Astro Bot Finally Proves VR Can Be More Than a Tech Demo

While many VR titles feel like half-baked demos at high prices, Sony's Astro Bot Rescue Mission is a complete package that is great for the industry.

Astro Bot is great. But there were games out way before it that proved vr was more than tech demos. And it's bogus to exclude 2 of its best games to try to prove your point blogger.

Psvr is $199. PS4 is $199. That's the price of a Pro and you get Moss, Astrobot and Spider-Man. That's a deal if you act now before they sell out. Saying tech demos over and over doesn't make it true. And smaller games were priced right.

But this year, psvr has been killing it. There's game genres for everyone. Racing, flying, puzzle, horror, action, rpg, platformers, billiards, shooters, etc. And there's more and more coming.

Just amazing.

I agree. Before Astrobot, there was RE7, Rez Infinite, Skyrim VR, Firewall, Sculpture VR, Blasters of the Universe, Home Sweet Home, Wipeout VR, etc. It's true that the PSVR had a handful of mediocre tech demos like Unearthing Mars, drone strike, Perfect, Weeping doll and Heroes of seven seas, but thankfully, overtime, its library expanded with many great and worthy titles. Sure, there were a few that were middling/disappointing like The Walker, Animal Force, Syren, Ark Park, Theseus, Ranch Planet, and such, but hey, not every platforms are free from lukewarm titles. There's still a lot of untapped potential with the PSVR and I'm hopeful that it'll get expanded in the future.
