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.

Is that a gameplay clip? I didn't know the PS4 was powerful enough to render Shaq bots so well!

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

I was all ready to complain about VR but I see what you did.

PS2 version was actually done by the Rez team that got eaten by Sonic Team

One simple step to make the next one the best game of all time.

I could not stop smiling when playing this game last night.

Simply the best 3D platformer yet. Holy shit this needs a sequel on PS5 already.

This is the one by Treasure, isn't it?

benjipwns · « **Reply #15 on:** January 02, 2019, 07:31:27 PM »

Yeah, Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Bad Dream on GBA is also by them and is very very similar.

First one I grabbed off YouTube of a dude playing the first couple stages:

Life would be easier to comprehend if this was as overhyped as anyone would imagine, but sadly it isn't. Still not getting new hardware for a single game though.

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.

Smart move for Sony. They should try and keep it till the inevitable HD-a-fied PS5VR version drops. Game is fucking awesome in VR.

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?
