Eh, I kinda lied. That Radec dude seems pretty cool. I've never played a single Killzone game, but he looks really neat. He carries a sniper rifle(?) and looks generally cool.



I would nerd all over my walls if he ends up being playable.

Radec is cool. He was the final boss in Killzone 2. His sniper rifle his infinite range, he just needs to be on a long horizontal plane.

As for me, I'm waiting on Cole. I know he will be in, but damnit I want a reveal trailer.

I wonder if Gnasty Gnork would be a candidate as a playable character?

To get me fully interested: -Crash
-Spyro
*-Jersey Devil
*-Sora/Roxas
*=More or less

Heihachi from Tekken and that Kolo mouse thing from SFvsT have been comfirned.

Toro Inoue.

Already said that last page

Evo Interview Panel Recap

Notes on the panel for those who may have missed it. Hopefully the videos are up soon, because those combo vids are sick:

Release Date: October 23rd

GAME MECHANICS

SUPERS
- Supers are earned by accumulating AP
- There are 3 levels of super, each level being more powerful than the last
- Supers can’t be blocked, but there are various ways to defend against them
- Level 1 supers are not as easy to land. Level 2 supers are more combo-able.
- Level 3 supers lockout all other supers. Example: While Kratos is in god-mode, no other super can be activated.

DEFENDING AGAINST SUPERS (Level 1 and Level 2)
- Supers can be avoided, dodged, or countered
- Supers can be dodged.
+ With half a frame on a roll. Several characters were shown doing this.
+ With a full frame on an air dodge. Big Daddy was able to air dodge Nate’s Lvl 1 propane tank super
- Supers can be evaded.
+ Sly was able to teleport outside of a super
+ A big focus is the air game which is used avoid many OTG supers
- Supers can be interrupted
+ Normals can be used to interrupt most level 1 supers which require a charge up.
+ Supers can be countered with other supers

THROWS
- Throws can be used to eject, knockback, combo, and deplete meter

COMBO SYSTEM
- With Infinite Avoidance System, characters don’t fall victim to infinite combos
+once you hit an AP threshold, your opponent gets ejected from the combo and placed into an invincible aerial state until they hit the ground.
- An extensive combo video was shown that will hopefully go into these mechanics.

CONFIRMED MODES

- Heihachi and Toro (w/ Kuro) confirmed as rivals
Multiplayer Mode
- Singles
- Doubles

HOW ARE CHARACTERS SELECTED?
- interesting and unique gameplay is first and foremost
- characters people associate with playstation
- characters that make the game better
- not necessary a balance of era (PSX, PS2, PS3, etc)
- characters that are popular/niche
- character selections not entirely up to superbot (Sony mandates certain portions of the roster. So if someone doesn't get in (Or if there's someone who no one mostly wants), you know that its due to Sony)

WHY WAS HEIHACHI INCLUDED AND WHAT’S HIS FIGHTING STYLE?
-He was a cool character
-Tekken is a playstation fighting game
-He is the patriach of the mishima family
+ up close, combo oriented
+ lots of dodge attacks to close the gap between him and his opponents
+ He has a move where he throws a bowling pin (an homage to Tekken 2)
+ His Lvl 3 Super is based off his Tekken 5 Ending

WHY WAS TORO INCLUDED AND WHAT’S HIS FIGHTING STYLE?
-Really big in japan
-Official playstation mascot
+ loves cosplay and wants to be human
+ each stance represents various fighting games (MK, SF, and Tekken)

SOUNDTRACK
- each level is this world meets this world and the music reflects that through remixes
- an OST is something Omar really wants to have happen for this game

UNLOCKABLES
- outfit for every character
- Alluded to potential customization options

FOR COMIC-CON
+ New costumes confirmed
+ New characters plus a few other surprises

ONLINE DETAILS and POST LAUNCH PLANS
- Character adjustments can be made on the fly based on data collected of online matches played.
- They’re trying something new with the online so there’s no slowdown and the experience is the same across the board, different from most fighting games
- The plan is pack in as much content as they can on disc, and whoever they miss, they’ll work to add via DLC. That is of course going to be based on demand and other factors.

way to go mkwhopper on keeping us updated with all stars.

i'm curious who will you guys/girls will be playing as.

my characters will be. might change when roster is totatally confirmed.

1.kratos
2.heihachi
3.sweet tooth
4.big daddy
5.mael radec

i'm curious if it will support more than 4 players offline. kinda like some of the older ps2 games had 6-8 players. sometimes denpending on what game.

Thanks mkwhopper, that post was very informative.

In regards to what acidslayer said, my top 5 is:

1. Kratos
2. Parappa
3. Sweet Tooth
4. Nathan Drake
5. Mael Radec

(When Cole gets announced, he will be my main. Also this list is subject to change when the full roster is revealed, but for now this is my list.)

I would use: -Heihachi
-Toro
-Sweet Tooth
-Parappa
-Kratos

They probably have 10+ more characters to reveal I think

no final fantasy 7 cloud or kh characters yet? surprising

So far it seems like Parappa, Sly, and Sweet Tooth will be my mains...

Fun Fact: SuperBot managed to bring the VA for Parappa out of retirement to voice him again (I think his name is Dred Foxx or something)

Played at EVO today. Fun game, but I'm not sure how long it's lasting power will be yet. I can't see myself pouring thousands of hours into it like I do with the smash bros series.

It's fun though overall.

Sweet Tooth is fun business.

That's what I call fan service. They also got Sean Pertwee to voice Radec again.

Yeah, but KZ2 came out three years ago...Dred hasn't done that voice in 11 years

True. It's the fact that they are getting all of the original Voice Actors to reprise their roles. It screams dedication to me.

Needs more female characters

I couldn't agree more. Nariko and Lara Croft please?

I want this fucker in too

I want Meryl in this game god damn it.

Cole and Jak and Daxter confirmed.

About fucking time for Cole...

Could you provide a source, please? ^^

YAY! Jak and Daxter! I have found my main! ^^
