Astro Bot it is one of the PS5 exclusives arriving this year and will allow you to discover once again how much the console (and above all its controller) can offer to the world of video games. At the same time, it is curious that the game Does not support PS VR2as Team Asobi and the Astro Bot IP were born around virtual reality.
Why doesn’t Astro Bot even partially use the Sony viewer? This question was asked by Pushsquare at Nicolas Doucet, head of Team Asobi and Creative Director of the video game.
Why Astro Bot doesn’t support PS VR2
There Doucet’s reply it was very simple: because Astro Bot was never designed for virtual reality, so it wouldn’t make sense to include support for it.
More precisely, the man said: “After Astro’s Playroom, here we go focus 100% on this game. The hope was that if it was popular, it could be a platformer that could stand up for itself and that we could make a bigger version,” he says, explaining that the intention was always to follow the free product with a game for PS5 complete. “So no, [PSVR2] was not taken into consideration.”
“When we talk about VR and non-VR, for a game like Astro, if you want to make a VR version, it has to be completely designed for that medium. And if it’s not a VR game, it still has to be completely designed for that medium,” he explains. “Some games can afford to be hybrid, like first-person games, because there’s more similarity. But in our case, the design philosophy of the two versions is very, very different. The decision was to expand the world of Astro’s Playroom and bring Astro to the big stage. So, from the beginning, that’s been our goal.”
Finally, we would like to point out that Astro Bot will receive free updates: here’s what kind.
