Any fellow SSXers out there?

So how do we feel about this game potentially?

Me? Cautiously optimistic.

I actually liked SSBB - it was fun in a random, spastic sort of way. And I have good memories of playing it with SS and Stylu.

So if ASBR's core game is at least on par with SSBB then I'll be happy. Particularly since a PS3 SSBB would allow me to:

1) Play games with Shiny, Stylu, SS, Oro, Gunny, Fuu, Persona, Gojira, Anti-K etc...
1a) on a viable network (PSN > Wii online)...
1b) with mic support

So yeah - fingers crossed

I liked SSBB too. Too bad my neighbor's wifi was so asscheeks, otherwise I could've played online.

The roster will be intriguing. Wonder what obscure people they'll bring from the dead. Want Master Onion.

If it's just Sony characters I have no idea who I would play, or who would be in it for that matter. How many franchises do they have which would work for this anyway? Anything made by these guys I'm guessing? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCE_Worldwide_Studios

I'm in 'not really that interested, but I'll wait for footage' mode.

I imagine the roster would be something like:

- Nathan Drake
- Jak and Dexter
- Ratchet and Clank
- Sweettooth
- That chick from Heavenly Sword
- Electric guy from Infamous
- Kratos
- Sly Cooper
- That sack boy thing from LBP
- some SSX character
- generic soldier or Chimera from Resistance
- Helgeist from Killzone
- Parappa
- those cat things (black and white) that represent Sony in Japan

First game footage + some interviews. Apparently Fat Princess is a playable character and they've said that third-party characters will make an appearance.

Oh lawd. Lawd halmurcy.

Dibs on Parappa & Sly.

[Gojira]

Sony's a little late to be cashing in on the flying sumo battle genre at this point.

Meanwhile, Anarchy Reigns

Automatic Fail because it's not a Sega game and I can't play as "Hornet."

Transformers + Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing = ????
Hopefully something fun.

SS and I played the original All Stars Racing. It was fun.
