I'd love for it to be a VR2 title, or at least be playable with VR2 like how some games offer hybrid modes.

Babadook745d ago

Yes.

I think it’s going to be VR and of course it’s going to be phenomenal in VR. Perhaps it will be flat screen also.

Cacabunga45d ago

Didn’t they close Japan studio??

Abear2144d ago

Yup, it should be available on both or just have a smaller VR level or two. If the whole game is playable in VR, now we are entering a new era, would love to see this and more of it.

Babadook744d ago (Edited 44d ago )

@Caca

They expanded Asobi who made Astrobot but they closed the rest of Japan Studio.

Cacabunga44d ago

Baba

I didn’t know that.. thanks for this! Asobi is a brilliant studio!

Honestly, the one that was free with the PS5 was like one of the best platforming experiences I've had in a long time. I wouldn't mind seeing another one

P_Bomb45d ago

Got both Astro games for free, enjoyed them thoroughly. I’d be down for a purchase.

Please be a full fledged PS5 game!

toxic-inferno44d ago

It sounds like that's what we can expect. I'm hoping for something more akin to Super Mario Odyssey, but we'll have to wait and see!

purple10144d ago

is your name from ghost of tushima? jin Sakai, ?? what name did you give your horse, mines called 'Sora'

Jin_Sakai44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

Yes it is. I honestly can’t remember. I think it was Sora or Kage.

My most wanted game, it looks phenomenal and takes me back to the good years of gaming.

Relientk7710d ago

Getting this day one. It looks amazing, just like Astro's Playroom but this time longer and better

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.

Cacabunga10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

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

Number1TailzFan10d ago

Ya, should start off easy/medium difficulty and slowly ramp up from there to fairly challenging, ideally.

MASTER_RAIDEN10d ago

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.

DarXyde10d ago

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.

NotoriousWhiz10d ago

Millions...... and millions.....

just_looken10d ago

" 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

Hypertension14010d ago

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.

Stanlittle10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

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.

1nsomniac10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

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.

Psychonaut859d ago

Ok cool. I genuinely wasn’t sure, makes sense though. Thanks. So seems to imply it will be sizable then, that’s good.

rlow110d ago

This game not only looks fantastic but will play fantastic. Worth every gig!

Gaming4Life198110d ago

Looks like good fun, definitely picking this up day one.
