Now we just need the movie to be great and it's truly the Ratchet Revolution.

 

[JayWood2010]

One thing I've learned here on GAF is to never take people's play times as gospel. I remember people swearing up and down that The Order took them 3 and half hours when it took me almost 8. The Last of Us could be cleared in 12 by some here when it took me close to 20 hours.

Point is everyone plays differently. It'll be different for a lot of folks.

This site is good for average play time.

When is the movie coming out? I know more about the game than the movie...

Waiting for Arthur Gies' Polygon review of 6/10 to screw everything up

29 April in the US. Varies for other countries. I'm not sure about Australia which is unfortunate...

[Bright-Light]

Well done man.
Great reception so far.

Now get to work on a sequel!!!!

 

[shield]

3D platformers are possibly my favourite genre, so I'm very happy that this is reviewing well. Hopefully Ratchet and Yooka-Laylee lead the way for a 3D platforming resurgence!

 

[Toki767]

Good reviews. After FUSE, Into the Nexus and Sunset Overdrive, I was beginning to think Insomniac were losing their touch.

 

[GravityInsanity]

He's reviewing the game?

 

[kobu]

can't wait for this

Oh, ok, gotcha. He's talking about after Prime discount, and it's still technically $32 + tax.

I thought the price was $30 and then the Prime discount could be applied. This is just the standard price then. Not really a deal in terms of regular MSRP.

 

[Trace]

So happy to see those reviews. Ratchet was a big part of my childhood so hopefully this introduces a whole new generation to Ratchet.

Well done Insomniac.

Ratchet is more of an action game than a platformer, but yeah, hoping for the same.

 

[Stat Flow]

Just, fantastic. I cannot wait to play this game! It's gonna be so relaxing coming home and playing some Ratchet. Fuck yeah!

I really hope that this game succeeds and it can usher in the revival of this style. Can we get a PS4K Jak & Daxter/Sly/Crash Bandicoot????!!

Can't wait to enjoy the fuck out of this game though.

 

[Comrade Crunch]

Good reviews. After FUSE, Into the Nexus and Sunset Overdrive, I was beginning to think Insomniac were losing their touch.

Sunset Overdrive was great though, so was Nexus other than the framerate.

 

[Toki767]

Sunset Overdrive was great though, so was Nexus other than the framerate.

I wasn't a big fan of it. The game really opened up after unlocking the Air Dash, but it felt like a chore to get through until then.

And then the humor was just so hit or miss without the character sounding like a douche.

 

[Pop]

Fantastic

I absolutely love R&C and I'm glad that this is reviewing well.

 

[Obliterator]

Wow this scored really well. Happy for Insomniac and I'm gonna have to pick this up

 

[dt2]

Good reviews. After FUSE, Into the Nexus and Sunset Overdrive, I was beginning to think Insomniac were losing their touch.

Didn't play the other two but I thought Sunset Overdrive was an awesome game. Reviewed pretty well too.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

The game was obviously gonna be good


Just hope the movie doesn't suck, I don't really know what to expect.

 

[Comrade Crunch]

For me, the gameplay kind of trumped everything else, I also loved the asthetic. Definitely agree about the humor, it was about 60/40.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Is this a new game or a remake of the original?

A bit of both.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

It's not just numbers though, it could be a letter as well, so 36 possibilities for each and hence 36^2=1296 different combinations.

I think the second to last one is either a 9 or a 7. And the last one could be anything. So I guess that leaves 72 values to try?

Ahh, sooo not such a good idea then lol.

 

[Hustler]

I was going to wait for this game to come down in price.... But with all these great reviews and wanting to support this kind of game development...... Preordered. Thank you Amazon, $32 woo!

 

[GeoramA]

Awesome scores. I hope a Going Commando remake is a go after this.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Same here. My backlog is ridiculous, but I want to support this game.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Awesome scores. I hope a Going Commando remake is a go after this.

I'd rather they make a new R&C game next. This is basically a reboot.

younplay as a male or female hero in the game?

But I'll never back down from defending Nexus or Sunset, both are great. Sunset is criminally under appreciated. Nexus too given it launched at the wrong time/platform with no support.

 

[FoxnHurley]

Really looking forward to playing a platformer game again. The reviews are stellar - your success is well deserved, Insomniac!

Special shout out to Karak (aka ACG on YouTube). I always look forward to your reviews because they provide excellent insight on the game's design and mechanics without being overly biased or spoiling the plot for your viewers. Kudos, brother!

Amazon must have received more preorders than expected because my copy isn't arrive until this Thursday with Prime two day shipping, and I ordered it on the 8th.

Was Nexus as a ps4 launch title ever a possibility? Not that I'm complaining that the game was made because I love it, but yeah it came out at an awful time and I'm not sure how that happened.

 

[Pedersen]

Why did I have to badly cut my thumb today of all days?( Now it hurts so fckn much to use a controller @!&#%!!!

Agreeeedddd on everything.

I think Nexus should have been a PS4 launch game. Do you guys kinda get this idea too?


I'm glad at least this new game seems to be getting a ton of push, I'm seeing it everywhere.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Same. Mine is insane, yet I pre-ordered to support these guys. I also really enjoy the series. Never played them on the PS2, first time was the PS3 games that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I'd rather they make a new R&C game next. This is basically a reboot.

Agreed. Probably the direction they will head if the movie and game are a success to garner sequels. The 'reboot' gives them a foundation to build upon the lore/canon, etc..

Plus having not played the first game, this will be a treat for me, that will be skipping most of my backlog and being played right away tomorrow.

Cool little, "Did You Know Gaming?" video on the series...

[privitsan02]

Really thought it would review in the mid to low 70's so I'm definitely impressed here. Even if there are few dud reviews here and there, I doubt it would be scoring lower than 80 on Metacritic.

Best wishes.

 

[sense]

What do I dooo? :/

I used a coin I swear, shit was just super old and brittle.

Sometimes scanning the Barcode with a Barcode scanner on your phone might work.

Preach on, man. Sunset is probably my favorite game of the generation so far. I would lose my mind if you guys ever made another one.

 

[Raylan]

Sunset Overdrive was great though, so was Nexus other than the framerate.

Scores-wise, it was "good", not "great".

 

[BadAss2961]

Does the Amazon Prime discount apply to digital?

 

[Cloud Strife]

Two of my favourite series in gaming releasing on the same day. Both reviewed exceptionally.

For fuck's sake.

 

[Sagroth]

Reviews look excellent. Been so hyped for this game. Shame I am going to have to wait a week or two to buy.

Well then, you know what you need to do.

Spoiler

PS4 release of a sequel.

I truly believe it was a victim of the platform.

 

[Chris Metal]

I thought only sandbox open world games reviewed remotely well these days due to the demographic of gamers and reviewers lust for quantity over quality in open world mmo titles over a more linear story driven approach. Rachet & Clank is an anomaly

Spoiler

/s

Great reviews so far.

 

[Vire]

Those last two characters combined offer 36 x 36 possiblities.... that's probably not a good idea.

Just phone Sony support.

Also I have to say... lol brah.... why you do dis? XD

Ugh.. just contacted support and they said I have to take a picture of both sides and then wait 2-3 business days.



Welp, guess Ratchet will wait.

I played as a male. I should have checked out the female voice though.

They were good games, but I didn't quite enjoy them as much as Tools of Destruction or A Crack in Time.

I'll definitely be sure to pick this up though. The demo I played at PSX was just great.

Preachhhhh both are good games.
