If I had a playstation still, I'd be all over this game, loved the built in game, just makes me think of times when Sony was putting out games I loved like ape escape

 

[Punished Miku]

Geez, looks better than I expected with the water effects. Pretty cool.

They did the right thing making it non VR. So everybody can play it.

 

[itshutton]

I think Sony did such a good job bundling these games to showcase the quality of the Astro Bot franchise. They built the reputation of Asobi so well and now will reap the rewards.

 

[Markio128]

Woah, the boss fight took an unexpected turn.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

They did the right thing making it non VR. So everybody can play it.

At the expense of not making a better game. For VR users it's a bittersweet feeling.

 

[Danjin44]

The ONLY Sony first party game worth getting excited for.

 

[protonion]

This is Mario Galaxy level of quality and polish.

Easy goty contender.

 

[Physiognomonics]

The only Sony game I am currently interested in.

 

[Diddy X]

Huge Mario Ripoff

You mean rip off of Mario Galaxy.

 

[Luipadre]

You mean rip off of Mario Galaxy.

Every game is a ripoff of another game. Who cares if the quality is this high

 

[ultrazilla]

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

Now...that was a bossfight
I would buy this game day one....but now i preorder it...Cant wait

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

How refreshing. An actual video game from Sony with fun gameplay. Unfortunately, this game is going to sell like shit because Sony have conditioned Playstation owners into thinking that any game that's not a cinematic third person movie game with double-chin female npc's and photo-realistic toilets is not worth your time. The damage is done and Sony execs should be sentenced for war crimes.

 

[killatopak]

I think I heard a yahoo from it.

mario rip off confirmed.

 

[SimTourist]

Eh

 

[Terenty]

Yep, looks like a game, which is unexpected coming from Soyny

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

The first Sony game I have been excited for in quite awhile honestly

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

Huge Mario Ripoff

In an ideal world the inspiration wouldn't be so evident but this looks so good and there are so few games like the Galaxy titles that tbh, I don't even care.

All I need to know is how smooth and responsive are the controls and if they're pinnacle, it's mine.

Slippery or janky? No Bueno for platformers.

 

[GymWolf]

Oh boy, the Ninties are out of their cages once again

Try the astro demo on ps5, gameplay should be the exact same (i think)

 

[Hypereides]

That multi-stage boss fight was awesome. I guess, Sony still got "it" if they want to. I hope this can lead to a new pure Ape escape.

 

[Bartski]

Cute. So now instead of char cameos we're talking full homage levels?

 

[Fafalada]

All I need to know is how smooth and responsive are the controls and if they're pinnacle, it's mine.

This is the third(4th) game in the IP and they all had very tight controls to date There's a reason most of us wanted more.

Speaking of, I wonder if we get 120fps more this time.

 

[Madserb2023]

Looks like a Nintendo game. Reminds me of Mario Galaxy.

 

[Heisenberg007]

My God, those water effects! This looks like a technical marvel, boxed in pure adulterated fun!

Can't wait.

 

[Diddy X]

 

[Boss Mog]

They did the right thing making it non VR. So everybody can play it.

They could've done both though, maybe they still will, I can see them waiting to add VR so they can release it sooner and then adding it down the line.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Astro Bot is cool as a free tech demo.
But I can see why people like it.

Probably a lot of overlap between those looking forward to this and those that voted for Nintendo in that thread about who had the best library.

 

[Hudo]

The only Sony game I am currently interested in. Since Nintendo are taking their sweet time with the next 3D Mario, might as well play this game in the meantime.

 

[Robb]

Mario Galaxy vibes all over, looks like so much fun!

 

[VeganElduderino]

This is pure joy! Looks so good , I can already tell this is the game that will define the ps5 for me! Just like playroom.

 

[blastprocessor]

I was having a flash back of the 10 commandments there.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Shit looks fun and the demo game was rock solid in terms of mechanics and level design.

 

[Magic Carpet]

ChinaJoy gets all the fun.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Oh boy, the Ninties are out of their cages once again

Ninties gonna Nint.

 

[tTHANOSs]

I stopped watching when the boss fight started. Don't want to spoil it for myself.

 

[amigastar]

Give it to me on PC, please.

 

[KXVXII9X]

That multi-stage boss fight was awesome. I guess, Sony still got "it" if they want to. I hope this can lead to a new pure Ape escape.

It pains me how Sony cut the rest of Japan Studios because games like these seemed were more common. I'm glad Team Asobi is showing the Sony just how valuable these games are.

 

[Balducci30]

This looks amazing

 

[Unknown?]

You mean rip off of Mario Galaxy.

That's okay Mario Galaxy ripped off Ratchet and Clank 2.

 

[Dacvak]

Oh my goodness this looks absolutely phenomenal. I love how there was no HUD at all, especially during the boss fight.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

You mean rip off of Mario Galaxy.

I'm on team #SoullessRipoff as well.
