Virtually flawless on 4 year old APU yet fools are sat here with 1500 GPUs that buckle under the pressure of monkey game and star fantasy criminals. What is this life.

Watch as Sony learns nothing from this week and dives into making Concord 2: Now Even More Live Service

Astro Bot Rescue Mission was a glorified VR tech-demo.

Early GOTY nominees prediction

I know it's really early to guess what games are going to be nominated for GOTY at the Game Awards in December. But what are we feeling are the contenders? Blackmyth Wukong: looks like a great nomination from what I've seen. It's got spectacle at level that's higher than most games we're seeing...

PS5 Pro Specs Leak are Real, Releasing Holiday 2024(Insider Gaming)

I agree with the Loxus sentiment. Very confusing.

Hey, that's great. I guessed upper 80s, so at 94, it's doing better than I expected. Good for them. Hope it sells well. I'll put it on my wishlist.

 

[thatJohann]

I just hope the soundtrack goes as HARD as the first one

 

[Vyse]

This sounds right to me.

Boom. I am killing it!

 

[ithilion]

Astro is most certainly a lot better than GOWR lol.

look if this is about story beats and that atreyu teenager angst shit i agree thats was a fuckup. Graphics and gameplay loop no. But this is a astro bot thread and i will derail no further. I will say no more

 

[FoxMcChief]

I really hope this game sells.

 

[Little Mac]

Sorry my bad. Busy at work and maybe a little too excited. Didn’t realize I already posted it off laptop instead of phone.

No worries man. I'm just messing with you.

 

[CobraAB]

Good stuff. Congrats Sony.

 

[Vyse]

Guessed between 90-94.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Now give this team Ape Escape!!!

 

[MrJangles]

Hmmm. I have two grand saved up for a new PC. This is seriously tempting me to take a chunk out of it and buy a PS5

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Don't worry, I'm actually impressed a tech-demo is scoring this well.

Bodes well for Sony flagship titles.

And it will be funny to see certain posters thanking Hulst for greenlighting Astro Bot. Because he deserves the praise, right?

Patience. It will come to PC. Or wait for the PS5 Pro.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Oh dear, it scored higher than I expected.

Now what?

Take that L graciously and move on. That's about it.

I just bet $100 with a friend that this wins GOTY. He’s going with FF Rebirth.

I think it’s a clear win for me.

Timing is really bad with the pro around the corner. But it's sucks when fomo is kicking. Would say wait at least until they anounce the Pro and their future lineup and GP from there. But if you surive fomo you can just wait until it comes to your new PC when you get it.

Do you want other stuff on the ps5?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Take that L graciously and move on. That's about it.

As a "playstation fanboy", shouldn't this be a W for me?

[Auto_aim1]

Didn't expect these reviews, nice!

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Whoa…very impressive result for Astrobot. I was quite off with my 88 prediction. I thought a longer version of Astro would fair better than the 84 average of Astro’s Playroom, but I underestimated how much of a bump a full fat release would get.

A 94/95 is insane, puts it ahead of FFVII Rebirth as the best reviewed game of the year. That Opencritic score of 95 is nuts, it’s even ahead of Shadow of the Erdtree. I did not expect the game to score this well.

 

[Neolombax]

Be careful. I heard it’s full of testosterone.

Exactly what i need

Calling Astro Bot Rescue Mission a tech demo it's literally disrespectful.

It is quite possibly the best platformer ever made.

The only reason it goes under the radar is because it's a VR title.

In no fucking way is it a tech demo, it's literally a fucking masterpiece and calling a masterpiece a tech demo is one of the worst takes I've ever read.

Why is this getting me hot?

Does it matter if I consider it a tech-demo that much?

It scored higher than I expected, which is impressive imo and I already stated so.
Enjoy the moment.

Not really my thing. But its always great to see brilliant, polished, single player, non GaaS and refreshing games coming out. Not something to be taken for granted. Well done PlayStation.

Me, my friend and a lot of people around me will buy it
Gonna duble dip if it ever comes to pc

Game will be an easy

80-84%​

GAF is on pure cope thinking it will reach high 80's or even 90 on MC.

sorry had to

I am waiting for the PC version as I don't have a PS5 anymore.

 

[BigLee74]

At 50 (tomorrow) I like my games not to look and sound like baby games. I’m also not really into platforming.

But those are great scores and I quite fancy a wee shot with the PS5 controller just to see if I can be won over!

Can't Believe I'm away this weekend until Sunday....I feel like I'm getting ill. Might have to cancel my plans.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I’m just glad I’m always right. I’ve been talking up an Astro Bot game, well before it was announced. I wanted that team to either make a true Astro Bot full game (no VR), or be given the Ape Escape franchise.
