WTF I thought this was an entire new game in the series not a remaster ?

It's not a remaster it's a reimagining made from ground up to tie in with the movie.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Not at all. Just don't want to jump to any conclusions until more voices are in the picture.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that a traditional Ratchet & Clank game is probably going to be alright

Review based on the game based on the movie based on the original

This game is based on the movie? Or is the movie based on this game?

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.

Relax with the hostility. It was just an observation about early reviews.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Right, no one has said R&C will be a masterpiece. Just that it will more than likely be good given the quality of the series overall.

 

[Protann]

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.

 

[FelipeMGM]

I've been hearing great thing about it, Im not reviewing but had a chat with people that are and they are very pleased with the quality of it. On monday we discover if its a universal praise

WTF I thought this was an entire new game in the series not a remaster ?

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

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Some levels were taken out, some are completely new.

What?!

So the logging site or Hoven might be gone?

10-12 hours.

about 10-12 hours is what insomniac says, also its not full price anyways.

 

[DeepEnigma]

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.

 

[kpaadet]

An observation that as far as I can tell wasn't needed, but hey you are apparently threaten by my questions so I'll leave you alone...

 

[Footos22]

10 - 12 hours the game is only 40 bucks.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Yup.

That's was basically the suck cannon level for me. I think you ran into Drek's robot goon but you never got to fight him

 

[CosmicQueso]

This game is based on the movie? Or is the movie based on this game?

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

 

[Loudninja]

What?!

So the logging site or Hoven might be gone?

Who knows, they said some were taken out some added and some levels combine into one.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

WTF I thought this was an entire new game in the series not a remaster ?

It's a reimagining of the first game, not a remaster. Significant portions of it have changed and expanded but I think the general content is very similar.

 

[benny_a]

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

 

[potatohead]

I'm convinced!

Spoiler

just kidding I already bought it and reviews wont affect this decision ^^

I heard the Indian ladies gonna cameo in this game

Spoiler alert: this game is actually a continuation of the Order.

 

[ChasingComets]

This should be the OT title just to quash every "remaster" question I've seen in the threads.

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

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.

 

[Data West]

Best looking game on the PS4 tbh

 

[Loudninja]

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.

alright but I think one of the planets that might not be in would be Oltantis, that city ruins.

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

Well said.

Which for $40 retail is more than fine.

 

[Neuromancer]

These reviews from no-name sites that break embargo are usually the ones that are the most reliable.

Spoiler

Yeah I only trust reviews from AAA game sites like IGN.

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

[Moze]

I doubt this game is going too be shorter than the original.

 

[Icyflamez96]

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.

 

[VanCityGamer]

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.

 

[MasterMongoose]

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

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Eudora, Umbris, Obtains 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.

Shame. I liked those levels, especially Eudora.

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.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Oltanis and Gemlik Base are some of my favorites, Umbris is up there too. I appreciate the more imposing levels.

Also, according to the recent PlayStation underground gameplay video

Spoiler

Orxon and Quartu have been combined.

 

[Oneself]

Sony being the biggest offenders when it comes to HD remasters, ok, Uncharted Collection... lackluster?

what?

That's what the review says.

 

[Fancy Clown]

lol so it does

 

[Neoleo2143]

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.

 

[Plum]

You know in all my Souls hype I forgot this was coming out! I have £30 to spend and I've already preordered UC4 so Ipl be getting this for sure!

 

[kittoo]

The game is not even releasing in India. How did NDTV get it? I am confused.
