Am I the only one who is more hyped for Lego Horizon than Astro Bot lol? I'm glad Guerrilla Games is pushing new genres with this upcoming Lego collaboration.

Outside of Astro Bot, Horizon is an IP that can be expanded into different games, such as the rumored MMO from NCSoft, or the upcoming multiplayer project, that has potential to actually sell well, on top of having lots of potential as a multimedia project.

I think AstroBot has the potential to expand into other genres as well - moreso easier than Horizon.

For an example, I can see a turn based or action RPG from Astro Bot moreso than Horizon or even a racing game.

Speaking of which, they could easily do a Mario Kart like clone (that is proper than LBP Karting) especially since Astro Bot is more of a fanservice IP that celebrates Playstation, it'll make sense to expand Astro Bot into a Mario Kart clone (with their own features).

Astro makes a lot of sense to branch out. Quality would be important though and Sumo Digital are the only I see being viable enough for a kart racer. 

That said, I actually hope that Team Asobi is working on a brand new Ape Escape (which itself could include references to other Sony IP). I think it would offer them a nice alternative (IP, theme, gameplay) from Astro while they do pre-production on a new one.
