Support NeoGAF

[TheSpaceBetween]

Damned if we do. Damned if we don't. Hah

Can't please everyone. I'll be pleased when we get a full length PS4 R&C. This will get a rent though.

 

[Chronology]

Not as long as ACIT or TOD, but definitely longer than Q4B, lots more side stuff to do, more / deeper weapons and stuff like challenge mode.

Wait, there's challenge mode? That's excellent; awesome to hear.

 

[jstevenson]

Kinda a bummer they said it was shorter than crack in time, but the price reflects that. Would be a hard pill to swallow if it was $60.

It's not intended as a "full" sixty dollar Ratchet game, as the blog notes. We think it's priced fairly for the amount of content in there. And the game is high quality

 

[Benzychenz]

No it's an actual Ratchet game. No lame co-op.

Gladiator managed to do both just fine.

 

[confuziz]

Damned if we do. Damned if we don't. Hah

I would love to have an option. I enjoyed the previous co-op Ratchet game with my gf. I understand this was not possible in this timeframe though.

 

[iratA]

Getting this Day 1, I've gotta support the return to Ratchet's roots. After playing the Jak and Daxter HD collection recently, I was reminded just how much fun these 3D platformers are. I'd love to see a Ratchet and Clank Universe using PS4 tech. *drools*

 

[jstevenson]

Cool, does it have space travel like ACiT or back to the older ways?

Not like ACIT where you have all of this space to explore. There are multiple planets though - parts of some which are mostly optional.

 

[kaching]

No co-op? Meh. No buy.

The vast majority of the series never had co-op...

Cool thanks James

You guys will be doing the inevitable PS4 movie tie-in game right?

 

[TheHater]

Based on the last 2 entry into the series, I have very very very little hope for this game.

For me, R&C is like Sonic. The first couple entry was amazing games but the series went downhill due to adding stupid and unwanted features/gameplay into the series.

How long to do everything the game has to offer? And what about a playable demo?

 

[Vashetti]

Gonna need a gif of Ratchet smacking the papers out of the guys' hands.

 

[confuziz]

I am well aware of that. But I rarely buy games these days that don't feature a co-op mode. (KZ3/R3/FIFA/Rayman origins/legends/BL2/Portal 2 etc.)

I imagine you'll be happily surprised then

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I stopped buying full price PS3 games for now since I'll want to just focus on PS4 stuff and FFXIV for the rest of the year...but Ratchet + $30 makes this a no brainer. Just gotta beat it in 3 days as I don't want to stop halfway through.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Please be good. After A4O and FFA...just please be good.

 

[Fox_Mulder]

So when is it coming to Xbox One?

 

[Impeccable]

Day one, I love me some Ratchet.

 

[Dinjooh]

Yea... Avatar change incoming.

 

[jayu26]

That's a shame. I really liked the optional space exploration, along with moon/asteroid platforming sequences in ACiT. That was probably my favorite part of the game. Having said that, I am looking forward to what you guys have planned for this game.

Do you know if the pre-order bonuses apply to the digital download version as well? Just curious!

 

[Suzzopher]

My wife, two eldest kids and I had a great time with AFO. Sure it wasn't anywhere near as good as ACIT, but it was great fun none the less.

 

[Ridley327]

Does anyone really need a demo for a traditional R&C at this point?

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Bought bought bought.

Although I wish there was a PS4 port, I'll have to keep both consoles plugged in during launch week.. Sony should really be mandating PS3 digital ports on the PS4 for all first party releases during the launch period, I think there would be a real boost in sales for all parties involved.

 

[March of the Crabs]

Was doing price changes at my work and a PS3 version AND Vita version both popped up (different SKUs too) so part of me wants to wait just in case, but at the same time I need some new R&C in my life...

 

[RPGCrazied]

Does anyone really need a demo for a traditional R&C at this point?

I guess not, but I do like to have the opportunity to try a game before I buy it.

 

[TheHater]

Damned if we do. Damned if we don't. Hah

You guys had fun co-op and multiplayer in R&C Gladiator.

I imagine you'll be happily surprised then

Heard the same thing about the last R&C game. Will not be fooled a second time.

 

[Jigolo]

Need the triple bundle. ToD, aCiT, and Nexus

 

[jstevenson]

Believe the armor will apply to PSN preorders as well, yes

Sounds good


Still waiting for a real sale on the Trilogy, I can't believe Americans got the whole thing for $7.50 while us Europeans got the games at €9 each.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

I am well aware of that. But I rarely buy games these days that don't feature a co-op mode. (KZ3/R3/FIFA/Rayman origins/legends/BL2/Portal 2 etc.)

Errr.. Then why exactly would you be looking at a franchise that has historically never had coop?

 

[Cornbread78]

Man, this is on my radar, but I have had a chance to play FFA yet, so maybe if/when this is announced for VITA too, I will play both on VITA. Wishful thinking, I know...

 

[Possum]

Believe the armor will apply to PSN preorders as well, yes

Alright, thanks! That armor is pretty freakin' sweeeet.

 

[confuziz]

Errr.. Then why the hell would you be looking at a franchise that has historically never had coop?

FFA and All 4 One had co-op right? I thought they would continue on this path. Never played a Ratchet game before that.

 

[HardRojo]

Totally getting this, man between Beyond, Puppeteer, R&C and rain one would think PS4 is a year or two away still.

 

[Bishop89]

So when is it coming to Xbox One?

should have been first post.


Will most likely get it. Ive bought every ratchet games, but was hugely disappointed with the last 2, glad this is heading back on track.

 

[TheRealTalker]

got to hand it to you guys... that was really an amusing video

 

[Fuzzy]

Man, this is on my radar, but I have had a chance to play FFA yet, so maybe if/when this is announced for VITA too, I will play both on VITA. Wishful thinking, I know...

You really don't want to play FFA on the Vita.

 

[Ridley327]

FFA and All 4 One had co-op right? I thought they would continue on this path. Never played a Ratchet game before that.

Considering both games are held up as the worst the series has to offer, you should probably get on the other titles ASAP.

 

[Nakazato]

any chance for a vita version for #yopo

 

[jstevenson]

Thanks. It was a fun one

 

[kaching]

I am well aware of that. But I rarely buy games these days that don't feature a co-op mode. (KZ3/R3/FIFA/Rayman origins/legends/BL2/Portal 2 etc.)

So do you go into every thread for games without co-op and announce that you're not buying them because of that?

 

[confuziz]

Considering both games are held up as the worst the series has to offer, you should probably get on the other titles ASAP.

I enjoy games more when I can play them with someone else. But this wasn't an answer to my question. I just assumed it would be co-op because of the last entries.

Your tag fits you well. Goodday sir.

 

[jstevenson]

We would love for there to be a Vita version. But it has to be up to the quality our fans expect and deserve

 

[Globox_82]

Day 1. Since it's Ratchet.

 

[Acquiescence]

Damned if we do. Damned if we don't. Hah

Don't listen to him; he doesn't know what he's talking about!

 

[Suzzopher]

Get Yosp on the blower to Blue Point.

 

[HYDE]

No co-op? Meh. No buy.

Thank goodness...good job Insomniac!

 

[Ulumsk]

Additionally, if you pre-order via Amazon.com, you’ll score a huge package of R&C-themed content for PlayStation Home – a value of roughly $30.

THE GAME IS PRACTICALLY FREE.


I'm really excited for this though. The last couple R&C left me heartbroken. Hopefully this is proof that still have what it takes to make great games.

 

[outunderthestars]

I respect that.

Can't wait to buy this game on Day one!

I wonder if the PSN version will have any bonuses for purchasing on day one?
