1It took Sony so long to create their own ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' AlternateCompanyEquivalent franchise: ''VideoGame/PlaystationAllStarsBattleRoyale''. Nintendo fans' reaction wasn't exactly pleasant; Sony fans' reaction, [[SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced on the other hand...]]

5* A game where Sony characters from the first Playstation up until now come together to duke it out, (vaguely) Smash Bros. style? OH YEAH!
6* [=PaRappa=] the Rapper is in the game, filling old-school Playstation fans with glee.
7* Terrence C. Carson and Sean Pertwee are reprising their roles as Kratos and Mael Radec respectively.
8* 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 [[VideoGame/BioShock Big Daddy]]. Both characters were confirmed during Sony's E3 2012 conference.
9* 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.
10* [[VideoGame/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.
11* Hardcore fighting game aficionado Seth Killian joining the PSASBR dev team.
12* Oh, hey there, [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Heihachi]]!
13* And hello, Sony cat, Toro Inoue!
14* [[VideoGame/{{inFAMOUS}} Cole McGrath]] and [[VideoGame/JakAndDaxter Jak]] ([[HeterosexualLifePartners With Daxter, naturally]]) being revealed at San Diego Comic Con.
15* Franchise/RatchetAndClank have made it onto the field, ladies and Gents! And with him are [[VideoGame/ApeEscape Spike]], and [[VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet the Sackboy!]]
16* Hate the heroic [[VideoGame/{{inFAMOUS}} Cole McGrath]] that's in the game? Relax, his "infamous" persona is in too as a separate character & with different moves.
17* [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Raiden]] is in the game. Because everything's better with cyborg ninjas.
18* 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 VideoGame/{{Crash|Bandicoot}} or Franchise/{{Spyro|TheDragon}}, but ''man'', this is awesome! Playstation fans who have been around since TheNineties thank [=SuperBot=] for not forgetting them.
19* DLC characters have been released...[[VideoGame/{{Starhawk}} Emmett]]! Sweet! And who els-'''[[VideoGame/GravityRush Kat]]?!?'''. '''YES'''. And they're going to be ''free'' for the first two weeks!!
20* 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 representatives... '''HOLY SHIT, [[Franchise/DeadSpace ISAAC CLARKE?!!!]]'''
21** 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.
22** Let's not forget the ''VideoGame/MediEvil'' stage, which is mixed with ''Unfinished Swan'' of all things. You better believe Sir Dan's fans were happy.
