Apparently the main story takes a little over 5h, which is comparable to the other main R&C entries. Hopefully this one's as good as ACiT!

OP, I am mildly disappointed that you didn't do this:

I'm so ready for this. Ratchet and Clank was easily my favorite franchise on the PS2 and I can't wait to see what they've done with it here.

While I'm not getting this at launch due to not owning a PS4, I plan on getting this alongside my PS4 this June :).

Can't wait to play this and I hope everyone enjoys the game a lot when it comes out this Tuesday :D!

I keep buying R&C games and only playing the first couple of hours before I get distracted from the strafing shooting gameplay and do something else in my life, then I completely forget about the game. Then again, I have a huge problem finishing games these days.

Then a new one comes out and I get sucked into buying it and feel the same. I still haven't played Crack in Time, though.

Maybe this one will be the one to win me over.

Now the question is: do I wait for EU release to get a physical copy or download it on the US store? I have every mainline game in physical so it would be kinda nice to get this one too, but the waait arghnfnf..:/

Excuse moi? I don't know how I feel about this. I guess God of War is about that length and still amazing, but you gotta have great pacing and variety to pull of a 5 hour action game.

One person blitzed through, that's all this is being based on (I believe)

I wonder if the next R&C game will be a reimagining of Going Commando or if they'll continue the story from Into the Nexus.

It's about the same or longer than past R&C games, and for a fraction of the price. If you play through the game normally doing side stuff as well, it should take 10+ hours for your first playthrough. Don't forget the New Game+ mode with new weapons to buy.

So in total it'll take 15-20 hours to complete I reckon.

Nice OT! The media section doesn't quite fit on my resolution though?

I'm hyped for this and I'm getting it for my lil bro too. Shame I have to wait for the UK release :(

What do they perceive it to be? An HD remaster or a sequel?

It's apparently a retelling of R&C1 from Quark's perspective.



You sure? I don't recall piloting a ship in R&C1.

I didn't hear about the Quark perspective. All I heard its a Remake.

It's had one space flight
Against Quark

WOW

This game is gorgeous

It is too bad that I don't have a PS4. I have played the original trilogy on PS2 and they were some of my favorite games
