Astro Bot Rescue Mission |OT| VR's Astro Bot Moment
- Thread starter Jawbreaker
- Start date
Nice OT. Now to impatiently wait for the preload to unlock, but we've been waiting 2 years for this, so a few hours isn't too bad.
I have completed the first two world's. This game has brought back a feeling that I have not had since I got my Atari 2600 back in the 80s. Especially when I got to play the beach level. This game is full of wonder and amazement.
It's the type of game that everyone who loves gaming should have as a Christmas present. That feeling of waiting all night for Christmas day to come and then playing that gift when you first wake up and rip open your present.
Christmas has come early my PSVR friends. Enjoy!

Well that is a great review. I will definitely be picking this up.
Awesome OT.
Probably won't get a chance to play until the weekend sadly but I'm gonna play the hell out of it when the weekend arrives.
Ever since playing the Playroom VR demo, I (and a lot of others) wanted this to be a full game, it just had so much charm and quality to it that would totally work as a full release and it was awesome to hear Sony picked up on the fan love for it and made it into a full game.
Now it's here and actually lives up to the hype, with all the great reviews, is an even better feeling. As a big fan of 3D platformers this is probably gonna be one of my GOTY.

Thanks for the link-who is the retailer and do you know if they are selling UK or Nordic versions (the yellow dots)?
Edit: beaten and OOS anyway...i was too slow!

Can't you grab a dining chair or something else to sit on closer to the PS4?
If you hold down the options button on the controller for a few seconds, it re-centers everything. That's a universal feature of PSVR actually; no matter what you're playing or watching, holding down that button will re-center it if you find yourself drifting.
Thanks, but its actually gyro drift on the controller. If you recenter the headset to account for the controller you end up side on to the camera after about 15 minutes. Again, i should note that this is on the demo from almost 2 years ago
I'm supposed to keep my foot elevated to reduce swelling.
I'm also still working on Hollow Knight. I don't mind waiting a couple weeks to play.
Great OT!
Already purchased digital but don't think I'll play until this weekend as my PSVR is a bitch to set up. Can't wait!

I respect that they went all in with VR only for a high quality title like this but at the same time being VR only does limit its reach.
You should have bought it on USA store, it's already available.
As someone who can fully relate to your 2600 experience but does not own PSVR, you're killing me. Sounds amazing.
As I understand it, the game would require significant changes to make it work without VR, and then all you're left with is a 3D Mario clone, which might still be a great game, but wouldn't really stand out with any unique selling point.
Really cool OT.
I'm hoping to pick this up in the next month or so thanks to Era users and the great reviews.
I enjoyed the demo in Playroom VR which was just a mind bending blast.

This is the one...
Hooking up PSVR tonight and taking a break from Spidey & Destiny 2...
Can't wait to show the family
Fantastic OT!! Well done all involved.
I can't wait to get my hands on this it looks brilliant.

Yo, the
in 1-3. Kinda fucked up.
Played through world 1 up to the boss. It's good. Some of the design is very clever- the only level I found all the bots and chameleon the first go-around was 1-1, though a dumb checkpoint at the very end stopped me from doing so for 1-4. Make sure to look down. Got a real sense of vertigo doing a bit of that.

Totally picking this up when I get paid on Friday. The platforming game in Playroom VR was the most impressive use of VR I saw when I first bought my headset. It was an absolute blast and I was hoping this game would actually happen. Really excited to dust that headset off and jump in.
This game looks awesome but I think I'll wait until I've played through moss first. I'm worried moss will somehow be less impressive if I start with astrobot.
I think that's the right order to play as Moss is slower paced with somewhat less variety. Moss is also (unfortunately) short. But very polished and a perfect gentle first entry to VR.
Dam I thought i got it for a nice price at £25. Excited to dig into this tomorrow, the moss demo didnt convince me of anything but the playroom demo did.
