The PS5 console's built-in game "Astro Robot Wireless Controller User Guide" is loved by players for its unique gameplay creativity and comprehensive display of PS5 functions. The new "Astro Robot" was also unveiled at this year's "Playstation State of Play" conference.


Recently, the game's creative director Nicholas Doucet revealed in an interview that the production team "did initially consider: Should this be an open world game?", but ultimately adopted a "level-based approach" because this approach allows the production team to "maximize control over the diversity of the game."


According to Nicholas, the new game of "Astro Bot" looks more like "Super Mario: Odyssey". The Astro Bot controlled by the player suffered a serious crash and needed to travel between 80 different planets to repair his spaceship. In the process, the player will save about 150 "VIP Bots" with the character appearance of PlayStation games.


However, the structure of the galaxy in the game has not yet been determined. Nicholas said: "The way we work in Team ASOBI is that we do a lot of prototyping of game mechanics, but we don’t necessarily know what game we are making. So we made a lot of such demos, trying to come up with new and expressive ways to use DualSense, and then asked ourselves how to translate these into viable designs."
