Yoshida: Playstation All Stars Didn't Do Well Enough For Sequel or more DLC

On IGN's Beyond Podcast, Yoshida talked about Playstation All Stars Battle Royale, Sony's take on Super Smash Bros. that they released as their flagship title last holiday, and he revealed that the game, released on two platforms, managed to sell one million copies worldwide.

While this number sounds good, he was quick to point out this was not enough for a sequel or more DLC.

There was the genesis of a good idea here- the first Smash game, while doing incredibly well commercially, wasn't all that great either, and it took Melee to bring the series to its current glory. Maybe, hopefully, Sony will try the idea again sometime in the future with better results.

They should try again. I didn't buy it though because I don't buy fighters lately.

lol

Shame. I didn't buy the original either, but I was hoping they'd support at least one sequel with major improvements (using the base of the original of course). Ah well.. maybe in the future. In the meantime we'll have Smash to enjoy though :P

Im pretty sad. The game is fun. The only really grip I had was dull menus,musich was eh and They could have made a better story mode.

It might be one of those titles with legs...Weird that SSB can be so successful but a Sony clone can not competeHarlockJC

At least he's straight with hsi answers. Very respectable. Shame, though. Game waas really fun, despite its flaws.

Well I guess my cousin will be sad when I tell him this seeing as he enjoyed it.:P

I never really had any interest in it.:?

It's a fun game but only with a handful of characters. So many of the characters are terrible compared to others and really limited the the amount of feasible characters to use online or when playing with friends. It also didn't help that Sony charges $5 per each DLC character.

LOL not surprising

But since a lot of lems are now jumping ship to the PS4 ..... PS4 exclusives will actually sell

YAY

:P

i personally did not like the gameplay at all. But Then again I dislike super smash bros gameplay as well......

ALSO the character choices were poor. Where is Snake, where is Cloud, where is Crash Bandicoot, where is Dart from legend of Dragoon, where is all the more popluar characters that made Playstation popular in the first place? 

It seemed they only included characters from the ps3 generation to help advertise for their 3rd party publishers like Isaac Clark = Dead Space 3, Young Dante= Devil May Cry reboot, Raiden= Metal gear rising, and so on. Its ridiclous! 

I missed tons of characters they should have used. They should have went all out

Dang, that's a shame. I still love playing it though. Great game in my opinion.

If it wasn't for the demo I might have given this game a chance.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="famicommander"] Smash 64, to this very day, plays much better than PSASBR.famicommander

I think your thinking to highly of smash 64.

Tried the beta and didn't like it at all.

But kudos to Sony for risking it and trying something unique.

[QUOTE="famicommander"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] That is only because Smash 64 doesn't rely entirely on Supers for knock outs; it had a better and much more solid foundation to work from, but it was still a not so well made low budget game at best.finalfantasy94

I think your thinking to highly of smash 64.

nah...smash 64 is deeper and takes more skill than melee and definitely more than brawl.

The PS3 audience was too mature for this
