E3 2012: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Demo

looks ok

oh dear lord this looks ridiculous

Looks a bit wonky

If i can play as Dart from Legend of Dragoon I'll be very interested .

super smash brothers battle royale

This was actually better looking than exspected.

Idea sounds good, but that E3 demo was so boring and lifeless.

I don't get why everyone is so down on this :(

Kind of loses the tension without the percent health system, but I guess it could be interesting. I think I might be done with that type of game anyways...

I don't see damage percentage or lives indicated anywhere. Is it strictly just whoever has the most kills after a set time?

Why have I never heard of this "Fat Princess" character? The whole cast seems kinda odd and hodgepodge to me really.

I don't understand the appeal of this game at all. That said it makes sense that I feel that way since I don't get the Smash Bros. love either.

That man's pants were a wee bit too tight.

I was super interested when hearing about it, but the game seems so lifeless to me. It lacks that certain charm, but maybe it's because I don't have that nostalgia for Playstation characters.

If anything they need to put a little more flash into the character's regular attacks.

ED MA IS A CHEATER. HE CHEATED AT EVO AND CHEATED AT THIS GAME WITH FAT PRINCESS.

LONG LIVE ED MA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GDLK.

Fat Princess has a few moves that seem real similar to to another princess in a different party brawler game.

That was just boring, really boring

There's no telling exactly how cool this game will be, but regardless I want it.

So you die in one hit from an enemy's super move? And then you respawn and instantly die again if they're still spun up? Unless there are mechanics in place to delay/steal an opponents super meter, these seem like bad game design decisions.

Great job Jeremy.

I see the number 1 just turned into the number 2. Yup, it's a level 2 super. I don't think he's going to use it. Or he might. He might also be working towards a level 3 super. Oh, she's got a level 1 super as well. She might use her super right now. Let's watch.

If I played Brawl with smash ball kills only, I'd be pretty down on that too. Let's hope this has a couple modes which are less about supers and more about kills with normal attacks.

Just... just steal the Smash Bros. damage and death mechanics. Seriously. This supers mechanic seems okay, but it feels like they're just trying to differentiate themselves in the least effective way possible. A way that makes the game less fun.

Other than that though, I'm actually pretty excited for this.

This has been bothering the fuck out of me: is there ANY way to tell how much damage they've taken?

I am interested in what other 3rd part characters they get into this game along with the Big Daddy.

@Dark_Lord_Spam: well there is no health to keep track of. supers just kill instantly and normal attacks are there just to build up the meter, not to do damage.

@Krelwy: Thanks for the response. I have to say, though, that seems way less exciting than the pseudo-ring-out mechanic that Smash Bros. has.
