Absolute facts, it's probably still the most "impressive" PS5 game.

Rescue Mission wouldn't be what it was (read: the god damn shit) without VR. It is easily the best VR experience I've had, and one of the greatest platform games I've ever played. But.
PSVR2 was sent to die, and the Astro Bot series thus far deserves better. Designing a new Astro Bot solely around VR would no doubt make for a better game, but no fucking body would play it.
That's basically what Rescue Mission was. It was glorious.

Make it VR. Astrobot Rescue Mission is such a great game!

I know this is a reductive take but if people want to play a game and it's on a certain platform they don't have, they should just buy the hardware. Games are the reason we buy hardware, system sellers as we used to call them.

Normally I would agree. Because almost any piece of gaming hardware is at some point going to offer good value and a solid library, but I don't feel confident about PSVR2's future.

Sony don't consider astrobot a big game?
Games awesome
An executive doesn't think any game is big until it sells over 10 million copies. It's big to us though.

If it's VR only, nobody will care
Don't fuck this one up Sony, you had something good going with non-VR Astrobot

I mean I will buy a damn PS5 and a PSVR2 if they come out with a new Astrobot VR for it (and the word is that it's a worthy successor to the last VR outing). That game completely blew me away and honestly changed a lot of what I thought about gaming.
People that still haven't experienced it, absolutely need to. It is so strong all the way through, but I will say this - especially in the later stages, that game truly becomes on fire!

Media Molecule need to take note, it can’t be all level creation, an SP mode should always come first.

It isn't. It was cool to see it use the features of the controller but since then, woop, nothing.

They are talking about tentpoles equivalents. “Major”, like GOW, TLoU, Horizon, Spiderman, GoT.
Wouldn’t be surprised that they don’t count Ratchet and Clank, Astrobot, Until Dawn, Ape Escape, etc.
