Crash was never owned by Sony. The only reason the first 3 games & Crash Team Racing were PlayStation exclusive was because of a deal between Sony, Universal Interactive (the real Crash owners at the time) and Naughty Dog.
I love Astro Bot. While he probably wont be the PS mascot forever if the past is any indication, he's definitely who I think of when I think of my PS5 and has had the best use of its hardware and unique features that I've experienced so far. Hell, it wouldn't even be a stretch to assume that even the console design itself was inspired by the little guy.
Astro bot actually feels like a mascot ngl. All the other characters are part of a franchise that doesn't have to do with Playstation in general. However, Astro Bot is litterally a character who lives in a PS5 and soars across the Playstation dimensions.
If Snake is really is Sony PlayStation character he should be the head mascot for PlayStation and Cloud should be the secondary mascot for PlayStation just like Link
I would say Kratos is the face of Playstation because of how long God of War has stuck around when other series like Jak and Uncharted got phased out eventually. They haven’t really had a mascot they stuck with since the developers move on to new series all of the time.
I do think Kratos is definitely one of their many faces from over the years, but astro bot being introduced alongside vr AND being given the tie in game with the ps5 feels like they wanna have their cake and eat it too, they wanna remember their past faces and honor them all with the help of Astro
with that reasoning ratchet and clank would fit better they've been aorund about just as long and have WAY more games and are still relevant and even have a movie
I guess the company only had faces like for example Nathan Drake, Kratos, Astro Bot, Ratchet, Jak and Daxter, Yknow PlayStation Exclusives. But these characters never really served as a mascot for their company. I think the polygon man was the mascot because it showed the capabilities of the original PlayStation but that was back then. I like to imagine all these characters served as unofficial PlayStation mascots just to show the capabilities of each PlayStation console. To me, Crash Bandicoot will always be the PlayStation mascot in my eyes, even though he’s owned by Xbox along with Spyro lol.
As much as I love Crash, Spyro, Astro Bot, Nathan Drake and sorta like Kratos, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter and Sackboy (I am pretty indifferent about Toro tho) Parappa will be the mascot in my heart, cause he is special to me not only as a franchise but even as a character 💖
Great vid! I really hope one of the doko demo issyo games gets some kind of new english translation soon, though it isn't likely. Some corrections incase you didn't get them yet: - Spyro isn't a playable character in PS all stars - Toro did actually become a guest character in street fighter X tekken Good luck at growing your channel!
I wish toro and or kratos were both mascots at the same time to kind of represent both the silly side of playstation with weird and cute quirky games (toro and maybe sackboy) and the serious more mature cinematic games (kratos and maybe nathan drake or hell even some bloodborne character if sony one day locks the fuck in) or maybe i just really like toro and kratos and i want morr toro inoue games that arent exclusive to japan idfk
Unlike companies like Nintendo, Sega, and Xbox who have a defined mascot like Mario, Sonic, and Master Chief, it seems like the unofficial mascot of PlayStation changes with each generation. In the ps1 era it was Crash Bandicoot, in the ps2 era it was Kratos, in the ps3 era it was Sackboy, and in the ps4 and current ps5 era it’s Astro bot.
I always wished Toro Doko had more of a chance in the west! I was introduced to him because I made a Japanese playstation account back in the ps3 days to explore the exclusive PS Home worlds and when Sonys servers went down, they we're giving out free games,.Toro Doko was one of them, Idk what the game was called, and I couldn't understand a single word, But I was so charmed and had fun with the game regardless, it felt like animal crossing, and I think had they gave him a shot outside of japan he could have been successful 🎉
I love kratos and i love ratchet and all the other characters but you can’t deny that Astro isn’t the perfect mascot, he makes it clear as day that hes there to represent playstation in his Design , he pays homage to all the heroes before him and is overall just really cute and marketable, i love ratchet as much as the other guy but if you put them side by side a kid would def think that the robot that’s designed to look like a ps5 would be the mascot for playstation
After Astro Bot, it’s been clear that it’s being marketed as the true mascot of PlayStation. I don’t think any character before has been able to place themselves as mascots for the brand. At least, not like Crash and Spyro did for the PS1 before Universal ended their deal with Sony.
I'm so excited for Astro Bot. Astro also made an appearance before his VR game too with the playroom on ps4 where you can mess about with the DS4's features, one f them had a bunch of astro bots inside the controller and you could hear them as you move the controller around and see on screen what they are doing inside the controller
3:55 and this is where I play my piece, Gran Turismo has always been a Playstation exclusive and usually one of the highest sellers on every generation's system, why can't the Castrol Supra, or the Yellow Evo, for example, be the Playstation mascot?
Pikachu isn't always being the worst mascot as well as Kantonian Meowth mentioned our Earth but unfortunately kantonian Meowth might be descendants of us as well
In order for something to be consider a mascot, it must make an appearance on all, if not, most consoles and it must be an exclusive. Gran turismo is the only exclusive that has appeared on all home consoles but didn't appeared on the vita. That makes gran turismo PlayStation's main mascot. A close contender is the wipeout series making an appearence on all home consoles and handheld consoles but has yet to appear on ps5. However, wipeout didn't started as an exclusive because the first 2 games where multiplatform.
It has to be either ratchet and clank or kratos. Both have been consistently active with new mainline games on every generation of PlayStation since PS2.
@@danielthao6982 how does gran Turismo even have anything to do with a mascot conversation? Who are you exactly proposing as the Mascot of PlayStation? What character from those games?
@@codyadams3051 the entire gran Turismo brand as a whole is PlayStation's mascot. It may not have any characters but it does have its fair share of iconic cars like the Castrol Tom's supra.
As a PSVR2 user, knowing that the new Astro Bot game isn't at all VR related is incredibly sad. They haven't even ported the PSVR1 Astro Bot game over to the new hardware. It would be incredible to have PSVR2 support added to the new game later on after its initial success to show love to Astro's origins.
Honestly, crash might have been the mascot for Playstation in the 1990s, there is one obvious character that might take the crown. And yes, I’m talking about Astro Bot. How Astro bot is being used a lot lately and the fact he has his own pre-installed tech demo for the ps5 to show you what the ps5 is capable of, Astro bot might eventually be the face of ps.
Unlike Nintendo or Xbox, PS was known for different series in each generation. The constant with Nintendo and xbox consoles from their very start has been Mario and Master Chief (halo). Every gen, they were some of the most popular titles for their respective consoles. PS though, has crash for ps1. PS2, id say was ratchet and clank. Ps3 probably Nathan drake, and for 4, I’d go with kratos. This in part due to his legacy, and also him being a lot more distinguishable than Eli from LOU. If not for his legacy, it would have probably gone to Aloy. Though finally, it seems like they’re trying to make a mascot and actually use it (unlike the Japanese on, which I do miss). But PS compared to other companies, didn’t have one sole mascot. They were more like shonen jump for example and the big 3. Luffy, Naruto and Ichigo weren’t mascots, but they played a huge role in identifying the brand. Now, the identifiable figures are Yuji, midiruya, and… still luffy. And we see how ps releases at least 2 new series each green, that become hallmarks for their gen. Recent ones being LOU and uncharted for PS3, and 4 having horizon and tsushima. It’ll be interesting to see if Astro bot becomes a part of this trend, and is huge for ps5, but fades out with 6, or will hold its ground
Sucks they confined Astro to VR only. It is a good current mascot for PS tho Also stumbled on this channel today, good thing it'll help me pass my shift tonight. Lastly, nice videos
Funnest thing is crash bandicoot is now an Xbox mascot since Microsoft who owns the Xbox brand acquired Activision Blizzard, who owned the Crash bandicoot and Spyro the dragon series since Universal ownes the rights to both Crash and Spyro. Then universal merged with vivendi and created Universal Vivendi Games, then just Vivendi Games. Vivendi Universal sold off Vivendi Games to Activision and then they combined info Activision Blizzard. The blizzard part came from Vivendi Games ownes blizzard entertainment.
Everyone forgets that Parappa The Rapper was playstation first mascot, i know that Crash Bandicoot is released before Parappa but Parappa has been mascot before Crash Bandicoot took over his position (at least in japan).
Wood say that Ratchet and clank are the mascots for ps since its the franchise that has been around the longest since 2002 and over multiple console generations
Even to this day we still don’t really have a Sony mascot they just kinda choose what want that day I would like to imagine that Astro bot is the closest thing we have but only time will tell if they stick or not
If Sony had played their cards right, they could have bought Crash, Spyro, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Tekken, Persona, Yakuza and Kingdom Hearts.
If it hadnt been for street fighter x tekken i dont think anyone in the west would've ever heard of kuro and toro and quickly forgot about them thereafter lol 😅
Astro Bot is mascot from playstation but not entirely because Toro Inoue is still everywhere in hq playstation and sony in Japan... It's Sony Cat as a name, Astro Bot is only for playstation not for Sony.
I think it's great that they don't have a mascot. I think a mascot only oversimplifies/stereotypes what the actual company represents. Mario represents Nintendo just as Mickey for Disney, but while the companies offer anything for the common family, others just think about how "BING BING/Ha ha" they are unless they get to know them a little better. Playstation likely cycles through characters, but their slogans "It only does everything/Play has no limits" only imply that their main goal is to appeal to everyone in suit to their specific tastes. Not everyone wants Kratos' grit, but prefer the whimsy of Ratchet and vice versa. It also doesn't help that those characters hardly stick around most of the time between generations
Sackboys death was kinda horrible Littlebigplanet 3 had a new studio behind it And the game wasnt that good and was taken advantage of(sony forced to rush it) And it didnt have a good story And no new Littlebigplanet games came out,and the ps4 no backwards compatibility stranded out the previous lbp games to the ps3 And Littlebigplanet was beginning to fall off before hackers shut down the servers And then the community was working hard to keep the game alive Until the servers shut down and the community waited patiently until the servers were officially dead
This has been a problem with Sony and Playstation brand since the beginning. They dont have staple franchises that they build up over time like Nintendo does. Playstation makes some solid franchises and then abondons them after one generation, with very few exceptions. This is where Nintendo gets it right, and Sony drops the ball. Sony needs to learn to make solid and popular franchises, and then continue to keep supporting those solid and popular franchises, building them with quality games over time, instead of just throwing them away each generation, and starting all over again with totally brand new IPs. You cant build staple popular franchises that sell 30 million copies with each iteration, if you keep abandoning your solid and popular IPs after each generation. Until Sony learns this, they are never going to have staple IPs that rival Nintendo's staple IPs in terms of sales and popularity. If they are smart, then they will take advantage of their recent Astro Bot success, and do their best to make it into their staple Mario-like IP, which they can continue to build up with more quality games, and keep the IP continously around, from generation to generation.
I think each Playstation console has its own mascot. Ps1: crash bandicoot. Ps2: it is hard to decide ,but possibly ratchet and clank.This generation is crazy. Each game says I am the mascot. CJ is the mascot 🫠. PSP: ape escape academy. Ps3: little big planet(sackboy) or nathan drake. It is a bad generation for platform games. Ps move: does this have a mascot? Ps vita:??? It doesn't have games. Maybe terraway unfolded. Ps4: sackboy? Ps vr1: astrobot? Ps5: astrobot. Ps vr2: none until now.
Not bad, however, the next will be waiting for ps5 new games 2 or 4 Month And another question ps5 New program ps2 or psp or Dandy or Sega or Nintendo 64 And then Xbox or Xbox 360 🤔
I would say it’s ratchet he has been around the longest since ps never really owned crash so who else should it be astro bot is just coming so it’s not him ijs that’s who the mascot is for ps but it will definitely be astro bot in the near future 💯
Pikachu Powers was inspired non animal Planet At all LoL 😂 but Pikachu Powers was supposed to be the villain of the series You know anyways but Pikachu Powers always causing problems because of Mankei Neko always save the Man from Pikachu you know
Crash Bandicoot in the PS1 era alongside Spyro the dragon best mascots in my opinion it doesn't feel right losing Crash to Microsoft & him & Spyro never being in playstation all-stars smash clone Sackboy is the PS3 era Astro Bot is the current Mascot I like Astro Bot he cool.
Lack of Mascot Pikachu being useless in the battle of the region At all duh 🙄 but unfortunately kung Fu Panda isn't suitable for the mascot either way anyways kantonian Meowth isn't One of those Pokemon and such As Pikachu
Crash Bandicoot becoming Xbox is one of the biggest betrayals in gaming history

Sly Cooper 😁
Need for Speed was never an Xbox game. It was only on PC and Playstation before it hit other consoles. 2:09
Xbox also came out a year after the PS2. 😂
Astro bot is a masterpiece 👌 👏 🙌 ✨️ 💙🥶🧊🍷🗿
