@LtSarge I was going by the listing for the game here, which hasn't been updated.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I know I don't have it. I only add something I think I have a chance of playing most of the time, and I would have skipped it if it was listed as a VR title at the time. There was also about a year where I stupidly didn't pay a whole lot of attention and didn't add anything while I was using my Xbox One X exclusively for a long while a few years ago or so. Not sure if the times line up, but it is another possible reason.

@RogerRoger If they do make a sequel, I don't expect them to continue the theme of celebrating PlayStation's history. That feels like something they only did for this game since it came packed in with the PS5. The next game should just be something on its own entirely. I'd still enjoy a game like that a lot!

It's a shame that Astro, as a character, has been trapped in a bunch of introductory tech demos (or at least, what appear to the casual observer to be introductory tech demos) for PlayStation's various gimmicks because I think you're right, I think he's got wider potential. Beyond that, I gather the developer recently underwent some corporate restructuring shenanigans; I sure hope their talent survived the transition, and that Sony are listening to the widespread calls for a fully-fledged follow-up.

@KilloWertz It sucks that it's not clear that you can play the game without PSVR. I'd wager a lot of people skip the game because they think they need the peripheral. Well, it is what it is.

@RogerRoger That is true. Sony has something good here, they just need to give Astro a proper shot instead of only using him for «demos» so to speak.

Just finished Bound on PS4. Very short
