Paging all posters that thought the 30fps would kill sales. Your crow is ready.
did you miss Sunset Overdrive or Song of the Deep, or Resistance or FUZE orrrr..

I cant imagine any of them are going to sell like Ratchet, and now everyone is clammering for more Ratchet even though they have around a dozen Ratchet games already.
I fell bad for Insomniac I imagine they want to move on from Ratchet and now everyone at the office is like.
Huh, Im not sure you are talking seriously. They have like 5 games releasing in 2016, and Ratchet was mostly developed at their secondary studio in North Carolina
I meant it kinda like Radiohead and "Creep" where I imagine at some point they feel done with it even though everyone wants them to play the same damn song even its really good.
They should make Half-Life 3
I doubt they expect them to sell like Ratchet, but that shouldn't really stop them from making new games.
Yeah, need to retcon that 3 ending.

Love the game, but it has it's share of issues:
- length wise it was pretty short for a non-spinoff Ratchet title
- there was ZERO conflict between Ratchet and Clank, they're just BFFs from the moment they meet
- speaking of Clank, it feels like he barely has any character or dialogue in this one? Something was off with the way he was handled, he used to be so sassy
- Ratchet was really independent in the originals, and a real smartass with character growth. Not so much in this game
- Drek was turned into a useless dork
- way too much screen time for Captain Quark. Do people actually like this guy?
- why isHis original design is WAY better.Dr. Nefarious organic now?
Crack in Time is still the pinnacle of the Ratchet series and it's starting to look more and more like they'll never get to that level again.
I do agree about the relationship starting out with Ratchet and Clank, it felt a bit to quick in the remake when in the first game, Ratchet was abrasive as hell. But still a good game though.

Released in a pretty good window. May is going to have some bombs as its over packed.

Nice.
Had a great time with it. Gorgeous, fun, and just what these consoles need more of.

I did my part. I wonder how Sunset Overdrive did compared to this.

The general feeling I'm getting is that it's a good game but it's more of a movie tie-in game than a proper reboot/remake of the original game? Am I close?

I tried to buy it twice, and it was sold out both times. I figured that was a good sign!
It's a full length, well polished game with a lot of replay value. Never played the original but it certainly didn't feel small or incomplete.

yeah, I hope we aren't missing sales due to that. We do have a strong amount in digital which may have been caused by the shortages
Being a good game that looked bonkers graphically worked well too.
Honest trailers did a video on it and while it's pretty bad it said one thing that was true, that the game allows you to enjoy the real R&C before it gets smeared with all the new pop culture references.
Just watch a trailer and you'll see they are quite run of the mill with your usual CGI cartoon music and such.

Been a diehard Ratchet fan since day 1. I hope Sony and Insomniac are fast tracking a sequel. I need one.

I hope you're paying attention Sony.
Give me an Ape Escape 4, Crash BandiReboot, Knack 2, and Ratchet and Clank 2.
Give me reasons to throw over $200 at you.

Are you kidding? I can't decipher the sarcasm anymore.

Yeah people complaining about it clearly didn't pay attention in the old games.

This game offers a really nice blend of platforming and third-person shooting. It also looks great. More please.
I'm thinking that maybe this breaks the top eight or so in NPD, which would be very nice.

Just got the Platinum Trophy, so happy for Sony and Insomniac. Hopefully this means more Ratchet PS4 goodness.

It's been my companion to the Vive.Very much deserved. This has been a great contrasting companion alongside Dark Souls III. I really don't want it to end lol.
That Puppeteer talk has me
The oldest of school platforming...to the newest tech. Great mix.
Gutted I'm at the end. Definitely gonna carry on with challenge mode!
Its a full game and a proper remake. The story is just somewhat disjointed because of having to accommodate the movie, which sucks

They deserved it with Sunset Overdrive too.
They've put in some quality work this gen.

OHHH YEAHHH!!!
I remember debating that with someone. I tried to tell them that it was irrelevant but he/she insisted otherwise. It was a given but yeah. Eat up that crow!
