This is our first documentary since our call for more Patrons last month and the response has been incredible. Our increased funding allowed us to invest in a new 4k camera, 4k capture gear and new hardware for rendering. We've also been able to provide more work for the rest of the team which has meant more documentaries are in production. We have an hour long doc on Dishonored coming, along with a feature on the design of Loop Hero and plenty more. Exciting times ahead. Thank you all so much for believing in us. www.patreon.com/noclip

@@Allyouknow5820 I think that's why we do we the work we do. These broad narratives about companies are usually borne from a vacuum of knowledge. PlayStation doesn't have one decision maker - it's a large corporation with different needs and values in it's various departments. So to give voice to a lesser known voice in that conversation is satisfying. Truthfully though, we're also skeptical of assumptions when it comes to people at the top. It's quite easy (and often cathartic) to throw mud at named or nameless "executives" when things like this happen. We wish we could get access to more people in those situations to explain these complex decisions. Was Japan Studio closed, or is this more of a restructuring based on the success of Team Asobi and the more production-support focus of Japan Studios in the past? These are questions we don't have answers to. In the meantime I'd suggest people don't latch on to simple and popular narratives that attempt to explain these things. Quite often they bring us further from the truth. Thanks for watching! :)

Hey Noclip; Is there something like an e-mail where I/we can send suggestions for things to cover? - Or is that more reserved for Patreons and such? I'm sure you already have loads of plans and your work cut out for you, but I have a list with a bunch of very interesting and kind of unusual/overlooked games and projects to cover. Some of which might be challenging to pull off, but I think you would be the perfect channel to do it. Though, some might have to be done sooner than later. If you're open to receiving a message through Instagram or something, I'm up for that too, otherwise perhaps just down here. - It's just my (plausible) wishlist for your consideration.

My son and I were laughing out loud while playing Astros Playroom. Both at the charming character animations, me at the number of PlayStation nods. And then the moments when the controller showed us something new. Very memorable. Fantastic work! Watching him play was just a joy.

I really like listening to Nicolas Doucet, he has so much passion and is so humble. Astro's Playroom blew me away, such a heartwarming and magical experience!

I've been a diehard Playstation fan since the PS1 and Astro's Playroom is a truly beautiful celebration of 25 years of PS history. Every 30 seconds I was going "Oh look!" or "omg I remember that!". Just constant memories from years of gaming flooding back. The game itself is such a joy to play. They use every facet of the Dualsense to amazing effect that adds such a layer of depth to everything. It's so tactile. All the level and character designs are SO clever and adorable. Every ounce of this game just oozes pure joy. It's amazing.

I wish I could forget that I ever played this game. I would love to be able to experience what I felt while playing it for the first time on a regular basis. Playroom might be my favorite platformer of all time.

lads this is lovely, not just the game, which is adorable, but the editing is incredible, the way it's segmented is masterfully done and the nostalgia it invokes is lush, ye gouls done good

Well said. Technically the documentary itself is a perfect example of how to do a video game short docu, in much the same way as the game is the perfect tech demo/intro to the PS5.

So far this "tech demo" is my favorite PS5 game. It's the first game I ever 100%.

Wow, I have to say it would have been really easy in these COVID docs to just use the webcam footage as-is and leave it alone. But the amount of creativity on display with placing devs into the environments of their games really adds to the production value of the doc, great work as always!

The intro got me firmly stuck behind my desk

Playroom was without a doubt the best prepackaged piece of content on any console, ever in my opinion. I loved it and so did my son, it was such an awesome experience and nostalgia trip

Even though I didn't really play PS1 or PS2 (I was barely alive at that point) & don't have as much history with PlayStation or some games as other people, I still loved Astro's Playroom so much & actually spent tons of time playing it even though it's a free game. Love this game so much.

Good news: the devloper of this game has just become a member of the PlayStation Studios family.

Astro's Playroom is still today, in my opinion, the absolute best game in the PS5's library. It's a 10 out of 10. It controls like a dream, introduces interesting gameplay mechanics and explores them quite a bit, showcases the hardware, looks gorgeous and ditches any sort of tacked-on story for a pure and simple nostalgia trip. It's incredible.

Oh yeah, the music is also crazy good and it's available on things like KZread and Spotify!

That T-rex boss was exactly that. a love letter. I was lucky enough to get a PS5 at launch and play astro bot without any spoilers. I loved every minute of it, despite thinking I wouldnt care for it that much. The T-rex boss brought on a flood of childhood memories that were so wonderful to feel. I could still remember playing that demo in awe as I pressed buttons to open the jaw and 'mood walk' the t-rex across the screen. I want to thatnk the developer of astros playroom for making me feel that way, and many other ways. what you made was very special.

the whole time I was playing this game I had a smile on my face. this game me gave the same feelings I had when I played mario 64 for the first time. it's an amazing combination of technology ,fun gameplay and level design. the way the dual sense's features were used reminds a lot of when the analogs were introduced back on the N64 controller. the inclusion of all the PlayStation related hardware and many cameos of iconic characters throughout the PlayStation history was the cherry on top that made this game really special to me. team asobi's astro bot rescue mission on ps vr made me a fan and now asro's playroom made me a believer.

This was the first game I got the platinum trophy in on my PS5. It's a love letter to all things PlayStation and it's nostalgia done right. I nearly got emotional just seeing the tiny detail of a memory card saying "Ken's" on it during the final boss. I hope Sony give Asobi the chance to make something even bigger and better because they deserve it

To this day, the PS1 intro is the most sci-fi sound I've ever heard. And probably will still be forever.

I’m not ashamed to admit this is one of my favourite games of all time. It brought back so many memories 😭😭 That thing really hit my soul

This is one of the best looking youtube documentaries I've seen. Great use of the 4K tech. Thanks for all the hard work dudes!

very lovely insight from a very humble developer. as someone who doesnt own a ps5, but has access to every other playstation at some point in my life, i really valued this documentary. thanks danny.

For some reason, I feel like this documentary is my favorite from you guys so far.

I loved Astros Playroom. The childlike joy of starting up a new console and finding all these callbacks in this loveletter to the past felt incredible.

I'm so thankful I tried this game out. It had the perfect mix of nostalgia moments/discoveries and new tech awe. An enjoyable experience throughout. Thank you for the video it was a nice look behind the scenes!

1) This was an absolutely amazing documentary all around. Great "first doc back" to start off with! 2) That Playstation startup sound. I was not expecting that. I started tearing up because I associate that sound with my dad and all of the amazing memories I had with him as a kid playing games. Thank you Danny

Now... THIS is what I needed in my life.

The PlayStation boot sound is a classic. Bring back so many happy memories. When the time comes to get myself a PS5 can't wait to play to Astro's Playroom.

Great documentary! The passion of the devs really shines through. Astrobot Rescue Mission is what convinced me to get a psvr and it's so great to play Astro's Playroom and know that it doesn't need to be played in VR to be amazing because this way more people can experience it. I hope team Asobi knows how special they are and how much it matters to have the kind of values they have. Looking forward to whatever you guys are working on next because it's certain to be fun. Thank you for two great games and thank you noclip for this wonderful documentary. You rock!

Great doc! Having the video interviews appear on random screens from the game was a nice touch.

Really nice work with this doc, I'm glad to see the trick you used with Tim Schaffer, the Nicolas feed was integrated quite well.

The quality of the documentaries keeps increasing! Not only visual but in general, really looking forward to where you'll end up. Keep it up!

Thank you so much for the work you do, providing amazing content and great insights so many times.

The game director is spot on, Astro is what I showed my non gamer friends when they asked what's so special about the ps5. Personal favorite is the jetpack level, it really feels like you're controlling a floating thing

Wonderful documentary! Loved the game, and now loved learning about it too.

Another great documentary! Thanks for the content!

YES Originally I didn't give much attention to this demo, but after watching a few minutes of it I realized that its a love letter to growing up with Playstation disguised as a tech demo. Really nice.

This game was a pleasant surprise, it's brilliant and an excellent way to introduce you to the hardware. The DualSense, 3D audio and tight, satisfying gameplay is an absolute joy, and the nostalgia, too. Genius!

One of the best games I've ever played and can't wait for the sequel.

So awesome to hear someone who is obviously so passionate about their work.

i unfortunately still haven't gotten my hands on a PS5, but I'm eager to, if for no other reason than the fact that ASTROBOT: Rescue Mission VR was one of the single greatest, most joyful gaming experiences that i've ever had; and i've been gaming for over 40 years. Kudos to Team Asobi. re-spect.

Great documentary, very interesting ! Thank you

The aesthetic for this video was the best yet...you guys really knocked it out of the park! Also this video was 100% nostalgia...makes me wish I still had a PS1.

Loved Astros! If the team started as an R&D unit and transformed into a game developer by happenstance then we really are in a lucky timeline because this was one of the most responsive and satisfying platformers I've played in years.
