Ratchet & Clank PS4 is the fastest selling game to date in the series

Felt really good to play it. It wasn't as good as A Crack in Time, but then again few games are. The game wasn't as funny, the story wasn't as good, there wasnt much platforming and as much variety. And the Clank puzzles werent as good as the amazing Time stuff either. That doesn't mean it was bad. It was still really good, just not as good as A Crack in Time which was one of my favourite PS3 games.
I'm hoping with the next Ratchet game they won't have to coincide with a movie. I felt that held back the game somewhat.

It was a pretty good idea though, sharing the assets and splitting the cost between the game and movie. But I agree, I hope the next one is fully original!

I'm pleasantly surprised the demand for a linear 3D platformer is this high. Much-less R&C whose brand isn't exactly proving to be the talk of the town.
Well, I'm happy. Maybe this brings back other classic plaformers. Always looking for good games to play with the kids.

They can skip 2. I didn't much care for the Proto-Pet arc. And they've pretty much retconned Angela Cross out of existence anyway. I'd rather they get into the Lombax planet stuff and Ratchet's past and origin. Questions they STILL never addressed in all 7 mainline games.

The movie bombed though.
Might not get another one for a while.

And gloss over the best galaxy and best weapons corporation? Nah. I need to see my chainsaw spider robots in PS4 level prettiness.
Though I'd rather them just leave this continuity behind and do an ItN sequel.

Why would the movie performance nullify the great game sales?

Well the movie bombing is of no real financial concern for Insomniac and Sony, they didn't produce the movie, just licensed the IP. Gamers don't seem to care and keep buying the game.
Fuck yes! Hopefully this sends a clear sign to Sony that the franchise is healthy and deserving of a $60 stand alone entry. Insomniac did a great job with the game even while being chained to the movie's framework.
It helps that the game is a really good entry point for new or younger fans.

The price will be interesting going foreward. The game (and I assume the probable sequel) definately ''deserve'' a full price tag, 20$ less per copy is a lot of cash to lose. But it's impossible to know how big of a boost the 40$ tag gives. We already have seen with stuff like Puppeteer that it obviously doesn't automatically translate to sales. After such great sales there certainly will be a temptation to ask for a normal price for the sequel.
It also makes me wonder why Sony decided to launch something like LBP3 at full price when they have AFAIK taken the 40 dollar approach to all their recent kid games like Sly and Puppeteer. Knack being the another exeption I guess.
