Come to think of it did Ratchet and Clank every have a shotgun? I really cant remember.

This one here looks awesome.

R&C - No Shotgun
R&C 2 - Blitz Gun
R&C 3 - Shock Gun
R&C GM - Defragmenter
RD - Magma Cannon
R&C SM - Concussion Gun
SAC - Shard Gun
R&C ToD - Shard Reaper
R&C Q4B - No Shotgun
R&C ACiT - Constructo Shotgun and Sonic Eruptor?
R&C A4O - No Shotgun
R&C FFA - Sonic Eruptor?
R&C ITN - Temporal Repulsor


So most R&C games have had a shotgun type weapon =P
 
I will watch it later today but those screenshots fill me with childlike joy. I am so ready for this game! I feel like playing my older R&C games now. How do they make the RYNO even mightier? And can we get the Rainbow Afrolizer?

Well I feel silly now haha.
 
Makes me wonder how good this would have looked on the ps4. Looks real good

I don't think that it would look immensely better. Probably a bit better lighting and nicer particle effects but I don't think you'd notice much of a difference in the environments and character models.

I think Ratchet and Clank on the PS3 looks good enough. We don't need big graphical leaps, we need games like "Into the Nexus" to become affordable enough to develop so we can see more of them and more variety.

Didn't we learn this lesson the hard way during the current console cycle?

How many more developers do we need to see fall for the pursuit of the best possible graphics?

Give us more fun games that meet sane development budgets instead of crazier budget super-high-fidelity neutered AAA roller-coaster rides. That's why I want.

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

Will you please pull any strings, and make however many calls necessary to please get Quest For Booty on the disc also for us Americans? I will love you forever.

My physical collection is incomplete without it.

Last nitpick:
Can you guys please call it Ratchet & Clank Future: Into the Nexus? As to let others know it's not of the same caliber of All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault.

This looks amazing, will buy but still dreaming about what a PS4 Ratchet will look like :(

Fixed that for you. R&C Is one of Sony's biggest franchises and has a movie coming out in 2015. There will be a PS4 R&C, probably by Insomniacs North Carolina studio who are likely putting out these shorter games while building up their tech for PS4.

way back in the day, we actually submitted a disc version of Q4B through format QA and had it approved for NA.

nothing has come of it, but discs can be pressed for that game.

My hope is we might get a Future trilogy bundle pack at some point, where you can get TOD/Q4B/ACIT for 40-60 bucks or whatever, and it would come with three discs.

R&C looks like a natural fit on PS3-level tech. The game has a look that ages well at this level of visual fidelity. Not to say I wouldn't appreciate a PS4 port at least, but I don't think the series really needs to push the visual envelope at this point.

Dude you shame me. I salute your knowledge of Ratchet and Clank.

This is Sony's call isn't it? Alright time to twitter @yosp.

Can't argue with more traditional R&C.

Same with J&D...come on ND just one more. Make it PSN if that is at all allowed.

JstevenSan contact ND and tell 'em you guys will do it justice with your love for the series (I am assuming of course;)
 
30fps is perfectly playable. Plus, Ratchet & Clank isn't the kind of game that would benefit much from increased framerate.

Tell that to the older games in the series. They were divine at 60.

I want to use that new "Shotgun" dammit! Also wondering about that box of nightmares. I was a big fan of Mr. Zurkon and this seems to be Zurkon and then some.

That would really kick ass. (Though I still wish Q4B had a NG+ option.) I'd totally double-dip.

Game looks gorgeous, by the way.

Looks incredible. Inventive yet familiar. I'm pre-ordering it the first chance I get.
Disappointed at the frame rate though. 60FPS in action games is worth any graphical sacrifice, it actually improves gameplay and makes the game so much easier on the eyes.
Too bad Insomniac just ditched that ever since A4O.
 
This game, along with the other PS3 entries, are primary reasons why I'm debating buying a PS3 over a PS4. Those screenshots look so good. The game in motion is so rich I feel like I'm missing the fidelity.

Please do not let me serve on a jury. I am actually a crazy person.

That should be a no contest, really. PS3 has a incredible library, and if you don't get one before the PS4, you'll miss out :)

Looks shiny. Gotta love classic R&C.
Now, if we could get some J&D too, i'd be set :(

Yeah I'm also wondering why the word Future isn't in the title, considering this game continues that story.

Would this mean we could get the TOD, Q4B trophies?
