if it’s on the level of any new Mario game, no reason for it not to be full price.
realistically I don’t think it will be 70

realistically I don’t think it will be 70
The game has no business being $70. It's literally gonna cut it off it's legs right at the start. It's the first major Astro game as well...
Ratchet on PS4 became the best selling in the franchise thanks partly to it being priced at $40, it made the game accessible to all, and many didn't blink twice to consider the price.
It would do very well at $50 but knowing Sony it'll be $70 (i'm still buying it cause it looks great)
$40 to $50 max seems reasonable.
Honestly is there any other game that will get goty? It seems like Helldivers 2, Astro Bot & Final Fantasy 7 rebirth are stamp for this year.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Team Asobi & Astro Bot get GOTY show PS to release more platform & $40-$50 games not everything has to be AAA $70 40 hours games.
Sadly this doesn't translate to sales most of the times, I truly wish it sells like a 3D mario game but considering the tastes of PS gamers this one has a truly uphill battle
Announcement just 3-4 months before release is just perfect. It should be this way for all games.
Why? That's how you end up with multiple years without anything being announced and disappointing sales. The next step from that is to shadow drop games to save on market and send them to death.
Being announced early didn't stop BG3, Elden Ring, ToTK, TLoU Pt2, etc from being great and selling extremely well.
The most ambitious game of the studio to date.

How 'Astro Bot' game taps into PlayStation multiverse (exclusive)
'Astro Bot' is getting its first full-fledged platform game for the PS5. Team Asobi exclusively tells EW how it's packed full of PlayStation universe Easter eggs.
I can see where his coming from.
Building the astro bot world with it's own characters would help it have it's own identity.
It doesn’t really need its own identity
Its identity is the non-mario AAA 3d platformer that serves as sonys Smash Bros/Kingdom Hearts
He’s still fighting mostly original enemies and bosses also
In what world is a AAA 3D platformer not worth $70? You guys are then going to turn around and complain about third person narrative games.
Astro has always been a PlayStation robot from 2013. His universe exists within the PlayStation ecosystem. I think it's a brilliant way to tap into anything PlayStation related without it being out of place, while also giving them the ability to create new potential iconic characters within the universe too.
Just say you wanna be mad about something because the thread is actually too positive for once.
Not mad, I just disagree. I see this game as a direct competitor to Mario, I spent $60 on Wonder, I can sure as hell spend $70 on Astro. I think this game will be worth every last penny!Just say you wanna be mad about something because the thread is actually too positive for once.
