Ratchet and Clank thread. Talk about how hard you dropped it after hearing Otlantis was cut, how shit the bouncer is, how are they gonna handle gold bolts, gold weapons and skill points or about how lifeless this might feel.

It's only now that I realise that Ratchet and Clank releases on the same day as Dark Souls 3. Which one will you be getting?
>>
How are they handling gold bolts and skill points? Is it that bad?
>>
>>332308575
I wonder if gold bolts are gonna be in the same place they were?

I liked that level. It showed how much clank helps ratchet with everything and how they're co-dependant. And you got the morph-o-ray there

It's also why I hated deadlocked

Wasn't going to end up getting it since I don't own a PS4. I'm at least going to see the movie.

Is Oltanis the only cut planet? I heard they merged Gaspar with Nebula G34.

New layouts for the existing planets but probably not any outright new planets. Streamlining the game with a reboot is what R&C1 really needed but unfortunately that means some cuts had to be made.

Also, how come most of these mascots have been treated like garbage lately?
Spyro is literally who at this point, Crash is a mutant fighting game, Sly Cooper is ok and Jak & Daxter is dead and beyond saving.

What makes R&C different? I grew up with all these games but this series is the only one who managed to stay close at home during its whole lifespan.
Is it Insomniac themselves and their disregard for naming their game (Clockblocked) or is it the constant push to be edgier in the industry?
>>
>>332317080
Ratchet and Clank is arguably more niche, especially in this gen. Who the fuck is talking about this reboot?

>>332317225
Well Spyro and Crash got fucked up by Universal or whatever, and no one could really pick up the scraps and continue their legacy. Jak + Daxter died because Naughty Dog wanted to make more 2srs4u movies.

R+C is different because Insomniac are the only ones making R+C games, and Sony still owns it.

Platformers have been dead for a long time, R+C focuses more on the weaponry aspect and gameplay never really becomes stale.
>>
>>332308015
>/v/ now has a R&C thread every day
It's my favourite vidya series but this is getting a bit much. I always end up staying on these until it dies/4am & making half the posts, but I'm running out of things to say without repeating myself & becoming like that Bouncer shithead

It's a shame Otlantis was cut because I always remember that for being when the difficulty really ramped up. Plus it was where you fought Qwark & got your oh-so-hollow revenge...does that mean they're not having Qwark be a twist bad guy now?
>>
>>332318008
Qwark still betrays, but its out of envy of Ratchet's success. He isn't allied with Drek now.
>>
>>332318008
>does that mean they're not having Qwark be a twist bad guy now?
They are actually. You don't fight Qwark on Otlantis, you fight him at his HQ and later at the Gemlik Base.
>>
>>332308015
Is it only one guy complaining about the Bouncer or are there multiple people baiting?
>>
>>332318393
The Bouncer is just that shit, f.a.m.
>>
>>332318393
Just one guy. Probably trying to hide his bitterness that it's pre-order content and is trying to sound like he never liked it in the first place.
>>
>>332314651
Eudora, Oltanis, Umbris are definitely cut. The Blarg station got the Snagglebeast and Qwark's betrayal most likely. Hoven and Batalia are merged together. Quartu should be in, but will probably be very different. Kalebo might be in, there are models for the Gadgetron CEOs and a test dummy room is in one of the trailers. No sign of Gemlik so far, probably replaced by Drek Industries re: Qwark boss fight. Orxon might have suffered the same fate, considering the planet count's supposed to be 13 IIRC.

>>332316517
Should be a couple new planets according to some interview. Some of the returning ones have been heavily redesigned too, e.g. Hoven/Batalia.
>>
The bouncer was incredibly useful during the later stages of Going Commando when you had to deal with hordes of those fucking protopets
>>
DSP abused the Bouncer so that means it's shit.
>>
shouldn't we save all these r&c threads until the reboot is out?
>>
>>332318193
>>332318201
Oh okay, if they can pull it off that might be acceptable. Although I don't like the whole 'Ratchet is so great' vibe that's giving off. That said, the motive for Qwark being allied with Drek in the first game doesn't really fit with his character from every game afterwards
>>
>>332318767
>Orxon might have suffered the same fate
I hope not. Orxon is one planet which has the potential to be fantastic with a current-gen makeover

Not even R&C was safe with Size matters and Secret Agent Clank.

But that being said Size matters did one cool thing with those Customization Armor Pieces, I'm still upset that's never made a return.
>>
I'm pretty sure 2 or 3 shots from an upgraded heavy bouncer completely assfucks Chainblade
>>
>>332320257
Size Matters wasn't that bad. It's good for replaying. You can just blaze through that shit five times in a day.

Online was fun for the time.

Secret Agent Clank was the result of letting meme humour have too much control.

>>332320254
It's a short but decent game. Biggest gripe is the framerate though.

Nexus is fun but way too short. A Crack in Time is the best game in the series since the PS2 ones.

I only played a demo of the original, so this doesn't really matter to me. I understand the frustration though. I had the same problems with Tomb Raider Anniversary. That game was an even bigger shambles.

Seems like the longer this franchise has gone on the more of its identity it's lost.

Yeah but Burgerman was still around for TOD and that had bland music.

It seems more like a decision on Insomniac's part to be as much like Pixar as possible.
>>
>>332317225
Sly 1 is my favourite platformer. Or at least up there with Crash 3. 2 was shit though. So many bad changes. 3 slightly improved that but not to a big enough extent. I sorta want to play 4 but I rally hate open worlds. It certainly doesn't fit Sly.
>>
>>332321305
I hate how they're getting praise from normies for becoming "le Pixar of vidya", like that's cool and all but that's not what R&C was about.

It's not confirmed but it's heavily implied based on what we know.

like I guess to be fair, it's running pretty much the same as the real thing, but SDTV resolution looks like fucking garbage these days, especially when you see how nice it looks upscaled to 1080p, with the exception of all the fucking textures breaking to shit because the mipmapping issue.

What's got me baffled is that the game isn't even taxing the CPU much, none of the cores are near 100% load, ram use is minimal, I don't know why I can't just make it EMULATE HARDER.

It does look like it'll be slightly smaller than the average R&C game.
13 planets, 15 weapons. Factoring in minigames and all, it will probably be the same length as ACiT, space sectors included.

Well, Drek says he's "too washed up for ground combat", so presumably he couldn't support himself by being a hero anymore, which lead to him trying to be the spokesperson for Drek's new planet.

Insomniac used loads of hacky ps2 tricks to get the game to perform well. Like they manipulated the most needed files to be on the inside of the disc because that gets read first. Bullshit like this is why the games emulate like shit.

You won't see jokes like The Crotchetizer in this. little kids are going to see this movie and buy the game, hence why it has tutorials out the ass

it's not being made for challenge

Is there a difficulty setting?

>since the Future series started
Do you really think that QfB, ACiT & ItN are like that? To me it was only ToD which had the stupid shit like the cragmite/lombax affair & the 'so mysterious' zoni. The villains in QfB & ACiT were hardly taken seriously. Vendra Progg was a bit melodramatic but hardly got any screentime & got usurped by a comical eldritch horror space eel early on

Christ why is Ratchet such a bitch boi

And what happened to the grimy, dingy look of the original? Why is everything super shiny and futuristic?
>>
>>332331628
Seriously nothing wrong with him at all.

More annoyed that they made Ratchet into a nerd, when the original had him poking fun at Al for being a nerd. I guess that's where the trends are nowadays.

That's not a joke though, that's literally just a glitch. Why would they put that in the reboot?

How does something like that happen as a glitch?
>>
>>332331787

I'd consider CiT pretty melodramatic, mostly the lombax shit and Clank being a predestined time janitor, but there's at least a few decent scenes. QfB is basically a filler game so it doesn't really have time to get into the space opera stuff. I remember Nexus taking itself too seriously despite how stupid the story was but my memory is a bit hazy on that one.
>>
>>332332379
Amazing taste. Deadlocked definitely had some of the most fun weapons even if they weren't in line with the rest of the series
>>
They should have a Ratchet game that features the undeniable best weapons in the whole series. That'd be pretty fun.

>>332332806
I feel that ACIT balanced things by keeping the light-hearted comedy up throughout until the final level (ITN did tend to flip between serious & fun which was an issue I'll admit). The predestined time janitor stuff annoyed me at first but Clank's rejection of it in order to have more space shenanigans with his bro made it worthwhile

I think the problem is that in the Future games Ratchet suddenly starts taking things seriously & having monologues at the antagonists about how what they're plotting is bad. In the PS2 era he would only really ever express having fun, feeling cajoled into something, or being pissed off

that and use Speedhacks, I use Aggressive for R&C and Balanced for R&C2 and I beat the former 4 times already, the biggest pain isn't the slowdown, it's dealing with it speeding up and going back to slow and ruining your rhythm but I just pretend it's dramatic, also shit looks glitchy at a distance but you get used to it, backgrounds don't do shit and you can tell which boxes/enemies are by their shape and color.

I wanted both of these games now I have to choose dark 3 over clank although I'm still doing some debating cause apparently dark souls3 still suffers from
Shit pvp cause from are to dumb to just go back to demon souls style pvp and make covenants based of it instead of making useless covenants that have dumb summoning mechanics

It's called Aleero City in the remake, but still gets referred to as Metropolis on occasion.

All of the returning R&C1 weapons from GC were absolute trash. I'm glad UYA had the decency of making the GC weapons actually viable (and in some cases even vastly improving them from their original counterparts).

That was a spin-off, complaining about it would be retarded.
The transitional game Nexus went back to the classic gameplay style as did the upcoming soft reboot.

Have you seen any new Thief games since the last one? Do you see any on the horizon? Do you want me to start dragging up games like Breath of Fire 6? No? Then shut the fuck up.

It's downright nitpicking when you clowns complain about shit like "oh no, al has a beard now!"

>>

>That was a spin-off

Not if it would have been successful. The R&C games haven't been a huge hit since the PS2 days. It's why Nexus and the new R&C have been reduced to budget games with a 40$ price tag. If A4O and FFS didn't have the backlash they did, Insomniac might not have gone back to more traditional gameplay with Nexus.

And who knows. Maybe Eidos Montreal will do the same with Thief 5.

>>332337102
Different anon here. Really feels like he goes all-out on the last one - while he doesn't have any new tricks (maybe one, actually. Been a few years) it is MUCH more hectic. Took me several attempts the first time

Also:
>first run (not challenge mode)
>hardest difficulty
>no armour
>try to stick to weapons that aren't yet fully upgraded
If you're not doing all four of these already you shouldn't be commenting on the difficulty. All the mainline games are roughly equal on this level aside from Deadlocked which is fucking solid
>>
>>332337727
Looks like a Visi-Copter model

Does ammo for tools in ToD look like the tool itself? If so then it's probably that & you're just maxed out on ammo for it. If not then did you use one earlier? Model may have glitched out
>>
>>332337981
>Not if

There is no "if" and now you're trying to go for red herrings to deflect your own retardation, so fuck off.

> The R&C games haven't been a huge hit since the PS2 days.

Which is why they're making this movie and game, at a reduced pricetag to boot.
The game and movie is still faithful and you nitpicking this hard is a sign of being a fucking idiot.

I'm sitting here getting kicked in the nuts repeatedly with THI4F, Breath of Fire 6, Resident Evil (which celebrates the fucking 20th anniversary with a fucking MP shooter against other humans) and much much worse while you complain about the tiniest shit in this R&C game. Fuck you.

Ammo for weapons is just colored variants of the same model, and I've never actually seen ammo for gadgets before, so I guess they gave individual models for gadget-ammo
