Is it going to be completely overshadowed by Dark Souls 3?
>>333685681
On /v/eddit? No shit. All the underage cucks here care about is their shitty "super hardcore xDDD" meme game.
I'm looking forward to it though. Is Stallone going to be in the game too, or just the movie?
Absolutely. I'm waiting till later to pick up a copy.
>>333685852
I rest my case.
No I'll make a three about it on release day asking those who bought how was it.
Maybe.
I'm still gonna getboth.
Two different target audiences, but both on casualstation 4
With that said, its possible.
Most people don't even know the existence of Assassin's Souls 3
Probably, but it'll do fine.
Hell, i'm picking up both at midnight and gonna play the shit out of them. Replaying ACIT right now for my last trophy.
>>333685681
no game has been advertiseed mkre then Ds3 so its bound to have a bosst in sales
>Ratshit and Clank Rehash Number 17
Pre downloading RandC at midnight, playing till 10 when EB opens, picking up DaS3, playing that till I passout.
>>333685681
I just want to play bloodborne. Fuck sony for keeping it exclusive.
Being a 30fps remake of a 60fps PS2 game is unforgivable, hope this shit bombs.
>>333685919
I'm still getting a copy. My back log is at like 800 now though.
>>333686652
Mate PS4 will be cheap when ps4K comes out.

/thread
Considering there's more people talking about the fucking Destiny update that comes out Tuesday, it's safe to say yes.
Also, is that a remaster of the original? If so I wish I had a ps4 so I could play it.
>>333686564
Ugh. So much this. But I guess it's okay when sony does it.
>>333685681
Nobody cares about character action games. Playstation fans aren't Nintendo fans, Nintendo fans are the only ones that care about this type of games anymore.
>>333687183
It's not a remaster, it's a re telling. From Quarks Mouth. So shits gonna be skewed.
>>333685681
Single player only with probably little to no replay value. I'll wait for it to be used.
>>333687183
It's a remake, yes.
>>333687314
Triggered that we all don't like your rehashed reddit games, sony pony?
>>333687183
It's a ground up remake. Honestly it looks fucking stunning graphically. Also the plot is being re-told by Qwark in prison so the events of it are a bit different.
i loved playing this when i was 10 or something

>>333687572
well you three have shits tastes then
and trying way to hard to fit in
>>333686715
Ye, gonna buy it when it's like 200$ or so.
Bought both
Its a remake, people will buy it but people want a NEW game.
Considering how lazy the not prerendered cutscenes look.
I'm gonna have to give the game a hard pass. Pretty bad when a 2003 game that it's based on has way better animation.
>>333686564
People thinking this is wrong when this game is literally a rehash of the first game made even worse with the babby story "improvements" the other games in the series were rehashes too, but they couldn't even come up with something new this time, embarrassing.
I'm getting both. Already have Dark Souls III on Steam. Gonna pick this up on launch. Haven't played an R&C game since Up Your Arsenal, but I'm hyped as fuck for this.
>>333685681
I might wait until it's a bit cheaper, but I definitely plan on getting it.
>>333687923
If you're talking about the creepy blank stares, they were using models that weren't finished. There was new footage released today and they're all good to go.
>>333688021
Link? I don't believe you. The facial animation was way off. It wasn't even synced. They didn't even move thier hands
>>333688012
its 40
>>333688151
you give a link to the bad ones
>>333688213
Really? That's nice. I will probably buy it when it hits 30.
>>333688021
I'm pretty sure the build from today's footage is the same as the demo build from a month ago which is also probably the final build. That said, some of the dialog animations are fine, it's just that Ratchet's looks weird at times.
>>333688312
>not having GCU
Getting 20% off all ne games is nice. I get it for 32$ on launch
r&c would be an okay game but it's way too easy. easy games are fucking trash and boring to play through. also r&c gameplay mechanics are pretty meh.
>>333686786
link to playthrough?
>>333685681
other than graphically, it's gonna be completely overshadowed by the original. They completely dropped the original plot line. Why? I don't know.
>>333688453
It's Qwark's perspective. It won't be canon.
>>333688274
The 50 minute polygon preview. The one where he talks to Skids around the middle is fucking Unity default tier bad.
Gwark has a nose now?
I didnt even realize this came out on the same day as dank souls kek. This games is for kids btw
I'm praying this is good.
Please god, please anyone, Please make this not suck ass

What's Dark Souls 3? This will be the only game I will be playing/purchasing.
I've wanted to play ratchet and clank on PC for ages. When will it happen?
>>333685681
on the internet yeah
irl no. it'll probably sell more than souls, or at least its total sales on ps4 will be more than das3 ps4 total sales (ps4 will be das3's highest selling platform)

I lost all respect I had for insomniac after their article on how fps doesn't correlate with review scores, so it shouldn't matter.
Every game after ACiT, which was their last 60fps game, has been mediocre at best and this one will be no different.
>>333688796

I'm starting to get a neogaf vibe here.
Insomniac went to shit years ago, the best part about this series was the fucking characters and whacky story. The gameplay was rehashed yearly to no complaint for a reason you know.
>>333689697

But that's incorrect

Well, when you have proof, let me know.
>>333689778
but its not cutscene the older games had those
>>333689136
>Selling Polaris weapon in the Solana Galaxy
A good chunk of the GrummelNet weapons do the same shit as some of the originals. Zurkon and Groovinator for the nth time is kinda lazy but what can you do.
>Changing Ratchet's backstory
He's still a mechanic that wants to get off Veldin.
>Making him nice for no fucking reason
Ratchet was never supposed to be a total dickbag in the original. You can write it off as character development but multiple Insomniac developers have stated that it was unintentional.
>Nefarious again
as a henchman
/v/ is such fucking shit that you faggots are supporting le hard gaem meme annual franchise bs over a AAA 3D platformer with possibly the best graphics this gen

>best part was the gameplay
Nigga let me just tell you, the most revered Ratchet and Clank game had the worst gameplay of the entire series.
Literally everything in that game was unbalanced as shit, so bad in fact, one element from the game became a yearly award at Insomniac for biggest blunder.
Do you know what game in the series I refer to?
>>333689980
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBYSrVBliJ8
Nigga what the fuck are you talking about?
How much of a remake is this game? Will the levels, weapons, etc be exactly the same?
>>333690025
>Nigga let me just tell you, the most revered Ratchet and Clank game had the worst gameplay of the entire series.
Nah, UYA had great gameplay.
>>333690129
A planet has been cute, weapons have been replaced with one's we've been seeing since ToD.
>>333685681
I mean, did you see the top selling PS4 games? That game would have sold pathetically regardless.
>>333690140
>great gameplay
>literally stripped out the choice of directions to go on every planet in favor of a linear mission system

>>333686626
>Xavier is Vegeta
>not wearing the white armor
fucking jobber
>>333690129
Some levels are nigh 1:1, some are fused with other planets (Hoven + Batalia), some have completely new areas added (Gaspar), and there's supposedly some new planets too.
A good chunk of the weapons are GrummelNet staples, with a handful of Gadgetron ones. There's only 2 new weapons (Pixelizer and Proton Drum) that we know of.
>>333688796

>actually implying Nexus looks better than ACiT
Holy fuck man
>>333690025
>the most revered Ratchet and Clank game had the worst gameplay of the entire series
Which one was that?
Was it Up Your Arsenal? I thought the comedy and story was better but I really hated the unnecessarily large level design, boring weapons, the lack of enemy variety, and Galactic Ranger sections.
What is this?
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
DID THEY FUCKING RETCON IT ALL!?
>R&C
>PS4
>30FPS
ACiT was 60FPS and it was amazing and looked like a fucking pixar/dreamworks movie
>>333690653
Galactic Rangers were the best parts of the game and I want a game that revolves around that style (maybe not Ratchet and Clank, more like Platinum)
>>333690718
The holocards cover shit from the entire series.
>>333690653
>Galactic Ranger sections.
Those were neat though. I liked fighting alongside them.
>>333685681
I dunno. Way more hype for this one than DaS3.

>>333690273
how bad is your swamp ass
>>333690935
The originals were 60fps with dips, especially when you broke a shit ton of things at once. But that always felt oddly satisfying.
>>333690837
I disagree. The only good things about the GR levels were when you got to use the vehicles.
Other than that, fighting with them or manning turrets got dull quick.
>>333690718
There's no fucking retcons
This PS4 game is quark telling a story, all inconsistencies are just him lying for dramatic effect
>>333690984
theyre not only listening to klepek though. its an industry wide rumour with people reporting from their own independent sources. ps4.5 is legit and its going to be more than just uhd support. enjoy getting btfo'd come e3.

I love R&C man, but Insomniac has really dropped the ball hard since they decided to do other stuff.
You seriously can't defend not wanting a game series that has been 60fps since the PS2 being suddenly ok it's 30fps on the PS4
>>333691204
how
>>333691119
Why would Qwark forget about Helga?
>>333691113
The vehicles were nice yes.
I'll also kinda that using the turrets got old real fast. I dunno I just like the idea of fighting alongside them. I guess they could've pull it off better.

They retconned her in Deadlocked, saying that she wasn't a Lombax because she lacked a tail.
Then they retconned her again in A Crack in Time by saying she actually was a Lombax and she escaped with Max.
Wake me up when they make another Going Commando

>>333691661
My brother, three of my friends on the waypoint forums, my mother's husband is a big gaming fan who shares my view.
The amount of people believing something doesn't change facts. Halo 2 is radically different than Halo CE, Halo 3 is radically different than Halo 2, eat.
Name literally any other series that adds as many weapons, vehicles, gameplay mechanics, enemy types, multiplayer customization. Not to mention inventing the couch splitscreen multiplayer's popularity, inventing lobby based matchmaking.
>>333685681
does this game have a hard mode or anything? its just so boringly easy. if it had even a modicum of challenge it would be so much better
>>333691680
>They retconned her in Deadlocked, saying that she wasn't a Lombax because she lacked a tail.
Where the fuck do they say that in deadlocked?
>>333691942
Challenge mode is in, as always. I'm not sure about difficulties.
This is one of the first game in which I couldn t wait for a physical copy for. I want it as soon as it releases o__O
>>333691958
>my mother's husband
lol
it was fun while it lasted
Has there been any commercials for this game to speak of? You'd think Sony would want their kids game marketed on kids channels and shit
Do they really think that this game can be sold on youtube ads alone?
>>333692102
Dude
>>333692102
>o__O
dont do that
>>333692127
Sony hasn't marketed a ratchet and clank game for 7 fucking years
despite that they still fund the development of new ones
I don't get it
>>333692127
They've been running commercials on the Schneider channel for the movie.
>>333692051
Difficulty modes are in, they've mentioned that the demos were put on easy difficulty which is why there was slowmo on grind rails when you need to do something
>>333691680
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFKL8Kafidg
Even if you are right about the deadlocked thing, it's completely within realm of reason that the deadlocked newscasters, or whoever the fuck, might have not known that female lombaxes don't have tails and assumed that she wasn't one.
>>333692124
its still fun you cuck
I am going to be switching back and fourth between dark souls 3 and this game. Decided to make an NA account to get it too because game doesn't release until the 20th here. Why did Insomniac do that?
>>333692102
me 2 0___O
>>333692204
To be fair, the Ratchet and Clank series sold on brand recognition for the most part, but this game is supposed to be aimed at a new audience of kids, not marketing this game towards them feels counter productive
>>333692243
Well, hopefully the film does do decently at the box office
>>333691680
http://ratchet.wikia.com/wiki/Angela_Cross#Deadlocked
The internet home of ratchet autism shows that you are wrong
>>333685681
Nah, I bought both.
Ratchet & Clank for my PS4, Dark Souls 3 for my PC :^)
Please understand that many of us have filters on to prevent spoilers. I, personally, only found this thread on the request of a friend. Don't include certain words or "triggers" if you want a genuine discussion
>>333692526
>this game is supposed to be aimed at a new audience of kids, not marketing this game towards them feels counter productive
I think they're hoping the movie acts as enough promotion, however the movie is getting equally little marketing
I've been seeing a shitton of the same ratchet ad on facebook through 'your friends like playstation' however that's more than likely targeted and not actually going to the people who don't already know about it
>>333692639
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmsRN78qMxM
>>333692564
Huh, apparently she's still alive according to the digital manual in the R/C collection. Anybody have it to check?
>>333692639
souls
>>333685681
>Is it going to be completely overshadowed by Dark Souls 3?
Almost completely different audiences, especially since it's launching with a movie as well.
Dark Souls isn't even that popular. It's not Fallout 4 or some shit.
>>333692639
Jesus, the souls fanbase really is one of the most cancerous groups around
>>333692564
Dude, that actually proves him right. That link shows that Deadlock's section has been edited and only contains what was said in ACIT.
When those arena announcers in Deadlocked said she wasn't a Lombax, it got people fed up for years until ACIT.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9GXxgh__3Q
>Blackwater City's Sewers still have the rising water section
>One of the devs from Insomniac dies during it
There goes my concern of this game being too easy
>>333692823
She was never dead, she just escaped to a different dimension with max apogee because TJ is too much of a hack to want to deal with her
The digital manual of the RC collection is not canon, it's literally just 'all of these characters from ratchet's past came together to watch a clip show'
>>333692926
I don't see anything on that talk page mentioning deadlocked
>>333692926
I searched deadlocked, and came up with nothing. If people were arguing I'm sure it would've been brought up.
>>333692976
Not necessarily. They could've just fled to Jashindu and not use the Dimensionator. Angela had no reason to go with the Lombaxes if Jashindu had offered her safety from Tachyon.
>>333693201
>Not necessarily
You do realise that's literally explicitly the explanation that is given in Crack in Time right?
>>333685681
Probably. R&C has always been overlooked as a series though.
>>333692639
TRIGGERED
>>333693296
No, only that they fled and possibly got protection in Jashindu. There was no concrete mentioning of her having used the Dimensionator.
I stopped playing these games after the first PS2 trilogy. How was the Future series?
>>333693542
The writing shifts to a more story focused approach, but the gameplay is still basically the same. ToD had some gimmicky weapons and gadgets because DS3.
>>333693542
Tools and a Crack in Time are both worth playing through
>>333693542
ToD is okay fairly typical R&C stuff. It's an early PS3 game however so there's wonky shit like Sixaixes motion control for some of the weapons.
Quest of booty is just okay not much else to say other than there's more of focus on platforming then fighting shit.
Crack in Time is pretty good.
Can't say anything about Nexus.
>>333693542
Nexus is the closest the PS3 gets to a PS2 style ratchet
>>333686564
What, no. This is the first mainline R&C game in a long, long time.
>>333693542
A Crack in Time is without a doubt the best in the series, not memeing
>>333693896
But Nexus was short and hot booty.
ToD and ACiT were better in every way.
>>333693896
Nexus was fun, had some impressive visuals but holy fuck it was way too short.
>>333693992
Shortness is irrelevant, its mechanics and execution were the closest to a PS2 ratchet
>branching paths (CIT all but entirely removed this because muh narrative)
>levitator 2.0: this time it's useful edition
>rising water sections
>those slideshow commercial cutscenes
>farming level
>2D side scrolling puzzles, spiritual successor to vidcomics
>platforming arena challenges
The game was short but it was still made up of a lot of revitalised elements that made the PS2 games
>>333694273
>Shortness is irrelevant
No, and the 2D sidescroling sections weren't nearly as fun as vidcomics.
>>333690025
It's obviously Going Commando. Snow Beast award.
It is my favourite because of the level design and weapons (unbalanced as they may be), but I prefer the story and characters of R&C1.
>>333694582
>No
Except it LITERALLY IS when you're analysing the mechanics
Mechanics are independent to the length of the game, and disregarding a game because it's short is equally ignorant
>>333690025
>that game was unbalanced as shit
How the fuck was GC unbalanced? The snowbeasts were an outlier
>>333691942
Play on hard for your first playthrough, otherwise it's for literally children.
Ratchet and Clank games always have a good NG+ mode with extra weapon upgrades and stuff, plus loads of secrets. A Crack in Time had a bunch of optional moons/side missions which were awesome, but I doubt this game will have that.
>>333694910
Hard mode + don't ever buy armor
>>333694810
No man, it's the same case with DMC4:SE, it has a fuckton of amazing mechanics but the game is boring because there's only like 16 enemies, 5 bosses and i's short as shit. Same case with Nexus to a lesser extent but it's still too short for a R&C game.
>>333694884
Early game weapons became useless due to HP creep on enemies. Once you were in NG+ and got everything to max it balanced out again though.
>>333695154
What you just described is GOOD balancing
Earlier weapons SHOULD become weak otherwise there would never be a need to buy new weapons. In NG+ it's okay for the ultimate upgrades to be even since you've already bought everything, but until that point the game needs to motivate you to buy new things

Your argument is still flawed, length may impact your overall opinion of the game but it doesn't impact the quality of the mechanics
All I was saying is that Nexus's gameplay takes a lot of inspiration from the PS2 games. That's true and there's empirical evidence (the devs even said outright they played all the old games as research for nexus and it influenced them).
Even though the game is short, the content that's there is quality. A short game is not inherently a bad game, and to suggest so is arrogantly idiotic
It's been so long since a real decent actual R&C title. Gonna have to wait for the general verdictbut part of me wants to pre-order it for The Bouncer but I'll hate myself for doing that.
>tfw no PS4
>>333695487
get the fucking bouncer anon
sony have never let ratchet preorder content be put up as paid DLC later
GC is my favorite. bought the Ratchet & Clank Collection and platinumed it so ill be giving it a shot
Is the HD Collection worth it?
>>333696645
$30 for two great games and very aged game?
Yeah, pretty good deal.
>>333696645
There's some hiccups here and there but I'd say it's worth it.
>>333696645
Have you played the PS2 versions before?
The PS3 ports are mostly competent, however they lack the polish of the original games and have an assortment of visual bugs
>>333696645
The first game has some glaring graphical glitches - but it's a far, far superior experience to emulating.
Go for it.
>>333692957
I hated the sewer section. Only reasonable explanation for why it exists is Insomniac Games may have used it as a hint for how bullshit Going Commando could be.
>watching little brother while he's sick
>watching spongebob
>Ratchet and Clank movie has commercials on Nick
How many people do they think that haven't played R&C are actually gonna go see the movie
>>333696987
They're counting on a lot
Did the commercial try to push the fact that it's based on a video game or are they promoting it as if it's a standalone product?
>>333696987
Part of the reason why the moviegame is a retelling of the original is to re-introduce Ratchet to a newer audience.
>>333695262
I actually agree with you, but it's a very common complaint about the game.
The only time it becomes an issue is if you don't buy a weapon straight away (because unless you grind you can't afford everything) and then later when you get the gun you've been saving for its useless until you upgrade it, which takes so long the upgraded version is useless by the time you get it.

It's also being told by Quark's perspective, so it doesn't ruin/retcon anything.

How the fuck do you scratch a bluray disk
PS2 can manage 60 fps

PS2 confirmed for being four times better than a PS4.

You're having a laugh right? As far as 2002 PS2 games looked, Ratchet 1 was fine.

It's really not hard once you know how to do it, and nothing in GC outside of trying to beat Mech without turrets is bullshit either.
They were designed for 12 year olds.
>>333698550
There were games looking better than it in 2002 like Kingdom Hearts. I dont think there is a game looking better than the new R&C for now.
Maybe except Battlefront.
>>333698447
> PS3 has 90fps
Not 45?
>>333698669
>nothing in GC outside of trying to beat Mech without turrets is bullshit either.
Trying the impossible challenge with no armor upgrades before you've maxed out all your weapons
I hope there is an Area in the game.
This is my fav part of all Ratchets.
>>333698950
I suppose Deadlocked/Gladiator is your favourite.
>>333698982
It isn't.
But i liked it much more than many. Especially because of that Soundtrack.
>>333690564
the explanation was that the game would focus on the action and gameplay while the movie would focus on cinematics
>>333698950
No arena according to Insomniac. Hoverboard races have multiple difficulties/cups though.
wanna play this but I don't own a ps4. Maybe I'll get one cheap secondhand when the ps4.5s come out and make everyone mad.
>>333688971
When you cave in and just get a cheap PS3 at some thrift store.

how the great have fallen.
>>333685681
it comes with a movie so no. It's going to he the opposite. Ds3 will underperform because kids allowance only allow for one game per 2-3 months.
>>333686928
>>its ok if crash does it
Is this 1995 again?
>>333699765
It's because they're slapping facial animation on top of an unrelated idle animation
Looks uncanny because the body gestures do not match up with the dialog

[citation needed], but there not being a public trophy mentioning the arena is more than a bit worrying
Watched a playthrough up until G34, not one skill point in sight IIRC. Moreover, the relevant menu is nowhere to be found. I have skipped a bit here and there though, so feel free to prove me wrong.
I just have the problem that the remake will be worse than the original, probably gonna wait for a going commando remake since it's my favorite game in the first trilogy

That player has no skill whatsoever so it adds up.
>Moreover, the relevant menu is nowhere to be found
There's an extras menu on the pause screen.
I bought R&C and my friend bought DS3 (both digitally) so I will play both.
In the mainstream? Yes the game (R&C) won't be noticed by Normies at all
>>333701608
GC's probably the one that stands to gain a bit more from all this remaking business, without turning into another game outright.
The first one was dated, yeah, but had a lot of cool quirks that had to go with this remake.
>>333701726
God fucking dammit.
What did they spend all that "extra polishing time" on, when they didn't even have an arena? When even fucking Into the Nexus had one? Jesus.
Isn't the extra menu for the Gold Bolt-unlocked cheats? I recall skins (masks actually) and other cheats being linked to Gold Bolts, which doesn't rule out skill points per se but makes them kind of redundant.
>>333702009
The extras/special menu is where they shove Skill Points, Cheats, and other unlockables under.
>>333701726

at least we know what the dlc will be about
More dev let's plays when?
>>333701726

weird, is this the first full length ratchet since deadlocked that did that? Deadlocked armor was just cosmetic, and since you can change the color of armor in the PS4 game they're somewhat similar

>>333702172

They're not here. Were they only shown after you completed the game in the original R&C? Either way, there's no trace of them here so far.

Man, I wouldn't care if they had to downgrade the graphics a bit to port it, I'd accept over playing the original R&C 1 in the R&C Trilogy, it's aged badly. Still playable but the controls are ass compared to it's sequels.
>>333702907
What the hell is the fucking point
>>333703135
It keeps your hands from getting burnt.
>>333702323
At least no armor vendors means I don't have to rely on using skins so ratchet's face isn't hidden by the final armor
>>333703215
why would you not want that great headgear?
>>333703135
The celebrities who they paid have higher name recognition and take priority in the advertising
Sylvester Stallone was probably hired with part of his contract saying that he had to be billed as 'and Sylvester Stallone' at the end of the list of names
>>333703298
because I like seeing the fur
>>333685681
Different target audience. The real question should be: is it going to be three hours long because it's not full price and essentially more of a movie tie-in than an actual reboot of R&C 1?
When they said they were not going to make them 60 frames anymore I stopped caring because I assumed they did.
>>333703180
>Sylvester and Stallone
>>333703298
Because.
I used Beach Boy in GC, Old School Ratchet in UYA, Convict Ratchet in ToD and Pirate Ratchet in CiT
The dealbreaker is its length. If it's another Quest for Booty or Into the Nexus, I'll be mad and not buy it. If it's like R&C 1, 2, 3 or Crack in Time, I'll get it.
Anyone got info on this?
Deadlocked was the shit.
>>333703581
Apparently it's 13-14 planets long. Not sure about the timeframe.
>>333689754
I support them, but I have so many games in my backlog that I know I won't play it. Just like I haven't played Puppeteer, Sly 4, Ratchet and Clank A Crack In Time, or Donkey Kong Country Returns Tropical Freeze. It doesn't make sense to me to buy something I know I'm not going to get around to playing until later in the year.
>>333686564
>>Ratshit and Clank
made me giggle
I'm buying Ratchet & Clank and Dark Souls 3 day one but RaC comes first. Gotta play it before DS3. Can't fucking wait. I'm giddy just thinking about upcoming vidya games.
>>333685681
>love ratchet and clank series
>dont own ps4
>didn't own ps3
i feel like iv made the wrong choice my entire life. i know alot of them were bad once they left the ps2, but still
>>333703754
I can't wait to play this, DOOM, and Overwatch, all on my PS4 of course
I'd say Persona too but at this rate it'll be vaporware
>>333703795
PS3 is pretty cheap m8. Crack in Time is really good as well.
>>333703826
PS4 is pretty cheap too m8, $340 for a system and 2 games under $40 each is pretty good
>>333703696
Sly 4 was a great game, for a late game in the series. If you've played the previous three (and liked them obviously) I suggest you play it as soon as you can.
>>333703686
Not good. Not good at all. The first game had 18 or something planets.
>>333685681
>Tomb Raider gets overshadowed by Bethesda's Fallout
>Ratchet and Clank gets overshadowed by memesouls 5
What is happening to the industry guys?
>>333703959
the more hype a game has, the better it'll be!
the only advertisements for the game are at the very tail end of the movie commercials. basically half a second of "also buy the game"
>>333703915
>>333703686
And the other two PS2 R&C games had 22+ locations.
>>333703915
At the same time, it's 3 times longer than QfB or Nexus.
>>333703915
Nexus only had 5 planets but it was still 5 hours long, plus challenge mode
Most ratchet games are around the 10-14 hour mark, this one's on track to be the same
>>333703915
Some of the planets have parts of other planets added on to them. Hoven has Batalia's fortress, for example. Other planets have completely new areas slapped onto them (Gaspar).
At any rate, it'll be much longer than Nexus.
>>333703915
I don't care about how many planets there are as long as there's plenty to do on them
>>333704057
>>333704068
>>333704052
>>333704025
I don't care how many we have as long as we have lots to do on them as well, but I'm afraid they'll cut on the mini-games and cool stuff to make it more of a linear experience.
Have they said how many weapons are in the game in total?
I really hope we get a robust new game plus like those old R&C games did...
>>333685681
No... believe it or not, not every gamer plays Dark Souls. Some of us aren't filled with this deep endless void of needing to prove that they have basic (let's face it) memorization skills.
reminder that they're literally fucking dead
>>333703915
It's a 40$ budget game.
>>333704251
at least they're getting robot ghost bowjobs
>>333704251
>they died on the last PS3 game

POTTERY.
I hope they make a cameo.
>>333704162
>but I'm afraid they'll cut on the mini-games and cool stuff to make it more of a linear experience.
Hoverboarding is still in and has more shit to do with it. Planets still have multiple objectives.
>Have they said how many weapons are in the game in total?
16 weapons, including the Bouncer, according to the holocards.
>I really hope we get a robust new game plus like those old R&C games did...
Challenge Mode is confirmed. Every Ratchet after the first has Challenge Mode.
>>333704162
>I'm afraid they'll cut on the mini-games and cool stuff to make it more of a linear experience.
They're not. Hoverboard racing and star fox ship flying are both still in it, and the levels shown still have branching paths. They're also adding new cool shit like the jetpack from nexus and a farming world
15 weapons, +1 for the bouncer if you preorder. Two full weapon wheels, which is exactly the same as TOD and just one weapon less than ACIT
>>333704301
I'd rather pay $60 to get a full game. Come to think of it, though, Sly Cooper 4 was $40 and it had decent length, specially when compared to old Sly games.
>>333704453
Sony are experimenting with new price points, they're testing to see if a full length kids games sells better if it's cheaper
This isn't like Nexus or TOD where the game itself is shorter
>>333704409
Challenge Mode is really confirmed? I thought they might chicken out because it's a reboot. That's great news!
>>333704426
Ok, now I'm getting hyped again! I might pick it up next week.
>>333704453
>Sly Cooper 4 was $40 and it had decent length
Not really, it had much fewer maps than Sly 2 and 3 and was terribly optimized and polished. The lack of budget was more than obvious. The same was true of Nexus with constant framerate dips and sound lag.
>>333704542
http://www.insomniacgames.com/ratchet-clank-ps4-trophy-list/
>Challenging: Complete the Game on Challenge Mode
>>333704542
Don't fall for the 'reboot' meme, the games in a very awkward category where it's a game based on the first game yet also based on the movie which itself is based on the first game with creative liberties
The game itself is presented as qwark recounting the events (he literally narrates the game) and using his usual lying and dramatic flair, so it's not rebooting the series nor is it retconning anything. It's a standalone special case
>>333704162
15/16 weapons including Omniwrench IIRC. No armor.
All original R&C minigames are in - hoverboard races, ship dogfighting, the Trespasser.
28 gold bolts, new trading card collectibles, no arena, no skill points.
Gaspar has a collectathon open area.
Challenge mode is in.
All in all, looks like it'll be about 2-3 times as big as Nexus. It's 13 planets, yeah, but e.g. Novalis is the same length as the original one, so it's not as big as, say, Yerek or that other dark city planet in Nexus.
>>333702009
i honestly want to know what people mean when they say the original trilogy is dated.
I get that, yeah, its been over 10 years since these games came out, but gameplay wise I still think they hold up. i dunno, I just dont see the point of calling them out as "dated" if the gameplay is still enjoyable after all these years. when its being called dated it feels more like an odd criticism than outright stating that the games are, in fact, old. someone help me out with this
>>333704634
It wasn't as polished, yes, and it had fewer maps, but they were bigger and had more stuff to do in them.I still thought it was boring, though, but Sly was never THAT good to me. R&C is the bestJak&Daxter can go to hell as well
>>333704709
No arena? Bummer... How big was Nexus again?
>>333704812
The first one is a little rough around the edges because of no strafe, no weapon levelling etc.
The other two are fine. 2 lacks polish in some levels but the core gameplay is rock solid.
>>333704901
It took me 5 hours on my first playthrough but I collected everything and got all the crystals and shit like that
>>333704901
Nexus had 5 planets + the intro area. One planet was an arena and another a hunting area.
Guys, anyone else is worried about going to the theater to watch the R&C movie? I don't have anyone to see it with and it's being marketed like a Pixar movie in my country... I feel like I'll be seen as the creepy old pedophile, even though I'm not bad looking.
>>333705118

Brazil. It has been rebranded with a generic title, to make it more 'appealing' to a wider audience that's used to Pixar / Dreamworks movies. It's called "Heróis da Galáxia" here, which translates to "Heroes of the Galaxy", even though the game is still Ratchet & Clank.
>>333705118

I'd rather play this than Dark Souls 3, to be honest.
