It's been said from others with this video going around, but one part I appreciate about it is that it feels like Spider-man, Uncharted, Watch Dogs, Cyberpunk, and others, but it's not roasting one game in particular. It's literally what it says on the tin: Western AAA.

I liked that, it would be a day one buy for me.

But yes with Astro-bot you don't really need any Nintendo Mario on PS5. It's so good.

I'm glad that many people enjoyed Astro Bot a lot, but personally I didn't get close to getting a "Mario fix" with that game, sadly.

Its a funny vid but people really do think all sony games are the last of us huh...

While I feel their output lately has been rather lackluster, most are open world games with filler

Serious talk: I really wonder why some third party developer couldn't just pick up the movie licensed for Super Mario Galaxy: The Movie and just make a multi-platform game out of it. I have a feeling that Nintendo might have first dibs on a licensed movie game. But I get the impression that they have no interested in making a tie-in game based on any of the new Mario movie's.

What's stopping Sony Computer Entertainment, UBI Soft or some other publisher from just picking up the movie license from the upcoming Mario Movie? release it multi-platform, and based everything directly on the movie cannon. What if Activision picked up the movie license rights? Or Rare under Microsoft? It would technically be base don the movie IP and not the game IP.

Yeah I know Nintendo owns the game character but what if we made a game, based on the movie character, based on the game?

There's youtube videos out there showing how Astro Bot copies entire levels, sections, game mechanics from different Mario games. But the devs got away with it calling it an homage, or inspiration.

Surprised Nintendo didn't do anything.

Pissed that Sony made a better Mario game than Nintendo?
