On 6 September, one of the most anticipated releases of the autumn took place - the PlayStation 5 exclusive Astro Bot, which also became the most highly rated game of 2024. Journalist Jason Schreier spoke with Nicolas Doucet, director of Astro Bot, and in this article, we have selected the most important things from the conversation.
Over its 30-year history, PlayStation has given us a large number of game franchises. Some of them have appeared relatively recently, like Horizon, and have already gained a large audience, and there are many more games to come. God of War, for example, has been around since 2005, and the series has even gone through a relaunch, and it has done it good. The Last of Us celebrated its first anniversary last year and still has big plans ahead (let's just mention that the game already has a TV series). However, recently, it has not always been a beautiful story. At the end of August 2024, the online shooter Concord was released, and on 6 September, its servers were closed due to the lack of interest among players. The game took at least 4 years and $100 million to develop, and it lasted only a couple of weeks. But at the same time, there are franchises that Sony has abandoned (or forgotten) for various reasons and we haven't heard about them for years, although the same 100 million could have been spent on reviving what players loved so much in their time. The gg editorial team decided to recall 7 forgotten PlayStation franchises that players would love to return to.
In general, Team Asobi managed to create a high-quality 3D platformer where you constantly say to yourself: "I'm going to finish one more level and go to sleep," but you can't stop.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released on 9 December on PC (Steam) and Xbox Series, including Game Pass. In spring 2025, the game will be available on PlayStation 5.
Astro Bot is one of the best gaming experiences I've had in 2024. There were a lot of expectations for the game even before its release, so the gg editorial team couldn't pass it up and decided to go on a galactic journey. Team Asobi has managed to create a high-quality 3D platformer where you constantly say to yourself: "I'm going to finish one more level and go to sleep", and then you look at the clock and an hour has passed. Several galaxies, dozens of planets with unique levels, mechanics, gadgets and, of course, a lot of characters from PlayStation games that will make both people who have been playing since the PlayStation 2 era and those who entered the world of gaming just a few years ago smile. And all this is complemented by the use of all possible DualSense features, such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. And probably no game has ever used all the features of this gamepad as much as Astro Bot, so it was simply impossible not to fall in love with this game.
As for PlayStation 5, there is no detailed data. It is only known that at the end of August, approximately 3 million people played the game on the console.
However, the game will continue to be improved.
Not a bad selection.
At the same time, you can buy the game for 20% cheaper on Steam until 9 September.
And it happens...
It's also worth noting that RDR2 is more meditative than GTA, which has constant action. Therefore, those who have not played games with a similar pace will need time to get used to it.
And it costs $12.
The story takes place in 2001, when Ecuador is close to qualifying for the FIFA World Cup.
