Pleasantly surprised by the reviews thought they would be lower with critics dismissing it as just another Ratchet and Clank game, hope it sells well so we can keep getting more R&C games in the future since it's one of the rare franchises that have survived as long as it has.

 

[SDCowboy]

Now just hope they nail the movie, so we have even more Ratchet & Clank greatness to look forward too shortly.

I'm just hoping this rally revitalized the platforming genre.

The IGN reviewer say it's sometimes hard to notice a difference between the CGI cut scenes and the real time ones.

It's actually very easy!

Spoiler

Clank's head is oval in the CG scenes

 

[simatron3000]

Hang on, I'm trying to imagine I care about 60fps. Give me a minute.

Maybe make it 15fps then, think how amazing the graphics could be then.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Shedding a happy tear for Ratchet, Insomniac and 3D platformers.

 

[schaft0620]

I got a text from Best Buy today saying that my pre-order will be ready for pickup tomorrow. I am going to try and go pick it up today and pretend like I misread the text to see if they give it to me.

LOL. That's what happens when you have your eyes closed as you breath in the awesome of the gameplay. But no. Not even close.

I'm just hoping this rally revitalized the platforming genre.

Now all I can think of is a rally game with Ratchet and Clank lol. Which in no way shape or form is a joke. It would be awesome to have a mariocart/rally goffy game with these peeps now.

1 more day!

Billy Hatcher 2 confirmed NX launch title.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Preorder price is $30 for this masterpiece on Amazon.
You guys know what you need to do. Game is already a steal at $40

 

[Tankard]

Damn!!! Some high praises for the game.

 

[Storm Chamber]

It's funny how length only matters when the game is long

A lot of people in here were just waiting to be validated it seems.

Guy that played it says 5 hours = "that's bullshit and I'm going to throw a hissy fit"

IGN says 15 = "SEE I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG"

Like it really would've mattered when the game is $20 less than MSRP and can only go lower from here.

 

[Gurish]

LOL. That's what happens when you have your eyes closed as you breath in the awesome of the gameplay. But no. Not even close.

He compared between the real time in-engine cut scenes and the CGI, not the gameplay (which looks fantastic, but obviously cut scenes will always look better)

 

[icespide]

sweet. just bought this digitally

 

[KZObsessed]

I love these games. Hope they continue.

 

[mdsfx]

Never played a R&C game before. Is this something I can play with my 7-yo daughter?

 

[HyperOne]

Sad to see how short it is.

Having played the original back when it came out, I can't help but feel I would crush this in no time then move on to other games.

It may be a bit difficult for her. There is tongue in cheek adult humor likely to go over her head, but violence wise there is nothing to be concerned about IMHO.

 

[Daredevil.shark]

The IGN reviewer say it's sometimes hard to notice a difference between the CGI cut scenes and the real time ones.

I am slightly disappointed. I hoped they will break tradition and use real time cut scenes. But they stuck with CGI ones.

 

[Acquiescence]

Maybe make it 15fps then, think how amazing the graphics could be then.

That would be borderline unplayable though. No one would tolerate it.

 

[Caipirinha]

Dat score..

 

[thekiddfran]

Never played a R&C game before. Is this something I can play with my 7-yo daughter?

yup completely!

 

[Rozart]

Wow. 87?? I...was not expecting that.

Dammit, Ratchet. 2016 is just endlessly burning holes in my pocket.

Spoiler

Dark Souls first though.

 

[Brutalitops]

I'm very happy it turned out well! I still won't be buying because of 30fps but hyped for the movie nevertheless.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Wonderful scores. Can't wait!

 

[Bgamer90]

Sad to see how short it is.

Having played the original back when it came out, I can't help but feel I would crush this in no time then move on to other games.

Seems like it's pretty much the same length as the PS2 games from what I can remember (it has been more than a decade since I've played them though).

 

[Hedrush]

Does anyone know if I buy this off the US Store (i'm in the UK) will I be able to play it straight away, or will it be locked until the 22nd?

You can play right away

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Why do you even own a console if you won't play 30fps games?

Ya I know.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Boom, there it is.

 

[RibMan]

Fantastic scores. The visuals looks gorgeous, so it's great to know they nailed the gameplay as well. Great job.

 

[Living Proof]

Better hope they sell it to you under the table then, since their system won't allow them to sell it before it's street date

 

[ScaryShark]

Welp, this went from "I'll get it down the line" to purchased and pre-loading on PSN right now.

 

[Hedrush]

Is pre-load working properly now then? Was only downloading the theme before.

 

[Servbot24]

Might have to play this while I wait for DSIII come in the mail.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I think you quoted the wrong dude, dude.

 

[Gurish]

I am slightly disappointed. I hoped they will break tradition and use real time cut scenes. But they stuck with CGI ones.

There are both, they wanted to put some bits from the movie, probably in order to advertise it through the game, it's not because they wanted prettier cut scenes, like I said, there are real time cut scenes as well.

 

[ZeroX03]

I've been saying Insomniac always delivers on the mainline titles. Not surprised in the slightest. Preload is ready to rock.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I think you quoted the wrong dude, dude.

dude if you're going to port beg then get out

 

[jjonez18]

A Dream come true! Now hopefully the sales follow the high scores so Sony can greenlight the other 2/3 of the PS2 platforming trio with Sly Cooper and Jak & Daxter games

Spoiler

and movies

.

 

[DeepEnigma]

That would be borderline unplayable though. No one would tolerate it.

They did with the N64, huzzah!

 

[DidntKnowJack]

dude if you're going to port beg then get out

heh, ok that made me laugh.

 

[TimeEffect]

I thought Ratchet was dying a slow death last gen.

Good to see them bounce back modestly. I hope they can continue like this and that it proves successful.

 

[Elixist]

dude if you're going to port beg then get out

bringin aneeda into this thread? watdafuq

 

[JustCheezze]

I impulsed pre-order the game, even though I loved R&C but I was looking to get it when it's like $20 or something since DS3 is here to tide me over until UC4. I have no regrets now and I don't know why I'd even bother hessitating in the first place!

 

[Intel_89]

Excuse me sirs, I have a crow to eat.

 

[Memento]

Yeeeeeees

Ratchet and Clank is back bitches!

Amazing scores! Hope it does well sales-wise!

 

[StrongBlackVine]

I think you quoted the wrong dude, dude.

Thanks. I fixed it. Don't expect a response though.

 

[1337Sauce]

Amazing game and very happy with the scores. I still slightly disagree with the length results though.

 

[VeryNicePerson]

Guys you know what to do !
