Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale details on Katt and Emmett - special moves, supers and more

Posted by DreamKing23 — December 4, 2012 at 11:45 a.m. PST

SuperBot Game Director, Omar Kendall, posted an entry on the Playstation Blog recently giving a bit of detail on the newly announced Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale DLC characters, Katt and Emmett. Kendall touches on different subjects including mobility, special moves, supers and this blog comes equipped with some great screen shots as well.

Below is a bit to get you started.

Gravity Rush landed on PlayStation Vita earlier this year, introducing us to Kat. Her tremendous gravity powers, combined with a really charming personality made her an instant fan favorite, and thus an obvious candidate for PlayStation All-Stars. When looking at Kat’s play style in Gravity Rush two things immediately stood out to us: her reliance on aerial mobility and her arsenal of powerful kick-based attacks. We felt it was important to use these two elements as the cornerstone of Kat’s play style, and as such, her move set in PlayStation All-Stars makes liberal use of both.

For example, Kat doesn’t have a double jump! Instead, she relies on her Gravity Dash, an eight-direction mini-flight mode to move through the air. This cancellable move affords Kat an unprecedented degree of air mobility and attack potential

Seth Killian: If a new fighting game doesn't incorporate a player's time investment and skill set from previous games, they're prone to disapprove

Posted by DreamKing23 — November 26, 2012 at 12:02 p.m. PST

Eurogamer conducted a very intricate interview with Sony Santa Monica's Seth Killian recently with the primary focus being Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. Killian talks on many different topics including his history with Capcom and the migration to Sony Santa Monica, how he feels if a new fighting game is released that doesn't incorporate a player's skill set of their favorite fighting games, they may not approve of it right away and more.

Below is a bit to get you started.

“If I'm quite good at Arcade Edition 2012 and Street Fighter 5 comes out and it doesn't play exactly like Street Fighter 4 or it doesn't reward the skills I've built in, I will be thumbs down about it or inherently resistant to it. I have a literal investment. Obviously there's the cost of the game, but there's thousands of hours I've spent practising to be really good at this game and really mastering the details of it.

“So when something comes out that potentially doesn't reward my exact skill set, I'm going to be reticent and resistent to it. It's hard to get past that and appreciate the value of what's new. If a new game comes out and everybody likes it, and they're like, ah yeah, Street Fighter 4, that's the old stuff, no-one cares about that old man! You're like, oh, my investment. It's now worth that much less.

Seth Killian's 10 tips on how to improve in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale

Posted by DreamKing23 — November 25, 2012 at 7:06 p.m. PST

Sony Santa Monica's Seth Killian recently divulged 10 tips on how to improve your gameplay in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. These tips focus on various areas including how to play effectively in free-for-all, how to build AP quickly, tips on taking out the final boss and more.

Below is a bit to get you started.

5. How to survive on All-Star difficulty

Besting arcade mode on the All-Star difficulty is tough like a tattooed diamond – and to crack that particular nut you’ll need to master the art of eliminating multiple foes at once. ‘If you’re judicious with your level 1 specials and are able to take out 1, sometimes 2, maybe 3 opponents,’ Killian suggests. ‘Pay attention to your moves and try to maximise your AP.’ This means short, snappy combos that you can quickly duck out of if another opponent approaches from behind. Make frequent use of evade, and be sure your specials are going to hit before you execute them.

6. Look after the environment

Often the arena itself will slam down an attack – Hades is a constant menace in God of War’s ‘Underworld’ stage for example, while Metal Gear Ray can make an appearance with stinger missiles locked and loaded. ‘Using the arena is absolutely critical. All the characters doing things will give you big cues – Hades will wind up as if he’s going to strike down, and it’s also consistent every time. With a little experience you’ll get the hang of when Hades is about to attack, and be ready to avoid that.’ Not only can you avoid the damage yourself, but shoving opponents into the line of fire can be a great tactic.

Updated: Not true infinite, small AP meter bug - Nathan Drake potential infinite discovered in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale

Posted by DreamKing23 — November 25, 2012 at 10:45 a.m. PST

Updated: It is being reported that the Nathan Drake gun shot infinite is not a true infinite, but rather, a glitch with the AP meter at the bottom of the screen. Dragoomba sent in a new video showing that the loop is still practical in combos and he shows a successful loop from a hit confirm on an airborne opponent.

With the recent release of Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, it seems players have already begun discovering infinites in SuperBot's Playstation brawler. Dragoomba uploaded a video showing off a possible infinite using Nathan Drake.

This infinite requires a cornered Nathan and is quite situational. Dragoomba shows a few clips in this video, one of which showing the Infinite Prevention System kicking in and the latter showing the infinite in full effect.

Gravity Rush's Kat in Playstation All-Stars can 'move around the screen like nobody else' - currently not working as intended, slighlty broken

Posted by DreamKing23 — November 24, 2012 at 12:20 p.m. PST

Push Square recently conducted an interview with Sony Santa Monica's Seth Killian to discuss some of the upcoming Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale DLC. According to Killian, Kat from Gravity Rush will retain some very unique movement capabilities and at her current stage of development, is not quite working as intended.

You can check out a bit from Push Square's article below.

“As for Kat, well, she’s kind of broken right now,” the lead game designer told us. “Again, these [DLC] characters are very early. They’re just sort of mock-ups that still look like other characters. They’ve got bits of other protagonists still stuck on them that we have to rework in order to get them properly finished.”

Assuming the design doesn’t change prior to release, Killian added that the character will feature lots of crazy movement options, and the ability to adapt physics. “Obviously, she’s immune from gravity, and she’ll have the opportunity to exploit that in battle," he said. "She’s got a lot of great combos already actually.”

Seth also added that at this point in time there are no announcements on the Crash Bandicoot front.
