Why Kat And Emmet Were DLC In PlayStation All-Stars

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is one of my favorite Smash Bros like games. I first saw this game either in late 2012 or early 2013 when my dad had his friends over and they installed it.

I tried the game for myself and I was fascinated by it. I would play it everyday after school during my elementary and middle school years in California. I still have a copy of it on disc.

My favorite characters in this game are Kratos, Raiden, Kat, Ratchet, Sackboy, Cole and plenty others. Precisely, this isn't what I'm discussing at the moment.

You see, I came across a strange version of this game and I was horrified.

It was a good sunday for me and I was at home watching Final Destination 3 and eating a hawaiian pizza. During the scene where Wendy begs the workers not to operate the roller coaster because her boyfriend Jason is on it and he'll probably die, I looked out the window and saw the mail truck.

I paused the movie and went to go check the mail. There were mostly bills for my dad, my brother and my grandmother. That was when I saw that I had a package.

I brought the mail to my grandmother since she was the only one home with me and then I took my package with me. When I opened it up, there was a PS3 game inside it.

It was a copy of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale which left me confused. "Don't I already have this game?" I muttered.

And yes, I do have it, but the cover is in Spanish while the main game is in american English.

However, as I looked at the game case, many things were off.

First of all, the lights on Big Daddy's face were drawn with red marker instead of being yellow, Sackboy was crying blood and there were blood stains on the cake Fat Princess was eating.

Since it looked strange, I decided to play it. I hooked up my PS3, got myself a plate of corn dogs, a bag of Fritos flavor twists, a can of lemonade and proceeded to sit back and enjoy the game.

However, things quickly started to go downhill. The opening logos for Superbot Entertainment and Bluepoint Engine were normal, but the Santa Monica Studios logo was in red instead of the traditional gray style.

And then I got to the opening cutscene where it would show many of the default characters fighting each other. But in some funny and odd way, it didn't show Jak running through the blue XMB waves.

This went on for about 10 seconds before I heard the music beginning to play and Jak ran out so fast that I almost choked on my drink.

The rest of the opening cutscene continued normal until the ending. You see, Polygon Man would usually be at the end, but he wasn't there at all. Instead, Kat Alua and Emmett Graves were taking his place.

For some reason, the characters were speaking.

"Why couldn't we be default?" Emmett asked.

Kat replied in an english accent, "The creators made a big mistake and we're going to show all those default characters a lesson."

I was confused at this point but continued on with the game anyway. I got to the menu with Kratos being in it. I was greeted by a message which said that this may be my first time playing so I winded up doing the tutorial.

After completing it, I proceeded to head into arcade mode. The character selection screen was way different. For some reason, Kat and Emmett were already unlocked. Kat did not have her usual happy expression, instead she had a more angry expression.

Also, what shocked me the most was that Emmett's eyes were red instead of blue. When I tried to click on one of them, I would be given a message that said, "This character is not an option."
