The PlayStation is approaching its 30th anniversary of the first PlayStation console, and Hideaki Nishino on the PlayStation blog has announced that there will be a PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection. The aesthetic is that of the PlayStation 1 and pays homage to the console that launched on December 3, 1994. The collection will be sold in "highly limited supply," as the consoles won't only just come with the limited edition skin but will come with original PlayStation controller-style cable housing, a sticker, and a Paperclip, as an example. Not only will the PlayStation 5 Pro get this bundle, but the […]

ChinaJoy 2024 is in full swing, and we've got several new gameplay showcases for high-profile games like Astro Bot and Phantom Blade Zero, courtesy of Gematsu. Astro Bot is Sony's flagship game for this year. Developed by Team Asobi (formerly Japan Studio), it was announced during May's PlayStation Showcase event. We've since learned that it is the biggest game made by the studio yet, featuring over 80 levels spanning three different worlds for a total length estimated to be between 12 and 15 hours. Game Director Nicolas Doucet also confirmed that Team Asobi considered using open world design but decided […]
Team Asobi's upcoming Astro Bot for PlayStation 5, will feature an overhauled game engine and will take around 12 to 15 hours to complete. In a new interview with Team Asobi's Studio Director and Creative Director, Nicolas Doucet, French journalist and YouTuber Julien Chièze talked about the sequel to 2020's Astro's Playroom. Featuring 80 levels, we already knew that the sequel would be the studio's biggest game to date, but know we also got additional details about the actual length of the main game. As revealed by Doucet, the team would rather reduce the length of the game, than get […]
Sony might not have much this year coming from its own PlayStation Studios, but Astro Bot certainly is the notable exception. Unveiled during May's State of Play broadcast, Astro Bot promised to be the biggest game made to date by Team Asobi with 80 levels. Speaking to EDGE Magazine (issue #400), Team Asobi's Studio Director and Creative Director Nicolas Doucet revealed that the developer considered an open world design but decided against it to provide optimal variety. Actually, we did consider, at first: should this be an open world game? In the end, we went for a level-based approach, because […]

Astro Bot is arguably Sony's most promising first-party exclusive for 2024 in a year otherwise devoid of big releases. The platform game looked great on its State of Play debut, but it won't support PS VR2 despite the franchise launching on the first PS VR headset with 2018's Astro Bot: Rescue Mission. At Summer Game Fest 2024, Push Square asked Team Asobi's Studio Director and Creative Director Nicolas Doucet why. You can read his response below. So, we focused 100% on this one from the get-go after Astro's Playroom. It was the hope that if it was welcome, it could […]
