10 Video Games That Instantly Pissed Fans Off

2. Astro Bot

PSVR owners will take every errant opportunity to breathlessly extoll the virtues of Astro Bot: Rescue Mission to anyone that will listen, that it was effectively PSVR's Super Mario 64 moment.

And to be fair to these evangelists, Rescue Mission was a bloody excellent PSVR game. It remains easily one of the most impressive, downright entertaining offerings on Sony's first attempt at bringing virtual reality tech to the console-owning masses.

And so, when rumblings recently emerged that Sony was cooking up a new Astro Bot game, many were hopeful that it would also be coming to PSVR 2 - Sony's brutally under-supported technical powerhouse of a VR headset that was released last year.

But when Sony formally unveiled Astro Bot for PS5 in a State of Play presentation in May 2024, not a peep was said about PSVR 2 support, making it crystal clear that the game can only be played "flat" on PS5.

Given that Astro Bot had his coming-out party on the first PSVR and started out as a mascot for the headset, PSVR 2 owners were understandably miffed at the new game having no PSVR 2 support whatsoever.

Couple this with Astro Bot: Rescue Mission still not getting a PSVR 2 port, and many saw this as the final indication that Sony is only going to minimally support the headset moving forward.

The news cast an unfortunate pall over what was otherwise a euphoric reveal for one of the most exciting-looking games still due for release this year.
