No stages from the originals will return. All the stages in this game are completely newly made from the ground up. I will say that the Bloodborne stage is my personal favorite I've seen, with the music and mash up being something I'm sure fans will love.
The game will now have life bars, but you still build up a meter for an ultimate attack.
The game is expected to launch next year around the fall. Hope you guy are excited!
You think Konami would allow their characters to be in if Kojima is now buddy buddy with Sony?

Why does everyone not like the Million Monkeys design of Spike?

What's your dream roster, Sup Forums?
Juan Peterson
I actually enjoyed the first game to a degree, even though it was complete and utter shit
Dylan Thompson
It looks a bit "meh" compared to the first and the Big Mission ones, since it doesn't feel like it needed to happen.
Meanwhile, PSASBR made the look even worse.

Man that game blew ass. >its seriously not a smash bros rip off, i swear! And rightfully no, not a single person bought that for a second.

awshitcuz

At least the shitty supers to kill is gone.
Dylan Richardson
Thank god

Sony Smash sounds way better than actual Smash. If they don't fuck it up like what they did to the original then this could give smash a run for it's money.
Anthony Butler
if this is true (which i highly doubt it is).
my man Dr. Nefarious is going to be legit my main day 1.
Joshua Diaz
Can we please stop these fucking PlayStation All-Stars 2 threads? I feel like everyday i see someone claiming that it will happen even though they show no fucking proof,
Andrew Peterson
all this non exclusive characters for a playstation only crossover game but no Ico nor Wander RREEEEEEEEEEEE
Xavier Adams
If they have Bentley but no Murray or even Carmelita I'm gonna be pissed.
Noah Evans
>Carmelita's special attack is her being giant
Hudson Wood
SLY OR BUST
If he aint in, not interested, it is a corporal fucking sin if he isnt in, and he better get a decent 3 ult that isnt the binocucom.
William Ward
Sly will obviously be in it. If he isn't then Sony is actually retarded.
Jason Jackson
They better give us better looking models.
Robert Lewis
You doubt the retardation of Sony user?
Do you really doubt the retardation of any current age console franchise manager?
Jaxon Harris
What the fuck is wrong with Ratchet?

We all know Knack will be in

Alexander Clark
yes
Logan Ward
I want to believe you OP, but there's been so many leaks like PS All-Stars Round 2, that I just can't anymore.
Kayden Evans
>no stages from the original will return
nigga the Buzz/Little Big Planet stage is the best stage in any Smash Bros, clone or otherwise.
Cooper Mitchell
The last game stupidly tried to be different with the KO system to disastrously boring results. If there's ever a sequel it would behoove them to just go full Smash rip-off.
Brayden Ramirez
Add on: Crash Spyro Gex Calypso Lammy Pyramid Head Lara Croft Max Payne Captain Quark Tomba Aloy Big Boss or Snake Murray Gado The Lion Bitch from the new infamous Jersey Devil
Benjamin Hill
fake no Abe. Him and Dart were in the works for DLC but they cancelled it. Why would they not put him in the second?
Logan Morales
I just want to say that OP has posted something that is very close to what I posted a week or so ago, but he has made some mistakes with this leak. He has some of the characters right, except that these characters were not in the demo that very few including me were shown.
The demo only had a few characters ready, which did not include Dr. Nefarious, Bentley, Dart, or Classic Dante. The demo had everyone else, including Parappa, Nathan Drake, Ratchet and Kratos from the first game.
Another thing he got wrong, the game is being revealed in October and then will have a gameplay and character reveal at PSX. There also wasn't a Bloodborne stage, and he didn't even say the name of the stage.
The demo I was shown had PlayStation Arena, Wumpa Island, Mementos and Tearaway.
Here is the original thread. See you in October.
Jackson Martinez
also, Nemesis and the girl from Parasite eve
Oliver Reyes
Why didn't they pad the first game with side characters and antagonists? That's what Smash does, they could have easily filled out a nice roster if they did. For example Sully from Uncharted or Carmelita from Sly
Joseph Lewis
well, there was evil cole, Zeus, and Radec Also, no clones besides Evil Cole, unlike Smash where half the roster are clones
Asher Murphy
U-1 or any gitaroo man representation? probably not real but its fun to pretend
David Taylor
I'm not at all opposed to a sequel, I just don't trust Sony to get it right.
Ian Turner
I wish this was real.
PSABR was more fun than smash was before they fucked it.
Jaxson Barnes
>aloy
Luke Foster
You already made this thread. You claimed it was being revealed at E3. Fuck off.
Oliver Cox
What the fuck is it about this particular game that attracts so many fake "leaks"?
Luis Taylor
>The game will now have life bars This part I hope is fake, but is most likely to be true since everyone loved to complain about a perfectly fine and interesting mechanic that worked great with the game. Only issue was the game's balance being awful but that had nothing to do with the system, shame the more original part of it is getting removed due to retarded reasoning. Especially since the common shitpost is "Smash clone!" followed by "why isn't this more like Smash?".
Nathaniel Baker
That's not how Ratchet looked in game.
Parker Taylor
honestly if they balanced supers it could be cool, some characters could only get confirmed kills with their level 3s
Wyatt Evans
One can dream. I want the legendary theme as my victory music
Jack Rivera
By the way OP, if you actually did see a demo and were shown it in secret with Sony's press relations group then you would know how to respond to the following:
E38G5XM9
Jose Hughes
What the hell does that mean lol?
Alexander Watson
If you are actually the leaker from before prove it.
Like you said you were in europe, but it's like 4am there right now. Shouldn't you be sleeping.
Ryder Adams
That's really all they had to, have a competent and experienced team making and balancing the characters. The system works well and gives you more to think about in a fight while still being straightforward. Props to Superbot for at least coming up with the framework, but they were woefully underqualified and underbudgeted for the task, so a second stab at it would have been perfect. I think at least by the end of the game's lifecycle every character had a level 2 confirm but it didn't matter with all the other balance issues. I want Alundra in more than anything, but Toan, Max/Monica, Jaster and Leonard from the Level 5 games, Justin and Ryudo or more from the Grandia series, William-sama from Nioh, and Keats/Ellen from Folklore would be amazing.
Charles Cruz
>literal whos Crash bandicoot
Christopher Stewart
Not him but where do you think we are?
Connor Rodriguez
I'm on a holiday starting tomorrow. Taking my place for the week is another colleague of mine, who will be writing the Mario and Rabbids thoughts article that I was going to write. It's fine though, since he also went to the press event in France and E3 with me to try the game.
Jace Cruz
The thing that makes this fake is that Game Arts tweeted that they aren't developing the game. They stated that twice on their Twitter.
Also an October reveal absolutely makes no sense either. Sony always reveals their big games this generation at events. They are not doing Paris Games Week this year, so I doubt any of this leak is true.
Jackson Stewart
Ok, tell us something about the PlayStation Arena game that you haven't mentioned on the leak. I don't care how small it is.
Jack Wilson
Yeah this guy is making a lot of good points. Just checked their twitter and they clearly say they are not developing the game.
This guy sounds more legit than you no offense. Scroll up and down for more.
Dylan Allen
Other than the stuff from that old thread that's now archieved from a week ago, I did remember Nathan Drake's voice sounding off. Someone else there also told me Parappa's voice sounded weird too. I think they got new VAs for those two characters.
Parappa
Connor Gonzalez
They probably haven't done their VO work imo. I swear to god if they have different VOs for Drake and Parappa then what the fuck.
Also are the level 1, 2, and 3 supers or does everyone just have 1 super attack. If so what were Drake's and Kratos'
Jaxon Roberts
Leaker guy can you comment on that. We won't hurt you if you made this up.
Asher Jackson
You said Game Arts was developing the game, They said on Twitter they aren't. You think they are lying?
Nathaniel Price
I also want to know this. The original post made me confused whether or not there are 3 levels of supers or there is just a super meter for one ultimate attack.
Jordan Powell
Lol what the fuck. You think Sony would actually send some cult like code to show off their games?
Juan Scott
About this whole Game Arts twitter situation.
I know it's not like companies to flat out deny working on stuff via social media, but Game Arts and Sony are keeping this well under the rug. I didn't expect that leak from a week ago to spread as far as I thought. I honestly expected one "fake and gay" response and that's that. Someone from management came into our office to investigate, but I deleted my browser history on my phone and was posting before I got home, meaning my IP from the post is most likely at the train station half way from home. (Multiple people including people with me take this route home anyway)
I swear on my life this game is real. I'm sorry if this sound cheese as fuck, but I want you all to be excited since that CG trailer they have for the October reveal doesn't look exciting at all. (Although it could be just that it's an early render of the film)
Ryder Flores
Cool choice. The voices might be because they haven't done retakes yet or something. Have they given any reasoning about why they changed to a health system? I know what they might say but hearing it from the horse's mouth is always something else. If it's not too late and they really are thinking of going with health then would you perhaps be able to sway them back to the original system or at least show there's demand for it's return?
Jacob Jackson
So you think this guy is lying then? He sounds like he knows a whole lot about it too
Cooper Howard
Could you clarify the comments on the other thread about Lammy, Dante, Klonoa and a SEGA rep being considered? Is that for launch or DLC. Did the developers mention them or someone asking a question mention those characters?
Idk it seems weird for a developer to talk about who is in the game beyond the demo roster.
Christian Harris
What else did the developers/presenters say during the presentation? Anything of note?
Xavier Miller
The game's director, who I will keep anonymous said that those characters are examples of characters they would like to include, but still need permission to do so. They were mentioned when I asked about what other characters they had the idea of including in the game.
Kayden King
Most of what I was shown or told was already posted by me in the thread from last week where I leaked the full demo roster.
Adam James
I hope to god that the game director is Seth Killian. He did help on the original PSAS and would be awesome to see him carryover to the sequel.
Levi Phillips
Where ma nigga Blasto?
Noah Bailey
In your opinion why would Sony reveal this in October. They haven't revealed a big Sony game this generation that wasn't at an event.
If the game isn't revealed at October, you think it's possible that it would be postponed to PSX?
Levi Roberts
Is it a CG reveal only or will there be gameplay footage too, or perhaps even a playable show demo? I'm cautious about it's existence and that they'd remove the main thing that made the game unique even if it was real but overall I'm still excited about the potential and concept coming back. Speaking of a playable demo, the free online Beta that released for the first game was a great idea that was essentially what led to me buying the game day 1 full price so something similar would be awesome.
Kevin Hill
So from the demo you saw, does the game have level 1, 2, and 3 supers like the last game. Or does every character just have one ultimate attack? And did you see Drake's and Kratos' ultimate attack or only Morgana's and Crash's?
Charles Sanchez
Sony want to build up mystery of what the gameplay is going to be like, and what the roster is going to be like in October. In December (PSX) they will show the gameplay trailer that shows a handful of characters.
CG trailer in October, gameplay and playable demo on the show floor. Not sure about an open beta unfortunately. Haven't heard anything about it.
Jason Walker
The last thread you mentioned that in Morgana's ultimate attack the person gets a choice whether to give up a life or suffer a devastating attack? Why is that a choice? Wouldn't anyone just pick the latter?
Jonathan Harris
Can you please comment on this other guy who also says there is a sequel in devleopment? He said he a very early build after R&C released last year. I was wondering what you think about the info he told
Leo Diaz
How could I forget Blasto? Wouldn't be the same without Phil Hartman though.
Angel Torres
The demo I was shown had characters only have one super move. I only saw Crash's and Morgana's used in the match, not Kratos or Nathan Drake's unfortunately. Crash has him use the Aku Aku mask to be invisible and deal lots of damage. Morgana's has The Phantom Thieves hold whoever the super move is used on at gun point, and would either be robbed of a life or will suffer and all out attack.
If they choose to take a life, the victim gets a death counted but Morgana does not gain anything. Morgana does gain a kill if he KOs them with his super move.
Luis Watson
I don't think he's real in all honesty. You could say the same about me I guess, but I don't really know what else to say about this guy.
Jace Jenkins
Is the game director a prolific guy? Like someone hardcore gamers know? Or is it an unknown?
Also I'd like to know. Does the game look good? Like I liked how the last game looked but at times it can look sterile (like the Sandover village stage had no vibrancy). Do the character models and stages look alive and crisp? Did they mention anything about online play?
Jeremiah Garcia
So if the gameplay is gonna be revealed at PSX? Why would they show you this like in the middle of summer. Is your article gonna be posted on October then talking only about the announcement trailer and not the gameplay? Cause you said Sony want to keep the gameplay a mystery.
Carson Turner
The director is someone that not everyone is too familiar with, but has been involved with fighting games in the past.
The game has a much better art style than the first game. The visuals look a lot like Sm4sh, although lighting and cel shaded characters like Morgana look better than lighting and Toon Link in Sm4sh. The game looks a lot faster than the first game as well, a lot more fluid movement from the characters.
Sony are basically prepping us to write positive articles and are paying us to do so. Even the CG reveal they want us to say great (silly imo) things like "It's great now that Crash Bandicoot is in, meaning the game has a more sellable character than Parappa" or "Aloy will be a great addition to the cast, as the ratio of male and female characters in the first game was limited"
Wyatt Garcia
Does Morgana look like he was ripped out of Persona 5 and look unified with the other characters? And I presume Crash has the same model he does in the N Sane Trilogy.
Also how is Spyro in the game? Doesn't Toys for Bob have an iron grip on Spyro?
Camden Allen
Lol Sony fucking kills me.
Did you see any character select screen or stage select screen? If so, what version of Spyro is it. Classic or Skylanders?
Adam Martinez
Spyro was not in the demo I saw, and was not yet confirmed by the developers that he would be in the game.
Morgana's model I can't really tell if it's ripped or not, but it surprisingly looks pretty unified alongside non cartoony characters somehow. Also yes, Crash resembles the N Sane Trilogy design.
James Lewis
Curious to know how the Persona stage plays out? What happens in the background, anything interacting with the players? When does the WipEout transition start and how does it affect the stage and players?
Brayden Flores
You mentioned Spyro on the last post though...
Aw man please tell me you didn't fuck with us. I wanted this to be real so bad.
Kevin Gutierrez
I see, thanks. Something like the open beta (though betas are always just demos with another name now) before release would be an excellent way to advertise the game, and even releasing the stage demo on PSN would be nice. Hint hint.
Christopher Diaz
Did they mention anything about online play, and anything on more modes and unlockables?
