PlayStation's live-action heroes are back, and they're beating the crap out of each other.

Last year, Deutsch L.A. created “Michael,” a two-minute paean to the hardcore gamer. In that spot, actors recreated a host of characters from the console's hit games, congregated in a bar and toasting the deeds of the everyman holding the controller. Today, the agency has reprised a handful of those characters for a Michael-Bay-style fight sequence—part of "The All-Star," another two-minute teaser also shot by “Michael” director Simon McQuoid, for the upcoming melee title, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
