PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Confirmed For Vita, Features CrossPlay

It had been rumoured for a while, but Sony have confirmed at their E3 conference that All-Stars Battle Royale is heading to the PlayStation Vita, as well as PS3.

CrossPlay has been confirmed, too, so you’re able to play against players on PS3 with your Vita. Sony demonstrated the multiplayer on their conference floor, showing PS Vita players playing against PS3 players and it all seemed to run very smoothly – there weren’t any hiccups at all, even if it was a little dull to watch.

Cross saves are also offered, so you can resume your game on the go, and you’re able to play multiplayer with a mix of any four PS Vita or PS3 systems

Two new characters have been added to the roster, too: Nathan Drake and the Big Daddy from BioShock, in addition to the current line-up of Sly Cooper, Fat Princess, Radec, PaRappa the Rapper, Sweet Tooth and Kratos.

  1. This game looked ass, too many things was happening on the screen & looks cartoonish

    • I think it’s going to be easier to follow the game if you’re playing it and the visual style is needed to have any hope of blending the characters together, plus it’s running at 60FPS.

  2. Was hoping for a little more from this tonight, even if it was just a new level or a new character fighting.

  3. I would have preferred to hear the gamers instead of the commentary but it looked like fun.

  4. Does it mean I can access my ps+ cloud saves on the Vita?

  5. Did anyone else think this was a little soulless? I mean the recipie for a great game is there, and lots of things were happening on-screen, but none of it seemed very exciting.

    • It’s not an easy type of game to sell on a show like this, I think just one of those games that needs to be played.

      • Couldn’t agree more. I find playing Smash Bros is a heck of a lot more fun than it is watching others play it. I thought PASBR looked really good and can’t wait to give it a try.

  6. Cross functonality has sold me.
