Why do people dismiss PS1 characters as wasted slots?

I'd say it's the age demographic more than anything. Younger teens (13-16 etc) likely won't be familiar with the ps1 faces at all.


Pretty much. Too young.

im 15, the only character i didnt know was sir dan, even though ive heard of medieval (i think thats the name)

also, the only character i see as a wasted "slot" is evil cole. i even made a topic about it.
Parappa is awesome, and i actually saw him through pewdiepies youtube channel.
i heard of ape escape before
Toro, ive seen him plenty of times.
I just didnt know sir dan beforehand.


I firmly agree with your post. I'm 20, and Medieval was the only included franchise I'd never heard of.

Yes, Evil Cole is the only one who isn't needed. Don't know why Infamous gets two reps just because the game has a morality system.


there was a topic today i think explaining how cole couldnt be in the game unless they had good and evil, to represent the different playstyles of infamous or something along those lines. They tried a system where his supers depended on how the character controlled him, but decided it wasnt fair for the players who wanted to play as either cole, since they would be forced to play as him a specific way to get good/bad cole, so they just made two slots for him to make it fair.

I dont like it, but i can understand.

I think it's more funny that we have an all star to a game that isn't even out yet.

I've heard of Ape Escape but I never knew about Spike before this game. Back when I first played SSB64, I had never heard of Metroid/Samus, Kirby, F-Zero/Captain Falcon, or Earthbound/Ness. Granted, I was much much younger at the time and I still enjoyed playing as those characters.

Killzone is alot more relevant than Parappa but not Spike and thats only due to the analog support.

Other than that Killzone has a lot more going for it for playstation than them 2.

They're wasted slots because they're not from the current generation.


If I had a choice I'd make the roster have characters only the current generation knows.

It'd sell more.

Robbit (Jumping Flash!) definitely most wanted AND deserving for PS All-Stars Battle Royale!!!
Also, Sullivan is still a dirty old man.

Don't get me wrong they're good characters but people who came into the PS3 era like me, it'd only make sense at a good business standpoint.


I've been wrong before though. That is my guess.

Probably because no one cares about PS1 era characters?
