Cdkeys has astro digital code for 35 bucks.

Thanks, picked it up.

Cdkeys has astro digital code for 35 bucks. I never got to it. Now that it's been out a while .. worth it?

It's the best 3D platformer of this generation, so if you enjoy those, yes.

Astrobot is the goat

Straight FIRE!!!

 

[DeepEnigma]

The gift that keeps on giving.

 

[StueyDuck]

There is a lot of speculation but nobody knows what the change is yet.

watch it be a slightly different shade of blue hahaha

Thanks, picked it up.

You not going to be dissapointed. The game is amazing.

His eyes are a different shape. That's a slight twist. It's just an excuse to sell more of these without being the exact same.

I wouldn't call that a "twist" but it could be a language barrier thing.

In English a twist isn't usually something significant. Very similar with a minor adjustment. And from memory they showed an astrobot controller which was slightly different to the last one with different eyes.

This game is becoming similar to CP2077. No point in buying it right now when I can get it cheaper down the road with way more content. My sons obsessed with Lego Star wars right now but once he beats it maybe I'll pick it up.

I'd disagree. A twist is something unexpected/unusual. That can be significant.

Eg. The twists M. night does in his movies, these aren't minor additions to the film, they have large significant impacts to the story.

Astro Bot is the gift that keeps on giving! I'm definitely grabbing that controller.

A dev supporting a game, and not expecting you to fork over more money.

There is hope.

So what is that controller that looks the same except the eyes? Why wouldn't they just show the old one then.

 

[kapshin]

coming soon

It could be a hint.
Check out the previews, some are expecting the twist to be revealed in future.

Interestingly, it was also confirmed that the Astro Bot DualSense controller is also returning to stores with a different twist on the touchpad although it wasn't said that that would be so we'll keep you posted.

Looking at the Blog, it states the same thing.

And since the first controller proved so popular, we have brought it back with a new joyful twist to the touch pad! We'll have more information to share soon, so be on the lookout for future updates.

I hope you're right. An interactive touch pad that changes colour while playing would be amazing

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Cool! I'm like halfway through Astro Bot, taking my time with it. The new levels should line up with my playthrough.

 

[Fafalada]

Touch pad being an LCD always seemed like a low-hanging fruit to make this really shine - but I doubt they'd add that to a regular DS...
Not that I wouldn't buy Astro themed Edge - heck I'd buy two if they had an LCD

Probably a long shot, but fingers crossed anyway.

Definitely %100 worth it. Incredible game.

 

[Paulxo87]

Definitely %100 worth it. Incredible game.

I ended up getting it tonight. Looks incredible on the pro. Beat the first planet - great game

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Still the best game Sony's put out this gen (not that that's saying much)
