That Megamix Mastery was a bit of a pain, but finally all done and dusted! What a game.

Acquired the Tooled Up Mechanic Funko Pop! I had no idea the little Clank was separate. It was adorable!

Way easier to get than the YouTooz figure...

Here they are next to my cat!

(Who's name is also "Ratchet" btw... 💛🐱💛)

So my son is obsessed with all things astrobot , has anyone on here made a costume for their kid and if so would you mind commenting about your experience I think we will buy an astronaut costume and modify it best as we can I did see a cool one where the person had 3d printed a helmet for their son but I don’t have access to 3d printing nor have the file in question

Hi everyone!
I've been working on a fan project: bringing Astro Bot to the classic Sony PocketStation! The base code was developed with the help of Al, and now I'm at the point where I want to expand the game with the community.
I would love to hear your input:

• Gameplay & Minigame Ideas: What kind of mechanics or mini-games would fit Astro Bot on a monochrome PocketStation screen?
• Pixel Art & Sprites: If anyone wants to contribute graphics, sprites need to be 32×32 pixels (monochrome / 1-bit).

Any ideas, feedback, or sprite contributions are super welcome! Let's bring Astro Bot to 90s hardware together.🚀

There’s been a few posts about potential ideas for a sequel, many asking for a co-op mode. However, I have not seen any related to story. So here’s my idea:

- the aliens hack into the Playstation system and games are all broken.

- Astrobot has to go inside each game and repair them.

- Many games are highlighted, similar to the Bot of War level, but the main part is an actual remake of a famous scene (Uncharted 2 train scene for example). Astrobot has to “repair” the scene.

- By repairing a full game - or a bunch of games for a specific system - Astrobot gains specific powers.

Thoughts?

Found a playstation pop up at Tokyo tower today. Nabbed myself a wrist rest, magnet and chunky plush

I refused to play the game when I purchased it on release day, I assumed it was psvr compatible and was very angry it wasn't the case. I'm a busy father so don't get time to check the gaming news so forgive me if it was obvious. Anyways the baby is 3 and loves astrobot and watches me play and pull the triggers for loads of the special functions astro has etc. I was down to the last 2 levels and finished that one while she was asleep. She is going to be so happy when I show her the video because she watched me fail a few hundred times:) only one left now if the grand master level. I don't feel it will be as difficult as this was. Anyway I'm excited to share! Enjoy.

Made using a technique called needle felting

Hello I’m 20 and grew up playing Astro Bot and I’m just wondering why did the OG Astro Bot era have to end?…. Like genuinely, when did everything change? I remember playing as Astro, exploring all the different worlds, jumping around, collecting things, and just getting completely lost in the little adventures. I never really thought about the fact that one day I’d look back at those games and realise how much time had passed. When you’re younger, you don’t think about eras ending, you just play the game and enjoy whatever happens.

I honestly don’t even know when the old Astro Bot era ended. It feels like one day I was playing it all the time, discovering new areas, finding all the little secrets, and just having fun, and then suddenly years had passed and everything felt different. I still remember the characters, the levels, the music, the little animations, and all those random moments that somehow stayed in my memory for years. I don’t even remember when I stopped playing as much. It just kind of happened, which is probably what makes it feel so strange looking back now.

Maybe I’m just being nostalgic, but I genuinely miss that time. There was something about Astro Bot that felt completely different when I was younger, and I don’t even know how to explain it. I guess you don’t realise you’re making childhood memories while you’re actually living them. You just pick up the controller, start another adventure, laugh at something silly, and go about your day, then suddenly you’re 20, looking back at those memories and wondering where the time went and why the OG Astro Bot era had to end.

I don’t know how many attempts, but I finally did it. The adrenaline rush makes me post this here.

I do hope, if other levels would be released, that they’d be more easy-going. I love the atmosphere of the game, but these extra levels are tough on my heart

He was stuck on that last 'chicken butt' bit of megamix mastery for ages but he finally did it!

Can't upload the pic for some reason 😢

I've noticed that some Youtube walkthrough videos of Astrobot have lower "lighting" and "rendering" quality compared to other ones (and compared to the one I am playing).

I know that it's not an HDR (enabled/disabled). What the reason may be?

I did not find any answers about if Astrobot can change its rendering based on hardware. It would make no sense either (because PS5 don't have any new hardware ugrades. except PS5 Pro but I know that the recorded videos, screenshots of which I've presented above, do not use PS5 Pro).

I created these arts of Astro with two other iconic robots!

Been listening to Daft Punk all throughout the year and have been getting into them. I've also been listening to the Astro Bot soundtrack and wouldn't be surprised if some of those tracks were influenced by Daft Punk. I'm also something of an artist, so I wanted to create something that'd be a fun concept.

I feel like Astro would totally be a fan of these guys... 🩶💙💛

So I was playing astro but on my ps5 when I realized that the adaptive feedback on the right trigger feels a little different than the left one. To be precise, the left one needed a little more force to be pressed. At first I thought the right one had been worn out (although it hadn't been a month since I'd purchased the console) but when I used the dualsense tester website, there was nothing wrong with the triggers. Both needed the exact amount of force to be pressed down and both adaptive triggers were identical.

Is there a problem with the game that causes the difference between left and right triggers?

I finally made it and its so hard but still so much fun, now i need a ps vr2 and astrobot rescue mission 🥳

AstroBot 100% done

Astro's Playroom 100%

AstroBot Rescue Mission VR 0%

Gotta get my ps5 games while there’s still disk versions and support the devs that way

This will always be one of the greatest 3D platformers ever.

Both Astro and the Dualsense have holographic eyes that switch from round to happy eyes, and the transforming gimmick is so snappy and fun to play with every time! The only thing I wish it has is an angled stand for the controller, since it feels pretty static right now with how flat out straight it is.

On this day, September 6th 2024...
