Astro's Playroom Is Half The Length of Astro Bot Rescue Mission

Astro's Playroom is one of the launch games for the PS5 which will come installed with every console, and it is not going to be a short game.

4-5 hours. Not bad for a free game.

[SullysCigar]

Yup, this is also old news. We've know how long it is for AGES now lol

[MrNinosan]

Since when? All we knew before yestersay was a ”multi-hour adventure and not just a demo”.
Did you have any other source that was more specific ages ago?

[SullysCigar]

^ Yes, when Geoff Keighley played it and demonstrated the DualSense for the first time live.

We got more information about the game at that time (July 17), which quashed the rumours that this is just a controller demo/tutorial and confirmed that it is in fact a multi-hour, albeit smaller sequel to the VR original. PSU did an article on it at the time and it's been talked about since on the podcasts I watch (like PSVRWithoutParole).

EDIT: If you've mistaken me for someone trying to downplay, don't - the first game was my first platinum! I adored it and I'm pumped to get hold of the sequel! I just get fed up with people trying to pass this off as a '10 minutes and done' novelty.

[MrNinosan]

So your source was as I thought. When we learnt it was a multi-hour game, but we didn’t know it was 4-5 hours.
Gratz on Platinum Astro Bot.
An amazing VR-game.

[SullysCigar]

^ Thanks man, I was grinning like a big kid the whole way through it and I need MORE!

After that I got addicted to Beat Saber and platinumed it during my lockdown cardio lol

[Hakuoro]

Of course keep in mind that's if you just go from A -B and don't do any side stuff.

[lifeisgamesok]

Especially for a platformer, this will probably be the 1st game I play on my PS5

[Jin_Sakai]

4-5 hours seems great for a pre installed game. It looks really fun also. This little guy is becoming a PlayStation mascot.

[SyntheticForm]

I like him.

Never been a fan of Sackboy but I like this little guy.

[Muzikguy]

I think they should make more games with him. He easily could be a mascot you're right. Between this and the Sackboy game it's nice to see platform games return. I have a feeling my 4 year old will like these.

[garos82]

i have a feeling my 35 year old ass will love this game. The robot is super cute

[lukasmain]

I think the best part is that it will 'show off' in a way, all the new features of the DualSense controller. I'm looking forward to (after playing the game) pondering on the what the possibilities will be in regards to using the dualsense features and how games will FEEL in the future.

[purple101]

Might I point out. As wel as the triggers and haptic.

There's an improved central touch pad
A vastly improved speaker
The improved LED lights
(visible on the front either side of touchpad)

And a different raised grip on the analogue sticks.

I hope Astro's Playroom does well and we get another Astro game on PS5 sometime in the future.

[MrNinosan]

It will sell over 100 million copies minimum 👍

[Hedstrom]

It looks awesome!

[Gamerking82]

My question is can you delete this installed game that i have no interest for so that i have more space for games i want to play.

[Thatgrammar]

@Gamerking82
Yes

[Gamerking82]

Thank you. I have nothing against this game at all, but its just not for me. And the money ive spent on the console i would hope that i could install and delete games that i want and not what others say i want.

[Mr_Luke]

Well, great news, i thought it was a lot less long. Nice!

[Einhander1971]

quality over quantity:)

[Deathdeliverer]

If someone raises hell about a free game not being a 20 hour epic I’m going to pass out.

[CrimsonWing69]

I mean it's free. Wouldn't have paid for it anyways, might as well as have fun with it since it's pre-loaded.

[SinisterKieran]

oh nooooo this free game is super short omg how could they do this to us. umph! /s

[nickanasty206]

I wish 3rd party devs would use all the cool bells and whistles that these showcase games do.

[boing1]

They will.

[buffig]

Nice to have something to play straight out of the box while Demon's souls downloads. Get to try out all those new dualsense features at the same time. Can't wait.

[Bathyj]

They should patch in VR support.
