While we still seem to be waiting for Kevin Butler to be announced as a Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale character (Which to be fair…. he should be merited with the title of VP of Brawling), at this years E3 Expo several announcements were made by Sony Computer Entertainment in regards to this game. First of, the game will be released not only on the Playstation 3 as once thought but also on the Playstation Vita – will cross play support. The second piece of news being that two brand new characters have been announced to appear in the game… Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series and Big Daddy from the Bioshock universe.
Here are a few blurbs on the announcements taken from the Playstation Official Blog:
The pick-up and play nature of PlayStation All-Stars and the portable power of the PS Vita seem to be made for each other, so bringing the two together was a no-brainer. With Cross Play support, owners of the PS3 and PS Vita versions will be able to play against each other seamlessly, via both local and online play. Both versions of the game feature identical gameplay at a blazing-fast 60 frames-per-second, offering the complete PlayStation All-Stars experience. PlayStation All-Stars PS Vita takes advantage of many of the unique Vita features, including “near” functionality and both front touchscreen and rear touchpad support.
Equally exciting of course is the announcement of two new characters: Uncharted’s Nathan Drake and BioShock’s Big Daddy. Nathan Drake is a true PlayStation star known to never miss an opportunity for adventure, making him a perfect addition to our roster. Big Daddy’s introduction may come as a surprise, but we think he’s a character that typifies the celebration that is PlayStation All-Stars. This deep sea giant packs a serious punch when he’s angry, offering a fun play style that’s fresh and exciting.
