Astro Bot |OT| Robot in disguises

I enabled the ability to move the camera quickly via the 0 button. Surprised that wasn't by default. Couldn't deal with using the right stick to move it when I wanted to look directly forward.

It's in options - camera settings.

I'm playing this, I've already got Snake's astro bots, Psycho Mantis and Gray Fox. I'm in love with this game, we have a strong candidate for GOTY here
 
So, am I the only one with a blank "bonus contents" code in my retail copy? Bought from GameStop in Canada.

I just want the avatars.

This is already something special.

You young fucks better realize something like this only comes about like every 15-20 years.
 
Game of the generation.

Is there somewhere I can find a list of the references, because I'm not sure which characters are like homages to other games and which aren't - such as the big King Kong boss and the alien? Are these from older Sony titles?

No, those bosses are original characters that first appeared in Astro Bot Rescue Mission (if you don't have a PSVR, I would still recommend watching some gameplay).

Best platformer since Super Mario Galaxy 2 and one of the best games I've ever played. With all due respect to Elden Ring and Breath of The Wild, this is the game of the generation.

You mean Tears of the Kingdom?

Says a lot when just everyspeak gets them mixed up 😂

Should've really differentiated itself but alas 😂

Either or. As long we're in agreement they're both 9th gen games. Tears did nothing for me though.

Botw released on the WiiU like a few months before Switch.

After the first few hours of this game, I'm loving it, but I also feel like maybe a platformer can't be the only game I'm playing. After about 4ish levels or so I wanna play something else for a bit. Like this will be my 20s something side bitch. Ha!

Pretty sure it released same day as the Switch version. At least it did in the US.

Just played the opening hour. The game looks awesome. I like that there's tons of little physics objects and when you run through them they make cool sound effects. Sounds great in the Pulse3D headset.
 
So finally got through the first boss. Gotta say this game is pure amazing fun. Is it easy yea but I don't care. I'm old. It's fun and has me smiling the entire time playing it. The homages to other franchises and companies even and to playstation's past are so good. You can tell it was made with love. Without a doubt so far it's in my list for GOTY.
 
Costco has this for $53... thinking about pulling the trigger. Seems like this game is a hit.
 
I already made it to over 200 bots (started to play at Friday midnight local time). There's soooo much I want to gush about, but I guess I must wait for the rest of you to catch up. Needless to say, the game is fucking fantastic. The last "parody of/tribute to a game" stage, whatever you think about the franchise is irrelevant, what Team Asobi did with the remix of the main theme is just incredible. The OST is pure fire.
 
49 bots saved. I was trying to get 50 before bed but Im worn out. That was a lot in one sitting.
I beat the first big boss, took me a few tries. I think Ive found most of the bots puzzles and warps in this first Galaxy.
I used the flower radar thing before I noticed it had a cost. Is that considered wimping out?
 
loving the game only regret is that you seem to have endless lives. Which takes some of the risk or challenge from the game. would have like number of lives kinda like Mario has but its their first game and they want to make it accessible to everyone I guess.

This game is pure joy. Having lives or an on-screen UI would get in the way.

Also, punching the rescued bots on the island is hilarious. They do some pretty funny stuff. Snake? 😂😂😂
 
I wish I was playing instead of comming to work! When I left home I was at the GOW level, this game is my GOTY! Pure joy to play , I think I'll actually be sad when the credits roll.
 
Did you all notice there are unique idle animations depending on the stage "theme"? Another fantastic detail to a game already packed to high heaven with charm 👌
 
Ok Downsize Surprise is a masterpiece of Game design.. Wow. The game already was 10/10 but that level is legit 11/10. Nintendo needs to keep an eye on this for the next major 3D Mario

My favorite little detail BY FAR is in the ending of the game, I will tell you once you're done, lol.

Downsize Surprise is truly THE fan favorite one right now. Apes on the Loose is right up there as well.
 
I thought it was all very easy too. Then I unlocked the circle and triangle stages.

The game is awesome, btw. My daughter, who is a bit too young to properly play it, even enjoys watching it a lot. She also loves tossing the bots around with the controller every time i save one.

I also like the robot bird. Instead of endlessly replaying levels to find the one thing you missed, it's fun to redo them like this.

Not only it pays tribute to Classic games attached to Sony in some way, but it also references in some way games like Minecraft and Pikmin it is wonderful.

I'ts unbelievable, annoying and frustrating that even a billion dollar company like Sony with their high-end AAA studios full of artists, programmers and technicians can't get a simple black level setting right in their huge multi year projects. And this happens again and again. It can't be this hard!
