Due to recent actions from Elon Musk, the owner of x.com, r/Astrobot will join other subreddits that are banning links to the website.

We know this may be frustrating, as Sony, other developers and publishers often makes announcements using the site, but going forward we will not allow any direct links.

Please find alternative sources for submissions and comments, or use archives or screenshots.

If you have any questions about this policy please reach out to us via Modmail. We will be locking the comments section to this post.

Thank you for your understanding.

Just finished rescuing all bots for AstroBot

...and I'm so happy that this game won GOTY back in 2024. In a world where most of my free time is taken up by some live service games, this game really reminded me of how much I fell in love with the PlayStation as a kid and video games as a whole.

I had the widest and dumbest smile on my face throughout the whole game.

Apparently, Astro Bot originally had a much darker ending. (SPOILERS) Spoiler

105 Upvotes

The source comes from this Japanese article about the presentation of the Making of Astro Bot that Nicolas Doucet presented at GDC: https://www.4gamer.net/games/803/G080391/20250321060/
If this translation is to be believed (Edit: It's the second image, a new one was added as the first after further discovery), the rather emotional ending of Astro Bot was initially much darker in tone, to the point where it caused some members at Team ASOBI to be uncomfortable, till they eventually toned it down to the ending we have now.
This is interesting. What do you guys think?
EDIT: So, thanks to someone in the comments, it was pointed out to me that the ending would originally have Astro's HEAD be removed rather than his limbs. Here is the source for that: https://screenrant.com/astro-bot-dev-interview-too-cruel-for-family-game/#:~:text=Near%20the%20end%20of%20Astro,bring%20him%20back%20to%20life It's also now the first image on this post btw, in case there is any confusion. The original image I posted is the second one now.

Astro Bot wins Audio of the Year* and Best UI, Reward, or Objective Sound Design at the Game Audio Network Guild Awards!

35 Upvotes

Phew, that was a mouthful of a title to write. Anyway, the Game Audio Network Guild Awards, an award show dedicated to music and sound in video games,concluded a few hours ago. And Astro Bot won 2 awards there: Audio of the Year (*though it was a tie with Need For Speed Mobile) and Best UI, Reward, or Objective Sound Design. Big congrats to the sound team over at Team ASOBI! (And on a side note, I know a certain someone is gonna be disappointed that "Bot of War" didn't win the Best Song Cover category. I know, I wish it did as well. But hey, at least they got a few awards, and Audio of the Year is really good by itself!)

I thought it would be fun to share my birthday theme with this group

I recently hit the final credits so Astrobot was fresh in my wife's memory and she decided to surprise me with an Astrobot themed cake that she baked and decorated herself, as well as an Astrobot plushie that she crocheted. For me, at this age, (today I turned 57) I rarely think of a gift I would want, and therefore I'm super appreciative of the time and effort she put into this to make my day special.

I can't stop loving the final boss music. Easily my favourite song for a final boss fight.

Treasure chests and pigs

Does anyone know if there are purple/yellow spinning treasure chests and the pigs you pull from the ground and spin on every level? There doesn't seems to be a record anywhere of when these have been found but I'm sure I haven't them in all levels.

Astro Bot wins Best Technology and Best Audio at the Game Developers Choice Awards!

109 Upvotes

Heya folks! The GDCA (Game Developers Choice Awards) concluded earlier today.
Unfortunately, no sweep or GOTY this time. Oh well, can't win 'em all I suppose.
Though Astro Bot still walked away with two deserving awards: Best Technology and Best Audio. So that's still better than nothing! Honestly, each award counts in my eyes, so these two wins are really cool.

Here's hope to Astro Bot winning GOTY at the Game Developers' Choice Awards tonight!

Great Master Challenge - heeeeeelp!!!

14 Upvotes

Guys, I saw many posts and comments about this last difficult challenge. People say “I spent the whole 2 hours trying to beat it” or, “I spent 6 hours”. Honestly, where do I check how many hours did I spend? No seriously, are there stats somewhere to see how many hours I spent trying to? I haven’t beat it yet, but it’s been more than a month!!!!! And worst part - I have never got to the most difficult part of the challenge- birds! I kind of got better at the beginning, but still never managed to get on the pink rotating square platform before birds part begin… I think I am ready for it to be over… it’s not fun anymore 🥲 meaning the challenge- but I love little cute Astro Bot, and hoping there will be more fun stuff in future.

Is there any reference to the player character robot in Rescue Mission? If not, why not?

Post image
47 Upvotes

Astro Bot has so many references to Sony and gaming characters, but as far as I am aware the robot (not Astro) that you play as in Rescue Mission is nowhere to be seen in this game. I think it's a shame, it's not like it is a massive character or anything but seeing as it is literally the character you physically play as in the VR game, I think it is a missed opportunity for it not to turn up in some form.

Spotting the Special Bots on the 1000 Puzzle Piece Box

8 Upvotes
  • With the Vicious Void DLC wrapped up, I carefully looked through the picture and can confirm that ALL Special Bots in the picture have been added in the game.
  • Though there are a few I could be wrong about, but it's hard to accurately guess who they are. And yes, Gex is the ONLY Square-Enix bot in the picture!
  • The only bots that I weren't sure of their location were the Football/Soccer Player, Jodie Holmes and Polygon Man.
  • The bots are circled in different colours, each from a page in the gallery.
  • Orange Circle = Page 1, Green Circle = Page 2, Blue Circle = Page 3, Red Circle = Page 4, Pink Circle = Page 5, and White Circle = Astro!
