Punisher5.0 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Watched the DF video today and this game is looking good. I'm digging the Mario Sunshine-esque hover ability 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I don't own a PS5, but PS4 Astrobot might be my favorite game of like the last few years (when did it come out?). Astrobot = Awesomebot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 Took it for a spin this morning before my work day starts. Quite fun - rescued the 7 bots in Sky Garden, which included VIP bots Ratchet and Rivet, and found the 3 puzzle pieces then made it back to the crash site where the rescued bots left the controller ship and are hanging out. Found a VIP bot screen that shows Ratchet and Rivet, but not the 4 VIP bots I rescued ahead of time in Astro's Playroom. Fired up Astro's Playroom and went to the area they're hanging out at - thought perhaps going thru the portal there would move them to the new game but nope, just takes you to the Playstation Store which shows I already bought Astro Bot. I got the Deluxe version with the soundtrack and artwork, which I briefly checked out. Was hoping tracks from Playroom like I'm Your GPU and SSD would be there but didn't see them, ah well. Hopefully there's a way to export the sound track to USB as I'd love to jam to it in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 Looks like the soundtrack for Astro's Playroom is available digitally via places like iTunes and Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 Fired it up briefly on my lunch break. This time I noticed the 4 bots appear on the start screen: They still didn't show up in the VIP list, though I figured out how to get them added (the other 2 are on other pages): The rest is behind the spoiler tag in case y'all want to figure it out on your own: Spoiler The special bots from Playroom are trapped under boulders in various locations around the crash site. Need to have rescued at least 2 other bots to help you lift the boulders off of them. It's kinda like how Clank interacts with other robots in some of the Ratchet & Clank games. After doing so interact with A5081 (asobi) to bring up the VIP list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzie.P Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 First few levels are giving me the impression this is gonna be master class in "just pure simple fun." I gotta say though, it's making me wish it was VR. Loved the first(?) one in VR and the level designs of this one seem a perfect fit for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I'm seeing some GOTY chatter around this game already. Kinda surprising, but perhaps not considering some of the bombs that have been releases lately? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 Had a lot of trouble finishing Splashing Sprint, specifically getting past the missile launching frog and then the 3 flame throwers. Found this to be very helpful: Spoiler Missile launching frog: Spoiler Throw the second duck at the frog to prevent the missiles from being launched. 3 flame throwers: Spoiler Don't go past the duck right away - instead stop right at the duck so the flame throwers don't start. Throw the duck to eliminate the next enemy, then throw the respawned ducks to kill the other 2 enemy and cleanup the oil so it doesn't slow you down. Be sure to get a running start before triggering the flame throwers. Nice! Wasn't sure if nested spoilers would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 After finding the covers for the mothership I noticed it has the disc slot. Do those render without the slot if played on a PS5 digital edition? I wonder that because Beach Buggy Racing 2 in my Tesla renders your player's car as your specific vehicle, including the color. Played in my blue 2018 Model 3: Played in my red 2024 Model 3: Besides the color the body is also rendered correctly - on the back of the car note the tail lights are different as well as the badging (T logo vs TESLA).
