So, it's been a while since we all loved Astro Bot and everything, but I think that there's still some stuff to be discussed, more particularly regarding projects from the development team itself.
Out of all five hero stages on Astro Bot, two of them in particular were a bit more interesting than the rest; Ape Escape representing PS1, and LocoRoco representing PSP. Ape Escape and LocoRoco aren't nearly as active as they used to be, and much like Astro Bot, they were platformers internally developed at SCEI as well.
If Team Asobi were to revive either of these series, which one would you rather get?

A nice reminder that the Astro Bot series itself was born due to fan demand for a full game out of the Robots Rescue minigame in The Playroom VR. So, Team Asobi applying all the ideas for these levels into full new games wouldn't be exactly anything unusual.

If I had to pick, I’d go Loco Roco.

But my ideal scenario is they just keep making Astro Bot games.

Sure! I'd also rather get more Astro Bot, but this is within the perspective of them doing a revival of these series largely based on the special hero stages. In my honest opinion, the LocoRoco level is just TOO damn good for a proof of concept, and a perfect way to introduce the series to modern audiences.

Gravity Rush 3

I mean, I would love more Gravity Rush all day, but we don't have much of a good revival proposal here as opposed to Ape Escape and LocoRoco. And if you do Gravity Rush, then that opens the floodgates for other series from Ico and The Last Guardian, to Flipnic: Ultimate Pinball out all things.
