People have been saying this is a "small game" and sure, it probably didn't cost $300M. But it's big. 50+ levels with incredible care and detail put into every nook and cranny.
For the party in Astro’s Playroom, it was live in there the whole launch day. I didn’t get to see the timer hit zero, but when I went in later that day the party was still going. Such great games
This is one of my absolute favourite details I spotted! When you interact (hit) the PaRappa The Rapper bot, He says in a cute astro bot voice, “I gotta believe!” In reference to the games! I can’t help but smile every time I hear it! 😊😂
the patapons speak in little bot voices too. so does master onion (i think) i could’ve sworn i heard him go “kick, punch, it’s all in the mind” in a tiny bot voice
The fact that the developers designed the raindrops and snowflakes to resemble the square, triangle, cross and circle is an amazing detail. No one would notice that until you really looked for it. Crazy!
I hope they add more DLC's to this game. I have never had more relaxing fun to any game for a long time, and as someone who grew up with playstation this is a love letter for us fans.
I guess the only "dlc" will be the speed-running mode they didn't have enough time to polish before the release. Hopefully, the director is fibbing at least a little bit
@@Totally_not-TheSameDude Considering the credits have licensing stuff for Croc, Assassin's Creed, Beyond Good & Evil and Rayman, as well as Sweet Tooth and Fat Princess being in the concept art in the deluxe edition stuff, I don't see how the game won't get DLC.
@NipplesTheEnchilada2323 we will see.. After being burned by insomniac with sm2 I'm not getting my hopes up for anything. Edit: not saying the evidence you provided isn't convincing btw, just plans can change sometimes : /
@NipplesTheEnchilada2323 I didn’t know about that licensing. It doesn’t mean there will be DLC though, it could just mean they got that permission and it fell through or whatever. Assassins Creed sounds promising as a special level for a DLC world though, plenty of characters to use as bots.
I personally just realy love the more obscure references in the game. I mean who expected Jaster Rouge from Rouge Galaxy, Captain Rock from Motor Toon, Alundra, or freaking Taneo from Incredible Crisis to show up?
This is the kind of content I expect when watching walkthrough since I can't play it but sadly I only get people who are rushing to finish the game without exploring, playing jrpg in dub or ignoring npcs/library/codex with information on the world as they finish the game to move on as fast as possible
The details with a lot of the bots at the crash site are so good. Some of my favorites being the Bloodborne Hunter not being able to get hit as he'll always parry you with a visceral shot, and Aiden knocking you on your ass when you hit Jodie. And while you find most bots just flailing around in the levels, the two that stand out to me are finding Ellie playing the guitar (which I kinda wish was her animation at the crash site), and the cleverest spot I think was Wander clinging to the back of the giant robot, because of course that's where he'd be, I wouldn't expect anything else.
This is the first game I ever got the platinum trophy for. So much fun and not a slog to play, you can constantly make progress and just enjoy what you're doing. It doesn't ask a lot from you and I love that.
I completed the game three days ago. Platinum Trophy and all collectables. I restarted it yesterday. It's cute, it's very charming, it's simple so anyone can play. It's bright and there's an incredible amount of thought that goes into every step, sound and sight. It might be a little short in terms of levels compared to other games but it's undoubtedly Game of the Year. But I might dare to say one of the greatest games of all time. Astro has won my heart!
Im bummed i didnt hear about that countdown before i missed out on it..just watching it on my phone guves a huge smile for the whole time.. woulda been amazing to experience it on the big screen!
I remember watching an interview with the director, where he confirmed that the level name, "Construction Derby" was a nod to Destruction Derby. Though I'm unsure how many other level names are nods to other games.
I found a secret in astro bot when you clean the ps5 side board your controller will light up with the right color that your cleaning and it wil go disco disco when you complete a level
It’s actually incredible how many details are in this game. Like it would be such a shame to just play through these levels normally without trying to interact with everything. 10/10
Thank you guys for making an amazing game for me and the kiddos to play! That ending was great and i had a tear in my eye since i grew up all playstation from ps1, psp ect to now. 💙
Astro has to be game of the year. It has been a while where a game celebrates the history of a console and it's generations and excels at being a videogame.
In the lava planet, when you pick up the duck you move slower as it releases water so the only way to beat the flames is to grab it and run. That’s some serious videogame physics
0:03 - 0:05 - *When Astro Bot won various nominations, especially The Game of the Year at The Game Award 2024* Edit December 13th 2024: HE WON! WE DID IT!
This game is so much fun. a couple levels are absolutely frustrating but I love all the throw backs to different generations of playstation. I hope they do more astrobot games
This game is so good. I have never played a game where I smile so much while playing and then get a little sad after each level... KNowing that it is over and I am getting closer to the end. However, I am happy to replay it down the road and they have plans for new free DLC with new levels and challenge/speed runs. Team Asobi is gold and should be given every resource possible. They accomplished so much and nail every detail. This game is a masterpiece in PlayStation's large lineup.
My favourite interaction is with the Bloodborne bot who immedietaley parries you when you tried to hit it. And of course kicking Spiderman down the console :D
I was on stream when the countdown ended. I picked up the new trophies and played something else until about 4 mins left. I was like "Woooooow its the ps1 music" "Does this portal just take me to the store to buy astro bot?" It did.
Animators wanting to see some real nice slight of hand should also look at Kratos woodchopping as the way the uncut logs multiply so that there are always logs is really slick and well hidden.
„A detail nobody noticed“ 7:09 that was literally one of the only things I’ve noticed lol. I didn’t even see half of the idle or interaction animations because I just never put down the controller
The rain drops is easier to see when they bounce off the robot's body in the stage where robot was chained. oh and Mimir's head just float when all the bots are connecting to form a rope. It makes zero sense, lol.
for me the main one was using the claw machine because you upgrade you special bots with scenery...but if you then hit those bots with the new scenes they will have new special animations
Its funny that the fireballs thrown at us by the small chameleon enemies have the shape of a chameleon head. Just saw it by chance while I was slowing down the time.
When you do the reference video, I’d like to see gameplay of the original video game characters. That’s what I was searching for a few days ago and couldn’t find it
A cool detail in this game is with the sly cooper bot, if you get it’s special animation and get far away. You can see it trying to reenact the moment in sly cooper of sly getting the thief’s cain, get close and the bot hides in the safe.
The four bots you rescue in the Playroom only show up if you've actually rescued them. They won't appear for players who haven't done so. Take a look at the raptor chasing Lara. Specifically, its eyes. They're hearts. And when you hit her, the raptor snuggles up to her.
Stray taking forever to move is probably orange cat behavior.

it really is
Yes it is
Maybe!
I'm on the last level pain in my butt

It’s like a 10 hour platformer. It’s small in comparison to other AAA titles.
@@jaybee4288 If you want to enjoy it it is not 10 hours
It took me like 30 hours
@jaybee4288 no it makes up for that by not costing 100 dollars for the digital deluxe
@@jaybee4288there is no way anyone playing through for the first time and trying to enjoy the game is finishing the game in 10 hours
@jaybee4288 not for casual gamers
The reason Astro's Playroom and Astro Bot are so good is because the execs don't care. The Devs care. We need more of that
If the execs cared enough to meddle I shudder to imagine what’d go wrong
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

There was a party? And I missed it? Typical of my whole life. :O
I just got the game today and I’m officially saying it deserves to be the mascot for PlayStation
Hell no. Sackboy is.

Detail 51: Nathan Drake's gun is the same one he has in Uncharted 4 when his playing in his house
The attic plate trophy haha
You could also make drakes gun work like a really fast shooting gun if you use r2 and l2 very fast
the rain and snow being playstation button shaped is actually such a cool detail
If you see really close your ps5 controller is also covered in playstation button shapes
@@Rj_xxiv And OG PS5's console covers too

I was surprised when I saw Jaster. Didn't even consider that he'd get an appearance.
but no Kai Tana from Velocity :
For me it was the Pomeranian from Tokyo Jungle. Didn't see that one coming from a mile away!
For me, Mad Maestro was reeeeeeally surprising. Like, how did they even remember the existence of that game?
I'm not ashamed to admit that seeing jaster actually made me pog.

Can’t get over how adorable he sounds and looks 😭😭
3:27 this should’ve been a trophy
I agree!

But I might dare to say one of the greatest games of all time. Astro has won my heart!
I started my 1st playthough a few days ago. Think I'm nearly 1/2 way there since i have nearly 1/2 the total number of bots. It's a great game.
I've got the platinum and I'm still finding out cool things about the game. Amazed it only took three and a half years to make.
5:51 The cutest thing i have ever seen in my life.
Another detail is when Astro “dies” in credits the logo of TEAM ASOBI is sad
:(
Im bummed i didnt hear about that countdown before i missed out on it..just watching it on my phone guves a huge smile for the whole time.. woulda been amazing to experience it on the big screen!
I remember watching an interview with the director, where he confirmed that the level name, "Construction Derby" was a nod to Destruction Derby. Though I'm unsure how many other level names are nods to other games.
This game is proof that the small details really make a game shine. This game has so much personality

It's clear a lot of love went into the designing of this game. I'm glad it's getting the recognition it deserves.
Yes, but do any lemurs like to, "Move it, Move it!" ?
Smiled through the whole video. Thanks! 🙂
When they're all in the ship doing the countdown, it reminds me of the pod in little big planet
Same. It's not as good but it's close enough.
The nerf gun drake throws to Astro bot is the same nerf gun drake plays with in the attic chapter in uncharted 4
this game is so PEAK

2:16 he cant speak
Astro:i am astro bot astro bot i am astro bot😂

Astro Bot is like a Nintendo game on PlayStation. It is just fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.
7:44 “he immediately passes out, and snores like your mum” 🤣🤣
The bots are getting out of hand 💀
They really are
They’re multiplying.
I'm one of the few that noticed #29 (the rainbow effect when the oil mixes with water.) That attention to detail blew my mind when I 1st saw it.
This game is so good. I have never played a game where I smile so much while playing and then get a little sad after each level... KNowing that it is over and I am getting closer to the end.

Game of the year for sure.
You can also jump on the cow in the Safari Park. When I did it, he laid down and they snuggled.
Man, the little details are incredible.
My favourite interaction is with the Bloodborne bot who immedietaley parries you when you tried to hit it. And of course kicking Spiderman down the console :D
8:00 “heavily petting” 😂😂😂
this is the cutest game ever made no one can change my mind.
Astro bot can speak, he speaks litterally all the time
omg the bear + Astro band is so ADORABLE T0T
Wow I didn't know all these little details in Astro Bot, simply just awesome!!
It isn't the game of the year, IT IS THE GAME OF THE CENTURY!
The best platform Game ever made, better than any Mario galaxy or odyssey
They paved the way for this, so no...
This game is like the Super Mario Galaxy 3 we never got.
great vid bro loveing the content

Uhh in all songs with astros remix you can hear a "Whats ur name??" then Astro says "I am astro bot"

Astrobot definitely the game of the year
It’s so cute that Astro bot taking
I’m laughing this is so funny and adorable
I got the memory card soooo many times I thought it was the only animation and that the psp was special 😂

There's also a Terraway bot you can rescue.

When you have the dog and dash into a solid object, it cries/whimpers.

1:35 I think this is also with the soundtrack and art book logo sequence
2:12 its like he reacted
thank you
This guys voice actually does my head in
Me too. 🤝
The Hunter parries you if you try to hit him. Best detail.
Smacking all the collected VIP bots (the ones with the swirling blue particles around them)...
The four bots you rescue in the Playroom only show up if you've actually rescued them. They won't appear for players who haven't done so.
Take a look at the raptor chasing Lara. Specifically, its eyes. They're hearts. And when you hit her, the raptor snuggles up to her.
If you hear “I am Astro bot”, he ACTUALLY TALKS!
Astrobot is amazing!
