they're giving us a full game rather than a tech demo? hell yes

[@kyledcunningham]

Man the people must have an incredible urge to play a new Mario 64 style platformer as this game was terrible.

This music shouldn’t hit this hard

[@Custom26621]

The music hits hard but no PSVR2 support hits the hardest

The best exclusive is a free demo? Yikes

[@Koolstr]

This actually looks like an amazing game! Props to them on crafting a proper love letter to old-fashioned quality game design.

[@CasinoKenGamingArts]

Kratos: Astro... boy? Astrobot: No, Bot. Kratos: Boy. Astrobot: BOT! Kratos: BOOOOOOOYYY!!!

[@newageofmylife]

You forgot the part that makes this real, where kratos screams boy while pulling out his axe

astro boy is copyrighted

[@SuperCaleb360]

Finally a 3D platformer. Hope this leads to a Renaissance. Sly 5, Jak 4. Probably won't but one can hope

[@Tvdvidro]

Oh that would be heaven right there

[@raphsradio]

exactly. this comment is it.

[@ShenDoodles]

Don’t forget that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart exists

[@92JoseR]

Platformers need to make a comeback frfr.

[@dragoon2334]

Mostly hoping for a remastered Ape Escape Trilogy and then hopefully a fourth game

[@Koolstr]

This is essentially Sony's equivalent to Disney's Kingdom Hearts, with all of their exclusive IPs being referenced in a colorful & bombastic mashup title like this

[@theheroneededwillette6964]

Just wish it was actually them together instead of these robots in cosplay..

[@LeonardPospichal]

@@theheroneededwillette6964 Nah the robots are cute

[@themadhatter8961]

Wasnt this kinda like little big planet with the platforming and the other IP costumes

[@toy_bonnie]

That’s what little big planet was

[@Levi1cor16V14]

I'd say it's probably a bit closer to Disney Universe

[@Nath_0460]

They listened to their fans and gave us more 🥺

[@agtjackbauer]

They listen to their fans😂😂😂😂😂 You do understand the game originated in VR... V r community has been begging for this. And they don't give us a second thought. sony doesn't listen to anything. But their bank account. And some how people praise them for it😂🤣

[@Samuel2oh9]

Astro bot is def the next big thing for Sony

[@Mrgxv8]

Ehh wats?

[@RealMilester1]

Smartest Desicion Sony has ever made, this looks like its gonna be a Modern Classic. Sony finally has their own Mascott and its perfect. And Ubisoft just keeps ignoring the Demand for a Rayman game and pumps out 5 editions for one game

[@Philosophical24]

Sackboy 2077

[@jonSLAYR]

Oddly accurate

[@Iguanodon-fb7rs]

best comment

[@axjagfilms]

He is literally sackboy

[@codystarr4189]

Looks like Playstation just found their new mascot.

[@user-it2ux2me4h]

Astro isn't new btw he was first introduced on the psvr 1

[@4zun14n]

@@user-it2ux2me4h It was actually introduced with the PS4 camera in the Playroom augmented reality demo.

[@rubenlopez3364]

Nope hes from the Ps4 controller tutorial, it showed off the motion controls

[@axjagfilms]

He’s been here since like PS4

[@AyeGameBae]

Yeah, but nobody took to him. He's coming for the mascot crown tho.

[@ThatLumpiaHustla]

We're getting the best use of the DualSense in a full game?!?!

[@jordanhunter05]

This just looks like it has Little Big Planet energy. I'm happy this comes out this year.

[@Lukelearbomb]

Almost thought the intro was an easter egg to the beginning of Jak 3

[@Kodrex19]

True man

[@josueperez2790]

he is wearing a vr headset at 1:15

[@Custom26621]

But it’s the original

[@josueperez2790]

But STILL THE AUDACITY

[@CajunJ21]

Its probably gonna function kinda similar to the vanny mask.

[@jazzratoon]

This is pretty much Sony's attempt at their own version of Mario Odyssey with the charm of Little Big Planet. And I'm not disappointed.

[@MegaRayland]

You should have tried Astro Bot Rescue Mission on PSVR 1 back in the PS4 era. It was amazing and a better Mario game than Mario thanks to all the creativity and inspiration in how to utilize VR to be fully immersed in that world.

[@flannelsykes0]

He's the hero we need in our wait for the new Mario. Roll on September.

[@spacecommhafhiki]

Peak just got announced

[@NoExplosionsMcgee]

Hopefully Astro Bot keeps improving its ability to utilize DualSense's entire feature set. Astro's Playroom still remains one of the best games when it comes to using the controller's features.

[@vgman94]

I’m actually impressed. Takes a lot of inspiration from Nintendo franchises, but that’s not bad at all! Genuinely would love to play this.

[@krusifier]

Not to be that guy but this looks closer to crash and Spyro in terms of inspiration

[@sinchman1]

That because 4 EX Nintendo level design employees are behind this game one is from Splatoon, three are from Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine and Galaxy

[@naijaboygangsta]

​@@sinchman1wow that's awesome, shows Team asobi have hired talented devs

[@FunniEmi]

FINALLY PlayStation has a mascot. It was just a bunch of popular characters but now it’s focused on one little guy, and it’s the best choice ever

[@dairub1790]

Well sony had Crash as a Mascot. But yeah this new little guy is awesome.

[@Bulsara777]

@@dairub1790 They change the mascot each generation, PS1 was Crash, PS2 was Ratchet, PS3 was Sackboy, PS4 they tried with Knack but didn't work out so they stuck with Sackboy, and now it's Astro.

[@dragondelsur5156]

​@@Bulsara777 It's not like they wanted to change mascot, Crash went away because they never owned him.

[@rus.t]

PaRappa, Ico & Wander are present. Japan Studio represent!

[@FoxtagtheFox]

Somehow, This makes me more excited than that overwatch clone.

[@ToastInteractive]

It looks absolutely incredible! Astro Bot: Rescue Mission on PSVR blew our minds and was our inspiration behind making our very own VR platformer: Max Mustard. Even though this new title isn't headed to PSVR2, we hope to help fill the void for anyone wanting another charming VR platformer! 😄

[@jaysmith9933]

Currently playing Max Mustard on my Quest atm, excellent game so far, and the Astro inspiration was definetly felt! 💯

That’s a Broken PS5

[@dread1262]

The ps5 pro does not exist

[@danilorestieri3031]

The PS5 has so few games that it makes no sense to put a PS5 Pro on the market (even if they probably will because... it's PlayStation😂😂)

[@Alterego912]

Ooh, this looks delightful.

[@HumanBeingLol]

Some of this gives off super mario galaxy vibes in certain areas, im surprised nobodys talking about that

[@MegaRayland]

It's a platformer. It's like saying that you think of Mario because you see a mascot character jumping. It looks like Astro Bot Rescue Mission on PSVR1 which was and played incredible, back in 2018, but with even more creativity thrown in it.

[@CJpogi12]

still can't believe we got an the playroom trilogy.

[@Mark-mu4pj]

Astro Bot 🔥

[@Boofcan]

This unironically looks gas

[@DeGoulm]

Seeing all these references of other games, made me wanting that Astro Bot could get the other figures as costumes, or even better as power up costumes.

[@dragondelsur5156]

Well, according to the devs, reuniting the characters with their specific object from the gacha (for example: Aloy's bow, Ash's pencil, Kat's guardian and such) unlocks a special action for them.

[@creation_abilities]

How many collaborations you want? Playstation: yes!

[@LostOnHoth308]

I’ve been waiting a long time for this moment, my little blue friend.

[@Astroknight-xm5yr]

Oh now this honestly looks beautiful

[@ytm23ak]

Fun. Great idea and they look to have done a great job executing.

[@AwesomeGuy95]

YES! Astro's back!

[@BadHombre1]

What Knack shouldve been

[@fenexus404]

knacks perfect tho what do you mean

[@penatio]

@@fenexus404 The thing with Knack is that people expected it to be a 3D platform game, but that's not its' main focus. It's quite enjoyable for a 3D beat-em up (especially on higher difficulties). It has a lot of issues, but it's not this horrible game people make it out to be.

[@Sabundy]

Looks absolutely brilliant

[@STP.83]

Could by my personal game of the year

Was that Black console actually a teaser for ps5 pro?

[@Barteq1203]

Nope, it was normal PS5 just without the covers
