Santa Monica may not fix latest PlayStation All-Stars patch

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was patched up over a week ago, affecting how the game is installed on the PlayStation Vita and still not addressing some character issues. It appears that Sony Santa Monica may not be able to fix some of these bugs.


SSM released this announcement on the official PlayStation forms, acknowledging that they are hearing user's complaints, but may not be able to do much about it. From PlayStation Lifestyle:

Saying how “we cannot promise a 2nd patch,” Sony Santa Monica added, “but I can promise you we’re reading all feedback and evaluating any potential game-breaking, emergency level issues. We understand a balance patch of this magnitude may require tuning, but have yet to determine if we can.”

It hasn't been a great time for the troubled Sony developer. For those unaware, SSM has been hit with layoffs and talented people leaving the studio. A new IP that was in the works was also cancelled. Currently, they're working with Ready at Dawn for the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, The Order 1886.

The good news is the Vita players having trouble installing the game is being worked on, and it could have been fixed over the weekend. SSM doesn't believe it requires another patch to solve for everybody.

SSM has stated that the gap between the best and worst players have shrunk significantly, and some character issues, such has Kat and Cole not being nerfed enough (as they highlighted) may simply not be reached due to lack of "resources to address" those.
