Noticed Jill Valentine & Kitana at Sony's booth.

Another third party character I hope they manage to get.


Maximo
It makes sense as he's only appeared on the PS2. His level three super could be his Death transformation from Army of Zin.

Ninja Raiden needs to get his due. Ive always liked him even back in MGS2. I would rather Superbot use Raiden than Snake. Leave Old Man Snake in his resting home.

Raiden's play style would be unique, I get the feeling Snake would be too similar to Radec and Nate and we have enough long range shooter characters.

Snake can be DLC or something. Like he said, Raiden needs his time and he's a much better fighter than Snake, especially with his weird ass moves.

raiden doesn't seem iconic enough. snake really resonates with the PS brand.

Still can't decide which snake would be better. Im leaning towards Old Snake, since he's got the most unique assortment of tools compared to his other incarnations.
octocamo, rail gun, metal gear mk2, stun knife and classic stuff like cardboard box and cqc.
lv1 super: gekko stomp
lv2 super: raiden assist
lv3 super: hoping into MG REX

would also draw less comparisions to smash bros snake.

Parappa lvl 3 Super was epic xD I am so glad they did that, definitely going to be my main character.

I understand that throwing opponents diminishes AP meter. Good to know that each character has at least one manoeuvre that takes away AP in addition to certain weapons.

From the E3 trailer.

Nice nice, thank you for that :) Ok ok, so I'll stop whining about Drake's playstyle and wait to try him out (along with the other characters too..) at the PS tour but one thing I won't get over -

Drake looks bland.

0jg2g.jpg


I understand there's not much to his design, he's supposed to be an "everyman" or whatever, but I just feel like his hair and face look really bland. This is coming from a huge Uncharted fan btw. I just want them to give more detail to him? I know, I know it's negligible in gameplay but I can see it and it becomes really obvious at the score screen when he makes that weird ass face.

I know I haven't seen it with my own eyes and everything will be polished up more (presumably) before launch, another major gripe I had was some of the icons as you're playing look weird, like Kratos' head/face.

Final edit: I just feel like Drake's face is off. I can't explain why, it just doesn't look right. Am I crazy?

That's irrelevant. Game isn't a popularity contest and even if it was Raiden appeared in MGS2 which is the biggest selling in the franchise. Sure Snake would have some unique attacks but someone like Raiden really stands out with his sword based attacks and lightening, a type of character Sony doesn't have.

I do see Snake winning out though but if Raiden can't make it in I really hope Ryu Hayabusa does even though his mostly associated with Xbox.
 
Im curious are the characters that have been shown completely finished in their design and move list?

This is what I'm very, very curious about. Some characters seem very well thought out while others seem like they need some fine tuning. The same goes for their overall design, some look awesome while others look like they need to be more iconic, that they need to pop more.

If they add dart from legend of dragoon, I will promise to buy 3 copies at launch. Seriously! Even though I do not care about this game and i feel it is unoriginal, I will ignore all of that if they add a legend of dragoon character in this game.

When I think PlayStation 1 I think FF7, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot.
When I think PlayStation 2 I think God of War, Jak & Daxter, Ico/Sotc, Silent Hill 2, Devil May Cry, Ratchet & Clank.
When I think PlayStation 3 I think Killzone 2, Uncharted, MGS4, Assassins Creed, Demon's Souls, LittleBigPlanet.

Looks awesome... I want Parapper the rapper PSOne release ASAP
Ive been asking for Parappa digital release for 3 years, I don't think it's gonna happen due to music licences.

I would buy 3 copies for Jennifer Tate and Spike/Spector :p

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
I just remembered my extreme fondness for Intelligent Qube.
Could work great as a level, watching the giant rows of blocks slowly stomp their way toward you from the background.

Such an unexpectedly grandiose soundtrack, too (especially for a puzzle game).

I wish they had gone with Drake's desert outfit. One of the very few complaints I actually have for this game. At least we won't have to wait too long for new reveals. It'll probably be viral too, not just at evo. Let's go for 4 this time damnit.

I hope they have different costumes instead of just different colors, especially for characters like Drake, Ratchet, and Jak who seem to look different in every game.

Speculation time: Say there are a possibility that atleast 1 character from each major publisher will make an appearance, who will make the cut??

Ubisoft: Ezio
Square: Cloud
Capcom: Dante/Ryu
Namco: Jin
Ea: Isaac
Activision: Crash
Valve: P-Body and Atlas
Warner Bros: Scorpion
Konami: Snake

Capcom's spot is so hard to narrow down to 1 char. If its not Dante, its Ryu, if not, its Chris, if not, its Megaman, if its not, then is Joe and so on

Both Snake and Raiden should be in from Konami as MGS screams Playstation imo and Konami showed great loyality with MGS4 and it will be very disappointing not to have MGS representation in this game.

Capcom please be Dante.

Square will be Cloud for sure but I would prefer Sephiroth.

I hope they have a 2v2 mode where the characters the bigger. It would be awesome to announce that plus arcade stick support at EVO for the fighting game community.

I feel like with Ubisoft, it's not a matter of if an Assassin's Creed character will get in, but which assassin will be chosen. Between Ubisoft's openness for putting their characters, especially assassins, in other things - see FFXIII-2, TF2, MGS4, and SCV - and the way the AC series is often given a stronger push on the PS3, I'd honestly be a little surprised if an assassin doesn't get in.

Which one, though?

Altair:

+ The first assassin, arguably the more classic design.
- The first game is pretty much universally agreed to be the weakest.

Ezio:

+ The most popular, since he's been in the most games and the best games thus far.
+ Has had three games to build up a potential move list.
- Has been in so much since he premiered in 2009. People might be a little bit tired of him.

Connor:

+ Will be the most recent main character when All-Stars releases.
- His tools and fighting style seem to be different from the more iconic stuff in the series. No sword, no dual hidden blade; instead, the tomahawk, bow, and gun.
- Depending on when they finalized the character selection, and how open Ubisoft wanted to be about the development of AC3, they may not have even known about Connor early enough to get him in.


I'd say Ezio and Connor have about an equal chance, depending on the circumstances. I'm kinda hoping for Connor, personally.

PaRappas level 3 is so cool

for anyone who hasn't seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZDY2rIPEc8#t=2m16s

Ha, so good!

The potential for dlc in this game is huge. Not just characters, I'm definitely expecting costume packs.
