Beta64 - PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale / Title Fight [NEVER BEFORE SEEN PROTOTYPE] 

So, if Sony ever made a sequel to PSASBR, who would you want to see in the game?? And hey, if you want to watch more Beta64, you can check out my new-ish video on Super Mario Galaxy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Oc60ZRfSIiA.html

I've told this numerous times that the biggest reason this game failed is because of Sony. No budget, not willing to help them with fan requested IPs and the fact that they dropped the studio *they formed* definitely shows how little of a shit they actually gave about the game

You know what the worst part is? It's not like Superbot Entertainment DIDN'T try to bring in highly requested characters, but couldn't due to agreement and licensing issues. - Snake was excluded because Hideo Kojima was concerned people would be confused about Snake being in 2 different brawlers. We got Raiden instead. - Lara Croft was excluded because Crystal Dynamics wanted to wait until the release of the Tomb Raider reboot to see what would happen. - Wander from Shadow of the Colossus was excluded because Team ICO didn't like the idea of Wander being in a crossover fighting game. - The original Dante was excluded because Capcom wanted to promote DmC: Devil May Cry. We got DmC Dante instead. - Crash and Spyro were excluded because Activision asked for too much money in return (As expected from such a greedy company). Superbot openly acknowledged the large demand for these characters, and it's sad knowing of how hard they tried. But why were Big Daddy and Isaac Clarke included? I have no idea. Anyone knows?

Am I the only one who thinks the Title Fight prototype intro screen actually looks BETTER than the final incredibly static title screen we got? the final game's menus and UI were so...lifeless.

It’s a shame that Sony half assed this game

I really appreciate the fact that you got through the entire half-hour PSABR video without even once mentioning Super Smash Bros.

Honestly, Title Fight is kind of witty and somehow less generic than the final title.

So so much new content has come to light here, it brings a tear to my eye. And yet, that Gravity Rush/Journey stage still eludes us. The music for that must have been sick...

I'm surprised he still hasn't dug into the beta of any of the Spyro games.

My friend used to have this on his Vita and told me that brawl ripped off the special moves because one of them looked like Snake's

18:52 Who is the main antagonist in Twisted Metal: Black? Lower left corner "Jesus" ...WHAT!?

Man, I always thought of this game as "the Sony Smash Bros" , the "Poor Man's Smash" . But after hearing that the developers actually put a lot of effort in this game, while Sony didn't care, it gives me a lot more appreciation for it. Hearing some of the ideas for it, it sounded really cool, and it could have been one of the few Smash clones to actually be good. If Sony had tried to make more negotiations with other IPs, and helped fund the game, this could have been awesome! Sadly, it couldn't have come to be... a sequel would've been cool, too.

I'm kinda surprised there is no references to Smash Bros at all in the video... It's pretty sad what happened to the devs of the game, but nice video Andrew!

The gravity rush stage still makes me cry to this day.

If they ever do a sequel, it'd be hilarious seeing characters like Crash and Spyro beating the crap out of Sweet tooth or Kratos

My heart truly goes out to everyone at SuperBot that help make this game, especially after release when they were working on DLC and trying to make the game better. I was one of those folks who originally didn't like it much, even after playing it on both PS3 and PSvita (thanks to both of my brothers for letting me play it on both systems, by the way). But over the years, it really grew on me so much so that after I decided to buy myself a PSvita Slim in 2019, this was one of the games that I wanted to get for it and to my surprise, I can see why this game still has a fanbase and why many others, myself included, would love to see a sequel someday. This game, just like the PSvita itself (now thinking about it), didn't deserve the treatment that Sony gave it, which was pretty much "let's make something cool that has a lot of potential, but if it doesn't do well...like at all, let's not do anything to help the product sell well, just drop it, and completely move on from said product without thinking twice." I'm hoping this game gets a true sequel someday because there's just a lot of potential sitting here and this is coming from a Nintendo fan that prefers Smash over PS All-Stars (although I'm a PlayStation fan, as well.)

“And There’s Our Pal Buzz Again.” 28:12

I feel like if enough people start clambering and begging for a new game we might get it

Nobody: Not a single soul: Beta64: *Chonk Parappa*

I really really want a PABR2

Really like this new style. Seeing you at your desk and the editing is just 👌

I need a second All Stars game man. Just imagine Capcom making this and turning it into a MvC clone. Can you imagine how OP Sly Cooper would be with those kind of fucking combos?

1:15 I can't believe you'd disrespect the *_Kirby series_* with this image edit

Buzz here, Buzz there, BUZZ EVERYWH- Wait what? What did you say? He was removed as a NPC? *NOOOO*

12:32 out of every possible song i did NOT expect to hear stress used as the title music. actually audibly laughed. devs had good taste

Buzz needs to be the final boss to PlayStation all stars 2

You know, I wonder how Kulche would've played like, since LocoRoco is about tilting the whole planet to move your guy (Also, someone at the team must've really liked Buzz)

The most recent game PaRappa has been in is PS All-Stars. I hope we get PaRappa 3 or Lammy 2.

We could have gotten a Sony Smash Bros series which would have been amazing if it received the talent, time, and support that Nintendo gave to Smash Bros. The fact Playstation All Stars and its studio met such a sad fate is one of the biggest tragedies in gaming history.

22:24 Aight bro. I'mma head out

I’m an alternative universe, the psabr series is strong going on game 5 on the ps5, and the one shot Nintendo crossover game on the Wii named “super smash brothers” has faded into obscurity with a semi spin off about link collecting Dr Pepper

Huh 100 PlayStation characters jump down from a plane in this game. I had no idea!

My friends and I just all wanted another Smash Bros type game, we were pretty excited for this one. Then it came out and once we realized NOTHING MATTERS but who can hit with a super, and that it was really all about picking the characters with the most OP supers and just slurping up orbs, that the combat was meaningless, we all lost interest.

Ive never seen this intro before but it cracks me up. The super soft "Hey hows it going" is just great.

Thank you for covering dreamscape first, i really apreciate that as a LittleBigPlanet fan

We need a sequel

I’m sure if this game was developed more recently (around 2015-17) it would’ve probably gotten so much more support from Sony. But sadly we are left with a game that I can describe as ‘Lost Potential’. Who knows? Maybe Sony might try something like this again in the next 4-5 years.

As a MediEvil fan, Sir Dan's eye being in the wrong socket makes me extremely uncomfortable

How come when i randomly start looking up things about this game's cut content a week later this is uploaded?

justice was in title fight? i’m mildy impressed, and also mildy confused

Man I *really* hope that rumor for a sequel comes true. A powerstone arena fighter sounds amazing.

I love the Locoroco music whenever Buzz appears on the screen, nice touch.

I came for my boi parappa

So that’s why crash wasn’t in the game.

Watching this after the rumors came out for a sequel

I actually really appreciate your wall of sources.

Funny how Capcom refused to make a new Rival's school game, it was right after Darkstalkers resurrection dropped and they were bitching about the poor sales despite being a not so well known game in the first place. That was when capcom was in their Darkest times, i'm glad they got out of it

This has to be one of your best videos yet. So well written and everything is presented clearly and with plenty of explanation. Incredible job! 👏

I really hope this series gets revisited in some way shape or form. The original felt like it was having an identity crisis and was meh. But, I still enjoyed my time playing it with friends and it opens my eyes a bit to hear that they did try to get a more varied roster

"Playstation All Stars" it self should be a party games franchise with different play styles. For exemple the "Battle Royale" game (that now a days should be renamed as "Playstation All Stars Arena" insted), with diferent brawl modes such as the classic Smash Bros like mode; the special finishing KO moves type mode like the first game; a capture the flag mode with long sided maps; and a totem defense mode, in wich has a atacking team and a defending team, it is a 3 rounds best and has 5 totens that spawns randomly one at a time, the atacking team has a time limit to destroy the 5 totens and the defending team can't let it happen; and at last a plataformer challenges mode like the old smash bros bonus levels, all of this with a level editor for each mode with presets, and comunity share for the levels just like little big planet but much simpler. This would compete with smash bros equally along with a good rooster. The other games would be "Playstation All Stars Rumble" a arcade fighting game like street fighter but not a brawl type one, "Playstation All Stars Rush" a kart racing game with track editor just like mod nations did, and "Playstation All Stars Fest" the name itself says it's a minigames party game, it'd be cool if it followed the crash bash mixed with mario party and fusion frenzy mini games styles.

"Now before we start comparing aaall of this, there's one thing that is gonna be showing up every single time, and that's -the debug menu- " *BUZZ*

Am I the only person who mained Parappa because of his special? Literally, I love that thing. *I gotta believe!*

The prototype reminds of another Sony game called Crash Commando that was released on PSN in 2008.

I think a sequel could be HUGE for Sony. Considering how obsessed Smash fans are, Sony could grab this fan base and get them to move to Sony. It’s be smart but Sony would never do it

You know I’m interested in the beta of the mario and sonic at the Olympic Games series

Every time I heard your intro I would smile, because Earthbound is awesome. I’ll miss that feeling now :(

Spike looks cursed with or without a nose, damn

I feel like now they could do it again. They've had a lot more franchises and characters since PSASBR came out and if Sony is willing to actually give a shit it could be really good.

If we do see a potential remake of this game in the future, I could definitely see classic characters like Spyro, Crash, Gex, Lara Croft or modern IPs from Sony.

Glad the mystery of that Dog character was solved. Though you did miss one thing when you covered what happened with Superbot after their Sony departure, they did release one more game: A educational mobile game called “Cuddlefish Friends”. I’m not joking. Seriously, look it up.

12:34 Justice? I like the prototype a lot more now.

Nice Mario 3 minigame decoration in the background right there

This episode is amazing, definitely the best of yours so far. I love the formatting, editing, everything! You’ve really outdone yourself, this is kwality kahntent.

I have a feeling that had the game-changers mechanic stayed, Buzz on the Stowaways stage was actually meant to be one of those big, hulking steampunk cyborg guys from Bioshock infinite due to Buzz being bigger than normal, and one of those guys briefly appearing in the final stage, only to lower a platform, possibly a leftover asset from when game-changers phase of the game, and was simply reused after it was scrapped.. That was probably kind of obvious that that's what that was supposed to be, but he didn't really mention it, so i thought i would, just in case someone watching might not have thought about that.

The game is super underrated though

It's here it's here it's finalily here!

It's a lot that went wrong with PSASBR, Sony not showing them real support, bad timing, the critics gave it mediocre reviews, some of the characters people wanted to see where not in the game, despite all of that the game still sold pretty good. may hat is off to you Superbot you did your best. PS great video Beta64!

I was waiting for this so long and you finally did it I love this channel also I love your LittleBigPlanet Beta64

You know something's wrong when the prototype build is better than the final game

Fastest click I've done yet.

I'm actually curious, what characters did Superbot originally intend to have for the roster besides crash, spyro, and others mentioned in this video?

It feels very representative of how out of touch some game companies are that Naughty Dog said "No, we're busy making another green and brown 3rd person story based shooter game" in response to a proposition to develop the PlayStation equivalent of Smash Bros. That's pathetic.

Looking back at it I think the Trials levels were probably the game’s idea of something like a Break the Targets, you probably had to collect the cakes within a certain time within selected stages, notice how the “Trails” levels were in stages that didn’t have frantic transitions that completely changed the maps. Kinda wish it was in the full game, it would’ve been neat.

i still play the single player on my vita ❤ this game hoping on day we get sequel

omg the live action segments are so easy on the eyes especially the lighting its great

There would have been a lot of promise in this as a franchise, if only Sony had had the courage to put more resources into it.

Cheese nips truly a sign of a man of culture

Great video man! What an awesome rebound from the harsh criticism from the last one. Awesome work.

As if the rest wasn't sad enough, Journey and Gravity Rush are two of my favorite games and that mash-up stage was glorious. It's a damn shame Sony didn't care about this game or its developers.

I've seen a little bit of the Title Fight footage on another channel and thought it was interesting thank you for making this video its awesome!

I kinda want a story mode for this But my favorite thing about this game is the secret rival character interactions

I downloaded psas a few months ago, i know im late to play, but seeing this, changes everything

Wow video got depressing at the end

Guys this might be far fetched. But I think parappa is hitting the woah

I do not know why I but I have watched this video 3 times in 3 days

If Sony and Nintendo ever get buddy buddy, there should be a Super Smash All Stars, a straight SSB clone with the blessings of Nintendo. It should feature the same 3rd party characters smash has (among other presumably) with the same movesets, as a fun way to link the games.

I’m impressed that he said so much about the development history of this game without mentioning the fact that it must have been HEAVILY inspired by smash bros

the fact that they put a Justice song as title music is just awesome, they got some good taste in music

This question is for the die hard fighting game fans, what was the biggest reason why people didn't like this game? apart from balancing issues that could potentially be fixed provided of course if people kept playing/buying the game?

I immediately thought of the band when you said Title Fight

A Rumor i heard 2 or 3 months ago that they may be making all stars 2.

I really hope Sony makes a sequel and actually gives a shit this time.

PaRappa the Beta looks like a little scary dog monster thing;Glad they fixed that, best plastic surgery ever.

Makes sense for Blasto to be a placeholder. Sony would never allow the character to see the light of day out of respect for the late Phil Hartman.

Wow I haven’t watched beta64 in a while you have changed so much

I started watching this with a ton of memories with my friends and I playing it online, and this video ended up tearing my heart out reminding me how sad this game's demise ended up. This concept really does deserve much more than what it is remembered, than just an inferior Super Smash Bros. rip-off, because despite the concept being there, this painfully showed that Superbot really did try their best with what they were able to get at the time. Thanks Superbot, this game really was something special. And I hope one day they do give it the full justice it deserves.

I really wanted to like this game. A playstation smash bros? sign me up, specially since at the time there weren't that many good smash clones. but man was the fighting pretty dull. Just the core mechanic of how you get kills did not feel satisfying. would've been easily resolved by just adding health bars, but you can't at all. They were trying to be so different from Smash Bros they forgot that the game also needs to be fun.

I think this style of video works well for you, it keeps things mostly informative with little clever jokes scattered throughout.

To be honest I actually really love PlayStation Allstars Battle Royale, so this is a big treat!!!!

I like how the auto subtitles thought that you said “hey, here’s a gun” at the beginning. Yeet
