Sony shamelessly rips of Smash Bros.

In all seriousness, the idea of crossover fighting game doesn't belong to Nintendo, so, unless it's really similar in some other ways, it's probably not ripping that off.

Well, sure Sony has a variety of franchises, but I've actually never seen any games that they actually developed.

Sony did have an internal developement which mostly produced sport games (and shit), but the deal is that they own a ridiculous number of studios worldwide. Beside, being "directly" developed doesn't mean a damn in the context of crossover fighters - otherwise Kirby, Pokemon and Mother should be discounted from Smash Bros. since their developers were third-parties bought by Nintendo.

Barring differences in taste, they have [...] Valkyria Chronicles,

that was developed and published by Sega (and the IP is owned by them, not Sony) so that's not a good example, though.

Oh, I never knew. Besides though, I didn't say Sony wasn't allowed to use their 2nd party characters. :P.

Oh, right... You know, I even knew that too. I threw them in because they're PlayStation exclusives, sorry.
 
I made a topic on this a while back but whatever.

The game could be interesting but most of the characters would be mainly guns and stuff.

I didn't know guns counted as characters. Also, you're full of shit; Sony makes more than just shooters, you know.

Doesn't HAL also make SSB?

But I agree with the people saying that Sony isn't ripping of Nintendo.
 
I know, but you can't deny that theres an overflow of shooters. Games like Uncharted are fine, since they're not purely shooter. The story in those games are pretty amazing too. I still stick to Zelda though.
