Astro Bot was finally unveiled at May’s State of Play, and the soulful platformer immediately made its way onto Aaron Down's PS5 wishlist.
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.
"As the Astro Bot trailer begins, I’m immediately reminded why I was so unphased by Astro’s Playroom, as the adorable lil homie is greeted by a floating PlayStation controller. This veneer of indifference is quickly dispelled, though, as it quickly transforms into a jet plane – ‘huh, okay, that’s kinda neat,’ I thought to myself. From there, for the rest of the three-minute trailer, my jaw refused to retract itself from the floor as I gobbled up virtual dopamine like orbs in a game of Snake."
This is a fun read
Doing a replay of astros playroom and it is still fun and charming. Love the nods to other series.
I actually never finished Astros Playroom, while the game was fine I wished it was in vr, I should redownload and finish before the new release.
People ignoring Astro's Playroom need to go back and actually play the dang thing! Its short, sweet, memorable, AND ITS FREE! PLAY IT IF YOU HAVEN'T YET!
Can't wait... I also want another VR one too though... my PSVR2 needs some actions -_-
