#60 Crowd-funded video game documentary YouTube channel NoClip(opens in new tab) has released a video about the making of Astro’s Playroom, talking with the developers about how it evolved from a PS5(opens in new tab) tech demo into a monument to PlayStation’s history.
The documentary is called “Astro's Playroom: From PS5 Tech Demo to PlayStation Nostalgia Trip(opens in new tab)” and in it NoClip interviewed Nicolas Doucet, the Creative Director of Astro’s Playroom to talk to him about how the game came into being, and how it evolved from the original concept. Doucet talks about how Team Asobi, the developers of Astro’s Playroom, started out as a small research team that was playing around with concepts for the PS4 camera. The team was meant to act as a bridge between hardware and software development teams, but Doucet says that “it turns out every time you do this kind of research, you cannot resist the temptation to make your own game”.

Es vitro que dura poco y apenas son tres horas de juego. Pero no por ello deja de ser un juego por muy corto que sea.
