We hope you’ve been keeping track of all the recent updates on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale news, from an in-depth update on the PS Vita version to our behind-the-scenes look at mashing up different worlds, we’ve shown you what this game is shaping up to be…and we think it’s high time you try it out for yourselves!
Today, we’re happy to announce that the PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Beta will kick off for PlayStation Plus members on PS3 tomorrow, October 16th and expand to everyone October 23rd through PlayStation Store! What’s more, as a special treat, PS Vita users will be able dive right into the multiplayer beta starting tomorrow – no Plus subscription required. The Beta will support Cross-Play, so PS3 and PS Vita owners will be able to fight with and against each other.
So what will be in this limited Beta?
- You’ll be able to play as Kratos, Sweet Tooth, Colonel Radec, Sly Cooper, PaRappa, and Fat Princess.
- You’ll be able to play in both the Metropolis and Hades stages.
- You’ll be able to try out four-player online tournaments and 2 v 2 online tournaments. For the 2 v 2 games we’ll be supporting friend invites, so you and a friend can fight another team online.
This, of course, is only a tiny fraction of what PlayStation All-Stars has to offer, but we thought you’d love the chance to try it early and see what all the buzz is about. Be sure to hop on quickly as we’ll be ending the Beta on October 30th!
But that’s not all. As you know, we have a pre-order program running right now that unlocks a set of exclusive costumes in the game. Today we’re happy to unveil the rest of the costumes you’ll be getting with your pre-order of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
Unlocked with your pre-order at participating retailers, these costumes will work for both the PS3 and PS Vita when it releases on November 20th, so be sure to reserve your copy today. And don’t forget: PlayStation All-Stars features Cross-Buy support, so if you purchase the PS3 version, you’ll get a downloadable PS Vita version for no extra cost.
With Beta access beginning tomorrow, we look forward to getting your feedback on the game and seeing what you think of this highly anticipated title. Spread the word and we’ll see you online!
I played a match it was awesome and I won! Can’t wait for the next match!
i been trying for the last 15 mins on my Vita and no luck connecting =( guess i will try the tutorial -_-
@Todday how did u get it to connect?
Gotten 0x8cb95ae402f20102 on my Vita about a dozen times now. I’m giving up.
Don’t worry if you get an error when connecting, the amount of users hammering the servers at this time is bound to be big with both PS3 and Vita users online. It could also be a case of people just now finding out about and downloading the beta. Please be as patient as possible.
Also, add me on PSN. :)
Ok, I got into one match.
I was…. not so good.
The controls were unresponsive (don’t know if that’s the game, or if it was just laggy). I was playing against only one person, not three others. That person kept disappearing, and the camera would zoom in on me as if I was the only one playing. Then once the match was over the win/lose screen said there were two other people there the whole time.
I guess I’ll just have to wait and see if things get better, but needless to say, this beta is rough right now.
@225 Those are mostly all just server issues from the sound of it, give it time.
:/ “Failed to connect all clients.” Error Code: 0x8cb95ae402f20102
I got it but I can’t play it…
I just did what you guys did and kept trying to connect. Btw when you tried to add me. most of you guys are VITA lol. Keep trying like I did. Its worth it.
To be honest guys I would wait until tomorrow (probably) Or maybe later on. I mean it is a beta (just sayin)
i dont think 2v2s gonna work
Give it time, everyone.
@bubby323
Yes, most likely, but it still surprises me. Considering this is not the first beta they’ve had, I expected more wrinkles to be ironed out than this.
But it’s not a big deal. It’s not like today is our only chance to play it.
Also, feel free to add me, everyone. We’ll get a good match in eventually.
@260 Your party invites keep failing when I try to connect, assuming its the server but keep trying nevertheless.
@262 Add me. ;)
The background music is wicked.
just played a match was amazing!!! but now its giving me the error code again and yeah was worth attempting to play for like 10mins
I can see the players I invite to my party, however it seems that they cannot connect because they disappear.
Dude just played my first 2v2 match and won!!! I thought it was pretty fun. Brings back memories. (SSB)
bubby it keeps saying failed to connect
@giraffe901 Not sure why. It says the same on my end. Others are starting to have success, so that is a good sign.
when i was playing was super laggy players kept disappearing yeah reminds alo6t of ssb haha glad i pre ordered this game hopefully the server problem will be fixed tomarrow
bubby323 it keeps saying your party is full lol but from what am reading your in the same predicament as me lol
I’m going to try this again in a little bit, my battery is nearly dead, time for the charger.
@272 Lol, precisely.
They could at least tell us that something is wrong with the game rather than leaving us in the dark!
Just a heads up guys in case you dont know if ypu downloaded it off the vita you can download it on your ps3 off the view downloads =D
:/ “Failed to connect all clients.” Error Code: 0x8cb95ae402f20102
lets try inviting friends add me rimultimedia
I FINALLY GOT INTO 1 GAME!
@ 276 The PS3 beta?
@278 Invite me again.
I’ll give it until Thursday, if it’s still giving me the error I’ll be let down
@280 yes am currently downloading it for my PS3 now give it a try am at 25 % …. now that i think about it they did say ps vita user inside the vita get to experience cross play in the beta so it makes sense
anyone here on the vita who already got a match?
@282 I only see the Vita beta in my downloads, I think you are mistaken.
T_T
im on vita and yes i got into 1 match
@284 ohh yeah you right I just saw that…. got my hopes up lol
@287 The cross play features were referring to cross play matches not the beta for each system, unless you have Plus.
bubby u got in a game just now rite?
@289 Sadly, no.
i wonder if its my router or the servers.hmmm….
@291 Judging by the number of people with the same issues, the server.
On vita still waiting…arg
