t-they're still going to market it, right?
s-surely sony wouldn't just forget to promote one of their very few first party exclusive games or the movie, r-right?
They put hundreds of millions of dollars into funding this, do they just not care about making a profit or having anyone see it at all? What's sony's MO?
Expect more marketing around the movie release
It's releasing with the movie, it's going to be cross-promoted.
The rumor is that the game has been finished for over half a year but it got pushed because the film got delayed.

People were saying this a year ago
there's only 4 months left
>>322069014
That's not a rumour, insomniac straight out confirmed that although I think they said they're taking advantage of it as polish time
>Comes out 2 weeks before Unch4rted now
>>322067662
Sony is still playing hardball with Insomniac since Insomniac wants to remain independent.
Remember they made Sunset Overdrive?
>>322069158
They don't spend money promoting movies/games 4 months in advance of release senpai.
>>322069231
Wonder if Sony will splurge on a PS4 Super Bowl ad featuring this and/or Uncharted.
>>322067662
>They put hundreds of millions of dollars into funding this
No, they fucking didn't. Probably not even $10m
>>322069419
Oh, I didn't see that. Yeah, not hundreds of millions of dollars. $10m might be a bit low given the insane production values, though.
>A classic sony ip that hasn't gone to complete shit
Thats something you don't see every day
Ratchet and clank is a shit tier franchise that is overrated because it was one of only a handful of playable games among a mountain of shovel ware trash released for the wobbleststion 2
It's also gay as fuck and fur bait shit
>>322067662
why did they make ratchet look more furry?
>>322069278
>sunset overdrive
I just picked this up last week and it's actually pretty fun. It's not perfect and the humor is pretty hit and miss but I'm enjoying myself
I really wish they had a sonic style boost button, the actual boost button barely makes a difference when you're doing large scale map traversal. And they kind of fucked up by only having one quick select ring, and the only way to equip a weapon is to have it on your quick select. Small things like that are kind of baffling considering how they perfected the system in ratchet and clank
>>322067662
>implying the movie won't have some meta marketing in it for the game
Anyone buying the book?
>>322070037
If sony isn't going to market the game they'll at least try to pander to a niche that will buy it
>>322070141
like I know i'm going to buy and enjoy this game, but making ratchet furry is a big let down for me.
i'll probably drop newer games in the series if it continues to become more "grand pixar"-esque.
>>322070303
>making ratchet furry
What?
>>322070390
I think he means if they continue to make him more furry appealing
>>322070449
Sounds like he's some retard who thinks anything "Anthro" is furry. Soon shit like old Disney movies will be furry
>>322067662
i wish they'd market it but nobody plays these types of games anymore which is a damn shame
>>322070303
Ratchet looks like less of a furry than his more generic anthro design from CIT

It's like they did with Sonic 20's anniversary just promoting like 4-6 months before the game's release. It will be the same with 25th and Rachet seems to be following the trend with the movie.
And they already showed few areas, so I don't think they want to show much more. The game will probably be short as Nexus was.
>>322071564
Nice counter argument fagtron
>>322069937
>>>/co/
Find a Zootopia thread and reside in there, dipshit. You'll have a field day.
>>322072372
We already know it has more levels than Nexus had.
>>322069231
Yeowch. R&C's going to get the most lukewarm reception since Rayman Legends.
>>322072409
There needs to be an argument to counter desu
>>322072372
>The game will probably be short as Nexus was.
I'm almost certain they've confirmed it's a full length ratchet game.
If they are actually using every planet from the original game and then adding a couple new ones (the latter part is confirmed, not sure if they ever said explicitly every original planet is staying in) then they'll have no trouble reaching the 10-14 hours mark
>>322072772
Learn to read then you dumb nigger
>>322067662
It is bad if i say this is the only Ratchet & Clank i ever played?
>>322073504
A bit.
>>322073504
Not bad, you're just missing out
it's easily one of the weakest ratchet games and the physics are jank. The armor system is neat though
>>322072543
>>322072876
The missions they showed it seemed short(the first planet and Metropolis) and way too fast to do. I know you will eventually go back to the planets to do shit in other paths with new gadgets, but other games took a slower approach specially the original trilogy which I enjoyed more.
I hope finding the gold bolts wont be as easy as ToD or Nexus, some were way to obvious or way to easy to get with not much exploring. On ToD, as far as I remember, just the pirate places were the ones you actually explored the most.
>this game is finished
>they could release it next month if they wanted to
>they could've had a big holiday title alongside their other HD remake
>they are waiting so they can cross-promote it with a movie that nobody will see
>the game still has a chance of being a buggy mess when it comes out
>the game will rank was one of the midtier R&C games and be forgotten six months later
>>322073914
The Aleero City demo clearly wasn't the entire level.
>>322073914
Go back and play the PS2 games
Time how long it takes to do the train ride on metropolis compared to the video of PS4 gameplay
I guarantee you the PS4 version is longer unless you really suck at shooting
>>322074026
Probably. The problem is that showed just that part of Metropolis a few times, be trailer or demo. The lava planet seemed more interesting.
>>322074220
>Time how long it takes to do the train ride on metropolis compared to the video of PS4 gameplay
I would say about the same, like a minute and half or so, probably 30 seconds the 2nd time. But that's a later part of the area, you first start with the training section which takes some minutes the first time you played.
I forgot is that on ToD there was a planet with dinosaurs that took a shit load of time the first time. That area was big and you had to hunt a lot.
>>322069231
I'm gonna get both, but that might be a mistake on their part.
>>322075537
>The problem is that showed just that part of Metropolis a few times, be trailer or demo
Because that was a part of the game they were allowed to show. Trailers aren't allowed to just show whatever they want from any part of the game, there are specific sections and places they are restricted to
This game is priced at $40 which can either mean it's really short like nexus or they know nobody is going to shell out 60 fucking dollars either way I'm pretty warry of this game
>>322076370
Back in on the PS2 the games always debuted at $40.
Have they attached any trailers to any movies yet? Havent seen a preview in theaters
>>322076370
>Veldin
>Kerwan
>Blackwater City
>Nebula G34
>Pokitaru
>Gadgetron HQ
>Gaspar
>Gemlik Base
>Hoven
are all confirmed so far. It'll easily be longer than Nexus.
>>322076592
This is bullshit. Fucking jews sold them around 60 euros in my country.
>>322076752
Also 3 new planets that weren't in the original game
>>322076657
Not in theaters
>>322073948
The game has been finished for many months. How in the possible fuck could they release it with a plethora of bugs if they have so long to perfect the game?
Also, the movie looks great and is attracting people outside of the R&C fanbase, which will indeed be good for sales than blasting trailers at the audience on TV or in cinemas. I wouldn't be surprised if the Rotten Tomato score is >=70%.
>>322078060
I'm cautiously optimistic about the movie, it won't be amazing but it should hopefully be fun as long as you're not autistic enough to be mad over the plot taking liberties with the plot of the original game
My biggest concern is they go too far down the kiddy route, TJ Fixman had a tendency to do that with the PS3 games and he wrote this too. I sincerely doubt we'll see much of the cynical 'dark' humor the PS2 games written by programmers and animators had

I honestly don't know why anyone does.
>>322079686
That's one of the reasons I never played them on the PS2. The other reason was seeing always just 3 and not the others.
Only 2 years ago I got Trilogy and the future games and played them in arrow.
>>322081465

>Somebody on /v/ is going to buy and read this so they can tell us how the plot differs
>Somebody on /v/ will turn to the child behind him in the line for the movie and ruin the plot
>>322082581
How will we spoil the plot?
We don't know what exactly they're using.
Will Azimuth be there?
Will Nefarious get mechanized in the movie?
Will Orvus appear? The Great Clock? etc.
Sure, it's the first game's story, but they're adding in all sorts of shit from later, as well as new characters.
And I mean, what is there to spoil about the first game?
>Ratchet beats Drek
Wooooooooooooooooooow

R & C is defunct like banjo, spyro, crash and the rest of the furry mascots.
They don't fit in the new era which Sony knows. That's why they're making it tied in with the movie
>>322082990
Are you not aware that Ratchet & Clank enjoyed the success of four main titles and two spinoffs during the PS3's lifespan?
>>322083104
Clearly comfidence is being lost if they just don't make a full new game and price it at 40 bux
Does anyone actually think the game will be good?
>>322083394
How does that make any sense?
They shelled out the dosh for an animated movie.
Based on a game.
And they own the IP.
So why would they NOT have a tie-in game made? By the development team responsible for the games the movie is based on, no less?
How in the fuck does what you just posted make any sense?
>>322083394
Sony realises that games that appeal to kids need to be cheaper, unlike Nintendo.
