When I bought Playstation Allstars Battle Royale I was hoping to see all of my favorite characters fight it out in a faster paced brawl game, and although I'm satisfied with characters like Colonel Radec, Cole, Kratos, Big Daddy and others, I can't say I'm satisfied with the overall roster. It feels lazy and doesn't include some of the best characters. Ones I wanted to see were Nathan Hale (Resistance), Crash Bandicoot, Chimera Soldier (Often rumored for inclusion prior to release), Abe (Oddworld), Alex Mercer (Prototype, because who didn't want to see Cole and Mercer throw down), Vincent (Final Fantasy VII), and Chell (Portal, I know it's a stretch, but Bioshock wasn't exclusively playstation, sapparently there's no prerequisite of being exclusive). Who did you want to see?
Crash Bandicoot was the most OBVIOUS and no brainer pick. Why they couldn't get him in, I don't know(more than likely something to do with licensing issues)
But also Tomba and Klonoa. The latter got his roots on the PS1.
They wanted Crash, but sony no longer owns the rights to him and other characters. I would assume they had a budget and could only spend a certain amount for characters not considered sony only.
At the very beginning I first thought Kat from Gravity Rush, being the first big Vita specific character, and that ended up happening. As for other characters who I would like and/or should be in there Crash and Sypro are the first big names, followed by Final Fantasy characters from the PS specific games. Those are the classics who should be there. Of course there are more niche characters who need to be there, and since I'm a RPG guy, i'd say a Persona or Disgaea hero would be most effective for that role. And given that Bioshock could make it, All-stars needs an Assassin, my vote being for Altair, but Ezio would work too. Logic aside, I'd love to see a Tales series character in there.
I would of loved to see some Disgaea characters such as...
Asagi Asagiri, A Prinny, Lord Valvatorez, Mao, Adell Or Overlord Laharl.
Disgaea is a Playstation exclusive?
If okami didn't come out on the goddamn wii Amaterasu could have been there
I dunno, Amaterasu was already in MvC3 so I don't think they'd put her in another fighting game so soon. Also Okamiden was on the DS so there's another strike.
