WOW, the game looks stunning! dont know why they would show this game before E3 but i love it. So close to CGI. Didn't know that Insomniac was capable of achieving so good looking games. I thought this was just a reboot of the first game but this is a completely new game, so hyped. It has jumped up on my most wanted list.
 
I honestly think cartoon/cel shaded games have the most to gain from the bump in hardware we've got from this generation. It's just a shame that they're not exactly a popular choice among developers these days.
Absolutely. Look at all the games that were released in this style: Sunset Overdrive, Splatoon, 3D World,and Yoshi to name a few. Pixar like graphics takes a lot of computing power.

The game is apparently $39.99 at amazon
Is it Insomniac/Sony being nice or is it not the same length as any other mainline game?
Edit:Or is it the normal price for a Ratchet game? Don't remember what the older ones price was at launch.
Just preordered to lock that price in in case it's a mistake.
 
Well the movie is a reboot of the original story, so the game has to follow the plot.

Unless they wanted to go Prince of Persia and have the game be nothing like the movie. :p

It'll be following some key points of the plot, but a lot of it is changed.

Edit: Oh you meant the game will follow the same plot of the movie? Actually I think the point still stands in either case. Insomniac mentioned that the game would follow the plot of the movie while expanding on some things. Something like that.

Nice.

The Pixalator looks sick. Kind of like the new movie I've been seen ads on TV.

Just preordered to lock that price in in case it's a mistake.

Good idea.

Edit: Anyone got the amazon link. Can't find the game for some stupid reason.

2nd Edit: Found.

I think because of how badly Thieves in Time did Sony is afraid of selling it at full price. Same logic as why Puzzle and Dragons 3DS was not full priced either.

I think the game will still deliver a $60 experience.
We don't have sales numbers for Sly4 though. It did chart on the NPD on the month it released so that's something I guess.

So I have Uncharted 4 preorder for $40 from Amazon price-matching the Walmart Price mistake and Ratchet for $40. Nice
 
Holy....I wasn't really expecting the game to look that freakin' good!

That 30 fps makes sense, it's gorgeous.

I guess if they wanted it 60fps, they could cut back on things like heavy lighting effects, shadow resolution, lessen particles/alphas, dial back on AA techniques....errr, on second thought, the game is swell as is, wow.

There is a great motion blur effect going, CG-ish.

Yeah because a game that is 30 fps is automatically trash and can't be worth playing right, can't have good gameplay? Number of games this gen that are 60 are the exception not the norm,.

This happens in so many threads in which a game turns out to be 30fps, but then you never hear about the game selling poorly due to people not buying it for not being 60fps. Point being, moaners gonna moan but in the end their complaints or lack of purchase won't have an impact.

my hard graphic balls
The 30 fps in Sunset Overdrive was almost as good as the 30 fps in Forza Horizon 2, meaning it was a hell of a lot better than every other game, it felt so damn smooth. The motion blur in Sunset Overdrive is some of the best I have seen. With its release, I vowed to buy anything from Insomniac, it was just that good. I have never played this series, but the devs already won me over, the graphics being so fantastic is like a bonus.

Insomniac fuckin around and giving us pixar-like graphics out of no where, lol.

Games at the end of this gen are going to be special

Yeah, the potential for cartoons with more powerful hardware has always been there.

It's weird Hollywood gets it but the game industry doesn't (at least, not anymore).
 
I guess it's time to fulfill my childhood and buy a finally purchase a PS4. I just need crash bandicoot reboot now. Man do I miss the glorious platformers on the PlayStation... (Spyro, Crash, Jak, Ratchet, Sly)

Yes, most stuff now is something realistic, this is why I have a Wii U/PS4 combo.

Looks Solid, great graphics and fun gameplay, will buy.

Game looks amazing.


Devs could at least confirm a photomode for this, please. That's something that shouldn't be held secret...

I can't believe people are disregarding a game just because it's not running at 60 FPS like they wanted it to. I can understand disappintment, but to say you're going to skip playing a game because of this is some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard of.

What if this game's graphics were merely average PS3-level or worse, but still played the same? A lot of people posting here impressed by the graphics might not want to bother because they wouldn't enjoy the visual presentation. Some people enjoy different aspects of games. Go figure.

Looks like the same game we've been getting almost yearly for the past 10-15 years. I expected more changes to the formula from this "reimagining", but it looks pretty at least.
