Earlier today we learned that the PS3 and PlayStation Vita versions of Street Fighter X Tekken will include five exclusive characters: Mega Man, Pac-Man, Cole McGrath and Japanese PlayStation mascots Toro and Kuro.
It got me thinking about cameos and guest appearances in games – an increasingly frequent occurrence, it seems, particularly in beat ‘em ups. And it’s not just other game characters popping up in other pixels’ playgrounds: the NBA Jam series has a long tradition of including Presidential ‘ballers and the mighty Phil Collins popped up in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
This week’s Weekend Debate poser is:
What would be your dream gaming crossovers or cameos and why?
The 15 most original and entertaining ideas as decided by our independent judge will bag their authors a voucher code for the LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack to help you make your dream mash-ups for yourselves. Do bear in mind that you will need a copy of LittleBigPlanet 2 (not included) to use this DLC.
Can’t wait to read what you come up with!

Darth Vader in Soul Caliber. No? err, Ezio in Soul Caliber? Dammit! Err, I got it, Superman and Batman in a Mortal Kombat game? Really? already?
ARGH!
How do you answer that without it ending up completely tacky and/or unoriginal?
OK, I got it. I wouldn’t mind seeing a crossover of Silent Hill characters into Resident Evil.
Or vice-versa.
I think bringing the creepy, protagonist specific enemies from silent hill into the almost action based(at least now anyway) setting of Resident Evil could really throw off the gamer, pull them out of they’re comfort zone and set the scene for some genuinely terrifying gaming.
And ofcourse, Pyramid Head!
Or, how about, Kratos and Freddy Kruger fighting in the pit from Mortal Kombat?
What?
Really?
OH COME ON!

I’d love to see Nathan Drake exploring Bioshock’s city of “Rapture”. fighting off big daddys, experimenting with splicing and kicking some ass!
The city is prime for action/adventurer exploration and it worked so well in First Person I’m sure Naughty Dog/Irrational Games could do one hell of a job if they combined together.
anyway, happy Friday guys, have a great weekend

Victor Sullivan (Uncharted) and Zeke Dunbar (inFamous) in a new game called Super Sidekick Bros. imagine the casual comical profanity-laced exclamations! No voucher needed, just a percentage of the profits when it gets made.

How’s about every single games character ever crossing over to Arkham City and beating the crap out of Harley Quinn? I know she was designed to be annoying but Rocksteady almost took it too far!

I’de love to see Assassin’s Creed and Prince of Persia(the sands of time series) crossover.
You could make it so that the dagger of time is a relic from the civilation that came before left over.
Both the Assassin’s and the prince are extremely acrobatic and are both made by Ubisoft I think it would make a great crossover.

It would have to be a game where story isn’t too important or at least where the additional character fits. For example if Sly Cooper turned up in uncharted it’s make absolutely no sense. On the other hand a beat ‘em up with Nathan Drake, Kratos, Cole, Sly & Sackboy and loads more in 3D would be pretty fantastic. It’s been done before but I’m sure somebody could come up with something to differentiate it.

I know that this one has been rumoured for a while, but I’d really like to see a fighting game with lots of different PlayStation characters in it. Having watched the Street fighter X Teken trailer this morning, I think a lot of PlayStation characters would fit perfectly in a game like that. After all, Cole is in that, while Kratos was in Mortal Kombat. I think the ultimate list would include characters from all 3 generations. So you’d have Drake, Cole, a Chimeran Hybrid, a Helghast, Sackboy, Kratos, Ratchet and Clank and Sly. Whilst also having some classic characters such as Spyro, Crash, Jak and Daxter. Throw in some 3rd party characters such as Snake, Ezio and Cloud and I think you’d have the ultimate “who would win game”. Each character would have their own unique fighting style, so characters like Ratchet could have a huge arsenal of weapons, while a Hybrid could fire a bullseye tag so that dodging gun fire would be harder. The list of possibilities for a game like that are huge!

My dream crossover/cameo would be to have an iconic Nintendo/xbox 360 character (Mario/Master Chief) appearing in a game on any of the Sony platforms as it would put an end to people saying it would never happen. This would definately be a dream and never become a reality….

Being able to play as Atlas/P-Body from Portal 2 in any side-scrolling fighting game would be fantastic fun. While their attacks would be rubbish, being able to confuse opponents by jumping in and out of portals and appearing somewhere completely different would create a great brains-over-brawn component to the game!
I’m also still hoping for a Ratchet and Clank/Jak and Daxter crossover that uses the gameplay from both series, although the chances of that happening seem to be getting slimmer and slimmer…

Posted on 27 January, 2012 at 3:46 pm by Ziggy_Marley_93
Thought of some more…. Sackboy could have a bunch of different attacks that involved created items being thrown at enemies (kinda like Green Lantern). Snake could become camouflaged allowing him to move around the screen undetected. Cole would work kinda how Ryu does in Street Fighter, obviously with electric attacks. Ezio would have a mix of close up and ranged attacks – throwing daggers from a far, whilst also being able to leap towards an enemy and stabbing them with his hidden blades.
The options are endless.

How about a fighting game with characters from PSN games? Like Braid, Joe Danger, Rayne, Doc from back to the future, little swarm creatures, jambots, one crazy payday guy, the one from Alien Zombie Megadeath, from Limbo, Rochard, from Outland, the ship from stardust, a fat princess, Shank, some plants and, of course, some zombies! That would be crazy awesome!

My dream cameos: Sephiroth, Cloud Strife, MGS Ninja Grey Fox & Vamp, Kain & Raziel, DMC Dante and Virgil, Samanosuke Akechi all of them in a Soul Calibur game.
Why them?
Because they are probably the most awesome characters “with a sword” that you can find in any game.

Being the Marvel fan I am, and seeing we’ll have a new spectacular comic book crossover starting this April, Avengers vs X-Men would be a great option, it could be a one vs one fighting game or even a multiplayer RPG-esque beat’em up game with the players taking sides for one of the teams and getting different stories, game sections and endings depending on their decisions.
Or perhaps Megaman in a Street Fighter x Tekken game!… Wait!
Stay cool, Capcom

Jet Li and Chow yun fat and Jackie chan have all had been in games but I would like to see the previous three actors and a few more like Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa, Wei Zhao, Sammo Hung, Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Damme and the late bruce lee all bought together in a fighting game against the likes of The Rock, Jeffrey Dean Morgan,John Cena, Liam Neeson and all other actors from The Expendables the list could go forever but im sure you get the point lol.
A fighting game with all action actors from past and present maybe through in a few comedians just to add comedy factor.

Mario in Metal Gear Solid. Not instead of Snake though but as an enemy. I just want to sneak up behind the laziest plumber I’ve ever seen (has he ever fixed anything? And getting high on mushrooms is bad. Winners don’t use drugs!) and stealthily snap his neck.
Otherwise it would have to be either Transformers in Armoured Core (or maybe a new Zone of the Enders), Lego Metal Gear Solid or Lego Uncharted. What the hell, best mash up ever would be Lego Transformers Metal Gear Zone of the Uncharted Solid Enders!

I’d like to see a PlayStation mascot RPG. You could have the PlayStation heroes up against the villains who have teamed up once and for all to get rid of them and finally get their way. Each character would have their own class and abilities so:
Cole would be a magic wielder shooting lightning at the enemies
Kratos would be the brawling tank character dealing damage to foes
Nathan Drake could be a thief style character and use ranged weapons
Ratchet and Clank would have their wide range of weapons for dealing some damage but mainly status effects
Sackboy could be a hybrid changing costumes to change his class and abilities
Jak and Daxter would be ranged, but after enough damage / dark eco would become enraged and transform dealing heavy melee damage
Parappa The Rapper would be the bard class, because what’s an RPG without a bard class?
That’s just a few characters there could be plenty more and lots of enemies too. Get Square Enix to make it and give it the loving treatment they gave Kingdom Hearts to create the worlds and bring it to life. That’s the perfect crossover game… for me at least!

I’d love to see God of War and Heavenly Sword mix.
Kratos and Nariko were made for each other!
Kratos has got to be one of cameoed characters ever! Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, LittleBigPlanet, Hot Shots golf, Modnation racers, Heavenly Sword (His armour and weapons), Guitar Hero 3 (His theme song).
That’s 7 guest appearances, I think that makes Kratos Sony’s murderous yet lovable mascot!

Well i dont have LBP2 so no use in me winning but..
When i was younger i came up with an idea i always wanted to see.
A resident evil 2/metal gear solid crossover.
With snake drafted in to try and stop the evil umbrella corporation stealthing the zombies and making his way through racoon city and maybe meeting up with jill along the way. Always thought that would be cool.
35
Posted on 27 January, 2012 at 4:53 pm by TXxBossxXT
Why can’t I edit my bloody post! Anyway I forgot the Kratos cameo in The Simpsons Game so that makes 8 guest appearances! And Kratos was parodied in an episode of The Simpsons which was awesome! So if you include that Kratos has made 9 appearances in IP’s other than God of War.

Even though the timelines don’t fit, It would still be cool to see the engineering suits from Dead Space 2 make an apearance in the Mass Effect series. Even the Necromorphs and the weapons like the plasma cutter would also intergrate well within the ME universe. They are both published by EA, so it could be possible. Because we all know EA love their DLC.

I dont know where else to send my idea. I have posted it numerous times on the share blog us site but it never gets approved. I wanted to know if it is anyway possible for you to change the PSN Name of friends to a nickname as we would know them as some of my friends have some weird user names and the more friends I get the harder it is to realise who it is.
Can you advise me if this is possible or if you can advise me where to post my ideas to for someone to actually read them I would appriciate it.
Thanks.

I would love to see [PROTOTYPE] anti-hero Alex Mercer in any other game. With those mutation powers, imagine him plowing through Arkham City, Nosgoth or… Middle Earth! He would also be tons of fun in a beat’em up game, e.g. Alex Mercer vs Heihachi Mishima!!! Also Raziel from the “Legacy of Kain” series would make a very interesting cross-over character with lots of potential for any action/stealth game.

Pokemon in zombies for COD. C’mon, who doesn’t love Pokemon? Rather than pack a punch, you can evolve your pokemon and instead of weapons, you add more pokemon to your team. The perk machine could be new moves etc.

I would love to see Star Trek related content in any game ever. I cannot think of a game where Star Trek would not fit and be explainable through Star Trek lore. Albeit extremely bizarrely! The most fun X-over I can think of is Mortal Kombat, strangley! I guess MK just allows boundaries to be broken.
Star Trek characters DLC for MK.
Captain Kirk (obviously). fighting style – Starfleet hand to hand combat with a healthy dose of brawling thrown in. special moves – transporter teleportation across screen. Fatality – Set phasers to deep fry!
Spock. fighting style – Vulcan martial arts. Special moves – Vulcan mind meld. (anticipate opponents attacks for a short period of time). Fatality – Your life is not logical (one hand neck break).
Lieutenant Worf. Fighting style – Klingon Warrior Combat. Special moves – back breaker (crushes opponent with barrel). Fatality – Batleth mutilation.
Borg Drone. Fighting style – Brute force. Special Moves – Nanite infection. Fatality – Assimilation.
I could go on but I think I already have!
Star Trek DLC for every game ever! get working on it Sony! Haha. It really does fit into any game.
