Twenty bucks sound pretty good. Man, I need a bigger vita card.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
This game...
I don't know, the beta felt so strange. And i'm not talking about the fortress defending and multi-player, but everything felt different. Shooting, collecting bolts, smashing, Ratchet's "new look" and heck even walking, it all felt so different. That's the case in every game but not like this. Not this extreme.
And i'm not sure I like it.
Is it made by a different team? I don't really follow that kinda stuff, but it certainly feels that way.
But hey, it's a Ratchet game! So i'm probably going to buy it and enjoy every single minute. Crossbuy is cool!
And that price, ahw man. Can't complain about that.

It has been too long since I've bought an Insomniac game. Looks like I'll have a reason to hang my James Stevenson portrait back on the wall.

same price.
Retail is PS3. You then can download to your Vita through a new OS-level system that handles cross-buy games if you buy the PS3 disc

was it just the lock-strafe controls being standarded now? ie more like a third person shooter? I know that's thrown a few people
Is there any way you could tell us how big the digital version will be on Vita? I need to know if I'm going to need to get a 16gb card on day 1 or if I can hold off for a while.

Sailor Stevenson
not sure yet.
More like LOL.
But I had a blast with it during the Beta. Definitely a must buy for me. High level play gets hectic really quick.

Goooo on....
Just purchased Ratchet collection ( all new btw), Jak collection, Gow Origins collection and Red Dead Undead. Ratchet collection was the most expensive one. So it is nice to see this price, but I just know this won't be as special as ACIT. Probably smaller budget.
jstevenson I hope you can answer. Did ACIT sell poorly or what? Most of ratchet fans agree that it was a special game.

Eh it's not that important anyway. I'm going to have to get a 16 or 32gb card eventually.
It sounds like they've made it so the PS3/PSN will notice when you're playing a cross buy game and enable you to get the Vita version for free.
How it distinguishes between used and legitimate new purchases though I have no idea. Probably a code.
I participated in the beta for this game. I know that the beta is different from the final depiction of the game but I seriously hated the direction they went with this game. Its not ratchet and clank, its more of a MOBA with ratchet and clank elements. More emphasis on the MOBA. This is coming from a fan who actually enjoyed All 4-one (less than the others but I still found it great) though, so you might want to check the game out yourself.
Skipping out on this, even if there is cross buy; but definitely looking forward to sly and ps allstars.
EDIT:I should have noted that I only played a 1vs1. 2vs2 wouldn't work for me for some reason. Dunno why. But it might be worth checking out the co-op and other modes, wasn't aware there were modes.

ACIT did pretty well. The nice thing about Ratchet games is even if you don't see them chart, they are there just quietly selling games year-round.
We always want them to do better, and it certainly had more competition than Tools did, but we're still happy with the performance

Will buy another PSN card then, reserved the one I have for Okami HD.
Agreed. Though I wouldn't say its tower defense. It plays more like a TPS-MOBA (which is kinda tower defense) but some matches can be excruciating

Will support R&C especially with YOPO. Playing the PS2 classics has me wanting more Ratchet.
It'll be 30FPS. Insomniac don't do 60FPS anymore.
E: upon reading the post again it seems it's a YOPO where it works any way around.

Why on earth is the PS3 version the only one that's cross-buy? That doesn't really make much sense to me. Is the Vita version cheaper or something?

is this another one where the cross-buy only works when you buy the PS3 version? If so, surely the PSVita version is cheaper?
There probably isn't a Retail Vita SKU.

I tried getting into the beta and couldn't. Did GAF enjoy it?
Well according to redsungamer when they tried the UMD trade in thing they could only use each UMD once so there had to be some kind of unique ID attached to each disk. I don't know why there couldn't be something similar on the PS3 disk so that whatever account you log in as when the disk is first inserted, that account gets credited a Digital version of the Vita game. That rules out people trading the Vita version.
Not sure how they would have any UID on a printed disk though.
Regardless, more cross buy is excellent.
Yeah i know. But if the only way it works is "Buy PS3 version, get Vita version free" it makes me think the Vita version should be cheaper.
If Vita version is the same price you should be able to buy the Vita version and get downloadable PS3 version free.
For stuff like All Stars it will probably be PS3 version $60, Vita Version $40. Cross buy only with PS3 version.
If a cross buy game comes out with both retail versions being the same price, I would think you could get cross buy would be available with both versions. However, why would you buy a 4gb Vita game on a card, with a code to download a 10gb PS3 game?

On PSN you just buy it and you get both, regardless of which platform.
It's a bonus, not part of the whole offer. Same thing at retail, you're getting the PS3 game and the Vita ver is a bonus.

Is there a campaign to this game or is it just a series of maps/matches?

eh... don't get too worried about it being hyper tower-defense and crappy. It's fun and action packed, you get to explore the battlefields on hoverboots, you get to fight tons of enemies, and there is a story.
worst case, you're out 20 bucks and you can sell your disc to recover some of that.
It's still action-Ratchet gameplay

Is this a PSN only game? Seems awfully cheap.....might buy it if reviews are good.
No one has asked this so I will, does it have a platinum trophy?
LIES. If I don't see them charting on an NPD, MC, or EU thread, that means they don't sell at all and are bombas and that's that
EDIT: Not a PSN only game. Wow.

As a huge R&C fan, I would love to get this, but I really wasn't feeling the beta. I very much dislike the tower defense elements, and that's the biggest aspect of the game. I wanted classic R&C gameplay. But I do hope there are those who enjoy it.
Who's doing the Vita conversion, by the way?

One thing I missed from ACiT was being able to throw the wrench while hover booting.
By the way James, any idea when we'll see some Vita footage?
