Will it be as good as the original or future series?
The fact that there aren't even any reviews yet leads me to believe that it most likely will not.
>>333795034
There are reviews

It is better than both.
This and probably Final Fantasy XV I guess are why I got a PS4.
>>333795034
I give it an easy 9/10.

>Quark is competent before 3
>Skid Mcmarx was trampled to look like actual skid marks
>No emotion in any of the small cutscenes
>Dr Zurkon
I mean, I preodered already, but I'm not expecting much after shit Into The designated Nexus
>>333795034
There's an embargo.
I'm kind of hyped for it, also pretty nice that it will only be $40 on launch.
I hope we get a whole new Ratchet and Clank series from this.
>>333796013
There's a reason for the embargo.
>>333796065
That's gotta depend on how well the movie and the game do I would think. The whole thing reeks of 'budget' on Sony's part. I would definitely like to see how the reboot does, and how it'd affect later plot stuff. I'd like to see full robot Nefarious, Angela, Tachyon, etc reimagined in the new context.
>>333796302
>budget
If the anon from last thread who told me how the card system works is here, do you know if the mega/ultra weapon upgrades are back? I'm still not quite sure if this card system replaces the idea for those NG+ upgrades.
Also, if any anon could answer this for me, how long is the game, exactly? Long as the last one or shorter? Is it for the better?
>>333795180
He called the Uncharted collection lackluster? C'mon now. Even if you don't like the games, they all run at 60fps while the first game received massive upgrades from it's technically flawed PS3 version .
Will they be adding any multiplayer to this?
I think Ratchet and Clank co-op could be kind of fun.
>>333796631
There's a Challenge Mode, so Omega weapons are definitely in.
Is there a full planet list yet?
>>333796013
Embargo's this close to release usually spell bad news.
Dark Souls 3 releases the same day, and that's already gotten plenty of reviews.

Damn shame, was a great planet in the original.
>>333797982
Wait a minute, you're telling me planets were cut? Do they have any intentions on extending the planets in the remake that they do have available? The first R&C game was already really short so that'll be a damn shame if that many planets are cut.
>>333798848
Some planets are extended.
>Original game runs at 60fps
>Remake runs at 30fps
It's already confirmed to be vastly inferior.
No idea there was a new one, thought this was about the movie?
I hope it's as good as crack in time. I really liked the side content like collecting the zoni on the rolling planets, the clank puzzles that actually were real puzzles and the galaxy space radio
i really really want this to be good
30fps is worrying though
>The classic thruster Pack returns
FUCK YES
>>333796631
I personally stopped playing the ratchet and clanks after the fifth as they started to become absolutely atrocious but even in the original if you collected enough golden bolts (Cant remember) you can get golden weapons on the second level in NG+. There will be upgrades to weapons. Honestly I just hope they don't ADD any weapons that aren't in the original and I can't wait to get RYNO back
>>333799539
Doesn't matter one little bit unless it continuously drops like crazy.
>>333801204
>mfw discovering you can get golden weapons even on the first playthrough
>>333801204
Fifth Ratchet game is Size Matters I think and that's my Imsomniac but rather that off-shoot company with ex-ND and ex-Imsomniac people.
Besides that the mainlines have been fine.
Reminder of no Arena, no Skill Points, no Armor
>>333801776
wait what
no skill points?
no armor upgrades i can live with i guess
they really should include an arena tho
omg now im really worried
>>333795898
>Quark is competent before 3
I imagine that Qwark's deal is less being a GOOD hero and more being an iconic hero in the limelight.
So instead of trying to off ratchet for trying to stop drek, he's trying to off ratchet for trying to be the hero.
In his words, "There's only room for one hero"
>>333800215
I'm trying to understand the point of it functionally since strafing is internalized, unless it's being used for something entirely like Nexus making it a jetpack.
>>333802212
I'm guessing Levitator.
You know, Ratchet games should be really be expanded. They've fallen behind and don't feel that fun anymore.
Why not give reasons for backtracking, such as the ability to purchase upgrades for the backwater planet of Veldin to add new areas, better aesthetics and such. Things like that where you can change the way the game plays instead of just running through static levels.
>>333802212
It activates special thruster switches (rather than spinning with your wrench alone, you activate the thrusters and spin at high speeds) to open new areas. the Thruster Pack itself seems to be optional so it's mostly to unlock gold bots and cards.
You also get the classic forward dash the thruster pack gives that the heli couldn't, as well as function kinda like the Charge Boots.some guy is streaming the game on twitch and he is near end game. Not gonna link it however to avoid any chance of getting stopped so search it yourselves.
>>333802598
>You also get the classic forward dash the thruster pack gives that the heli couldn't
That was always a bit more of a liability than helpful because the thruster pack's running jump is a lunge forward at a low altitude while the helipack's has quite a bit of height.
>>333801204
They have some weapons from other titles in the franchise and some new ones as well.
>>333797982
>Gemlik Base
Fuck, that was my favourite map
Chairman Drek's voice isn't that great in this game. I miss his old VA.
>>333801776
>no armour
Based, less stupid boltsinks and more tightly-balanced levels like in Ratchet 1
>no skill points
Pretty bad. Cuts down on post-game time: but this isn't a game i'm playing in 2001 where I can only get one every few weeks. I wouldn't go for them anyway.
>No Arena
Seems weird as fuck for them; the designers had seemingly latched onto the concept and stuffed them into every single game in the series. Still, i'm not too sad about it, means that the bolt economy will be balanced without assuming you've torn shit up in the filler arena to get your new toys
>>333803340
Hoverboard Races are basically the arena stand-ins. They have multiple cups now.
>>333803340
No skill points seemed bad at first, but the new holo deck system more than makes up for it. Collectible cards and booster packs that can randomly drop in game or be found in secret areas.
>>333803524
Fuck. I'll hold off to see if they're fun before I judge, but off the top of my head that sounds pretty stupid
>>333803589
If they made it control like Wipeout than it would be a good replacement
>>333796150
>>333797438
Yeah, late embargo dates generally mean bad, but not always. I have a feeling it's to remind people of this existing and inform those that had no idea like >>333799153 it does. The other marketing seems to have gotten caught up in promoting the movie and not the game so much, so making sure plenty of people are talking about the game specifically sounds like a decent sales move.
new ratchet and clank is open world or linear cinematic experience?
>>333804004
Linear, like all previous main R&C games.
>>333804004
You know nothing about R&C do you?
>>333804004
neither
>>333795425
>>333795741
muh dick
I'm so ready. I have this and DS3 on preorder but DS3 can wait indefinitely.
I impulse pre-ordered it because I want to support Ratchet & Clank and 3D platformers being good again.
I also wanna get hyped for the movie.
Here's to hoping I don't regret my purchase.
>>333804126
Ratchet is pretty linear cinematic experience, even the classic games were just fancy corridors with the occasional fancy secret hidden behind camera angles or an alternate path
The only exception is the occasional battlefield level like in Nexus or RC3. They tried turning those into a full game in Gladiator/Deadlocked, but it didn't work and they had to retrofit the giant levels into these tiny, shitty linear levels
>>333804283
There would have to be major fuck ups for this to be shit.
Old Drek VA vs. New Drek VA
>Mike and Tony worked on it
>>333804283
Considering it's 40 bucks, I would be okay with it being more of a HD remaster of the first game than a true remake, but that's just me.
Because HD remasters of last gen titles are kinda just cheap cash-ins, but anything older can definitely really use it.
>mfw I know a guy that ACTUALLY pre-ordered this
>>333804498
It isn't a remaster.
>>333803685
>Extreme rubberbanding
pls no
>>333804473
They did? I thought they were out of Insomniac since the Future series and making Skylanders games now. (Or at least one of them)
>>333797982
As long as they didn't get rid of Pokitaru and Kalebo III I'm happy

>>333795425
This picture makes me so happy. Like fuck, this is how videogames SHOULD progress.
>>333806958
Suck Cannon was a novelty weapon. Tesla Claw on the other hand should've come back.I was infuriated when I discovered it was fucking nerfed in R&C 2 and was redundant until NG+
>>333803327
Drek is inferior to Nefarious anyhow.
>>333806958
Tbh I bet it's because it'd be hard to figure out any "max lvl upgrades for them"
>>333807209
It was pretty shit because it didn't have any real upgrading to it, just like the rest of R&C weapons more or less.

>>333807257
Suck cannon had an overhauled production model in RC3 that worked perfectly fine. remember that the original was a prototype
>>333799539
I give zero shits as long as it's stable.
>>333807209
If you do a low item run you have to ham it out with the suck cannon against Drek. I used it a lot to save bolts too. Tesla on the other hand is pretty overrated, I found Pyrociter to be more useful in close range situations.

Ratchet and Drake?
Kratos is getting another game and Sly isn't dead yet.
>>333808519
>kratos is getting another game
why?
is it going to be Kratos as a fetus killing the god who wronged him?
>>333795425
>>333795741
Man i renember when i was 13 and bought with my saving a PS2 that came with Rachet and Clank.
It blew my fucking mind for some reason at that age, if i showed this pictures to my younger self, my mind wouldn't not have processed this.
I am so fucking hyped now
>>333808591
We don't know if it's the same Kratos or some alternate universe version of him yet. All we have so far is some concept art, they could switch him out for a new character or cancel the entire thing at this point still.
>>333808421
who is the spiky lizard by the dreamcast?where are Ty and Scaler?
>>333808682
Well no shit, That game looked really good for the time. In 10 or 20 years we'll be saying the same thing about Ratchet 2016
