Ratchet & Clank ThreadRatchet & Clank Thread
I hope the new characters don't ruin the movie.Who am I kidding, it's Sony. They'll fuck this up worse than they did Ghostbusters.
>>332127252
Sony has nothing to do with the movie.
>>332127252
My bigger problem is that they are rewriting the fuck out of the original plot to switch Ratchet from his original selfish character into a boy scout that wants to save the galaxy
Honestly bros the Bouncer is trash
>he actually pre-ordered the new game for it
did someone say Jak & Daxter thread?
>>332127252
>>332127780
I bet it's just an early-unlock code and everyone else will get it later on in the game anyway.
>>332127931
how about both
>30fps remake of a 60fps game
>>332127715
The original was going to be rewritten regardless of Ratchet being a dick. You can't make a movie that consists of two characters bouncing from infobot gag to infobot gag for 80 minutes.
>>332127780
It's great towards the end of the game when you need that huge firepower but it's early forms are indeed trash.

>Framerate is important, but not critically so. When there is a clear choice between framerate and improved graphics, graphics should win. The correlation with review scores is clear.
>There is virtually no advantage in sales or reviews of a 60 fps game versus a 30 fps game.
>Only a minority of players notice framerate as a significant issue of any kind.
Face it Insomniac has been dead for years.

I'm not buying your game Brian.
>>332129202
then fuck off shitposter
>>332128342
Why is it b8? James Stevenson of Insomniac has already confirmed it. They are going for visual fidelity first and not gameplay. It's going to be a budget game as well, so don't expect a high quality game like ACiT and older games. It'll be more comparable to the glitchy Nexus.
>Mario Sunshine is 30 fps
>Nobody gives a shit.
>R&C is 30 fps
>Everyone whines.
The only genres where 60fps are a must are racers, Fighting games and Character Action games. 60 fps in a Platformer that hardly has any platformer is a nice bonus but I ain't crying a river over it.
This game is literally for furfags.
>>332130352
What kind of fucking comparison is that
Mario fucking sunshine is not on a current Gen console
Mario fucking sunshine is not a goddamn shooter
Why are you trying to drag a platformer from two gens ago into this?
>>332130163
ratchet and clank games have always been like sex or pizza to me.
when its good, its good. when its bad, its still kinda good.
>>332130532
Even All 4 One and Secret Agent Clank?
>>332130635
Not same anon, but A4O is fun if you have a bunch of friends and you just wanna mess around for a stage or two.
SAC at least has some charm like that Qwark musical stage. At worse these games are Meh, I can't think of a game that was 100% bad.
>>332130635
i played all 4 one with 4 players. you could play some of the worst games in the world but if you are playing them with your friends then they can still be fun. plus i found the the end boss fight of all 4 one to be pretty satisfying.
i never got to play size matters or secret agent clank. i wanted to play them but i couldn't justify buying a PSP for only 2 games.
>>332127931
>>332128157
I know the Ratchet games emulate poorly, but do the Jak games emulate any better?
>>332130532
I hated the PSP game, it was awful. All the games on console that followed the proper R&C formula were great
>>332130763
>is fun if you have a bunch of friends and you just wanna mess around for a stage or two.
You could say the same about games like Ride to Hell. That doesn't really make it good.
>>332130517
FPS is not something people shoot anymore except on those genres I mentioned.
And that's not Insomniac. But of course everyone brings it up only when Insomniac is mentioned.
Also, there were tons of 60fps games when sunshine came out, so by your post, they should have done it right THEN
I fucking enjoy 60 fps, but no R&C game really asks you to do stuff only 60fps can provide given how fucking easy they are. As long as the control is tight that's all that matter and have always been with those games.
>>332130870
Emulate the PSP versions or try to get your hands on the PS2 ports. Not that the games are worth playing, but if you're desperate for more Ratchet.
>>332130532
Same here. It's one of few games that I can go back to at any time and have a blast with.
>>332130938
A4O wasn't as god-forsaken glitchy.
Threadly reminder of who the best fembot of the series is.
>>332128751
Are you starting to understand you are that very minority they're talking about?
Is the new game going to be any good? I'm debating getting it while it's cheap on prime
Google.com
>>332127091
anyone had any success emulating the old games?

been waiting for the PS2 version to pop up on craigslist so i can go grab them. they are the only ones i haven't played so might as well

I dont remember what episode in this they talk about it, but its one of the developers doing an LP of the first R&C and he mentions that they had a huge in house debate about the 60fps, the pushed it constantly, and had all sorts of trouble getting it there... and then when they downgraded to 30fps for a later game, they made sure to ask the testers about it, and nearly no one noticed and if they did, they didnt care.
>>332131234
Pros
>level design is more or less the same as the original, with some added areas and ship segments here and there
>grafix
>more hoverboarding
>Ratchet isn't a dick
>strafing
>$40
Cons
>30FPS (may or may not be a problem to you)
>a good chunk of the weapons are borrowed from Future
>Ratchet isn't a dick
>the cutscenes that aren't lifted from the movie are kinda lazy
>>332131834
>they didnt care
Yes, I really enjoyed my R&C games turning into slideshows whenever I shot a rocket at the 3 enemies were on screen in FFS and Nexus. Thanks playtesters for not caring about gameplay.
>>332131834
Bsically 99% of the people complaining about fps in RC threads are basically PC users
>>332131125
>>332131475
>implying it's not Courtney Gears
>implyingher being evildoesn't make it better
>>332127715
It is retold from Quarks perspective as to not completely lorefuck the game.
>>332132454
close, but no cigar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=qQY9Pu32bhE#t=748 i found the exact spot
12:30 into the second episode.
"why dont you make it prettier? EUGH guys, we need that sixty!" "then when we got to deadlocked, we just locked it at 30 instead because of the possible splitscreen,"
>>332132890
it sucks knowing now how much crazier the original ratchet game could've looked if the developers wrn't brainwashed by >muh 60fps at the time. They too admit in that video it goes right out the window because nobody actually gives a fuck and it doesn't bother people beside PC clowns who don't buy consoles in the first place.
JUST
>>332133227
Here's what it looks like in practice.
If frame rates weren't labelled in this webm you wouldt be able to pick out 30 or 60.
Why do you even browse these threads though? You're a PC user, why do you care about consoles?
Just don't play the game if >muh hardware fps is going to stop you from enjoying it. Don't even enter the threads. Just leave, your just shitposting.

PC user, poorfag console gamer
>>332128751
What a garbage developer. I thought I might get this game but nah fuck that.

>>332133497
Not a PCuck (obviously) but how the hell do you play like that 60fps bit? It's so fast and burry outside of the center focal point.
>>332133753
not spooky enough
>>332127780
As in the R&C2 bouncer?
You're objectively wrong. Even if the first version isn't great (it's still better than 75% of the game's weapons), it upgrades very quickly, even within a level sometimes, and does huge damage to a wide range of enemies. Compare that to the rocket launcher which has neither comparable power nor blast radius and you'll find a real trash weapon.
Although I don't remember what it was like in R&C3. Can we all agree, though, that 3 had a far superior arsenal to 2?
