A decent bit of information about Sony's upcoming crossover brawler Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale got released in anticipation for its mid-November release.
The first is the opening cinematic.
Pretty neat, huh? If you're too lazy to watch, it shows the cast of Playstation All-Stars duking it out, showing the ten "rivalries" in the game. As a fun note, the entire battle also takes place on the Playstation's Xross Media Bar, or XMB, the layout for the Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable. It looks like LiveArea's bubbly appearance didn't get love this time around. If you were wondering what the ten rivalries were...
A small bit of info about the single player aspect of the game was also revealed, with Sony Santa Monica head Seth Killian toting "Hundreds of hours of content" on the single player side of things. Aside from the arcade mode, Killian noted challenges and trials as well as tons of unlockables, such as titles, taunts, character-specific intros and endings, music, badges, and more.
For the final piece, PASBR will also have DLC. This includes characters and stages. However, that's the only info we got there. So if you were upset about your favorite Playstation character not making the cut, perhaps you'll see him here?
