It's nice to have classic Ratchet back. The game looks great to me. Hoping they release a story trailer as well.

New batch of screenshots!

The Ratchet & Clank models don't look very good to me and the physics seems to have changed but this gameplay pleases me a lot.
I'm also hearing "thugs for less" loved them back in R&C2.

Any information about the length of the game?

Looks good, but really needs an fps bump, looks below thirty.... well either way in Insomniac we trust, im sure they will get it figured out by release

shorter than A Crack in Time or Tools of Destruction. Much longer than Quest For Booty or Full Frontal Assault

Damn I got quoted by a R&C dev, I'm honored o_o
thanks for the info, I'm sure the models will grow on me and I'm looking forward to see more of this game, been a longtime fan. Good luck with the development over there!

Always wondered -- was Quest for Booty by a different development team or were certain key members missing? For whatever reason I absolutely hated that one. Everything felt off.

Will pick-up Nexus assuming it's from the Crack team.

Pretty excited for this. I just want a new R&C. Wish it was full length but longer (and better) than Q4B and FFA is better than nothing.

Looks like i was expecting. I'm particularly liking the look of this 'abandoned world' just looks lovely. I'm hoping it feels more alive like ToD/ACiT rather than rather barren like Q4B, but either way I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

nope. that was a core group from TOD that went on to be one of the core groups for ACIT

Yeah I'm sold. I mean I was going to get it anyway since it's traditional Ratchet but now I feel a little better on the game. This should have been in the conference!

Holy crap, yes. I'm liking what I'm seeing here, and hearing that it's more like TOD/ACiT and less like the last few Ratchet games is excellent news. Here's to hoping there's a big PS4 Ratchet game on PS4.

Looks fantastic! Hey Insomniac, I better see Ratchet & Clank next gen from you guys a couple of years down the line. You must.

Man I really need to get round to getting the PS3 Ratchet and Clack game, but I will totally pick it up.

Unless Sony does me a huge favour and release a collection containing the Future trilogy and Into the Nexus. ;)

Thank you Insomniac. We've been waiting for this.

Now PLEASE give us some extra difficulty modes that are ACTUALLY challenging. Leveling up your weapons is tons of fun, but since even the hardest difficulty becomes a cakewalk after you are decently leveled, a lot of the fun is sapped away.

Even something as making the enemies have higher health or do more damage would be good enough. You shouldn't feel invincible on the highest difficulty setting, regardless of how leveled you are.

Looks pretty awesome actually. Will get it. Hope it lives up to the quality from tools of destruction and crack in time. Wish I could play it on the ps4.

It's looking great. I can't wait to see some of the wacky ideas that they came up with based around manipulating gravity.
 
Looks okay.
Using the gravity gun thing to move around the levels is cool, sure, but wouldn't it be cooler if you could just use it and not only when there were HUGE signs to do so? There's barely anything added with the way it seems to be right now. It's basically just going from platform to platform, you aren't really controlling anything...
Turning enemies into snowmen is again, very cool, but how much is really being added? We've done the animals and stuff like this before.
Everything just looked like, I don't know, exactly what you would expect.

Don't get me wrong, I do still like it. I'll probably get and enjoy it. But to me, the Clank parts where he controls gravity were some of the most appealing parts of that video. I want to see some innovation with the series, because I really do like it a lot.

Clank's Nether levels are pleasing to see. Finally got a semi-followup to the Qwark vidcomics.

And Brian A. mentioning sphere worlds in the walkthru - too much to hope for that they're back?

Pretty sure most of te last couple games had a shotgun like weapon.

Love ratchet games, never plate FFA tho. But I'll get this one
