* Well, here comes Nariko from ''VideoGame/HeavenlySword''... a pretty good leak, but not an ATFR-ish announcem--''(SpitTake)'' '''[[VideoGame/MediEvil SIR FREAKING DANIEL FORTESQUE?!?]]''' Sure, he's no [[Franchise/CrashBandicoot Crash]] or [[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon Spyro]], but ''man'', this is awesome! Playstation fans who have been around since TheNineties thank [=SuperBot=] for not forgetting them.

* Sony are looking at licensing third-party characters - Cue people getting giddy over the ''potential'' of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]], [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]], Franchise/CrashBandicoot and Franchise/SpyroTheDragon making appearances in the game.

* The E3 2012 announcement that the game will be seeing a Vita release, and will feature Cross-Play with the PS3 version of the game. This will also feature cloud-saving between the two consoles, letting players pick up where they left off in single player from either the PS3 or Vita.

It took Sony so long to create their own ''SuperSmashBros'' AlternateCompanyEquivalent franchise: ''VideoGame/PlaystationAllStarsBattleRoyale''. Nintendo fans' reaction [[InternetBackdraft wasn't exactly pleasant]]; Sony fans' reaction, [[SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced on the other hand...]]

* In [[http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/03/e3-2012-big-daddy-and-drake-in-playstation-all-stars this article,]] a poll on Sony's Facebook leaked both Nathan Drake and [[Franchise/BioShock Big Daddy]]. Both characters were confirmed during Sony's E3 2012 conference.

* [[Franchise/BioShock Big Daddy]] being the first GuestFighter to be revealed, for one simple reason - [[UnexpectedCharacter No-one saw it coming]]. Suddenly speculation on Third Party characters went from those with ties to Sony, to any iconic character to have ever appeared on a [=PlayStation=] console.

* [[VideoGame/MetalGearRising Raiden]] is in the game. Because everything's better with cyborg ninjas.

* [[VideoGame/{{inFAMOUS}} Cole McGrath]], [[{{Uncharted}} Nathan Drake]], and a [[Franchise/MetalGear Snake (Unclear if it's Solid, Old or Naked/Big Boss)]] [[http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/05/18/snake-drake-and-cole-confirmed-for-playstation-all-stars-battle-royale have all been leaked]] by Eric Ladin (Cole's V.A.) tweeting that he's been in the studio with DavidHayter & NolanNorth.
** Sony [[ShrugOfGod refuses to comment]] on that tweet... which, as one of the voice actors for ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' said in a similar occasion, "actually ''is'' kind of a dead giveaway". In other words, [[StreisandEffect Sony basically confirmed the rumor.]]

* [[http://mp1st.com/2012/08/27/ps-all-star-activision-hints-crash-bandicoot/ This.]] The ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' fandom went ''nuts''. Then again, given what happened with the [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou "Subaseka"]] teaser site... well... time to keep our fingers crossed.
** [[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=486646&page=150 "Omar said they wouldnt make Crash DLC, that he will be free. But for him to say this either means he is all but confirming Crash or is making the press hold on so we use the expectation to tune in to the game (so as not to put off interest for those just waiting for Crash).]] Seems like some arrows are pointing to our beloved, orange bandicoot.

* Sony are looking at licensing third-party characters - Cue people getting giddy over the ''potential'' of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]], [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]], Franchise/CrashBandicoot and SpyroTheDragon making appearances in the game.

* Oh, hey there, [[{{Tekken}} Heihachi]]!
* [[VideoGame/{{inFAMOUS}} Cole McGrath]] and [[Franchise/JakAndDaxter Jak]] ([[HeterosexualLifePartners With Daxter, naturally]]) being revealed at San Diego Comic Con.
* RatchetAndClank have made it onto the field, ladies and Gents! And with him are [[VideoGame/ApeEscape Spike]], and [[LittleBigPlanet the Sackboy!]]

* DLC characters have been released...[[{{Starhawk}} Emmett]]! Sweet! And who els-'''[[GravityRush Kat]]?!?'''. '''YES'''. And they're going to be ''free'' for the first two weeks!!

** Let's not forget the ''MediEvil'' stage, which is mixed with ''Unfinished Swan'' of all things. You better believe Sir Dan's fans were happy.
* After concept art of [[LegendOfDragoon Dart]] was leaked online, the fandom rallied to get him in the game. Sadly, this didn't happen, but the fandom persisted to try and get Sony Santa Monica's attention in a desperate attempt to save the game from being ScrewedByTheNetwork. They were rewarded when Sony Santa Monica announced that they would begin work on a patch to try and fix existing problems and improve character balance. In addition, six costumes are to be released for free- Big Daddy, Dante, Heihachi and Raiden, which were previously only available as a PreOrderBonus, as well as [[DummiedOut Zeus and Isaac's third costumes]]. While the campaign's original aim may not have succeeded, the fandom's spirit got through to SSM despite that.

* So we've got two more characters for DLC. Who could they be? Oh, let's see here.... we've got Zeus. Looks good, even if we'll get a lot of fanboys bitching about how ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' now has two representitives... '''HOLY SHIT, [[Franchise/DeadSpace ISAAC CLARKE?!!!]]'''

* [[{{inFamous}} Cole McGrath]] and [[Franchise/JakAndDaxter Jak]] ([[HeterosexualLifePartners With Daxter, naturally]]) being revealed at San Diego Comic Con.

* Hate the heroic [[{{inFamous}} Cole McGrath]] that's in the game? Relax, his "infamous" persona is in too as a separate character & with different moves.

** What's even cooler is that Isaac, like Big Daddy, is a harbinger of things to come: more fan-requested and completely unexpected characters to come around.

* Isaac Clarke from ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' is arriving as DLC. Suddenly, the sought after third party characters like Solid Snake, Cloud, Crash & Spyro are a very real possibility for DLC.
