Tim is still wrong about the design of Astro Bot but I'm even more hyped for the game.
I was already hyped for Astro Bot but Tim’s take has me more excited. Can’t wait!
I will never understand Tim’s feelings about the Astrobot aesthetic. I think it’s so charming haha.
It's kind of annoying tbh
Edit: Tim, not the aesthetic
I don't care that much but do think it doesn't look great
@@CountDarsAstro Bot has a VERY appealing and cute design, I don’t know what you’re talking about?!?!?
It’s ok to have bad opinions… I guess.
It's because it's not Mario I'm pretty sure
I have the same problem with it's design that I have with most of the newer starter pokemon designs - where it is just 3 circles and big eyes. They can still be cute or good, but it's a little lazy that the chibi-coded stuff is kind of just what everything is.
I don’t understand the hate for Astrobot that Tim has? He is absolutely adorable! They poke fun at him saying he hates Astrobot because he is a jealous Mario fan which is funny.
But regardless of the reason I still can’t wrap my head around it. I could understand if Astrobot was kind of weird of funny looking. But he is just a lil guy who is a robot.
Andy listening to Coheed and the song being Feathers is exactly the good vibes I needed after work today.
Ending the preview by revealing there is a God of War level, but not actually showing any of that level, is perfect. I can't wait. I might avoid future trailers so I enjoy all the surprises and easter eggs to the fullest.
PS. Don't be paranoid, Tim. Easy Allies also assumed they were foreshadowing a God of War level.
Can wait for Astrobot, I'll put 100h playing it together with my daughter 💛
If the SGF demo was 3 levels and took 45 minutes, that means Astro Bot is roughly 20 hours with its 80 levels. #Math
14:40 What constitutes something as being “generic” as opposed to not being generic? What makes say the Badniks from Sonic more original such as; Caterkiller than the robots in Astro Bot? The world of Astro Bot is soooo full of charm, whimsy and creativity, the enemies react to your presence, the grass and and scenery sway as you walk through them, the characters are full of emotions, the rescue bots get stuck in different scenarios etc. How is all of that “generic?” Does none of that constitutes as “originality?”
The world of Astro Bot is unified, everything has a mechanical esthetic to it. Including all of the robots, animals, plants, etc. They all have a consistent look that makes them all feel like they all belong in the same world. The tress and plants are even mechanical, Astro Bot has a very cute, charming design. What more do they need to do?
Shoutout to Coheed and Cambria. Didnt think I could like Andy anymore than I already do!
The astro bots have always lived in the controller ever since the PS4 launch, my kids loved it. They won't play on Xbox because they don't want to leave there friends on there own 🙈
I forgot about this but in Astro bot: Rescue Mission you even fight a giant gorilla on a PS1. The Astro Bot series has been doing this since the very beginning.
No one talking about the astrobot trailer showing us the god of war level. Where not Kratos throws the axe to Astro.
So excited to play Astrobot soon. I hope it sells well enough to encourage the return of more 3D platformers.
Astro didn’t seem like my type of game, but Tim completely sold me
The zoom in on Andy had me crying laughing lol
I want a clip of Tim rocking out to Astro's music in his theater upon release haha
The brand is the fact that they are robots. It’s in the title haha.
I'm with Andy. My heart yearns for 60fps Bloodborne, and it's depressing that it will come in the form of AstroBot. Not that I don't like AstroBot.
World 5 finale might end up being a Yharnam level and Astro might get a comedy saw cleaver.
I think if Astro can nail the gameplay for the majority of the game's run time and be a commercial success, it'll allow Team Asobi to then flex their muscles even more for hopefully future titles.
The Mario titles have obviously had a lot of time to develop their visual style and flair.
I'm hoping we're allowed to see Astro grow and develop overtime too.
Andy listens to The Dear Hunter? Always knew he was the best
They tour with Coheed all the time so makes sense.
love em!
@@TheAndyCortezSaw them while sitting in a pool and drinking on the Coheed cruise. It was a nuts experience.
The slowpan on Andy about the Clock Tower killed me
I’m just now watching this a week late and am scanning through the comments and hit your comment literally the moment of the close-up. Perfect!
Hi Tim, have you ever played Astro Bot Rescue Mission?
Love me some Sackboy and Astro's playroom. Really looking forward to this.
The Dear Hunter fan??? Lets go!!!! Favorite Act??
I'd argue most 3D platformer enemies are fairly generic (except for maybe Ratchet's since they change so often) simply because a lot are legacy franchises that got their start on basic hardware where their sprites were a handful of pixels at most. It's only because time's gone on and these franchises have stayed with us that they've become iconic.
Donkey Kong is literally just a gorilla in a tie.
King Boo is just a basic ghost shape with a crown.
King K. Rool is just a crocodile with some regal attire.
Kirby himself is just a pink blob.
Not knocking any of these designs (I love the Mario and Kirby games), but I'm just saying that if Astro Bot has legs as a series and continues, I think the designs will reach similar levels of recgonisability and iconic status (not quite, since it will always be a newer franchise)
Imagine this game gets, game of the year.
it's almost guaranteed. only game PS fans will rally behind. doesn't matter what else releases.
@@p.ukem0n327acting like ff7 rebirth is not gonna sweep GOTY.
I would just love an in game journal system in the next fromsoft game that auto fills with things you’ve figured out already so when you play NG+ you have an in game guide
Alright, I'm officially making a playlist for you all. Tim doesn't know Deerhunter, Greg didn't know Siouxsie & The Banshees. Got some music magic coming y'alls way.
ASTRO BOT SAVED 2024
First of all great shirt Tim and Andy. You know the whole hating of our robot is sounding like a it’s a just you issue. For a minute I thought you were going to say we are dozens! Nintendo cuteness is impossible to match.
Hey guys, minor suggestion, the starting soon screen being on the full video is probably ruining your chances of new clicks. The auto play feature being the actual intro will probably catch peoples attention way more. Wanna see you guys doing awesome, had to say something lol. Love the shows, keep up the great work!
Ive tried to get into Monster Hunter like 3 times and sheeeeet lets make it 4 times
Helldivers level 😂
Andy loves Deerhunter? I didn't know anyone at Kinda Funny had taste for indie rock, experimental and or alternative music
From simply needs to incorporate difficulty settings. That's it.
14:40 What constitutes something as being “generic” as opposed to not being generic? What makes say the Badniks from Sonic more original such as; Caterkille, than the robots in Astro Bot? The world of Astro Bot is soooo fun of charm, whimsy and creativity, the enemies react to your presence, the characters are full of emotions, the rescue bots get stuck in different scenarios etc. Is all of that “generic” does none of the constitutes as “originality?”

I hate how deeply it bothers me that Tim talks so much trash about astrobots design. Tim aligns with so many of my tastes and opinions and I think he is extremely well thought out and reasonable in his criticisms and appreciations. This + having a degree in a design field just makes me so confused on what he sees because I truly think it’s well designed. The only thing I can think of is the “hips” proportion, because it does create a bit of an unusual shape for where the legs hinge, but still that isn’t exaggerated enough to detract from it. It’s emotive, aligns with the brand aesthetic but with a splash, and is recognizable while allowing for a transferable base for costumes/characters which is perfect for the Sony catalogue. I JUST DONT GET IT.
Astrobot 2 seems to be a Good game so I dont know about Goty but who knows.
So Andy has some good taste in music then.
Andy and Barrett music takes are always good, Bless, Mike, and Greg however 😬😬😬
Ive spent the first half of this year playing Fromsoftware games for the first time. Bloodborne, Demons Souls and now Elden Ring. And yeah i needed guides (demons souls was a bit more straightforward i used it more for strategies for encounters and boss fights). Like explain how to use your map in elden ring man. I tried to play a few times but just didnt get anyy of it. After a few hours following a guide i fonally understood how you're meant to read the map. I wish caves and tombs were more easy to find without having to look up the locations. Had the same issue with Bloodborne too. Its just so hard to navigate the world and feel like you know what you're doing, whete you're going and why. Definitely a huge reason these games are not 10/10 for me.
I agree with everything you say. For me the worst part of elden ring is the leveling up system. Not just levels but your weapons levels. When first playing the game if I had no help, I would've never understood how to increase damage. From not knowing that I had to go to blacksmiths, that I need the smithing stones (correct type and lvl) , runes, and the correct weapons (some weapons are just bad for your build). I'm someone who normally enjoys reading everything. But there's too much fucking small print in everything you do in these games. That being said it's still my favorite game in the past decade, but it makes it difficult to recommend to newbies
@@imTofuDragon there are some game design issues but those quality of life set of issues are the most off putting for newbies who would rather not use a guide or help from others. All i needed was for someone to point at stuff on the Elden Ring map and say "hey if you see that type of thing it means there's ruins and within it probably a tunnel whereas you'll get stuff or fight something."
WILL THE FINAL BOSS BE A PS5 PRO
Is this a VR game like the first one or just flat screen?
Flat screen, no VR
@@AndrewB2189 Bummer
Glad they talked about it, I don't think the character design and aesthetic of Astro Bot has the legs to be cherished like a Mario. Like Tim said, the octopus boss is pretty genaric. To be the stand out platformer mascot you need to build a world of familiarity and language.
I think it's far too late to establish a cute mascot. You could only get away with that a couple decades ago. Astro Bot feels entirely corporate and forced. We're just in a different place now. Everybody is more aware of cynical marketing strategy.
Even if the gameplay is good, they'll never have a beloved mascot at this point.
@@arckinenso7615 That's some straight ridiculous BS, if they commit and continue to establish Astro they def can create a mascot. You have to think of growing generations of young people, not your personal feelings.
As opposed to Super Mario Odyssey’s Octopus boss Mollusque-Lanceur who just has a toupee? He has such a much more unique and original design?
Xbox's mascot game should either be a mascot platform fighter or tag fighter
I swear Tim is the only person in the world who doesn't like the design of astro, its crazy to me lol. Mario is a generic plumber, where's his critique of that lol
The problem when Tim like something is that he likes everything
Geez, Tim has some weird takes.
I used to love tim but the older I become the more annoying he becomes to me I don’t know why 😅 lol
Man why didn't they talk about Project Batman?! Also, Red Dead what?? It's already on PC, what could that possibly be??
Red Dead Redemption 1 is not on PC.
@@MikeOnDrums ohhh, REALLY? Damn, well I hope if they do that they'll at LEAST remaster it and release it again on everything.
Travesty game has not been released on VR..not touching it till it is
Unless a person has played Astro Rescue mission, s/he won't realise the PS5 Astro playroom game was mediocre in comparison
Historically Astro had been released as a VR game and Rescue mission was a system seller
I would have also considered buying PSVR2 if the game was on VR
Ha ha the acolyte is far from good
Lot of haters in these comments. Relax guys.
“Haters” yeah. 🤦♂️
People just don’t agree with Tim and his terrible take on Astro Bot’s design. Nobody is being a “hater.”
Holy we get it Tim, you dont like the design. Never seen anyone obsess over a design so much
Why are you crying so much Sami, just be an adult and go on with your day
@@AREAlheroWhy are you defending Tim and his crying?
@@lenarmangum8630 he obsessed with me. Click his profile and see his last comments. Weird dude
@@lenarmangum8630 His face is literally on camera, no tears were shed. But good try kid
@@lenarmangum8630 bro off something. Check his comments. All he does is reply to me. He also always has 2 likes which is hilarious in itself. Might be 3 now after he reads this lol
Dude character names? That's all you got to complain about. And really tried to make an issue of it. Wow!!!! Thing is you have no idea what is in the game. Boy the bias was showing hard
do you know what the word bias means
@@TheAndyCortez Do you? You name dropped several games that include names and personalities for a host of NPCs and proceeded to deem Astro Bot lesser for lacking it. Bias.
@@aaronpierce1998 if i was a nintendo podcast host who used to work at nintendo, then maybe i'd be biased but i'm just comparing it to something else and saying the other thing is doing something better.
@@TheAndyCortez fair enough👍🏾
@@aaronpierce1998Schizo fanboy moment averted
The bakers dozen thing was never funny and it’s annoying every time, just let it die please 🫣🥲
