Astro was awesome, this will be the same just bigger and longer.
Im really hyped, still im such a cheap ass im not gonna buy it for this kind of money. This is one of those games which will be free on PSN next year, or will be heavily discounted on christmas already, then maybe.

It will be great for sure

vr sucks ass.
Adding vr would make the game worse and more limited. f that.
It's one of best games this year

ah, what you mean is "kicks ass", my little bro. And no, it would've made it twice as good, at least. Having real-life scale and a much more real sense of depth in platformers is just on another level entirely. I don't mean they only had to make it VR, just optional mode so that peasants ands derps can enjoy it as well.
How would it make it limited? that doesn't make any sense. VR adds, especially in terms of how you can control something, one of the best things with VR.

Not sure I agree. Them focusing on VR in addition to standard would have resulted in less time to focus on standard.

Anyway,completed a bunch of levels. It’s great but doesn’t feel as good as Mario etc- perhaps as it doesn’t feel quite as fresh as it did last time around. Still, visually stunning and controls are on point. Deffo a great game!

VR isn't suck, but I mostly agree with that post, games like this should be played the old school way, vr games need to be more specific.

Those sackboy games gets extremely high praise too, i bought the one for PS5, it's total ass if you've ever played Mario 64 and even the later ones (galaxy and whatever). it not a 9/10, more like a 6.5/10. This looks like maybe a 7.5/10 to me.

If this had VR it would've been such a stand-out because there really aren't too many VR platformers, at least not with high budget. System seller for sure for their VR which they're kind of struggling with. Idiots. Would totally have been worth it, and many would've been ok if it came at a later date.

Leo pls cool it bro.

Anyways, trying to keep on topic here, I’ve thrown another few hours at this and it’s getting better. More challenging and more variety now I’ve done a few more worlds.

I still don’t think it’s got the allure or environments of a 3D Mario Nintendo standard, however I will say it’s getting better and better as I go. I’d stick it at 8.5-9 at the moment. Wouldn’t be surprised if my final score is higher still.

Well worth buying if not to encourage Sony and co to start making more 3d platformers!!

And the 47466437 review videos that you haven’t even watched were necessary?

I don’t watch “all” of the videos I post admittedly but they are relevant to the posts.
I don’t have to watch everything to post them though, do I?
I appreciate some people don’t appreciate it but maybe some do after all “you can’t please everyone”.
You don’t have to click on the videos I post and if me posting videos bothers you, put me on ignore, no?

BTW I feel like it’s more than 47466437 Razz

“Put me on ignore” is the kid answer. How about, instead of acting like a kid with some dumb emoticon, you consider the rationale. Your videos slow down the tab and blow up in memory. On mobile, this is significant. And what is the point? You don’t watch them, almost nobody else watches them; hence “spam”. Post just to post, but decrease the browsing quality of users, and for what? Go back several months of your spam posts and look at the engagement you get. Almost zero to most videos. At this point, you have spammed enough at this point to know which reviewers and trailers get engagement and which just go ignored. Optimize and just post that one video, which is the only one people click and watch anyway. It makes a lot more impact and doesn’t degrade experience on the forum.

I don’t like your response.
I have an iPhone 15 and have no issues with a page full of videos.
But how about I post as much as I want and use spoiler tags so they’re not visible?

headshot, i'm agreeing with leo here, i also consider it as a spam.
Maybe post it as a spoiler i dunno, or better yet, if you think this adds value to the threads, watch the videos, and tell us a tl;dr
usually these videos add 0 value to the thread and are just idiots bragging about how they like or not like this game.
Don't we have enough ragers here on nfohump that already brag about games running terribly or being a piece of shit ?

You will say i'm nitpicking, and while PS5 pro announcement for tomorrow is great to know, i'd rather have you post the official Sony announcement on their blog or their twitter, rather than videos from IGN and what not.
I don't need a YouTube video to announce a Sony announcement.

So what? It's the exact same genre. They're 100% comparable and why i don't trust reviews for this one either. Sackboy games are mostly 8.5-10's then of course this one will be in that range too if it's just as a good as Sackboy (and i don't doubt it is). What i mean is these games are highly overrated, perhaps because PS doesn't have things like Mario so Sackboy is seen as the gold standard, when it's actually more like 7/10 games, decent but far from classics.

I see what you mean. Obviously Mario is well above anything Sony does in term of platformers. Super Mario Odyssey is a master piece compared to this.
