Do you think astrobot will leave much of a legacy?

not really no honestly
it's better known for its PS5 tech demo bundle-in and both the tech demo and the full game are a depressing graveyard of playstation's glory years and a whole lot of stolen valor (claiming a metric fuckton of capcom and konami games as "playstation")

Little big planet was more of game of a generation than Astro bot

>>720274275 (OP)
It's an ok game, and definitely has some impressive technology, but overall not that memorable or special to play. While it aims to be a "celebration of Playstation history" it genuinely just feels like an elaborate advertisement for the console I'm already playing it on. Just makes you wonder what the point is.

i think what irked me the most about astro bot was it's mostly an ad for the PS5, but the PS5 is kind of aesthetically dead-air compared to previous generations of playstation even without nostalgia as a factor
the PS5 is not a sexy console at all

lol no
Astrobot was an interesting blip. Mario is the face of a whole fucking entertainment industry. No, Astrobot won't get close to something like that.

It was just memberberries and unoriginal platforming mechanics.

>>720274275 (OP)
Well, it was a better platformer than any Nintendo has made since the Wii. But the bar isn't that high really.

>>720274275 (OP)
No. Nothing about that game is appealing to me behind the fact that I find it funny that it’s a graveyard of dead ips. Astrobot feels like the most astroturfed game in a while.

>>720274275 (OP)
The hype behind Astrobot was because they had already thrown millions at promoting Concord and had to repurpose that ad money on the fly when it turned out that nobody wanted Concord

>>720274275 (OP)
There has never been a better feeling game to play. Would be nice if more developers would learn lessons there. The depth of the mechanics and how flexible they are for different calibers of player is also commendable. It's a rare game that occurs maybe once every 10 years. Heights Nintendo could only wish to reach.

>>720274592
seemed more like a graveyard showing off all the IPs Sony used to have that are long dead to me.

>>720274275 (OP)
No modern games will have a legacy because they are all defacto soulless and played by aging men trying to chase the dragon while kids just play Fortnite slop and gacha

>>720274275 (OP)
not really. unless new astrobot content gets continually bundled for free with future consoles.
I think the real test of time is how nostalgic kids get for astrobot in say 10-15 years when the PS8 releases

I love Astrobot because it tells me what Nintendo fans would actually think of Mario games if not for the Mario branding
>they'd fucking hate them
Imagine playing games because there's a fat Italian plumber in them rather than because you like how they play lmao

>>720275819
Didn't read; you lost btw

>>720274275 (OP)
I legit think the praise has inadvertently hurt this game’s reputation. If you actually play it, you’ll find a really fun 3d platformer with the amount of polish you’d find in a 3d mario game but one that doesn’t really try anything too original.

>>720275819
I’m a nintendo fan and I love astro bot, bought a ps5 just for it. I just like cute cartoony platformers

>>720276309
Unlike 3D Mario games that are claimed to be the best games of all time but are basic 3D platformers for kids with half baked gimmicks if you're lucky

>>720274456
Lbp being dead seems the dumbest out of all the dead platforming series sony owns when stuff like minecraft, fortnite, and roblox show that there’s a large child fanbase you can garner from games like it. Hell, I was a nintendo fan through and through when I was a kid though lbp had to be the one game that made me want to switch.

>>720274275 (OP)
Everyone already forgot about it. K.Rool in Bananza had more impact than Astro Bot. Never mind the oroborous that is silksong and clair obscur feeding off of each other.

>>720274275 (OP)
astro bot is the biggest industry plant game this gen next to horizon but at least that sold well

How many people in this thread have actually played the game

Bump

>>720274275 (OP)
The only PS5 exclusive is a legacy.

>>720276834
I did. It's fine, solid 7/10. Gameplay is very mediocre, 70% of the game is way too easy, but the developers put a lot of cute interactions and fanservice into the game that makes it great for people that don't actually like games (lmao).

Honestly a complete joke that this got game of the year. It can't even compete 30 year old Mario Titles.

>>720276834

No. Nobody gives a shit about the game when it's not advertised and it's just a generic 3d platformer advertising Snoy products in your face. People still enjoy super mario 64 all these decades later.

>>720274275 (OP)
Isn't that like the only game of note on the PS5?

>>720278873
Yes lol. It's legitimately the only thing resembling an actual game on the snoy platform, that's why they got so mindblown.

>>720274275 (OP)
Once it gets a PC or Switch2 port Snoys will say Astrobot was always a shit gay baby game
