Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale

Maybe the supers would be more appropriate if they were used as an alternative means of wiping out other players and not the main thing to take out the competition. They're too easy to get with certain characters and are a spammable offense and it sure as hell doesn't help when all these shooter characters get to them just as fast as Ry--I mean Kratos.

This doesn't make the supers a bad idea. It just means that those characters need to be nerfed. Plus, you can't "spam" supers.

The way it is is good enough.

Santa Monica says their next patch would nerf Kratos. I call bullshit. We got it and I haven't noticed much of a difference when facing him again online. He's still overpowered with his annoying Blades of Chaos and abuses his Supers like a mutha as he can still fill his meter in an instant and would God of War really lose it's fans if his lvl 3 was at least shorter?

Turns out that Dart from The Legend of Dragoon was planned for this game but was scrapped:

He would have been a cool choice, though.

WHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sony always spurns me on this! They said Legend of Dragoon 2 was in production at one point, then it was cancelled, and now this?

PHHHHHHHHUUUUUCK

Apparently there's a big twitter campaign going on for this.

Best believe I'm joining in on this and I'll be pestering Mr. Yoshida and co.

#ReleaseDart mother****ers.

Assist me, I beg you.

Well, this might bring some relief:

It's something, but not enough yet.

I'm keeping track of the tweets and there's plenty of activity for the #ReleaseDart hashtag. Been that way all day it seems.

At this point, I just want a sequel. I think I'd rather have that than DLC characters, which I don't think is likely for this game right now.

@CosmicComet

What do you think Dart's moveset would be like?

There was someone on the Playstation forum that created a hypothetical one. It was quite in-depth.

Anyway they've forced another response out of Sony Santa Monica, they said that they are indeed listening but don't have an update for us just yet.

This was pretty funny:
https://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/07/03/god-of-war-ascension-11-multiplayer-dlc-weapons-unlocked-until-sunday/

Some new God of War Ascension multiplayer update was promoted, and it got taken hostage by the #ReleaseDart campaigners. Getting big.

It's good to see somebody went into detail with this.

I always said that if Cloud didn't make it in this game, then Dart would be my second choice.

A hint to a sequel perhaps?

I hope so!

There's an official sequel campaign incase you want to support a sequel:

I know I'm all for it!

(By the way, I'd replace Scorpion and Mega Man X with Ryu Hayabusa and Mega Man Volnutt and add Toan to the game too. Maybe Q*Bert could be an item since he's also owned by Sony.)

LOL@Kratos's face

I will support the sequel if Sony promises they'll make sure the developers don't try to make a knockout system that stands out from all the rest. Superbot tried that making supers an exclusive means of ringing people out and that was a complete fustercluck. Aside from a lack of more nostalgic characters in the roster, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the annoying meter buildup was the major reason it didn't sell.

I know you, like so many others, have a problem with the KO system so I guess the best alternative would be to give the characters lifebars and just make the supers do more damage like in regular fighting games. Still, the first KO feature should be used as an option.

Also, I'm pretty sure it was the lack of enough marketing that was the reason it didn't sell well and not the meter buildup.

It looked like the game had plenty of marketing if you ask me. I'm pretty sure it was the blood curdling warnings people's friends gave them after playing it.

Got this one recently for $20

i quite like it, Shame the online portion is ****en dead.
