IT FUCKING FLOPPED

>>336181350
Big surprise. Didn't the game at least sell well though?
>>336181468
It broke launch sales records for the series.
>>336181350
Game was great. Movie should've been on Netflix. It was definitely not going to succeed the way it's written (you are basically guaranteed not to get much out of the film if you didn't play the game)
>>336181350
No Sly movie then?
>>336181964
Hopefully. I don't want to see them ruin Sly.
>>336181964
Hasn't been in production for years? They've probably poured too much money in to cancel now, unfortunately.
>>336182471
http://www.ign.com/videos/2016/03/28/whats-up-with-the-sly-cooper-movie-kevin-munroe-interview
No, the teaser trailer was just a proof of concept. It hasn't actually started production.
>>336182471
It hasn't begun production yet. Sony was probably waiting to see how Ratchet did before greenlighting it.
>>336182640
>>336182669
Oh thank god.
I thought it was a pretty d-decent movie.
Where it sits comparatively
>Thought it was pretty decent
>Had plenty of nods to the games if you're a fan
>Can't say I like Ratchet's new personality of being a five-year-old who is overly obsessed with being a hero
>Pacing was rushed as all fuck
>There was no reason to change Drek's actor
>The Blarg being a bunch of rowdy texters was pretty fucking funny though
And the game is a fucking 11/10, I'd be willing to argue it's right up there with CiT and UYA as my favorite.
>>336182826
>>336182965
That's because you played the games.
It's not good as an intro for people that didn't.
>>336181350
Is it good? I've been meaning to see it and I'm a R&C fan, but I'm not sure if it's worth a ticket
I've pretty much been waiting to see it, unfortunately.
>Lowry running away from the pressure
Nice "star" you got there
>>336183120
It's not a bad movie, just another mediocre kiddie flick, but if you like the series you should like it. It's not good either though.
I saw it, I thought it was alright. But that's because I played the games.
>>336183384
Woopd wrong thread and board
My least favorite part of the whole Rachet and Clank universe is Captain Quark showing up and spewing toilet humor to appeal to all the 5 year olds.
I don't know the first thing about this movie, but I'm just going to assume that Quark just runs around burping and farting.
>>336182669
"How did the Ratchet movie do?"
"It was panned, people hated it."
"Oh I guess people just don't want movie adaptations of games, let's not do any more then."
GUARANTEE YOU THIS WILL BE THEIR LOGIC
>>336181350
More like Rachet and Tank™
>>336182904
>there was a double dragon movie
>>336183674
Let's all hope so.
>>336183674
well yeah
they didn't want to make a Ratchet movie until the lowest bidder showed up and took the job
if a Ratchet film didn't do well then they sure as shit won't do a Sly one
>>336182904
>all that Uwe Boll schlock
>>336183873
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z1a7GlGCAs
>>336183674
You say that like there's something wrong with that. It would be the optimal turn of events.
>Game is not really good, the only good thing about it are its good graphics for a ps4 games and the same gameplay we all know and love
>Move is just as bad as the game, graphics are nothing new because Pixar and others exists and there's no gameplay to save it
Are people really surprised it bombed?
>>336182904
>Worse than House of the Dead
>Worse than Alone in the Dark
holy shit that's bad
>>336184312
>not really good
>fastest selling game in the franchise
>>336184312
the game is great, movie is mediocre
>>336184430
COD sales are 100 times higher than R&C, does that mean it's 100 times better too?
>>336184373
it honestly doesnt deserve to be that low, the movie is like a 5/10 at worsy
>>336184312
Nice meme shitposter
you know i havent actually heard anyone talk about the movie or the game
maybe its just not popular where i live, but did the game just not get marketed?
>>336184569
so your average dreamworks film then
>>336184312
Except the game is really good, the heck are you smoking?
>Fight Club, Hook, Ninja Turtles 1990, and Fear & Loathing were all panned by critics when they came out.
Also, the reasons for bashing the movie in these reviews are stupid. It feels too much like a videogame? WELL NO SHIT!
>>336184529
>Comparing something to COD meme
Saw it with a few friends. Two of them had never played R&C and still had a blast with the movie. Sure, it's not perfect and the pacing isn't great, but I felt it was as good as an animated kids movie based on a game could be. The nod to both Jak&Daxter and Sly was well received in our theater too.
It's a solid 7/10. Not great. Not terrible. Worth the price of admission and will likely buy when home release hits.
Ace Attorney is still the best video game movie. R&C is a close second.
>>336181350
can't flop when you spend exactly $0 on marketing.
>>336184903
You're the retard that brought sales in the first place to prove it's good while it doesn't mean shit
>>336184910
How about the two CG Resident Evil movies? Those were pretty solid, even if they only had like 2-3 monsters to them.
>>336184373
>Worse than Chun-Li
That's embarassing.
>>336185013
No, I'm not.
>gamer gate in charge of dealing with critics
>>336183968
>>336184290
In this particular case yes. The problem is that they will never recognize WHY it actually bombed, as in, the elements about it that people hated that didn't belong in it, the ways they fucked over the source material, etc. They won't learn this or apply it to anything else. They'll just assume that nobody wanted a Ratchet movie.
>My 8-year-old loved it. But he would eat dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets for every meal if I let him, so let's not consider his opinion.
REKT
>>336184859
Wasn't The Thing also panned?
>>336185123
>fastest selling game in the franchise
Sure buddy
>>336185238
I'm not the guy who said that, retard.
I don't know that much about movies but come someone give me an idea of how much money it cost to make it and how much they basically lost
>love the games and really want to see this movie
>all the cinemas around me don't let single people buy tickets
>have no friends and the girl I asked out looked at me funny for asking her to a kid's movie
Stupid idea for a movie. Sony has been pushing R&C as Pixar shit since the PS3. Only the PS2 games have the right tone: funny but not stupid or inane.
>>336185284
Neither am I
not him btw
>>336183674
>Sony sees that the game did well while the movie bombed
Thank you God
>>336184373
>>336182904
This is what saddens me the most.
The movie isn't good, but is way better than Alone in the Dark by a huge mile.
I imagine people today are way less unforgiving to stuff that isn't good than back then.
>>336185390
What in the fuck do any movie theaters actually do this or this just a meme I keep hearing
I don't think I've ever went to a movie by myself just because I barely ever watch movies
>>336185209
>B-but guys.... critics hated Star Wars
>But guys....critics hated Wizard of Oz
It's not just critics though. Everybody hates this movie.
>>336185123
Why are you replying to me? I'm not him.
>>336183674
My personal view, but it seems they really wanted the movie to do well more so than the game.
>>336185529
I agree. Yes, the movie is bland as fuck, but some critics are going as far as say it's worse than Norm of the North.
>>336185552
pretty sure it's a meme, or a very uncommon practice
>>336185391
Sony will keep milking R+C until the franchise is as bad as sonic
Meanwhile, we will never see another good Spyro game again
>>336185320
Typically an animated movie takes about $50-$150 million to make, but in this case it's really up in the air since it's Sony and the animation was outsourced to some rando company.
A good guess would be 20m, and they'll need a bit more than 20m just to break even. 4m for fucking opening weekend is terrible. Top put it in perspective, Zootopia, a movie that has been out for over 2 months pulled in more than the R&C movie. Now THAT is sad.
>>336185607
Everybody hates niggers, that doesn't mean it's right or okay.
How much did it cost to make?
>>336181350
It says it made $5 Million
>>336185861
You have to spend money to make money.
>>336185861
>$150 million
Where the fuck does this money go? You'd think a majority of the assists would already have been created by now to use.
>>336185861
Not counting is well known this movie has an incredibly small budget.
so I guess it doesn't have to try THAT hard to get back the losses.
That actually happened with Rainmaker's last venture to theatrical movies before this, Escape from Planet earth.
The movie was okay. I wasn't really impressed with anything, but I don't think it was bad. That being said, I don't think they gave Ratchet and Clank enough screen time as a pair.
Ratchet was a douchebag for most of the movie. That, and they played him off as almost a complete idiot. I know it's a reboot, but damn pay some respect to the source material.
>>336185861
>a movie that has been out for 2 months has made more than a movie that has been out for 3 days
HOLY SHIT I NEVER WOULDVE GUESSED
Actually had a fun idea about how they could reboot Going Commando.
>Villains are Zurgo and Quasar, Qwark's brother
>Zurgo is the one imitating Fizwidget, while Quasar imitates his brother in order to further defame the fallen hero
>Their plan was to frame Qwark as the mastermind of the malfunctioning Proto-pet outbreak similar to the original GC, with Quasar readying to break into the scene as a new hero who was better than his brother
>Game ends with Qwark's name ruined, prompting him to leave for Florana
Re-up your arsenal could then play out relatively the same, albeit with the changes seen from later games. Thus, no Dr. Nefarious for the tenth time right away.
>>336185778
>Sony will keep milking R+C until the franchise is as bad as sonic
Impossible. Sonic's problem is that it keeps reinventing the wheel. Ratchet's eventual problem is that the formula hasn't been innovated CiT, but that's because all the games following it were budget titles.
>>336186147
>Ratchet was a douchebag for most of the movie. That, and they played him off as almost a complete idiot. I know it's a reboot, but damn pay some respect to the source material.
That's the source material. Play it again, if you may.
>>336185529
Freddy got Fingered is better than any of Uwe Boll's films.
>>336186234
*since CiT
>>336184716
>shitposting DW films
>>336186160
He's comparing the totals for this weekend, not its entire run.
>>336186161
nah it's gonna be up your arsenal.
I love going commando but I don't think it would make good movie material really.
I almost hope they try to adapt Jak and Daxter so they they'll get a good tie in game. Or any game at all.
>>336182904
>Performed worse than House of the Dead
Dear God.
>>336186160
Are you fucking retarded?
He said the Ratchet and Clank's opening weekend pulled in less than Zootopia's 10th weekend (or whatever the fuck they're at). Not overall you dumbfuck.
>>336186395
I wanna fuck that rabbit
There's extremely limited screenings in the UK, so that probably didn't help.
>>336186074
Shit goes mostly into advancing animation quality I assume. Stuff like Zootopia's fur technology.
Another nail in the Sony coffin :))))))))
>>336186236
Uh, no. Ratchet is from a backwater planet, but he's not an idiot. Ever since the first game he's been a brilliant strategist. That, and he didn't treat Clank as a second class citizen like he did in the movie. If anything, it's the other way around.
>>336181350
I didn't even know it was out
>>336186370
I meant the game. They're not gonna do another movie. Even if this one had been a blockbuster, a sequel likely would have just been something entirely new.
>>336183873
damn right and it was terrible. abobo was like bane from that batman movie with george clooney
>>336186596
when was the last time you played first game
>>336186685
yeah, good pointI just really want up your arsenal on the big screen
>>336186395
>a furrybait movie from disney that was advertised to hell and back made more than what is likely sony's first outing into movie adaptations of video games, starting with a ps2 game that most minecraft kiddies (zootopia's target audience), never played or even heard of
Say it isn't so.
I liked Paul Blart 2
>>336186161
I hope they don't reboot the rest of the games. R&C 1 was the only one that needed it.
Every other mainline Ratchet game aged perfectly fine. I don't know why people would even want to ask for reboots of the other PS2 games because their strong points would be eyecandy and that would literally be it. It'd be worse in every other regard.
>Didn't find the movie as bad as critical response seems to claim.
>Most R&C are now gonna focus on this as much as locked 30 FPS
I don't agree it was very bland and it probably would have gained better success as a Netflix-exclusive movie. But I don't wanna dwell on sadness so I'm gonna point out the stuff I ACTUALLY liked among all those misfires:
>While the friendship was barely developed, Ratchet and Clank's delivery was 10/10. You can tell their VAs have the characters down pat and stood up against all those bland celebrity voice overs.
>Design wise it looked like the games. which with these movies that's a rarity.
>Victor Von Iron's Funeral scene.
>That Blarg with no indoor voice
>"WILHELM!"
>Some of the description subtitles made me light chuckle"Oh, like you didn't see this coming."
>Drek and Nefarious' fate being quite harsh in constrast with the way more kiddy tone of this adaptation
>>336186892
I do agree*
My bad.
>>336186892
it's almost as if movies aren't made for the people paid to be critics
>>336186890
Like I said RUYA would be exactly the same beyond changing Qwark's redemption a little. GC would still have to see some change since Qwark isn't vengeful after the story. I mean yea, they don't have to remake the game, but at least it's a fun idea of HOW they could do it without going retarded and making Qwark be a cunt for no reason.
>>336186853
Obviously this movie wouldn't even touch the overall gross of Zootopia, but the fucking NINTH WEEKEND of Zootopia did better than OPENING weekend of R&C.
That's fucking terrible.
it's a vidya movie, of course it was gonna bomb financially and be shit to boot.
>>336181350
well of course it did, it should have just been included with the game, it doesnt look like it was ever meant to be in theaters
>>336187271
Being a Disney movie kind of skews the numbers a bit though.
>>336186892
Vicktor's funeral was hilarious, and also kinda dark when all the Blarg got sucked out the airlock.
>>336187117
The one thing I liked about the remake was how that since it's told by Qwark's perspective, it made it a bit more of a fresh experience rather than just playing the exact same game with the exact same story.
I don't want to imagine GC or UYA in 30FPS with a handful of levels missing, from the original, mediocre OST, etc
>>336187293
the prince of persia movie was pretty good I though
Part of the problem is the lackluster marketing. Oh sure, they promoted it quite a bit on PSN, a place only GAMERS would even fucking know about. Not to mention they didn't show any trailers for at least a year before it was due out, and at one point had it set for 2015 before quietly shifting it to this year with no warning.
As for the movie, though I haven't seen it, I don't doubt the claims that while it isn't terrible, it's just "a movie of a game" rather than a brilliant adaptation that could have attracted millions of fans for more films and a flood of new game sales.
Still, I do kind of hope it doesn't kill off game movies. This showed promised by looking and feeling like the source material, something is undeniably rare with many other entries.
>>336181468
http://gematsu.com/2016/04/ratchet-clank-ps4-fastest-selling-game-franchise-history
Downloading the remake now. This shit better be good, /v/. I need to wash the taste of the movie out of my mouth
>>336186752
Last month.
>>336187561
It ran just fine, though. And not like Insomniac can't find a way to break into 60fps if they take the time. Also the OST was just fine.
>>336183674
When the only sector of your company that isn't bleeding money hard is the video game one you're not gonna want to put as much time, money, and effort on the other parts
>>336183754
I just wanna let you know that I appreciate this joke, anon. It got a chuckle from me. As I sit here, elbows resting on knees, producing one of the largest turds of my young life.
>>336185861
Double your budget + marketing to break even.
BVS is at $850M and the WB execs are grinding their teeth and wringing their hands.
>>336187480
Slightly, but nothing this bad.
To put into perspective, a equally financially successful Disney (Pixar) movie Inside Out couldn't hit a million on each day, while Zootopia has pulled over a million for Fri/Sun and over 2m on Sat.
>>336187758
Jirard actually said it best when he said "the OST isn't anything remarkable but it definitely fits what's going on"
>game launches for $40
>gets bundled with movie months later for $60
>>336185861
This movie actually had a budget of $20 million, so it's a feat that it managed to look as it did. And even then it's nothing compared to actual animated movies
>>336187971
Each day on the 9th weekend, that is*
>>336185747
To be fair, going to the movies along is quite possibly one of the most miserable experiences you could ever subject yourself to.I do it all the time because I have no friends.
What should we do sonybros??
>>336187936
I was monitoring BvS BO for a while, and holy shit people dropped this movie so fucking fast.
>>336181350
Saw this and was confused when I went to see Super Man VS Batman. Probably should have seen Rachet instead.
>>336187598
>shaky cam up the ass
No. No it wasn't.
>>336188062
Well it is by the folks who made Reboot, they've been doing CG for over 20 years.
>>336188256
eheh
>>336188274
Word of mouth killed it. A lot of people went to see it because it was the fucking Batman vs. Superman movie but the critical and consumer reaction to it sunk that shit hard
>no Kevin Michael Richardson
What the fuck were they thinking?!
>make money from the game
>lose it on the movie
>>336188323
It wasn't that shaky.
>>336188062
The technology they used to make movies a few years ago is getting cheaper. You can make a movie that looks like Up without the budget it had back then.
>>336188274
/tv/ deserves a victory every once in a while.
They needed fucking Twitter to praise this movie.
Not saying it's true but wouldn't the 20 mil budget also include the game as well? I mean, the entire movie is basically one giant cutscene for a video game.
Can someone tell me about backwards compatibility or releases on the ps4
Do they have all the r&c games? all the jak and daxter games? all the sly copper games?
>>336188420
Movie Drek is very different from Original Drek. Tbh Kevin Michael Richardson not only wouldn't have fit, it'd have actually made me madthat he gets hijacked by Nefarious by the end.
>>336185529
I'm sure it entirely has to do with the movie being animated while those other movies weren't. Uwe Boll or not it isn't hard to get idiots into a theater when promised some generic horror shit, as opposed to an animated kids film with pretty much zero marketing.
>>336188323
I don't remember it being particularly shaky.
A lot of people complained about the ending since it used time travel to make it so 90% of the film never happened, but I really liked that because I was so fucking mad about PoP 2008's ending and the movie ending was basically the same idea except actually done well.
>>336188374
It's hard to comprehend sometimes, because I also love a hobby full of people that eat literal shit and comes back for more.
>>336183674
It's not a dumb way of thinking. Sly is being made by the same shitty animation studio and if R&C couldn't sell on name alone, with a tie-in video game to go with it, then the project is as good as dead.
That being said only Sony's relationship with the animation company is fucked, we're not going to see any movies coming from them any time soon but this won't affect their decisions to make other video game movies. Hell, Sony confirmed an Uncharted movie and a TLoU movie as well.
That being said, they're supposedly both in development hell so they might go in the shitter anyway for an entirely different reason.
Can someone tell me about backwards compatibility or releases on the ps4
Do they have all the R&C games?
All the jak and daxter games?
All the sly cooper games?
>>336188787
The PS4 is not backwards compatible, you can only play the remake on it
>>336188579
You can't play PS3 discs on PS4, but you can play PS3 games with the "PSNow" service. Never tried it, but you should be able to play all the R&C games that wound up on PS3.
>>336185163
>fucking up the source material is why this movie bombed
Absolutely no one outside of gamers are aware of this franchise, and even then most gamers are only generally aware of it. The main reason this movie bombed is that its an animated action movie based on an IP with practically zero mainstream recognition.
>>336188864
Was there much of a complaint from fans about the remake?
>>336188787
I believe the collections are playable through PlayStation Now, though I don't know how good that is
>>336188710
>Hell, Sony confirmed an Uncharted movie and a TLoU movie as well.
>That being said, they're supposedly both in development hell so they might go in the shitter anyway for an entirely different reason.
They also have a bigger chance at success than R&C because they can at least can market themselves as generic action flicks for the basic popcorn movie goer which you can't really do with an animated property like Ratchet or Sly.
>>336188641
Kind of weird since Sands of the time the game literally ends with all the events unfucked by time travel.
And the 08 game was an interesting way to do an ending. Should have had the Prince at least say "We can't just keep sealing the bastard" instead of just looking like he wanted to get his dick wet.
movie was made , beside for more exposure, to cash in more money alongside the game
if the movie fails I'm sure sony won't give a shit
they give adam sandler 20mil for every single movie he makes , bust or not.
>>336188934
Aside from the shit posters, it is universally praised from fans and PS4 owners.
>>336189091
Neat, might get a ps4.
>>336184859
Fight Club and Fear and Loathing were not completely panned by critics, and Hook was genuinely a pretty crappy film (seriously, watch it now, its slow as shit and has a ton of really bizarre elements and plot points).
>>336188787
Get a PS3. It's at its cheapest now and it worth every buck, unlike buying 360 now, for example.
>>336188710
Uncharted and The Last of Us already feel like movies. That's not an insult as I think they're pretty good but why would you want a movie when you can just play the game or watch the cut scenes on YouTube.
>>336181350
did not have any of the innuendos that the original trilogy was filled to the brim with? I thought that alone would have it sell well.
>>336189141
It's decent but not worth buying a system over. Are there any other PS4 games you're interested in?
>>336189064
Pretty sure the game was put into development shortly after the film. So if anything, the game was being made to expose the movie. Problem is, the film barely got any promotion to hype up viewers.
>>336184859
Don't forget Eraserhead.
Saw it today. It was alright. It could have been something amazing is Sony tried. Fans well like it.
I did like the daxter and sly easter egg.
>>336189186
There's literally nothing wrong with a movie being slow.
People who complain about movies being 'too slow' are ADHD-infested retards.
>>336189290
Maybe them souls games.
>>336189302
>The game was in concurrent development with the film and shared the same character models, environments, animation and some writing. For example, Insomniac would send Rainmaker a 3D character model or environment, and Rainmaker would send Insomniac its slightly altered version for use in the game, so there would be parity between the pieces. Most of the assets in the film and video game had been touched between the two parties, and in some cases Insomniac would try to match a film scene as closely as possible in-game. The film and game also used the same color-correction tools.
most articles point to the game being first
>>336188641
the fight scenes were a mess in the film. Sorry, but that's now how sword fights should be filmed.
Just see zootopia instead
>>336181350
Who cares? The game did well.
>>336189386
Shut the fuck up, you know damn well there are instances where its OK for a film to be slow and instances where its not, I'm obviously talking about the latter here.
>>336189332
>Daxter easter egg
How cynical can you be, Sony?New, proper Jak never;_;
>>336188892
And there you have it; either no mainstream awareness so confusion, and for those who are fans it takes a dump on the series. But the company behind this movie will not fucking learn this.
>>336189685

Hey, I loved that movie as a kid, I saw it twice in the theaters. I watched it again recently and I wanted to blow my brains out any time Rufio wasn't on the screen.
>>336189213
Expanding the franchise. Books and movies can help deepen a franchise in many ways. Adding adventures that might not work in one medium, or bridging the gap between two different media.
Problem is, the first movies almost always have to be retellings of the first games, and with that comes the task of squeezing a story told over roughly 2 hours (give or take with some games, often more depending) into something usually less than that.
One of the biggest issues with Reboot and Clunk is how it just speeds through a lot of events with no buildup or world building, and not Drek's kind mind you.
>>336188957
True, it's the same way Guardians of the Galaxy- niche shit even avid comic book fans barely knew- was a big success. They advertised to guys that like space adventures (similar to Star Wars) rather than just the people who read the comics.
The problem with R&C's marketing was that it boiled down to "HEY GUYS IT'S A MOVIE BASED ON A VIDEO GAME HOW ABOUT THAT HUH", the average movie-goer doesn't know or care about R&C games so it bombed.

>>336182904
I don't care, I love House of the Dead and Chun-Li. So fucking bad it's great.
>>336189547
Sounds more like the game came shortly after. It was probably done as a marketing scheme
>Let's make a movie, but also a game based on the movie
Only reason this didn't backfire like so many tie-ins is because they got the original dev to not only help with the film (which probably saved it from being a total disaster) and handle the remake, sparing the latter from being shovelware by some iPhone developer.
>>336183674
Remember in the 90's when every game just had to have a cartoon series and a catch phrase? Do you remember the mortal kombat cartoon series? The DK series? The new Sonic Boom?
This is a good thing. Movies should stay away from vidya.

go read Roger Ebert's review of Fight Club, he makes a fair point that the film never lives up to the potential of its early scenes which examine the impersonal and depressing nature of modern life.
I'm reading a few reviews of Fear and Loathing and the main criticism seems to be that its visually interesting but the script is sorely lacking the book's infectious energy. Which honestly I completely agree with, the book is leagues better than the movie. Same about Fight Club as well now that I think about it.
>>336190315
It's really not a WoW movie.
It's based off Warcraft 1, the strategy game, and lore books like Rise of the Horde.
Though there are some small details that WoW players will appreciate. (Ex: they remade a popular tavern in the game into a full set)
>>336190239

Because he likes Warcraft, and wants to do the series justice. In fact, most of the cast are either current WoW players, or recovering WoW addicts.

>>336190239

It doesn't even feel like Warcraft. Looks like some guaranteed flop based on some no name fantasy book that nobody wanted.

really? The general consensus I've seen even among DC fans was that it was disappointing.
Personally though I really disliked it but for different reasons than I commonly hear. A lot of DC fans were upset that Superman killed Zod because that's not muh superman (nevermind that he killed mr mixy at the end of whatever happened to the man of tomorrow) but that didn't really bother me. What bothered me most was the pacing of the film and the villain's motivations making no fucking sense whatsoever. I remember just sitting there an hour into the movie and thinking to myself holy shit when is superman gonna beat up some bad guys already. They dragged the origin out WAY too long.
And then Zod is trying to reverse terraform Earth so he can make a new Krypton but doesn't care that this planet already has a race of sentient life that would be completely wiped out in the process? He also apparently doesn't want super powers because they take a few years to learn how to use? If he has the codex and a FTL spaceship he could go and do that literally anywhere, hell he could just go to mars and do it without having to wipe out billions of people.
I mean I get that he was genetically designed to be a war leader so he doesn't understand diplomacy very well but the idea that someone from such an incredibly advanced race would find a race of sentient life that lives in a way his own once did and his initial reaction is to wipe them out because of their disgusting barbarity rather than conquering and civilizing them (which he could easily do) is just dumb. Its made worse by the fact that its done without any explanation whatsoever.

It runs just fine, 30/60fps are not the only defining aspect of a game.
The worlds are still large enough and offer plenty to explore.
They only talk in the places you can see them or they're nearby. They're also not as chatty as people keep claiming.
The game is just fine.

>>336182904
It looks like it's the only movie shown that didn't lose money. It broke even. That combined with merchandising and dvd/psn sales, it'll end up going positive. Plus the movie hype added to the video game sales, which preformed well. All in all, not a bad move for Sony.

I watched it when it aired. Lasted 2 seasons, since it was MK and they were huge back then
>>336195953
And you sound like a nigger, so your opinion isn't really relevant is it?
>>336181964
You are misunderstanding WHY this movie failed.
Sly movie will not have the same writers or the same adherence to a video game counterpart.
This whole R&C reboot was based on making a movie and a game side by side. That's how it was planned.
Even if they did more "PlayStation Originals", which they will, they'd be a case by case basis like any other film. In this case, the film just needed way, way better writers. The R&C script is completely humorless and bland for 2/3rds of the film.
>>336196071
and you think yours is fuck off
>>336194912
It runs fine. Its when you try to push the game to its limit. That's when the deeping starts.
>>336196285
>>336182904
How did those Pokemon movies cost that much? Weren't they only dubbed in the U.S.? I thought the cost of the Japanese production and Korean outsourcing was written off as soon as those got licensed for the west.
I want to see it but I've been too busy, won't be able to see it until Wed thanks to other people being busy as well
>>336196285
My opinion is not a fuck off.
It was garbage. No characters with anything but a pixel-thin personality, a meandering storyline, lots of action and mayhem that is completely uninvolving. If the video game movie genre is ever to succeed (there has yet to be a successful adaptation) it has to do more than copy the video game. It has to approach it as a movie, and that requires something more fully realized in the way of character and plotting.
It's not hard to please a diehard fan but it is something else to make a viewer feel like he didn't just sit in front of his TV or laptop for 2 hours. Instantly forgettable.
The best variations on the genre are still films that took the subculture and crafted an original story or documentary. Wreck-It Ralph, Last Starfighter, King of Kong, Tron (barely).
The genre is still batting zero as cinema, even if the gamers are pleased.
>>336196235
I'm not convinced they'd have better writers for Sly, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. I think Sly would probably work better as a movie though, the characters and story already feel like a cartoon or comic.
So which game has the best chance of transitioning into a good movie?
Is Dr Nefarius seriously in the new game? I thought it was a remake of the first?
>>336190186
I remember one saying it or comparing it too but sadly forgot where it was.
>>336182904
Did a Pokemon movie seriously flop that hard??

Going from 60 to 30 is a downgrade no matter what you think. You may not believe it but lower framerate impacts the gameplay of any game except maybe turn based rpgs significantly
Cutting content is not excusable

It's like a cross between the first and third, has the overall plot of the original, but elements of the third (Galactic Rangers, Qwark having a team under his command and the Phoenix starship, references to his battles with Nefarious in the past).
>>336197102
I hope insomniac is paying you well anon.
Is it true the budget was 12 million anyway?
>>336197191
what the fuck is up with you
>>336196954
No, it doesn't impact the gameplay all that much, and certainly not to the level you're claiming it does.
They didn't cut content since the movie didn't even include the missing levels. Ergo, they didn't cut anything because the remake was never going to be a 1:1 recreation of the PS2 original.
They really aren't that chatty, stay wrong.

>i am too retarded to notice gameplay drops
Guess what anon this remake doesn't even follow the dame movie so you're wrong on that.
Not to mention all the worlds you visit in this remake are from the first game ergo they cut content.
Nice shilling anon you really convinced me Ratchet and Clank on the ps4 is worth buying and is game of the year
>>336197631
Only thing I recall was the game kind of hiccupping when I did the brain collection with a 20x multiplier. Audio even buzzed a bit. Beyond that, it's been as smooth as the other games. Even then, not like those didn't have dips themselves.
>>336197426
Went and saw it with my friends, and some of the references made me chuckle, but I'm the only one among them that played the games so...it was mostly silent. I feel judged now for liking the games.
>>336196235
let's be fair here, somebody was at least trying when they wrote the wilhelm joke
>>336197735
Except it does follow the movie, it just purposefully tells certain events differently because that's how they wrote it.
And I only didn't know drops because there weren't any in my play throughs of the game. So that means the only retard is you if you think everyone has to be experiencing them and being inconvenienced.
It's so cute how you're only defense is to call others shills when they don't agree with you. What, first day on /v/? Wanting to get your shitposting badge?

>>336197965
>follows the movie
>tells things differently
>it follows the movie
60 to 30 is a noticable drop and if you're too retarded to not tell the difference then the only retard is you.
>only diffence is calling shill
That's what you are faggorino. You are trying to state a remake with worse framerate and less content is just fine which it isn't
>>336198175
yeah i know, i enjoyed it decently.
the blargs being outrageous texters was funny.
the whole scene with captain quark and the hashtags gave me cancer.
>>336198187
It literally has the same major events. Just because some scenes in the movie are longer, and a few not happening within the game doesn't mean it's not the same story.
Framerate drop is only noticeable when it happens, and the game doesn't drop all that much, barely even. The framerate is just fine and runs as smoothly as the other games.
No, I'm someone with a differing opinion, bucko. The fact that you can't come up with any other argument than me being on someone's payroll just proves how much of mouth breathing little brat you are who probably hasn't even played the game and is just spouting the same exaggerations because you don't like it and want to voice it on a fucking anonymous image board.
I knew it was going to crash and burn, but I thought it would at least make $5 million opening weekend and not get beat out by Zootopia in its 9th week. It wasn't terribly good, but it still had its moments, and it definitely isn't 20% RT bad.
>>336198783
>just because it's different doesn't mean its not the same story
I am not talking about framerate dips I am talking about the decreased framerate you mouth breathing retard.
Anyone defending an objectively worse product that one that came out ten fucking years ago has to be a shill or a redditor who only cares about muh graphics.
You can just fuck off you're not fooling anyone.

I immediately don't want to see this movie upon reading that. If that is the humor I am in for, then I'm out.
>>336199509
It's pretty typical of the series' humor for childish puns and innuendos.
>>336199284
Because Disney movies are actually good and are accessible as fuck. When you can't make a movie that is able to hit the mark of "good" you fucked up.
I maintain that sticking closer to the plot of the original game, where Ratchet is a grumpy asshole and reluctant hero at first and Nefarious isn't involved at all, would have made for a more interesting movie. It would have focused on the relationship between Ratchet and Clank more than making it an instant-friendship sugar overdose. It's belittling to children to think that they can't handle a slight bit of depth to their stories and characters.

Somewhat. Nothing exactly says they can't eventually revisit the first film universe if they ever feel like cashing in on it. Though I wonder if Shredder was gonna just be alive, or brought back in one of the ways done in the comics. Nigga got resurrected like three times if I'm not mistaken.

>>30 fps instead of the original's 60
Honestly fucking negligable. Been replaying all the games lately and the framerate hasn't impacted the games at all.
I seriously think caring about framerate has become a memetic response. Where some people pointed out how some styles of games need high framerates, and then every Tom, Dick and Harry Handjob on /v/ started screaming about needing 120fps.
>>cut out 1/3 of all the worlds
Game was priced accordingly
>>npcs talking in the back round way more than the original
Not as bad as people say, the vendors were the only ones who refused to shut the fuck up.
You could have at least talked about how they butchered Drek AND Nefarious, by removing the menace from Drek and removing Lawrence's banter with Nefarious, or the fact that most of the weapons were just rehashes from Future with great original weapons like the Visi-bomb and the Tesla Claw being left out, and with the Combuster and Warmonger replacing old weapons because they were so lazy when it came to modelling the weapons that they re-used the RYNO IV skin on a weapon that functioned like the RYNO VII and played the song from the RYNO V.
But you didn't mention those things, because you don't give a shit about the game and probably the series because your big three bullet points were shit that has been thrown around and shot down in other threads, so you probably just saw those and thought "OH BOY, NOW WHEN I JUMP INTO A THREAD AND SAY A GAME IS SHIT, I CAN REPEAT THESE!"

That was one of the few scenes that I found to be funny. Most of the movie I feel like they completely missed the point of Ratchet and Clank. We didn't get much banter with the duo, and overall I thought it was pretty bad movie.
It's a shame really, all they had to do was take the cutscenes from Ratchet and Clank 1, clean them up to make it work as a coherent movie and I would've been happy.
>>336205074
Only way the game would have failed is if a b-team had done it or they got a phone game maker like Konami did to make it.

Most of the movie didn't have Ratchet and Clank in the same frame.
Drek had way too much screen time and Stallone's character basically took over what Qwark should have been doing. Not to mention the fact that a good chunk of the movie was dedicated to Qwark's betrayal, which felt stupid as fuck when you try to spin it in a sympathetic light instead of Qwark just being a sell out.
Ratchet's character arc in this film is basically done within the first 30 minutes of the film. He wanted to become a hero and a galactic ranger, and he accomplishes that quickly, leaving the rest of the movie serving no purpose for having Ratchet to do shit. So it turns into a Qwark movie. And don't get me started on how Clank barely appears in the film.
It sounds like I'm whining about Captain Qwark, but I like him in the film. Jim Ward nailed every scene despite the material being awful. This movie was just completely unfocused with a lack of a real plot, any real character development or decent jokes. Every other scene was some joke about social networks, texting, or some slapstick humor that doesn't belong and goes on way too long. It's like a series of skits they were trying to make for youtube, but they forgot that the movie they were making was based off something and that they paid Paul, Rosario, Stallone and the rest of the cast way too much money to only use them in bit parts.
>>336206075
That pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about the movie.
>>336206525
what are these semen demens from?
Sony Pictures never had any faith or interest in this movie. They basically said "yeah whatever" and left it to struggle in the dark without any supervision during production or marketing, and surprise surprise, it will probably be lucky to make back even half of whatever miniscule budget it might have had.
It's clear that the studio was in over their heads and they didn't have an experienced showrunner for a theatrical project. The movie clearly wanted to be appealing to kids while also winning over the adult fans, and ultimately they didn't know how and ended up just being a kiddy movie with lots of references to the franchise that only older fans will understand.
There's not really any reason why this movie should be bad. It comes down to the fact that they had a bad script and there was no adult in the room to say "hey guys, maybe we should do this over." You don't need to have incredible animation if you have a great script, but this movie had neither.
>>336204194
the funny thing is that R&C has always had stupid puns like that, but typically those puns are just sprinkled over a game chock-full of clever quips and great bantz
the movie doesn't have any of that though until very very late in the movie, and in both the movie/game it's just super tame by R&C standards.
So why is everyone bagging the animation studio? The cutscenes and animations look really good.
What's the problem?

>>336183550
That was most of the movie. I thought it was weird too but after Clank crawling inside Ratchets asshole and dancing around it was a welcome change.
Most video games don't have amazing stories. The story isn't the point. The point is playing them. The point is the interactive bit, not the narrative bit.
>>336207924
>Sony Pictures had no involvement
Well yeah, there's where the problems all started. Sony wanted nothing to do with a movie based on one of their most popular in-house IPs and sold it off to another studio who made it on a shoestring budget and hardly marketed it.
And to add insult to injury, this movie made significantly LESS money in its opening weekend than the studio's only other theatrical release, Escape from Planet Earth. That movie opened with $15 million and went on to make a "whopping" $57 million total, while Ratchet and Clank opened with $5 million and will probably be gone from theaters in a week.
This whole thing was a cock up and I don't know if Sony is even aware of it because they had so little involvement. They see the game getting glowing reviews and selling like wildfire, and probably forgot that there was also a movie coming out, let alone know that it was panned by critics and ignored by audiences. The budget it was made on must have been downright negligible if no-one seems to care that it's flopping so badly.
>>336208836
Good marketing can save a bad movie, but no marketing kills both good and bad movies alike. Movies don't sell themselves, and if your movie is already weak then to not market it is basically to disown it.
>>336181350
It sucks that this movie sucked. It had the makings of something that could've actually been good. It was animated and had the original voice cast and original writers of the Future Trilogy. What was actually so bad about this? I'm still contemplating seeing it.

Mainly the new characters. They're like wooden planks.
The humor for the most part is very on-par with the series. Some jokes miss the mark, but the ones that stick are pretty good.
>>336209346
>original writers of the Future Trilogy
Nope. Fixman left the project 2 years ago.
Was watching the Angry Joe review of the movie and he said that the movie was exactly the same as the game, even reusing all of the cutscenes between the two.
What the point of the movie if its all of the cutscenes pasted together?
>>336209608
New characters were just shit. Understandable that Quark is a meat head but both the new characters plus trying to turn ratchet into one? Come on
>movie goes out of its way to stress that no one was actually getting hurt by any of these evil shenanigans in an attempt to make nefarious seem pure evil compared to drek

The most clever joke is ironically the callback to R&C3 with Elaris taunting people in UYA multiplayer.
>>336193713
Even though the movie was probably only made for a few million dollars and was buried within the cost of making the game, I can't imagine why Sony thought that this was a good plan. Ratchet and Clank, let alone Sony's other classic IPs, could have been an entire movie franchise if they had done it the right way. Basically all they used this movie for was to have an excuse to put a commercial for the new game in theaters in front of a few movies, and no-one is even watching the movie itself. Just the distributing of a movie around the world like this isn't cheap, and that money would have been better spent on just marketing the game.
This franchise had one shot at transitioning into media outside of video games, and frankly i'm still surprised it even got that chance in the first place. And they completely blew it, not just for Ratchet and Clank, but also for Sly Cooper and possibly even Jak & Daxter, because with the way things are going I highly doubt anyone is going to fork over the money to finish Sly Cooper, even though I thought the initial teaser looked promising.
What hurts the most is that on paper, doing an R&C movie sounded great, and it looked promising even though it was clearly being done on a much smaller budget than Disney or Pixar-- and it could have opened the doors for other video games to be adapted into movies. Unfortunately, they had a bad script and no marketing, and thus the movie was doomed before it even got out the gate. It got completely ignored because audiences don't have time to watch an animated movie with bad reviews.
>>336209901
So they do imply he goes robo in the movie?
>>336204725
Well it's not hard to fuck up a remake of a game where the biggest flaw in the original was the gameplay itself in comparison to the R&C games that came after it.
The original had better plot, character development, OST, and way more levels/content than the remake. It even ran in 60FPS.
Nexus was the last attempt at IG making a mainline Ratchet game and it felt painfully average. I honestly think it's the worst mainline Ratchet game.
>>336210285It's the ending after the cast credits
>>336210285
It's an after-credit scene that shows robots working on him, and then he comes out of the rubble as his robot version.
It also had a little quip that made me chuckle "(Like you didn't see this coming)"

>>336210348
Plot of the original was barebones as fuck, man. It wasn't any better than the film, which at least tries to make things more emotionally packed, even if flounders in its execution and indecision regarding how the characters grow from scene to scene. And who cares about the framerate? The remake runs just fine with no dips.
As for Nexus, that was by their b-team with probably a few of the A-team members since around that time they had been doing everything from Fuse to Sunset overdrive along with ITN.
>>336210535
Why do people always call movies like this "soulless cash grabs" when historically they don't actually grab any cash? To be a cash grab, wouldn't it have to make money rather than losing it? Aren't they more like cash dumps?
>>336181350
I like how all the characters but Quark are far more bland, infantile, and less funny! Ratchet went from making fun of Al for being a nerd, to being a nerdy, wide-eyed kid himself.
>>336210549
Only in certain parts. The overall plot still plays out the same, they just happen to have their own scenes between them along with some shared scenes that are longer/shorter in the other.
>>336194254
Shave before you leave the fucking house, that's what I did. I ain't going to a video game movie looking like some mangy motherfucker.
>>336210661
>who cares about framerate
Opinion discarded
>>336185209
Not really, it just released too close to Alien and was a victim of otherwise irrelevant comparisons.
>>336210721
Look at the trailer and tell me that Sony should have released this movie in theaters.
At most this should have been a direct-to-dvd movie.
>>336210721
Because it was made to make a quick buck as cheaply as possible. Just because it failed doesn't change how it was made.
>>336210803

>>336210846
Why do people keep going on like the CG is all that bad? It's up there with most of the better CG films, certainly leagues above what Rainmaker has done before. Then again, their other works were all cheap shit like the failed Max Steel continuation and Barbie films that literally nobody expects to have a budget for.
>>336185172
What the fuck does this even mean?
Hold on, wasn't Qwark killing Nefarious one of the major things that made him famous? Which lead to him becoming a robot. So did they just never meet or something?
>>336210894
>who cares about framerate
great argument yourself
>>336211087
This is supposed to be his new origin story.
And technically it still works. Quark probably claimed he was the one who destroyed the Deplanetizer, thus "killing" Nefarious.
>>336210915
30fps and 60fps really don't matter as long as either are stable, which the game is. Christ, it's people like you who make it impossible for any kind of worthwhile discussion to be made when you just discard the valid opinions of others because they aren't conforming to your fucking asinine standard.

>>336211247
>60fps
>asinine standard
No an asinine standard would be 120 fps. A game not even reaching 60 in current year on more powerful hardware that's a remake of a game that came out 11 years ago that ran at 60 is a very valid criticism
>>336211429
And yet the remake plays just fine, look at that.
>>336211068
>my kid liked it, but remember kids are dumb, so take it with a grain of salt.
Not that hard, anon.
>>336211241
That's lame, Qwark bullying a kid in high school despite being 26 was one of my favourite jokes in UYA.
>>336211536
except it doesn't. The HD collection on ps3 is a better alternative as it runs at 60 fps, didn't have 7 worlds removed and doesn't remove a sizeable number of the original weaponry.
>>336211682
Except it does. And the worlds argument is moot because it's following the same overall story as the film, which didn't include any of the "cut" worlds either. Seriously, you're scraping the barrel for things that hardly affect the game itself as a solid entry in the series.
>>336211536
If you're willing to settle for a game that's "just fine" then all power to you.
But you can't ignore the lack (and even loss) of progress the series has made, both mechanically and technically.
>>336211773
What lack of progress? The remake includes all the control improvements from GC and on (strafing, weapon leveling) and the upgrade system of later titles. Hell, it even brought back the nonlinear level progression that had dropped out of the games after UYA.
>>336211762
Except it doesn't.
>cutting content because the movie doesn't feature it
>remake and movie have different scenes and don't follow each other 100%
That argument is moot
>still defending the loss of content despite the reason
I don't know about you but I would rather have the same amount of content a game 11 years prior had than less
>>336211762
Don't feed the FPS trolls anon! They're not worth paying attention to.
>>336210846
The animation in the trailers doesn't look bad, it just looks a lot less impressive now that Zootopia has spoiled us, and R&C was originally supposed to come out last year anyway. However, even though releasing it in 2015 might have been the difference bettween a 19% on RT and a 25% (which obviously, is negligable in the big picture), releasing it months ahead of the game would have harmed the game's sales, because the movie is not as good as the game and would have killed people's hype for it, which is probably why the release date had to flex around the game.
The thing is, there was barely any marketing for this movie, and the theatrical trailer failed to show that the movie was going to be anything more than yet another generic throwaway CG movie of which we've seen dozens over the last few years. And surprise surprise, that's what it was. If the movie had better writing they'd at least have more to work with in putting together a trailer, and if they had better writing they'd have a better end product which means the studio might have given them a bigger marketing push.
The problem is that they wanted to do a very ambitious idea of releasing a game and a movie at the same time, but even though they put a lot of effort into making a good game, they half-assed everything about the movie. If they weren't going to give it their best effort, they should have just made a game and saved the movie for when they could actually do it justice.
>>336210915
It's really nice that the art department has improved so much but really I don't like the look they've been going with.
I think Ratchet looks awful with his rounded soft proportions and that dumb fur, The PS2 route of just coloring the model fur colored looked fine.
I'm also a little butthurt that the extremely low poly pterodactyl that was in all three of the old games hasn't been in the new ones.
>>336210847
You'd think that the people calling these shots would eventually get a reputation in the industry for losing money, but every year we see tons of low-budget schlock getting made that no-one watches.
>>336211910
Even without the removed worlds, there's plenty of content to be had. You have plenty of collectibles in the cards and gold bolts, a ton of optional upgrades for the weapons, and all of that for a pretty reasonable price tag.
>>336212092
>and all of that for a pretty reasonable price tag.

To be fair, yes, Rainmaker has come a long way in terms of animation quality, but the script for this movie was just plain bad. The only way you can save a bad script in animation is if you completely floor people with visuals, and this movie doesn't do that. The animation is good enough that if the story was good, we'd happily accept whatever shortcomings it has, but they didn't pull that off. It's just an average video game movie.

Where did you get that webm anyways? I'm trying to find find the movie even if in shit quality because I ain't getting the movie over here in months and even then it's probably gonna be a shitty dub.
If the movie is as bad as people say I may as well watch it with the actual voices.

I loved this movie fuck you

Have to wonder what went down. While I know some people don't particularly like Fixman, his writing for the Future games was certainly not as chaotic as the film. Of course, most script writers ever manage to get their work into the film the way they originally sent it.

The bittersweet "I don't believe you" ending was what was awesome. The storybook ending was so generic it ruined the whole thing.

I recorded it myself.
The movie theater was empty.

Nope. There really wasn't anything else worth recording.

Huh, last I heard, he wasn't completely gone from Insomniac, just freelancing and able to do as he pleased instead of solely writing for them. Still, kind of hope he'll come back should they ever decide to make another game set in the original continuity. Can't help but feel like they will at some point given ITN barely felt like a proper conclusion.

Crap. I don't even care about the movie's quality anymore, I just wanna chalk up "I watched this movie" in things to do.
I hear stuff left and right about the quality, so i just wanna make my own opinion; Whatever it is good or bad. But fuck me if I'm gonna wait like 3 months for it to come out in my country, then have to wait the same amount for it to come out in dvd so I can actually watch the english version!
Waiting that long for what seems like a 7 or 6/10 at BEST ain't worth it.
So what about the female lombax?

I'd say just play the game if you can and read up whatever lengthy, detailed summaries of the film you can find that aren't just bitching but actually talk about scenes and the good/bad of them. There's bound to be something like that. And in a few weeks, there ought to be some decent scenes ripped onto youtube or some other place.

Angela? Probably getting plowed by a gaggle of lombax men in their new dimension. That, or sucking off Talwyn's dad every day.
>>336213171
I already played the game but I just wanna see the scenes that the game technically lacks, basically just wanna fill the full picture.
But I guess I'll just wait. Rips of scenes HAVE to come out soon, right?

From what I've gathered, most of what the movie shows is just Ratchet having some mishaps before becoming a ranger to showcase his recklessness (the driving school bit seen in a few trailers), Qwark's interation with Drek that leads to his betrayal (granted certain details are different that it doesn't completely fill in what the game doesn't show you), and Ratchet's brief retirement plays out differently.
On the bright side, if the Sly Cooper movie gets backburnered because this movie flopped, that at least might lay to rest questions about wether the next Sly Cooper game will be Sly 5 or a retelling of the first game the way R&C is. If there's no movie coming out, then that means the next game is less likely to be a reboot.I liked Sly 4 so fuck you if you were hoping for a reboot instead of Sly 5. I at least want to see the conclusion of the time travel arc before they do that.

I know what they are, but honestly, hearing about them and seeing them are a different thing.
I'm not thinking any of them are gonna be GOOD. I just want to see them.

I get the impression that it's ok, nothing to gush about, but hardly the worst offense in game to movie we've seen. If anything, it's like the Mortal Kombat movie, it captures a lot of the heart and spirit (and in the case of R&C, the visuals are pretty much spot on), but fails to be anything other than "a movie based on a game".
