rather than Sony's. . .

The game is free rite? Is it good atleast?

This is the most recent update there's been on it.

[UPDATE - DEC 31, 2013]

As mentioned below, the aformentioned and still planned PS All-Stars Balance Patch is in development, but still does not have a definitive release timeline as we had previously thought it would when communicated in the Early Fall. As we are trying to be fully transparent, this has been purely a resource issue with PS4 port development consuming the time of our studio External Development Team. Once we return from the Holiday break week of Jan 6, we'll be continuing full swing on spinning up development work for the PS All-Stars Balance Patch. Unfortunately, that is the only specific update I can provide at this time, in that we are still very much committed to providing a much-needed balance injection for the game.

It's my 100% intent to ensure your voice, your feedback, your comments, are all taken into the balancing act of developing this patch. Please continue providing.

We'll reset the leaderboards beginning of January as scheduled and keep PS All-Stars thriving into 2014 with you.

For those organizing tournaments or in need of prizing, if you haven't heard from me yet, be on the lookout in your inboxes this week.

Thanks again everyone for your patience, have a rockin New Years and i'll see you on the 2014 flipside.

Honestly, I don't know why they're even bothering anymore. Even if they do manage to fix all of the balance problems, it just seems like a waste of time since they've taken so long. I'd rather just see a sequel. Maybe they're planning on a PS4 port with all the DLC included, and that's why they're still working on it.

I would definitely appreciate a balance patch to get a perfect game, I can wait a bit longer.

I'm not sure that's the port they were referring to but I'd think it's such a good idea to get a smash bros version on PS4, with crossplay compatibility, put the base game on PS+, get a few more levels out and Crash Bandicoot if they have it.

Yeah, the port(s) they were referring to were things like Escape Plan, Sound Shapes, etc. They've said nothing about PSAS getting one but I think it could work if they did the sort of things you suggested.

If I was at Sony I'd be getting a PS+ version of the game on PS4 with the original 6 characters included and everything else purchasable in a $20-$30 pack (perhaps free or discounted for those who'd bought it on PS3/Vita). It'd entice new players, the balance patch could bring back a lot of people who dropped it before, and if it took off then future DLC could be viable.

This would, of course, require them to give a shit about PSAS though, so it will never happen.

I just found out the old PSASBR Community I migrated from (Playstation All Stars Arena) is currently down. Not that I've been remotely interested in PSASBR for the last few months, but it really sucks overall that it's down since there was some great players and info (some of which that I got to contribute to, and without any backing up either :/). I don't even know if it's coming back but in the case that it isn't RIP Arena

I feel for those who had to work on PS4 ports instead of the patch. Honestly, I like having Flower, etc, on my PS4. That's a lot of work to cover, no joke.

But, man... I still feel really burned we didn't get Abe, or at least the balance patch.

I love this game and hope they deliver. Any news on the game always perks my attention.

Oh, I see.

While I hope they deliver, I dont think they will. You know, with the last patch being s*** and ignoring everything for six months and then they just release old costumes that were already ingame while leaving 2 other costumes not avaible.

Its hard being a supporter. They just throw us bones and we should be more happy for that?...

At least they haven't given up on the patch yet.

I was thinking of getting back into this after checking out new E.Cole combos. Is the online still alive?

Quick question about the DLC. I bought the "Fearless" stage, downloaded and installed it, but it's not showing up on my list of offline verses levels. Any idea why?

edit: Trying to play an online match prompted me to update my game, so that might do the trick.

Just thought I'd post, somebody has been doing a series of videos for PSASBR characters that explains where most character moves come from. They've been doing it for quite a while now but I figured it's worth mentioning now that they've gotten a sizable number of videos out now.
Ratchet and Clank moveset explanation
Sackboy moveset explanation
Sly Cooper moveset explanation
Big Daddy moveset explanation
There are also a few more videos, as well as explanations for stages on the creator's channel.

Desperately attempting to platinum on vita. I need that trophy for winning a match made online game without dying. So much tougher than it was when the game launched. Oy.

Edit: Never mind! Got it.

It'll be very interesting to see what they do with the game after this.

Of course I'm still holding out for someone to get put on for a PS4 reboot

Well, that took long enough!
I'm addicted to Marvel ate the moment, but when they release the patch, sure, I'll return to all-stars.

Woah the all stars forum is the most active on Playstation? That's insane, those guys really love this game.

Hope they do maje a sequel (of course with a larger focus on first party)

The most active forum is Allstars and the most requested game is MAG 2

Two games that may never sew their sequel

What else could be done to improve the game... hmm....


Well, I suppose the roster is the easy thing to discuss. A handful of third party characters everyone wanted would be a good start (Crash, Solid Snake, Cloud, etc).

As for gameplay, I think they did a pretty damn good job overall, but maybe picking some more nostalgic levels from beloved franchises would be cool? I liked the Twisted Metal stage a lot, but I wish it harkened back to the PSone games a bit.

:lol.

Jak, Sir Dan and Toro were my bros on this game. Jak had the potential to be great, but his damage output is just odd, especially when you compare his moveset on this compared to the actual moves from the series. The Peacemaker hitting like a wet sock and if I remember correctly momentarily stunning them is just ridiculous.

This should get a sequel with proper funding and a stronger first party line up. Crazy that this game has the most active forum.

Yeah, both forms of the Peacemaker are terrible, especially considering they are two of the most powerful gun mods in the game(s).

Recently started playing again and I still hate to see that confirm kill being used as such a crutch. Just finished a match vs a Ratchet player, level 999, and what do they do the entire game? Suck Cannon -> Level 1. Why even play the game like that? Maybe this is just coming from a guy who plays as a character who can only get situational kills, but still. Damn this game sucks when you play like that.

Playing through again, I think my biggest problem with the game is what a drag the arcade/story mode is. Such a chore to get through. I'm not sure what a good answer would be, but I would appreciate some enjoyable single player content.

By the by, if anybody (like me) still logs on to PSAS from time to time (or if there are any old PSAS gaffers that haven't added my new account) shoot a friend request over to: JakeNoseIt
