Bastards got me wavering on my planned physical pre order to maybe switching to digital deluxe! This game is going to be AMAZING!

 

[nial]

Hunter bot confirmed too.

 

[StueyDuck]

Day 1

 

[Kamina]

Has more charm and love for detail than anything else released lately.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

They should give that cosmetic shit out for free.

I remember when pre-ordering actually meant something.

 

[Quantum253]

I don't pre-order anything, but might do this to show studio support and encourage more like it

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Pre ordering instantly

Hard buy

Day 1.

 

[White-fire]

Wow the Astrobot outfits are amazing, the gold one is ace!

 

[tommib]

Bloodborne skin…

 

[[Sigma]]

I better hear about them pre-orders popping!

 

[Kuranghi]

Super excited about this, fucking loved the packin game.

I was a bit bummed because it looked like mostly pretty linear levels, SM3DW style, but that's clearly a big wide open level!

So double excited now. I don't want much of it spoiled bur I'd love to see a preview of one of the open levels to see the scope. Something like Bowser's Fury is perfect imo and this looks just like that.

progression thru the game unlocks cosmetics

progression thru the game unlocks cosmetics

Why pre-order then?

 

[nial]

Lady Maria is also in, sweet.
Also, neat to finally have Gran Turismo representation, as Astro's Playroom didn't have any.

 

[nial]

Selene too! tommib

Why pre-order then?

Because some people may want access to the stuff early?... plus other perks? for instance physical pre order gets a poster? i provided a link in the OP

No, I get that, but pre-ordering usually implies something exclusive...

If everyone gets the prize, why pre-order?

I mean it it's for the poster then it's for the poster.

Pre-orders like that don't provide any value in my eyes, at least not for them to have my money before launch.

Day zero

 

[ReBurn]

I'll spring for the deluxe edition in hopes it convinces Sony to make more games like this

The avatars and poster are the exclusive items gained from physical and digital pre ordering. the outfits you get access to immediately as well as controller skins, but can be unlocked as progression goes thru the game.

 

[reinking]

Astro Bot Rescue Mission is one of my favorite games of all time. The whole series is just a lot of happy fun. In.

They will make more of what people buy, so this will be a good ole fashioned test of people putting there money where the mouth is !!

 

[BearNecessity]

I dont understand the hype. VR was the only thing the original had going for it and now it doesnt even have that.
6/10 game guaranteed

 

[iHaunter]

Bloodborne skin…

 

[Shin-Ra]

My Astro Bot identifies as ‘El Capitan Astro’ and nobody else so shove your early costume unlocks!

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Alebrije]

Hunter bot confirmed too.

Because Astro's Playroom was very fun and platformer games are much needed these days.

 

[dorkimoe]

physical day 1

 

[Oppoi]

I'd love to pay for first party games.

£10 extra TGC rewards is the only useful info. They take the money as soon as you pre/order, not on dispatch.

I already have 2 reasons im not getting this day 1 (no co-op or PSVR2 support) but will now throw in a random 3rd.

They need to have Sackboy join in the fun...Astro and Sacky would go great together, especially with the customizations.

 

[nial]

It really feels that Ape Escape is the Sony franchise getting most of the love on Astro Bot, there are 4 references already on the PS5 poster alone.

 

[Shin-Ra]

The TGC page loads now. £54.95 + 4549 rewards points worth £11.37 off your next game there within 12 months. TGC prices are often inflated to compensate for the high reward points.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Imagine not pre-ordering this if you liked Astro's Playroom and wanted a full game from that

 

[Magic Carpet]

I need to preorder a PS5 PRO first. When is that thing going to get announced/available?

We can't ask for these type games if we do not buy these type games.

VR support is something that could be patched in at a later date, in order to improve dev cycle.

 

[Draugoth]

This game has Bloodborne before the actual console lmao

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Waiting for a minute on the pre-order but this is a must buy.

 

[bitbydeath]

Grabbing that Deluxe.

Edit: Won’t be replacing my avatar though.

 

[R6Rider]

I'll be getting the physical version.

Why do people even preorder nowadays

 

[bitbydeath]

Why do people even preorder nowadays

Because of games like this which are guaranteed greatness.
