Open Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale BETA Available Now


Superbot have released the open Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale Beta for PS Vita, more details inside.......

We're about a month removed from the release of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, but developer SuperBot Entertainment is ready to throw you a bone. Tomorrow, the PlayStation All-Stars beta will begin rolling out to the public via the PlayStation Store, but there are a few wrinkles to it...

October 16th (17th UK) - Playstation Plus can download the All-Stars beta on PlayStation Vita.
October 16th (17th UK) - PlayStation Plus members can download the beta on PS3.
October 23rd (24th UK) - Everyone can download the All-Stars beta on PS3.

What you're doing in the beta is also a bit limited, but SuperBot detailed it on the PlayStation Blog...You’ll be able to play as Kratos, Sweet Tooth, Colonel Radec, Sly Cooper, PaRappa, and Fat Princess.

You’ll be able to play in both the Metropolis and Hades stages.

You’ll be able to try out four-player online tournaments and 2 v 2 online tournaments. For the 2 v 2 games we’ll be supporting friend invites, so you and a friend can fight another team online.

Let us know what you think of free Beta's in the comments below!

I cancelled my preorder for this already, I know its, its own game, but while I was playing it it felt a lot like brawl, I hate brawl, brawl was to slow and the characters were too floaty. I was really hoping it would be closer to melee than brawl.

Dissapointed.

This is another game I'm highly anticipating, I just wish I had friends to play the beta with! I also kinda wish they used dante from DMC4 and not the new one but I'm not complaining :P

Is there a chance that you know when will the beta release in the IL store?
Thanks :>

ReNoo_21 said...

Search "beta" in playstation store and you can download the game, no need to be Plus.

Snake said...

When I read the source it said PS Vita members can download it without plus, but in the EU store it still says PS Plus needed...

KrittyKrat said...

Ryuzaki010 said...

shack180 said...

I downloaded it last nite. You don't Have to be a ps+ member to download it for the vita . But u do have yo be a ps+ member to download it for the ps3 .

Adl said...

I had the same complaint but watch the dante trailer, his moveset is too awesome to care... he's probably going to be an OP badass in this game too.

Ultrapieguy said...

PSASBR, Here I come!!!!!!

Lol said...

IL store? What's that?

tdctdc said...

I was going to purchase this but cancelled after finding out there are only 19 characters (Cole is 1 character, reguardless if the 2 versions have different move sets, it is still the SAME character)

Only 19 characters seems very limited compared to other fighters. This game is already largely a copy of Super Smash Brothers Brawl....why not include 35 characters like that game?

i like pieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

True! I'm downloading it right now on the vita. No need to be a plus member.

i was not sure about this game since it seemed to me it was a smash bros rippoff; but after playing it..., even the limited beta version, i thik its evn better than smash bros!!! its the same concept but, in smash you only had 2 attack butons, in allstars you have 3 attack butons, so thats four extra attack moves more than in smash. i like that you have to EARN your special moves rather than it falling magically from the sky. and you have most your playstation character favorites. add ps3 psvita cross play and cross buy, this game is now a must buy for me 

Matt said...

 You're comparing it to brawl.  Special moves are ok, but the fact that they're required to kill other players is a huge flaw in this game.  It's going to get old fast.  Also, there's no stage outs like in SSB, which was the whole fun of the entire experience. 

Matt said...

Seriously? Back in the day fighting games sported 8 characters and everyone was happy.  Despite they way they have progressed, more characters does NOT mean a better game.  If you have one character in the roster that you like, then what's the problem?

Edwin pena said...

I agree stage outs would have been nice, but I dont necesarily agree with you on the special moves being the only way to kill. I think they did this purposely. The score system is not based on kills, so it wont be like in ssb where someone would avoid the action and be running away all the time, and still win. Allstars obligates everyone to get in the fight.

he sounds like a troll to me

It seems every one got what they wanted, nhilistic is no more, After black ops declassiffied, they're changing they're name and going digital.

MrKoopan said...

how? because his opinion is different than yours

the game is a coo Idea, but none of the characters are "all stars" they went for two version of the same character when they could have had spyro, or crash, or even Kat from gravity rush

Ultrapieguy said...

They will add more characters once the game is actually released, I did not expect them to put all of their all stars into a game at once, and yes Spyro, Crash, and Kat, are not in there... yet... but a lot of these characters are all stars, and appear in multiple games.

MrKoopan said...

I get that they are some all stars, but Sony is pushing this out with nothing, I like all the games that the characters are from (except fat princess and infamous) but seriously, DLC characters are a bit much, and it's going to happen, and I'm going to buy them, I just don't like how this guy was called a troll for having an opinion, that's not trolling, it's being honest

tdctdc said...

I know 20+ years ago when fighters were first out people were fine with that many characters, but that was 20+ years ago and that has changed a bit. I am in no way saying only having 19/20 characters makes a bad game. I do believe having more characters can make a BETTER game though. I mean who does not like having more content, as long as it meets the same quality standard?  This is the whole reason DLC sells, because people want more content for the games they enjoy.  My main point is in my OPINION 19/20 characters is not worth the price of the game in this case, especially considering the large library of Playstation games in history they had to pull from (yes I know some would need permission from other developers to use). In this case they chose 19 game series' to represent all of Playstation out of the hundreds (thousands?) of titles that have been on a Sony system.

Richard Kneller said...

EU player here. This game was in the latest games list. No plus needed. Easy. 

tdctdc said...

Thanks MrKoopan. You are exactly right, it is just my opinion that I was stating and I was in no way trying to troll. If others feel that 19/20 characters is an acceptable amount of content for the game, then I wish them the best and hope they enjoy the game. I was looking forward to the game a lot as well, but the amount of content they are giving is disappointing in my eyes.

tdctdc said...

I know they can add DLC in the future, I am just disappointed in what they are giving for purchasing the game. It seems like the game may have been rushed or content is being held back intentionally for making more profit on DLC, which is not the way DLC should be. It kinda feels like something Capcom would do (however, even though Capcom does on disc DLC sometimes, the standard game usually has way more content than this game seems to have intially). Again this is just my opinion though.

TheOneWhoShantBeNamed said...

Was OK. Graphics are nice and smooth, however i don't feel this is a game that will last long. Like UMVC3, it'll get old quickly i imagine. And unlike that game, it seems more of a button masher than any type of skill being required. I tried a few online games yesterday and i didn't know what my health was or how i was dying, just i assume from constant hits. It was ok for about 5mins, but unfortunately, feel this will get old quickly, it's a shame, as it has potential, however i don't feel the characters do it much justice at all, really.

KrittyKrat said...

Its good to see people respect others opinions, especaily now that every game, company, and console has an opposing side always claiming to be better. Respect your fellow gamers, they're no different then you. Also you should totaly add me >.> (PSN ID is the same as my name)

Thx man!

Maxx said...

The score system for PSASBR is based on kills. You get two points per kill and minus one point per death.

Matt said...

 I think you're a bit mixed up.  It was because ssb had a life system that you were allowed to run away in still win, the time mode did not allow this.  What we see in the beta is a time mode where kills give you points and deaths take them away, pretty much exactly like the time mode in ssb with a few minor differences.  So you're basically saying having more options is bad.
Anyways, after messing with the beta some more I can see that it's alright and I would have fun with it for a while if any of my friends owned PS3 or Vita.  However I can still see the special move system getting old.  Not only that, at the moment it is extremely unbalanced. 

Kennycopedope said...

I think Vita owners should buy this game regardless of if you've been anticipating this or not because quite frankly we are lacking triple A quality titles to validate the purchase of this $250+ handheld. IMO
P.S. add me KennyCopeOnline none of my friends have Vitas
