Gameplay
The gameplay is conceptually similar to the Super Smash Bros. series, in which up to four players can battle each other using characters from various Sony franchises such as God of War, PaRappa the Rapper and Sly Cooper, as well as third-party franchises like BioShock. There are, however, differences in how opponents are defeated. During the game, players damage other players to receive orbs that build up a power meter at the bottom of the screen (These orbs can also be found on the stage over the course of the match). Earning enough power allows players to use one of three levels of super moves which can be used to defeat opponents and earn points. Arenas are also inspired by various PlayStation titles, with some areas mashing up two titles into one (for example, a LittleBigPlanet-themed stage which is mixed with Buzz!). The game will feature cross-platform play between the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita versions.
Stages and items
Along with the host of varying playable characters, All-Stars also comes with a range of items and levels influenced by various PlayStation franchises. Currently, fourteen stages have been confirmed, each based on a combination of two games, such as "Sandover Village" (based on Jak & Daxter and Hot Shots Golf), "Dreamscape" (based on LittleBigPlanet and Buzz!), and "Hades" (based on God of War and Patapon). In addition, there are also twenty known item pick-ups that can be utilized by players, such as the Hedgehog Grenade from Resistance and the Gravity Shield from Wipeout.

In case you were not aware, the super obvious Super Smash Brothers rip off, PlayStation All-Stars is starting its private developer beta now. But, for those of you who want to get your hands on the game and were not given access to the beta, don't fret because it's coming soon.
Well, when I say soon, I mean October, late October. There are still not a lot of details about the game, but so far we know that it is similar to SSB in the way that the gameplay works, but instead of Nintendo characters and stages, you get ones that feature PlayStation exclusives and other well-known game characters (not licensed by Nintendo).
Will you guys be joining the beta? Are you upset that the beta is coming out when the full game was supposed to?

So much wrong /facepalm
1. The game is based more of health and combos while smash is all hitting people off the screen.
2. Game controls are very different
3. The they've changed super moves in an entirely different, better system
4. More focus on supers
5. A different combo system
The only thing they're copying from Smash is taking characters from a variety of exclusives, and using a 2d-like setting.
Yes, they are using Smash as a base for the project, due to it's success, but that's nothing new for anyone.
---------------------------------------------
Anyways, so in that case what's the new release date, also a source plz
