$40, eh?

Pleeeeeease be longer than 3-5 hours.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

What a wonderful thing to wake up to. Oh man, these last few days.. My fanboyism is being satiated.

 

[Rainy Dog]

Subjective - to outright wrong. Better graphical effects, better AA, better overall IQ is more pleasing to the eye - one of the main reasons for cutting to 30fps (among other things).

It's not outright wrong at all. I also personally find the motion clarity of 60fps at least as pleasing to the eye and important as any of those graphical features you touted.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Sly was also $40, and it wasn't lacking in content at all. The price isn't a reflection of the content.

I really hope there will be a new Sly Cooper. He is my favorite of the three PS2 mascots.

 

[TC McQueen]

What does a price tag has to to with length?

Lower price usually indicates lower quality and/or smaller size of the final game (see most indie games). Since the visual quality is quite high, the reasonable assumption is that the game is short.

However, since this could be appealing to parents with young kids, the lower price might also be a clever strategy to get them to buy the game by lowering one of the bigger barriers to entry. Or it could be Amazon fucking up.

 

[Blader]

$40? Bought for sure.

 

[Firelord Chargrilled]

The lack of first-party games really is why the PS2 platformers are getting hyped.
Not that I mind though...

 

[DNAbro]

Because price is a good indicator of how long or content rich a game is?

kinda. Usually if a game costs less, I'm not shocked when there is less content.

 

[viveks86]

Still blown away by how good this looks! Gat dayummmm!

 

[Vroadstar]

30 fps? awwh
since its target are the kids i guess they focused on the shiny graphics

Dat post history, too obvious...

 

[GnawtyDog]

It's not outright wrong at all. I also personally find the motion clarity of 60fps at least as pleasing to the eye and important as any of those graphical features you touted.

As long as the animation is not janky we're good - and from what can be seen in the video - it's not. You're only talking about a hypothetical improvement your eyes will never see. Lets stick to reality.

I know publishers have this mindset, but I totally disagree.
I think price has really no relation to length. I played Terraria way longer than many $60 games.
Price is more about how much they sell. Lower price vs. more purchases or higher price vs. a chance of less sales.

 

[eFKac]

Still not happy Sony didn't give a chance at this to a new developer but got to admit it looks stunning visually.

 

[Loudninja]

$40, eh?

Pleeeeeease be longer than 3-5 hours.

Insomniac is poking fun at itself with that tagline, but the developer is also embracing the connection between Ratchet and Clank the movie and Ratchet and Clank the game. McCabe says the game has "the same bones" as the film, but it will add lots more story and background to help fill out the 10 to 12 hours of expected gameplay.

[Kinsella]

If this comes out at a quiet time of the year, I'll probably get it. Otherwise, it's probably one I'll wait for a really good sale on.

 

[Caronte]

I'm actually surprised it looks this good. But I'd like more difficulty, it looked quite easy.

 

[BKSmash]

This looks fucking amazing! Now I need a ps4 for sure... god damn it

 

[jstevenson]

$40, eh?

Pleeeeeease be longer than 3-5 hours.

way longer than that

 

[Zalman]

I'm in. Looks great.

$40.

Pre-ordored. Just in case its a price mistake. Cant go wrong with R&C game at $40.00.

 

[LordofPwn]

The real question is will it Rip Ya a New One?

 

[Americanmushroom]

Heh, deserves to be 60 bucks but I cant complain. day 1

 

[Icyflamez96]

This reminds me of Barlow from Going Commando

 

[nib95]

way longer than that

Any rough estimate on how long the average completion time might be?

 

[Xpliskin]

This is something you'd put in a conference

Alright, that's good to hear. It's just hard to imagine genuinely good value these days, I always assume there are caveats

 

[TomShoe]

It's funny because

Spoiler

that guy actually died

:^)

 

[RoboPlato]

Any rough estimate on how long the average completion time might be?

10-12 hours. A few posts up.

 

[fargofallout]

Huh, $40. Weird. I thought Into the Nexus was a great game for the price (I would have paid more for it), so hopefully they'll do right by this one as well.

The Polygon article says the campaign runs 10-12 hours.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Heh, deserves to be 60 bucks but I cant complain. day 1

I felt the same way about Puzzle and Dragons 3DS, but you know sometimes you have to accept things. I will probably buy any DLC it has to make up for it.

 

[Loudninja]

Also what is with the Psblog rating system

Ever post is rated really low being notice this for awhile now.

no it isn't. sly 4 was average length, not short, and it sold for 40 bucks day 1.


lower quality or smaller size? stop saying opinions as facts. a lower price is just that - a lower price.

 

[Death Metalist]

Yup, I'm in!

 

[Rodney McKay]

Ugh is anything coming out THIS year? Everything is 2016.

 

[Sami+]

Not that I mind though...

Lol what dude

A lot of us college age GAFfers grew up with these games, and it looks really good. Duh.

 

[nib95]

So why have Sony shown off The Uncharted Collection and R&C ahead of the show? I'd have thought those would both be big deals for the conference.

 

[Jigolo]

way longer than that

Photomode? Pretty please. If you can't say, it's all good...

 

[demosthenes]

So in for $40.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

I WANT IT NOW!!!!

I hope its 60fps. Graphics look amazing so far.

 

[normalmode]

You are not supposed to post broll like that. Anyway...
Here is the trailer in HQ:
http://www.gamersyde.com/news_ratchet_clank_comes_back_on_ps4-16617_en.html

Also the game is 30 fps, the broll is 60, but every frame is duplicated.

Sony PR US gave us permission to post raw (at least for those of us who asked). Gamespot also has raw gameplay:

What the hell are you on about? The difference between 30 and 60 fps is not hypothetical.

 

[Fushichou187]

Not going to re-quote the img but you should probably take that down :\ That's an actual man dying on tv from a stroke. It's been posted here before and people flipped out.

 

[EmptySpace]

Ugh is anything coming out THIS year? Everything is 2016.

yes.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

This is something you'd put in a conference

You would think so given that there is a movie tie in. But they want to get as much VR in there and some traditional games are getting the shaft. So now you have an early reveal so it at least gets some time to itself even if its only Pre-E3.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

It's funny because

Spoiler

that guy actually died

:^)

Yeah, I don't know how/why that became a "hnng" gif.

It's kinda gross.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Are there any more still screenshots out there?

 

[FATALITY]

What the hell are you on about? The difference between 30 and 60 fps is not hypothetical.

there is 8 min gameplay video.
watch it.
if is not good for you deal with it.

 

[DNAbro]

it's 30

Not to mention R&C games are pretty much always worth a replay on NG+ hard. I have no complaints about Nexus' length personally since I immediately replayed it and plat'd it.
