UPDATE – The PlayStation blog was also updated with an official character reveal trailer, new images, and more information regarding his playstyle.


GameSpot was recently able to meet up with Omar Kendall and Seth Killian to talk PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, more specifically one of the new characters they’re showing off this weekend at PAX Prime. Raiden, who was previously mentioned in leaked reports of the game’s content but never officially announced, gets the spotlight in this demo as Kendall and Killian run through his strengths and overall gameplay strategy.

    It’s Revengence Raiden eh? I guess Metal Gear didn’t get a true representation.
    I’m going to lol if Snake is in the next Smash Brothers and not this.

        wtf

      I think you mean “representative” not “representation.”

      The only true representative Sony could put for the Metal Gear series is Senile Snake: Old man snake, Can’t eat “solids snake,” I don’t wear boxes; “I wear adult diapers snake,” I’m a member of AARP Snake–since that game was the most recent Sony exclusive.

      And if that’s what you really want, then more power to you. personally I’d rather have a cyborg ninja, but if you’d rather use “Senior Snake” go play MGS:4

      Why on earth would you want Raiden from MGS2?

      Would one of his powers be that he’d manage to avoid drowning if he falls into any water hazards?

      • http://twitter.com/NeroRevolver Ryan Harris

         I would of preferred MGS4 break dancing Raiden.

      • John Davidson III

         Because Raiden from MGS2 is much cooler than Raiden from MGS4 or Revengeance.

        • http://twitter.com/GrapeATL Grape 포도 약탈품

          Mgs2 Raiden is just Snake with long grey hair, sorry bro.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Joel-Anderson/100000149761999 Joel Anderson

           Special moves would consist of him getting naked and doing aerial cartwheels. Sorry, no: weaksauce. Rather have teh cyborg ninja.

    sony attempt to cheaply cash in on the regained popularity of fighters. 

    • http://twitter.com/Zephyrus21 Gonçalo Pacheco

      atleast playstation fans are getting something they asked for. Where’s that Killer Instinct 3?

      • http://www.facebook.com/mike.delriver Mike Del River

        Is that so?  then why raiden’s level 3 feel like “we don’t care for your requests and we shit on them because cheap propaganda for 2013 multi-platform games is more important”. Sony is really killing this game with these reveals, just wait for lightning’s reveal to further my point, the only way to redeem themselves would be to include crash, oh boy, if he’s not in the game, it’s going to flop very hard and don’t mention metal gear’s story with playstation because Omar said like 3 times “metal gear rising”.

        • http://twitter.com/Zephyrus21 Gonçalo Pacheco

          lightning is NOT in the game. The FF character was leaked. It’s Cloud.

          You want Crash? Ask activision. Superbot is getting what the developers want to give them. 

          If Konami doesn’t want to give Snake, then it’s not Sony’s fault. It’s Konami’s.

          Atleast you’re getting a representative from Tekken, Devil May Cry and the Metal Gear Series. The ONLY odd choice is Big Daddy.

          • http://www.facebook.com/mike.delriver Mike Del River

            source about Cloud would be welcomed, because I’m sadly pretty sure it’s lightning to promote XIII-3.

         I think Microsoft has the rights to Killer Instinct now. Rare dropped it.

        • http://twitter.com/Zephyrus21 Gonçalo Pacheco

          uh… next thing you’ll tell me is that the sky is blue?

          Get out and take your crazy talk with you.

      too bad MS isnt smart enough to do the same thing with KI 3

    A part of wishes this copied Smash to a tee now. Simply because this is the closest we’ll get to having Raiden in Smash.

  • http://twitter.com/Mrscrubble M. Scrubble

    wow, at first I thought this stage was from Uncharted; it took like ten minutes for me to realize that the giant bird thing was from a different game (bioshock). I feel so out of the loop with sony games.

    • http://twitter.com/Zephyrus21 Gonçalo Pacheco

      it’s a mix between uncharted and bioshock. Every stage is like that. They mix two IP’s

  • Kevin Wark

    I was expecting the Raiden from MK, not this pansy ninja.
    So disappointing.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_NENYSPUQQ6WX4NP3GNGPE3YB7Y gene p

      Metal Gear Raiden would chop up MK Raiden and besides MK is overrated anyway.  If you really want christopher lambert in a video game it should be a Highlander.

      • Awsumpossum12345

        Im going to have to respectfully disagree. MK Raiden would toast MG Raiden

        • http://twitter.com/LordKurow Kurow Akutenshi

           KOF Raiden>>>>Both of them

             Well, yeah.  He’s a big bear.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_IMW4FEU4ORLNXO7RPHLGXYUDUA Luke Taylor

      why do you want ANOTHER electric user in thee game
      nintendo fanboys would just blast at this for being unoriginal
      if anything liu kang scorpion or subzero would be a good addition to this

  • Simply Chun-believeable ^_~ ♥♥

    So you mean to tell me that if you are able to fall off of that stage, you won’t die?

  • http://twitter.com/Swagtagonist Greg S

    This game just looks too clunky for me. “Looks.” I haven’t played so I don’t know for sure

  • joey_b_bomb

    This has to be one of the saddest and most uninspired looking fighting games I’ve ever seen.
    With this diverse cast of characters and all these great licenses behind it, it had such huge potential.
    To me it just looks bland and lifeless. They even managed to make the stages look boring and a bit ugly, too, despite the awesome idea of these background-license-clashes.
    Maybe my opinion will change once I play it (/if), but for now I can’t shake the feeling Sony maybe should have gone with another developer.

    • d3v

      In other words, they shouldn’t have gone with a developer with fighting game players like Ed Ma and MAJ as game designers (overseen by Seth himself at Sony Santa Monica)?

      • joey_b_bomb

        No, don’t get me wrong. Having these experienced players on board is a major plus.
        It’s more an issue with the design department.
        Since I haven’t played it myself, all I can judge is the design choices they’ve made.

      • ForteWily

        Maybe, hard to say at this point. Nothing really against the guys on the team, but I would be somewhat more comfortable if this game had experienced Smash players on board and directing the game’s development.

        There are some questions that I have with the game design that seem to come from a lack of knowledge of how Smash works, or differences for differences sake.

        But it is, what it is…I’ll have to see what happens with the final product.

    • Awsumpossum12345

      Liked because I think the stages are pretty ugly as well.

      This new stage is probably the best looking mashup so far.

  • http://www.facebook.com/Dark.Reaper.and.Galactimus.Zero Marvin Choi

    why is it so hard for me to care about this game? I genuinely want to understand why.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Nathanial-P-Connor/1557216555 Nathanial P Connor

      Smash/Brawl gameplay was never your thing maybe?  It was never really mine…except powerstone, fucking loved that game.

      • http://www.facebook.com/Dark.Reaper.and.Galactimus.Zero Marvin Choi

        But I love Smash Bros.

        I think part of it has to do with how dull the method of winning is.

        • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_IMW4FEU4ORLNXO7RPHLGXYUDUA Luke Taylor

          as much as you dont want to hear it
          you have fanboy in your blood

          • http://www.facebook.com/Dark.Reaper.and.Galactimus.Zero Marvin Choi

            Well, I don’t doubt there’s probably some internal bias. But I don’t think that it.

            Like, I loved Third Strike. Like reeeeeeeeeally loved it. But now I’m not that really into SFIV and I enjoy KOFXIII a lot. So it’s not like I let my biases dictate what I like or not.

            I dunno. I think maybe PS All-Stars just feels too straightforward. Hithithithit, activate super, rinse repeat. There’s no real finesse to it, as far as I can tell.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Yan-Zhao/10516382 Yan Zhao

      My reasons: I dont care about 95% of the characters.

    • Louis Lam

      Because it’s a bland chemistry of Smash’s simple control scheme and static hitstun/knockback/combo system of traditional fighters without any dynamic elements to back it up.

      • yomachaser

        Well put.

  • toreal

    I thought it was Raiden from Mortal Kombat.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1330807946 Trevor Clarke

    I’m enjoying this, now give me Sackboy preview plz!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Luke-Cheesecake-Moritz/505310338 Luke Cheesecake Moritz

    I….really really want Dart from Legend of Dragoon.  I’m kind of eh about this right now, if they put in Dart, day one buy.

    • http://handsomefatman.com/ Carlos Alexandre

      Dart is Dart.

      I want some LoD representation as well, though I’m okay with a non-Dart choice. Except Shana. Fuck Shana.

      • http://www.facebook.com/spongejordan123 Jordan Bartel

        Lol! I’ve just hacked my friend’s PSP and am playing through LoD again. I bought the game for $1 at a rummage sale, I bought the PSN version, bought the game from Gamestop for $10 about 5 years ago, I bought the game when it was new, I bought it used after my brother lost the original… I fucking LOVE Legend of Dragoon.

        I don’t really want there to be LoD rep though, tbh. I love LoD to the core, but I don’t think they could properly convert the characters, like, who would they bring in? Dart is far too Sol/Ragna-esque. Rose is possible, Albert/Lavitz? Doubtful. Everyone else just doesn’t seem right. Though, Haschel would be cool :P If they do announce LoD anything, I’m gonna just shit my pants, because that’s enough reason for me to believe that a LoD sequel (or prequel, Dragon Campaign could be pretty cool as a game) is possible.

        *edit* That being said, FUCK Shana.

        • http://handsomefatman.com/ Carlos Alexandre

          I’d like Kongol. Especially since you can miss his Dragoon form (getting it in the last dungeon if you do), and his is one of the coolest looking. Kongol + Dragoon Kongol is my pick.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_IMW4FEU4ORLNXO7RPHLGXYUDUA Luke Taylor

      who?
      what console was the game on?
