There are some impressive launch titles for Sony\u2019s PlayStation 5, but one of the console\u2019s biggest surprises is actually a game that comes preloaded onto the PS5, Astro\u2019s Playroom<\/a>. Astro\u2019s Playroom <\/em>is a delightful platformer that impressively highlights the new features of the PS5 and its DualSense controller. Astro\u2019s Playroom <\/em>is satisfying on a gameplay level, but it\u2019s also full of fun tributes to Sony\u2019s history and some of the biggest games to come out on PlayStation consoles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Various Astro Bots that are dispersed through levels wear costumes or perform actions that are nods to past games. It\u2019s easy to notice the references to Crash Bandicoot, Devil May Cry<\/a>, <\/em>or Castlevania, <\/em>but some Astro Bots get more intricate or subtle with their designs.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Death Stranding<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hideo Kojima is one of the most influential and ambitious video game developers of all time and his works have been signature pieces of the PlayStation. The Astro Bots reference his Metal Gear Solid <\/em>games in a way that\u2019s hard to miss, but the nod to Death Stranding <\/em>comes as much more of a surprise. Death Stranding <\/em>is a recent game, yet it feels like the definitive Kojima experience<\/a> in many regards. The Astro Bots depict the strange events of the series with a character that has about five times his weight strapped to his back as he trudges forward.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Ape Escape<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Astro Bots that reference the Ape Escape <\/em>franchise aren\u2019t exactly doing anything out of their box for their depiction of the games, but it\u2019s an especially strange image for those that aren\u2019t familiar with the games. One Astro Bot wields a net and chases another, who has a siren on their head. Ape Escape <\/em>represents an important part of the PlayStation\u2019s history and the game\u2019s innovative control scheme helped the console\u2019s DualShock controller<\/a> become the norm. The series has been dormant for many years, so it\u2019s nice to see it get a shout out in Astro\u2019s Playroom.<\/em><\/p>\n

8 <\/span>PaRappa The Rapper<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The rhythm genre has grown substantially over the past few generations of gaming, but it was much less established during the days of the original PlayStation. PaRappa the Rapper<\/a> <\/em>is a title that didn\u2019t just help educate audiences on what a rhythm game could be, but it turned into one of the more iconic exclusives for the PlayStation during its earlier days.<\/p>\n

Astro\u2019s Playroom <\/em>tries to do something more creative for its representation of PaRappa <\/em>and so it comes up with some paper cutout versions of Astro Bots who are rocking out, which alludes to PaRappa\u2019s <\/em>distinct art design.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Jumping Flash!<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Jumping Flash! <\/em>is very much a product of its time, but it\u2019s a major piece of gaming history and it has the honor of being classified as the first platform video game in a truly 3D world. Jumping Flash! <\/em>feels more like a tech demo for the original PlayStation, but its dated look<\/a> is now also part of its charm. A gigantic rabbit Astro Bot will jump over the player\u2019s head in the game\u2019s throwback to the PS1. This quick anomaly may just confuse most gamers, but it\u2019s actually a reference to one of the PlayStation\u2019s most important early titles.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Resident Evil<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Resident Evil <\/em>has never been a series that\u2019s been exclusive to the PlayStation, but in many ways the series has helped the different Sony consoles find a much larger audience and they\u2019ve taken real ownership of the Resident Evil <\/em>series. Astro\u2019s Playroom <\/em>puts together a rather large diorama together to honor the original Resident Evil<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>There are Astro Bot STARS members who stand near an isolated doorframe, which is in reference to the game\u2019s loading screens. A rabid Astro Bot stands behind the doorframe while another scientist creates a virus in the background. A full story is told here.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Dreams<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Many of the games that the Astro Bots single out are long-running franchises. Surprisingly, Dreams <\/em>is a game that\u2019s under a year old, but Astro\u2019s Playroom <\/em>proves that it knows the lasting power of this title with how it singles it out. Dreams <\/em>is more of a creation tool<\/a> than a conventional game, but it\u2019s led to some remarkable creations from its community.<\/p>\n

The nod to Dreams <\/em>is easy to miss. It involves a blocky dinosaur that would be easy to confuse with other series, but it\u2019s the presence of the \u201cAstro-Imp\u201d over the dinosaur that confirms the Dreams <\/em>connection.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>God Of War<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The God of War <\/em>series has become a lynchpin for PlayStation consoles and it makes sense to see the Astro Bots pay it some service. However, Astro\u2019s Playroom <\/em>actually finds a way to reference the original God of War <\/em>games in a rather obvious way, but also 2018\u2019s God of War <\/a><\/em>reboot<\/a> in a way that\u2019s less obvious. A number of Astro Bots can be found playing a copy of \u201cBot of War,\u201d but there is also a father and son Astro Bot duo that are on a boat in the water who are supposed to represent Kratos and Atreus.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Detroit: Become Human<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Detroit: Become Human<\/a> <\/em>is a gripping vision of a future dystopia where machines are quickly making man obsolete. The title centers around the level of freedom that it gives the player and the consequences that stem from the player\u2019s actions. It\u2019s easy to miss the reference to the series in Astro\u2019s Playroom, <\/em>but it\u2019s a rather clever distillation of the game. There are a number of even more robotic than usual Astro Bots that are on display, while one in the corner twitches and malfunctions as a chilling hint towards what\u2019s to come in the game.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Patapon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Astro\u2019s Playroom <\/em>focuses more on Sony\u2019s home console efforts, but they don\u2019t try to erase the company\u2019s contributions to the handheld market. Patapon <\/em>is a series that\u2019s later been remastered and ported over to the PlayStation 4, but for a while it was a creative spin on the rhythm genre that helped define Sony\u2019s PlayStation Portable handheld<\/a>. Astro\u2019s Playroom <\/em>references Patapon <\/em>with a cave painting that depicts an action-filled scene from the series. It\u2019s a smart Easter egg that finds a way to reference the games\u2019 style and aesthetic rather than just put some Astro Bots in a costume.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Doko Demo Issyo<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sony\u2019s PlayStation has had some interesting characters that have functioned as unofficial mascots for the consoles over the years, but the Sony Cats, Toro Inoue and Kuro, were specifically designed to be the mascot back during the days of the original PlayStation. Toro Inoue\u2019s presence is larger in Japan and the character\u2019s signature title, Doko Demo Issyo, <\/em>never came out in America. The shout out to this game with not just Astro Bot cats, but also a large PocketStation, is the perfect way to honor a game and characters who haven\u2019t been given as big a chance overseas.<\/p>\n
