This Week On PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale: Free Avatars, Oh Kratos... you continue to goof.

[Guest]

Sackboy and Raiden are leaked again.

Plus some others and we got the final box art.

I perfer that boxart over the other one, the other one was really generic.

Oh god, final box art? that doesn't seem promising to me.

[Teoskaven]

Ok, let's see...

-the character between Sweet Tooth and Parappa is Lightning: i can see rather clearly her standard outfit; i don't get instead who's the other one, the green blot left to her;

-between Parappa and Radec there is obviously Ratchet & Clank and... Jin Kazama?

-i don't know who's between Radec and Kratos, but it seems to be a sword wielder we haven't seen yet.

-almost near to Cole there is a character with a schyte; i fear is the new Dante...

Here, i made this.

Here, i made this.

Addressing the ones you highlighted from left to right:

• I don't know who the other is, but that definitely isn't Lightning. That looks like Nariko from Heavenly Sword.
  
• Don't know who the guy next to Ratchet is.
  
• I'm absolutely positive that's Jak and Daxter.
  
• No idea.
  

[Marcello]

It's Ryu Hayabusa, I believe. Kazuya is to the left of him. And I'm pretty sure Lightning is Nariko.

The extra Tekken chars are probably NPCs for story mode. Perhaps even Heihachi skins/alts.

It's Ryu Hayabusa, I believe.

Same exact render.

This one character wasn't in the beta files. I guess you guys can still hope for Crash, haha.

[Jango]

LOL Ninja Gaiden, defaq man.

[Nintendoga]

Ryu's in the game? Cool, I'm up for some gory Ninja action.

[Carbo]

I'll laugh if he's based off of the Ninja Gaiden 3 iteration.

Can't wait for another Raiden clone generic sword user.

[Humbler]

Wait, what? Hayabusa's confirmed? But he's already in a fighting game this year. That ninja just can't can't keep his blades to himself, huh?

[Winston]

I really don't think Crash or Spyro are going to get in, I'm just going to assume that from now on.

[buba]

So, who will be Ryu's minion? Ayane?

That's the only part of the game I still don't quite understand. So what are minions? Are they like assist trophies where they come out and help the player on the battlefield?

Sort-of, except I believe they have one or so for each character, instead of various. Like if Nathan Drake summons a minion, he always gets Victor Sullivan...or so I believe.

Just characters that appear with the playable character for a move/super or in the story mode.

For example Kuma appears in Heihachi's 2nd super, Kuro appears in one of Toro's super and with Pierre in the story mode.

Actually there are more than 1 minion for character, Toro has 2 by now (Kuro and Pierre).

Well, what I mean is Captain Qwark isn't going to pop up for Sly Cooper.

[buba]

Oh, sorry then.

But yeah, minions are character specific and appear during moves and cutscenes.

[Teoskaven]

So it seems that the image of Jin, Kazuya and Ryu are taken of by their artwork. Combined with Cole taken from the cover of the first inFamous and some other factors, this make me believe that this image is fake :/

But it was in the official site if I'm not mistaken.

[Winston]

.

*laughs* No.

[Guest]

Okay you guys, just wait for Paul and Gamescon to confirm this....

[Chili Dawg]

There's nothing to confirm. That's pretty obviously photoshopped stock art from Twinsanity (I think, maybe Tag Team Racing).

[Your Vest Friend]

maybe Tag Team Racing

Yep, this one. I can tell each render of Crash apart easily.

...

That's sad.

[Dobkeratops]

But it was in the official site if I'm not mistaken.

It was and the accompanying Raiden x Cole image had the former in a pose that doesn't come from any MGR media released to date.

So, who will be Ryu's minion? Ayane?

</Tecmo>

[KHCast]

Wonder if Assassins creed or RE will get any representation....

[Teoskaven]

Ubisoft seems to be a very gentle and kind company this recent months (being exactly the opposite of EA and Activision), so i guess that AC could have a chance.

I don't know about RE: if we still have Dante and a potential gunner moveset is already for Drake and Radec, i don't know who can they put in...

The real question is with all this variety of third part characters we will see a SEGA one (Yakuza perhaps?).
