Astro Bot impresses hugely in an early hands-on demo - here's why we fell in love with this hugely creative Sony platformer.
Plus, a guide on how to find the first Special Bot, Lady Maria.
With upcoming PS5-exclusive releases pretty sparse, Astro Bot is exactly what the console needs right now.
My most wanted game, it looks phenomenal and takes me back to the good years of gaming.
Getting this day one. It looks amazing, just like Astro's Playroom but this time longer and better
The upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive, Astro Bot, file size was revealed through a retail box cover, indicating that it will be a huge game.
A mighty chunk. Hope this game's a good 12 - 14 hours at least. Might be one of the funnest platinums to get in a while. Day 1 for me and millions of others I bet as well.
As platinum of astro bot is so easy and not fun for a confirmed player.. i went for it because i was missing like 2-3 artifacts and a weird trophy with a rabbit after i finished the game.
I hope the game will be a little more challenging.
Day one nonetheless
Ya, should start off easy/medium difficulty and slowly ramp up from there to fairly challenging, ideally.
I couldn’t agree more. I honestly don’t get why everyone is excited for this game. The first one was extremely basic and way too easy. As a glorified presentation of jthw dual sense controller, it was fine I guess. But as a full blown game? It was so forgettable.
I think the Mario formula is the way to go:
The main game can be pretty chill with some exceptional challenges for those who want to engage with it and go for the platinum.
It's such a great approach.
" Astro Bot will require approximately 66 GB"
By helicoptergirl logic modern warfare 3 had a 20hr campaign then
This is not on 7th gen consoles file size means nothing this gen
Japanese games like resident evil, all soulsborne games, and the evil within, and many others seem to fix large scale games into less than 50gb.
I'm kind of sad this is the ONLY major exclusive coming out this holiday season for PlayStation. So I hope it's S-tier.
Curious to see what that interprets to in terms of length. Cuz there’s a lot of really cool physics simulations in the game, not sure if those are something that would take up much space or not. Either way I’m stoked. They’re going to release free challenge levels after launch as well.
Physics simulations aren’t assets they’re calculations and algorithms therefore they take practically no space whatsoever.
The size content will be the same as any other game mostly raw sound files. The rest, mainly hi res textures.
Ok cool. I genuinely wasn’t sure, makes sense though. Thanks. So seems to imply it will be sizable then, that’s good.
'A game of the year contender.'
Just watching John's facial reactions, and the tone in his voice... you can tell it's genuine. This game is gonna be the biggest hit of the year. Can't wait.
I really wanna click and watch. But damn, I don't wanna see anything more.
Already pre-ordered.
Whoever was the initiator of conceptualizing Astro Bot and the game design of paying tribute to all the Playstation memories, I hope this person received a nice check.
Playstation really has never been able to create a mascot likeable as Zelda, Mario, Luigi or Kirby.
But with Astro Bot I gotta say they've finally gotten closer. Not on the same level yet, no doubt about it, but very, very likeable as well.
Tell me it looks like Mario but better without telling me it looks like Mario but better
This is what gaming passion looks like.
