New news, new thread

Directing the Ratchet & Clank movie is Kevin Munroe, who directed 2007's TMNT. The film is being developed by production companies Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment, alongside PlayStation and Insomniac Games.

Insomniac will have a "hands-on role" in the film's production, screenplay, character development, and animation consulting. In addition, Ratchet & Clank writer T.J. Fixman--who has written every Ratchet & Clank game--will pen the script for the film.

The movie is scheduled to hit theaters in 2016.

In addition to the Ratchet & Clank movie, Insomniac has announced a new Ratchet & Clank game for PlayStation 4. It's a remake of the 2002 PlayStation 2 original, and will have "new visuals that rival the best PS4 games on the market."

Where does this leave the game which we haven't seen a single screenshot or video of?

Nooooo

Pop · May 13, 2015

Game delay incoming

CriterionDog · May 13, 2015

Does this mean the remake was delayed?

Tucah · May 13, 2015

even video game movies are getting delayed into 2016

LiK · May 13, 2015

everything is delayed

SerTapTap · May 13, 2015

Shit. I guess game will probably be delayed to hit right along with the movie?

JCX · May 13, 2015

Everything was 2016

BadWolf · May 13, 2015

Dang it.

MaximumSpider · May 13, 2015

2016 will be the year of video game movies

dugdug · May 13, 2015

Dang, even Sony's movies are getting delayed.

I keed, I keed.

Xion_Stellar · May 13, 2015

Sly Cooper in 2017 than? Can't imagine Sony willing to have both out in the same year but we will have to see...imb4 where's my Jak and Daxter Movie?....

I'm guessing the movie was delayed to give the Game more time? Surely time taken to make movie is more of a Predictable known quantity compared with games?

Natureboy99 · May 13, 2015

Not surprising since we have heard next to nothing on this. Hopefully it means higher quality on both the Movie and the Game.

The Praiseworthy · May 13, 2015

So I think that means the game is also delayed because they were planning to release both of them at the same time so one can boost the other.

Krakn3Dfx · May 13, 2015

Getting out of the way of that Adam Sandler epic, Pixels, no doubt.

Icyflamez96 · May 13, 2015

Well that probably means the game got delayed. I'm good with that. So much stuff got cut from Crack in Time and had a really short development time in general. I want to see this game real fleshed out.

Philippo · May 13, 2015

inb4 "Sony get your shit together you have no 1st party games!"

The movie is completely finished, and due to be shown at Cannes in two days.

Presumably this is because of some issue with the game.

Auctopus · May 13, 2015

Please don't delay the game.

Of course it is. No way they don't launch the game at the same time.

I-hate-u · May 13, 2015

And so will the game then.

LX_Theo · May 13, 2015

Delaygate

Sorry that wasn't funny.

Diablo Rosso · May 13, 2015

I bet the game is the reason for this. We haven't seen anything from that so I guess Sony feel it's best to launch them together.

Hexa · May 13, 2015

The game is definitely going to get delayed too.

2017 is gonna be a great year for video games.

Seems like it.
Honestly I would say good call because this year is tough competition with Inside Out and Minions both being big releases.

Spring-Loaded · May 13, 2015

A delayed movie is eventually good. A bad movie is bad forever

Enter the Dragon Punch · May 13, 2015

Aren't they supposed to show it at the Cannes film festival in the next day or two?

krae_man · May 13, 2015

How much more can that game get delayed? What else is Insomniac working on?

Kenzodielocke · May 13, 2015

Guys, it's the movie, not the game.

There's also The Good Dinosaur

Shredderi · May 13, 2015

There's no way they're not releasing the movie and the game in quick succession so I'm banking on the game being delayed also. For fuck's sake. Is it just me paying much more attention to games being delayed this year compared to other years or have we just heard exceptionally lot of delays this year in general?

LX_Theo · May 13, 2015

They're linked to their very concept. They will release around the same time.

JumPeRJumPzZ · May 13, 2015

Its really weird that we havent seen anything from the PS4 game.

Not even a Key Art or Concept Art.

Tizoc · May 13, 2015

Going Commando
Up your Arsenal
Kick some asteroid

This series fam XD

farisr · May 13, 2015

Well there goes that theory (Ratchet being the first party ps4 title for the holidays to go alongside the movie)

GamerJM · May 13, 2015

Game delay too then.....

The only PS4 games I'm getting for the rest of the year now are Tearaway and Persona >_>.

Sephiroth_GR_ · May 13, 2015

The game was supposed to release along with the movie for marketing reasons and to help sales.

pixelation · May 13, 2015

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOESSSS!!!

Not my most anticipated game of the year!!!

Jstevensooooooooooon!!!

Man-is-Obsolete · May 13, 2015

You could sort of see the writing on the wall. I take this as good news, however, especially with the recent voice cast announcement. Before I thought they were just going to send this straight to home video and VOD, but now it seems like all parties involved have seen this has potential and are moving it out to make invest more into it.

This likely does mean the game is delayed and same effect really for it as well.

Better be the next game in the series if there is another project.

Mr. Sunny · May 13, 2015

I just imagined them remaking the original Ratchet & Clank with this ugly ass art style.

*PUKES*

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
