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

Import?

 

[katkombat]

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.

SONY CANNOT BE TRUSTED

 

[kittoo]

Import?

Before release? My point is that why would Sony give review copies to Indian media houses?

 

[QaaQer]

I heard the Indian ladies gonna cameo in this game

I want an interstellar Bollywood mascot 3rd person lolwut shooter.

Sony didn't, which means that obtained it by other means, which is why they don't have to follow the embargo

A lot of places have broken street date already

Because Rajinikanth demanded it.

I'd play it

Yasss!!

I'm in the right place.

 

[cordy]

I look forward to this game.

I'm missing the platformer era tbh, I need a new game in my life.

Sly remake after this would be golden, even a movie tie-in with it might work as well maybe?

Sly Collection on PS3 is god-tier.

This makes me want a cigarette and I don't even smoke.

 

[Ronin Ray]

I love dark souls so much but this is the game I have become more excited about. I never put my rachet and clank fandom against my souls fandom but rachet wins. Now only if they could combine the two .

What if From made an R&C game

To be honest my first time through Orxon was not unlike going through a Dark Souls level. There was like one checkpoint and the enemies were so beefy.

I hated those levels as a kid but I appreciate it so much more now. I wish R&C games still had sections around that level of challenge. It's why I'm disappointed that Gemlik Base and Oltanis will very likely be cut. I'm holding out hope for the former though since I think it's the more likely of the two to return.

 

[_Spr_Drnk]

Loved the original, haven't played one since. Not day one but definitely on the list.

 

[JSoup]

I thought the release date was the 14th, huh.
Well, Amazon day one delivery has gotten me my last four release days games a bare minimum of one full day early, with the last LEGO game showing up on a Sunday, so maybe I'll be playing this tomorrow.

 

[paragonpro]

A wee early, but yes!

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Pretty much, except it also brings all the new mechanics they developed in the later titles as well. Don't need to equip the swingshot to use it, leveling guns, raritanium upgrades, that sort of stuff.



Metacritic Scores-
Ratchet 1: 88

Ratchet 2: 90

Ratchet 3: 91

Ratchet Future Tools: 89

Ratchet Future Crack: 87

Since this is the first mainline games since A Crack in Time I'd be shocked at anything approaching a 70. Everything from the game screams 85-90 to me.

Reviews have been harsher this gen, something I'm glad to see honestly. I see it more in the 80 to 85 range. I'd be shocked if it was anything below that.

 

[Tuck]

Honestly guys, its Ratchet. A regular, non spinoff ratchet game. More than that, its a remake/reimagining of a game most of you have already played.

You should know exactly what you're getting by now. If you liked the previous games, you'll very likely like this. The scores really don't matter.

 

[Coffee Dog]

I expect low 80s high 70s, with reviewers lamenting the role of the modern platformer as too simplistic in our AAA blockbuster world of cinematic masterpieces and infinite hour endless content open world games. Lots of rental reccomendations.

At least, unlike a certain trailer, this seems to parse unambiguously.

 

[Karak]

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

LOl thats what I have been calling games like this on podcast hahah. Well I use reimageinining ha

 

[PodcastFips]

I highly doubt that. Rental recommendations at 39$?

 

[potatohead]

How da fuq? Lmao.

 

[Coffee Dog]

I highly doubt that. Rental recommendations at 39$?

I don't think the price matters much when people are going to see a sub 15 hour playtime (which is generally only acceptable to people if you're telling an amazing story).

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

The best thing I have seen this evening.

 

[The Lamp]

lol

India has 1.2 billion people. How is a successful Indian company no-name?

"The thread" doesn't fit. It ends in Gam. Removing the first bit let's it work.

 

[Primethius]

These GIFs have set a standard that I know the game won't match.

Pre-order cancelled.

 

[Kaisos]

I don't think the price matters much when people are going to see a sub 15 hour playtime (which is generally only acceptable to people if you're telling an amazing story).

Literally every Ratchet game has been shorter than 15 hours, but have had more than enough extra content and replayability to make up for that. Besides, I'm not sure rental recommendations are still a thing? How easy is it to rent games anymore?

 

[Neoleo2143]

Their Loss I suppose. I wonder how people would see a game like resident Evil 2 in this day and age for $45.

Depends on what nation. US ya you have tons of ways including Bluebox, Gamefly, and redbox. gameflip(sort of), and rental stores, trade in stores. We have a couple just within a few blocks of us. Other places maybe not so much.

Still easy, if not more convenient than ever.
But yes, R&C was never about the story. Instead it was always content rich, had environments which encouraged you to explore, crazy weapon arsenals and a good chunk of humor und great characters.

 

[Gurish]

I expect an 7.9 MC, which is good, you can quote me on that

(I think that today, because reviews are tougher, the previous gens 8.5-8.7 is like a low 8 or high 7 today, and that's what we will see)

 

[Gaz_RB]

I've never played a R&C game, I'm hoping this one will be great and I can use it to jump into the series.

 

[nikos]

Just picked this up at a local shop. Wonder if it's safe to stream tonight.

 

[tesqui]

Was Into the Nexus any good? I wonder if this will score similarly.

 

[PodcastFips]

Was Into the Nexus any good? I wonder if this will score similarly.

It had everything you would expect from a R&C game, but it was too short and environments were missing detail sometimes. This entry should definitely score a lot better.

 

[vaderise]

This and Uncharted 4 are my most anticipated games of 2016.
I'm expecting 81-82 MC score with critics appreciating the Pixar-like art style and throwbacks to the old R&C games.

 

[DancingNalwood]

Was Into the Nexus any good? I wonder if this will score similarly.

I was pretty naff by R&C standards actually. I'd expect this one to score higher. And yeah, anyone wanting to jump in this is the perfect game to do so.

On another note... Noooooooooooooooooo! You cannot hit me with reviews when the UK doesn't get the game until the 22nd. I'm dying inside. Why, Sony and insomniac? Why!?

 

[thecosmicfly]

Last thing I expected to see today in a Ratchet & Clank thread was an abundance bollywood gifs. It's not even page 4 yet.

 

[Purest 78]

Likely wasn't a review copy A couple of my Friends from NY own the game.
