Such wasted potential

Nice

Final Smashes ruin everything.

Needed Dart to be successful.

My biggest problem with Pokken's roster was that it didn't have more wackier Pokémon in it.
That and Blastoise isn't in the game.Seriously if Charetard is gonna be in this game why can't Blastoise? Why do they keep shoving that flaming faggot down our throats?

They should have stuck with first party characters, even obscure ones, instead of doing shit like Big Daddy, which was a fucking Xbox exclusive for years. If they wanted to do stuff that began on other consoles, then do things that Sony owns from when they made games for SNES before the PS1 came out. Hell, I heard Sony technically owns Q*bert due to some weird acquisitions. But no, we didn't get Robbit, the guy originally intended to be the PS1's mascot. We didn't get Lammy, instead we got Evil Cole. We didn't get stuff from Legend of Dragoon because they wanted to save it for DLC. We didn't get Joel and Ellie as the Ice Climbers even though they knew that game was gonna sell like gangbusters and half the characters in the game were there for promotion anyway. Jak & Daxter should have been separate characters. Ratchet & Clank should have been separate characters. Clank has all sorts of really cool powers and plays separate from Ratchet in every game in the series, plus his own spinoff where he's a spy. Bentley should have been playable with his mech wheelchair.

Crash and Spyro should have been the only third party characters that were even on the table. But even without them they could have had a much better roster. I'm sure I've left out tons of Sony owned games that could have been better represented. Even if they're obscure, that's part of the fun. Nintendo introduced Fire Emblem to the west through Smash Bros.

Also, have a story. Brawl had that whole subspace mode and it was great. But I'm not even asking for that. Just give a more substantial story to the tournament mode at least, like a regular fighting game. Nintendo characters frequently have very little story, they frequently explicitly try not to put a story in their flagship games. Sony games usually did have a story. How much more interesting would it be if it was Calypso organizing this multiversal tournament with his powers? Or if it turned out Specter was brainwashing him all along? There are tons and tons of interesting stories they could have done.

It never really had much potential to begin with yet this is still true.
Remember when Neofag tried to force the "SSB is Outfoxies rip-off" meme?

That would have been extremely boring to be honest.

...

should've gave it to Sakurai if you wanted a good game.

literally who

So is Nep actually in the game?

It was going to be shit from the beginning user.

Brand recognition, art style, and different fucking genres (Kratos for fuck's sake with cartoony characters from Sly Cooper, makes the entire fucking game as a laughingstock crossover from fanfiction.net) and lastly the added bonus of, who the fuck were they appealing in the first place? Smash already has this shit and Sony isn't one to take care of their IPs and goddamn, getting third-party characters didn't save this rancid pile of shit.

no.

Activision wouldn't let up.

Maybe ND should've kept the IP to themselves instead of moving to this "mature games for mature gamers" mindset

Only if HAL Labs is there too.

Legend of dragoon ya pleb.

These kind of games are way past their time, though. Nobody gets together for vidya under one roof.

It wasn't Naughty Dog's choice. Universal Interactive owned the franchise from the moment Crash 1 was released. Since then, Universal Interactive merged with Viviendi to form Viviendi Games, which merged with Activision to form Activision Blizzard, placing Crash into the hands of Activision and its subsidiaries. Even if Naughty Dog wanted to develop another Crash game, and had all the old members that made up Naughty Dog back in the day, they'd be at the mercy of Sony Interactive Entertainment and Activision Publishing.

dead game

Still doesn't explain why we get movies instead of solid platformers from them. As far as I'm concerned, ND died after Jak 3.

This is part of the fun. In fact, a major part of it.

In fact, it ruined it.

It's the best Jak & Daxter game.

I agree. I feel the biggest flaw was having all the dark edgy characters in a happy smash clone with very few if any original ideas in it. But smash basically lives off of nostalgia, and the oldest ps characters in the game was Dante, and they even used faggy donte for it.

But tonal changes, some better mechanics or even just a traditional fighting game would have been better.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

They could have made it 3D and like said, focus on obscure characters since most of the best PlayStation characters tend to be underrated.

Another is how most PS characters tend to have more writing into them, which means they could have created interesting interactions that aren't the shit rivalries.

Imagine Jak and Ratchet being friends or Spike and Kat being friends.

They could also have made an adventure/party game where the characters fight the bad guys and then there's fun minigames and maybe an HUB world where it's an island shaped like a PlayStation controller with parts of it resembling certain franchises.

Thank you, user. My gratitude to you is deeper than any ocean right now. I have been spending the better part of a year trying to remember the name of a game I used to play as a wee baby fucktard. I first saw it in a dream, which reminded me of it. It was so visceral I knew I didn't imagine it, but for the longest time the only thing I had to go off of was remembering "a third-person game with platforming where you play as a red upside-down triangle. Part of one level you have to navigate a bridge that rotates around you, like in the first level of psychonauts, and I always fucking died there."
Blasto is that game. The relief I feel is endless.

sage for off-topic as all hell

you need to be at leas 18 to post on this board faggot

bait

Wrong there, faggo. The only game with more 'wasted potential' than Sony Smash is real Smash. Also, learn some fucking English you preteen.
