I want people to really understand something.....
Astro Bot (VR) Rescue Mission is quite possibly the best platformer since Mario 64 and it is possibly better than it.
As in....the best platformer ever made.
No one cares if you like VR or not, but this is absolutely crushing to those who do.
This is the equivalent of them making Bloodborne 2 a Quest 3 exclusive. Take that in.
Yes, we all understand why it's not VR only, but that doesn't change how fucking disappointing this is.
Dont get it twisted, this is going to be an absolutely an amazing game and possibly the GOTY for 2024, but as good as that is.....it would have been better in VR (with VR being at the core of the mechanics) and we all know this.
You don't understand, because you just don't know.
I'm buying it 100% and this will probably be my GOTY, but I can't pretend I'm not extremely disappointed by this and that fucking sucks.

Best game of the show imo - playroom was amazing. I enjoyed it more than Mario odyssey

I just finished Playroom pretty recently... shocked how good through and through the game was, even though it felt like it was actively trying to get me to buy more official Sony Playstation™ products and peripherals.
So 1 year ago, I would not really care about this. But now, definitely interested. Will for sure be jumping back in.

Sony better advertise the heck out of this game. I'm talking commercials everywhere and Astro McDonald's happy meal toys.

Just a reminder, so far this gen Sony has given us 4 of these types of platformers, all of which have been great IMO!
Astro Playroom
Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart
And next up the newest AstroBot
Hopefully they sell well enough and Sony Keeps the Colorful platformers a commin! Love these types of games so much!

We've all been playing games enough to deduce that the PS5 here has been broken, is missing it's wings, and has to be restored to it's full spaceship glory as seen with the PS Hardware fleet later in the trailer.

Dont forget Sony has a patent that will allow multiple users to share one controllers input. Like a student driver car with two streering wheels. Maybe you can secretly play along without them noticing....
Oh shit! That is something I will DEFINITELY take advantage of!

PS5 Pro secret launch title anyone? It was an amazing trailer, so glad Team Asobi got the chance to do a full game. Sad about seemingly no PSVR2 mode. It looks like the cameo characters are more important now rather than just references. It feels weird that they continue with the theme of Playstation gadgets and consoles, makes it feel like a demo rather than a full game. I wonder how they will explain it in game.

VR does add the immersion factor which is really amazing, but there's no reason this can't be equally as good (but different).
Be thankful we got a big VR title when we did. It's an absolute fucking shame they won't port the original over to PSVR2
Making this a PS5 title will allow the studio to capture great sales and keep them growing, which may lead to more VR stuff in the future. This is only a good thing and an obvious choice.

Astro Bot is more marketable than Sackboy. I wonder if they have the balls to put considerable marketing money into it.
I think that’s Horizon Ray Traced Lego. Probably announcement this summer.
It’s supposed to be like “Wreck it Ralph”/“Space Jam”. The game characters and hardware are sentient.

No PSVR2 support?!!
No reason releasing it on a VR system that sold eight copies total
People have been pining for Astro on a straight PS console for years. It’s about time.
Pining.
Resident Evil 4 gives you the option to play it in VR so why can't this?

I wish Sony would learned having Japanese first party games would make their selection that much more interesting.....These are type of games got me in Playstation in the first place.

First game ever I’m going to pre order. Exactly what I wanted. No female bot as a main sidekick shoveled in, seems simply fun.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
Glad it's coming out soon. My whole family loves Astro's Playroom and it still gets played so we'll be picking this up right away.
No it's, Sony the ones who made PSVR2.

Where else you seeing the positive attention?

NaughtyDog Defense Force
I should say a positive reaction.
I'm seeing it mainly on Twitter.
A good amount of likes on twitter.
Even the YouTube comment section is very positive.

They can make a VR version in tandem with this one. That's what 8 would do.

80 levels @ 15-20 mins each is a 20-25 hour game
The trailer looked spoilery as hell but we probably only scratched the surface

Sure, if you want the game to die and Asobi to get closed.

Yep I know some Nintendo fans who are crazy for Astro Bot too, they say its EAD quality.
I played both VR and the PS5 game and I like it a ton. I prefer non-VR probably.

I see they’ve finally worked out how to copy Nintendo‘s art style. If you replaced the bot with Mario it would look exactly like a Nintendo game.
