Put up your dukes Sony fans, the latest episode of GT.TV has introduced the world to the long-rumored PS3-exclusive brawler PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, which is slated to release during Holiday 2012. As the name implies, the SuperBot-developed title will be online multiplayer enabled and pit iconic PlayStation characters against one another in a Super Smash Bros. Brawl-type experience that will feature PlayStation personalities such as Kratos, PaRappa the Rapper, Sweet Tooth and a whole lot more.

In terms of gameplay, Game Director Omar Kendall informed the GT.TV audience that there will be three levels of Supers for each character. In detailing Kratos, Kendall stated that the Level 1 Super is a sword slash attack that impacts combatants within the immediate vicinity while Kratos' Level 2 Super involves slamming his sword into the ground and launching a cyclone that inflicts damage on enemies both near and above. Finally, the Level 3 Super allows Kratos to transform into the Ares Armor and acquire a whole new move set that will leave enemies "fighting for their lives" for the duration of the Super.


As for environments, we learned that anything goes from the included franchises, setting up scenarios where scenery or interactive elements from games like LittleBigPlanet, Patapon, and Buzz! will serve as more than just a backdrop to the brawling. Lastly, we also learned on GT.TV that guest characters from third-party games are not out of the question. In fact, SuperBot told us that "third party is a huge part of PlayStation and we're definitely going to feature some of those characters in our game."

I knew when I read rumours of this, that they were trying to make their own Smash Brothers game. But they are really extracting the urine with this. It can generously be described as a re-skinning!

SSB never did it for me so I think I will be giving this a miss.

Someone from IGN's played it, and made it sound awesome, so I can't wait

Is it just going to be Sony characters does anyone know?

Third party characters will be included.

Oh cool, it'd be a bit drab if it was just Drake, Kratos and a few others.

Sony's not really got the charm or history that nintendo's cast have. Might be good but can't see myself buying it.

If you like the look of this game, you may want to try out Rag Doll on PSN... It's pretty much a basic Super Smash Bros kind of game... I thought it was good at the start, but grew away from it over time...

I've already played this game...........on the Wii, Gamecube, and N64. I was hoping the much-rumoured Sony All-Stars was going to be something a bit less derivative.

I don't understand Sly's special move. He can turn invisible. Maybe it's just me but that's a stupid ability. Sure you need to know where he is to control him, and if you know where he is then the other players will as well. Though if you're playing online I guess you know locally but on their screens, they see nothing.
