Been thinking about this game recently. Really hope we get another one

m8, everything astro has been absolutely fantastic and the last game sold great and won over a hundred goty awards on a fairly small budget/team size

you gonna see astro again, he's definitely gonna have another "tech demo" for the ps6 as well

>>714491062
>sold great

>>714491062
I do wonder why we haven’t heard any sales since november when sony themselves have said astro is helping sales

>>714490312 (OP)
look at him go

>>714490312 (OP)
I wish they would drop the theme of being a fucking ad for play station and just do their own thing.

>>714491318
those are fantastic numbers for this little faggot

>>714491318
it cost 20 million to make it, 2 million copies is a great return on investment.

>>714491370
Do we really need to get a celebration for every single milestone a game does? I dont get this obsession with the numbers
It continues to get free updates, another this month, that indicates it does well enough

>>714491628
Yes, we need the numbers so we can call it a flop compared to mario

>>714491531
doucet already said they might make something not tied to ps in the future

>>714490312 (OP)
I'm hoping for another full fledged Astrobot game too. It outdid Mario at his own game. Really fun and there's challenge if you want it to with the speed run levels.

>>714491531
I am hoping next game leans more into its own world, I genuinely do find the mechanical galaxy theming charming on its own

>>714490312 (OP)
I can't find this game? Is it on Steam?

>>714490312 (OP)
Gib Steam release

>>714492495
>>714492709
Kek, no

>>714492727

I loved astro bot. I hope it’s success inspires Sony to bring back sly and ape escape maybe even little big planet.

>>714497470
I wish but probably not

>>714497470
They would need small teams to make those games and i don‘t know if sony is willing to outsource their IPs

>>714490312 (OP)
What could they really do in the sequel besides have more Playstation exclusive levels?
It already felt like they were running out of ideas for levels near the end of the first game.

>>714498856
The obvious answer is that they expand astros moveset to allow for more depth. Astro bot is very basic and i‘m surprised they even got as much out of it in terms of interesting levels as they did

>>714498856
Make use of whatever new things the ps6 has, maybe give astro more movement options, and try and do some more open levels

>>714491450

i thought it was the 4th or 5th best 3d platformer that year. really simple movement mechanics, mostly just setpieces and gimmicks. it basically plays itself, like a series of cutscenes. it required almost no input from the player.

if you play 3d platformers to have fun moving around and to explore and to enjoy mechanical complexity and freedom of expression, it was a pretty bad game. games from that year like yellow taxi vroom, penny breakaway, and big catch tacklebox all had real movement mechanics to offer the player, and were all pretty neat.

I can understand why astrobot was popular with the normie crowd though. Normies don't like videogames with mechanics, they just wanna watch cutscenes, and astrobot gave them that

>>714500793
I honestly think we’re starting to reach a point where people are just missing more simple and linear 3d platformers

>>714501097
Probably, since it worked for Astrobot. Although the memberberries might have been more important to its success there, and linear 3D platforming was simply an acceptable-enough medium through which to administer copius amounts of references and memberberries

>>714500793
Why do speedruntrannies that are obsessed with movement pretend that they like platformers

>>714501948
i wonder why people who just want cutscene slop pretend to like platforming as well

>>714490312 (OP)
I finished it when it came out and didn't think about it since.

>>714493783
I live for this bodytype.

>>714502117
So every mario game is a shit platformer because they are simple and easy?

>>714490312 (OP)
Thanks for making this thread because it reminded me the next batch of levels comes out next Thursday.

:OOOOO

>>714502182
mario 64, mario sunshine and mario galaxy all had a decent amount of depth, they weren't simple. Those were all good platformers.

I also enjoyed mario 3d land and mario 3d world even though they were heavily simplified and shallow

Galaxy and Galaxy 2 were shit, just cutsceneslop again like Astrobot

>>714502425
Are they still launching staggered or all at once

>>714502564
mario 64, mario sunshine and *mario odyssey*

>>714502592
So far just says july 10 so I assume we'll get them at once this time

>>714502541
Yes because PS platformers aren't shit. Hope this helps.

>>714502564
I think you just value more movement options to fuck around with than i do which explains why you didn‘t like the galaxy games and astro bot but i wouldn‘t say the level design of the games you mentioned is much better

>>714502149
but that's a boy...

>>714503986
Not tonight that bot isn't.

I don’t. They didn’t even let me change the ultra slow camera speed.

>>714490312 (OP)
I just beat the third world. I was very nostalgic when they had the Ape Escape level as a reward for beating the first world. Then they had God of War which was rather odd, considering the two new games haven't been around that long. Then they had Nathan Drake level. Not my cup of tea but I can imagine it hyping people up.

Then I realized the next two 'reward' levels are going to be likely something like Horizon Zero Dawn and Last of Us... Damn SIE for going for going for the movie games and recently multiplayer shooter flops and killing most platformers.

>>714498637
Theoretically they could let Team Asobi create a new Ape Escape game if they thought it'd create enough hype and weren't planning to milk them with Astro Bot or some retarded exec project.

>>714500793
What are some platformers that you do like then? I liked astro bot it was fun.

>>714490312 (OP)

>>714500793
Last year there was also Lorn's Lure. From a game design perspective it was a much more memorable game than AB.

>>714502541
more like on /v/

>mediocre 3d platformer with mario character

Astro Bot is the best game I've ever played desu, had a smile on my face the entire time

happiness is what this game is about

It's a celebration of history and characters. /v/ and tendies jack off to Smash bros. all the time
