What went wrong?

conception

Too aesthetically off the wall, Nintendo's games are call cartoony and kiddy so you can mash them together and ti looks all right but Sony had realistic characters with cartoons and it is jarring.

Horrible roster.

Hell, they threw in a character NO ONE LIKED (Donte) just because his game was coming out soon.

The ultimate to kill business is what disqualified it from competing against smash at all.

All they had to do was copy smash, but add a fuck load of characters from third part or otherwise.

I would say they kinda buried themselves when the gameplay is similar to Smash.

If they make it like Gundam Versus, I bet it would get praised to high heavens.

sony fans aren't autistic enough to play shitty platform brawlers

Kratos instantly won by pressing square

>Make it so ultimates are needed to actually kill anyone but then make it so half the characters have almost unusable or situational ones while others can get multiple kills without even trying.
Nathan Drake and Kratos are absurd compared to someone like Spike or Dan who have a hell of a time getting any sort of kills with their specials.
>Gain for the ultimates has the same problem where some characters build it so fast and have such good ultimates there's no point in playing anyone else.
>Tries so hard not to be Smash that it goes in a direction that's not fun at all.
>Can't get kills by knocking people off of a stage.
>That horrible roster where it felt like it was more about advertising than anything.
The only good part of the game is that we got those changing stages, seeing something like Patapon and God of War mixed was great.

Spikat happened
/fucking thread

And yet they make an /ss/ ship out of it.

the "me2 disease"
if that was the official cover of the game it looks like shit, these characters all seem copy and pasted from different posters
big daddy, donte, raiden, and abe arent even sony exclusive

I remember really hating the guy marketing the thing.

For a game about the Playstation's most iconic franchises, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro were nowhere to be seen. That's like Smash without Mario and Link.

NO jigglypuff.

Yeah, like Samus, Solid Snake and Bayonetta.

Spikat is cancer

Garbage roster for one. Where is (original ver.)Lara Croft, Crash Bandacoot, Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, Solid Snake, and so on?

Ratchet and Clank are in though.

>/thread-ing your own post

Not really, the anime swordsmen clash really hard with the cartoony stuff. Same with Link and Samus.

>Nintendo's games are call cartoony and kiddy

There are actually a surprising amount of human-sized characters in Smash Bros, especially the latest one.

Fuck off Spikatfag

Awful choices of characters
>non-exclusive
>not popular
>most of the roster would be forgotten in a year or two
shit gameplay
>build up points then hit the super button for kills

>non-exclusive
And yet people wanted Snake, Crash, Could etc, which are even more popular than Sackboy or Kratos
>not popular
there's a lot of forgotten PS characters that still have a bit of importance (such as Ape Escape being the first to use the analog dualshock controller), while also being better than shit like generic beared dude nº35685

This.
They fell for the "Sony has no noticeable vidya character" meme too much, they forgot about him.

The super to kill mechanic was stupid and made some charcters incredibly broken.
Other than that, I really enjoyed Big Daddy's playstyle.

I miss the oc stuff for this game from Sup Forums

>Try to make smash Bros for PlayStation
>Not as many 1st party characters so you need 3rd party even smash Bros sloppy seconds and have to get Ryden instead of Snake
>need supers to kill
>Most charaters design don't work as well
>Shit final bosss

>Not as many 1st party characters
Sony has a lot of 1st party series, they just barely use them, which is why only a few are known.

Wanting to copy Smash Bros without understanding what made Smash Bros Smash Bros. They just put a bunch of their properties in a game together, that's basically the same thing right? Turns out no, it isn't.

Came out six years too late

Why did it have to be a Smash clone?
Could have been something like Project Zone X or Kingdom Hearts.

Parappas ultimate wasn't even controllable, like how other characters went into a mode that gave some resemblance of a fighting chance to avoid it, he just straight up blows up almost the whole stage immediately with a rap

why?

Game had potential, but rival cutscenes are stupid, the only ones that are good are the DLC with Kat, Issac, Graves and that God from GoW.

>All the characters hating each other for no reason
Why can't they be friends?

The character selection is just the tip of the iceberg

Sony doesnt have cherished, recognizable franchises

What would a good roster for this game be?

>Kratos.
>Raiden.
>Dante(not Donte)
>Fucking Cloud.
>Fucking Dark Souls representative.

What would you add, personally?

I want Robbit from Jumping Flash

I was really happy with Spike. Next time I want Specter
The gameplay was complete shit. Whoever had the super-kills idea, as well as anyone who didn't stop him, is an idiot.

Spike could have looked better, though, which can be said for a lot of the characters in the game.

MY ICE CREAM CONE!!!

uh who the fuck is this?
