Not as crazy as them interviewing Fallout London's team lead last month. It's actually pretty cool BBC getting into doing some game stuff like this with an interviewer who is video game literate. Astrobot definitely deserves the recognition.
@@DJChipsandGarlic they won't, because games like these cannot be made in 2 or 3 years. Nintendo themselves don't release Mario 3D every year. Actually the last one, Mario Odyssey, was released in 2017.
This is what 'games' are about for me. Every single level looks like a toy you can interact with like those old plastic cubes with mazes, obstacles, and challenge, getting the ball bearing from one place to another. It's simple, enjoyable and rewarding. Can't wait for more games like this 🤞🏼
@@thomaspickard4138 nintendo make good games but they haven't made a game that looks and plays as good as this in the platforming genre, it does everything better, try it and see for yourself, Mario's next game needs to do something big
No DLC's ??? That is wrong. Games is getting bigger and and new Idea coming every year. Thanks to Internet we can have new content with DLC's without buying new Games. DLC also add as a bonus or for additional games.
@@michaelso5593 Include in sequel ? yeah for another 5 to 10 years? Games is getting bigger and peoples need to makes money as well , do you think all the funs you play coming for free??? DLC is not micro transaction while u protested to have only 60 USD (while everything getting expensive and game developer also need to feed their child) Also there is some cases that some games has free DLCs not all DLC are bad even it helps mitigate mistakes (not all games perfect even during PS1 or PS2 or even PS3 era ) there is some's games that need to be fixed but at that times Internet and DLC is not a thing. DLC is great gift for games that can be enhanced and keeping life for longer times. Blame the quality of games and their policy's not blaming the DLC. You blaming DLC is like u blaming social media when there is some positivity behind it.
Astrobot is such a fantastic mascot: Simple, recognizable design; Easily customizable; Quite expressive; Cute and all ages; High-Tech, so aligning with the digital age... Sony has got something here...
I feel like this game was such as surprise for being this good. Astros playroom was fun but I would have never thought Astrobot would be game of the year contender good. The game of the year seems like it will actually be really close this year.
Reminds me of LittleBigPlanet, specifically the first 2 games in the franchise made by Media Molecule and the immense success it experienced. **hint hint** 👀👀
There's nothing wrong with a multiplayer title as long as it is done well. I love Astro Bot and this style of game, but I don't want it to be the only kind. Variety is a good thing. Live-service can be a good thing but it so often isn't unfortunately.
They were like this with Sony, but people didn't buy games like Gravity Rush 2, The Last Guardian, TearAway, and Puppeteer. Little Big Planet used to be huge.
They have done something like this before with Sackboy and Tearaway. But for some reason, they just started focusing on cinematic games. They are amazing, but SONY has to give us variety
The problem is that this is a different industry. Once the videogame industry became so popular and surpassed holly in terms of being lucrative, everything changed investors arrived and balance was completely lost. Now 99.9% of the goal is maximize profits. Art and labour of love are distant priorities. The problem with this is that Live service games that offer constant revenue are extremely attractive to the big publishers. There's a story about a programmer that worked on a well established and highly rated game, and he stated that his company made way more money ON A SINGLE MICRO TRACTION in a separate live service game, than the money his company did for the traditional game he worked at. Let. That. Sink. In.
That’s the fault of the players. They paid for microtransactions and games as service. But now that seems to be changing again, single player games like BG3, BMW etc have been thriving while games as service have been struggling lately.
God I hope so, I get the logic of being like, oh we've done these games so much that people are over it and we need to hop onto what people are playing (live services) but games like this have become Playstation's brand, people want to be able to EXPECT games like this to be on the platform, and they've been drying up over the years. Gameplay dedicated mascot games are part of PS history, don't drop that to chase trends. I can only hope this industry can rebound from going back to basics
I have to laugh if you think that Sony has taken a bad path, it is a multinational, it always looks for new paths, sometimes it goes well, sometimes it goes bad, but what Sony is, like any other multinational, is to make money, and not we always manage to meet the tastes of the users, it's not the first time they can't make an omelette, but they always have the desire to try.
Well yeah, so why would this article be written about Nintendo. If Nintendo released their own version of a GTA, then that'd probably get a BBC news article
Nintendo doesn't actively compete with XBox or the Playstation. They do their own stuff hence they are still thriving when both XBox and Playstation are floundering badly in their home countries
@@SwiftGifts-ni6qz Even though I'm blind, so the games aren't playable, I love the esthetic and soundtracks so much. Sadly, the Rescue Misssion soundtrack is no longer available on iTunes but Astro's Playroom, and finally, Astro Bot, are, so I grabbed both. the only thing is, can you still get the Rescue Misssion soundtrack? This way my collection would be complete.
Just received my physical copy. I am not surprised, these are the games I want to play, old-school stuff, not too long, platinum trophy friendly, fluent frame-rate, tight controls and most importantly - no teenage-aged opponents over the network. There is a bunch of us who are old enough, without too much free time and with money ready to be spent.
Sony has more of a history of nurturing and growing successful studios, instead of buying them, adding their games to gamepass and closing them when sales drop
I love Astro Bot, it is the first game I bought on release. I struggle to find the time for story games and drop out of them. But this I can do a few levels when I have time and it’s really fun 😊. I will fix his PS5 spaceship and find all his robot friends for sure!
No. Just another thing they do very well. They've been dominating gaming for 30 yrs! They're not looking for a successful formula, think they got that covered.
@@ShanL2604and yet… Helldivers 2🤷♀️ Personally I’ve mixed feelings about Sony and live service, especially when I want more good single player story games
I really hope they can reconfigure and port Rescue Mission to PSVR2, or better yet, make a sequel to it. The new AstroBot is fantastic fun, but it'd be great to have another VR platformer. I miss the two player mode from Playroom VR too where a non-VR player could assist the VR player too using a little UFO.
You give us Jak, Ratchet, Sly and Ape Escape back, and we'll give you money, Sony. It's not hard. Live-service slop isn't what built your foundation and legacy-- fun, colorful, character-driven games are _still_ the games most fondly remembered from you.
When wireless Internet was not so good people would append the word "lyrics" after a song they wanted to hear on TH-cam because a video containing just lyrics would load much quicker than an actual music video. But then, bands started making actual music videos but with lyrics in it.
They did with Hi Fi Rush and then closed the studio. At least they have Doublefine with Psychonauts 2. Tbh, Xbox has been decent at pushing AA and experimental games like Pentiment.
Good to see legacy media interview the Astrobot team asobi lead dev but the interviewer bearly knew what to ask they are the remnants of sonys team japan studio in which imo made playstation what it is today I would of loved to have listened to all the history & knowledge of team asobi along with dev games in Japan compared to the west
Millennials have money to buy old-school games. Also Millennials could care less for online hero shooters with battle passess and all that jazz. It's 2+2 really.
It reminds me in it's design and style of Little Big Planet and Sackboy's Big Adventure there are only a few platformers on PS4 and PS5 like the Spyro and Crash re-makes so it's good to have more of them, perhaps action and fighting games like Call of Duty are a bit tired there's room for more variety and don't forget Sonic the Hedgehog.
WTF..... somehow... i always imagined BBC people as old, clean cut people in suits talking about serious topics.... this is refreshing. Anyway, i hope it sells like hot cakes, because regardless of Quality and critical acclaim, it will only become a lesson for AAA publishers if it manages to make money. 😢
It was a massive mistake for them to invest so much into GaaS. PlayStation's bread and butter has always been single player and interesting, original IP. God of War, Uncharted, Horizon, The Last of Us, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Jak & Daxter, Sly, Ratchet & Clank, Infamous, Killzone, Resistance. The list goes on and on.
Something that Sony has forgotten and Nintendo knows too well is that games are meant to be fun. If it makes you feel happy while playing thats a successful game. Graphics alone won't do that. Hopefully this will turn Sony around as their PS5 exclusives have been pretty poor compared to previous generations.
I feel like the only reason the BBC are covering this is because they suspiciously promoted Dustborn, and now they're acting like they've always covered games.
Please PlayStation wake up and see all the amazing IPS you have that you don’t use.. sly cooper, jak and daxter, sackboy, parappa, mediEvil, ape escape
The question is, are these "back to basics" games financially viable?? Yes theyre well recieved critically but are gamers gonna actually support them? Because it doesnt matter how much praise games like astro bots recieve, if everyone still dumps billions into their favorite live service games thats sends the message that live service is the only viable financial option.
For first party there are bigger considerations than sales numbers. It’s good for PlayStation to have a mascot they can use in marketing and it can be a gateway to PlayStation for women and children that usually go Nintendo. Don’t get me wrong it needs to sell, but this doesn’t need to do GTA numbers, just be received well and turn a profit.
Exactly. There is a reason Japan Studio shut down despite their games being mostly well received. One of the best studios out there, which is now Team Asobiand gamers mostly ignored them. Gamers say they hope the industry takes notes, but they are the ones not supporting these games.
@Drstrange3000 That's all I'm saying but what we have to realize is that all the voices on TH-cam, all these folks saying they want the industry to return to the early 2000s, all the enthusiasts on PC that also supposedly own all consoles are the minority not to mention the TH-cam talking heads many of which don't buy copies, they get free promotional copies. To conclude all those that wanna return to the glory days are an aging, minority population that are very selective & picky about the platforms they play on. The younger generation will play on anything they have no allegiance & they dump billions into their favorite live service franchises so this is why the industry as a whole are gambling with live service rather than the title by title passion projects of the past, these companies have expanded & those at the top want to continually make more money, the execs have an insatiable desire for money & its gonna cause the industry to collapse & have to start over.
Overwatch + The Last of Us + God of War + GTA + Spider-Man are all huge successes, do you even play games or are you just in these gaming streets to whine about your weird bigotries? it's that second one, isn't it?
Lmao you DEI lovers. How about Concord, or Dustborn? All those other games either were pre established with no DEI so people bought the games, or were gonna be bought by shills anyway.
Nicolas came across really well here. The questions were poor but he answered them really well. Love what Team Asobi have done. Just the kind of wonderfully positive game we need in these bleak times
This is what SONY needs to stick to and bring fun back to gaming, stick to the tried and the once trusted way, instead of chasing the "modern" audience, and allowing stupid ideologies to be pushed onto us! After all we buy consoles to play games and have FUN!
Listen to this man, Sony. Back to basics not 12 live services in one year.
Players have to speak with their wallets, only language corporations understand
Sony has released 12 live service games this year?
@@TheMusic4Soulthey've released 2, Helldivers and concord. 3 if you count the destiny expansion.
2 because they took concord back lol.
But they did at one time have 12 live service projects due to release by the end of 2025. But 6 of them got cancelled.
So there's still quite a few more coming.

I mean there's a reason Mario is still selling millions and millions of games.
This game just made history, just like Concord-but on the opposite side
Indeed, arguably Astro's on the right side of history. Hopefully he'll blast into the stratosphere and beyond, as he is one awesome little bot.
Game is astonishing a real family game full of wonder. This will get so many kids on board with gaming, long live king astrobot.
This is what games should be instead of the garbage multiplayer and live service games

bruh...
Gt7 in VR is so amazing. I hope the pro bring some upgrades.

First time in a long time I have purchased a game on release for the asking price. Brilliant. Also picked up the controller and that is stunning.

This is what true gaming is not the monetized Disney Ubisoft trash.... Thank u Nicolas and team for a proper videogame!!!!
The guy and the whole team at Asobi , thank you!. This is the shit everyone is looking for . Well done , just perfect .
Astrobot is the kind of game that got me into gaming. The kind of game that kept me glued to the TV for hours. I absolutely love it.
Best game I’ve played this year without a doubt. I wish more developers would make more use of the Duel Sense. Top top game. Well done👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Brilliant job, Nicolas and the Asobi team. You guys made a once-in-a-generation game.
The question should be can keeping it old school be a lesson for everyone in the gaming industry, not just PlayStation.

baldur's gate 3+Alan wake 2+Horizon forbidden west and the list goes on. Maybe it's not DEI, it's you!
Lmao you DEI lovers. How about Concord, or Dustborn? All those other games either were pre established with no DEI so people bought the games, or were gonna be bought by shills anyway.
Just know that fruits are hated rn 😂 go play dustborn
70 dollars... 💀
Astro Bot is 60 bucks
@@shmackatrotsky5394 still a lot, if it was cheaper I would have bought it, I liked the original but it is def not worth 70 dollars
Nicolas came across really well here. The questions were poor but he answered them really well. Love what Team Asobi have done. Just the kind of wonderfully positive game we need in these bleak times
id love to believe, but sony seems focused on live service stuff that fails horribly still
Jim Ryan made those decisions, make more live service games investments... His decisions will have long term results...
What is going on here? But anyways, I said this before,this is the GOTY!
Id love this game if I was 10 years old..
I'm in my 30s and I love it. You don't have to be a kid to like 3D platformers.
Me and my 6 and 7 all Love the fun and joy that this game bring , aint about the challenge but just pure simple 🎉 FUN 🎉
Wher is phenomenal 3A game 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
I 💙 it 🤖
playstation is doing more than fine 😂
Merci Nintendo
This is what SONY needs to stick to and bring fun back to gaming, stick to the tried and the once trusted way, instead of chasing the "modern" audience, and allowing stupid ideologies to be pushed onto us! After all we buy consoles to play games and have FUN!
