Disappointed by the lack of first party PS3 titles the past few months? Well, then have we got news for you; next week a new PS3 exclusive will be revealed, and it just may end up being All-Stars Battle Royale.
Geoff Keighley, host of Game Trailers TV confirmed via Twitter that his show would indeed be “unveiling a huge new PS3 exclusive with first game footage.” The reveal will come next Thursday, though following recent events, we wouldn’t be surprised if the game was leaked before the official announcement.
Recent rumors suggest that the game being showcased is All-Stars Battle Royale, Sony’s supposed answer to Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. series, reportedly in development at SuperBot Entertainment. The game is said to include a variety of first party Sony characters battling it out, hence the title.
We believe this new exclusive is the rumored fighter because PlayStation LifeStyle recently uncovered a newly registered domain (http://playstationallstarsbattleroyale.com/) from Sony, currently serving as a placeholder.
Registrant:
Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC

Other possibilities are that this new PS3 exclusive could be one of the two games Guerrilla Games is working on, one being Killzone 4 and the other, a brand new IP, though there are rumors that those might come to the PS4. Sony Santa Monica (God of War series) is also hiring for what could be a third-person shooter, but these are unlikely choices for the reveal.
Some may scoff at All-Stars Battle Royale as just Sony copying Nintendo, but as a PlayStation fan, it’s only fair to remind those that Naughty Dog “copied” Nintendo when they made Crash Team Racing, which some would argue is one of the few kart racers that was able to surpass Mario Kart. As long as the game is good it won’t matter if Sony copied Nintendo.
I still think the name is terrible though.

I really hope it is. This game has really peaked my interest since Super Smash Bros. is one if my favorite Nintendo games. Only I hope they copy more Melee than Brawl. Also I do agree that the name is just terrible. It would be a little more tolerable if the “royal” part was at the front not t
Royale is different than royal. A royale is basically a brawl.
Yeah I didn’t see the e lol
Sony has no “First Party” games. they buy companies that make games exclusively for their systems. it is, at very least, a second party. Nintendo is really the only game company with a system that actually makes their own games. Sega used to be.
SCE Japan Studio, Polyphony Digital, Naughty Dog, SCE Santa Monica Studio ,SCE San Diego Studio, SCE Bend Studio, SCE Foster City Studio, Sucker Punch Productions, SCE London Studio, SCE Cambridge Studio, SCE Studio Liverpool, Evolution Studios, Guerrilla Games, and Media Molecule are all Sony First Party studios. A quick fact check will show you that a little over half of these studios were FOUNDED by Sony and are still run by Sony. All of these companies have put out Triple-A titles that have achieved critical acclaim. So yes, Sony is a game company that makes their own console and games. It does not pay to be a fanboy sir, especially a Nintendo one.
^^ What he said
yes, companies they own. not themselves making the games. they pruchased most of them. I have a PS3 and I do like it. but, there are no actual first party games. most of those companies, I have not really enjoyed their games. Media Molecule is the only one I can think of because I do like me some LBP.
Joe, did you not read what Deric wrote? He said that a little over half of those studios were founded by Sony, not purchased. And he is correct on that.

Whoops sorry messed up double post lol
and Crash team racing was not better than Mario Kart, though it was one of the best crash games. Had to do SOMETHING with a stupid character. I cannot see this game being better than SSB because of the fact that naughty dog’s characters are kinda Lame.
*shrugs*
I’m hoping it is the PS3 Smash Bros game reveal, I’m really looking forward to that game and any character roster announcements. But I agree I do not like All Stars Battle Royale as the name, if anything go back to Title Fight. It makes it sound more like a Smash Bros parody, at least Title Fight made it sound a little original.
I’m interested to see what kind of game it actually ends up playing like. Will it be an exact clone of Smash, or can we expect a fighting game along the lines of a Street Fighter. I’m hoping for some 4-player action, so I’m excited to hear more on the project soon.
P.S. I agree, that name is terrible.
P.P.S. Crash Team Racing never surpassed Mario Kart. EVER.
Looks like we have something else to disagree on
.
We’ll add it to the list.
The game sounds interesting, but the name is awful. I think it should just be called Battle Royale.
I will wager they will put it on Vita and PS3, and rush it out so as to beat Super Smash Brothers Universe to the punch.
