Does anyone else really want this to be good and succeed? I want colorful platformers to make a resurgence. I want kids of today to actually play good games tailored for them, rather than uninspired garbage like Knack.
Part of me feels like this game is going to receive lukewarm reviews, though.
I kinda liked Knack, it wasn't great but it was a little charming.
A shame the doctor was a cuck.
>>333143214
Knack needs a sequel to be honest. Or a reboot
I could easily see it just coming and going with the direction Insomnaics been heading.
Have you seen trailers? It looks great. The game looks fucking beautiful too.
Did anyone say.. Knack?
>>333143602
I'd lose my remaining faith in Insomniac if the game ends you blowing hard
>>333143387it's apparently getting a sequel
Qwark should actually get a sex-change in the end, come on guys, it's 2016, more inclusive gaming.
>mfw the game is coming in 8 days.
>>333144072
I thought that happened in Crack in Time.
>>333142775
>Part of me feels like this game is going to receive lukewarm reviews
im kinda expecting that too but theres hardly any platformers out and i really liked the ps2 version so im going to be getting this no matter what.
>>333143687
I actually liked Knack, kind of.
Only after beating the game on Hard, learning how the game's rhythm of combat works, and replaying it on very hard did I end up appreciating the game's combat "rhythm" of swing/dodge/swing.
But it's also way too fucking repetitive, poorly written (mind-boggling considering all the cutscenes), and uninteresting to genuinely recommend to anyone.
Knack looked nice, but do boring. So boring I haven't dropped a fiver on it in the sale. I'm hoping Ratchet is good. I only ever played the demo on PS2. I'm gonna wait like a week though to make sure it isn't 20fps or something stupid.
40$ for a glorified remaster is just too much for me, but I will consider it when it goes on sale
Inb4 get a job
Do you guys think Song of the Deep might be any good?I pre-ordered it because I'm too big of an Insomniac fan for my own good despite having been burnt a couple of times in the last few years.
>>333144825
>40 dollars
>not being part of best buy gamers club
>tfw getting the game for 32 dollars on launch
>>333142775
>Part of me feels like this game is going to receive lukewarm reviews, though.
Really? I think Ratchet and Clank is going to be the first movie based on a game that will be good, and it looks like it's going to surpass good and be great.
The game looks fantastic too.
Still hate the blarg-redesign.
Fucking pupils.
>>333144825
How is this a remaster? If anything is more like a remake
Totally new graphics for PS4 instead of only higher resolution
New zones added and old ones reimagined
New weapons
I cant see why is this a remaster.
>>333144996
I just don't buy the whole "it's to make them more emotive for the big screen" crap when one of the two titular characters lacks pupils and is emotive enough already. And Pixar proved as much nearly eight goddamn years ago.
I want another Tony Garcia and Mike Stout walkthrough, hopefully we get one for this.
>>333142775
why do you give a fuck what kids play?
are you a marketer?
>>333145376
They didn't work on this game though. If anything they should do a Deadlocked playthrough (I think they were both still with Insomniac at that point, but I don't remember). Then again they'd end up having to deal with how badly Idol Minds fucked up the HD port.
>>333145482
Oh, I thought they were back to do some stuff
>>333143683
looks meh honestly. same exact gameplay as past titles, but now running at 30 fps.
>>333145442
I just don't kids to grow up playing shit games.
>>333145568
Wait, did they? Now that you mention it I think they might've mentioned as much at one point, but I can't remember. But either way we need a Deadlocked playthrough.
>>333144825
in the same sense that 2013 Tomb Raider was a "glorified remaster" of the original Tomb Raider, yeah
>>333145659
well thank god we still have Ratchet & Clank then
>>333145659
This, it's important to take into consideration of how the younger generations entertain themselves, they'll end up as future content creators and if you let too much garbage influence them they'll be more likely to produce more garbage. This will be a problem when you're 50 and still playing video games and managed not to die somehow.
>>333142775
Yes, I hope it sells well. But looking at the top selling PS4 games, I think it will be a hard task.
I was going to pick a PS4 for it but the PS4K news put me on hold.
So is this another sequel or a reboot or both?
>>333145870
Sequel reboot movie tie-in game.
>>333145870
Half remake of the first one, half reboot.
>>333145969
>>333145956
Sounds interesting. Probably for the best. The story was getting a little fuckey anyways.
>>333144996
>gave blargg regular eyes because muh expressions
>despite this they don't change clank because reasons
>despite THAT they're giving robots normal eyes
I better not see Courtney Gears or Robo Nefarious with these kind of eyes
>>333146041
Needs Darla Gratch
>>333146145
Darla is low tier robo reporter waifu
>>333146041
10000000000000 years in paint.
>>333145659
um, why not?
also, R&C was probably considered garbage by older people when it came out. I can see that, and it's fine. because opinions exist.
>muh childhood was better than yours
just let them have their own crap. it doesn't really matter.
>>333142775
Ratchet and Clank is the best!
>>333146254
Oh god, no
>>333143214
I saw it on sale but I've heard bad things, I love colourful platformer a but it looked a little weeby for my tastes. Should I give it a go?
>>333146254
delete this
>>333146324
the stuff of nightmares
>>333146324
Can someone put the JUST eyes on clank?
>>333146310
If you enjoy Goblin genocide, then yes.
And I don't care what anyone says, Knack fucking straight up kills those Goblins. They die.
Otherwise it's lacking but not really bad, it can get fun or artificial difficulty on the harder settings depending on how you see things, and the overall story is a little weak, but I enjoyed it, I'd say if it's cheap, maybe sub $15, give it a go.
It's looking to be pretty damn good. It still has weapon level ups and upgrades which I love.
As long as it has new game + and a bunch of secrets/skill points to search for I'm sold
Yooka-Laylee out this year?
I'm good with Ratchet and not-banjo to get my fix this year.
>>333144825
It's an outright remake, not a remaster.
>>333144825
It's a complete reimagining with new mechanics from the future games. That'd be like saying Super Mario Galaxy is a remaster of Super Mario 64.
>>333144825
remake/reboot with subjective validity on the state of canon as it's told from qwark's perspective.
Though I can safely assume that Nefarious being retconned to Drek's chief engineer whlie organic as a decent change regardless.
Drek was basically just a CEO
>>333146451
>goblin genocide
>it's $10.50
Sweet, I'll give it a go
>>333146657
Insomniac put him in as sequel-bait. If the movie and game flops, it'll be pointless.
>>333142775
it's just a mechanically stripped down, less witty remake of the first game. Literally no reason to play it.
I've never played the original ones. I even went with nintendo in the 6th gen but I never played any colorful games that aren't from japan after the Spyro games on PS1 and some SNES games. Is this one of those collectathon where you have to search in every nook and cranny to find some bullshit?
>>333146780
Shit youve played it? How long is it bro? How is the upgrade system?
>>333146725
basically putting Nefarious in the first game demands re-writes for the rest of the games which is fine because Nefarious has always been the best villain in the series.
Second game's plot was weak and could do with an overhaul. Third game would require Nefarious to acknowledge his previous acquaintance with Ratchet.
>>333146041
they're giving everything pupils because the designs were slightly ominous before and could scare children.
reminder that this movie and game are geared towards young children and that the funny, slightly edgy humor of the original games has been completely removed for the reboot
>>333146809
I only played them a few years back after being a Nintendo/Rare platformer fan forever, they're worth playing if you're into that stuff.
>>333146813
based on interviews and gameplay videos
>>333142775
I'm really hoping the movie does well also.
R&C and also Jak and Daxter were great games and I would love to see a resurgence.
>>333142775
It will be successful.
The question is HOW successful?
Crash Bandicoot is out this year or next so it will be bigger than this anyway.
>>333147364
Jak and Daxter won't happen because the lowest common denominator.
Requesting the neogaf shit where someone asked if they'd like to see games like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter to come back and the response was no I love eating shit like The Last of Us and Uncharted
>>333146414
Those eyes already kind of look like the JUST eyes.

>Crash Bandicoot is out this year or next so it will be bigger than this anyway.
Enough crap, anon. I can't stand much sadness.
Any non-Nintendo platformer is swept under the rug.
Kids play Nintendo and Dosney Infinity. Teens play call of duty and halo. Men play Uncharted and Dark Souls
>>333146780
>mechanically stripped down
wat
R&C1 is the most barebones of all the games in terms of gameplay mechanics.
>>333148159
Gladiator/Deadlocked exists.
>>333148234
I said gameplay mechanics, are you retarded, or do you practice?
>>333147510
Why do people want crash to come back again? The gameplay is the simplest it can get, truly the Mario of playstation as all he does is spin and jump on shit.
Yea he gets new abilities like double jump and body slam but what else can they do with crash ?
>>333148397
Because sometimes simple is good?
>>333146041
>pupils
>five fingered hands
WHAT IS THIS SHIT?
the pupils are bullshit but at least they have an attempted excuse but the hands? why.
for like, ever ratchet was the only one with five fingered hands with very few exceptions.
>>333148234
Are you kidding me? Mechanically that was pretty deep for a R&C game due to the weapon mod system.
>>333147603
JUSTO
>>333143387
>Or a reboot
There is only 1 game in the Knack "franchise" and already you want a reboot?
>>333147905

Anyone play through all these? Is 3.0 good?
>>333149320
Wouldn't surprise me if it happened with the current vidya industry.

Fuck off back to /tv/ with your shitty memes
Quick /v/, claim your weaponfu!
>>333142775
Ratchet and clank are usually pure gameplay joy,
I cant fucking wait :)
>>333149680
Never been to that board in my life and JUST is my favorite meme
>>333149761
I mean, technically, they're not exactly the same.
>>333142775
Have you seen the gameplay footage yet OP?
The character interactions aren't even lip synced outside of prerendered stuff.
So all the characters you meet.
Canned animations for Ratchet
and Clank
and whoever you're talking to like Skiddz
>>333149884
needs more FPS drops
>>333149761
>>333149761
Tesl--fuck, Insomniac!
I just hope all these recycled guns pull a lava gun and upgrade into something brand new instead of rehashing the upgrade too
I gotta deal with the buzzblades again, at least make them do something new and interesting when they reach V5
>>333150508

I'm still getting the game but Insomniac just keep getting worse
>>333151017

?????
>>333151073
>>333151017
What the fuck you expect on PS2 engine? Those games tried to be vibrant and cartoonish, but graphic limitations n shit.
>>333151260
I feel like this game won't have enough new weapons to re-energize the IP. The gameplay is already super solid and refined, there is nothing they can do to change up the formula of TPS strafing/platforming
>>333151316
>>333142775
>tfw you realise ratchet and clank is the best third person shooter of all time
>>333151526
Yea there's a bit of color but it's not full rainbow like in the movie.

>>333151526
Man, even after all these years, I still really like the worlds in R&C1 the most.
>>333151773
How was that hard? I know the controls are a bit wonky, but it's not like you'resaving the four robots in the bank without any of them dying.
>>333151987
It's ridiculously hard, but maybe I just suck ass.
>>333142775
I wanna fuck that wrench
>>333152052
If you're boosting the whole way, it's difficult. You just need to boost a few rings in front and fly casually for the rest.
>>333142775
I hope the game does well but I hope the movie flops. The movie looks generic as fuck and doesn't even feel like Ratchet and Clank any more, at least the game can still be good in the game department since R&C1 is probably the one most needing of a remake.
Ratchet is cute
CUTE
>>333148441
it's to humanize them so they dont scare the children in the theater
But it's shit because it has the bouncer
>>333151879
maybe because theyre the only ones that don't look like themeparks
WHY THE FUCK IS THIS 30FPS WHEN THE PS2 GAMES ARE 60
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>333152518
He looks cross-eyed.
>>333152762
Because the PS4 has shit harder
As long as doesn't drop like Nexus did I'm happy.
>>333152762
CINEMATIC 30 FPS
>>333152762
60fps is a meme. It doesn't really matter.
>>333152762
For Some reason Insomniac wanted to make R&C stay at a stable 30 FPS after a Crack in Time was finished
>>333148397
There's a reason Mario is popular despite being "Simple"
Crash is similar, it had basic movement but the design and level structure made it fun
got it on preorder.
it does feel like a smaller project though.
don't really want to throw the terms Cash Grab or Nexus 2.0 around but it sure has that bad after taste.
also considering this could be the only Ratchet game we get on PS4 they could have gave us some sick multiplayer, i actually liked the multiplayer in ratchet games. talking competetive multiplayer here.
>>333154263
Co op in deadlocked was rad
>>333153948
But didn't ACiT run at 60?
>>333154417
well sure, add coop too.
i just hope the arena this time isn't half assed and that there is some replay value or something to unlock for new game +. I just need a little bit more than just Ratchet 1 in pretty.
>>333154519
Best Sly
>>333142775
>I want colorful platformers to make a resurgence.
Then explain why you're fussing over another bog standard third person shooter? Ratchet was never a platformer.
The original series was good in a thematic sense because it tried to do as much as it could with a PG13 rating. Making the games too overtly kiddy was a problem that the later games had.
>>333143687
UH OH
(here comes the money)
