Dude, as a long time ratchet fan the first game has aged like milk. You can't even strafe properly. Its just agro as few enemies as you can then stand there and blast them. The mechanics are so stiff.

I don't own a ps4 so I can't comment on this but don't act like 1 has aged well. I replayed that shit last year.

12 planets (original had 18).

Veldin, Gaspar, and Quartu are the only levels that are completely overhauled. The rest are virtually 1:1 with the originals in terms of level design. Clank's segments are also reworked to be more puzzle oriented, like in ACiT. There's only one completely new area: the Deplanetizer.

>>334225886
no hes not. With some very minor differences and I mean very minor, the levels which are 1:1 are literally 1:1. You will instantly remember where everything is when you see it, that includes the locations of collectables like Gold Bolts.

Prob going to start up a challenge mode run soon.

It's not my favorite R&C game by any means but it's still pretty fun and doesn't deserve as much hate as it's getting on here. I can forgive them dropping 60 frames because of how gorgeous this game is for being on a console

It's the Ratchet cycle at work.

First game of the trilogy is fun but flawed.
Second game is a huge improvement and highly innovative.
Third game is great but not quite as innovative.

This ignores Quest for Booty because it's not really substantial enough to be a main entry.

Original Ratchet was a passive aggressive asshole who used Clank to get what he wanted. He really only began to care late into the game, and after his planet was targeted. Then he became a hero.

This was not done very well or highlighted in the original game. That is something they REALLY should have put some effort into. Not make him starry-eyed fag boy-scout.

It was a fine game, but for a Ratchet and Clank game, it left a lot to be desired. I did like the Quark fight, though. The fact that he uses a Groovitron on you was neat, as were the enemy Mr. Zurkon and Mrs. Zurkon boss.

My favorites were metroplois, pokataru, and blackwater city. Those looked great. Just seemed a bit empty if you look at them for too long. :/

And they remade that raining warzone level. Just an ice planet with snow and no troopers. That disappointed me.

>The game started out with a much more stylized and campy direction. We were actually going for something on the level of Ratchet & Clank, except with humans,” ... “Maybe it was going to appeal to gamers who, we thought at the time, might be in their late teens. The industry’s changed quite a bit… We would focus test the game in front of a lot of gamers, and get their opinion. These are people that regularly play PlayStation 3 and Xbox games. We started to discover that everyone thought this was a game for their younger brother. We would hear this from 12-year-olds. So we decided that we needed to make a game that had an older appeal.

Haven't played since I was a kid but I specifically remember getting stuck late in the game because of two beefy red robot dudes. Never did finish it but beat every other R&C that came after because they were just better overall. Did they add strafing in Going Commando? I honestly can't remember.

Yes, strafing was added in GC. The first game is better if you don't play it like a shooter. Pplay it like an action platformer. Most weapons aren't meant to be used while strafing, and the wrench is very viable. I can't see how people have so much trouble with this game unless they just try to run through like it's a COD game.

Well damn. Did Insomniac say they were done with R&C before all this movie stuff? I remember them saying they were taking a break after Into the Nexus but I figured that was over with this entry. That sucks. The reboot is fun and super pretty looking but just feels shallow, glad I only paid $40 for it.

Would love a full entry with these graphics and a shit ton more weapons. Would be fun as fuck.

Well fuck me then. Granted 3 years isn't really much of a break. Even Ubisoft said they were taking a break from Prince of Persia and the last one was in 2010 with no new one in sight, not even a hint; yet another quality game series I'd like to see return in full force.

Alright, /v/. You're in charge of the next game's arsenal but the deal is you can only use weapons from previous games.

Pick one (and only one) weapon from the following categories:

>Blaster
>Shotgun
>Sniper Rifle
>Flamethrower
>Rocket Launcher
>Grenade Launcher
>Melee
>Animal
>Superweapon

and any other categories I might've forgotten. We'll take care of the rest.

Most of the stuff is tolerable in the game, the gameplay is far better than the original by a long shot.

But I hate how Ratchet lost his snarkiness
and I'm not talking about dick head Ratchet in the first game. I'm talking about how even in 2 and 3 he was always somehwat sarcastic and snarky, with a little cockiness. In this game he's terribly generic and boring as fuck, also Clank isn't fleshed out enough and need more quirkiness and characterization instead of being "Smart robot saying nothing interesting"

I hate the Galactic rangers thing too, this game should have just been two bros fighting Nefarious and Drek, I don't care about any of the characters because they're all uninteresting and add nothing.

At least Qwark is an asshole and I somewhat like his arch of turning against Ratchet.

That's what I expeted from modern Insomniac anyways.

They've had Ratchet & Clank down to a precise formula for fucking years now. It's a shame that it's become such a by the book series. A Crack in Time is the only PS3 game that tried something new.

>>
>>334244512
>It's a shame that it's become such a by the book series. A Crack in Time is the only PS3 game that tried something new.
Well, let's look at things

Tools of Destruction, the first PS3 game. It's bigger, it's prettier, there are a few standout additions but it's nothing spectacular. As a newgen introduction, it's fine.

Quest for Booty is a whole (mini) game without Clank, so they modify Ratchet's control and capability to account for that.

ACiT blows the series out of the fucking water and basically reinvents the wheel

Into the Nexus introduces a couple totally new weapons, adds the jetpack mechanic (fucking B A S E D)

And then A4O and FFA, which though I haven't played them myself, I understand to be very different beasts from the main series.

And R&C PS4, which as a remake I can't really fault for not bringing anything new or unique to itself.

To be honest I don't see where it's by the books. R&C is always adding something, anything, that makes it stand out as unique.

This would be the first game that I might consider "by the books." But, again, it's a remake. There's only so much they can do.
>>
Why have buzz blades and the predator launcher when they could had the tesla claw or the walloper?

How is this bad? Ratchet was a loner, sometimes with a dick attitude. But Clank is naive despite being smart and later the timesaver robot of the universe. The progression of their friendship made sense. And if you need to blame someone its Qwark since he was the one to manipulate R&C while working for the bad guy.

>>334244830

>it has a new weapon so it isn't buy the book

Are you serious? The PS3 games are pretty fucking derivative.

I remember playing ToD on release and thinking it's just a rip off of 2 and 3 with some prettier graphics. Nothing about that game stood out, it was the safest most uncreative R&C game I've ever played.

Even though QfB didn't have clank it still felt incredibly derivative as well, though It's been so long since I last played it.
>>
>>334245272
Yeah but it would upgrade like the pyrocitor and glove of doom so it would probably be stronger than the wrench
>>
>>334239745

>>334245463
Wrench has so much more utility to it so it wouldn't matter.

Even the whip in 3 wasn't great before it was fully upgraded (or if your intent was exploitation).

Anyone else just utterly disappointed by the music? I mean it's good and well orchestrated but it's got way too much going on and just sounds like shit when theres 50 instruments playing and with gun fire and voices you cant hear shit.

Simple catchy tunes of the earlier series were always the best.
