Congratulations Ratchet
I hope this doesn't mean a yearly Ratchet game like the PS4 game. It was fun but was lacking in the attention to detail and polish that the mainline series had.
>>335936519
I doubt it would be yearly.
But it should be enough to keep Insomniac and Sony interested in making them.
>>335936519
I doubt it would be yearly. I imagine they would release each game to coincide with each movie, if the movies do well, so that would be like 1 every 2 years, maybe a tad less
>>335936519
Insomniac is beyond too based to make it a yearly affair, at best we'd get a main game then a mobile or niche spinoff soon after.
>>335936039
fuck i really wanna buy a ratchet title now. this series was so much fun
>>335936519
It's not like Insomniac used to only make annual release games that were all really good, I don't think there'd be too much of a problem with that.
>>335936519
>>335937080
>>335937412
Are you faggots forgetting that the best games in the series were released annually? 1-3 were released each fall.
whats the game like? does it feel like a sequel can i still buy badass armour and upgrades or is it something like a revamp of R&C 1
>>335939201
I was talking more about corresponding with the movie release times. It's called marketing your product.
I was thinking more what may work better for Insomniac should do if the movies are popular
>>335939691
No armor to buy in this one.
It doesn't feel like a sequel, more of a Ratchet returning to what he does best after a couple of bad spinoffs.
It's not my favorite Ratchet, but I'm glad I played it.
>>335939201
I get that it's a bit of a double standard but yearly releases then and now have changed extremely, particularly since they're all fairly interconnected compared to something like assassin's creed where they don't seem to progress much in current events between games.
>>335940045
I get what you mean. With the focus on graphics now smaller games like R&C don't need to be yearly.
Hell, they had THREE years to make this new one and there are still recycled assets out the ass. Even the Starship Phoenix interior was taken from Full Frontal Assault.
i'd rather they just re-release the PS2 versions as they were on the psn
Sony was smart and priced it 30€. Meanwhile Star Fox is double the price and flopped hard..
>>335936039
Okay no one answered me in the last thread so I'll ask here. Got this game yesterday and I realized that the cutscenes are 1:1 to the movie trailer I saw. Is the movie a condensed version of the games cutscenes or does it do something different?
>>335936039
>Fastest-selling
Games today usually move most of their copies in the launch window, it's becoming more and more concentrated in those first couple months. Games like Witcher, Bioshock, TLOU, etc. move most of their copies right away then stop selling almost entirely.
Good for the game, but this doesn't mean much when compared to the other entries, it might have sold faster but if the other games sold for a longer period of time this one could still easily sell fewer copies than many of the other entires in the series.
>>335941963
Not sure but the movie is apparently pretty bad.
When you have a console with no games it's no shock.
These idiots buy remasters in droves.
>>335941854
>Million seller by the end of the year
Nintendo games don't flop, they design and budget them so it just doesn't happen. They could sell a few hundred thousand copies at will likely at least break even, Nintendo doesn't spend $80+ million on their games.
>>335937080
The critics have been tearing the movie apart, not sure how it's doing at the box office
>>335942212
I'm willing to bet my reddit account that you don't actually play video games
>>335942212
NO GAEMS XD!!!!!!!!!!
LOOK /R/PCMASTERRACE I DID IT AGAIN HAHA!!
>>335942212
>no games meme
I want tumblr to leave
>>335942212
It's not a remaster.
Is this game good for someone that never played any game in the series?
>>335943157
Yes
>>335942949
>>335942842
Oh so now you have TWO (2) games and think your hot shit huh. Big deal, pc has far better games then Blunderboore and furshit the game.
Sonyggers are the worst
>Mfw Ratchet and Clank are back on top and partying like it's 2004
>Mfw Jak and Sly Cooper are as dead as Reagan
>>335942021
TLOU sold 1.3 million at launch and then went on to sell 10 million; TW3 wasn't much different.
Stop pretending you have any idea what you're talking about.
>>335943157
It's perfect for someone like that. $40, roughly 10 hours so it's just long enough to be satisfying but make you want more, an origin story to acclimate you to the universe, and just simplified enough to not be overwhelming like Crack in Time kind of was.
>>335944101
>mfw the movie was bad and the game was severely dumbed-down
>>335943157
It's exactly who this game was made for. It was my first Ratchet game and I can't remember the last time I was so infatuated with a game.
Why can't I kill anything with this shit?
>>335943605
>PCucks have to come shit up a thread
Don't you have a petition to be signing?
>>335944891
Because its weak and runs out of ammo too fast
>>335944832
First game, huh? If you're interested in the others, they have an HD remaster of the PS2 titles. You could probably skip the original but Up Your Arsenal is my favorite of the series, so you might wanna check it out.
>>335944891
Take it from me, all weapons justify their existence when you level them up and upgrade them. There were only like 4 weapons that weren't initially shit, but since I decided I wanted to get all the Omega variants in the challenge mode so I had to use weapons I had initially written off.
>>335943605
>>335945147
I ditched my PS3 a while ago so I can't play the remasters...
I tried emulating them but they don't emulate well at all. Performance wasn't so much an issue as it was the graphical glitches.
>>335944714
It's a good thing the movie wasn't that good, that way Insomniac doesn't have to rush a game just to fit a movie
>>335945365
>>335944101
>Sly cooper has a mildy decent Revivial
>Teaser stinger hints at best Ancestor first in the next game
>Still no announcement from Sanzaru or Sucker Punch.
>Sucker Puch might be working on a Spiderkino Game soon further putting the series in question.
>Jak and Daxter- Missing in Action Since: 2005 not counting the Ready-at-Dawn games
>>335945745
Actually, Sony hasn't actually greenlit a Sly film yet, that depends on whether or not the R&C film is a success
>>335946098
Well it won't be, but the game is sure as hell a success.
>>335936039
The game is good, it's just a shame the movie is painfully mediocre.
>>335946098
Oh I wasn't talking about the moives, that was about just the series a a whole since Thieves in Time.
Real talk here, I actually prefer the new game, at least mechanically to the original. The new one feels more fast paced and dynamic, which is helped by the fact that you have more than 5 health and a more interesting variety of weapons.Activision should just sell Spyro back to Sony, with the condition that Activision gets to keep Skylanders anyway. It's not like it has anything to do with Spyro anymore anyway.I'd even let them keep Crash, because Naughty Dog would fuck it up at this point.
>>335942212
this
This just proves sony should have NEVER left their own in house games that were specifically made to compete with Nintendo. this BTFO's the people that thought those kind of games were dead and people only wanted rated M for mature, for tru gaymers.
They went to weebshit, shovelware, and followed M$'s policies. This is a one off.
Too little, too late, fags.
>>335936039
Those statistics are made of lies.
>>335947048
Except for all the sequel baiting
With this, Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4 and Agent is Microsoft dead?
>>335936039
>fastest-selling
How even?
Isn't it one of the shittiest in the series?
>>335942225
>but they're sitting on money
>they never lose
>>335947961
Not really, is a good game at worst, great at best.
>insomniac is going to spend all their time making indieshit and VR trash instead of more ratchet
>>335936039
The movie is getting bad reviews, so unless the movie draws a lot of customers this will simply mean that they make a proper R&C game with some extra marketing (which is probably why this game sold well, since the other games barely had any marketing).
>R&C thread
Oh well, might as well post:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB0e5a6UXQ4
>fast selling
Isn't R&C the textbook franchise of getting rehashed to death by Sony?
As in they released 4-5 games for both the PS2 and PS3? It was some absurd number
>>335939201
>Are you faggots forgetting that the best games in the series were released annually? 1-3 were released each fall.
Except 2 is not amongst the best, it suffered because it was released so closely to the other games. Hence why we got poor balance, padding in the form of those shitty crystal hunt quests, dogshit bossfights, etc.
3, that arena one and Crack in Time are the best R&C games.
>>335936039
I'm happy that the game is doing well. Can't say the same thing about the movie.
We can say goodbye to the Sly Cooper movie and alongside it a chance to continue the story from Thieves in Time.
>>335948585
>dogshit bossfights,
But the only really bad one was the giant robot one.
>>335948581
4 for PS2
2 for PS3, 2 smaller dlc games and some shitty spinoffs (apart from q-force).
>>335948754
>But the only really bad one was the giant robot one.
You telling me the furball was a good bossfight? It's amongst the shittiest in the series.
>>335945745
I'd love to see a new Jak & Daxter game, but Naughty Dog are now the Uncharted and Last of Us guys.
>>335948872
I never said it was good either.
I just don't care for GC's bosses I find all of them tedious. But the robot was the worst of the bunch. At least with the giant furball I can just shoot at it till it dies with the robot I have to find those retarded turrets.
>>335949131
I really do not care who makes the next game, AS LONG AS the developers are skilled and have imagination (unlike High Impact).Taking out the long jump would you, motherfuckers?!?
>>335949131
I miss Jak and Daxter, this was a good series. I liked the friendly rivalry between both games as well
>>335942760
Eh, I'm gonna go see it. R&C was a huge part of my childhood and teen years. Even if it's shit, I'll probably get some nostalgic value out of it
Every time insomniac has released a non-sony-exclusive game, it has been shit or sold like shit. Why do they keep teaming up with microsoft/ea/oculus? it's like Ted Price hates sony but he knows that insomniac needs them.
>>335949346
Because they want to make something other than R&C. They wanted more freedom.
What happend instead is that they got fucked.
>>335948532
Whoa I didn't even know R&C YTPs even existed lmao
>>335949346
EA fucked them in the ass so badly, it's just sad.
>>335949557
This is the 3rd collab, there were 2 before it.
And this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-V2AYfxKGw
>>335949982
oh alright, I'll watch the other 2 then
>>335950203
Beware though, the first one was done in 2008, and contains old-school editing in lovely 240p.
And robot guy robots.
>>335949328
Insomniac and Naughty Dog used to be best developer buddies. Lots of references to each others games in almost all of their titles.
>>335949520
Sony has released "games" like Heavy Rain, games that probably nobody else would have greenlit. Sony even let their studios create new IPs instead of locking them on a single IP like MS does with 343 for example.
So no, sony would have let insomniac to do whatever they wanted to.
>>335946519
Your opinion was valid until you said to let them keep crash. You know they'll butcher him up like they did spyro
>>335950641
He's not saying they won't butcher him, he's just saying he doesn't like the idea of Naughty Dog getting him back.
I can't blame him really, considering they have matured past putting fat Drake in the game.
>>335939741
thats assuming "if" we get more Ratchet and Clank movies
>>335936039
>the movie flopped hard so overall the project was a loss anyway
you can always depend on sony to fuck up somehow
>>335950947
>I can't blame him really, considering they have matured past putting fat Drake in the game.
>"We've "Matured" past making game with a animal character" That was in the past"
>>335950947
I still would enjoy them doing Jak and Daxter again. its surprising that they still enjoy talking about the characters, given this apparent turn to be taken seriously with big AAA games.
We did it sonybros
Is it any good? I loved dead locked
>>335951046
really the alternative is either not bother with other games or release them on PS4 anyway because of the popularity of the first game. As for the time length between games it can probably be 1 year, maybe less depending on how quickly Insomniac wants to get them out
>>335943605
>Sonyggers are the worst
you're clearly a living proof that's not true though
Here's your well earned (You)
>>335951096
>The movie flopped
It just came out today
You should a bit longer before you say that
>>335951514
I think, given how platformers look to be making a comeback (im only assuming based on Yooka Laylee's kickstarter and now R&C selling really well) theyll try to do another one, maybe use the same engine from the PS4 one, and just go with using the same movie characters and remake some aspects of the older games.
>>335951954
I hope so. I'm really starving for some new 3d platformers.
>>335942212
>remaster
Oh look another dumbshit who doesn't know what they're even talking about.
>>335952217
Punctuation is great, you should try it sometime
>>335952423
"Remaster" and "reboot" are some of the most misused words today.
>>335949131
it's not even that, they "tried to make it realistic/apocalyptic, but figured they couldn't" it's not they abhor the idea, they're just so far up their own ass that if they see if they can't do it, it can't be done if you look it up that's what the creative director basically said when the jak and Daxter precursor orb was released. the dramatic irony is Uncharted and TloUS are the most unoriginal IPs ND has ever created
>>335952447
did i make you proud mom?
