Can you tell us which team is making the game?
I've only played the Future trilogy myself (and A4O, but eeeh), but I definitely recommend it, they're all lovely!
Quest for Booty is awesome

love this really really hope for a ps4 title later on after this one
Do you have a PS3? Collection of the first three games are like seven bucks on PSN if you're a Plus member right now. If not Plus I'm sure the deal is still pretty good.
It's a great series, and I've only played three of them.
EDIT: Crap, that sale is over. Sorry!

I wonder if it will end with them jumping into a portal that leads into the next-gen series.
Absolutely. You can get the R&C collection for cheap which comes with the first 3 games. Tools of Destruction and A Crack in Time are super-cheap on Amazon last I checked. You can net most of the series for $100 easy.
Yup, that would be a perfect segue for a PS4 title. A new universe/dimension to start off a new generation of R&C games.SuperSonic1305 said:

another ps3 game to add to the list, my wallet is crying. Nice price though!
Yes, please.
That deal ended yesterday, I think.

I'd be very surprised if we didn't get a R&C Infinity title to coincide with the movie in 2015.
Full Frontal Assault was a good Ratchet & Clank game but it was different there is nothing wrong with that and it was priced well too.
FFA was shit. So was A4O.

They have to save SOMETHING to coincide with the movie release

I love everything about this.
PS3? Yup.
Classic Ratchet? Nice.
$30? Sold.
As long as we aren't looking at a Quest for Booty situation, I don't see anything wrong here.

Rats, I was hoping for an Outernauts-Disruptor crossover.
I always thought the "Where did the Lombaxes go?" story ended too soon. $30 has me a little worried. Sly was a full game at $40 so hopefully this is like 80% of a full game and not 5 planets instead of 3 or something.
Also please have single player DLC. New planets, weapons, skill points etc. For the love of god, don't to map packs and multiplayer skins.

Insomniac needs to ditch new Ratchet's design and bring back old Ratchet but other than that this is the game I've neen wanting now for years.
Number one concern right here. Going from 60fps in Tools and roughly 60fps in Crack to sub 30fps in QForce was heartbreaking.
Ratchet & Clank: Ultimate Collection!
- All of the famous Ratchet & Clank series in 1080p (just throw in Deadlocked, ToD, ACiT, and ETN)
- Behind the scenes look into the making of Ratchet & Clank: The Movie!
- etc...
They could do that instead of a big budget PS4 Ratchet game. You know it to be true.
I miss it too
I hope they go back to where they belong next-gen.
60fps misses you, Insomniac.

The face is just weird. Can't put my finger on it
Talwyn, Qwark, Cronk and Zephyr all return
Awesome! I love all of them!

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Looks really fun, and the price is most definitely right.
Insomniac is here. Quick make up some questions...
um..um..How many weapons are in the game? How many are returning and how many are new?

Hopefully they have enough time to make a worthy successor to ACiT in that case. I'm dying for another Ratchet space epic. This is one of those series where I feel going bigger adds a lot to the experience.
Heaven forbid Sony attempt to play with the god-awful pricing model for day 1 video games. It's infuriating to see GAF decry the AAA game model that forces devs to chase mass market appeal to profit on a $60 product and then act disappointed when a game is priced affordably because it has must be subpar if it only costs $30.
Will this game be as long and expansive as a $60 title? Probably not. That doesn't mean that it won't be worth its price tag, however. Insomniac developed the title with this price point in mind, likely budgeted accordingly, and will likely be able to reach a profit because they know that parents buying a game for their children will be much more willing to spend $30 than $60. We need to see more of this.

I think I may give this game a go. Haven't owned Ratchet game since Going Commando and Ive always preferred the Jak and Daxter games. So far the PS3 Ratchet games never captured my attention because they never felt like they were pushing the franchise forward, sure this may not be either but the price is reasonable. And the main bad guy actually looks to be an interesting one instead of that boring Dr Nefarious.

What about the series's most important character, Mr. Zurkon?
Based on the trailer I figured they were back using the Ratchet model circa Crack in Time. Looked that way to me, anyhow.
Very excited for this, looks excellent. I need more traditional Ratchet in my life. A little disappointed that it's smaller than ACiT, I was hoping the smaller price tag was just brought on by the success (kinda?) of Sly 4 and it was just as big as the last couple major entries, but I can deal. Hopefully it does well and we get a full sized adventure soon too.

This was just announced? Because I had no idea and I'm super pumped. The last Ratchet I enjoyed was Quest for Booty. Well, at least up to the point where I had to walk across super narrow beams in the dark. I literally cannot do it years later.

Yes, yes, yes! Glad to see Ratchet being back to how it should be. It looks damn good too, and that Zero Gravity part looks like mad fun. I'm there for this the day it comes out. I hope it releases before the PS4 comes out, though.

Great rebuttal.
I'm not trying to troll, but nothing I said is untrue besides maybe "this is gonna bomb" since I can't predict the future.
