I would have to agree, with those who stated SONY doesn't have a mascot. It's just as mant stated, Kratos doesn't and can't appeal to everyone! A mascot has to be able to do just that, appeal to everyone! As far as the rumored SONY smash bros type game goes, I think it's TOO late for them to even attempt it! This concept was better suited for PS2, I mean the # of exclusive characters was immense: Dante, Solid Snake, Kratos, Samanoske, Jubei, etc... although this would definitely be a mature title! The PS3, has no where near the amount of exclusive characters the PS2 had! Therefore this title (if made) will not be as big as it could've been. (if at all) In fact if made, my assumption is it will be made a E type game, and Kratos (if used) will be watered down, because they can have Kratos tearing sackboy apart! Although Kratos did make a cameo in Hot Shots Golf: Out Of Bounds, but that was golf! It would be nice to see Keats & Kratos go at it, but alas that's M territory...
That's what it appears to be, Leon, Chris and the 3rd character (ex mercenary, seen in trailer) It is possible, that Capcom has brought that RE:1, character selection system back, as a bit of nostalgia for older fans of the series! In fact I think that, it's highly likely this is the case considering, they've announced that players would play as all 3 characters! I'll say your right to say, it's three games in one, as Capcom has made it clear that the game will "span" the globe (i.e globetrotting) so the locations should vary greatly! I also believe that Chris, Leon and the ex-mercenary all play differently, so these elements would indeed be like games unto themselves!
It really just comes down to the sheer volume of games, that were available! I mean there were so many diverse games[unlike now], (i.e. JRPG's, Puzzle, Party, Action, Adventure, Racing, Fighting, etc...) and the PS2 was at the heart of it!! Any games mentioned in reference to what made last gen great, are solely opinions. There wasn't a single title that definitely made last gen great, it was more a collection of games! The user above me posted some great ones, GOW I & II, Xenosaga Series, Shadow Of Colossus, NFS: Most Wanted, Onimusha! I'll note a few as well: Okami Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne Resident Evil: Code Veronica X Tekken Tag Tournament Dynasty Warriors 3 Star Ocean: Until The End Of Time Devil May Cry Tekken 5 King Of Fighters 2000/2001 Devil Kings That's just a few, if you really want to know why? get a PS2 (their cheap now, as are certain games) and experience the greatness for yourself!
If LBP2, is anything like the LBP, then you should be able to backup/save your game data from the control console in LBP2 (the space with the PS3 controller) via the menu.
