I’m confused why people think platformers are worth less money
Cause they look like they cost less to make
Maybe because there is no replay value?
Well traditionally if your name is Mario or maybe donkey Kong (i don’t remember if dk returns was full price at launch)
@@YoCallMeRobDo you think Mario or Crash are worth less than Call Of Duty or Assassin’s Creed?
@@atari1994Platformers are literally KNOWN for having replay value, going for extra collectibles or completing optional challenges is how you get the most mileage out of Platformers.
The fact that we're even asking this is why Sony isn't comfortable making those "risky/weird" games people claim to want from them.
There's always the narrative that these games are lesser than the big, story-driven single-player player games that they're known for. They're "not worth full price".
I think it's the opposite. Gamers have been shown that the industry has let go of platformers in a big way. It used to be the icon of games during the first few generations, starting from NES, but then largely abandoned. Only ones left are Nintendo, who never gave it up and continued to make them premium product, and the random indie titles here and there, releasing to various degrees of quality. Without the Nintendo Seal a platformer is a big question mark for people, an unknown.
I would gladly pay $70 for Astrobot. Playroom exuded so much fun and charm and I've been waiting for them to do a full Non-VR release.
The game will eventually go on sale for people that are deterred by the price initially
It seems to be a big platformer. US$70 is okay; eventually, it will go on sale. It's not like you need to buy it immediately to avoid getting spoiled.
Thomas from Thomas Was Alone is a literal block yet beloved, characters aren’t entirely reliant on their visual designs Tim, it doesn’t matter how bland his design is on paper.
CZcams ratios mean nothing when discerning game reception. Concord had a lot of negative bias going into it whereas Astro does not, people don’t have reason to dislike Astro unlike Concord, not even PSVR2 owners like me since we know the lack of VR clearly isn’t from Asobi.
The moment Astro comes out I’m paying for it, no questions asked. I’ve waited for this for so long!
I'm buying 2 copies.
Absolutely. Astro Bot looks like a 10!!!!
70$ is okay for to pay for Astro... You know what you are getting this will help the Studio to grow
Well the page was updated today, and it’s confirmed to be 60$, which might be pricey for some but I’d pay any amount for this game

🙄
If Mario can do it with antiquated gameplay and graphics, why can't this?🤔
I would pay 70 on day one! Astro Bot Playroom is so awesome and still a Dualsense showpiece!
It will make more at 40 dollars
if it was I would expect something the length of Ratchet and clank. I just hope they flushed it out that far. knowing p.s. studios I have no doubt but you never know for sure.
Absolutely, it’ll probably be the most fun PS5 exclusive (not that there are many in the first place 😭)
I say the price should be at least $60 CAD
the likes and dislike ratio is cool and all for showing support but we will see when it releases.... will astro bot make a lot of money?
49.99
39$ is still 60$ in Quebec, 60 is 80 and 70 is 90$. The US are not the only market and 70$US games in CAD are 89$, with all the taxes, a new game here it's 107$. I understand why people here will not want to spend 107$ on this type of game. I will, but I'm really in a good place money-wise, which is not the case for everybody/families.
Current currency conversion is $70 USD = $95.57 CAD. If games there cost $89 CAD, sounds like you’re getting a slight deal over the U.S. if anything. The taxes do make it hurt more, but a lot of the US also has pretty hefty sales tax around 10% so a lot of people are paying $77 USD for a game, which is $105 CAD at current rates. Our countries are united in taking us for every penny we got 😅 cheers!
Add PSVR2 support and yes I’ll pay full price!
YES!!!!
I’d settle for $60 tbh
Realistically Mario is the only platformer IP that can gain mass success at full price, any others can’t regardless of quality, and the Astro IP definitely doesn’t have cache anywhere close to Mario, Sackboy is much closer and even he can’t compete. $50 would be the sweet spot for the most amount of success possible, even if the product/quality is $70, but I can see Sony pushing for $60.
Yes. Pre ordering.
No. I say 40 to 50
Astro bot is worth $5
Don’t even know the quality or length of the game yet we are debating price points. Incredible. No wonder the gaming industry is fucked.
How in the world can you hate Astro's design? I require next week on gamescast to give Tim 30mins to draw and preach his ideal design for Astro, and have the team critique.
0:55 I am with Tim a bit on Astro Bot.
I don't think the design has legs to be super popular like your Marios or your Sonics or even Crash.
I don't see a design that is so in the realm of ROBOT being that appealing.
There's a sense of over-complexity.
I love a good platformer, but AB in this trailer reminds me of the Clank missions in the Ratchet and Clank games, which to me were the least satisfying parts of the gameplay loop. The newer games let you skip them because they could feel so tedious.
As far as console mascots go Id prefer if they stuck with Sackboy. Maybe they were aiming for Eva from Wall-E but it feels closer to a living Iphone or the bad guys from IRobot and Portal. I guess theres room for more than one mascot like Mario, and Pikachu
Hard pass on this one
Well if has less production value than rachet and clank... No
no interest in this game. looks fine but nothing amazing. no way this game sells even close to what they want
You two are too old to play VR, facts. just retire.
No game should be 70 lol this game looks fantastic though. Would say 40\50
SO games are the only thing on earth that should not be affected by inflation .. what entertainment product in your life has stayed the same price for 20+ years ? why this insane standard just for games.
No game should be $70
You don't know what it takes to make games then, just like most gamers.
@@Hessianoct another straw man argument, I do know what it takes, most do, we’re not stupid, every few generations they raise the price by $10 & give the BS excuse they do, it’s just greed, or are you gonna justify the new standard of a game being $70 for the base game but if you want an extra outfit or weapon they raise it by an additional $20
EVERY thing in your entire LIFE has increased in price because of inflation, 60$ in 2002 is about 80$ now so it's natural games would increase like they did from 40$ to 50$ back in the day. If a game does not have MTX like this one they would literally be making LESS per sale then they made 10 years ago .. learn how money works and then make these comments.
@@talalahsan6824 and if it was quality I don’t think most would argue but now we got games that are broken on release & unplayable, the mantra they always give is the extra $10 is to ensure the quality that we have come to expect but then why are more & more games broken on release, if the extra money is for quality then why aren’t we getting it
