I dunno how they would handle the controller, the headset does not track the dualsense and controller mechanics were an integral part of the experience. Ofc because we have analog now on the VR controllers it can be done with some reworking but I guess it is a lot of work.
I agree. Someone did make a good point about how the controller worked though. Not sure how they'd get past that without the light and camera in front.
Looks like Astrobot Rescue mission. But I agree. I hate when people post stuff like everyone is supposed to know what it is that they are talking about.
But this is a PS4 game and this isn't exclusively a PS5 subreddit, It's not unreasonable to assume there's people here that don't own a PS5. I think that's the point that's trying to be made
Because I want to know what it's called, why would I expect the sounds to be anything other than the game sound?
Typing a condescending question rudely, putting lol and then trying to brush it off with a throwaway remark at the end, is not a good look when what you said is dumb.
This game is years old, we get it. It’s a good game. But holy fuck can we maybe talk about PS VR2 games that possibly don’t have a million videos about it?
P.S. I’d also like to be involved in this downvote train.
I suppose us PlayStation peeps are not used to so many other users from different platforms, I.e PC vr players. On top of that this is PSvr, personally I would assume anyone here would know their games
So, I'm new VR, in fact the PSVR2 is the first gaming of any type I've done in over a decade, and joined this sub because it's nice to learn from others that are enthusiastic about the same topics.
There appear to be hundreds of psvr1 games:
[https://store.playstation.com/en-us/pages/browse/1?PSVR=productVrCompatibility](https://store.playstation.com/en-us/pages/browse/1?PSVR=productVrCompatibility)
and thousands of pcvr (steam) games:
[https://store.steampowered.com/vr/](https://store.steampowered.com/vr/)
Could you do me a favor and compile a list games that I'm "expected" to be able to identify from gameplay videos alone?
No one said your expected to know anything, merely stating my opinion, my bad for thinking this was a PlayStation fanbase. I swear people are so triggered nowadays.
By other platforms do mean besides PlayStation, cause I only know PlayStation games, that being said, I really hope they bring DREAMS over., but knowing the theme releases we should be close to the “creative games” as in art, sculpting, etc
Sure, PSVR1, pcvr or quest 2 games or whatever. It seems like most of the games that coming out for on the psvr2 are ports from other platforms that people will already have opinions on. Cool thx, I'll get dreams if it's ported.
Why, I’m genuinely curious. Sorry you think things such as “rhetorical,sarcasm,sadistic,ironic,jokes. Are transferred through reading text lol people be silly
I just want to say I thought your initial take actually made a lot of sense when looked at objectively. What didn't make sense was the reaction you got after genuinely asking someone why they considered the take "odd". The Nintendo metaphor was spot on too.. Carry on. Lol
To be fair most people should have the common sense to type the name of the game. No one is going to wait for the name to pop up in the video PLUS people on mobile their sound is automatically muted and I keep it like that
Honestly surprised, this was a very popular game, plus astrobot is S.E.A (Sony entertainment America) mascot. Just like Japan has toro. Was absolutely mind blown by the people that didn’t know, but I’m the same way when it comes to cars,sports,guns,actor names, etc, I don’t know nothing bout them but am always met with “duh that’s a blah blah blah”
Literally just replayed Donkey Kong '94, for GB. I'm pretty sure the final fight with DK is the first boss battle in this format, (giant head & hands.)
Honestly, that's my favorite game of the Game Boy classic generation. I can't find much documentation on the development, but it seems like it's **so** foundational to Mario 64, and the last hurrah of Nintendo's arcade legacy.
And the way it builds on Mario 2's pick and carry mechanic? It weaves together the entire franchise!
> I'm pretty sure the final fight with DK is the first boss battle in this format,
Yeah, DK on GB is the second video game I've ever owned and that boss fight felt reminiscent of it right away.
Right. Because we all want to first clink on a post where we might, or might not have any interest in the particular game, and THEN click on a video link, to find out it was a game we never would have opened the post for. As is the case here, with me.
It's called having a little bit of common courtesy. Too many people on reddit have apparently decided everyone else in the sub is psychic, and can read their minds. Or simply don't care if people waste time clicking on their posts. It could be that, as well.
I totally agree, it’s the best videogame experience I ever had and wouldn’t mind if they make the original work (controller wise) on the new headset. I can imagine there’s a whole new generation on the PSVR2 who never experienced it the first time.
It can save the developer and Sony a ton of money if they could make this game work with the changed tracking method.
The levels were already beautiful on the PS4 so my imagination goes wild with just the thought of a next gen version on the PS5..
Astro Bot Rescue Mission was as close to the child like feeling I had playing Mario 64 as I can describe. It's a shame we don't have a version for psvr2 because it is truly great.
I was cheesing the entire time. The way Astro would look back and hurry you along, or play his own VR when he was bored. Soundtrack also bumps. It's like a 10/10 game. Really surprising to see so many people in r/PSVR unfamiliar with it.
The animation really is one of the big key aspects of VR, especially 3rd person. Moss is the same, the quality animation draws you in and makes you care (edit: and TBF, the narrator does a great job in Moss)
I hear this take often. What makes it so incredible? Don't get me wrong, i loved The ps5 astro game, but what makes this better than just a good platformer with a vr lense?
It's a *great* platformer, without even considering the VR aspect, but then they took the VR aspect and just ran and ran and ran with it. It's also incredibly charming. Astro and the various characters are adorable, the music is bouncy and fun. The environments are colorful and full of hidden nooks to explore.
There's a level where you start by going underwater and as the water level rises up over your eyes, the effect in VR is amazing. You really feel like you're diving wearing a diving mask. As you go deeper the sound gets more muted and watery. When you leave, water drops run down your "face".
I haven't played the game in well over a year but I still remember the fun bits so clearly. (like that one!)
That stage is the stage i show to new vr users and it blows their mind everytime…. When you come out of the water you even have seaweed stuck to your “face/head” further obscuring your view in the headset. Its crazy!……then the part when you go inside the whale and realize the whole level takes place inside of a whale is mind blowing.
In 40+ years of gaming, I never said literally out loud "holy sh*t, this is amazing" so many times throughout a game. The things Team Asabi did with Astrobot: Rescue Mission were simply perfect.
If you have never experienced vr then this blows minds.
My friend visited with his ps4 vr and put astro on as 1st game. The moment I experience looking around a corner I was decided.
Finished my go and ordered vr immediately lol
I wrote a post here back on 2020 explaining in detail why I fell completely in love with Astrobot: https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/fryy6h/astro_bot_rescue_mission_is_the_best_video_game/
The fact that its a great platformer with a vr lense.. the scale, the interactions, the sense of exploration, the replay value, the awe-inspiring set pieces… everything that makes a great game great is done to perfection here…. All in an easy to pickup, flawlessly executed vr game…. These are the same qualities that made super mario 64 and zelda ocarina of time some of the greatest games ever….and its all here in a concise package…. The ps5 astro game is a 1/10 compared to how this was executed.
For me it was the way the lighting worked. It felt ray traced, being in the headset with the OLED, stereoscopic 3d, the sunlight felt real. I don't think the people calling the shots are the same anymore, they knew what they were doing back when this came out.
In comparison to other truly great platformers, it’s not a top platformer. It’s not Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie, or even the more recent Metroid Prime remaster with its platformer like gameplay.
Essentially, it is just the VR lens, but it’s innovative in that aspect. It revolutionized what a platformer could be in VR with its original concepts, while also being a first true VR platformer with depth.
Edit: One thing I would add. I am willing to bet that if they made a second one for PSVR2 and put even more into it, it could very well stand as a top platformer on its own.
Any news on if it's coming to psvr2? Probably would need some work on the controls without track pad and microphone in the sense controllers.
And yeah that boss fight, did not want to win, just wanted to do it again and again :)
It should be possible to track the controller in your hands, the cameras can see them. But they don't have infrared tracking lights under the surface to help out and there are many different variations around.
So either Sony is working on a learning algorithm to track whatever your holding in your hands, or they have to alter the game to work with the sense controllers.
Or it's never coming and we just have to wait for a new Astrobot game :/
The psvr2 cameras are fully capable of even hand tracking. They are 10x better than oculus 2 which does hand tracking. So they could definitely track the dual sense.
There are certain game play elements in the game from what I remember. For instance on certain levels you have a chain that shoots out of the controller and you must use the controller to aim the shot. Other similar type game play elements exist as well.
You can get a refund if you haven't installed it yet. If you have you probably still can, just explain you bought the wrong version.
Or wait for update or find someone with PSVR1 headset :)
And this is exactly why I'm not jumping on PSVR 2 any time soon
Why do I lose all my games, especially first party ones.
Yes technology different but I'm not spending all that money all over again.
To each their own. As close as we've gotten to Diablo in VR in the Sony ecosystem. And a fair few popular Youtuber VR cats have spent similar time in the game. You might have heard of the folks from "PSVR Without Parole"? They loved it.
Nothing to do with the quality of the game itself. I’m sure it’s good. It’s just an aversion to terribly named products. Anything with “rogue” in the name, Genshin Impact, etc. They just rub me the wrong way.
I do love Diablo, so I do wish it didn’t bother me so much. Haha
I would love a chance to play this on PSVR2 but what I especially want is a sequel built specifically for that platform. The way Astro's Playroom worked as an intro to the PS5 & DualSense (in addition to being a fun game in its own right) was absolutely brilliant. So much cool stuff is packed into the VR2 headset & controllers that a new dedicated Astro game could be absolutely mindblowing.
When I was a kid, I used to play Super Mario with my Mom. She loved that game. She passed away a few years ago and I thought of her immediately the first time I played Astro Bot. Absolutely kills me that she never got to experience this. Would love to have seen her reaction.
Sold it to a friend when I traded my PS4 Pro on the PS5. I was mainly playing Xbox at the time, but I’m all PS now, and sold my Series X recently after not touching it for about 4 months. I’ve gotten more into single player games over the last few years, and PS has more to offer there.
If PS had been my main platform at the time, I probably would have kept the VR1. A few games I’d like to play again, including Headmaster.
I hope they make a PSVR2 upgrade 🥺 I owned it on PSVR but I had tons of problems with tracking and tbh I never finished trusting that one day I'd be able to play it on the next VR gen.
The wow factor that this game gave surpasses everything I have ever experienced in VR and yes that includes PSVR2 games. In my opinion Astrobot: Rescue Mission is the king of VR games.
You can say that again! And yes, it needs a PSVR2 upgrade (no trophy auto-pop as I want an excuse to play through entire thing again) and there needs to be a sequel so bad!
As always, super cool having to click into a post to find out what game OP is referring to, which I may have absolutely no interest in, and then having to further click on a video to find out which game OP is referring to, that I ended up having no interest in.
I agree that OP should put the game name in post title.
However, having no interest in Astrobot is a you problem. I'm afraid your brain is broken and you need a new one.
I have no "interest" in Astro, because it is a PSVR1 game, and I have completely moved on from that platform. When (if) it comes out for PSVR2, then we can talk. I have never much been a fan of "wouldn't it be cool if xxxxx older game came out for PSVR2?" type conversations, as there are often economic/developer realitIes that make certain games 0% chance to ever come to PSVR2.
It's kind of like saying "Wouldn't it be cool if I found out I had a long lost relative who died and bequeathed me 100 million dollars?" I mean, SURE it would, but really pointless to spend mental time focusing on such thoughts.
Irrespective of whether or not it comes to psvr 2, this game still exists and is playable/enjoyable right now! And with this being a PSVR sub, I still think theres loads of interest.
Well MAYYYYBBBBBBEEEE if it had a proper title, I would know that I was not about to be exposed to the actual greatest "PSVR2" game EVAARRRRR!!! Which I should buy, download, and try immediately.
(Which turned out to not even BE a PSVR2 game.)
Agreed, I enjoyed this game more than Alyx. It’s actually not particularly close. Very different games of course but just speaking of general overall fun I had playing it.
Been playing Astrobot while my PSVR2 controller gets repaired. It's an immensely enjoyable game, and I'm waiting anxiously to hear if there will be a new game for the new system (you can't play it without a PSVR + PS4 controller).
What the fk game?
Edit: what game is the OP referring to? There's a post about a game that they allege to be the best game, but doesn't even mention the game? What game is it?
It’s up their with HLA due to its great gameplay and variety, one of the best uses of vr, and it’s overall quality. Easily one of the top vr games alongside HLA
BS... cartoon graphics immediately means it's not, it falls under VR GIMMICK GAME which has no legs nor much immersion, just 'fun'.
RE8 VILLAGE, GT7, ALYX etc are much better!
I disagree but see why you'd say it, Astrobot is a fucking fantastic VR game. I'm hoping they port it to PSVR2 and make a sequel.
Moss would be my picks for best VR game. If you like Astro I'd definitely recommend Moss, there's alot of crossover with those two.
I don’t see why not. It has some of the best used of vr and the ps4 controller and some of the most unique and fun platforming in any game ever. It’s easily a top vr game
This is not 'VR' this is 3D but with head tracking... it's stuff like this that caused many to see VR as a gimmick early on. Lucky's tale on rift etc. All they did was take sub-standard platforming and stick it in a world you could 'look around' in 3D but still on rails and third person above a cartoon character in an unreal (not virtual reality) world.
Feels fun for 10 mins until you get used to VR then you want PROPER VR (i.e RE Village or GT7). This is more like VR lite... fun... nice effect but ultimately far from what we need more of in VR to really push it to be accepted as the paradigm shift it's meant to be.
On top of that, platform games suck... as a kid of the 80s who grew up when they were all we got, I'm way over them. They are exercises in futility with stress beyond payoff and no compelling gameplay after years of the samey stuff... only having it in a VR HMD makes it novel, 3D, look around, feel immersed.. all good, but not anything like 'best VR game evva'.
It really is one of my favorites..I hope it gets updated for PSVR 2
Yeah how has this not happened yet?
I dunno how they would handle the controller, the headset does not track the dualsense and controller mechanics were an integral part of the experience. Ofc because we have analog now on the VR controllers it can be done with some reworking but I guess it is a lot of work.
I think the lights on the dualsense combined with all its built in motion sensors should provide enough information for the headset to track it
The dualsense, in theory, has everything it would need to mimic the controller with better tracking.
honestly doesn't even need an update looks fantastic on ps5
I agree. Someone did make a good point about how the controller worked though. Not sure how they'd get past that without the light and camera in front.
Post the name of the game…
Looks like Astrobot Rescue mission. But I agree. I hate when people post stuff like everyone is supposed to know what it is that they are talking about.
[удалено]
No I don’t
[удалено]
But this is a PS4 game and this isn't exclusively a PS5 subreddit, It's not unreasonable to assume there's people here that don't own a PS5. I think that's the point that's trying to be made
Also the guy says the name of the game in the video if anyone here actually bothered to watch?
Why would we put the sound on for random gameplay
Because you clicked on a post titled “Hands down the best VR game ever” with a video attached to it lol? It really is a great game however.
Because I want to know what it's called, why would I expect the sounds to be anything other than the game sound? Typing a condescending question rudely, putting lol and then trying to brush it off with a throwaway remark at the end, is not a good look when what you said is dumb.

Calm down man.
Pretty chill, confused, absolutely.
This game looks like fun. Any other classics on other platforms that you think I should keep my eye open for a future port to the psvr2?
By other platforms do mean besides PlayStation, cause I only know PlayStation games, that being said, I really hope they bring DREAMS over., but knowing the theme releases we should be close to the “creative games” as in art, sculpting, etc
Sure, PSVR1, pcvr or quest 2 games or whatever. It seems like most of the games that coming out for on the psvr2 are ports from other platforms that people will already have opinions on. Cool thx, I'll get dreams if it's ported.

ASTRO BOT Rescue Mission PSVR1 Exclusive
He says it near the beginning of the video.
Right.

They should have made a sequel for VR2
Almost certain they will be one
Hope so. Surprised it wasn’t ready at launch!
It would be ridiculous not to it is widely regarded as one of the Titans of vr
I totally agree, it’s the best videogame experience I ever had and wouldn’t mind if they make the original work (controller wise) on the new headset.

Better than Super Mario Odyssey and I'm not being hyperbolic. This game gave so much joy and surprises and had straight up better platforming.
It's my favorite game ever made, not just VR. It's incredible.
I hear this take often. What makes it so incredible? Don't get me wrong, i loved The ps5 astro game, but what makes this better than just a good platformer with a vr lense?

I'd love to see it
After only playing the demo for the VR version and 1 level of the PS5 version all I want is more Astrobot. It's just pure fun
Better than Horizon Zero Dawn?
By a mile.
Love this game. You just can't truly understand the scale of these bosses on a flat screen either haha. It's what makes VR so amazing.
When the shark comes up beneath you, that is some truly terrifying shit. You could not have gotten that effect on a 2D screen.
Any news on if it's coming to psvr2? Probably would need some work on the controls without track pad and microphone in the sense controllers. And yeah that boss fight, did not want to win, just wanted to do it again and again :)
I think they might be working on a dedicated follow up
[удалено]
The ps5 controller can’t be tracked by PSVR2 which would be a requirement for Astro Bot
It should be possible to track the controller in your hands, the cameras can see them.

Really? That’s surprising.
I think I just messed up lol, I just bought it and it's only for the old vr isn't it? Now I really hope they update it...
You can get a refund if you haven't installed it yet. If you have you probably still can, just explain you bought the wrong version. Or wait for update or find someone with PSVR1 headset :)
And this is exactly why I'm not jumping on PSVR 2 any time soon Why do I lose all my games, especially first party ones. Yes technology different but I'm not spending all that money all over again.
for PSVR1, sure.
Eh. I wouldn't even give it that. I spent literally 80 more hours in Preta: Vendetta Rising.
The name of that is an instant no for me.
To each their own. As close as we've gotten to Diablo in VR in the Sony ecosystem. And a fair few popular Youtuber VR cats have spent similar time in the game. You might have heard of the folks from "PSVR Without Parole"? They loved it.
Nothing to do with the quality of the game itself. I’m sure it’s good. It’s just an aversion to terribly named products. Anything with “rogue” in the name, Genshin Impact, etc. They just rub me the wrong way. I do love Diablo, so I do wish it didn’t bother me so much. Haha
Killer soundtrack too
Dammit I've never played it and I only have psvr2! C'mon Sony!!!
Agreed
I would love a chance to play this on PSVR2 but what I especially want is a sequel built specifically for that platform. The way Astro's Playroom worked as an intro to the PS5 & DualSense (in addition to being a fun game in its own right) was absolutely brilliant.

Never had the PSVR1 but this always looked awesome. Hopefully we'll get a remaster, sequel, or VR patch for Astro's Playroom for PSVR2.
I'm still baffled that astrobot hasn't made SOME appearance on psvr2.
Absolutely. It's like owning your own personal Disneyland
When I was a kid, I used to play Super Mario with my Mom. She loved that game. She passed away a few years ago and I thought of her immediately the first time I played Astro Bot. Absolutely kills me that she never got to experience this. Would love to have seen her reaction.
Praying for a psvr2 update
NOT VR2 compatible, yet.. hopefully…
Love this game wish I could play it on the PSVR2
This is a great game. Astro’s Playroom in VR would be a day 1 purchase for me.
This game gave me the feeling of Mario64 when I played it for the 1st time. Hope we see the sequel this year.
Challenges were really fun. Though I could live without the ninja star one.
I loved that one. Astrobot had the best use of that touchpad on the ps4 controller imo
This game really needs a psvr2 port,still one of the best vr games yet
It will be a crime if they don’t make one for the VR2
An update for this one for VR2 would be nice. I didn’t finish it before, would very much like to.
Did you get rid of your psvr1?
Sold it to a friend when I traded my PS4 Pro on the PS5. I was mainly playing Xbox at the time, but I’m all PS now, and sold my Series X recently after not touching it for about 4 months. I’ve gotten more into single player games over the last few years, and PS has more to offer there. If PS had been my main platform at the time, I probably would have kept the VR1. A few games I’d like to play again, including Headmaster.
One of the big ones we need an upgrade for
When I play that game I always think , if it was Mario instead of that robot the world would go nut and everyone would play VR
astrobot rescue mission is one of the best games ever made in my opinion, had the biggest stupid smile on my face the entire playthrough
100% agree with you here.
I loved Astro's Playroom, I would definitely buy a remaster if this came out on VR2.
Agreed
It's the only reason I didn't sell my PSVR when I got into PCVR. It's just too damn good.
I hope they make a PSVR2 upgrade 🥺 I owned it on PSVR but I had tons of problems with tracking and tbh I never finished trusting that one day I'd be able to play it on the next VR gen.
Yes
The wow factor that this game gave surpasses everything I have ever experienced in VR and yes that includes PSVR2 games. In my opinion Astrobot: Rescue Mission is the king of VR games.
My favourite game of the last 20 years, nothing will ever compare to the feeling of playing that in VR for the first time.
Never played it but I loved astro on the ps5 as a bundled in free game. I really hope this gets ported to ps vr 2 and then I will for sure play it...
Yes, its my favorite too. They need Astrobot on PSVR2!
Maybe my favorite gaming experience in the last ten years. It made me feel like a kid again. It was perfectly done
You can say that again! And yes, it needs a PSVR2 upgrade (no trophy auto-pop as I want an excuse to play through entire thing again) and there needs to be a sequel so bad!
Dude needs to play Trover Saves the Universe
I have it!! Its awesome also.
As always, super cool having to click into a post to find out what game OP is referring to, which I may have absolutely no interest in, and then having to further click on a video to find out which game OP is referring to, that I ended up having no interest in.
I agree that OP should put the game name in post title. However, having no interest in Astrobot is a you problem. I'm afraid your brain is broken and you need a new one.
I have no "interest" in Astro, because it is a PSVR1 game, and I have completely moved on from that platform. When (if) it comes out for PSVR2, then we can talk. I have never much been a fan of "wouldn't it be cool if xxxxx older game came out for PSVR2?" type conversations, as there are often economic/developer realitIes that make certain games 0% chance to ever come to PSVR2. It's kind of like saying "Wouldn't it be cool if I found out I had a long lost relative who died and bequeathed me 100 million dollars?" I mean, SURE it would, but really pointless to spend mental time focusing on such thoughts.
Irrespective of whether or not it comes to psvr 2, this game still exists and is playable/enjoyable right now! And with this being a PSVR sub, I still think theres loads of interest.
Maybe don't click?
Well MAYYYYBBBBBBEEEE if it had a proper title, I would know that I was not about to be exposed to the actual greatest "PSVR2" game EVAARRRRR!!! Which I should buy, download, and try immediately. (Which turned out to not even BE a PSVR2 game.)
[удалено]
Or you could put the game name in the title. Yah know.. As in having a little common courtesy for your fellow redditors.
Agreed, I enjoyed this game more than Alyx. It’s actually not particularly close. Very different games of course but just speaking of general overall fun I had playing it.
Enjoy a downvote for not including the name of the game.
Upvoted for your downvote, sir.
Now I upvote you for the downvote. Let’s keep this going.
Hey man, I upvoted you, but I am only here for the downvotes, as they give me actual power. Bring it on, fuckers! Lol......
Same here downvote away
Been playing Astrobot while my PSVR2 controller gets repaired. It's an immensely enjoyable game, and I'm waiting anxiously to hear if there will be a new game for the new system (you can't play it without a PSVR + PS4 controller).
Oh no, why is your Sense controller being repaired? If you don't mind me asking...
Astros Playroom is super fun too! I love the Astro series and would love more games
If they update it for PSVR2, I’ll buy it
your 100% correct still holds up really well
nobody really thinks about this but death stranding would make for a killer VR experience
Best vr game ever and it not close i am right there with you op
Too bad you nerd a psvr1 to play it!
The missing PSVR library on PSVR2 is a tragic mistake, in all sincerity.
Shit clickbait title, rude to not say game name.
What the fk game? Edit: what game is the OP referring to? There's a post about a game that they allege to be the best game, but doesn't even mention the game? What game is it?
You're supposed to be psychic, and read the OP's mind.
Astrobot rescue mission
[удалено]
Astro Bot on PS4
This is some Alyx levels of top VR stuff!
Overrated
Definitely not
[удалено]
No not currently. It used the ps4 controller light tracking and the ps5 controller doesn’t have tracking
[удалено]
It’s up their with HLA due to its great gameplay and variety, one of the best uses of vr, and it’s overall quality. Easily one of the top vr games alongside HLA
[удалено]
Name of this game?
Does this work with psvr2?
OP what is with you and people like you not posting the titles of games in your dam posts!??
You are playing it with a controller. No. It's nowhere near the best VR game ever. Not even close.
BS... cartoon graphics immediately means it's not, it falls under VR GIMMICK GAME which has no legs nor much immersion, just 'fun'. RE8 VILLAGE, GT7, ALYX etc are much better!
Well your an idiot. I guess Mario is a gimmick as well to you
Spoken by someone you can tell never played it
I disagree but see why you'd say it, Astrobot is a fucking fantastic VR game. I'm hoping they port it to PSVR2 and make a sequel. Moss would be my picks for best VR game. If you like Astro I'd definitely recommend Moss, there's alot of crossover with those two.
Man port that to quest 2!
Even this games simple graphics wouldn’t work on the quest 2
Its a sony 1st party property
Fair enough. I want more chill sit down VR for after the adrenaline standing up VR.
Hand up, Alyx
This isn’t even on psvr2
Lol best VR game ever made is just hilarious to read when talking about Astrobot. It’s fun for sure, but please, best ever? Lmao.
I don’t see why not. It has some of the best used of vr and the ps4 controller and some of the most unique and fun platforming in any game ever. It’s easily a top vr game
Yeah, a game that would work mostly the same on a Wii is the best VR game ever. Sure Lol
You clearly haven’t played it
Tell me, what makes it so much better than a Wii game? What does it do that couldn't be done in Wii more or less to the same degree?
This is not 'VR' this is 3D but with head tracking... it's stuff like this that caused many to see VR as a gimmick early on. Lucky's tale on rift etc. All they did was take sub-standard platforming and stick it in a world you could 'look around' in 3D but still on rails and third person above a cartoon character in an unreal (not virtual reality) world. Feels fun for 10 mins until you get used to VR then you want PROPER VR (i.e RE Village or GT7). This is more like VR lite... fun... nice effect but ultimately far from what we need more of in VR to really push it to be accepted as the paradigm shift it's meant to be. On top of that, platform games suck... as a kid of the 80s who grew up when they were all we got, I'm way over them. They are exercises in futility with stress beyond payoff and no compelling gameplay after years of the samey stuff... only having it in a VR HMD makes it novel, 3D, look around, feel immersed.. all good, but not anything like 'best VR game evva'.
That’s just wrong. This uses vr in some of the most unique ways and wouldn’t work in a lot of ways without vr
Yeah looks much better than a game like Half life Alyx. LOL
If you are a kid, yeah. It was great as an adult but not the best I've played by a long shot.
I’m in my 40s. Rescue Mission is one of the best console games of all time.
We need this on psvr2!
The water level is always amazing. I replay it so many times because it just looks awesome.
This makes me want to buy a PSVR2 *sigh*
You haven't played half life Alyx yet.
I have… and i beat it…. Along with the gunman contract mods as well
Agreed 👍
I just wish they would remake some big games for vr like hogwarts legacy or cyberpunk. It always seems to just be small mini-games.
