I was 14 when PSASBR originally came out and i didn't play many games back then, so i didn't know or i wasn't familar with a good chunk of the roster.
I knew Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ape Escape, Tekken, Medievil (I played it at a relative's house) characters as i played their games.
I didn't play any God of War, Killzone, Uncharted, inFamous, LittleBigPlanet, Dead Space and Bioshock but i recognized the series and choosen characters.
I knew about Dante (well the old one anyways xD) because of playing Marvel vs Capcom 3.
I did not know about Nariko, Parappa, Sweet Tooth, Toro Inoue, Kat, Emmet Graves and Fat Princess nor their series at all, so PSASBR introduced me to them.
If you didn't know any character, have you played any of their games? I personally tried a bit of an Uncharted game, sadly i didn't go pretty far as i was busy.

Someone knows how to play online today? the game's server closed🥲

Some characters I may have forgotten but what do you think? I reckon some good rival matches here!

I mean, Nintendo has the Platform Fighter, Xbox has the Traditional 2D Fighter. PlayStation with the 3D Fighter would be a pretty neat idea, each big companies having their sector of that pie. That and folks would quit complaining about being a Smash ripoff.

Also, I don't mean 3D Fighter in the style of Tekken and VirtuaFighter or Arena Fighter in the style of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm or Dragon Ball Budokai, but more something between Dead or Alive and Kill La Kill If. Better yet would be something just like Pokken Tournament's Field Mode.

The transition for most characters wouldn't be too difficult or jarring since they'd go from on type of 3D game to another. I also feel like it would grant us with even more imaginative arenas to fight on.

What do yall think about this?

If Playstation All Stars gets a announcement in the next State of Play, I will eat a shoe on live.

Kat and Emmet has some story behind it, resulting in one of the few cutscenes that make sense for them to fight. On the other side of the spectrum, Radec decides to kill Sir Daniel for... mumbling? Let me know your thoughts!

The other day on Thursday, I finally got to play PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale, via ps3 emulator. It felt so earned to me finally getting to play this, as I have always wanted to for years but it was never possible. Now I have and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure if the hype would live up to it, but I had a good time. The characters I played as all felt fun, good move sets feeling authentic to them, and all unique super abilities. The super ability being the only way to take out your opponents, honestly didn't feel bad, because they make it easy to at least get to super's 1 or 2. The stage transitions were also so cool and so fun. Me and my friend had a good time playing it, and making a video out of it. I'm glad I got to finally play the game, well worth the wait.

I recently got back into the game now that I have a cfw ps3 slim. I got the idea about making a fan run server for the online multiplayer the other day since we will probably never get a follow up game. I quickly learned that you would literally have to reverse engineer the server API, have the server running 24/7, and make it publicly accessible so that others could join or host games whenever they so desire. Reverse engineering the multiplayer API might also let you figure out implementing roll back net code if the game doesn't have it already.

I do not even begin to know software engineering, let alone know enough to reverse engineer a server API for a game that's over 10 years old. I already have issues committing to huge time sinks.. I better not try to learn something just to make a fan server for a game Sony will probably never revisit. anyone here have experience with software engineering?

you might could also "project m" the game as well

Hey all!

Wanted to let you know that I'm bringing PSASBR to EVO this year! Come meet up for a casuals session on the final day of EVO:

AMA (but don't get too serious)

This is a fake crash leak in PlayStation All-Stars, I remember this from 2012 and wanted to ask, what model of crash is this? It looks a lot like Mind Over Mutant model but with Twinsanity arms, and his face looks like a mix of those two designs.

I don’t think I doing Arcade mode or anything on All-Star difficult for maybe reason. Certain characters is not worth playing on All-Star mostly going against AI character that can do so much combo. I want to do those challenges in the goal section in the main menu. But it down right unfair on All-Star mode. Only way you can win if you get to Lvl 3 but not a lot of character can gain AP so fast. Do people don’t like the AI in this game? Mostly when they are in All-Star difficulty? The balance of this game baffles me to this day.

I know this won't have Cloud, Crash, Dante, Spyro, Snake or even Lara Croft, but I wanted to focus on just first-party Sony-ownes games.

Hello there everyone. First time posting here, and I was actually surprise to find there is an active reddit community for this game.

I have never actually played All Stars myself, but I have been obsessed with the game though and it's concept as a PlayStation version of Smash Bros. It introduced me to most of these games and their characters, and I used to love watching videos of it back in the day on the Smosh Games YouTube channel.

So I was wondering if people here knew if the game is backwards compatible for PS4, and I suppose PS5? I saw that it's available on Amazon for a cheap price, but wasn't sure if my PS4 could run it. So does anyone know?

Please note that GTAVI hasn’t come out yet, so i didn’t include the main character from that game.

So I got the game running on the RPCS3 emulator, but it runs poorly. I have an Intel core i5 with a GTX 1650, 8 gb of ram. The game runs in slow motion. I tried all the RPCS3 optimization settings for lower end pcs but still no luck.
