I'm playing this before Dark Souls 3. I could use a break after that platinum trophy run in Bloodborne.

 

[VLiberty]

That's so disappointing though. The Blarg Station was also a "dark" planet, and they've nailed that look. Don't see why they would have ruined the other planets....

I mean, they've been nailing the environments in general. Have you seen Blackwater City? Aridia?

Actually no. I went blackout and refused to watch both Aridia and Rilgar, it'd be great if they nailed those two, at least visually (the OST is a lost cause)

Yeah tell me about it... lol

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

When's this out in the UK? Because I really, really thought this was tomorrow but Amazon is saying Friday 22nd. Guess I had it wrong. It's going to be two weeks of hardcore Souls III, then.

I got given a £25 Amazon voucher on my last day at my job, so snapped this up for £2.99.

When does preload go live?

 

[cheesekao]

When does preload go live?

Sony are having some preload issues atm.

 

[Vitor711]

Hold the phone. So this is essentially a remake and not an HD remaster? I had no idea. This just went from "I'll just play the PSN version I bought last year" to "Maybe buying this tomorrow"

It's a completely new game - built from the ground up but based on the same levels as the original. Some areas seem very similar in terms of layout but others are unrecognisable aside from the art style.

 

[VLiberty]

Yeah tell me about it... lol

Yep.

We ended up with a new game, with elements based on the original — but now with modern controls, several new planets, new and updated gameplay segments, all-new Clank gameplay, all new boss fights, new flight sequences, and more… all constructed to take advantage of the graphical prowess of PS4. Throw in James Arnold Taylor as Ratchet, and you have a new beginning.

I think it's time for me to finally play through a Ratchet game. Seriously might be the best looking game of the generation. So good to see Insomniac release two great games in a row.

Nice ;D

I have no idea what he's even up to nowadays.

 

[Vashetti]

Digital Foundry frame-rate test

Seems to be a locked 30 throughout.

Wonder how high it'd go if they gave an unlocked option.

 

[Machina]

PROTIP: Anyone having issues getting the preload going, go to your Downloads List on the PSN browser store and activate it from there. That's what I just did.

Do to the nature of "locked" framerates(as I understand them), it would probably be a fluctuating 45-50.

Game is reviewing about where I expected it to. Which is awesome. As soon as I finish replaying UYA and finally playing ITN. I'll pick this up

 

[Auctopus]

Can't wait to see the Gadgetron site in next-gen, that was always a highlight of the first game to me.

Tried it. Adds to the download list and list download error😢

 

[Playsage]

A couple of questions:
- Does the wrench work like in ACiT (Comet Strike while moving, shield-stripping,etc...)?
- Is there a OG Ratchet unlockable skin?

 

[Gamespawn]

I think Sony forgot to set it for preload. Either that or it's not on US servers yet.

 

[ScherzoPrime]

I guess my question is, is this a 'play right the hell now' sort of game or a 'after your backlog clears' sort of game? I am sort of interested in the game, but like I don't need another fun hour waster right this second; going through Nathan Drake collection atm.

The best way to get that answer at this point is to look at the review thread for the reviews.

 

[rmanthorp]

YOOOOO

Those reviews - I AM EXCITE - So mad about the 10 days delay in the UK

Just check reviews and go from there.

Have some clips of minigames and extras for everybody that I recorded yesterday! Spoiler Tags for anybody that doesn't want the minigames/bonus features spoiled for them, however in all honesty they are all to be expected.

10 days delay in the UK

HAHA! Only 8 days for us Krauts! ha... ha... *sniff* *cries*

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Insomniac makes some of the best-looking games on the market. Was playing Sunset Overdrive over the last week and was still impressed with how good it looks, and this looks like an even cleaner art style.

Will be buying shortly.

 

[lazyguy]

So, I don't know if this is okay(let me know if I violate anything and I'll remove it) but I did a comparison vid for the first two planets of the game with the original game.

Cool little, "Did You Know Gaming?" on the R&C series.

[Impulsor]

Please don't hate me, but can you guys tell me the consensus on duration from the reviews today?

I've read in some it was shorter than the original game? Not that that's bad though, just want to know.

Most are saying it is on par with the other mainline games. IGN said 15 hours, sooo...

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Had no idea this was out tomorrow. Thought this was a fall game for some reason. Gotta pick this up with Dark Souls 3 so I have something great to relax from the frustration with.

 

[Impulsor]

Awesome! Thanks.

 

[eFKac]

Cheers. Unfortunately, it seems PS Now hasn't yet reached Australia and latency to the US/European servers would likely result in a sub-par experience. Oh well.

Ohh assumed you were from US!

Yeah still a long time before PS Now will be widely available unfortunately :-(

 

[TVexperto]

While I am very excited to play this game I have to say its really unfair in a times of globalization we cant play this game worldwide at the same time, I can understand that logistics of retail discs are difficult however I dont feel like there is any reason why we have to wait over 8 days for the digital version to unlock in europe when it unlocks in america tonight / tomorrow...

 

[jacobeid]

I just noticed that my copy from Best Buy with release date shipping is stuck on "preparing for shipping." Anyone else?

 

[WhiteWolf]

Not this comment again

This gif is amazing.

I want this game since I never played any Ratchet and Clank games before, but Dark Souls 3 comes out this week too. I haven't played a platformer in a long time and this looks beautiful.

 

[Peterthumpa]

When does exactly pre-loaded games unlock for Canada, PST? Any chances in playing it tonight?

 

[Golgo 13]

What's up with the 7.3GB preload?! Some sort of mistake on Sony's part? I want to play this bad boy tonight.

 

[h3ro]

Anyone get confirmation of Inverted Controls for the space ship sequences?!

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yes, it is in. James mentioned it in here.

 

[slade]

My preload for this hasn't started yet. I'm in Toronto. Anybody having the same issue? I go to the game page on my PS4 and all it gives me is a timer for when the game will be available.

 

[Jigolo]

Dang. I pre-ordered on BB in December but I didn't receive my pre-order bonus code. Don't advertise it if you aren't gonna give them out.

 

[Camjo-Z]

Sorry if this was answered already, anybody know if there's a reason to keep playing/do a replay once you've finished the story? Wondering whether to go digital or physical for this, if it's fairly short-lived I'd rather be able to resell it.

 

[h3ro]

Yes, it is in. James mentioned it in here.

Fantastic! Thank you.

 

[Shin-Ra]

FFVII Remake Honey Bee Inn looks amazing.

 

[kennyamr]

wooo hyped :3

 

[rawd]

Hot hot hot, my blaster runs hot

 

[Brandon F]

so i heard the game is 5 hours long

Supposedly the movie is longer.

 

[msdstc]

The reviews are excellent and I'm glad. I hope this does really well so we can continue this series. I'm gonna keep my order regardless, I hope the campaign is nice and long.

 

[Adam Tyner]

Dang. I pre-ordered on BB in December but I didn't receive my pre-order bonus code. Don't advertise it if you aren't gonna give them out.

I bet you'll get the code tomorrow. My last preorder DLC code from Best Buy didn't come until the day of, anyway.

 

[zerodeefex]

when does the store let you download preorders? midnight your time zone release day?
