Nope. Ratchet Future was $60 and that matches up quite nicely.

Has it been confirmed yet that the game takes about 4 hours to beat? Or is that just made up?

So it's 4 hours for 15 dollars... and that's all right with GAF?
How time have changed ; just because it looks pretty doesn't mean shit.

......... a lot of full retail Next Gen games are only 6-7 hours long, so this is actually better bang for your buck then....... Game X that takes 6-7 hours.

This looks really good. Will definitely buy.
And folks, we're getting a fully fledged expansion that is stand alone here. It deosn't even require the original game. 4 hours is more than enough for a 15 dollar price tag. You think those looks/sounds cost nothing? This is an awesome thing they didn't even have to do to begin with.

60/15 = 4.
4*4 = 16 hours.
That would be generous for many next-gen $60 games. This is a 'proper' next-gen $15 4-hour game, it's not comparable to other smaller PSN offerings.
Obviously I'd prefer if this was $10 or $5 (or $4 or $3 or $2 or $1), but the proposed dollar per hour of entertainment isn't out of whack at all.
GAF is alright with 8-10 hr games that sell for $60, as is a large part of the gaming community. What seems inconsistent to you here?Littleberu said:
You're being highly disingenuous anyway to imply that it's strictly limited to 4hrs of entertainment from the package. Obviously, that's only the estimate for one playthru.

I can barely get two peopl into a movie for $15 for 4 hours of entertanmentLittleberu said:
I cannot drive my car for 4 hours on $15 worth of gas.
Most DVD's ae $15 and last between 90 minutes and 2 hours.
Blu-Ray movies are $25-30, and last 90 minutes to 2 hours.
UFC PPV's are about $40 to $50 and last 4 hours.
Heavenly Sword was $60 and lasted 5 hours.
I can list dozens of examples why a $15 game with 4 hours of fun gameplay (and a fun story) is infinitely more worthwhile than many other thins you throw money at without bating an eye. When was the last time you went out to eat and paid $15 for dinner, just to feed yourself, when you could have spent the same money and had enough food for 2 people?
Troll elsewhere.

Incredible stuff. Pretty much everything I wanted. More platforming mainly, more scale, more techniques and basically more of the same. Interested to see the light/dark segments. I can't believe it's a downloadable game lol.
The scale impressed me, some of those towers Ratchet was climbing seemed to go on up forever, whilst the world around him was still visible.
Here I was thinking this downloadable game would be some PSP looking thing lol.

looks like more fun than ToD... i thought that game was lame.. this has more platforming as it seems.

never felt challenged in that game... if anything.. it was a cartoony mediocre shooter. not a platform/ adventureSeiken said:
I haven't seen any vids (only the images), haven't read the thread but I'll tell you something for nothing - this is an Insomniac product so I know it'll be polished and enjoyable. They get that trust until they put out a crap product.
And, no this isn't blind trust in Insomniac - hopefully it's me making an educated guess and also making things easier for myself!
Each to his own though. As for $15 = 4hrs... whaddya gonna do? Seems reasonable to me.

I agree, but I simply can't buy this until I finish R&C, I don't think I could justify it.
Do we know if it's getting trophy support? I could wait until then before going back to it..if I'm going back to it... (don't get me wrong, I enjoyed what I played of it, but it seems increasingly rare that I actually finish games anymore

agreed.
I still hope that Insomniac is going to do a big new R&C game next year though. Maybe the smaller game is just a way of finding out what players actually want for the next full R&C game.
I keep rewatching the trailer for Quest for Booty. Looks lovely. Nice music and atmosphere and the graphics look really nice once again. Can't wait to play it.
From the trailer, it seems that most enemies were already in Tools Of Destruction. I'm wondering if there's going to be any new enemies in Quest For Booty?

I love this new concept. For me that generally prefers Single play experiences i'll take the 4 hour HL2 Episode or R&C over a $20 map pack.
Plus for Insomniac its such a great concept. You release this as a bridge between your two PS3 games on its "off year". They're clearly going to use this to setup the next game
Could we see a R2 equivalent next year?

Well I suppose it's right, then, but, I mean.. there's no replay value... I might have the PSN concept wrong (or the Arcade concept right), but isn't there supposed to be some kind of added value to a game like this, no?
I mean, it's not episodic, it's not an expansion... I suppose it's right... I don't know...

I can't believe people are complaining about $15 for 4 hours of gameplay. That seems very reasonable to me. I will definitely buy Q4B, it looks great, and I loved ToD. Insomniac is one of the best devs out there, period.

Metalmurphy said:
Probably? Given how many games these days are $60 for 6 hours of gameplay, 4 hours for $15 is a steal.
SonComet said:
Wouldn't you rather have three downloadable Ratchet episodes, probably adding up to the same total amount of gameplay, spread out over the same time and selling for a total of $15 less?
Littleberu said:
If there isn't replay value then Insomniac would have to remove one of the key parts of the series (challenge mode)
Edit: I guess it is possible that there is no challenge mode though since there aren't any new weapons. Unless they raise it to 15 and add stuff.

Day one, and the price looks PERFECT. Some good looking platforming segments shown so far, ToD could have used some more of that so I'm jonesin' for a new fix.
Littleberu said:
HL2:Ep. 2 was 5 hours long and my second favorite game of last year. Of all the things to criticize in next-gen gaming, the average length in games is, perhaps, the least deserving, yet most highly targeted aspect. (Especially given the fact that this game, in particular, is so cheap.)

Another good example is GAF favorite Lost Winds, which is 10 dollars for about 3 hours.traveler said:

A thought just occurred to me (it's probably also occurred to other people), I'd love to see Uncharted get a similar treatment.
