Sweet!!

Enjoyed Astro's Playroom a lot so I'm really looking forward to a full fledged non-VR Astro Bot game from Team Asobi.

 

[Nankatsu]

The GOAT is back!

 

[Blindy]

Great news, Astro's Playroom was fantastic. I can't wait to see how funky they get with the haptic feedback on the controller.

[Švejk]

Don't play with my emotions!

 

[Calverz]

Hopefully true. Astro bot was great.

 

[Punished Miku]

Probably their Summer Games Fest game then. If it's a non-VR game I'll definitely be interested. Close to zero AAA 3D platformers out there.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Needs to be on PC and in VR.

 

[fart town usa]

Please give us an option to play the full game in VR.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Watch this be the best PS5 first party game released so far….

 

[DenchDeckard]

I hope it's in vr. Bur being it to pc.....

But, this game could make me buy a heavily discounted psvr2

 

[Fbh]

Hopefully VR is optional but it can also be played on a regular screen.
If they can build on the fun and creative gameplay and levels of Astro's Playroom in a larger scale project it should be amazing

 

[U n i o n 0015]

The little demo game on PS5 was absolutely awesome...I know it's super PS-hardware focused but I would love to see that on PC alongside this next game that they're developing.

 

[OverHeat]

Yes yes yes.gif

Would easily be a GOTY-calibre release, at the very least. Really hoping this comes to fruition!

I’m hoping it’s not a 4 hour game

They’ve had 4.5 years to make it

I want a full up 20+ hour platformer

 

[StereoVsn]

One of the few games where I can safely say “Day 1”.

 

[Dazraell]

Finally. Astro Bot's game on PS5 was a treat, hope the next one will continue this trend

 

[colon]

Looking forward to this, but I'd be lying if I said it not being VR knocked my hype level down a few notches.

 

[BennyBlanco]

The tech demo was great. A full game in that same style would be day 1 for me.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

>not VR

I'd be happy with like... a 12-ish hour story, but lots of post-game and secrets to find and such that can stretch that out longer.

My boys will go bananas for it regardless. Exophase tells me Astro's Playroom has 176 hours of playtime on my PS5, lol. Only about 2.5 of that were from me.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Awesome, I loved Astro’s Playroom and so did my kids. Just hope this isn’t a VR game

 

[Luipadre]

Everybody is gonna love the announcement, but nobody is gonna buy the fucking game and they wont make games like this anymore

Look at poor sackboy

 

[geary]

Launch game for PS5 Pro

Yeah, I’m just hoping they have enough ideas and variety to fill a full sized game. What made Playroom so good was that every level had some fresh mechanics and it never overstayed its welcome.

I’m pre ordering this game day 1 to show my support

Sackboy kind of got….watered down after being passed around to other studios tbh….

 

[Fake]

Thats a IP I respect and support. No VR would be a huge win for me.

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

Day one.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Love the music in both the games.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

As great as the Haptic controller is, Astrobot is still the only game that fully utilized it, which is disappointing. That alone gets me excited

 

[XXL]

Most likely buying this either way, but this definitely needs to be a VR title.

I'm glad everyone loved Astro Bot on PS5 (as did I), but it honestly doesn't even come close to the greatness achieved with Astro Bot in VR.

If you don't know, you don't know.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

shut up!

 

[FeralEcho]

Good Shit,glad it's not VR. Astro's Playroom still is one of the best games on PS5 in my opinion.

 

[Represent.]

my 8 year old nephew will love this.

announce a real game cowards

 

[nial]

Shall it be the greatest game of mighty Japan this 2024.

Probably their Summer Games Fest game then. If it's a non-VR game I'll definitely be interested. Close to zero AAA 3D platformers out there.

Now that I think about it, it'll definitely be the platformer game with the biggest budget out there.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

I hope this is just a 30h long Astro Bot playroom version. No VR, no Story or cut scenes.

Let the worlds tell their stories in gameplay.

 

[Boss Mog]

PS5 or PSVR2 or Both?

 

[Topher]

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Love it

 

[kaizenkko]

Based on my experience with Astro's Playroom, i'm very excited.

 

[nial]

PS5 or PSVR2 or Both?

It's 100% TV-based, but it may be compatible with PSVR2 too.

 

[Markio128]

I hope the soundtrack is just as crazy as Astro’s Playroom. It has the most unique tracks I’ve heard in a game for a long time.

I always imagined a fully fledged Astrobot game using the worlds from some of the most famous Sony games - like GOW, Horizon, GT and Uncharted - each level based on a different PS game. That would be awesome.

I just hope the levels aren’t too cliche. The mention of a desert level doesn’t exactly sound inspiring.

 

[Elbereth]

My little ones…

 

[Bernardougf]

Finaly a good first party sequel for the ps5 .. lets go

 

[DonF]

awesome, as a ps5 user, Im starving.
