"I am never taking this off! NEVER-! Ooh, is that Sly Cooper?" I felt that at the core of my soul.😂 But yeah, this game is awesome. I hope it gets the awards it deserves.
It'll get the Family Game win and that's it. If I were to point to a game's Metacritic score as the most "deceptive" in terms of "nominee position" at The Game Awards, this, not Rebirth, would be it. It won't get a score and music nom. It won't get a narrative nom. It won't get a performance nom. It's only an outside shot for Art Direction. It's only an outside shot for Direction. Anyone saying it can win is dumb, and I have it at sixth place (was waiting to see if Shadow Generations got a 90+), if we're being quite honest. 1. Metaphor: ReFantazio (Lock) 2. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Lock) 3. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (Lock for nomination, can't win) 4. Unicorn Overlord (Probable) 5. Persona 3 Reload (Possible) 6. Astro Bot (Possible, but wouldn't necessarily be THAT surprised if it missed.)
The fact that this is a legit good game, no lie, shows the appreciation PlayStation has for its old titles... and the neglect. These were some of the most fun games back in the day and the fact that they got so lovingly recreated is awesome, but it shows how things have changed with the corporate landscape in games nowadays, especially for Sony. It's not just the nostalgia or a good game mechanics, but the fact that things have changed so drastically. This is just a fun game in every category that more games need to be like. It's the perfect balance of reliving what you love but giving you something new.
Indeed. These days, it's as much a tickling feeling to be reminded of the stuff you liked, along with the company, while also being reminded how most of these games wouldn't happen these days because they would be too "Risky". It's double-edged.
Yea. Unfortunately the big companies do one of two routes, where they either go for the same "safe" products for the most part that will make decent money but have no inventiveness and most people will forget a week after they stop playing, or they go the Nintendo route of trying a few different things here and there with their classic series, (to varying degrees of success), but then being vindictive of anyone who does the same or tries to be fans of them because they're so afraid of losing their identity. We live in a time where most of the companies that made the games that made gaming so beloved to begin with, have reached the point where they can never be those companies again because they've become too focused on trying to make money and survive, rather than care about their products or communities. There is the rare spark of light on occasion, like this game, but they've become fewer and fewer as time has gone on, and more and more we have to wade through the mess that is the indie scene in the hopes of finding the good ones that hide in there.
Fun fact (may not be a fact), those little Mount Fuji's that you catapult out of in the iron ball form, are exact replicas of the tiny Fuji erasers they give you if you answer a tourism survey at Haneda airport. I have one and it's adorable.
That intro tells it as it is. No Gooner bait, not needlessly depressing, not needlessly hyper realistic, and best of all, no extra transactions in sight. It’s straight up good ol’ fashioned happiness and fun… Imagine that! A game that’s meant to give you happiness instead of take more from you? What a concept!
I can’t tell you the utter disappointment I felt after getting my PS5, Playing Astro Bot and falling in love with all of the incredible features and then trying out some games that used NONE OF IT. In Astro Bot you can literally feel the difference between surface types under your feet, the vibration feels 3 dimensional, the triggers, all of it… absolutely “game changing”… literally. But no games use any of it… that made me so upset. I haven’t bought the full AstroBot game but I’m going to. I just want to experience everything the console is capable of for once…
@@Mulbert I actually just got Platinum! It was so much fun… the different trigger modes for the different guns and stuff is really cool and the vibration/sounds during cut scenes were awesome. Personally I’m a huge fan of “high res cartoon” style like that where they maintain the style and design but make all of the textures and animations super high quality. Not everything needs to be photorealistic humans and stuff. I’d love to see more games like R&C, Astro and stuff like that. More old school games that are designed to just be fun! I like more serious stuff too like TLOU and GoW, but sometimes a goofy little guy with a massive gun or a retro style platformer just hits different.
I suspect a lot of the big games that you're referring to were planned and started production before all the fancy haptic feedback and other features of the PS5 were available to be used. And then they didn't bother to retrofit them. And once that happened, other titles didn't bother either. Considering that most big titles seem have a hard time actually working properly at release these days, they have enough to deal with. I think we'll start to see games featuring the full panoply of PS5 features around when the PS6 comes out.
This is a rare game where not only is the game utterly fantastic, but it's using Nostalgia in an obvious but fun way and I am here for it. I was in tears of joy during the final boss fight. It also renamed Kratos to "Dad of Boy" and I'm never letting that go.
@@skyclaw36 They’re either avoiding it for some reason or there’s too much good games coming out. This year basically rivals the mid 2000’s of gaming, even down to the shovelware slop.
Wow I think it's kinda funny when this trailer called the final boss of Astrobot "Scalpers" considering those people are a major issue during the launch day of the PS5.
Say "We're sorry we haven't made an Honest Game Trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins yet” and then make an Honest Game Trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins.
1: Love the channel. Comedy gold. 2: Can we get an Honest Game Trailer for Star Wars: Republic Commando? Don't think you'll have much to criticize, but still. 3: PLEASE say, "Go Empire! CRUSH THOSE REBELS!!!"
It has to be relevant to pop culture or they're not going to do it. I've asked foe them do 'The Mask' years ago and straight up got ignored for years so I don't ask for anything anymore I just watch
If they can even get a THIRD of the way to rough it in time! And don’t even pretend they can beat it all anytime soon. I still have flashbacks about the length of Persona 5 Royal
The same week the Honest Trailer for Transformers One is released, can you release an Honest Game Trailer for Transformers: War for Cybertron and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron? I loved those games.
I like to think that the only reason this game did great was because all the higher-ups were busy messing up Concord. Now that they know that this glorified Tech demo has potential, they are definitely going to stick their greasy bony fingers in the sequel. Have fun with the new "pay to jump" feature.
This is a very, very good game, but one thing it also does is show how many Sony and Sony-related properties there are that are just sitting there, collecting dust. Like "Hey, Remember Ape Escape? Also remember how it hasn't had a proper game in 20 years? I hope you like this reference, because it's all you're getting!". The number of properties that are called back to in Astro Bot that haven't had a proper entry in decades, plural, is kinda depressing. Also, I was expecting at least one crack about how this game essentially aped its entire existence from Mario Galaxy. Not that I mind at all, mind you. If your platformer is going to ape from something, one of the best games of its genre ever made is a good choice. Still expected some form of snarky crack.
Working in the platinum for this game this week and its so fucking good. The levels are fun to jump through and explore and it respects the players time while challenging their intuition.
say: "we are extremely impressed with the project of the x-com project thus far commander, your recent results were beyond our expectations and that is not a statement this council makes lightly"
I can't believe you never did Factorio. I know what you're thinking: But I don't speak Spanish. I thought the same thing. Money well spent and you know it.
Sony needs to hear the message of this game's success loud and clear. Mascot platformers made them, and those games can still keep them popular today :)
"I am never taking this off! NEVER-! Ooh, is that Sly Cooper?" I felt that at the core of my soul.😂 But yeah, this game is awesome. I hope it gets the awards it deserves.
I miss Sly Cooper.
I did the exact same thing. Rocked the Hunter outfit until I found out I could dress up as my boy, and beat the rest of the game as Sly.

I think I've seen you before, do you watch Paranomra?
“Am I the dust that blows out of the memory card” hit a little too hard
I feel personally attacked! 😢

Only took 20+ years since Crash and Spyro, but PlayStation finally has a new platforming mascot!
Sackboy would like a word.
@@SAJL1VEconsidering you got his name wrong maybe he would not like a word
I honestly liked Sackboy both in gameplay and design way more, but yeah, Sony forgot about him
Sackbit crying in the corner
Knack is back!

Space Marine 2 honest trailer. Do it for the Emperor!
For the Emperor!
For the greater good!
Seriously this should've been out by now!
Brother!

I usually don't platinum games, but I did get the plat in Astro Bot this weekend. A genuinely fun and joy-filled game!
lol "...am I the dust that blows off the cartridge?" gold!
Astro Bot is the most Nintendo thing Sony has put out in a long time. Love it.
This is my choice for Game of the Year or at the very least the Platformer of the Year!
From Dragon Age Inquisition, can you say: "Beg that I succeed, for I have seen the throne of the gods, and it was empty."
That quote goes kinda hard ngl
"Over the top goonery"
*shows Burnice's trailer*
EEEEEEEYUP 🤣🤣
I also had a bit of an "Woooo!" Moment seeing that. Was good, pretty funny
Compared 2 previous banner trailer - this one as tame as it could B
Honest Trailer for The Legend of Link: Echoes of Wisdom next.
Beat this yesterday! I loved it! One of my favorite games.
Wow I think it's kinda funny when this trailer called the final boss of Astrobot "Scalpers" considering those people are a major issue during the launch day of the PS5.
Seeing the legend of dragoon cameo hits me way harder than the need for a bloodborn game
Where? Didi I miss that? I loved that game. Still have the discs but doubt my old PS1 could run them.
Say "We're sorry we haven't made an Honest Game Trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins yet” and then make an Honest Game Trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins.
Please say: "Zelda is the main protagonist from Fire Crossing, where he rescues Princess Kirby from Ridley, Ruler of the Rocket Kingdom."
It’s a great game but it’s kinda sad how Astro Bot replaced Sackboy as the cute and lovable PlayStation mascot.
Playstation has replaced a lot of mascots over the years.
Crash and Spyro were the first ones.
he got sacked
He had a PS5 game in 2020 plus Astro has been around since 2013.
Sackboy just had a new game a few years ago. Astro just finally got to have his (well deserved) day in the sun.
Sackboy is a bot you collect in the game.
Honest Trailer: "Over the top goonery"
Me: "Burnice 😍!!"
Goon detected!

3: PLEASE say, "Go Empire! CRUSH THOSE REBELS!!!"
You should've called it, Little Bot Planet!
That is if they actually remembered Little Big Planet.
Which they don't.
Imo PlayStation Galaxy fits way more lol
It is almost as good as Mario Galaxy (best 3D mario btw), and... well... it's in space :D
So you can reference Sly but not do an honest trailer for Sly Cooper?
You... HEATHENS!
Please do a Sly Cooper honest trailer!!
It has to be relevant to pop culture or they're not going to do it. I've asked foe them do 'The Mask' years ago and straight up got ignored for years so I don't ask for anything anymore I just watch
I actually want this game so badly. When we got a PS5 and I played the Astro-Bot game that game with it, I loved it
On a serious note, this game is phenomenal. Wife and I were sad when we beat it. Looking forward to the DLC and hopefully more to come.
Please make a trailer for The First Descendant! I saw you using clips for it in the last few trailers. Embrace the thirsttrap.
Give me the chills with the line "Welcome to PlayPaintChill. You just gained honor +2 for following us ! ".
I can’t wait for veilguard so much
"See, even Extraterrestrials thinks the price is crazy!" LMAO!!
Make an Honest Trailer for Super Mario Party Jamboree
I needed this SO badly. Something sweet and fun. No cynicism to be found here.
I’m a like the definition of a casual gamer and I HAD to platinum this game. It was so pleasant!!
Playing it for the 4th time with my nearly 3 year old boy. It's a blast
thank god you mentioned the 7 up SNES game thought I was insane since no one believes me when I say that game existed
maybe the real bloodborne 2 was the friends we made along the way...

This is interesting to come back to now that this is the Best Game of 2024.
Have you guys started on the Honest Trailers for Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom?
The same week the Honest Trailer for Transformers One is released, can you release an Honest Game Trailer for Transformers: War for Cybertron and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron? I loved those games.
Please do an Honest Game Trailer for Funko Fusion
In your most epic voice, please say: “In a world where vomit comes out of my mouth- bwaaaaahh!”
How much i'm glad to listen "In a wooooorld..." to begin with again!
00:33 no longer GOTY contender :D
what game is it at 0:16, asking for a friend of course
The First Descendant and either Honkai Star Rail or Zenless Zone Zero
ZZZ
We must not forget the VR Astro bot on ps4.
Nice shout out to Cool Spot.
I never played Bloodborne but that skin is objectively the best!
Please say, "I'm the scariest thing here, you can trust me."
-Grandpa Cooper ( BloomTown: A Different Story )
Please do an honest trailer for the Sly Cooper series.
It didn't come out of nowhere. Anyone that played Rescue Mission knows what Team Asobi is capable of.
This game is getting absurdly good reviees only through nostalgia 😂 unbelievable
The Cameo levels are some of the best stages ever. This game deserves GOTY.
I'm just gonna keep asking for a Honest Game Trailer for "Killer Frequency", please and thank you.
no honest game trailer for Space marine 2?
Im getting close to 30, and the "am i the dust that blows off the cartridge" line made my back hurt
This game deserves ALL the awards. But deep in the dark recesses of my heart and soul, I fear that we'll see a repeat of the 2021 Game Awards.
I love how the ads are honest trailer as well xD
the ad is wukong
Please please PLEASE I’d love to see an honest trailer about Spiritfarer. It’s a comfy game about death and I’d love to see what you make of it 😭❤️
Amazing game! Definitely game of the year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Since the skin redux is coming out in December... Do Soul Reaver (1&2).
Been playing this game, and it is so fun!!!
I like to think that the only reason this game did great was because all the higher-ups were busy messing up Concord. Now that they know that this glorified Tech demo has potential, they are definitely going to stick their greasy bony fingers in the sequel. Have fun with the new "pay to jump" feature.
Is this the end of Honest Game Trailers?
Now if only 90% of these would get remastered and/or a sequel
Say "You expected to fight Bowser during this party, but it was me, Imposter-Bowser"
Yall should do one for blitz the league 2!
anyone knows where to find the demo again ?? the one that was given with the ps5
i deleted and can’t find it
Just curious how they franchise it, can’t repeat the format, going to have to really stretch to keep it fresh.
Do Dustborn next!!
wow some love for Cool Spot! i loved that game 😂
Time for Sonic X Shadow Generations.
And Conker's Bad Fur Day while you're at it.
Sparking zero please!

Most of those titles where dropped because of poor sales.
You should do Concord
Working in the platinum for this game this week and its so fucking good. The levels are fun to jump through and explore and it respects the players time while challenging their intuition.
Anyone else surprised we haven’t gotten an elder scrolls oblivion trailer? I feel like that would be hilarious
A game you just could not hate on. Bravo!!!

I can't believe you never did Factorio. I know what you're thinking: But I don't speak Spanish. I thought the same thing.
Money well spent and you know it.
So it once per 3 week now?
Who would have thought, making a Nintendo game on non-Nintendo hardware would give you a free GotY ticket.
Please do Hunt: Showdown 1896.
anyone knows how to find the previous game that was given with the console
i deleted and can’t find it anywhere and hadn’t played it 😢

Bloodborne 2
A new Sly
and of course Jak 4
This game just makes me want these more.
I wonder if you can use the kain and raziel skin in astro bot?
No, sadly, only a small handful of the characters you save are featured in collectible costumes. Only 20 altogether.
I platinum Astro Bot with just a few weeks. Really a great fun entertaining game
Sony needs to hear the message of this game's success loud and clear. Mascot platformers made them, and those games can still keep them popular today :)
Mark this video. 20 years from now, that "crazy cost of a PS5" will be the cost of a value meal at Taco Bell.

I would love to see an honest trailer for Forza Motorsport (FM8).
Idk 99% of these games / characters but I love platformers and this looks fun!
I’d love this game…but when are we getting new games from some of those series? They know they exist and that people want them
This game was a blast, and I also spent most of my time in the Bloodborn outfit.
I was expecting a honest name for EVERY cameo, I'm a little sad now
@@giocanz5222
There's well over a hundred cameos so we'd have to make a separate video just for an honest names joke.
Most of them would just be Bot Jokes 😭
Have y'all done Godfather the game before???
Say “in the clurb, we all fam” lol
