Sony hate thread

She went from looking like one of the prettier hippy chicks to genderbent ginger Nikado Avocado. Her face went from vegan to mukbang.

That's way up there too, but at least they gave it away during COVID and in console bundles. So it's at least believable that it has a few fans by way of some people just not having played anything else, I guess.

Astro Bot's audience looks to be almost entirely shills, and a few devout PlayStation zealots desperate for something celebratory of the brand like Smash Bros. They sure love to pretend like PlayStation All-Stars never happened, lmao.
It looks like a decent little game, but the drought has made Soyny shills hype Astro Bot to messianic levels.

Seems like the PS5 Pro is about to be unveiled. I still don't understand the point of it, but Cerny talking tech is usually a decent watch.
The real question is if we get another FIE HUNNID NINEY NINE YOU ESS DORRAH. I highly doubt at this point the pro is the same price as the base model's original price, you don't jack up the price a week before lowering it again.
 
A mascot platformer lives or dies by how good the mascot it.

Punky Skunk may be a surprisingly good game, it still has a skunk for a mascot. Astro Bot looks like the reddit mascot if it were a robot and I can't help but cringe.
Astro is passable, but like Sack Boy, that's not enough. Taro was a little better, but honestly, Sony never got a great mascot.

It was basically Crash back in the 90's, but otherwise yeah there was no one mascot. Hell, in the PS2 era you could've said it was the host from Buzz and you might've been right.

Jak and Daxter would be considered PS2 mascots
Jak & Daxter & Ratchet & Clank & Sly & Kratos & PaRappa & the Ape Escape monkeys

nah burn that all to the ground for Generic McShooty, Bald Generic McShooty, Bald Magic McShooty, and Sack Boy

nah burn that all to the ground for Aloy and some lesbians

actually let's push some extremely ugly obese black women

This has to be the worst managed brand in gaming.
 
And that was a relatively hype-loaded release at the time, too. Says a lot.
FF7 Rebirth was being glazed as the greatest game of the year and an amazing accomplishment at the time of its release by journalists and Snoys. For all we know, Astro Bot has potentially also sold like shit. There's the Snoy shills that will play their version of Bing Bing Wahoo to support their brand but Sony has courted an audience that potentially isn't that interested in Astro Bot and the people that would play Astro Bot aren't going to buy a Playstation 5 just to play it when the Switch 2 is coming out early next year. Or all the signs are wrong and Astro Bot went gangbusters and sold 10 million units.

Considering how desperate they are for a hit, it is justified. They lost a ton of money on Concord and the way things are going (woke live services seem to be the majority of their future 1st party releases), the poor little robot has to carry a lot on its back.

Let us see how many nose hairs will this one be able to render. Because that is all that matters apparently.

If I recall correctly, a certain internet community has a disturbing amount of appreciation for skunks. What disgusts one, entices another.

Yeah, it looks like a well-done game (if a little bit Standard Procedure by-the-numbers -- adorable mascot though), but it's unreasonable for them to pin so much hope on this one title. I worry it's going to get shit on down the road even if it sells like gangbusters, like how Alien Isolation got the shaft (sold plenty, but not "enough").
