As a hardcore gamer who’s spent countless hours battling demons with Dante, tearing through Greek mythology with Kratos, outsmarting Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid, and exploring the TV-filled world of Persona 4, I must say these bot recreations at the Crash Site are a delightful throwback to my gaming past.
Astro Bot isn’t just an outstanding 3D platformer; it’s predominantly a tribute to everything PlayStation.
In a colossal representation of a PS5, you soar through the skies, rescuing numerous charming robots who sport outfits inspired by iconic characters from old-school PlayStation games.
Upon arriving at your vessel’s wreckage site, each robot that’s been saved will be participating in playful antics akin to the game associated with their costume design. Essentially, they’re all unique surprises or “Easter eggs” in themselves.
Which of these you consider the best will largely depend on your nostalgia for certain games, but for us, these particular animations really put a smile on our faces.
10 The Prince Of All Cosmos
Oh Lonely Rolling Star
In the video game Katamari Damacy on the PlayStation 2, you play as a character who rolls a ball called a Katamari through various locations worldwide. Your objective is to gather an assortment of items large and small to create a star.
In this venture, your main character is none other than the Cosmic Prince, who can be encountered at the Wreckage Location, always accompanied by his faithful Katamari.
Gently prompt the prince to start moving, and watch as he careens about on his Katamari across the sandy terrain. If you position yourself in front of him, be prepared to be swept up along with countless other items such as pencils, traffic cones, and passersby.
9 Jill Valentine
What Part Of “Don’t Open That Door” Didn’t You Get?
At the start of Resident Evil, the STARS team secludes themselves within the Spencer Mansion as a means of escaping the throngs of the undead.
Jill wants to go outside to look for the missing Chris, but Wesker warns her not to open the door.
Jill should avoid opening the door since doing so would let in a pair of aggressive mutant dogs, which the Jill robot at the Crash Site alerts us about when touched.
It’s a fun reference to a classic bit of schmuck bait from the early days of 3D gaming.
8 Slayer Of Demons
Don’t Forget To Retrieve Your Souls
One notable aspect of the original Soulslike game Demon’s Souls lies in its challenging nature and a unique feature where if you perish in battle, you have to return to retrieve your lost souls.
Indeed, it’s fitting that the robot at the Wreckage, donning the armor of the Demon Slayer, possesses the resilience of damp paper towels. A mere touch, and he topples over, instantly inactive.
No sweat, mate! He’ll be back online in no time, and while he’s at it, he might as well gather up the stash of spirits he left behind.
7 Rez
Feel That Trance Vibrator
The PlayStation 2 game Rez offered an additional accessory called the Trance Vibrator, a compact device designed to produce vibrations. This gadget was intended to be positioned in a location where its vibrations could be felt.
While you were engrossed in the game, a rhythmic music would generate strong resonances for you to feel.
In the game Rez, the Trance Vibrator is a particularly memorable aspect. Consequently, the Rez robot at the Crash Site sports a dual controller setup that vigorously shakes in sync.)
Gently prompt the Rez bot, and it will take out multiple opponents, providing your teammates with an additional thrill.
6 Amaterasu
A Godly Shower Of Petals
In the beloved video game Okami set during ancient Japan, the main character is Amaterasu, the Shinto deity of sunlight and foliage. Throughout the game, wherever Amaterasu moves, she leaves behind a trail of enchanting flowers on the ground.
Gently prodding the Amaterasu robot at the Wreckage Site will prompt it to stand up on its legs and circle its small temple gate once, ending its journey with a victorious bark.
During its operation, Ammy’s interface occasionally features a miniature version of her artist friend Issun, who appears to be hopping around on Ammy’s nose.
5 Raziel
Welcome To The Spectral Realm
In the PlayStation 1 game Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, the recently transformed spectral vampire, Raziel, frequently travels between the realms of the living and the spirit world of the deceased.
In that game, every time Raziel moves between the physical world and the spirit world, or vice versa, he makes a peculiar small gesture, accompanied by a distortion effect on the screen.
At the crash site, the Raziel bot demonstrates these two characteristics: it transports us briefly into a blue-tinged spectral realm when we strike it.
4 Dante
Smokin’ Sexy Style!
From the very first game in the Devil May Cry series, a defining design philosophy has been crafting extensive, diverse combos involving both sword and firearm attacks.
It’s likely that the Dante robot at the crash site keeps tossing a marionette in the air using its pistols, because it might be doing so for some reason or another.
Pushing him causes him to break his series of actions, making the puppet tumble down. He’s quick to resume activity, however.
Dante pulls out his weapon called Rebellion, gives it an upward thrust, sending the puppet flying high with a powerful move known as High Time. Next, he slams the puppet back onto the ground with a fierce blow from Helm Splitter. After that, he continues firing a barrage of bullets.
3 Kratos
The God Of War Suffers No Shenanigans
In both his earlier, anger-driven versions on PlayStation 2 and his current form on PlayStation 5, the character Kratos from God of War consistently embodies a straightforward and business-like demeanor.
This is something you’ll learn first-hand if you attempt to smack the Kratos bot at the Crash Site.
Straight away, he’ll become enraged, grab the Leviathan Axe, and throw it towards you, turning you into an ice sculpture.
Even though Kratos seems more settled these days, he certainly won’t put up with foolishness, particularly when he’s spending time with his son.
2 Psycho Mantis
“I Will Show You My Psychokinetic Power!”
In your initial meeting with the psychic soldier Psycho Mantis from FOXHOUND in the original PlayStation version of Metal Gear Solid, he chooses to exhibit some of his psychic powers for both Snake and you, the game’s controller.
One technique he uses involves asking you to set aside your controller, followed by a sudden surge of psychic energy that causes the device to shake or vibrate.
At the Crash Site, it appears that the Psycho Mantis bot is particularly fond of this specific part. This is likely why it’s seen floating above a television and PlayStation, engrossed in playing Metal Gear Solid.
He regularly makes the attached controller vibrate, cackling wildly every time he does.
1 Teddie
“It Seems Very Spacious In Here…”
In the game Persona 4, initially launched on the PS2 console, upon discovering his capacity to venture into televisions, the main character decides to insert his head into one for a closer inspection.
This is likely what’s being referenced when you poke the Teddie bot at the Crash Site.
Surprised, Teddie tumbles nose-first into the aged television he was messing around with, temporarily getting trapped until he managed to free himself.
It makes you wonder how Teddie was able to fit through the TV the first time he came to our world.
