Hideki Kamiya has recently taken to Twitter to voice his opinion on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Kamiya, the creator of popular game series Bayonetta, Okami, and Project P-100 for the Wii U, thinks that Sony’s brawler is little more than rip-off of Nintendo’s popular Smash Bros. franchise.
Kamiya is definitely echoing the sentiments that have already been voiced by many gamers since PS All Stars was revealed earlier this year. Â But the entire industry is fueled by this type of in-genre competition. Â Shooters are fundamentally structured in the same ways, but the nuances and features differ in each. Â The same can be said about the similarities between PlayStation All-Stars and Super Smash Bros, the problems is Super Smash Bros has been a lone title in a genre that it basically created.
The real ironic thing about it is that Kamiya is directly related to at least two of the game’s mascots being used. Â Kamiya is the creator of the Devil May Cry series, and the original Dante is his creation. Â Working with Platinum Games, Kamiya is also directly related to Raiden who is the main character of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
