I just don't know who the audience is for this movie. At least Sly Cooper has an active fanbase. Has a R&C game even done well since the PS2?
I completely forgot this was coming out, I haven't seen much advertising for it.
>He doesn't know about the Future series
>>82047055
I've been seeing more commercials recently, but they seem to focus more on Captain Quark than anything else.
But you guys do know one thing, right? If this movie fails, Hollywood will blame the voice actors. They'll say they should have gotten big names to be the leads instead of keeping the ones from the games. Future movies based on video games will replace the voice actors as a result.
>>82047022
You're joking, right? Ratchet and Clank is Sony's 4th best selling franchise that they have exclusive ownership to. They have new games that sell a solid number of copies almost every year. Meanwhile, Sly Cooper is a dead furry franchise. And even at it's zenith it was well below Ratchet and Clank and the Jak games in popularity.
>>82047022
The first couple PS3 games were very well received, and even the later ones only really flopped because they weren't treated like big releases. The new game has been doing great and people love it, and that game is based on the movie which normies are hype as fuck for. I work at Gamestop and there's a lot of buzz among customers about how excited they are for the movie.
>>82047202
That's because he's a fan favorite.
The movie game did pretty well if I recall. And initial reviews are pretty positive.
>tfw a good video game film based on one property
>>82047413
It's sold out all over the place right now, people are eating that shit up.
Let's get down to brass tax.
Does the movie have any waifus?
I love the games framing device to explain it's connection to the movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXNF5_AWOec
>>82047413
The only negative stuff I have heard is from french reviews (the movie is out there)
But it's less about the movie's overall quality but rather than french dub apparently being beyond awful.
I don't plan on seeing it, but I really hope it does well. Hopefully, if it does well, we'll get more video game movies in the future.
>>82047491
There's Elaris, Quark's tactical support and maintenace girl. She's played by Rosario Dawson.
>>82047491

You bet it does.
>>82047022
>At least Sly Cooper has an active fanbase.
What planet do you live on? Sly's last game went under the radar for a lot of people. Meanwhile, Ratchet had a whole goddamn trilogy last console generation, plus one downloadable game. Almost all of which met with critical praise and respectable sales.
Now don't get me wrong, I love me some Sly, but Ratchet has clearly proven to have more staying power.
>be huge Ratchet-and-Clank-fag

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVEI might be able to forgive them for cutting Gemlik Moonbase
>>82047626
That scene in the game had me dying.
>Everybody who's cool with nerding it up here with some pie charts say "nay".
>>82047740
They had to cut some of the filler. In fact, if they remake Going Commando, that could use a trim in a few places. As long as they leave Up Your Arsenal alone. That's platforming perfection.
>>82047740
>game is a huge success
according to what? metacritic? how much is this in monies?
>>82047782
See >>82047481
It's selling like crazy
>>82047782
Every review I've read and people I've talked to have nothing but praise for it apart from some shill on Facebook.
I mean I don't get what you want from me are you just being pedantic or like, did you not like it?
>>82047779
>Gemlik Moonbase
>filler
B O I
But I kind of follow. I'm supposing they dropped bad guy Qwark which is why no Umbris or Oltanis. My only question is.. how is Batalia NOT filler?
And I fully agree about noth your other points. Cut Commando but leave UYA. I don't know why I see so many people praising Commando so much, UYA is my favourite in the whole series.
It'll either succeed or fail miserably.
If it succeeds than we'll most likely get a solid number of sequels and we'll actually have a good video game based movie.
If it fails than it could possibly kill of the Rachet series.
Friendly reminder that the animation studio that made this also made Tony Hawk's Boom Boom Sabotage.
>>82047744
Quark has always been great.
>>82047905
>I don't know why I see so many people praising Commando so much
It's just fun. Might not be the best in the series, but it added a fuck ton of good stuff to improve the series after the first game. And the arena challenges were great.
>SONY wants to turn a SONY video game into a SONY distributed film
>SONY doesn't use their own animation studio
>Instead they use the guys who made Escape from Earth
What. The. Fuck?
>>82047911
>Insomniac confirmed that they have to see if the movie does well to consider more games
>Game is already doing well
Could it happen? Could we see a robot uprising in ablistering60 frames per second?
Also I doubt it could kill Ratchet. Even Ratchet worst and most obscure games are enjoyed by a good many people. And with muh aesthetics and a successful story (if the game's anything to go off of) this movie at least looks like a low level pass.
>>82048004
I'll give Going Commando this, the Megacorp ads and training videos are some of the funniest shit in the whole series.
>>82047911
Friendly reminder that the movie and game were developed so closely that the movie being worse than the game is close to impossible.
>>82047566
Aren't we already? Warcraft, angry birds, ratchet and clank all coming it this year and only a few months apart
>>82048097
Yeah, but at least one of those is going to be shit.
>>82048009
Sony doesn't even know if the movie will succeed. If it does than without a doubt they'll get their animation studio to work on something.
>>82048004
That's actually sensible. I will never fault the sheer level of improvement that Commando had over the first.
>>82048043
>If you're watching zis, you're fired
But here's the question boys - how do we do Ratchet 2 if Qwark's not evil anymore? And who voices Fizzwidget?
>>82048129
I have absolutely no doubt that Angry Birds will be terrible and make a lot of money.
>>82048129
Honestly? Angry Birds doesn't look too bad
They even have a tie in song! Granted it's not like Despicable Me 2 having a superstar like Pharell do their score and soundtrack, but hey, gotta start somewhere.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiDO_sP00uk
>>82048185
>But here's the question boys - how do we do Ratchet 2 if Qwark's not evil anymore? And who voices Fizzwidget?
Honestly as much as I love Going Commando, you could easily skip it or roll the important bits into another story. From a narrative standpoint, it's not really essential.
>>82048193
That's not the one I'm talking about.
>>82048193
I know I just said I think it will be shit and that's because I'm trying not to have hope. It just feels like such a perfect set-up for a shlock tie-in.
Plus if Ratchet's not shit, and Angry Bird's isn't shit, then the one on the list that has to be shit will be Warcraft, which I don't want. I genuinely have hope for that movie. Jones clearly has put effort and a bit of heart into it.Plus if it succeeds we might eventually get Warcraft 3
>>82048258
Haven't seen anything from Warcraft but I'll agree
>>82048239
>Commando has absolutely no effect on anything
>Only necessary to get more weapons in 3 and Thugs-4-Less come back in Nexus but even then they look and sound nothing like the original
fuck, that hits hard
You know they're keeping it open though, I heard there's a reference to Megacorp and the Protopet in either the game or the movie, or both.
>>82048185
Upon reflection, Megacorp seemed pretty evil before the Protopet thing. It seems like every planet you visit is either a wasteland destroyed by their industrialization or some corrupt casino or something. Not to mention, there seems to be no police force int heir galaxy. Megacorp runs everything.
>>82048349
I mean yeah. They literally started a war with Gadgetron because they wanted no rivals. The capital of Bogon is a corporate shillville and Megacorp make everything.
Fizzwidget makes Vox look like a legitimate buisnessman.
>>82048097
And don't forget Assassin's Creed the movie from Ubisoft. pre -order your movie tickets now to get pre order bonuses!
I'm not kidding.
They're doing that.
For a movie.
I can't wait for the movie. I'm waiting until I see it to play the game, but it's really hard.
REALLY hope it's good. The clips I saw looked pretty good and the game is gorgeous.

I actually kind of had hope for it, it has Young Magneto in it
why do Ubisoft have to suck so much monkey dick
>>82048239
I agree. Honestly, Going Commando's probably my least favorite Ratchet game (though I still really like it), the story didn't really do it for me and I wasn't a fan of a lot of the levels. I wouldn't mind if they skipped right to Up Your Arsenal if they were gonna do a sequel.
My one hope
My one hope if this does well
Is we get to see mai waifu on the big screen.

>different background than all the other cards

Considering Dallas is literally right there in the same scene kind of proves it too

I was kind of hoping we'd see a remodeled Angela Cross, too.
>>82048663
>I wasn't a fan of a lot of the levels
FUCKING THIS
The theme for that game was just "darker and grittier" either literally or figuratively
Even the bright planet has fucking death arenas or biker gangs.
Todano was like the one exception. That might be one of my favourite planets point blank.

Don't @ me.
>>82048765
Yeah, that might be it. I mean I didn't HATE the levels, I just wasn't wowed with them like the first game and UYA.
Crack in Time is definitely my favorite Ratchet game, though.

LOVE Into the Nexus. It's been awhile since I've played it, definitely wanna play it again. I liked the tone they were going for with it.
>>82048845
TOD is great too, but I wish the cutscenes weren't fucked up. I'd be more willing to replay it again. Captain Slag and Rusty Pete are probably my favorite villains.
HUGE fan of Creaturebox, who does concept art for the Ratchet games, their designs are awesome. I'd kill to do art like this.
You fuckers are making me want to go replay the series and play the ones I missed. God damn it, I don't have that kind of time.

I was fucking doing this. I bought the shitty, shitty port of Deadlocked on PS3 and picked up Nexus. Need to play the spin-offs now (Secret agent, Size Matters, All 4 One, Full Frontal). Seriously mate I recommend just doing it, the games hold up really well.
>>82049140
Eh, you can drop most of the spinoffs. Secret Clank, while funny, is shit. Size Matters is like a shorter version of the ps2 games but with less gameplay elements. All 4 One is only fun with a group and the less said about Full frontal the better.
>>82049140
I still need to play Size Matters, I've had it on my Vita for awhile but never played more than a few levels.
The Progs have awesome designs,I like the reference to them in the movie.
>>82049138
I'm going to, but I've got the urge to play them all now.
>>82049205
Size matters is worth playing for Qwark alone, he's great in that one. Gameplay's decently fun too.
>>82049244
I started dissecting the movie and game stuff immediately
>Qwark has beaten Nefarious already
>Neftin tried to blind Aridia. TWICE.
>Dallas and Juanita are real reporters now
>Megacorp is introducing its new furry friend the Protopet soon
It is kind of obvious but I can't get over how Juanita And Vendra share the same voice actress.
Also Night on Bald Mountain for the Ryno VII was a great touch, I loved how it synced to the 1812 Overture in Crack.
>>82049205
I actually heard they weren't the best but I feel obligated to play them due to brand loyalty and all that stupid shit.
>>82048980
I was pretty unhappy with how short and rushed feeling Nexus was. It was still fun, but like, so much felt missing.
>>82049433
I dunno, they flat out said it wasn't as long as the other Ratchet games, so I knew what I was getting into when I played it.
The jetpack is fucking awesome, really glad they brought it back in the remake.
>>82049433
I keep feeling like they intended it to be like an epilogue. They made us aware from the start that it would be shorter than Crack but longer than Booty. Then you have the fact thatCronk and Zephyrdie and we have the memory lane on Igliak and the weird review of the Future events in the credits.
>>82047022
Ratchet & Clank fans outnumber Sly Cooper fans by a very large number.
I hope this is a Star Trek 2009 type reboot. Clean the slate. Don't remake Going Commando, just make a new story set in this new universe.
>>82048663
For me, it's on par with UYA, but I like GC just a TINY bit better for all the side stuff like hoverbike races and space missions.
Fuck the Meteor Gun though.
>>82049538
It's a loose aaptation of... the first two games? I forget.
>>82049538
I don't think it's a FULL reboot, just reimagining the first game to make it more in line with the newer games.
>>82049713
But things are so different by the end of those two games. In the new one, Ratchet is clearly the leader of the galactic ranger sand he and Qwark are on far better terms then they ever were in the PS2 or Future games. Not to mention, Nefarious' whole backstory is different now.
>>82047511
Clever.
It's a soft reboot. They've changed enough that the new series can be considered an entirely new timeline, but they'll likely be adapting a lot of the previous plot.
>>82049771
Hoo watch the spoilers some of us live in UKistan and have to wait till Friday for some reason
>>82049713
But yeah what he said. They could reboot a lot, up until Future probably because Polaris ignores everything and by that point everyone's conveniently forgotten that Qwark was kind of a badly guy. Also in the new game they mention Megcorp is releasing the Protopet soon so the door is open.
>>82049908
Whoops, I'm so sorry, I forgot it's not out everywhere. Seriously, sorry, anon. If it makes you feel better, I didn't mention the biggest changes or the big twist.
>>82049959
Nah it's cool. In fact some knob on Facebook spoiled a villain twist for me so now I'm just twitchy. I'm trying to preserve the experience you know, I haven't listened to like more than five seconds of music and I haven't even seen what the Deplanetiser level looks like.
Spoil me one thing though - does Dr Nefarious say squishy at all?
>>82048009
Using their big animation studio means a big loss for them if the movie bombs. Here it's a really small company and a very small budget, so they can easily come in if it's successful but also wash their hands easy if it fails.
>>82047022
>At least Sly Cooper has an active fanbase.
Which Parallel Earth do you come from where Sly Cooper is more popular and relevant than Ratchet and Clank?
So did they scrap the old love interests to insert Not!Talwyn as his new one?
>>82048507
Shit completely forgot about that since they dropped the fucking director and Fox News bitching about Popeye not smoking
>movie has Ratchet wanting to be a Galactic Ranger
I swear, they better bring back these guys. And Ratchet better be their Sarge again.
>>82049825
This. Old stuff in a new coating.
Hell, they might actually make it a real alternate timeline considering how the Future series turned out!

I'm wondering how the sequel remake is going end up like. They going to have to fit in the Bogon Galaxy, especially considering Qwark.
>>82050245
I was talking about this earlier in the thread, one of the replies was that they should just skip Commando because it has literally no impact on the overall story.
>>82050245
Or they could just say fuck it and do something new.
>>82050017
You know, I genuinely can't remember.
>>82050343
Well I got a idea. Combine the second and third game together so that Doctor Nefarious will be the main villain.
>>82050392
>second game villain is literally an over-populating squishy
Please walk me through this idea of yours and how it would work
>>82050383
Anon come on I was counting on you
>>82050171
Nice. Guess someone did remember that he's supossed to get a girlfriend in the future. Though it would have been hilarious if he got together with Cora, just so we can joke that Markazians are his type.
Which is the best company, Gadgetron, Megacorp or GrummelNet?

Anybody watch the developer commentary for the ps2 games?
Which Galaxy would you rather live in.
Solana, with it's stable government but constant galactic threats and invasions.
Bogon, with it's wild west feel, lack of central government and total corporate control.
Or Polaris, with it's newly established but unstable defense force and it's many mercenaries and pirates?
>>82050789
No, but I got into the Insomniac Museum.
>>82050768
>>82050789
You have the links to those?
>>82050804
>Polaris has literally been invaded by ghost demons
The Solona invasions weren't that bad. If you could get off planet Drek wasn't exactly going to execute you. And Nefarious just wanted to turn you into a robot - as we saw with Skidd it's not like you'd lose yourself completely in that case. Bogon is just out the window entirely because corporate control.
Would you?

>Megacorp is now Gadgetron Corporation main rival company in the same Galaxy. There company's biggest sponsor is Courtney Gears.

Relax, he probably gets Lawrence further down. this is literally the beginning of the series re-imagined.
>>82051074
The issue is though that the Protopet and the Biobliterator are two fleshed out weapons so you'd need to seriously trim drown the game to fit both of them in. And UYA is too perfect to trim.
>>82050573
They were all SLUTS. Ratchet girls are pure.
You're right though.

Well Qwark is promoting it on a billboard in the movie, so it does exist at least.
So Rangers, you're tasked with make the Up Your Arsenal movie.
What do you cut to keep it in two hours? How do you warp the plot?
>>82051086
Raziel.
>>82051356
Here my idea.
>Nefarious uses the Biobliterator to upgrade the proto-pets into mechanized unstoppable mini-war machines.
>Qwark tires to help Ratchet out by using a virus to corrupt the Biobliterator and reverse the robotization of everything, but instead it grows one of them into some sort of super planet-sized mecha cyborg hybrid. Which eats and spits out Nefarious and Lawrence into deep space. Acting as the final boss
>Turns out Qwark accidentally put a CD filled with embrassing baby photos instead, why would he carrying that around was anyone guess. But after the Super-Cyborg is defeated. Qwark puts in the real virus CD and saves the galaxy.
>>82051550
>spits Nefarious and Lawrence into deep space
what the fuck
>also removing the teleported joke, one of the classic jokes and imo one of the best in the serious
>>82050993
It's depressing how casual they've gotten at some parts. Anywhere that presents even the slightest hint of a remote challenge has them talking about how they wish they'd toned it down and made it easier. As a kid playing these games the only part I had any sort of serious trouble with was the ice wasteland, and even then I wouldn't want those out- the sheer terror these guys have engraved in my mind is just part of the experience.
>>82051529
Cut Tyrranoid Queen and the Clunk subplot.
>>82051712
Grelbin was just plain annoying, not challenging just bullshit. I enjoyed every other part of the game except that level, it was tedious and annoying.
>>82051667
Well maybe Nefarious and Lawrence can teleport away before they both get eaten. But something goes wrong with the teleporter and they end up stranded in space like in the ending of the third game.
>>82051712
Well, the thing is, really small children and people with weak will won't be able to handle hard levels.
That is why, to widen the appeal, videogames cannot be hard anymore. Because when people die more than 3 times, they quit and demand a refund!
>none of the music is the same
Please tell me Dr. Nefarious still has the B-Movie theremin thing going on though
>>82052027
My nigga. The best thing Crack in Time gave to him musically speaking. Fit so well.
>>82051726
Also cut the Holostar Studios and Ranger-only mission planets. Secret Agent Clank can still be a thing (especially since Nefarious was such a fan).
>>82051295
Being great once doesn't guarantee a strong fanbase. See Spyro. Or, shit, see Crash. I feel like someone should have been prosecuted for what happened there.

All the ones we have so far are from France, and the most we can tell from those is that the french dub is apparently really bad.
We'll probably have to wait until it's released over here before we can see some reviews.
>Cora's voice actress in the game
Please tell me they hired someone else for the movie. Her in-game voice is beyond low quality.
any idea how I can play the original games without getting ahold of a ps2? are they on GoG or steam or something?
>>82051295
Being an awesome product doesn't mean it was popular. Sly might as well be a cult classic at this point.
>>82050245
They can probably just put everything from the Bogon galaxy into the Polaris from Future. Considering the Thugs are in Polaris by the time of Into the Nexus, it's not much of a stretch. All you'd have to do is replace the local politics with Tachyon's Empire, and that might help a remake of Tools of Destruction along since Ratchet visiting Polaris at the time of Going Commando before meeting Tachyon later would clue Tachyon in that there's definitely at least one Lombax running around.

There's the Ratchet and Clank Collection on the PS3. Aside from that your outta luck.

>>82048345
yeah, the new game has a throwaway reference to a pre order for Protopets during the Hoverboard race. pretty awesome.

Give me sales figures, guys. Hearsay does jack shit for me.
>>82048663
going commando is so much better than the first game, though. like, by a lot.
I get that R&C 2 kinda meanders in the middle, but the guns are cooler, the music is better, you have so much to do, its hard to really hate it. it was such a big improvement over the first one.
>>82047022
The "reboot/reimagining" was fantastic. i wish they'd scrap the movie and focus on games though.
People actually think the new game is good?
Even with all the cut content?
Even with the dumb retcons?
Even with THIS shit?

>>82049244
size matters has like one good idea, the armor swapping, but they dont do too much with it other than making your wrench on fire or have acid on it or whatever.
Its mostly a predictable story with little replay value. it really sucks, honestly. its not unplayable, but compared to the other games, its definitely lacking, basically since its on the psp
>>82056257
Getting some Sonic Heroes vibes from that video but at least the voice acting is nowhere near as bad.
>Even with all the cut content?
But it's not a remake.
>>82057428
Whatever you want to call it, it was "reimagined" 8 planets, several weapons and 30 frames per second short of its PS2 progenitor, with even better games having come out in the intervening period. Do you know giant Clank fight is completely removed? They just stripped out the most iconic fight in the series to make way for more Nefarious shilling.
I dunno, man. Even if you say it's not a remake, what does it offer that makes it worth playing over Ratchet 1? Shinier graphics?
>>82047022
>Has a R&C game even done well since the PS2
The PS4 one.
>>82056163
It's definitely an improvement, but I think the first game is more interesting. I like seeing the rough first game feeling of the first game.
>>82047022
>At least Sly Cooper has an active fanbase
hahahahahah
>>82050160
God tier taste, Sly 2 is definitely in the top 5 PS2 games.
But no, R&C has always been more popular.
>>82047874
Wow, the /co/ breed is very trustworthy.
>>82060495
We actually like video games. We tend to like movies too.
>>82056257
please, they don't talk that much. that video is making it look worse than it is. It ain't no different than previous R&C games.
>>82062845
Nobody ever talked in previous R&C games outside of cutscenes, arenas and the occasional helpdesk message.
>>82062981
Or at least in the original trilogy, I haven't played the future games.
>>82062981
Bullshit. The fucking galactic rangers in Up Your Arsenal were jibber jabbering all the time.
>>82062845
Except for, you know, all the good ones.
>tfw Qwark steals the show again
He's like Zap Brannigan with a heart. It's great.
>>82053393
Nope, it's still Bella Throne.
>>82063621
Almost all the "stars" were phoning it in. The only new cast members that seemed to take their job seriously were Rosario Dawson and Vincent Tong.
>>82056257
>They actually referenced Spyro
The absolute madmen!
>They played the trailer for this before BvS
I couldn't help laughing at the fact that a bright kiddy cartoon trailer played 30 seconds before watching a woman getting shot in the fucking face.
>>82063777
It's counter promotion. To remind you that you could be watching something that makes you happy instead of something that makes your stomach crawl.
>>82063750
Makes me want to wish that Spyro would get a 1:1 Ratchet and Clank style remake made by Insomniac. But alas that is just a fantasy.
I wonder if the game will be a solid ad for the movie and not a potential detriment since the story is told in the game.
>>82063632
Proving once and for all that Rosario Dawson is god-tier.
But I knew this ever since I saw Kids when I was ten.
>tfw initially excited for this and Starfox because Up your Arsenal and Star Fox 64 were my favorite games of yesteryear
>Zero is okay, but nothing special
>Ratchet and Clank is pretty good
>mfw
I'm happy that I came out of it with a decent movie and game, but still it wasnt quite as good as I had hoped.
>>82064977
Star Fox Zero has no excuse but the new Ratchet and Clank was never going to beat Up Your Arsenal given that it's an extremely well done but still a budget title reboot. The next game they make for PS4 however has no excuse. It should be glorious with a full budget and a new universe to explore.
>>82065118
I'd like them to address some of the issues I found in the game, like maybe a higher framerate (don't want to be a nazi about it, just want to make sure it's at least stable). Also, if they could make it more replayable and give the new game + some umph, it would be very much appreciated.
>>82065172
That sounds cool. I just hope the next one is an all new story. Fuck remaking Going Commando.
>>82050684
tall girl is best girl
>>82047022
Past games are still there, people still play those
reminder that R&C is plagiarism
Also, I should get around to translate this some day
>>82065595
looks cute
>>82065595
That robot looks nothing like Clank and there's no Qwark.
>>82051712
The Yetis werent even supposed to be that bad enemy. If I remember correctly, they got an order to do another mineral collection map and had like a week to finish it. And the yetis are missing the windup animation for their attack so they are much faster attackers than anything else in the game.

>no best girl in sight
Shame on you meatbags
>>82065966
She's far too sexy for a kids game.
I'm surprised no one fussed about Slim Cognito actually being visible.
>>82066420
A lot of people don't even know its him because it's in just text. They just assumed it was the shady dealer from the original
>>82066420
He is? Where?
>>82064977
The game was pretty good considering it was made more for movie tie-in purposes than anything else. It's short but holy shit is it polished.
>>82066141
Kids games used to be able to get away with anything. Now not even games for adults could get away with it.
>>82063119
Quark is like one tenth of a Zap, I was re-watching some old seasons of Futurama, I couldn't believe how well he holds up over the years.
>>82068800
The problem is I heard it rumored that Qwark isn't going to be a villain, not even one with a face turn.
And that's the dynamic that Qwark works best in.
>>82068785
Ah, my first encounter with netorare.
>>82068858
That's a shame, I'd be more optimistic but I also know that Ratchet and Clank are gonna be buddy-buddy very quickly in the movie with out the development arc that was in the first game. What kinda made me like Quark even more was despite being lovable, he was a villain in the first game and defeating him in that boss-fight made me worry that he was dead. Fortunately he showed up after the final boss, but that tension made me appreciate Quark all the more.
>>82068858
The game pretty much shot down that rumor, I think.
>>82048663
I've been playing the HD collection and it's my first time going through the series, and I've been on-and-off stuck on Going Commando for a few months just because I seem to loose interest in in a lot more frequently than I did with the first game.
>Mfw Jak and Daxter didn't get a movie.
Hah, I always told Jerome that Ratchet and Clank was superior and this proves it.
>>82069264
Going Commando lacks the solid plot of the first one to help get you through its harder and more filler based levels.
>>82047022
Ratchet & Clank has become one of Sony's top-selling franchises. I'm sure there are quite a few people who will want to watch it. For my part, I don't really care about that movie all that much, but I just hope it won't be too terrible.
I just can't get hyped about this movie, even though I've played almost every single R&C game that has come out (with the exception of the shitty ones that were released relatively recently) and the first three games are even among my favorite games ever. I played the Future trilogy and I liked it, but it wasn't able to capture the magic I had felt when playing the first three games. And here we have an entire movie made in that Future trilogy style that seems almost too clean for my tastes. I still can't get over the fact that Ratchet looks so thin. And to make matters worse it's a fucking origin story, basically retelling the story of the first game in the format of the Future games.
Yeah, I'm sure it's going to be fun watching a movie I already know the plot of, with the addition of some annoying Future trilogy characters, as can be seen on the trailer. I am going to watch it, but perhaps not in theaters, I just can't be fucked. This series represents a very big part of my childhood, but the later games have turned me off of it to some degree. You can only spend so much time with the same characters before you start growing tired of them.
Is there even any advertising for this at all? Are people who are not familiar with Ratchet & Clank going to give a flying fuck about this movie? I sure as fuck hope the budget for this movie isn't too high because this shit is going to flop so hard.
>>82047272
Or they'll blame the video game format/video game audience over their inability to tell a good story
>>82047782
>thing you like
>sales don't matter
>thing you don't like
>yeah well let me see the sales
There are no sales figures available to my knowledge, but I'd wager it's selling beyond Sony's expectations.
>>82069300
> has become one of Sony's top-selling franchises.
it really isnt. is just cheap to make thats why there are many.
>>82069271
Jak and Daxter really isn't that appealing at all despite having decent games tbqhwu, Ratchet and Clank are beyond the better pair.
>>82069620
Not to mention, once Naughty Dog caught the lightning in a bottle that was Uncharted, they never had a reason to look back at Jak. Insomniac has had a few non-Ratchet hits since the PS2 but nothing on the level of Uncharted or The Last of Us.
>>82069994
Which sucks because Uncharted is shit. I'm not a huge fan of Jak but at least there's more to those games than running from room to room killing wave after wave of enemies. Really goes to show how gaming tastes have changed for the worse.
>>82069292
I'd say Going Commando was pretty strong for about the first half of the game, then it starts to drag a bit until the very end of it.
>>82071193
Too many thugs and protopets?
