Astro Bot | Review Thread

[Petekilla]

This is why MS always fails with Xbox and their fans end up disappointed from fantasy hopes and dreams.

Having all those IP characters doesn’t mean you can replicate the success of Astrobot. Those characters already exist for years. MS didn’t creat them. They just own them now.

You can’t throw them all together, or creat a single game, and expect to make some huge 95 metacritic global million selling IP. That’s not how it works.

Sony created Astrobot. It’s a brand new character. Same way Nintendo created Mario. Astrobot also celebrates all the first and 3rd party games that appeared on PlayStation since 1994. MS cannot do that with Xbox.

Instead trying to imitate other successful brands and games. MS needs to go make their own new IP with its own ideas and worlds. Spending $80B on publishers doesn’t do that.

Exactly. MS doesn’t have a studio on the level of Team Asobi that create a game like Astro. They can make a platformer, but it won’t be Mario/Astro tier.

Yes for 2024, it has passed College Football 25 in sale's on Amazon. This tells me lots of parents are getting this, normally only Switch games sale this good on Amazon.

That's hard to believe. I'm thinking the game came out today and they are still adjusting stuff behind the scenes so it's not 100% accurate

Astro Sales exploded on PSN yesterday so, I def think Amazon isn't tallying total sales for Astro Bot as yet but it's just a reflection of the fact it's outselling College Football Now.

Keep the thread on topic please; we don't need the Xbox fanboy rubbish clogging up the thread.

There are other threads for that.

The Bot of War level is extraordinary. I had a big smile on my face from beginning to end. I’d pay full price for a full bot of war DLC.

The music during that level, I really think rebirth has some serious competition for sound design and audio

Just 10 minutes in and loving it already. The game has a lot of traction on social media right now and is the best selling game on many Amazon stores.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Nintendo have used this model for decades now. Car companies during the design phase do the same. Small group stuck together for years.

It's really just how games used to get made

Everyone doing a bit of everything

If you thought that level was good, the level you play after you beat the chameleon boss is nostalgia filled.

Square is dumb. They allow Nintendo to put square characters in Smash. But don’t allow Sony to put their characters in Astro.
