The Ape Escape themed level in Sony and Team Asobi's Astro Bot was developed by the original creators of the series.
Haven't played Astro Bot yet, but it is on my to buy list! Ape Escape was such a fun game.
Team Asobi could definitely pull it off
It would be nice to switch between Astro Bot and another IP like Ape Escape.
Was playing some more Ape Escape last night. I like it but wow, the controls! That stage where it's a 1 on 1 race with the other guy. Is that even possible to win?? Fighting the camera the entire time, and how do you use that water jet thing without sinking below the surface of the water? As soon as you go below the surface you're screwed because you have to wait to float back up to the surface before you can jump out.
Hold R1 without moving in the water, you'll boost straight up to get back to the surface.
Dear Sony, please make another Astro Bot game for PSVR2, the PSVR1 Astro Bot Rescue Mission was wonderful. Thank you.
They could even patch Astrobmt PS5 to add VR mode.
Surely that would be a win-win?
I will gladly take that as well. Give us both Remaster on VR2, and a brand new game!
Team Asobi are my favourite developers. The new FREE speedrun levels are amazing. Can’t wait for the next three! If the newest one is any indication then we are in for some challenge people.
Prediction. One of the next speedrun levels will be a space level and one of them will be a water based level with the penguin ability.

Replies(2)I thought I was losing it. Everything is working in my house except PSN. I checked the PSN page an hour ago and it was all green checks.
I just checked again, everything is red. Says they're doing maintenance.
It finally came back up but I must say that it's really unacceptable to not be able to play my games when it's down. Also I have gain a new appreciation for physical games. I know digital keeps growing and growing but the thing is you are paging for something you don't have complete control over and that's lame.
It has been over a year since ps+ expired and i only play SP games. I only got 1 month ps+ basic back when i had to do rdr2 online trophies.
I couldn’t care less and shows sp games will always FTW
....and this is why everyone should support more than one platform. Switch has been getting more play time as a result.
Well i am locked out of my digital single player games because offline play wasn't activated and licences can't be verified. And i got no physical games. Gotta remember to activate that when it's back up.
Hopefully it comes back up soon.
I have several PS4 consoles in my house for various purposes, I'm screwed because I have such a large collection and I don't want to have redownload whenever I want to play a game. I want to fire it up, like going to a shelf, pulling a game off the shelf, putting it in the disc drive and off you go that fast. Can't do that with digital and limited HDD space. Installing a disc is faster, you don't have to worry about data caps and internet speeds, and storage space is really expensive. Xbox just allowed a 16TB HDD to be accessed by Xbox, but that 16TB is gonna cost you, even more if it's SSD, if those even exist yet.....
It is still down but if you go to settings -users and accounts- other - restore licenses i managed restore a license to a single player game. Back to replaying GOW Ragnarok.
Single player my a**
I have downloaded unicorn overlord, Spiderman 1 And many offline single player but I am getting error to restore license but psn is down in UK.
What a load of bullshit that I can't even play single player games...
Digital is future /s :@
Ask PlayStation X: "We are aware some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN."
I'm playing Fortnite with my cousin right now, but it's the only game with servers up, the rest is working, library, store, downloads, it's just the online, which sucks, cause I wanted to play Helldivers and Phasmophobia
Saturday midday for me so no biggie Friday night would be annoying
Seems to be a big one so might extend into Saturday for the you guys
Yeah, no end in sight. I watched some KCD2 streams to pass the time. Time to call it a night 😴
Down for me but single player PS plus games still work and obviously anything I own digitally or physically so big deal
There’s definitely no denying that some games might have been undeservedly bashed by critics. The reasons why vary from game to game, but there’s a lot of diamonds out there in gaming that have been obscured by plenty of rough.
Return Fire (PS1). It has a Metacritic of 71 but it is one of the best games on PS1. https://www.metacritic.com/...
Warframe. Started life with a 64 on meta but improved quite a bit over the years. I put north of 1000hrs in.
I suppose that's just a case of the score not updating as the game slowly got better. The PS5 and Switch versions are 85/86.
Can we address how odd it is for the idea of hated by critics seems to work at anything below 80%? 3 of these 10 have a critics score of 70 or higher and only 1 has a score below 50.
I would say anything below 40 would be bad / hated, 40-59 is ok but missable, 60-69 is functionally average, 70-79 is good, 80-89 is very good, 90-94 is outstanding GOTY candidate, 95+ is genre defining
currently playing Chrono Cross, Grandia, FF9, Vagrant Story, Wild Arms 1&2, Breath of Fire 4 and Legend of Mana.
i never was into JRPGs as a kid. i played many games in all other genres and cant believe what i have been misssing out on. i highly recommend them and am glad im getting to play them.
FF's on the vita are awesome, hell any of these also work on the vita, so all worth a look if you have the cash.
