One of the best games I've played this year, maybe ever. Could might as well be called Ode to Play[Station]. 100% fun. Well done asobi. And to think that we have a new generation of PlayStation joy ahead of us!
All four of the end world rooms with the startups were really cool.I got chills when you complete the Cooling Springs level and the PS3 start up chime played.
It's not just a great game but it also feels like a lovingly crafted playstation museum.
This should just be the OT. tr00per any objections?
Being playing a fair bit today, it really is an excellent little game. I've had a blast playing and finding the references to other games.
Ico is my favourite so far but I've caught loads! It did crash on me though and I lost a little progress.
Apparantly it's Knack, lol.Ico was really epic! So far I think the Resident Evil one is my favorite. Can anyone tell me what the reference is for the sad bot in the lab, who plays with blocks and tries to set a sphere with a blue light?
Also, the GPU Jungle music is a banger, I keep humming it even right now.
Resident Evil was my favorite one too! It was great, especially Jill's reaction.Ico was really epic! So far I think the Resident Evil one is my favorite. Can anyone tell me what the reference is for the sad bot in the lab, who plays with blocks and tries to set a sphere with a blue light?

Tis done!
I think it's supposed to reference Beyond: Two Souls? Never played it though so I'm not 100%. I just remember in trailers there being a blue light you control while Ellen Page tries to guess which blockIco was really epic! So far I think the Resident Evil one is my favorite.

no pressure IMO - it's low key
The game has its share of obvious references, but it is legit absolutely packed with stuff like this that I feel like 75% of players wont see or get. You can literally just walk around levels and try to figure out what they're referencing - it's like a legitimate activity in the game lolI love that one of the labo models is a table with PlayStation tote bags with orange handles, same as the ones given out at the last three years of PlayStation Experience.

2.5-5+ hours depending on how much you rush, and whether you are going for the platinum.How long is this game out of curiosity? I know there was some speculation pre-release.
Got my PS5 today and before anything else I just had to platinum (impossible without a guide) Astro.
Such a great game and an amazing ride down memory lane. I was smiling and giggeling like a teenager throughout my whole playthrough and I would be more than happy to pay 30Euros for this.
Hats off to Sony and Asobi! Just wonderful!
References I found:
ICO, MGS, Resident Evil, GoT, GOW, Horizon, Ape Escape, Knack, Heavy Rain, Detroit, FFVII, Tomb Raider, Uncharted, ICO, SOTC, Jax & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Locoroco, DMC, Castlevania (?the blonde guy in the coffin?), Wipeout, Concrete Genie, Killzone, The Order, inFamous, The Puppeteer, Ridge Racer, Medievil (?), Spyro, Crash Bandicot, Sly, Bloodborne, but I have no idea what the zombie with the rice hat should be...
Edit: and a bangers soundtrack! GPU...GPUUUUU! or the top hit
SSD, SSD XD
They even included the underrated masterpiece that is Puppeteer? Wow that's really awesome!Got my PS5 today and before anything else I just had to platinum (impossible without a guide) Astro.

I found a clip.They even included the underrated masterpiece that is Puppeteer? Wow that's really awesome!
cant wait to play it one day :)
That's so cool! Thanks for posting!
thank you.gif
I have to shamefully admit that I've never played it. The timing of ita release was rather unfortunate and I was already a 100% invested in PS4. :(They even included the underrated masterpiece that is Puppeteer? Wow that's really awesome!

I think it's brilliant the way Asobi Team is drawing parallels with Nintendo classics.
The GPU song has been stuck in my head for a week now. It's SO GOOD.
