Nice OT

Never played the original R&C, but I loved ACiT (the only one I've played) and for $32 after Prime discount I can't go wrong.

 

[timmyp53]

That is amazing...but do the facial expressions seem rather...muted, compared to the PS2 version (or, perhaps, just my memory of the original).

....my god, that is the most pretentious thing I've ever posted on GAF.

 

[Megauap]

Can anyone confirm that we can select a hard difficulty on the first playthrough?

Dansgaming showed the options menu and he was playing on hard for the first playthrough.

 

[sock]

Hmm my preload is still not working. Hopefully fixed by tomorrow :|

Mine is borked, too. I've downloaded the preorder theme 15 times trying to get it to work yesterday and today.

I had to stop watching the streams. This game looks so good I can't bear to spoil any more of it for myself.
LONG LIVE THE LOMBAX.

Yeah, I'm glad this franchise is still around. One of the few PS2-era mascot series to survive to this day.

 

[yongeandcollege]

Can't wait. Never played the original but played the PS3 games. Looking forward to this.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I can't wait!

 

[Green Yoshi]

Not this comment again

Did someone already mention it's from the studio that made Fuse? ;-)

 

[Bandit1]

Already preordered, can't wait!

 

[Death Metalist]

*raises eyebrow*

 

[family_guy]

Anyone know if this has new game plus like some of the other games in the series?

 

[SictorVullivan]

There are trophies for challenge mode so yes it's still in there.

 

[PlatypusDude]

Challenge mode is in so yup should be.

 

[FelipeMGM]

I guess is better to wait to buy when the preload thing is working properly right?

He's right if he's comparing the pre rendered cutscenes of the PS2 games to some of the in game cutscenes of this game. (The ones that don't use complex scripted animations). The PS2 games didn't use in game cutscenes, so all of them were very expressive.

Of course that's not an even comparison, just pointing out that that was probably what he was noticing.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Preload complete!

 

[everyday math]

Watching the stream I swear if people don't buy this game.....I'm gonna have a hernia.

 

[nikos]

Just played for a good four hours without even realizing it. Game is way too much fun.

Hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

 

[VLiberty]

So if I buy the UK version, will it feature the other european languages?

ffs rotfl

How's the motion blur? Some people were complaining about it.

Are you at the end of the game?

 

[Original Man]

Why do I get the feeling this will be the most impressive thing we see in the game . Spoiled

 

[Mezoly]

That was from early promos of the game. So probably an early boss.

It hasn't bothered me at all, to be honest. The only times it stood out were when I had to spin the camera longer than usual.

Are you at the end of the game?

lol GG. If it's really supposed to be 5-6 hours, I'd be somewhat disappointed. I'm usually OK with a game of that length, but I'm genuinely having a lot of fun with this one.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Impressive in what sense? It's a very basic boss battle.

Unless you mean visually.

 

[Kaisos]

Can anyone who's beaten the game say how many levels/planets there are?

 

[Original Man]

I meant visually

 

[Protome]

Looking forward to this, I love me some Ratchet and Clank. If you haven't played it, I highly recommend going back and playing Into The Nexus. A lot of people seemed to overlook that one but it's pretty fantastic.

That was from early promos of the game. So probably an early boss.

If the structure hasn't changed too much, it's kinda middle-ish.

 

[jstevenson]

For the love of God, if you read or post on NeoGAF, play he game on hard.

I'm also the type that never uses weapons after they are maxed and tries not to abuse the groovitron, though the late bosses on hard will test that.

Challenge mode is in of course.

 

[mauaus]

Anyone able to preload? Mine is still botched

 

[ZarKryn7]

Can't wait to get my copy in.

 

[SictorVullivan]

Nope not yet

Could you change difficulty anytime?

 

[Vire]

I really have no interest in a 'challenging' Ratchet and Clank experience to be honest. I'm buying Dark Soul 3 for that, R&C is gonna be my reprieve. Probably will just play normal.

 

[Mezoly]

Mine is done downloading.

 

[jstevenson]

Nope not yet

I have emails in on this and will be addressing with PSN Team and Sony first thing in the AM

R&C Normal is Easy

 

[Tuck]

I swear if Amazon doesn't have this game on my doorstep by the time I get home from work on Tuesday, I'm gonna rage*.

They can take more time with Dark Souls 3 tho, who cares about that? =D

Spoiler

*Actually cry profusely

Listen to the man. Any experienced Ratchet player will play on hard.

@James

Challenge mode is generally harder if you play on normal but will challenge mode be even harder if you played the base game on hard or is challenge mode a set difficulty? If you understand what I mean.

 

[Tadale]

Looks so fun! I'm looking forward to playing this after I put away Dark Souls 3.

 

[SlasherJPC]

This is the one franchise aside from Mario that's seemingly beat the odds and stuck around. For the love of all platforming fans, buy this game on ps4. I've got mine payed off and ready for pick up.

 

[Vire]

R&C Normal is Easy

I hate this... I hated it also when Frank o Connor insisted that Heroic "is the way Halo is meant to be played".

Just make Heroic the default difficulty then.

 

[Karak]

Ya dude. Play it on whatever you want.

 

[Ammogeddon]

Boooo to UK release date.

 

[Bare Grills]

Will there be any weapons that turn enemies into animals?

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I have so little interest in how a game "should be played." I'll play it the way that I find the most fun.

 

[Xeteh]

Man, I wish it wasn't coming out the same time DS3 is because I really want to play it but I also really want to play DS3 a bit more. So I'll have to hold off, game looks gorgeous though. I can't wait so I'll probably check it out a bit at some point this week.

 

[Lucreto]

Indeed

Spoiler

The Sheepinator, it's in the movie as well

Blame focus testing for the way difficulties are laid out.

People will very quickly drop a game if they find it too hard.
