Who's hyped for Astro Bot? Drop a like 💙

[@milesmoralies7913]

Bro it looks so cool I love you videos and get some ideas for my ps5 set up thanks Bro keep posting

Meeeee, I am so hyped! 🙋‍♀️

This is awesome love your videos

With the recent disappointing gaming releases feels like Astro bot might be the breath of fresh air we need!!

[@SpawnPoiint]

It really is, such a fun game to play.

[@QuantumChrist]

For ps5 user... Nintendo switch owner literally choking with lot's of games.

[@Lush-Sushi427]

Not all were disappointing smh, Spider-Man 2, assassins creed mirage, ff7 rebirth and ff16 were all amazing

Sorry man but it’s 60 bucks

[@hxrzn7]

it wouldve been so unique if the eyes were animated!😮

[@AltCutTV]

Someone will probably make a custom kit for that. But a bit disappointing it is not original considered there are LED panels of suitable dimensions that are far less than the extra cost of this controller. The use may have been limited. But still, just a sync of the eyes to Astros in game or something would have been neat.

[@YuniorGamboa]

The battery would be less than 4 hours.

[@JuliusGrohl]

​@@YuniorGamboa that's a fair point lmao, but still I would play with the LEDs on no matter the battery.

Astro bot is actually a W game

Agree, a massive W

[@KenKaniff-dw4jw]

Goty for me. Yes it really is. It perfected what it is trying to be and the game runs flawless. No DLCs or micro transactions

[@tarkus900]

Pre-ordered both, game comes tomorrow, two weeks out for the controller and I am stoked. 66 year old gamer and I haven't been this excited for a game release since HZD. Astro Bot to the end!

got mine this morning but the box was absolutely battered. luckily the controller wasnt damaged and i can confirm its a banger of a dualsense

[@AnxMa]

When creative and passionate devs're NOT replaced by cynical accountants and execs: this game happens :) Problem with gaming: real gamers're replaced by quick-insta-fame-fake-gurus. By people who, back in the day, considered anyone of us who was computer savvy or a gamer, or had a Myspace profile to be 'a loser'. Now they use our tech to make sick money and destroy self-esteem of others. I made a deep dive video about X360 as the last great generation, I don't want to be right...

[@Spoggi99YT]

God, this controller looks so good! I’m so happy I got one. I didn’t think it would sell out so quickly and was lucky to order while they were still available.

[@Cocoelfrances]

I ordered it to on PlayStation direct, then they cancelled my order 😢

[@SpawnPoiint]

Totally agree, good job you ordered one.

[@Spoggi99YT]

@@Cocoelfrances oh that sucks, I‘m sorry to hear that! :/ I had this happen to me with a retailer when I ordered my PS5 back in February 2022….

[@Hmahmood1]

I really wished the eyes could blink or or have movement but this really does look amazing, the game looks amazing too honestly can’t wait to play

[@ali-haider5788]

In the trailer they were blinking 😢

[@PandemoniumBeanie]

Agreed. Would have been amazing. Frowny eyes for being bad. 😠

[@jamiebro7522]

I still have to wait one more day here to play the new Astro Bot game but I’m very hyped for it!

[@SpawnPoiint]

Worth the wait, it really is.

[@StrandgaZt]

Have fun with your game.

[@TheFakeFatShady]

I love this design, definitely the coolest looking one besides the spider-man one

[@craigachuff6087]

Great with the eyes. Without eyes, you wouldn't know it's an Astro Bot themed controller. Fantastic controller collection you have.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thanks!

[@longvuong7942]

It looks great! Me personally, I do think it is much needed for the eyes just so it can stand out of more of an Astro-themed controller whereas, without the eyes, it's just a cool-designed controller. But yeah, I do wish that the eyes were animated in some way, or is lit up by LED at least, but I know that'd cause some battery drainage issues.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Lit up would be really cool. It's strange because the paint they've used makes it look neon like.

[@shayanali8771]

Seeing that beautiful controller up close really makes me feel like I'm holding it right now. It looks fantastic compared to my standard PS5 controller.

[@SpawnPoiint]

It's so glossy too, wasn't expecting that.

[@Rik-fl7wy]

Astrobot built in to every ps5 was a brilliant move on sonys part especially in the ps5 early years love this series got the controller just r have to wait for my preorder physically I hope astro gets the appraise it deserves cant wait to play the full game loved playroom

Astro Bot 💙 as if I wasn't already excited for this game, this review made me want to play it even more.

Literally the only thing that kept me from preordering the controller

[@Jayvante]

All honesty, this is my most anticipated video of yours, I’ve been waiting.

[@yochrisnelson]

The controller looks AMAZING and your collection is MINDBLOWING. I cannot wait for this game to arrive tomorrow! This and Metaphor Refantazio are my most anticipated of the year and it looks like this really delivered!

[@SpawnPoiint]

It's such a nice looking controller, so glad they released it with the game.

[@johnnyloh442]

Same here. I strongly believe Metaphor ReFantazio is a GOTY contender also. The art is mind blowing!

I came across that on amazon by accident yesterday😂

[@tamaralucchi329]

I got the controller today, im a bit disappointed that there is no animation in the eyes. That is the reason I got the controller because in the trailer, they move. Overall, it's comfortable in the hands, and the gloss blue sides are really silky smooth, unlike the plain controllers where you can feel the texturing. It's a great design. I just think it's a little misleading in the promotion.

[@etzmedia2k]

Astro Bot 💙 ! I think the eyes on the touchpad are perfect. It acts as a finishing touch to complete the design & theme of the controller.

[@justinvenus133]

Best 3D platform game ever, remind me of my childhood ☺️

[@IsaacWasHere2010]

Astro bot looks like such a good game

[@leccy9901]

Astro bot is a great game. My 4 year old loves it, I love it as an adult who plays mainly souls like games or some rpg stuff, and it even has my mrs playing it now and then, and she plays nothing usually. In the wake of concord, suicide squad and star wars outlaws, astrobot and wukong have given me faith that good games are still being made. And with space Marine 2 looking really good, there's new games out that are actually worth getting. Astro is a game for everyone. I wish they made more games like this available for ps5. Simple but perfect.

[@The-x6r]

If they make an astro bot ps5 console that would be wild

[@JustAnotherGamer1005]

If people didn't realize it before, I guess this game is going to get people to play the first full Astro Bot game on PSVR. It's the same gameplay, minus the dual sense, but with the VR.

[@Heisenberg0086]

Astro Bot. Looks great. Purchased a physical copy today. Looking forward to putting it on once I finish work.

[@darrylfreeman7889]

Astro boy is amazing, looks like cartoonish style games are be making a comeback, even Hifi-rush a huge W.

[@Macktube]

I'm gonna play this as soon as it comes in the mail.😂 I have a feeling It's gonna be the funnest game of the journey generation so far

[@bellissimo4520]

I know it's just a Dual Sense with some Astro Bot design... but I could not help myself and had to order one right with the game! And yes, I very much love the eyes on the touch pad - I think they really make it come to life as an Astro Bot item!

[@ShadowTheLight]

best controller design by far imo, so cute and goes above and beyond design wise. sad that it's limited

[@Themarcoalmonte]

The one game i been hyped for in a long time since Rift Apart’s announcement

[@PoisonPrince1]

I have PS5 since last November and didn't pick up Astronomy until recently. It's actually one of the best platformers I have ever played, so I will definitely buy it. It looks even more fun

[@ChuckleNutts225]

So exited for the vid I will definitely be buying the game!

[@SpawnPoiint]

It's so good, you're going to enjoy it.

[@jming9089]

I think the eyes are better because it aligns with the game itself

[@shenxi]

It would be so cool if the eyes on the controller moved dynamically, maybe even change expressions and etc when playing Astro Bot.

[@jayhendrix7343]

Without the eye dots would have had me buying the astro controller. The game however is beyond my expectations & its crazy fun.

[@Gmh6477]

People expecting the eyes to light up and animate like they did in the marketing 😂

[@PandemoniumBeanie]

To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. Love the design, but I thought it would be closer to the in game controller. Fired up the new game with the shiny new controller and instantly noticed the distinct lack of chrome use for analog sticks, trigger, d-pad, back, etc. Would have been a nice touch. I like the eyes. Would have been super cool if they were reactive, but that would have been a bigger price tag.

[@NTROV3RT]

Was literally waiting on your review I’m surprised you didn’t get one a lot earlier mines arrives today🙌🏽
