Remember Team Asobi has already stated that they will be adding free DLC. Meaning those PlayStation characters that you say are missing could mean they could show up in said DLC.
I mean in general with PlayStation Studios games this generation, they always add at least a free update and they have been consistently good, so I expect the same for this game.
they actually did already on Astros playroom that I didn't even notice, got the plat when I first got it and just noticed now that they added an extra area
It looks really cool. So many games have been trying to be realistic, super deep, or super challenging. I can appreciate something that reminds me of the simpler days.
I mean... Most games are super easy and essentially just a script you follow these days, this game is no exception. What's very rare nowadays are challenging games that don't tell you what to do, I really miss that type of game.
Putting playroom on the ps5 was imo one of the smartest things ever. When you get a new console you want to PLAY like right NOW and downloading games can take hours so having something fun and easy that was ready immediately was so smart. Im not surprised at all astro got a full game and i cant wait to play it down the line
This evokes the same feelings LittleBigPlanet did on the PS3 back in the days. I'm still sad they killed off LBP, but Astro Bot looks like just a good time. No caveats, just a good old, high quality platformer. We need more of this level of polish and creativity!
Shame they didn't have the controller plugged into the player 2 port there. For a game whose whole purpose is the history of Playstation and it's games, I feel like that was a big oversight.

@tomblade what are you playing games for if not to have fun? I would pay $80 for this game. It's so perfectly fine tuned for joy and fun. The graphics are incredible, the level design is impeccable, the music is catchy -- everything about this game is just absolutely a delight. If there's any game worth paying $60 for, it's this. Stuff this good does not come out often.
@@hex1233I'm playing the first one and while it is hard to get used to at first, it's really fun! Kat is so cool and the story chugs along nicely. I really really wish I had the Vita, but glad they remastered for console.
Is no one else upset at the lack of VR? Astro Bot was the only VR game I played that made the best use of the 3D space, and really brought the game to a whole new level. If you haven’t played the original in VR I highly recommend it. I’m actually really sad 2024 Astro Bit doesn’t have it, because they did such an amazing job with it
I loved the Vr version, it was very polished and having to physically dodge obstacles or enemy attacks while also needing Astro to dodge different ones was an amazing experience.
@@badz1497I can’t stand raytracing. Too much of a performance cost. The resolution of these games drop so low to have it it’s not even worth it. Astro looks better than most games this gen
I can't believe how much I love Astro's Playroom. The walkthrough of Sony's history in games, the details, loved it. I'm so excited to play this game!!!!
10:53 "Other than Playroom, I've never really cared about this little mascot..." I've never heard or seen Astro anywhere other than Astro's Playroom & Astro Bot. And this is coming from someone who played Astro's Playroom, has had a PS5 since (almost) launch and all the previous PlayStation consoles. Was Astro in other games? In some ad or something? I feel like I'm out of the loop here.

Remember Jake, they are likely to add some DLC, those other franchises you noted they ommitted may be a part of that. This game looks so fun, Astros Playroom is fantastic as well. Waiting on my physical copy and plushy of Astro 🙂
Im a Doom/Gears of War/Resident Evil kind of gamer and this game ROCKS...thanks for this video. Wouldve glossed over the game had i not watched. Kudos!
This just looks like a game that is fun and that's what games are supposed to be, FUN (when did games forget that) This has heart, passion and a ton of reverence to PlayStation's past, You can tell Team Asobi love PlayStation's history as much as we do with the Astro Bot series and i can't wait to receive my copy tomorrow, i'll also just say, i want a certain character to appear as a bot version so i hope he's there :)
@phant0mdummy apparently your in the minority. Or an xbox console cult warrior. It's ok though. Just because a great game comes out on a console your trained to dislike you can still play it
VR playroom was pretty cool to explore back on PS4 VR, and I only recently heard about the whole Astro thing. Played Astro's Playroom and got the platinum within 2 days, bought Astro bot and got the platinum with 23h of game time. Super fun games, challenging in all the right ways, they have all the information you need to know what and where, yet it doesn't feel like an ubisoft checklist game. Fantastic experience :)
When this game was announced I was more excited about the soundtrack. Astro has awesome music in the VR game and the ps5 techdemo. I play a lot of the songs on my playlists daily
Best vr platformer, I was hyped for it and usually that leads to some disappointment but not with Rescue Mission, it was so much better than I could imagine. I hope they are getting people excited about the franchise before they release the remastered version (to sell more psvr2s) but might be wishful thinking.
I just bought this for my 9 year old son we were so hyped to see a full length game he's a good kid who does his best at school and he will be so hyped seeing it waiting for him today after school

I’m excited that Jake is back with another episode of before you buy a show where he gives you some straight up gameplay and his first impressions of the latest games
Regarding difficulty, I adore difficult platformers, however, this game like the first two AB games, just scratches this different kinda of itch. These games are pure pleasure. I recommend it 100%. Actually 100% is a good way of describing it. This is a game made to be completed. Something like Crash 4 was fun and definitely more hard, but very few people would bother to 100% it, even me. Whereas a game like this gives you the same amount, or more, gameplay as 99% would tease out of Crash, but in the end you finish everything and are satisfied and in a great mood.
@MisterFeltz I'm glad you're enjoying it! I think people are being a little harsh. I remember Lies of P was scoring 7 and 8s, and I was one of my all-time favorites. It made me sad when I couldn't totally commit to Elden Ring... I felt like there was something was wrong with me. But you know, we like what we like! We are all different. It would be a boring world if we all like the same things.
Man those Nintendo type games are so good to look at and play, I'm way too old for this but somehow i got super hyped for it the second i saw the reveal trailer
I bought it last night, and I'm enjoying it so much. There's so much hidden. You can enjoy it without finding every little secret, but for those of us so inclined- the little secrets and hidden things are the greatest part. It's not OVERLY complicated, but it's challenging.
i love that this game pays homage to playstation's history there's alot of cameos, easter eggs and references. it's just so cool seeing ps1 characters finally showed some love. playstation needs to have more games like this and they need to do a sequel to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
Don't worry I ain't buying this garbage extended tech demo. I'd rather play a real platformer with an actual identity and personality of its own. Not something drowning in corporate and nostalgia. This gotta be one of the most generic looking mascots for a video game I've seen in a while.
Astrobot game at PS5’s launch is still one of the few that uses the controller and consoles full strengths, really looking forward to this

There are plenty of Bloodborne references, even one that parries you constantly whenever you try to hit the robot.
Regarding difficulty, I adore difficult platformers, however, this game like the first two AB games, just scratches this different kinda of itch. These games are pure pleasure. I recommend it 100%. Actually 100% is a good way of describing it. This is a game made to be completed. Something like Crash 4 was fun and definitely more hard, but very few people would bother to 100% it, even me. Whereas a game like this gives you the same amount, or more, gameplay as 99% would tease out of Crash, but in the end you finish everything and are satisfied and in a great mood.
Basically Astro's Playroom but bigger
Its so much bigger that it doesnt do it justice to compare with the first, not at all
I honestly love seeing genuinely good games come out. It’s so refreshing to see❤️
SW: Outlaws, Space Marine 2, and Astro Bot?! Too many games I want to play.
Everything except outlaws
I’d say wait on outlaws to go on sale in a month or 2 you will thank me later
Wait on outlaws. It's probably worth $30-$40. From reviews, the quality is just subpar.
@@IamKaleboywhy, have you played it? I have and it’s fun
@MisterFeltz I'm glad you're enjoying it! I think people are being a little harsh. I remember Lies of P was scoring 7 and 8s, and I was one of my all-time favorites. It made me sad when I couldn't totally commit to Elden Ring... I felt like there was something was wrong with me. But you know, we like what we like! We are all different. It would be a boring world if we all like the same things.
Man those Nintendo type games are so good to look at and play, I'm way too old for this but somehow i got super hyped for it the second i saw the reveal trailer
Shut up and take my money 💵
people like you are the reason why games are more and more expensive
@@tomblade It’s okay, I have enough money.
@@tombladeare you that dense?
I bought it last night, and I'm enjoying it so much. There's so much hidden. You can enjoy it without finding every little secret, but for those of us so inclined- the little secrets and hidden things are the greatest part. It's not OVERLY complicated, but it's challenging.
Here’s hoping there will be a pc port eventually🤞
Wish more games like this were still being put out. This takes be back and puts a smile on my face
Before you buy, unsubscribe from that one annoying channel that has been posting videos of this game every minute for the last 24 hours lol
i love that this game pays homage to playstation's history there's alot of cameos, easter eggs and references. it's just so cool seeing ps1 characters finally showed some love. playstation needs to have more games like this and they need to do a sequel to
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
Yeah… just don’t
Bought it!
This is giving me massive childhood vibes. Haven’t enjoyed a game this way for a very long time ❤
Don't worry I ain't buying this garbage extended tech demo. I'd rather play a real platformer with an actual identity and personality of its own. Not something drowning in corporate and nostalgia. This gotta be one of the most generic looking mascots for a video game I've seen in a while.
Bro
I love this game. The powerups are fun and the vocalizations are adorable.
