Ratchet & Clank reviews

WTF I thought this was an entire new game in the series not a remaster ?
It isn't a remaster. It isn't a completely new game either.

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.

Anyone have any idea about how long the game is? If it's another 5-6 hour game like The Order I'll wait for the price to drop.

Not a remaster, a re-imagined remake kinda based on the movie

Why has The Order been mentioned more than once in this thread?

Lol, I do not even understand the parallels that can even be drawn between these two games.

It's the game based on the movie based on the game that they made a movie and a game about!

I heard the Indian ladies gonna cameo in this game :D

Spoiler alert: this game is actually a continuation of the Order.
 
A high caliber game suited for the entire family. I hope reviewers see how sorely games like Ratchet and Clank are needed and the value of what they offer. I expect great scores.

Ok gaf bros this should make it clear

We knew early on that we didn’t want to just up-res Ratchet & Clank for PS2. We started out thinking of Ratchet & Clank on PS4 as a “re-imagining” of the 2002 original, revised to tie in with the deeper version of Ratchet’s origin story (as seen in the film). We envisioned a curated Ratchet & Clank experience that borrowed from the spirit of the classic PS2 games while infusing some of the best elements from the Ratchet & Clank Future games.

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.
The fresh start means we changed up the arsenal quite a bit as well. As always with Ratchet & Clank games, you battle your enemies with an out-of-this-world arsenal. In the PS4 version of Ratchet & Clank, the majority of the arsenal is made up of weapons that weren’t in the original game. That means both new weapons and fan-favorite tools of destruction from the Ratchet & Clank Future series will fill out Ratchet’s kit.

wellthereitis.jpg I have never played a game that was long as the developers said it was. If they say 10-12 hours then its more likely 6-8 hours

And well, we have a site for that to get a barometer based on the past several mainline games.

I am seeing a pattern here. ;)
 
alright but I think one of the planets that might not be in would be Oltantis, that city ruins.

Eudora, Umbris, Oltanis and Gemlik Base are all prime candidates to be cut. Hoven and Batalia seem to have been combined, but I don't know if that's necessarily confirmed yet. We have seen snowy Batalia for sure.
 
Colin was pretty up on this based on his comments from C&G Live. I expect mid to low 80s.

That sounds great. Any more specifics on what Colin said?

In terms of this first review: awesome score, but I stopped reading when they classified Uncharted as a lacklustre remaster. Nope.
 
I finally finished the original after having played about half of it back when it was new (thanks HD collection).

As someone who liked the 3 physical release PS3 games (never finished or liked QfB much), it was surreal going back to the original controls. Boy oh boy. But I had to cut it some slack because of its age, and third person shooters definitely didn't have their shit together back then.

Wish I had done it sooner... will wait on picking this up since I don't want back to back tellings of virtually the same story.

That Ratchet 1 RYNO was definitely satisfying though ;)

He said to Greg "you really are fucking up if you aren't playing ratchet and clank this weekend"

But specifics about the game? No.
 
The closest comparison is Star fox Zero. The game is a "Remake" that takes the original and modernizes it, keeps familiar elements and adds some new ones.

From what I hear the level concepts have mostly stayed similar which is nice, R&C had rather nice levels.
