Gameplay
PlayStation All-Stars Clash would play in a similar manner to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, in which each character is given a unique moveset and pitted against each other in up to four-player battle royales. Unlike the real installment, however, Clash would be based around stamina and damage-based matches and each character would only get a single super move. Each stage would only represent a single IP or series. It would include a Free Battle mode, Arcade Mode, and Training Mode. Due to the lack of the Multi-Tap accessory at the time, PlayStation All-Stars Clash would only support two players, with the other characters being CPU-controlled.
Beginning with Rumble, the PlayStation All-Stars series would take a unique turn for the better. The combat would be upgraded to better match the unique fighting styles of each character, and would see its first handheld release. Each character would be given two unique super moves and the crossover of stages would be introduced. The modes on this game would include: Free Battle, Training, Arcade Mode, Multiplayer and online play, and Fierce Combat (a mode where you face each playable character, followed by the most powerful antagonist of each IP.)
Battle Royale would be the third installment and include all the features of the actual game: Super-Based matches, each character gets three Super Moves, etc. However, new features not present in the real Battle Royale would also be implemented, such as: the return of Fierce Combat (now upgraded with more fierce boss characters). a new Synchronization system that pairs two All-Stars together as they combine their Supers into a powerful Fusion Attack, and the Classic Combat free DLC pack that would give veteran fighters their original movesets, as well as bring back characters that didn't return for Battle Royale.
Combat Arena would be the fourth installment and sequel to Battle Royale. It would include an array of new modes, including Create-An-All-Star Mode, Story Mode: Multiversal Evolution, and other such modes. New features include fully animated 3D models in the character select screen, a new Vita-Styled menu screen, fully animated character themes (the characters will also move and speak about the the different modes), and moveset customization (allowing players to select alternative movesets for their characters, such as Cole, giving him the option of "Good", "Evil", "Vampire", "Kessler", or "Empire City" movelists). Other features to be announced.
Orange Version, Purple Version, and Polygon Version would play in a similar manner to the handheld Pokemon series.
Colosseum would play in a similar manner to Pokemon: Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness.
Alternate History: V1 Characters
The original roster was 12 characters (To compete with Smash Bros). The sequel (including veterans) has 24, and the Series Version of Battle Royale would have 34.

Trivia
- Cole MacGrath would be added to Rumble to promote the release of inFamous, hence its "release" in 2009. He is essentially Neutral, although some of his attacks and one of his Supers lean toward the Evil Karma path, due to the popularity of Evil Cole at the time of inFamous.

- PlayStation All-Stars Rumble would also be re-released as a PS2 Classic for PS3 and PSVita.
- PlayStation All-Stars: Trilogy Collection would include Clash, Rumble, and Battle Royale on a single Blu-Ray disc or Vita card.
