They also didn’t have much confidence in Helldivers 2, but they did in Concord. Lol Shows you how out of touch modern PS is.
Sony has a lot of confidence on Astro more than Concord tho? What are y'all even on about? They've been pushing this game for the past 2 months

What are you talking about? I wasn’t talking about Astro. I was saying they had more confidence in Concord over Helldivers.

Sad to say. But most PS fans don’t care about Astro Bot. The game doesn’t even have 2M views on the PS YouTube channel. PS fans have been conditioned to buy mature 3rd person action adventure games. If this game doesn’t sell, I don’t want to hear complaints about Japan Studio’s closure again.
It was created by 65 devs in 3 years, 2M sold would sound like a big success.

0 hype. I'm honestly considering putting my PS5 away for the rest of the year until Marathon or Arc Raiders releases. Astro Bot looks painfully boring to me personally.
"Painfully boring?"

An abundance of rich worlds to explore, amazing boss fights, some of the best use of haptics of any game to date, a love affair with past characters and games from the Sony universe, and you call it painfully boring?


Gtfo of here.

Well, I am extremely excited. It's just the type of game I need to change things up.

Seems like pure fun and I loved the way the last game played, I just wanted more.

The boss battles look awesome.

Why would they want to hear from pc players... Doesn't even make sense for this to be there.

There's a real obsession over porting there ATM.

Games like this are truly why i fell in love with Gaming.

It's that sense of magic, exploration and discovery, and it looks like it has it in spades.

When they were first asked about PC they said the game is designed for PlayStation and wouldn’t really fit anywhere else.

Now they say this bullshit? It’s almost as if some higher executives are forcing developers to put games on PC.

Pre-ordered from Smyths in Ireland (Home Delivery). The fuckers have a great history of sending out the game a day or two earlier.🏆
