Astro Bot's Glaring Omissions of Legendary PlayStation Franchises

Astro Bot's omissions of some of PlayStation's most legendary franchises raises questions about its tribute to gaming history.

Missing Franchises in Astro Bot

Astro Bot is celebrated for its charm, yet it overlooks critical franchises. While it pays homage to numerous PlayStation titles, the glaring absence of iconic series makes fans wonder about the reasons behind these omissions.

Resistance: A Key Absence

Resistance, a major franchise during the PS3 era, is surprisingly absent from Astro Bot. Not only does it have a compelling storyline, but it also contributed significantly to PlayStation’s legacy.

Twisted Metal: A Missed Celebration

The absence of the Twisted Metal series in Astro Bot is puzzling, especially given its resurgence in pop culture. Given the recent live-action series and its enduring popularity, fans expected to see references in the game.

Syphon Filter's Neglect

Another noteworthy absence is Syphon Filter, a series integral to PlayStation's early history. Its lack of presence in Astro Bot raises questions regarding the game’s commitment to honoring its legacy.

Final Thoughts on Franchise Omissions

Many iconic franchises like SOCOM and The Getaway are missing from a game meant to celebrate PlayStation’s history. As Astro Bot prepares for future updates, it remains to be seen whether these overlooks will be addressed by the developers.
