WOW
 
Yup, totally on board. Though it's still weird to me that this is a reboot, because it seems so totally in line with the Ratchet & Clank Future games. But whatever, looks real damned good, and GROOVITRON IS BACK YES.

Have I missed an announcement with the price? I'm curious if this will be a $40 or $60 release.

If the game turns out like the footage suggests I wouldn't be upset with a $60 price tag, I'm just curious.
 
Wow! Game looks close to animated movie and still they have almost a year of development before release. I need photo mode for this game must.

Tbh this is one of the first games I've seen approaching the AAAA status of Naughty Dog and Blizzard in terms of overall polish and production values.

If the movie is half decent this could be pretty massive, but the PS4 will need more games to appeal to the kids AND a pricecut by April if it's going to capitalise on the potential here. There's a Sly Cooper movie in the works for 2016 also.

If it plays all those cards write then you could see a major major boost for the PS4 (and therefore console gaming) coming out of this.

Cna't help but feel like this has been Cerny's plan for some time based on some of the things he said around launch and his decisions to focus himself on Knack; the only children orientated launch game for either the PS4 or the Bone IIRC.

Has it been confirmed there is a sly cooper too?

I'm blown away. The set-pieces, and the graphics in general are incredible. This game would be amazing to play as a 10-year-old.

It probably helps that I have never played a R&C game before, so this is all new to me.

Good show, Insomniac.

Skeptical that the final game will look nearly as good. Insomniac did sub 720p all last generation while releasing screenshots that were obviously not direct frame grabs considering the final games.

Sunset Overdrive I believe is 900p, and looks great!

As previous poster mentioned there's 8 minutes of gameplay which looks like it's in almost Beta shape.

So there's that.

I don't see how what you described is literally just making something again, henceforth remake.

My definitions are like this
Remaster - GTA 5, TLOU Remastered (ups the visual standard an maybe adds some minor features)
Remake - OoT 3D, P4G (Adds significant content and/or remakes a lot of assets but still the same base game)
Reimagining - MGS: Twin Snakes, REmake (The same base story and gameplay, but otherwise a different way of experiencing the same game in an almost unrecognisably new way.)
 
Ratchet & Clank

Doom

Fallout 4

Mirrors Edge Catalyst

Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection

1TB Xbox One, new controller, $349 permanent

They couldn't wait till E3? Heck, this announcement was timed on a damn forum and came out of nowhere. My faith in Ratchet & Clank just keeps fading with the little attention Sony gives it with each new release. The lack of supervision is probably why we got so many mediocre or "experimental" titles since 2009.

Best wishes.

Remake of the first Ratchet & Clank game?

Ratchet & Clank game based on the movie? Which is it? Confused I am

It's a reboot that retells the origin story by incorporating elements from the movie and other new things.

The gameplay looks fantastic! I remember some reviewer somewhere who described Ratchet & Clank as gaming comfort food. I can't think of a better analogy!
 
And Naughty Dog still be like "we don't think fans want a new Jak and Crash game."
Yeah all the sales and awards Uncharted and The Last of Us bring in proved that they don't need those games.

And Sony doesn't own the Crash i.p. so stop crying about.



Anyway the game looks really nice, can't wait for it.

Same boring shit as ever?

There's something wrong if people are excited for this and despise Devil's Third.

I assumed you were joking, but then I looked at your avatar. DT looks like an awful mishmash of popular shooters and hack & slashers. With chickens. Rainbow colored chickens.
 
I loved the first few, but the return to this similar setting feels like a retread. I was honestly hoping for something a bit more fresh. Hopefully it's just a small part of the game.
