Astro Bot has continually created a very special space in the hearts of numerous gamers for the last eight years. However, now the team working behind it has finally decided to introduce the bot via it’s titular PS5 adventure. In order to trace this evolution, we need to dwrlve into the intial making of Astro Bot.
Team Asobi wanted to primarily experiment with the Dual Shock 4 controller connection along with the PS4 Camera creating a demo that had been provisionally named “Little AR Men”. This demo included tiny robots which would interact with the player on the floor of the living room. Since the creators did not have any art planned they stuck with primitive shapes like cylinders and added little eyes onto them. Eventually they started working with artists and designed the bots using the Sony Robotics style.
In order to make the bots look more particular they added big eyes and made them waddle creating an impression of baby robots. The AR bots soon became customised for the Playroom VR, paving the way for Astro Bot to get a more central role in exerting control for a VR platformer prototype.
A PlayStation blue livery and other attractive additional features which the Astro Bot boasts were included to make it stand out from the environment. Astro officially claimed his name in the year 2018 with the release of solo PlayStation VR platformer, Astro Bot Rescue Mission. After this, the team had the careful job of making sure that the Astro Bot had the striking features that needed to be updated since it was becoming a solo escapade. Since it was already made in a way that it stood out, it benefited from minute details which were made even more comprehensive in Astro Bot.
The striking features making the Astro Bot so revolutionary even now include it’s Blue Led eyes, jetpack, chrome dome and the robo voice. There are a few constants that remain in the Astro Bot which provides an efficient way to determine the character’s growth over the years. This includes the head plate.
Being in PS5 means being in 4k resolution which calls for more details and structure making Astro and hi companions stand out which even extends to the flora and fauna of the game. The excitement for the release of Astro Bot is completely valid for the gamers. However, the wait is not too long since the launch is officially rolling out on the 6th of September
