@DarianStarfrog even more reasons to make amazing games like this in VR then. It might drive sales of the headset. At the end of the day that's what sells hardware, I assume you have PS5, if the games were ***** you wouldn't buy the thing.
@RoomWithaMoose I agree with most of what you said. But I love games like Gears & Uncharted. We need more games like that but with the gorgeous art style of souls, that would suit me. This is the problem with the industry. Dev costs has stifled creativity, so its just endless cut & paste to play it safe.
The polls speak for themselves, the industry is drowning in this *****. Fair enough some may love em, that's ok. But this trend has to stop, personally I love the original God of War games. I would like something that looks like souls but plays more old school, is that really to much to ask
From the votes obviously people agree, what ***** this is. But Sony choose to throw money at crap like this instead of developing great AAA single player experiences or more to the point VR2 quality content. After mugs like me spent over 500 quid on the thing. Sony need to get with the programme & seriously think about what made them great in the first place.
These are the sort of games Sony should be investing in. Unfortunately this probably won't get a physical release. Twenty quid is a nice price but still to much for a download for me personally. Will wait for sale.
Would like em all, but don't buy Edge magazine anymore. Haven't for years, it went down the pan ages ago. Reviews are crap now, the articles within are rubbish, got thinner, and most of the mag is adverts for the industry. When it first came out all those years ago it was brilliant. But the industry/consoles were more exciting so that probably reflected in the magazine.
My favourite genre of gaming, practically all I play is retro shmups. This looks great, but have heard mixed reviews about people who have played the demo. I will wait to see reviews before I jump. Personally not retro enough for me.
I bought one at launch, wish I hadn't. The price was a lot, but I hoped for that big investment. Sony were invested to, in making some incredible VR experiences. But basically they have stuck two fingers up to the user base. Let's just say I won't be buying VR again, especially from Sony I'm done.
@SystemAddict couldn't agree more, all this soulslike crap just destroys the fun in gaming for me. Can't stand when you fight for your life to kill a boss. Only to be killed instantly from the next, because you can't level up or haven't got a particular power. For some it may spur them on for me I just get pissed off & walk away.
@invictus4000 yes I'm with you 💯 just like you I spent over £500 on the damn thing. The least they can do is support it !! And yes if they would of announced Rescue mission as well. Then i would of felt some consolation. For me personally I'm done with VR especially from Sony I won't be buying VR3 that's for sure.
@dark_knightmare2 yes the tides are turning, gamers are getting sick of em. It's about time devs get the message as well. The PS3/360 era was the golden age for 3rd person story games we need them back. If the devs poured the time & resources into this genre then everyone could be happy. The new Gears is going to amazing along with Astrobot. It's about time Linearity made a return.
What a joke of a preview, lost me with the oh it's an Uncharted style area. Heaven forbid its "LINEAR" as if its unacceptable!! Has it not crossed your mind that some of us gamers welcome linearity In games. I will wait for a proper review, or will judge it myself.
@TurboTom PSVR 1 had some really good stuff on it. Dont get me wrong the support wasn't strong. But when Sony committed to releasing VR2, i really thought they were serious about the tech & thought the support was going to be something special. Its really annoying as the headset has brilliant tech. But yes I was wrong it looks like they couldn't careless. Obviously sales were low. But without great content what did they expect. Great software drives hardware that's the way it works. Let's just say I'm done with VR especially from Sony. I will keep the headset for now at least.
Personally that Says it all !! an official kick in the teeth from the developer himself. They should at least give us Astrobot rescue mission, being as its VR to VR experience. Surely that's not to much to ask for.
@TurboTom if you played rescue mission on VR1, Believe me you would have a different outlook. Dont get me wrong the new one looks amazing, & I will buy it. But for us VR2 users it really feels like a in the teeth.
@Absymbel yes it has mate, hopefully soon. With regards to a new Axelay I wish 🤞 it worries me they will probably spoil it nowadays though. Adding unnecessary crap to appeal to the new crowd. Instead of keeping old school.
That's the ***** show the industry is now, the forever obsession with tech specs & the cry babies wanting 4k, 60fps, raytracing is never ending. Unfortunately the ones moaning about dev times & lack of games are the cause of the whole problem. Expectations are so high its getting ridiculous.
This actually proves that gamers obviously want change from the ever ending openworld, roguelite, Metroidvania ***** that we get week in week out. Wake up Sony & the industry!!
It proves to me Sony don't give a ***** anymore about what gamers want. They have got complacent, obviously the lack of competition has made then arrogant. I'm more pissed off I bought VR2, no real support & commitment for the hardware, especially now with Astrobot!! They obviously don't care about there fanbase. Let's just say I won't be buying VR3 & PS6 for that matter.
Suck it up!! Funny how pc gamers belittle the consoles. But deep down they really want to play the amazing games the likes of Sony produce. Create an account, simple really lol 😆
Something amazing on VR2, hopefully Astrobot would be great. To justify that ridiculous price I paid for that damn headset. To be honest will probably sell on if nothing great shows up this year.
Didn't enjoy the demo, looks fantastic but the clunky platforming was painful. The review just about sums it up to be honest. Might pick it up in a few years when it's dirt cheap & it will be.

Re: Anticipated PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Looks Absolutely Outstanding in Gameplay Demo

Re: Wax On, Wax Off with This Super Nintendo-Style Karate Kid Beat-'Em-Up for PS5, PS4
16 bit will always be king of this genre, much like the Shmup scene. But this looks promising.

Re: PS5's Astro Bot Doesn't Support PSVR2 Because It Was Never Designed to Do So
@invictus4000 couldn't agree more, if they can't be bothered to bring the new Astrobot to VR2. At least convert resue mission for God's sake!!

Re: PS5's Astro Bot Doesn't Support PSVR2 Because It Was Never Designed to Do So
@TurboTom that's fair enough, the VR2 uses one wire. From headset to usb.

Re: PS5's Astro Bot Doesn't Support PSVR2 Because It Was Never Designed to Do So
@TrickyDicky99 hey I own one, I know exactly where I stand with regards to VR2. Sony has let it sink like PS Vita.
