Oh so Sunset Overdrive isn't XB1 exclusive? Interesting. You heard it here first, folks.
And I'm sorry, not trying to troll you jstev, but I find the whole thing a big bummer.

Some were, yes. ACIT was the last one to be 60fps.
Nope.
Because out of the 77 million PS3 owners, only a couple million of them will be buying the system right away?

Ratchet and Clank is a bone? Nah Ratchet and Clank is the meat. Its like Insomniacs mascot (sorry spyro) and what they are known for. I don't care of the rest of their games are all exclusives to XB1, as long as they continue making Ratchet and Clank they will still remain as one of my favourite devs.
I'm not interested in this game anymore.
Don't let that put you off, from what I hear they extensively replayed the Future Trilogy to make sure they got the same feel as the games had when they were made in Burbank.
Or at least see what reviews, and fellow Gaffers, says.
To be fair, the reason why A4O and FFA were bad was because they strayed way too far from what the series has been about. At worst, they're at least aping a familiar, successful template this time around.
Because the PS4 doesn't come out in the rest of the world until the 29th.

Everyone deserves some Ratchet in their lives.
Oh sweet, beers with James! See you in a few weeks.
Getting this day 1, can't wait to play it at Community day. Flight will be well worth it.
I sold my 360 and all my games and got all of them with a ps3 and few other games best decision i ever made

I just ordered a ticket for it. Really looking forward to it!
I'll buy you a beer of your choice.
So you feel that graphics are more important than gameplay? Is this Insomniac Games' official policy?
Aiming for 30 fps may allow you to make the game look better in screens, but in motion it's going to look so much worse than all of the other Ratchet games do on my TV, running at 60 glorious frames per second. Not to mention play worse, as well.
Preordering a game is really important to developers/publishers. The more people that pre-order the more they will print in a first run, the more retailers will want to advertise it/give it space in-store/online and the more budget the publisher will put towards marketing it. This ultimately leads to the game selling more, the developer and publisher making more money and a higher chance of newer, bigger and better games in the series.

Wonder how long it'll be? Old school Ratchet games were like 6-8 hours iirc.
Subjective.
Its longer than Quest For Booty but smaller than A Crack In Time. Hours it takes will vary wildly from person to person and what they consider complete. The game will have a challenge mode I believe so there should be a lot more replay value than Q4B, along with a deeper gameplay experience and multiple paths on planets.
If I was to guess I would say about 3-4 hours, that would put it somewhere between a small R&C game and a large R&C game, though there is probably many more hours entertainment there if you go for everything.
I know, but I also have my own finances to worry about.
It won't be $30 AU though so I'll see what our price is.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
I love Ratchet and Clank and at this point are really the only series left fulfilling my 3D Platformer needs. I just picked up Pupeteer so that should hold over until November.

This cannot be stressed enough.
That's fair enough, no one should buy a game if they can't afford it. It will probably be 40 AUS$ most places

I can't wait to live stream this. I hope it has some sort of timer ala FFA so speed runs will be fun to do. That was probably the best part of FFA, though I suppose due to the structure of that game it made a lot of sense. Still, cannot wait for this.
Thinking it'll be a 4 hour experience, and Insomniac will probably have some cool unlockables and trophies for the completionist in me, so I won't have to worry about getting my value out of it. Heck, at $30 I'd be good with just a 4-5 hour campaign.

My kids loved A4O and they would love another RC but not if they had to play alone, unfortunately. I know a lot of people wanted single player RC and didnt like A4O, but it was one of the few games that was family friendly.
I cant think of anything else like it, except for Rayman.
LittleBigPlanet(1/2 and soon HUB), Toy Story 3 (Can be 2 player in Toy Box Mode), Disney Universe, Lego games like Harry Potter and Pirates of the Carribean (2 Player)

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DIDNT MAKE AN UPREZZED PS4 VERSION OF THIS!?!?!
It seems like such a smart move. Make the graphics look better with a high resolution , some higher poly models and some newer effects and voila! A solid PS4 release.
Just putting it out on PS3 and not PS4 is dumb. If Sony wants to keep supporting PS3, then fine, but AT LEAST put the games out on PS4 too. If even, just a somewhat upscaled version of the same title.

I believe port-begging is bannable, not sure. Either way, it's unbecoming.
It's not easy to port PS3 games to PS4. It costs time and money.
Money they may never see a return on as the PS4 userbase is obviously going to be low to begin with.
They chose to go with PS3 as they are most familiar with that platform and the 80 million userbase cannot be ignored.
