    This was such a fun video. It's games like these, that truly let you appreciate Sony, what they've done for the gaming world and the plethora of fun we've had with it over the decades of gaming. Astro's Playroom was such a breath of fresh air and still one of my most favourite platformers.
    I do admit, the homage to the older generations and Astro's overly cute nature was a huge part of that. But the snappy controls, the absolute masterclass work with the DS5's features and the adorable soundtrack just makes for an all-in-one package. Albeit, a short package. I hope it's games like Astro, that made us all love Sony for all the games they've made in the past, help point Sony back in the right direction to once again, make games for the players.
    With that said, I am beyond hyped for Astrobot 2024! One more day guys!

    I was never a PlayStation guy until I picked up a PS4 purely for Spider-Man back in 2018, got a PS5 this year with Spider-Man 2. Even though I grew up with Nintendo and Xbox I still feel the nostalgia of this game and it might sound over the top but it’s genuinely a top 20 game of all time for me, it’s just a beautiful experience. I wish Nintendo would make something like this using Mario. They have enough of their own consoles, peripherals and iconic characters to reference of their own.

    Wish they’d port rescue mission to PSVR2. It’s still one of the best VR games I’ve played and looks great, just upscaling, adding haptic support and increasing lighting and texture resolutions would be enough.
    There are of course technical challenges and it would probably need to use the vr sense controllers instead of dualsense due to the dualsense not having in built 3d tracking that the DualShock 4 had with its light. Beyond that and the challenge of changing things for inside out tracking instead of camera, I think it would be fairly quick for team Asobi to port it over in a good level of quality, it doesn’t need to be a big new release they could just allow people to download and buy a ps5 version like some other psvr1 to 2 portrd games

    IMO Astro Bot Rescue Mission VR is to VR platformers, what Super Mario 64 was to 3D platformers. It has tight gameplay, beautiful visuals, a memorable soundtrack, clever and immersive use of the VR headset and the PS4 controller... I could go on. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. Hopefully the new game is successful enough to warrant a re-release of Rescue Mission on PS5VR and PC headsets.

    Astro Bot is the PS5's LittleBigPlanet. It's a flagship exclusive that is necessary to the Playstation brand as a whole, especially with all the huge mistakes Sony keeps making and continues to make, all while leaving games people actually want to just be sat on and done nothing with. This franchise is the diamond in the wroth for the PS5, and Sony needs to realize it or else they'll end up nowhere much like Microsoft's Xbox at this rate.

    It’s the tec being utalized in its best way. Put this on switch or even Xbox/pc and you lose so much without the PS5 controller at the very least to carry its best features. Switch couldn’t do shit even with 3D rumble and motion controls, other systems look better with that interactivity with small objects being important but lackluster compared to using the original controller. This is what exclusive games should be, using every aspect of a systems capabilities to run, look and feel as great as it can be.
    That all said, no PSVR2 support? That’s retarded.
