    Saw the thumbnail and title, immediately clicked. This is so underrated, I'm subscribing immediately. 20 views is insane.

    They stole every single idea from Nintendo I don't play Nintendo I'm on Xbox but this game is highway robbery! I will be very surprised if Nintendo doesn't sue Sony.

      Of course mario invented platformers and collectables, such a brain moment

      @ZeraSoul stop ✋️ just stop ✋️ dude I bet Sony bought a switch and bought every Mario game played thru each one and took their ideas verbatim. This is not it's similar it has not one original idea!

      I would argue that this is not a bad thing. In our video, I made the argument that originality is not a prerequisite to excellence. Astro Bot is, by the strictest definition of the word, not in the least bit original. Instead, it built upon an established and proven foundation and - I would argue - IMPROVED on it. This is exactly the kind of game design I want. Don’t get me wrong - I don’t want everything to be a Mario wannabe from now on - but I strongly argue that originality is NOT always a virtue, and imitation is NOT always a vice.
      So, Astro Bot may very much be Sony’s “Mario”, if you will, right down to the game design elements themselves. But is that really a bad thing? Iteration is the soul of invention. If everyone in history had decided they couldn’t copy the wheel because someone else had already invented it, we’d still be in the stone ages. Building on the excellence of the past is what has given us the accomplishments of the present. With that in mind, I will argue again: Astro Bot is a modern masterpiece.

      I don’t see why that’s necessary. For example, I don’t understand Elden Ring ultra-fans - I much prefer Sekiro myself - but I don’t hate them. Let’s keep our debates and disagreements civil, please, regardless of how strong our opinions might be.
