For all the people who are reluctant to buy PSVR just for one game, here's a solution - buy more than one game. It's not like PSVR is completely devoid of quality titles to try out.
Astro Bot (PSVR) Review Thread
- Thread starter LifeLine
- Start date
I don't see that many 'must play' games for the device. I just hear RE7 and its VR mode and maybe, Moss cited as examples of good VR experience but that isn't enough imo to justify spending money on the device. Money isn't really an issue; its just that the device isn't compelling enough to purchase in its own right imo, without actually having tried the device myself. I imagine quite a few people are in the same boat.
89 aggregate on MC even though its excelent is not a score that reflects the same order of influence or magnitude that Super Mario 64 had back in its time. In 20 years no one will remember about Astro Bot the same cannot be said about SM64.
I can understand that its a good VR game but it´s all that is a good VR game not an era defining game.

SM64 is my favorite game of all time and no other game will replicate the feeling i had when trying SM64 for the first time hence the comment above :)
The list of quotes containing the word "Mario" is pretty arbitrary and hilarious. Not sure how the question "Is this the Mario 64 of gaming?" is answered by "This mechanic reminded me of the original Super Mario Bros. because you couldn't move back in that either."
Console exclusives aren't always about selling the most copies but instead giving their platform unique experiences that add to its worth.
Gonna definitely get this. Haven't touched my PSVR in almost a year so will be fun to jump back in.
I hope 20 years from now Times Square is replaced with a giant memorial to Astro Bot.
Super excited to play this tomorrow. Robot Rescue on Playroom seriously wowed me, so jolly, and the dream of a full game has come true. Hyped.
Wasn't expecting this.
Sure looks like it's a physical release in America
I'll get it a day or two late, but I was able to get physical from Amazon too.
I mean, there's way more than just those two games. Look into it a bit further.
I'd write you a list if I wasn't at work. But play Superhot at the very least!
Yeah, this whole situation with this game has been bizarre. Have to wonder what the thread would look like without that tweet
Superhot VR is barely funcionable/playable on PSVR, and that version probably cracks my top 5 game experiences of all time. Making a GOTY list this year isn't going to be easy because nothing I have played this year has come close to my experiance with Superhot VR.
Huh. Odd chance talking about Tethered and its composer earlier. Same person has done Astrobot!
(and LittleBigPlanet and Tearaway)

It did look incredibly fun when I someone stream it on twitch. I just wanted more awesome games on the psvr and we are definitely getting there!
Tearaway has an amazing soundtrack.
I love the trialer tune from Astrobot too.
ASTRO BOT TUM TUMTUM ASTRO BOT TRUM TUM OH MY GOD SOMEBODY MAKE IT STOP
How does PSVR handle multiple people with different eye width? Is it saved to the user profile?
It was my second favourite game last year, only being edged out by Odyssey. It's completely awesome is what it is.
That was my reaction to that too how long need i wait to play a full game
I mean I'd hardly say Superhot VR is barely functionable and playable on PSVR. It works just fine? I never had any issues with playablity.
What I really love about what I'm hearing about this game is the actual way it's using VR. Not enough discussion is going on about this.
It's merely using the technology to construct the level around the player rather than forcing them to play in the 1st person perpective, in a cockpit, or via teleporting around a level. It's simply a 3D platforming game where you are able to look around and has some light 4th-wall breaking elements.
There is no reason why we cannot get more games in traditional genres like this. Fighting games, 2D Shmups, beat-em-ups, RTS, etc. The games actually work well when they're NOT in the 1st-person perspective.

There are quite a lot of high quality games now. Shameless self promotion on my part, but check this out: http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/09/guide_best_psvr_games
Obviously Astro Bot will be going into this soon! :)
Just finished the campaign as well and I can echo this statement.
It worked brilliantly for me (camera set up high, looking a bit down).
There are literally oodles of great games on the PSvR. The problem is that they are all, like Astro Bot before tweetageddon struck, fairly low profile. If you can be bothered to dig a little I promise you that you'll strike gold.
Really? No one? You don't remember any games not named Mario from 20 years ago?
I get what you mean, but you are also being as hyperbolic as the statement you are trying to call out.
You may be on to something there... Quick! Get on the phone to Sony marketing!
It mimics the way you see the world normally, so it should be similar to how you usually see your surroundings.
On the flip side, whoever you sold it to will be happy ;-)
Yup.
Tearaway had a criminally underrated soundtrack (especially in a year with Bioshock Infinite and TLOU)
This is going to be good.
