History DarthWiki / PlaystationLegendsBattleRoyale

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to VideoGame/SuperSmashBros, and other MassiveMultiplayerCrossover games such as VideoGame/CartoonNetworkPunchTimeExplosion and VideoGame/{{Multiversus}}, ''[=PlayStation=} Legends Battle Royale'' has much darker artwork and imagery, more FamilyUnfriendlyViolence, includes characters from horror franchises such as VideoGame/SilentHill and VideoGame/DeadSpace, and even features some blood at points.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Referencing the PortingDisaster that was the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 port of VideoGame/TeamFortress2, which failed to receive updates past the Orange Box, the personalities of the mercs reflects this, acting similar to their original selves prior to CharacterizationMarchesOn. Soldier is still eccentric, but nonetheless competent, and only crazy about war rather than the infantile {{Cloudcuckoolander}} he would later develop into. Pyro is TheQuietOne and ironically seems to actually be the most mentally stable of the group, aside from their {{Pyromaniac}} tendencies, whereas Medic is the standard cold-hearted DrJerk he originally was rather than the AxCrazy MadScientist he later became.

* BigBrotherMentor: Classic!Dante becomes this to his younger, immature reboot self. WordOfGod is that his motivation behind this isn't just echoing [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry4 Nero]], but because he sees his younger self in his alternate counterpart, and [[IHatePastMe he's embarrased by it]].

** During development, VideoGame/CrashBandicoot1 was given the nickname "Sonic's Ass Game". Sonic is Crash's synergy assist character, and the cutscene showing them working together has a [[FemaleGaze shot of Sonic's ass]].

** VideoGame/TyTheTasmanianTiger makes a cameo in Crash's reveal trailer as one of the many obstacles he effortlessly spins his way through. In the game proper, he shows up [[MythologyGag in a full-body cast]] in [[VideoGame/SilentHill Alchemilla Hospital]], and a FunnyBackgroundEvent when Crash isn't being played as by any of the players has him show up and point and laugh at Ty.

** The targets found in Smash the Targets training mode, instead of the red bullseye seen in VideoGame/SuperSmashBros, have [[UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} a green X shape]].

** Captain Price, the representative of the VideoGame/CallOfDuty franchise. He may have military training and state-of-the-art realistic firearms on his side, but that's nothing compared to some of the incredibly powerful, reality-bending and even bizarre characters in the game. He doesn't have the futuristic tools of Isaac Clarke, the AndroclesLion protection of The Boy, nor is he stupidly lucky like Nathan Drake or the MemeticBadass that is Harry Mason - but he still gets by with quick thinking, courage, and a lot of firepower.

* BrainsAndBrawn: In place of Murray, Sly Cooper employs Nathan Drake to be the Brawn to his Brains. It makes sense to have the six-foot-tall human with heavy experience of combat and gunfights do the heavy lifting in place of the four-foot-tall FunnyAnimal who's more oriented towards stealth.

--> '''Ugly Sonic:''' (grumbles) Hey, can we get [[Advertising/SegataSanshiro Mr. Sanshiro]] on the phone?
** Sackboy's reveal trailer makes one at [[TooBleakStoppedCaring crushingly dark and lightless works]], with blatant [[{{Expy}} stand-ins]] for Creator/AlanMoore and Creator/GarthEnnis talking in CreepyMonotone about destruction and how much [[RatedMForMoney cute things don't sell]] until a visibly annoyed Sackboy [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim just deletes them with his Poppit.]]

* [[ProfessionalKiller Agent 47]] from VideoGame/{{Hitman}}

** Crash found a odd crystal while fighting Cortex, and it pulled them both into another dimension. Coco built a transportation pad to go after them.

* Fat Princess was lured into a portal with the promise of cake.

* [[AnimatedActors Kutaro]] (with [[CatsHaveNineLives Ying Yang]] or [[ThePowerOfTheSun Pikarina]]) from VideoGame/{{Puppeteer}}

** PaRappa got a mysterious backstage visitor at a concert who offered him a chance to help others out and hone his skills.

** Nathan Drake read a "treasure map" he wasn't supposed to.

** The opening chapter to Dante and Dante's arcade mode has the former take a job [[SerialKillerKiller taking out serial killers who have been using demonic powers]]. One of said killers happens to be a [[EvilNerd evil]] [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes otaku with sunglasses, a red jacket and a laser blade]].
** Upon meeting [[CaptainErsatz Mitsuki and Rick]], Chris calls them "pale imitations" behind their back.

** Jak and Daxter's encounter with Evil Cole has Daxter theorize that the latter is a prototype or failed earlier model of the Dark Warrior program. Evil Cole's reponse?

** Tiny Tank's alternate costumes include his Black Bart hat and the sombrero he wears if he gets far enough with it.

** One of Kratos's quotes upon reviving is his usual "[[Catchphrase I shall have my revenge]]", spoken not in his old UnstoppableRage but instead in genuinely chilling TranquilFury.

** One of Gex's winning animations has him don the shades he wore on the cover art of his games and balance on his tail in a similar way to a IdleAnimation in the first game. The corresponding losing animation has him [[VomitIndiscretionShot vomit on the screen]] in a similar way to how he did when he completed a level in the Graveyard world of his first game, albeit without the ExorcistHead.

* AerosolFlamethrower: One of Jak and Daxter's moves has Daxter use the bug-spray from [[VideoGame/Daxter his self-titled game]], which can then be ignited by a ranged attack from any firearm.

* TriggerHappy: Jak, Ratchet, the Dantes, all of the Team Fortress mercs... quite a lot of characters, really.

* The Collector, [[SelfDemonstrating/LarryDaVinci Larry Da Vinci]], Victoria Von Bathysphere, Avalon Centrifuge, Toggle, Swoop, Oddsock and Newton from VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet

* Jak and Daxter give Sly and Nate a ride at one point, and Jak muses "Thank the Precursors there aren't any timed rings here", referencing the numerous hated TimedMission segments from VideoGame/JakII and VideoGame/Jak3.

--> '''Coco:''' It looks better, it has more games, and it's cheaper!

* [[Characters/TekkenKazuyaMishima Kazuya Mishima]], [[Characters/TekkenHeihachiMishima Heihachi Mishima]] and [[MonsterFangirl Jun Kazama]] from Tekken
