Sony fans resorting to listing 3rd party characters for 'Sony Smash Bros' shows

[QUOTE="Demonjoe93"]

Has this game's existence even been confirmed yet? :|

Nintendonly

Is that seriously a message board? That's your source? Look where you get your "news" at before you go around calling people ignorant, 'kay?

EDIT: And the first word in the article's title is "Rumor".

But Sony got ton of 1st party games with charaters in them... so whats the problem?

I think we can all expect Ratchet and Clank to make the cut and more than likely a Chimera even though Insomniac is third party because they would add to the roster AND sell more games for Insomniac.RandomWinner

[QUOTE="Nintendonly"]...how weak their roster actually is, especially since the characters they list have appeared on Nintendo and/or Microsoft platforms for around a decade now (Cloud and Sephiroth were even in the Nintendo handheld Kingdom Hearts titles!), and sometimes even SEGA platforms (Croc and Tomb Raider). Seriously, if you guys think this game actually has a lick of a chance of doing well, you'd better start coming up with characters actually owned by Sony, because they aren't going to be wasting budget money on licensing for characters that are no longer relevant and aren't theirs.ermacness

The butthurt is so strong over a game that's simply a possibility at this point.

Still you don't know what kind of game it will be ;]

It's got to be a first, damage control for a game not even announced.

Just wanted to point out that neither NES Metal Gear game had Kojima's involvement.forgot_it

I don't think so, except maybe Infamous and Twisted Metal (due fact it's yet to be relsed reanimationasfter long time) lot of them are great games and reasons why hard 360 users buy PS3 "just for Exclusives", you surly heard that in SW a lot lot lot times

So the usual Sony haters jump on an start saying how horrible Sony's available cast of charatcers is... How has this thread not been locked? It stink of intentional attacks on others and ignorance.

To get back to the argument that the OP tried to make. You'd be lying through your teeth if you say you've read through a "Which third party character should be in Smash Bros" or "Who would you like to see in Smash Bros." thread and never seen fans list characters from Mega Man, Street Fighter, Tales, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, or whatever else happens to be somewhat popular at the time. Those types of threads practically exploded when we found out that Brawl was going to have third party characters.

It's obvious that Sony doesn't have as strong of a first party IP set than Nintendo, that's not news but the thing that Sony does have is a strong relationship with many third parties compared to Nintendo. I wouldn't be surprised to see Crash, Spyro, Snake or even Cloud in this game.

But they are not owned by Sony, so without SE premission they can't bring them on there own table

Judging a game based off no screenshots, no info, no release date, no nothing.

The simple joys of system wars. :roll:

No 3rd party is going to want their characters in this gameNintendonly

And your proof of this is?

because this game is not even real yet

So we are judging a game when it has no release date, no info, no screenshots, no developing team, etc? Smooth.

Yeah with the exception of the Kratos and the Uncharted cast Sony really doesn't have strong characters. That's not to say they don't have very strong and well rounded franchises though.tomarlyn

Honestly, Nintendo is the only one that can make a strong roster with tons of characters left out. There isn't a huge amount of well-known characters that Sony can use, and Microsoft has next to nothing.

So they're not overloaded with cartoon characters....and this is a bad thing?

I don't know why they're making this tat in the first place.

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"]Yeah with the exception of the Kratos and the Uncharted cast Sony really doesn't have strong characters. That's not to say they don't have very strong and well rounded franchises though.tormentos

but they all have a certain charm and you cant deny that

sony has tons of characters they can use. Enough to fill a game without problem. Killzone,Resistance,Infamous,Ratchet,Jack and daxter,Syphon Filter,God Of war,shadow of the colossus,Ico,ape scape,loco roco,siren,Warhawk,Uncharted,Socom,Sly Cooper,medi evil,Little Big Planet,Spyro. If sony can't get a fighting games from all of those they should quite gaming,and i know there are many more games. tormentos

Characters from those games in a SSB-style fighting game?

And characters in some of the games you listed are not owned by Sony, including Spyro.

Spyro.tormentos

My PS3 library consists of IPs owned by Sony and a few multiplats that ended up better on the PS3 (such as Portal 2).

White Knight Chronicles, Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter, etc... there is enough variety without the need for 3rd parties.

I think the problem lies in the rating of the games. Nintendo games are rated E mostly with some T, even characters that have weapons like link with his sword feels wacky because in the games the enemies just go poof and dissapear, hence no blood or violence.

Sony on the other hand has God of War, a very violent game, and some games for everyone like Little Big Planet and Jak. Now this poses a problem, should Kratos still be like kratos and tear those characters out with all the blood and gore or go the route Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and turn down the violence thus making their characters distant of what they really are.

Still, if this game does come out I would definitely play it with my friends.

Some people are so brainwashed that there is no point in arguing.

Only SW can complain about a game when not a single detail was given yet.

3rd party companies like SEGA and Konami WANTED their characters in Smash Bros

No 3rd party is going to want their characters in this gameNintendonly

Why?

For Siren, it's actually likely that if they put Japan characters in they would put Kyoya Suda in. He was in a fighting minigame mission in the 2nd game.

For all those saying Sony doesnt have many 1st party characters or that some of these characters (ie Uncharted, Killzon, resistance etc) dont fit in this type of game are completely wrong..

My opinion on this subject

1) First of all Sony has many titles from which to get characters ICO, SOTC, Uncharted, Ratchet&Clank, Syphon Filter, GOW, Killzone, Resistance, Lair, Sly, Dexter, WKC, Heavenly Sword, Jax&Dexter, Warhawk/Starhawk, infamous,Twisted metal & so on..

2) There is nothing wrong with having a few extra characters from 3rd party owned devs to compliment the rooster, considering that many still associate characters such as Snake (MGS), Spyro & Crash Bandicoot to name a few with the Playstation..

3) All characters can fit the game, considering that this type of game is for fun, its not a real fighting simulator.. So can throw in a Nathan Drake with special abilities, or else a Helghan soldier equipped with jetpack and an arsenal of weapons, its only up to creativity/imagination.. For this type of game you dont have to go realistic, but all out bombastic powers/moves :)

Finally why are non PS3 owners/fans concerned should Sony create/release such game, its not like they will play it... Relax and move on :)

Wasn't Snake in Brawl, Nintendonly? A Konami character that has appeared on both Sony and Microsoft platforms?
