This is easily my most anticipated first party Playstation game since Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.

Yeah this game basically looks like the perfect 3-D platformer experience. Vibrant visuals, smooth performance, exciting fast-paced gameplay, grandiose in its scale, charming, etc. I'm very excited!

Praying this game is a massive success so Sony invests in Astro as their mascot, Team Asobi grows and we get more diverse and unique games with old and new original ip while still keeping the big AAA games.

This looks like PS5’s Mario Galaxy moment. I’m so happy Ash got to play it.

the crossover in excitement between nintendo and sony fans for this game, makes me so happy. really feels like the ps1/n64 days.

I also played the build they had at Evo. I played one level, realized it's exactly the same as Astro's Playroom but more.

Day 1. Exactly what I want. No notes.

At over 50yrs of age, I’ve been a Nintendo fan forever, and I’m as excited for Astro Bot as I’ve ever been for a big 3D Mario. I adored grabbing the platinum in Playroom and I’ll definitely be doing that again for Astro Bot. August 6th cannot come soon enough!

September 2024 is Astro Bot and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

When I first opened Astro’s Playroom, I was immediately impressed with the graphics and how everything was filled with animation and movement. There are so many different little scenes set up, with a tremendous amount of detail on the side as you zoom through the level. The world feels more alive than ever, truly next level.

This game looks so unreal. Honestly, I think I'm most excited about feeling the game through the DualSense. It's an amazing piece of hardware and frankly, no game has made use of it - that I've played, anyway - like Astro's Playroom.

In most other games, it's just confusing. Like, the trigger is fighting me, so am I supposed to just...press it anyway? Is that all we're doing? Adding a little pressure? Okay. Fun.

I’m a XBOX and PS gamer, and this is my most anticipated game of the year. It’s a day 1 purchase, and I’m taking a week off to play it!

John. You really should persue voice acting. Seriously. You've got that voice where you could do just about anything in regards to that profession. Movie trailers, sports announcer, commercials, documentaties, narrator roles, radio. You name it. I'm sure you've probably heard this a thousand times but you should do it man. If that interests you at all of course.

[bendodd]

Astro is going to be a world wide house hold name after this game I feel, its the beginning of a new icon like mario and sonic

[benjaminlopez]

I'm not a Playstation fan whatsoever but hot damn does this look good. I hate how the two most powerful home consoles avoided family friendly games when this is a clear indication that "mature" audiences can appreciate well-made family friendly games.

As someone who grew up on Nintendo, I haven't been this excited since Mario Galaxy.
Buying a PS5 for this

[anasshahid]

Loved Astro’s Playroom, one of the most fun experiences I have had in years, loved the soundtrack too! Astro Bot looks like a major upgrade, the world feels so open, massive bosses, colorful graphics, so excited, picking it up day one. It comes out a week before my birthday 😊

[needsart]

It warms my heart to see a big budget AAA 3D platformer bursting with creativity in the current gaming landscape. This kind of thing seems to only come from Nintendo and indies these days so I'm really glad Team Asobi were given the opportunity to make this into a huge-scale adventure

[HorseJoint]

It’s just the 1st game, but with a Bigger budget and MORE Gameplay we’ve all been wanting. Pre-Ordered it. 2 weeks away😌

[militanthd]

I got the system last year and just finished the playroom……im definitely getting the sequel! What a gem of a game

[lostsauce]

First game trailer to give me goosebumps in a time
