Gameplay

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royaleis aplatform fighter,similar to the style ofNintendo'sSuper Smash Bros.series.[3][4][5]Up to four players can battle each other using characters from various Sony franchises such asGod of War,PaRappa the Rapper,Infamous,andSly Cooper,as well as third-party franchises likeBioShock.Battles take place on a2Dplane, with players able to freely move around a stage to approach or escape their opponents. Different attacks are performed by pressing one of three attack buttons in combination with a directional input. Players damage their opponents to receive "AP" orbs that build up a power meter at the bottom of the screen. Players can also find orbs scattered across the stage during the match, or can perform throw attacks to remove AP orbs from their opponents. Earning enough power allows players to use one of three levels of special attacks named "Super Moves" which can be used to defeat opponents and earn points. Level 1 super moves have the lowest AP cost but typically cover a short range and can only hit one character; in contrast, Level 3 supers require significant amounts of AP but have an extended duration time and can potentially defeat multiple opponents before they expire.

Battles take place in one of fifteen different battle arenas, with many featuring elements and stage hazards that can damage characters and cause them to lose AP. Each stage is based on a combination of two games, such as "Sandover Village" (based onJak and DaxterandHot Shots Golf), "Dreamscape" (based onLittleBigPlanetandBuzz!), "Stowaways" (based onUnchartedandBioShock Infinite), and "Hades" (based onGod of WarandPatapon).[6]As time passes, a stage's second representation takes hold, usually introducing an additional hazard into the level. During gameplay, item pick-ups will spawn on the battlefield, such as the Hedgehog Grenade fromResistance,the Gravity Shield fromWipeout,Baumusu's Axe fromRise of the Kasai,and Razor Claws fromRatchet & Clank.These items can be used to augment a player or attack an opponent, causing them to lose AP. Both stage hazards and items can be disabled in the game's options menu.

The game features a traditional single-player arcade mode, in which players must defeat several randomly-selected opponents, followed by a character-specific rival battle and, ultimately, a battle against the game's main antagonist andfinal Boss,Polygon Man,the former mascot for the Sony PlayStation in North America.[7]Multiplayer modes include time-based matches, where players compete to achieve the most kills within a time limit; stock-based matches, where players attempt to be the last one standing; and kill-limit matches, where players compete to be the first to reach a certain number of kills. The game also features a single-player challenge mode, in which players attempt to complete specific objectives. Completing matches and fulfilling objectives with a character will gain themexperience points;leveling up a character will unlock bonuses such as in-game costumes, victory animations, and profile icons. Prior to the shutdown of its online multiplayer servers, the game featuredcross-platform playbetween the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita versions.[8]

Development

edit

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royalewas originally going to be developed byNaughty Dog,who was in the middle of the development ofThe Last of Us.[11]Publisher Sony Computer Entertainment therefore decided to form SuperBot Entertainment in 2009 specifically to work on the game.[12][13]Game development began in 2009 with a creative team that included members from several Sony and former third party development teams. Omar Kendall, formerly a designer on theUFCseries, theBackyard Wrestlingfranchise, andX-Men: Next Dimension,assumed the role of game director after joining SuperBot.[14]In early 2011, it was discovered that the independent studio based in California, SuperBot Entertainment, was working on an un-announced "combat heavy" multiplayer title for the PlayStation 3.[15]In November 2011, images of the game (then codenamed asTitle Fight) popped up online, showing Sweet Tooth from theTwisted Metalseries and Kratos fromGod of War.It was claimed the game features a number of Sony mascots such as Parappa the Rapper, Sly Cooper, Nathan Drake (Uncharted), Colonel Mael Radec (Killzone) and Fat Princess. Arenas include a Sandover Village stage (fromJak & Daxter), aHot Shots Golfstage, aLittleBigPlanetstage and aBuzz!trivia mini-game.[16]

SuperBot Entertainment was linked as developer of the game, who confirmed to be working on a "very amazing PS3 game" for Sony Computer Entertainment America.[16]According to a job advert, SuperBot was after a senior combat designer with "a strong familiarity with fighting games and fighting game theory".[16]Another job advert asked for a lead designer with "a strong familiarity with online mode and matchmaking design as they apply to console gaming".[16]WhenEurogamercontacted Sony to ask about the rumor that they were making a "PlayStation 3 exclusiveSmash Bros.rival ", Sony declined to comment stating" we do not comment on rumor or speculation ".[16]

In April 2012, the namePlayStation All-Stars Battle Royalewas revealed via a Sony survey that asked gamers what they thought of the name of the game, and the game itself, which was uncovered and published byPlayStation Lifestyle.The site claimed the PlayStation 3 exclusive would be announced atE3the following June.[17]Shortly after this, Sony registered the domain for playstationallstarsbattleroyale, alongside the shorter playstationallstars.[18]On April 23, 2012, a tweet by the newly formed SuperBot Entertainment Twitter page said: "Boot sequence initiated."[19]At the same time,GTTVpromised to reveal a major new PlayStation exclusive on April 26.[20]The game was officially revealed on the April 26, 2012 episode ofGTTVasPlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.[21]

In May 2012, in an interview toDigital Trends,game director Omar Kendall was asked about the possibility of a PlayStation Vita version ofPlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale,and he simply replied, "Maybe... stay tuned."[22][23]A Vita version was announced at theE3 2012,to be developed byBluepoint Games,and was confirmed to feature cross-play with the PlayStation 3.[8]In July 2012, it was announced that formerCapcomcommunity manager andEvolution Championship Series(Evo) co-founder Seth Killian had taken a role atSanta Monica Studio,where he would assistPlayStation All-Starsdeveloper Superbot Entertainment.[24]

Several public and private multiplayer betas were held between July and October 2012.[25][26][27]The multiplayer betas featured a limited roster of characters and stages, and were used to test server loads, matchmaking, and cross-platform play between PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.[28][29][30]In late July, files found in one of the multiplayer beta versions of the game pointed to an array of unannounced characters and stages, including levels set in the worlds ofResistance,Uncharted 3,PaRappa the Rapper,LittleBigPlanet,Killzone,LocoRoco,BioShock Infiniteand more. An array of character names were also uncovered inside the demo's files, includingDmC: Devil May Cry's Dante, Evil Cole fromInfamous,Raiden fromMetal Gearand others. A number of leaks uncovered the information, which started on Reddit. Resourceful users of the GameFAQs forums and NeoGAF each added more information, which also included a list of in-game items.[31][32]SuperBot producer Chan Park later acknowledged the leak's legitimacy, though he noted that changes had been made since the beta build's development and that the leaked content did not fully reflect the content found within the final game.[33]The last of the leaked characters were officially announced on August 31, 2012.[34][9]

On August 13, 2012, SuperBot Entertainment announced that the game had been delayed by one month from its original October 2012 release to November 2012. Chan Park claimed that the delay "will let us spend more time polishing and tuning the game, and it will give us a chance to incorporate some of the great feedback we're receiving from the current limited beta to ensure we are creating the best possible fighting game experience."[35]

As part of Sony's cross-buy initiative, players who purchased the PlayStation 3 version received a voucher for a free copy of the PlayStation Vita version.

edit

Killian also mentioned that Kat and Emmett, along with all future potential DLC characters, would be treated "just like the 20 launch characters," complete with single-player story modes, minions, trials, unlockable costumes, and more content.[40]The DLC was released on February 12, 2013. Players are still able to access downloadable content stages in online ranked matches even if they do not own the content. Additional costumes and minions are also available to purchase as DLC.[41]After Sony Computer Entertainment ended its working agreement with Superbot Entertainment in January 2013, it was announced that forthcoming DLC would be handled by Santa Monica Studio.[42]On February 27, 2013, Zeus from theGod of Warseries and Isaac Clarke from theDead Spaceseries were revealed as the second set of downloadable characters.

Shortly afterE3 2013,Shuhei YoshidaofSCE Worldwide Studioscommented on future DLC releases, mentioning the game's sale of 1 million units but claiming "it was not enough to have the momentum in terms of a business standpoint to continue to add characters or do a sequel".[45]BothAbefrom theOddworldseries and Dart fromThe Legend of Dragoonwere planned for release as downloadable characters, along with a stage based onGravity RushandJourney;however, due to low sales of previous content, development on this content was cancelled.[46][47]On August 4, 2013 Santa Monica Studios confirmed that there would be no more DLC characters or stages, but said that they planned on releasing four outfits formerly exclusive to those who pre-ordered the game, as well as skins for Zeus and Isaac.[48]

Server shutdown

edit

In September 2018, Sony notified players that the multiplayer servers for several of their PlayStation 3 titles, includingPlayStation All-Stars,would be shut down the following month. Sales of the game's online pass were also halted in preparation for this change. The shutdown was later pushed back to January 31, 2019, at which point all of the game's online features were disabled.[49]

Reception

edit

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royalereceived generally average reviews. Critics praised the game's multiplayer and fighting mechanics, but criticized its lack of content, still images in campaign mode and few cutscenes.[62][63]The use of super moves as the only way to defeat a player had mixed reception.[63][64]While some critics thought it lacked depth, others believed that filling up the meter to land a knock-out added strategy to an otherwise only decent fighting experience.[65]The game currently holds a 74 score for the PlayStation 3 version and a 75 score for the PlayStation Vita version onMetacritic.[50][51]

Video game talk showGood Game's two presenters both gave the game a 6 out of 10. While the game's combat mechanics were praised, criticism was drawn towards the "flawed" Super Moves mechanic, saying, "In most fighting games each attack you do is chipping away your opponent's health bar. Or inSmash Bros.it's adding to their damage counter, and the higher their damage the further your attacks knocked them, but in this game all you have is the super meter! Each attack adds fuel to it. But if you miss with your super, all the attacking you did for the last few minutes amounts to nothing. Essentially all your progress is erased ". The selection of playable characters also drew criticism, as the hosts felt many of the characters were added due to their marketing appeal rather than appropriateness for a fighting game.[66]

PaRappacharacter designer Rodney Greenblat was happy to see PaRappa return to video games, but wasn't happy to see him in a violent game. "I'm very happy that PaRappa is making a bit of a comeback, but not so happy about him being in a weapon filled battle game. Actually the Battle Royal game is fun, and I have to do what I can to get Parappa back in the game scene. My hope is that Sony realizes the golden true potential of Parappa and asks me to design some new games. I've learned a lot, and I think Parappa could be great again," said Greenblat.[67]

IGNgave the game an 8/10, declaring "It combines characters, environments and ideas into a tight package that’s worthy of consideration for anyone who owns a PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita and considers themselves a brand loyalist or simply a longtime fan... I know it’ll be hard for some skeptics to believe, but PlayStation All-Stars is its own game, and it even happens to do some things better than what inspired it."[59]GameSpotgave the game a 6.5/10, commenting "There are better, more fluid games out there for the serious fighter, and there are more accessible ones for those interested in a bit of silliness. In attempting to mix the two,PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royalemerely ends up being competent at both and the master of neither. "[5]

On December 21, 2012, the game was nominated forIGN's Best Overall Fighting Game and won theIGNPeople's Choice Award.[68]

TheAcademy of Interactive Arts & SciencesawardedPlayStation All-Stars Battle RoyalewithFighting Game of the Yearduring the16th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards.[69]

Sales and future

edit

Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that over a million copies of the game had been sold by June 12, 2013, though he conceded that, at the time, this was not enough to justify a sequel or developing further DLC for the game.[45]He stated that while he was personally happy with the cross-over implementation of the characters and worlds, he saw more potential for it to come together using different gameplay mechanics.[45]In August 2013, afree-to-playminigame collection,PlayStation All-Stars Island,was released foriOSdevices as a cross-promotion withCoke Zero.[70]The game was later made available forAndroidplatforms as well, but both platforms only saw a limited release in specific European territories.[70]

Legacy

edit

In February 2013,Sony Computer Entertainmentcut ties with Superbot and the company was seeking a new publisher.[71][72]
