Support NeoGAF

[Heisenberg007]

It's time to vote with your wallet.

Buy Astrobot.

Send Sony a message about what you want. This is the best way to make your voices heard. I'm glad that people rejected Concord. I hear so many times that Sony needs to bring back those smaller AA games and 3D platformers like Ratchet, Sly, and Jak & Daxter, instead of chasing GaaS.

This is your time.

Make a statement. Support Team Asobi. Support Astrobot. Make Sony see where the money and interest is.

That's it.

Did my part

 

[Dacvak]

This has been my most anticipated game this year ever since the reveal, and I've been hoping for a full PS5 Astro Bot game since I played Playroom. I'm even gonna buy that little robot controller.

LONG LIVE ASTRO BOT!

 

[Matt_Fox]

I preordered it this morning - reviews are great, and it sounds right up my street - no messing around with stories with tedious non-interactive cutscenes and conversations - just pure fun gameplay!

 

[Mibu no ookami]

 

[Evolved1]

Did my part

yeah, me too. still pissed this wasn't vr though.

 

[vivftp]

Got Astro Bot pre-ordered and ready to go

Also damned excited to see what's next for SIEs live service initiative.

[gothmog]

I'm in.

 

[HRK69]

 

[sncvsrtoip]

no vr mode (even simplest one like ue injection type) no buy

 

[Hugare]

I admire your commitment, but I'm not paying $60 just to send a message to a multibillion-dollar company telling it to get its shit together.

Game seems really fun, but $60 for 10 hours of playtime, eh ...

I'll get it later on

 

[Bry0]

I don't want Astrobot, I want to shoot helghen in the face and then play socom.

 

[Heisenberg007]

 

[R6Rider]

Already payed for. Picking up tomorrow on my lunch break.

 

[Quezacolt]

Did my part. Will be delivered tomorrow, can't wait.

If that's the criteria, why wouldn't a company instead make a heavily monetized, not-so-fun, free-to-play game that would require 100s of hours of gameplay grinding?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I preordered the digital deluxe version the day preorders went live.
I knew it would be polished greatness.

 

[Coherenthy]

Already bought mine.

Was planning to get the standard edition but got the Digital Deluxe edition instead since I really enjoyed Astro's Playroom.

Dunno, man. Just telling you my pov as a customer. I'm only worried about my interests.

 

[Gaiff]

The timing of this game couldn't be more perfect. Takes a lot of heat off Sony caused by that game that shall not be named.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I don't support soulless brand products.

 

[Heisenberg007]

 

[Heisenberg007]

I don't support soulless brand products.

You are not a PlayStation fan/gamer then. This thread isn't for you.

 

[Matt_Fox]

Delight has become a rare commodity... in the 80s and 90s games used to be filled with it. It hasn't been prioritised for the last couple decades, and in many cases its been actively avoided.

Astrobot is bringing the delight back, and I cant wait to smile my way through it!

 

[Dacvak]

Forget PlayStation fans, VIDEO GAME fans should buy this game to send the whole industry the message.

I'm the biggest Mario fanboy I know, and I could not be more excited and thrilled about this game. Fuuuuuuck this is gonna be a long 12 hours

 

[Bond007]

Gonna have to agree.
These are not the only games i want Sony to focus on of course- but its nice to have this sort of thing back.
Id love some Mark of Kri, Sly Cooper and obviously alot of other older IPs to return.

Will def purchase Astrobot.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[Represent.]

AND Space Marine 2

Don't forget about that, it's arguably even more important. Publishers need to know not every AAA game needs to be an open world fetch quest.

 

[calistan]

So the money is in Mario rip-offs and mascots. I think they already tried that before, but I'm all in for Super Astro Bot Kart, as soon as that gets the green light.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Just checked to see how much it cost, since I'll get a refund for Concord.

Would've bought it at €40, but €70 is too high for this sort of game, imo.

 

[Kokoloko85]

I hope this brings back Jak n Daxter and Sly Cooper. Along with Ratchet and Astro thats 4 Platformers they could release 1 every 12-18 months. Plenty of times for smaller teams to make these games.
But I like MP games, Sony has been making them since forever unless you just joined mid PS3 generation, thats not the message Im sending

 

[AV]

Coming via Amazon tomorrow, taken the afternoon off work so really hoping the bastard thing doesn't arrive at like 8pm.

 

[foamdino]

Pre-ordered physical as soon as it went up on amazon - waiting on delivery <taps fingers on desk/>

 

[Sooner]

I've never understood this mantra. I buy the things I want. Voting with your wallet is an automatic thing, unless you're stealing the things you want.

I'm definitely picking up Astrobot.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

So that my kids take over my Ps5!?

Hell Naw, I'm not supporting this game!
OP is trying to set parents up for failure!

My kids don't know Astro bot exist and I will protect their innocents for as long as I can!

Protect your PS5's and don't support this god like platforming game before it too late!

 

[Bernardougf]

I wont pre order it goes against everything I believe right now.. but give me good reports on the perfomance and Im in

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Done, though going to try and wait for the pro to play it, if I can hold off that long

 

[ricares81]

Done, ordered mine a bit back and I'm ready for it. Are you?

 

[phant0m]

I don't want Astrobot, I want to shoot helghen in the face and then play socom.

 

[ssringo]

I'm doing my part too!

Unfortunately they've shitcanned or ignored everything they used to release that I actually like (no, that does not include the recently shitcanned Concord). So that means I'm not buying their games anymore which includes Astrobot. But I'm sure they'll get along just fine without me!

 

[ItJustWorks]

I mean like....this isn't the title I really care about or want from Sony though lol

I want more creativity and ambitious boundary pushing stuff that we used to get regularly in the ps2 to ps3/360 era often.

If astrobot came out in 2007, where we got in the *same year*:

Half life 2 ep 2
God of war 2
Super mario galaxy
Bioshock
Mass effect
Uncharted
Portal
The witcher
Team fortress
persona 3
assassins creed
Halo 3
Crysis
Stalker

Then we wouldn't give a shit about astrobot that much lol speaks to how much we had to lower our standards over time that we are now "voting with our wallets" for....Astro bot Lol

No, fuck that. You bought Concord and need to redeem yourself. Buy Astro Bot.

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

Did my part! Concord comes in tomorrow

 

[RoadHazard]

Don't get your panties all bunched up, I'm buying it okay!

 

[Killjoy-NL]

No, fuck that. You bought Concord and need to redeem yourself. Buy Astro Bot.

I bought Concord to try the beta, not because of the game itself, so I dont even count it.

I might buy Astro Bot on sale though. I did enjoy Astro's Playroom.

 

[mdkirby]

Sure, I'll grab it tonight.

 

[Portugeezer]

I voted by not buying concord.

Goodnight.

Notice how the only Platformers on that list are mario galaxy and (arguably) Assassin's Creed.

Non Nintendo AAA platformers have been dead for 2 decades. This is the chance to revive them. If you are not interested you never cared about the genre that much
