Title: Astro Bot is probably the best game of all time to be honest
Post by: mormapope on December 24, 2018, 12:00:35 PM: (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1d/Astro_Boy_2004_Cover.jpg)

I've only seen threads on resetera, but it definitely seems like a defining moment in my life, your life, and certainly the lives of children that have never played a platformer. After this holiday season, Im going to the store to spend time with my real family, the Playstation family, and Astro Bot.

I hope in Astro Bot 2, the VR implementation allows me to know what its like being Shaq bot's penis.

I already have a Rift, no way i'm buying a second headset (a worse one at that) for one game.
If those fuckers at Sony hadn't paid to keep RE7 VR exclusive for Ps4, i'd be less bitter, too.

There's always emulation in 20 years time... :-\

I thought it was only exclusive to PSVR for one year?

Me too.
So had suggested Capcom, but rumor has it Sony extended the exclusivity.
I doubt it's coming now, anyway.

VR seems to be tanking in general, so guess I can't say that Capcom adding support for the other headsets, which sold like dogshit in 2018, would probably have gotten many sales.

Would've made me happy though.
Is that not enough?
