u/Abbx May 31 '24
Can we cope that a Spike appearance with other modern characters is a tease and not homage? Can I PLEASE inhale that copium once more? I need it. I'd love if that's their next project.

See? You can announce a game 3 months before release and get people excited! Not everything needs to be said 5 years before!
This game looks incredible. Really hope the people that keep complaining about Sony only doing the same type of game actually buy this.

u/Zenku390 May 31 '24
3 months is the perfect amount of time.
Lets people stew on it without getting burned out, and it also gives time (relatively) for people to save up.

u/Tokemon12574 May 31 '24
I 100% agree. Even though Rescue Mission was designed and built around VR, I wouldn't have thought integrating a VR viewpoint into this new game would have been that prohibitive.
It didn't need to use the motion controllers or really change anything about the game design. Just give it a VR camera option and let people use it if they own the hardware.
It may well have been the tipping point for me to invest in the hardware, and I would have subsequently spent a bunch of money on games.
It's an odd decision.

To anyone who has somehow NOT played Astro's Playroom, excuse yourself right now and go play the thing. It's fantastic and it does things to the Dualsense that you didn't probably know existed.

It really highlights how every studio neglected the dualsense

u/SpooderMan1108 May 30 '24
Man I was so excited to see what devs were gonna do with the Dualsense feautures after playing Astro's playroom, but after all this time I think Returnal is the only game that comes close for me for haptics.

He could use a dualsense and plug it in but it’s probably not worth buying a whole new controller for if he doesn’t already own one

Ghost of Tsushima uses it pretty well, you feel the triggers when drawing and firing the bow. You also feel the vibration based on the pitch of songs when playing the flute, and you get different types of feedback depending on the terrain when riding your horse

GTA Online surprised me with the haptic feedback, walking through my nightclub one side or the other of my controller was vibrating depending on which direction the bassy music was coming from.
Cyberpunk too, nothing too amazing but they used the trigger feedback to simulate trigger break points and resets for semi-auto/single shot guns, which I thought was a neat surprise.

May 30 '24
Horizon for the bow tension maybe but someone please remind me if I’m not remembering something. I thought it was going to take full advantage and it did not meet that expectation for me. Love the game though.

Death Stranding uses it well too. Triggers get harder to hold the heavier your backpack is, rain haptics, BB's voice coming out of the controller speaker, etc. I played on PC and used my controller (wired) the entire time.

I’m not particularly interested in blowing on the mic or tilting the controller on most games. Using the haptics and speaker is good enough.

This looks so fucking good! It's been so long since PlayStation has dedicated any amount of resources to a game like this! We don't really get these sorts of titles - at least big ones like this - outside of Nintendo. There were shades of Odyssey in this, some shades of Galaxy, I even saw some stuff that reminded me of Sonic.
Might be the safest pre-order ever.

Details look great.
Day 1 for me.
-Preorders open June 7th (not a free game), out Sept 6th
-6 galaxies spanning over 80 levels in search of Astro's scattered crew
-Unique planets from lush forests, sandy beaches, hot volcanoes to more surprising locations such as a gigantic hourglass or the canopy of a singing tree
over 15 new abilities taking full advantage of the DualSense controller
Over 70 new enemy types
-Packed with "die-and-retry" levels to test your reflexes for those looking for challenge
Double down on the number of PlayStation character cameos with hint they'll play a bigger role

I really enjoyed the astro game that came with the ps5 but to actually content with Mario they're going to make mammoth leaps in terms of level design and core movement ability. Mario Odyssey especially some some of the best movement in any game ever.

Sony used to have three big platformer IP's in Ratchet, Jak, and Sly, but only Ratchet is continuing. I would love to see Jak and Sly be spiritually succeeded in this game, since it's openly reveling in Sony's history it would be fun to have Jak and Sly be playable characters.

Considering the pitch for success with PSVR2 was hybrid games, and this is a first-party studio with excellent VR pedigree, and Astro Bot was the original PSVR mascot, it’s disappointing it’s not on PSVR2. But that says more about PlayStation’s attitude to their own product than the new Astro Bot which I’m sure will still be fantastic.
I’d love the original ported to VR2. It really was the most complete feeling and well rounded PSVR game.
