the franchises that are typically associated with the platforms sure have produced unmemorable characters :/ Sad but true. On the bright side, it'll be nice to play Smash Brothers with a different cast of characters. Except for maybe Snake... wonder if he'll be in there or not. (doubt it)  |

Some of the choices for franchises seem really odd.
Buzz, for example? I know there have been quite a few of these titles, but I seriously doubt people buy them because they like the goofy blonde host.
Patapon also seems a mite odd in that aren't the "characters" a generic tribe? I didn't think there were any real any real characters as such outside of the tribe of little dudes. I dunno it just seems an odd choice, IMHO.
Fat Princess? This....I'm sorry to fans of this game, as while I have heard of it (And I THINK it got a PSP release?) it just seems...a little bit of a desperate choice, like they really didn't have enough marquee characters. Even then, wasn't the titled princess(es) just two generic princesses? I don't believe there was much to them save "get fat or skinny and save/kidnap!"
Overall....I suppose I just never really think of the Playstation as a franchise kind of system, even tho I know it has tons.

There's no friend codes involved, so that makes me interested enough to buy this. Doubt it can match up to brawl, but seriously, fuuuuuck Nintendo's online. Also, calling this for final boss. |

Never thought I'd be seeing Parappa getting shot by some Killzone dude.
Nor some God of War/Patapon mashup on one of the levels.

I can't say that I'm terribly excited for this, but it looks fun and appropriately goofy. I like the mashup idea for the levels, seeing Hades get attacked by Patapons was pretty funny. And hey, if it lets me punch out Kratos as Nathan Drake, that'd be swell.
Also, though not as memorably as Nintendo's franchise, Sony's franchises are pretty clear and present in my brain. Although having a random Helghast as your representative of the Killzone series doesn't speak very well of the story for that franchise, I guess.

Fat Princess VS Killzone, just what I've always wanted.

If I'm not mistaken there's already a thread about this game which was opened months ago when the game was first announced.
Not interested about this game but I'm curious to see the full casting. It would be neat idea to see characters from "forgotten" but beloved francises like Tomba, Syphon Filter, Legend of Dragoon, Vib Ribbon and so on but I doubt if Sony cares about the fanbase of the old, good Playstation One.

Where`s Alundra, Tomba, Vib Ribbon, Arc(Arc the Lad), Pietro(PoPoLoCrois) and Lammy(UmJammer Lammy)? Where the hell is Toro(Mainichi Issho)? What about the mecha from Omega Boost? Surely they are a better fit for this game than most of what we`ve been shown? Also, having a Western developer make a game like this is an extremely bad choice, though not entirely unpredictable, what with Sony almost completely abandoning JP development and SCEJ being a parody of itself these days.

I think that the answer to that question is pretty obvious:
It's made by a Western team, and I highly doubt they'd put more Japanese IPs besides Parappa and Patapon.

Sony used ot have a mascot really early on. I think his name was Polygon Man. He never got a game, was only featured in commercials, and was discontinued pretty early on. If anyone remembers him, he would make a cool "main character" for this game, kind of like how most fighting games have a sort of main character (Ryu, Terry Bogard, and Lui Kang are good examples).

I think the issue is that most of the classic Sony characters are either 1) no longer Sony characters or 2) not especially popular. The character I associate most with Sony now is Kratos. And he's awful.
