So I just started the game (got an early copy), left the tutorial area and arrived on Novalis. How did the mad men from Insomniac do it? How do they make it look this fucking good? Also, I think they nailed the humor. Can't wait for the movie.
>acknowledging the fact it's a game based on a movie based on a game at the very first cutscene
>acknowledging it's a remake / reboot
>they even added a movie ticket in the physical copy box, so you could watch the R&C movie for free when it's outthough I'm afraid the police will think I'm a pedophile or something if I go to the theater to watch it
I'll post a handful of pics I took.
Ratchet & Clank thread, I guess.
>>333761809
>they even added a movie ticket in the physical copy box, so you could watch the R&C movie for free when it's out
that's bretty cool
>>333761986
Yeah, man. I think they're trying to do the right thing with this franchise. Apparently, the movie will tell the same story of the game, but the game is toldfrom Captain Qwark's point of view
>>333761809
>though I'm afraid the police will think I'm a pedophile or something if I go to the theater to watch it
I'm so fucking sick of this meme, nobody cares what you do. I go to watch films alone all the time because I work odd hours, I go to animted films and normal films and nobody has ever batted an eyelid or gave a single shit.
Man up.
>>333761809
>they even added a movie ticket in the physical copy box, so you could watch the R&C movie for free when it's out
Pics? This is the first time I've heard about this.
>>333762263
I'm not sure if it's exclusive to my country, but here's a pic explaining the promotion.
The game is fabulous, so much going on in the tutorial... I can't wait to get to later areas.
>>333762214
O-Ok, I'll man up...
Jesus, I didn't remember the first game looking that bad.
How noticeable is 30FPS? Does combat feel the same as CiT with no improvements?
>>333763609
The original still looks pretty good considering it came out in 2002.
>>333763736
Combat feels like Up Your Arsenal / Going Commando, 30 fps is barely noticeable, in my opinion, because it's extremely stable. Everything is very well animated, especially the enemies (it's like watching a cartoon when they die).
is it still 30 frames?
>>333764235
yes
It looks like a downgrade from what they originally showed. The screens had MSAA and full filtering while this has some pretty obvious FXAA and 2x-4x AF.
Sony going to Sony, I guess.
>>333763825
All about Art Direction bb
>>333764132
>like UYC/GC
Explain. CiT nailed the movement and stafe shooting perfectly
Here's another comparison shot I just took. Planet Novalis (the first real planet you go to).
>>333764667
I don't really know how to explain, but I played all the previous titles in the franchise (original trilogy and PS3 trilogy) and it felt closer to the later PS2 R&C games.
>>333764921
this is the treatment I'd like to see Spyro get
the same game, just brought into 2016 physically and graphically
is ratchet & clank a platformer? i've never played this shit but it looks cool and 3d platformers need a revival.
>>333765010
Yeah, I hope Sony does the same to Sly, since it's getting a CGI movie as well. I think they might revitalize their platformers (unfortunately, Spyro is in Activision's hands now).
>>333765092
Its always been a TPS/3d platformer with some puzzles.
>>333765102
Sly would require Sucker Punch to jump back on it. Sanzaru is ded after Sonic Boom.
SP could do it, they haven't announced shit since DLC for SS in 2014.
>>333761809
>>333762145
>jpg screens
Why not png? I hate jpg compression.
>>333765092
Sorta. There's more focus on gunplay and gadgets than jumping around.
Can 2 people play on the same screen
>>333761809
>How did the mad men from Insomniac do it? How do they make it look this fucking good?
ps4, bro.
sony ALWAYS has the best graphics.
Here's a higher resolution version of that Novalis pic I took and used to compare to the original.
>>333765092
It's more of an action platformer, meaning you'll not only be jumping, climbing, swimming but also shooting a LOT. The fun part is that there are many weapons and they're all different and unique. It's really fun to upgrade them and give them new properties.
>>333761809
Show us some more screenshots please, show us nice vistas
I kinda wanna get the game but I kinda hate them for making their games 30 frames.
>>333765185
I think they're saved as jpgs on the PS4. Is there a way to change that?
>>333765260
I don't think there's multiplayer.
>>333765328
Are you using a usb to upload the pics or are you saving them through FB/Twitter because they get compressed harder that way
>>333765102
>Yeah, I hope Sony does the same to Sly
Please, no.
>>333762145
looks like a e3 trailer for a ps3 game
>>333765418
>Is there a way to change that?
Yes go the share settings and change it to png.
>>333765179
Completely forgot about Thieves in Time
was it any good
>>333765442
I'm uploading them through twitter, then changing the filename from jpg-large to jpg-orig, to get the 1080p version without using an USB dongle.
>>333765586
Yeah its good. I like it better than Sly 3
>>333764485
why would you ever think a ps4 game thst pushes the hardware would be able to handle msaa? just seems stupid on your part. game looks good for a console game
>>333765102
If they go on a revitalize-platformers rampage, that would be the best. Just some top notch 60fps gameplay from the likes of sly, spyro, jak, etc. and I'd be set.
>>333765449
Why not, anon?
>>333761809
I don't like how character and story has changed
and the music
The atmosphere is very different form the ratchet i grew up with and love
>>333765518
I see, changed it now, thanks bro. The problem is that the pics are now 3.3 mb and above, how do I upload those here? Isn't the max size 3 mb?
>>333765328
are all worlds creepily devoid of life like the originals? the old games had a sinister, isolating quality to them that I always liked
>>333765787
I ll give it a try
bought the HD release recently and completely forgot about this
>>333761809
how's the music and humor and atmosphere in general compared to the old ones?
>>333766094
Sorta. They have MUCH more going on, tons of enemy ships flying around and exploding stuff, but you still don't see many civilians running around.
>>333766026
Let me test something, gonna upload another screenshot.
>>333765010
Spyro distinctive dream like art style came from using old graphics techniques
Skybox that are colored polygons instead of textures
Vertex lighting
Things in the distance fading to just colored polygons
If they did a next gen spyro modern graphics it wouldn't have the atmosphere of spyro at all.
A new spyro game should have the graphics of the ps1 games, at a higher resolution with a higher polycount (in some places) and some sharper textures.
>>333766283
Just like the originals in tone, which is great. Captain Qwark is as charming as ever. The songs are better quality and more complex, probably because they'll use some tracks in the movie as well. This feels more like a real OST, if you know what I mean.
>>333766383
But I wasn't asking for Spyro "modern graphics". We all know that means retarded textures and gritty grayness everywhere.
What they've done to R&C is similar to what I'd like to see done with Spyro - keeping the aesthetic and atmosphere while still filling out the environments in a way that makes sense (ie no more super flat ground everywhere).
>>333766539
Are you a shill or what?
We know its generic orchestra instead of the signatures funky futuristic stuff
And the humor is like from a 2004 dreamworks movie for babies
>>333764667
All the PS3 games blew ass.
>>333766686
is this anon telling the truth?
>>333764921
Jeez that looks pretty good.
>>333765010
You cannot just remake spyro. The art direction would not scale unless stylized like the original games. If you made it look "realistic" it would look like shit.
This is fucking awesome, please upload some more OP.
Also, can you specify if you have the NA or EU copy of the game and what the spine of the box art looks like? Is it just plain text or dose it have a colourized RC logo on it?
please respond OP
>>333765328
Wait is that statue a lady in R&C 2 or 3.
She looks like her.
>>333766820
>unless stylized like the original games
ok so what was the purpose of your comment, this is what I was asking for
>>333766790
I wouldnt lie to you anon, im a truth seeker
Im still going to buy it though, ill probalby still buy them all no matter how bad they get
>>333766686
Didnt they replace the composer
>>333764632
I still think the spyro games look fucking lovely.
It's amazing how nice stuff can age.
>>333766686
Opinions, mate. And it's plenty futuristic to me. Ratchet & Clank has always had the same type of humor in all their games. It's always tongue-in-cheek.
>>333766686
>DreamWorks
>baby humor
i hope you meant Disney
>>333765449
>>333765996
Someone post the comparison with PS2 Sly and Sly 4 Sly. Something about >determined gaze >strong chin and so on
>>333766539
Did they ruin the innuendo? That is what I fear the most. These games were full of childish dirty jokes, passive aggressive assholes, sarcasm and slapstick. If they changed that like they did in the PS3 games, I would be upset.
>>333766962
Ratchet has had quite a few composers
But the first 3 games all had the same kind of music
And yeah this composer didnt work on the first 3 and its just generic orchestra
>>333767056
I think that was ps2 sly compared to the ugly movie trailer
>>333766945
I think that's a statue of Cora.
>>333767115
What about A Crack In Time
That was my favourite OST
is this the same guy
that would be cool
>>333765179
>Sanzaru is ded after Sonic Boom.
what do you mean by dead
>>333767196
Really? Their chin hair looks exactly the same. Movie one definitely does look worse but I always saw it as Sly 4.
>>333767021
>Ratchet & Clank has always had the same type of humor
No for the ps3 games it got worse, it was more like an unpopular disney show, and it seems to have gotten worse for the ps4 game
>>333767271
Oh ok, that makes sense. I couldn't tell if it had long ears on it or not.
>>333761809
>R&C1: generic orchestral OST edition
no thanks
>>333767365
Maybe the writers changed
>>333767021
TJ fixman, the writer that came in after the ps2 games, sucks ass
>>333767475
Where did OP go? =/
>>333767365
>it was more like an unpopular disney show
You're full of shit. It wasn't as snarky as the PS2 games but it was NO WHERE near that bad.
>>333767478
They did, and thats why, and it sucks
Is this supposed to look good?
>>333766945
It really does look like her, I might have to go there to find out.
>>333766940
I can't upload much more because I'm still very early in the game. I have the SA (south america) copy, which is exactly like the NA one. It has the RC logo on it, but all in white letters and a picture of Ratchet and Clank.
>>333767621
Taking more pics.
Whats different about the new game? More objectives or is it still "Go from A to B" the game?
>>333767104
Less childish dirty jokes, but the other ones are still there (sarcasm, slapstick), from what I've seen so far.
>>333767773
Thanks for clearing that up OP, I'll be getting the NA version of the game in that case.
Also waiting for more pics xD
OP wouldn't a usb upload be a little faster or do you not have one atm?
>>333767632
Your letting your love of the early games cloud your judgement
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWRilQ9lnI
If you never knew what ratchet and clank was, you would think this looked like lame and unfunny crap
Even if you think its not bad, it at least very different from the source material, so why am i as a ratchet and clank fan supposed to like it
A ratchet and clank film is supposed to make me super happy, but they fuck it up
>>333766026
3mb is the limit for webms only. Other files can be up to 4mb.
>>333767886
Ratchet was a huge asshole to Clank and Clank was not having any of it in the first game. From what I saw they are basically best buds immediately since Ratchet isn't a jaded prick.
It came across all "Golly gee Mr. Robot! Let's save the galaxy together cause we are best friends :)"
>>333767932
I'd have to go look for one, so I think I'll just use the twitter upload for now.
>>333768180
Yes, Ratchet is much more friendly to Clank in this one. But that's something they retconned pretty early on, in Going Commando still. LOTS of people hated the Ratchet's attitude towards Clank in the first game.
>>333768180
The dynamic i loved was that ratchet was sort of crude and clank was very proper
Now they are just 2 weenier boy scouts
>>333761809
Why is this remake still a platformer? 3D platformers are so early 2000s.
>2016
>Your R&C remake isn't a hack and slash adventure with RPG elements.
Fucking dropped.
>>333767961
Holy shit that looks awful.
As deadly a weapon as ever.
>>333763609
I always thought the first game had some dodgy art direction. The cities were great but the plantlife on planets were really oddly off-putting. Like the colours just didn't seem to go together or something. Especially on that factory planet where you first meet the janitor.
Conversely I thought the cities in 2 looks really off but they got the wildlife on planets looking better. That major city with the red, white and black colour scheme was just odd.

>>333768372
They kept their edge up until 3, Ratchet was still the same in Deadlocked, Clank too. You just saw/heard less of Clank. The funny part about the first game was seeing Ratchet and Clank chill their role as things progress. Ratchet was less of a dick and begrudged. Clank relaxed a bit and picked up on some of Ratchet's mannerisms and personality.
The PS3 games were just overall horrible.
I own a PS3 but had only tried the demo for Tools of Destruction. I was a huge fan but I was just disinterested by what I saw. A friend of mine had it and said it was great, trusting his opinion I asked him to lend it to me. It was a joyless shell of a game, with mediocre weapons and forgettable everything else. I guess he liked it because he never played the other games.
>>333768307
It wasn't retconned in Going Commando, it was character progression. Throughout the first game ratchet is at first kind of dismissive (but friendly enough) to Clank, after Qwark betrays then he goes full-on hate mode, and eventually realises what an ass he become and they make up and end the game as friends.
Going Commando just showed that they were still best friends a year later.
Everyone hated Ratchet in the first game specifically the middle third where he is a Grade-A asshole, but that development and overcoming his selfishness is a major part of the story and I'm worried the reboot will suffer for it.
I can't remember, did any other R&C have weapon skill trees or is this the first one? Also, weapon levels are still there, so this is parallel to that.
>>333768652
The code is also in day 1 physical copies, I think. I certainly didn't pre-order the game, but yeah, it sucks that they locked that one weapon.
>>333768964
The ratchet in the movie is going to have 0 character development
>>333766708
>Implying Crack in Time wasn't the best of the series.
>>333769036
More scenery shots please bro
>>333769036
>I can't remember, did any other R&C have weapon skill trees or is this the first one?
Tools of Destruction had something like that, I think, using raritanium.
>>333768835
Gold Bolts are in.
Skill Points are out but there's a new system called Holo-Deck where you unlock stuff.
Cheats and modifiers are also in.
>>333768964
Ratchet's personality towards others also changed in R&C 2 and 3, he's COMPLETELY different in the first one.
>>333769036
Tools and Nexus had Raritanium upgrade trees.
>>333769036
Skill Trees on weapons was introduced in Tools of Destruction, and then expanded on in Into the Nexus. It looks like the reboot has a very similar system to ITN.
>>333768836
>The PS3 games were just overall horrible.

>>333763609
It doesn't look bad at all. It doesn't look as good as, but it's not "bad". There's nothing "bad" about it.
>>333769263
In terms of look and atmosphere Metropolis and Pokitaru were easily the best, but going by actual level design I really liked Novalis and Orxon because they had 3-4 paths that looped back to the beginning. Hoven was also great.
>>333761809
How's the soundtrack OP?
>>333769479
You're not allowed to like the PS3 games, anon.
>>333769479
I agree with him.
CiT has too many gimmicky weapons like that shitty sphere that was controlled by tilting your controller and many of the weapon evolutions were uninspired, especially the rocket launcher and whatever the name of that ground-sawblade weapon was. Nevermind the fact most weapons were useless 90% of the time (lightning spikes) and at least half of them just didn't work properly on the moons.
>>333769117
Got you familia
>>333769934
what ps3 game is this?
>>333769642
>>333769263
Oltanis was great.
>>333769257
Read it again, I have played them all. Even fucking All4One. The only think I did not play was that MOBA/Tower Defense thing. Seemed ok, but a waste of time because no one would play it over CoD or SF etc.
>>333769905
You make it sound like it was any different in the original three games. The only R&C game with useful weapons all around is Deadlocked. The rest have a lot of fun and unique weapons that aren't effective per se, but just fun to mess around with.
Also, fuck everyone who dislikes ToD. It's a great entry in the R&C series just for introducing the groovitron alone.
>>333761809
Never got the stiffies over Jak. Ratchet and Clank was so much more fun.
>>333770182
Your post was just poorly worded, you make it sound like you only played ToD.
>>333769412
Those textures in CURRENT YEAR. It's not even 30fps. Yes, it is passable, but come on. The 8th gen blows.
>>333761986
I wouldn't see it otherwise but now I might. Physical copy is only $32 on Amazon Prime.
>>333769934
Yikes, that is not a flattering shot. Especially for a PS4 game.
>>333770289
>The PS3 games were just overall horrible.
How would I have that opinion if I didn't play them? Not everyone on /v/ is a mongoloid child. I don't blame you, I'll have to spell it out instead of imply it.
>>333769934
Thanks man
Last pic for now, sewers are back!
>>333769934
Smoke looks kinda bad desu.
I'm sure game is great though. The original was one of my favorite PS2 games.
>>333769905
All of the games had gimmicky weapons and useless shit. Remember the suck cannon and the fucking taunter that's only use was for getting the gold bolt on Veldin?

>>333770737
He's mentioned in the credits.
>>333770695
I couldn't beat it without it either, but I never tried. I felt incomplete if I beat the game without having every weapon.
Autism.
>>333770796
The new weapons are great.
>>333770737
I hope in their next trilogy/arc they encorporate PlumberGod as well as use the Great Clock to manage all of their retcons, and do some great metaphysical space shit.
>>333765281

Holy heck, just one more exclusive to go and I'll get a PS4.
>>333770796
>No suck cannon or any of the fun weapon from the original
You better be kidding, that's my favorite.
It actually looks really good. Keeps in line with the original art style and doesn't completely butcher them like Crash or Spyro.
I wish Crash or Spyro got a reboot on this caliber instead of skylanders and whatever that abomination Crash Bandicoot was called.
>>333770235
I think R&C2's weapon selection is the best one, gunfights never get old with it. Shame the remote controlled spiderbot never made a comeback or got redesigned, that was one of my favorites.The only two exceptions being Clank Zapper and that abysmal "upgrade" to the lava gun.
>>333770657
The suck cannon was amazing for killing small creatures that required more than one hits, like the pufferfish in Pokitaru.
The taunter stumps me though, I never could figure out the point of that "having trouble with enemies? consider buying the taunter!" that helpdesk tip that played in the middle of the blarg research facility.
>>333761809
I have just one question OP
Did they bring the trespasser back or not?
>>333761809
Didn't Conker do that?
Change details and make jokes about how it isn't a complete remake?
>>333771097
Yes

>>333770934
>tfw sold ps4 last year because overpriced netflix box with no games

Does it have the blitz gun or a variation of it?
>>333771095
you were supposed to use the taunter in conjunction with the bouncer to attract enemies to your mine
>>333771262
They were very honest about it in that post. They explained why they thought that. Can't blame them if the fan base doesn't care about 60 fps.
>>333771262
I hope this is fake. If not, it's garbage.
Been on PC too long. 30fps really is a glaring and noticeable thing now because I'm used to 60. I kind of wish I wasn't.
>>333770289
>>333770567
I also want to point out that Spyro/Crash/Jak/R&C and I guess Sly threads almost NEVER have shit posint.

R&C 2 is the best game in the series.
>>333771521
Its real.
>>333771507
What really bothers me is how they're admitting to lowering their standards for the sake of sales and reviews.
The fact that they went on to produce crap like Fuse and Sunset Overdrive is almost like them getting their comeuppance.
>>333771925
R&C 2 is the best one, but it has the worst final boss fight in the series.
>>333771971
They're just being practical. They have X amount of time to develop the game and the majority of fans, according to their surveys, would rather they spend that time working on graphics than on framerate.
>>333771971
That's too bad. The animation just pops at 60fps. I'd rather have smooth movement than resolution and graphics desu. Especially in a game like Ratchet.
>>333772124
>They're just being practical.
But was it worth it?
>>333772124
Agreed. Very disappointing, no challenge or strategy. Doesn't milk you of everything in one fight then when you lose kick your ass out with no money for ammo. I think a lot of the fights in R&C are kind of shit though. Entertaining but no skill required.
>>333772124
>would rather they spend that time working on graphics than on framerate.
This would hold water if their 30fps games actually looked better than ACiT, but FFA, A4O, and Nexus look much worse despite being 30fps.
>>333771925
1 and 3 are better m8
>>333771925
>Best
That's a funny way to spell "worst".
>>333772325
Well if you look at the screenshots in the this thread...no it was not worth it.
There is more shit on the screen but the shit only looks slightly better than the Future games. The ONLYYYYYY reason into the Nexus was not 30fps was because of time and money, but most important of all the fucking Cell. Yes Insomniac made a good number of games for the system, but it doesn't make working with the Cell any less tedious. Given how most people do not even know Into the Nexus exists, seems obvious what is going on. But with the move to a more PC like architecture, things are made exponentially easier. But yet they refuse to make it 60fps, I dunno. I blame the consoles overall, but Insomniac are culpable.
>>333772480
>R&C2
>worse than SAC
>worse than SM
>worse than fucking QfB
>worse than Nexus
Are you braindead, or did I just fall to the world's most obvious bait?
Tools of Destruction > Going Commando > Deadlocked = Quest for Booty = A Crack in Time > Up Your Arsenal > R&C1
>30FPS
yeah fuck that shit I'm waiting for the PS5 remaster
>>333772738
It is worse than all of those, except for SAC which is a spinoff. QfB and Nexus aren't bad just because they're short.
>>333761809
>How did the mad men from Insomniac do it? How do they make it look this fucking good?
It's just the power of the PS4
I wish they would add an option to make it look worse but run better.

Tools of Destruction is the only one I've played.
I thought it was alright but nothing special.
>>333773235
1 was the coziest though. Simple platforming with guns. The others were great, but they were a lot more complicated.

And that fucking meme weapon Mr. Zurkon got shoehorned in even though GrummelNet doesn't even exist in that galaxy?
FUCKING BULLSHIT

Tools was fine. It's not the best in the series, but it isn't bad.

The guy who started this thread needs to play more of the game. He's in the first hour.
I've beat the game (In 5 hours and 20 minutes.) and I'm disappointed as a classic Ratchet and Clank fan.
Ask me whatever.
>>333773331
there's nothing comfy about spending half the game aiming your shots because strafe was unlocked halfway through the game and was so clunky most people don't even bother with it
>>333773384
Yeah, after playing the original trilogy at 60FPS, there's no way that the new game is going to feel any good. Enjoy playing a shitty game
>>333772459
3 is the wackiest and has the crazy guns and characters. It has online as well. It is lots of fun, but the story becomes tedious. The customization was really cool as well.
1 has the best platforming and the novelty of being an introduction to the world. The crassness of the game is also a great thing.
2 has the most interesting story due to pacing and prose creating a good narrative. Has the right amount of gimmicks without overindulging to the point where the core game starts to take a backseat. It is an adventure that doesn't need to tell you how big the stakes are constantly, nor does it tell you how hard things are. It just kicks your ass and lets gameplay inform the story and narrative. The story is not one of constant MacGuffin chasing that seem to drastically deviate and complicate the plot for confusing reasons.
2 has the original and less absurd weapon upgrades. That is not necessarily better. If one were to pick a game to represent the series it would most likely be 3. This is due to it living up to the "crazy" guns that are less about being absurd in concept and more about absurd in terms of how they upgrade and the damage they deal. The ramped up difficulty near the end is both welcome but transparent. It requires more strategy but still has the player using the same weapons to cheese the difficulty. The game is the easiest to play while showcasing what made the series great front and center. That is a subjective thing when it comes to taste. 3 being a highlight reel or 2 being a singular and focused story with a slow build.
I was shocked when I first played 3. The number of strange and new weapons and the rate at which you acquire them is definitely expedited. This may again being a means to showcase the game to new players and provide more to do earlier.
>>333773713
There's no succ?
What levels removed?
>>333773168
The chosen one destiny shit is just fucking gross. The future games were awful in gameplay and story.
Haven't played these games in a while. Should I get the R&C collection for PS3? Or just emulate?
>>333774169
Get the HD collection. The games have missing textures n PCSX2 and run like shit.
>>333773713
Give us some actual opinions, your concurrences.
>>333773943
>the new game is at 30 fps so is not going to feel any good
>>333774169
Just emulate. The HD collection is buggy as shit.
Although not necessarily always in a bad way.
>that glitch that renders you invisible and invincible in R&C2's godforsaken snow yeti planet
>>333774169
Two problems with the HD collection.
1. No Deadlocked
2. Reflective objects and textures do not work due to engine translation issues.

Resistance 4 fucking when!?
It must have a recreation of Bus Yard from Resistance 1, best map.
Its the color.
They aren't doing anything different technically, the textures are low quality, the aliasing is everywhere, no tessellation, it's just the amount of color in the game.
Anyone have that picture of last of us vs a bunch of other post apocalyptic games? Basically it shows how big of an impact color makes on graphics. It shows that the last of us actually has color whilst all other games (gears, fallout, order 1866, etc) are all grey and brown, making everything look washed out and muddy.
>>333774621
>30 fps? Ugh that will be a shitty experience
>>333774776
>maybe if I keep repeating myself over and over I'll show him!
>>333765586
I played Thieves in Time.
It wasn't really that great, imo. It felt like an extension of earlier games (a lot of the core stuff was there) but it seemed like they were afraid to take any risks with it. The final boss was really weak and ended on a cliffhanger. It was decent but not nearly as satisfying as the previous games in the series.
>>333770235
>Also, fuck everyone who dislikes ToD
ToD is actually my personal favorite, just because it pushed the whole "upgrade your weapons" more than any other game.
>>333761809

Is this what murrika has turned into? Being afraid of doing something you like just because the law might think you're doing something wrong?
Land of the free indeed.
I like Ratchet and Clank.
>>333774169
Why not try emulating first, then get collection if you can't get it to work?

>>333775003
Deadlocked, this and Nexus having more upgrades were the best.
What do people think of constructo?
>>333774305
The one sentence review is: The game is inconsistent.
It has sections of classic Ratchet and Clank action and platforming that feel great. The weapons are varied and you have quite a few fairly fast, but the game is tiny.
It gives the illusion of lots of planets with lots to do, lots of characters to meet, lots of things to find, but beyond one "optiona"l objective per planet, and the golden bolts to unlock cheats, there is very little to do in each area. The longest I spent on one planet was 35 minutes, where I had to kill hundreds of the same enemy to farm an item to unlock a better wrench (1 of three).
The story skips forward at a bad pace. It skips over any character development with ther different characters. Ratchet and Clank have no reasons to even be friends except that they happened to run into each other. The game is obviously a movie tie in, which is fine, but I can tell entire scenes of character dialogue and plot are just cut. It seems like they just assume you've seen the movie, even though the game is coming out first. It's awkward.
post best planet

>>333775203
Lots of characters I remember from childhood games return. The Plumber, Skids Mcmarx, Dr. Nefarious, etc. However, they all are in the game for 5 minutes or less. A lot of the games different plots/subplots are kinda crammed into the reboot in one way or the other, which makes sense.
Ratchet and Clank themselves have great models, but a lot of the other characters look awful. It's weird. PS2 era mouth moving dialogue sometimes.
Overall... I liked the game for what it was. The humor is decent and familiar, the voice work is okay, the worlds looks pretty good (even though theres some serious downgrade on the lighting and textures). The guns are good, but their upgrade system is shallow, which sucks.
>>333775429
What do you want a picture of? I was just too lazy to go get in game captures.
>>333775203
>Ratchet and Clank have no reasons to even be friends except that they happened to run into each other.
Maybe I'm crazy, but didn't the first game kinda have this issue too? Aside from a scene here or there, they didn't really delve into Ratchet and Clank's relationship until the Future games.
>>333773946
>story becomes tedious in 3
That is the game that tells Qwark's backstory, expands his charater, and introduces Dr. Nefarious.
>>333775951
You're right, it kinda did from what I remember. The difference is in this game they keep saying things like " Great work old pal!" or "We can do it best friend!"
>>333775951
Ratchet was an ass to Clank until he shoots down Qwark and does a complete 180.
>>333776124
Ratchet only starts becoming an ass to Clank when he pushes Ratchet into Quark's trap with the Snagglebeast on his base.
Wow, did they go open world with this?
>>333775951
It's been a while, but for the first 3~ planets wasn't Clank just following Rachet around trying to get him to help, and Rachet shooting him down assholishly each time?
>>333775203
Whats the list of planets?
>>333775023
You clearly dont have children. Imagine you went with your daughter to see a nice film and then you saw some lonely sad dude on his own stuffing his gullet with his popcorn filled fingers. It would make your child uncomfortable and you would constantly be on edge in case he shot up the place.
>>333775951
the first game was pretty focused on their relationship
>>333761809
I got the chance to test this game and I'd agree that : It looks good, it's pretty funny, and it seems fun if you're into platforming/action combo.
However, you are obviously a dick-sucking shill and should fuck off and die.

I haven't played any of the games since Up Your Arsenal, is this a good way to come back to the series, OP?
>>333771262
Oh wow, what a shame.
Literally the only reason I remember this game and game series is because it was one of the few games on ps3 running at 60fps

SUBTEXT
Ratchet is a jaded prick who wants to be a hero and is a tinkerer. Clank shows up and Ratchet goes to get him. Clank is looking for a hero, specifically Quark. Ratchet says he can help, he can be the hero or at least transportation. Ratchet keeps getting in over his head and his patience with Clank is getting thin. Clank likewise is getting sick of Ratchets pushy demeanor. When they find out Quark has been corrupted and is not really a hero, they decide to be the heroes. They still bicker and laugh at each others expense but they slowly becomes friends, like real people. They don't need a trailer saying "AMAZING FRIENDS". The game shows it.
The Future games are ass in the way the Star Wars prequels are ass. They create context for things that didn't need context. MGS4 is similar in this regard.
There is an integrity of writing by which you create such a concise idea of your world and your story so that people can fill in the blanks with their imagination, which empowers them. While the person consuming the media is doing this, the nature of what they create in their own mind is influenced heavily by the artist, leading them to a conclusion with diverging prose but restrained conceptualization due to the rules and knowledge they posses.

We all know each MGS game was always supposed to be "the last one". Snake Eater would have been a great way to send off the series. This is in part due to the quality of the gameplay and the surface level story and transparent context that creates an experience many people can enjoy regardless of their intelligence or imagination. The end of the game leaves us with Big Boss saluting his mentor, crying. Over this scene is Eva talking about the legacy of The Boss and what her sacrifice was all about. That she killed herself to save the world in the most basic terms. Even in doing that history will never remember her due to the SCENE in which the events unfolded. After sharing the experience with Snake you now understand his decent into evil. Because you were there, the implication is this event pushed him and you infer what happens next. This up until his initial appearance in Metal Gear. He being constantly labeled a villain, but because of the message in MGS3 it creates someone who isn't just a black hat.
There are thing that do not need to be said or explained because they are shown.
>>333777065
None of that is in this game though.

It's the best Sly game easily, with one tiny caveat that sucks, but I can't tell you what it is because it's a spoiler.
Certainly nothing that makes the game less than great though. It's really fun and you should play it if you liked the other Sly games at all.

New areas could be added to existing planets.
This will be the first single player game in ages that I'm going to buy, brand new at full price.
I really want platformers to make a comeback, by which I mean good, 3D platformers, not the shitty 2D "3DEEP5YOU" indie ones. I miss them.
