User blog:LeeHatake93/LeeHatake's PlayStation All-Stars Round 2

PlayStation All-Stars: Round 2 is a sequel to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale idea created by LeeHatake93''. ''It would be developed exclusively for the PlayStation 4. This particular incarnation is a revamp of my previous version.

Story
After the defeat of Polygon Man, the All-Stars seemingly return to their everyday lives. However, their peace is short-lived after Twisted Metal's Calypso reveals his interest in the other worlds. Using a newfound power, Calypso decides to bring his Twisted Metal tournament to the next level, inviting not only the psychotic clown, Sweet Tooth, to the ring, but also the various fighters from other worlds, announcing the first ever Twisted Metal Multiverse Tournament. Instead of the traditional game of vehicular manslaughter, this time, Twisted Metal is a battle royale fighting tournament taking place in multiple worlds to find out exactly which participants deserve the title of "All-Stars". The winner, as usual, will have their wish granted, no matter what it may be. However, what could Calypso's true agenda be?

Gameplay
The gameplay has seen an overhaul, featuring a damage system in addition to the original Super-centric battle system. Characters now have two finishing moves rather than three Super Moves. A Critical Strike, which is a move that inflicts a lot of damage, but is not guaranteed an instant KO, and a Final Strike, which is an instant KO move just like the Level 3 Super Move from PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Final Strikes can only be performed after characters collect an AP Orb, which is similar to the Smash Ball item from the Super Smash Bros. series. Critical Strikes can be performed via filling an energy gauge, similar to the Super Meter from Battle Royale. Additional new features in the gameplay include a variations system, in the vein of Mortal Kombat X and Injustice 2's inclusion of the TMNT. With this feature, some characters may select one of multiple movesets, allowing multiple potential movelists to exist for a single character slot. For example, Cole MacGrath and Evil Cole now occupy a single character slot, yet retain their individual movesets. Additionally, Kratos also gains a new moveset where he is paired with his son, Atreus, in addition to retaining his original moveset from Battle Royale. In addition to this, some characters may also recieve Premier Variants, wherein they are playable as a different character, similar to Injustice 2's premier skins, and new moves in their playstyle. One such example of this type of character is Nathan Drake, who would also be playable as Chloe, Nadine, or Sam Drake.

The game also supports the traditional features of the PlayStation 4 system, such as SharePlay, livestreaming, and Photo Mode.
