The PlayStation Network is the online service by Sony Computer Entertainment, providing downloads of games, trailers, themes and much more. The service is free, but also offers a paid version for various benefits.
So Geoff Keighley says he'll be revealing a huge PS3 exclusive on the next GTTV.
Next, Sony registers playstationallstarsbattleroyale.com
Putting two and two together...yeah. Do you guys think this is a good idea? Any characters you think are a must? I hope this is not for the move and the gameplay has to be addictive.
I actually dont think so.... What makes Super Smash Bros fun is that there is a wide selection of interesting characters. I think Playstation is kinda limited when it comes to that....
Let's see you got the Ratchet stuff, Jak stuff, Sly stuff, sack boy... I don't think Kratos and Nathan Drake would fit but I bet they don't care. Maybe Snake could be in this game too. That would be extra funny.
Alright, smash bros players do rosters all day, let's get this one started. Adding user suggestions!
Nathan Drake Elena Fisher Sweet Tooth Dollface Sir Daniel Fortesque PaRappa Kratos Cole McGrath Bloody Mary Ratchet Kazuo Hirai Clank Captain Qwark Dr. Nefarious Jak & Daxter Fat Princess Nariko Jaster Rogue Stan & Ari Wander Colonel Mael Radec Sly Cooper Sackboy Vibri Scott Shelby Dart Joel Ape Kevin Butler Gabe Logan Tomba Arc Patapon LocoRoco Crash Spyro Ezio Snake Kat Mr Domino Yurt the Silent Chief The Maiden in Black Spike Kazuma Kiryu (Noby Noby) Boy
@DarkShaper: Imagine having tons of them dicking around on the stage, getting all up in other people's shit? Or a locoroco vs patapon battle? These are the big ideas that drive this industry forward.

I think sony has enough characters old and new for a game like this to work.
Plenty of characters from current games like Uncharted and God of war and so on can be in it but Bring back random people Gabe from Syphon filter. The Medievil guy......Buzz.
Get a Nissan Skyline in there somehow to represent Gran Turismo.
Guest characters all seem like of obvious. Snake, Crash, Spyro, someone from Final Fantasy and so on... But I am sure due to licencing stuff we wont see a lot of those. Maybe they will be DLC.
I just really hope it has a stupid story to explain why this is happening... Like Ken Kutaragi is the final boss or something.

Fat Princess
You left out Tag. :<
Also, Fat Princess? As in the princess herself? I would've firgured I'd play as one of the guys instead.
Come to think of it, maybe the king would make even more sense. The voice talent would make it more interesting. Also maybe he can summon guys to help him so it'd be sort of like Captain Olimar, or Pokemon Trainer, or Ice Climbers.
As for the princess, she'd be either a stage/background prop, or an attack. (falls from the sky crushing anyone below) Or both.

I think every console should have at least one of these. Smash Bros. is still awesome, so if it were like that but with Playstation exclusive characters that would be super cool.
Or they could make Sony vs Microsoft Ultimate All Stars! (Sorry this just reminded me of this image)
In fairness, if you include all of Rare's franchises and Fable for MS, you'd have enough to make a game right there :P
But I just don't think Sony have enough interesting characters. There's a few I'd love to see in it: Parappa the Rapper, Dan Fortesque, Cole and Sackboy. There's a few others that would obviously fit in with that same style, but then are you really going to have someone from Resistance, Nathan Drake, Kratos? The style's don't mesh as well as they do with Nintendo's characters and the roster runs thin much quicker.
If the gameplay is good, it could work.. but I dunno, it's not going to have the mass appeal of Smash Brothers and I just can't see it being any good.

I'm interested in the gameplay. Will it play like Smash Bros? Thats a bit too cartoony of gameplay when you have characters like Nathan Drake or Sweettooth (Needles Kane) though its perfect for Jak or Ratchet. Its also weird you'd have a pyschotic killer clown in a game with an ocelot that does a lot of one liners and a raccoon that steals stuff

Oh, this shouldn't be in the PSN forum. Oh well, if mods could fix that, that would be great.
I don't know where I would move it... this works.
Anyways, it could turn out to be good, but Sony lacks mascots as diverse and fun as Nintendo. If I buy it, it won't be for the cast.
Eh diverse eh what? You might be right on the fun part, but what other company other than Sony have so many different characters such as Jak & Dater / Nathan Drake / Kratos / Scott Shelby / Sackboy / the protagonist from Journey. They might not be as cute and lovable as the Nintendo characters but to say they are not diverse wouldnt be true.

Nope, don't think this is a good idea at all. the charm of the Smash Bros. Series has a lot to do with the cartoony quirkiness of all those Nintendo characters. I just don't see how this fits in with all those Sony characters. From Nathan Drake to Ratchet, to Kratos, to Sly Cooper, etc. It's a weird mix. And if they left out all those human characters, it would be even weirder. I don't even like Smash Bros. that much and the sheer notion of a Sony version of this type of game makes me go "eh? why?!" (with the obvious answer being "Teh Moneyzzz!!").
Also, it weirds me out how unashamedly Sony keeps copying a certain other Japanese console manufacturer's concepts ...

You're right, diverse is the wrong word. It's just hard to imagine them in a mash up style game that would be as memorable as SSB. They lack that... certain something.

They're just thematically and stylistically not as consistent as Nintendo's characters.
