This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
Probably just ran out of time to include one back then. It happens.The fact vanilla Astro's Playroom barely referenced GT was so odd.There's even a Ridge Racer easter egg there but not the best selling PS1 game and biggest Sony franchise.Headscratcher.
Same feelings here! I listen the ost a lot of times in spotyfyCrossover between two things I adore. Astro is such a good time!
Did the riddle earlier today. Really can’t wait for the game.
@Famine the music in Astrobot is straight up 10/10
Flying cars reference? 😂
Gran Turismo is difficult to summarise in a reference/parody because, being tied to the use of licensed cars and circuits, it has not been able to develop a unique and recognisable personality.The fact vanilla Astro's Playroom barely referenced GT was so odd.There's even a Ridge Racer easter egg there but not the best selling PS1 game and biggest Sony franchise.Headscratcher.
First thought is perhaps the X2019 or the Formula GT.A Feisar ship with just 12 polygons and the classic blue and yellow livery is immediately recognisable and reminds one of WipeOut.
But GT does not have something as iconic, the "character" that many players associate with GT is perhaps the skyline..
Though most of the Astro game references are by character, some are just items that would be unique to the games lore or theme, or rely on the while picture of telling what it means.But GT does not have something as iconic
Or a game disc in one of the consoles in Labo. There's a "BOTCHARTED" disc, for example...Though most of the Astro game references are by character, some are just items that would be unique to the games lore or theme, or rely on the while picture of telling what it means.
A single "Gran Astrurismo" player sitting before a CRT could have done that if nothing more specific would have been available.
That picture is a litte too appropriate.
I did notice that! Kinda annoyed me cuz the chord progression doesn't quite resolve the same way and I keep expecting it to cuz it sounds so similar. 😂So anyone else realise the Follow me (into the Storm) - Astro's Playroom song... is basically just Starlight by Muse?
I love both songs but when I realised haha I was surprised it didn't hit me sooner.
