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

For SO?

I absolutely loved that game.

Bluekaveli · Apr 11, 2016

15 hrs? Holy shit, that's good.

Primethius · Apr 11, 2016

All these great reviews.

Please, please translate into great sales.

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.

This got discussed briefly at one point. But the problem really was that the PS3 and PS4 were completely different architectures, and our engine was built for PS3 and the game was super hooked into it.

We had the Fuse engine (which became the Sunset Overdrive engine and now the engine powering this Ratchet and Clank) - but I don't think we could've had it ready to ship something on PS4.

So basically a combo of our Engine work happening all on Sunset, and the game being so hooked into PS3, made it not really possible to pull off.

The bummer is of course hat lots of people never played Nexus, which has a fun story and vibe, and great characters (Neftin - who even is referenced in the movie, thanks for playing Nexus!)

That's not the question here. It's a Review Thread, so we're talking about scores-only

It was medicore imho :/ Played a few hours and stopped. Didn't like it.

Pai Pai Master · Apr 11, 2016

Interesting. Figured that's how it went but glad the game was still made. Framerate aside the combat was very refined and fun, and yeah I loved the new characters.

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

Yeah if you go back - try he female voice, I /love/her delivery and sarcasm

Cyborg · Apr 11, 2016

Just to support it I will buy it. I had/have no intrest in this game but let me support this great scoring game!

Plum · Apr 11, 2016

Well these reviews cement it, I'll get this as the perfect stop-gap between DaS3 and Uncharted. I've missed shortish games that aren't just open world checklist simulators (not that they're bad in themselves, just variety is always good).

So FUSE made this game possible..? bless FUSE then..

Struct09 · Apr 11, 2016

Didn't expect the game to review so well. Ordered from Amazon, but it's going to have to wait until I get some quality Dark Souls 3 time in.

Jigorath · Apr 11, 2016

Very nice.

Great work Insomniac.

One can only hope. We need more games like this. It's a forgotten genre.

I would really like to see this be the relaunching of the series(and genre).

boredandlazy · Apr 11, 2016

Glad to see its reviewing so well. I've only played the future trilogy so this is new for me.

antitrop · Apr 11, 2016

I haven't played a R&C game since Going Commando, but I'm feeling in the mood for this.

HStallion · Apr 11, 2016

I dont want to buy another game already but after watching some of the trailers and now seeing the reviews I may just have to go use my Best Buy gift card to get this game.

Shows $39.88?

If you have Prime, it says: Your price at checkout is $31.99. It's right under "Pre-order Price Guarantee." near the price.

TheWorst · Apr 11, 2016

Glad it's reviewing well. Hope sales are decent, as I'd love to see more games like this.

Still feel like the film is going to be trash.

MegaSackman · Apr 11, 2016

Fuck it, I'll buy this. Was on the fence because of Dark Souls III but Ratchet will find it's place in between.

Neuromancer · Apr 11, 2016

I knew it was going to be a great game but I'm still surprised to see how positive the reviews have been. Congrats to the team and I hope it means good sales for them, too.

taco543 · Apr 11, 2016

Fucking ready!!!

SkoomaSuckinSwit · Apr 11, 2016

Sold. $34 couldn't resist. Looks gorgeous and fun to play with the kids.

Kaako · Apr 11, 2016

Pleasantly surprised at this game reviewing well so far. Happy for the good people at Insomniac Games.

VanWinkle · Apr 11, 2016

OH WOW. Amazing scores. Congrats to Insomniac for what looks to be a fantastic game.

DeaDPo0L84 · Apr 11, 2016

I feel like this will easily be in my top three games of 2016. Come on midnight!

Shalashaska161 · Apr 11, 2016

Wow those are great reviews. Insomniac and Sony must be pretty happy.

TheExhaustedWalrus · Apr 11, 2016

Bought. Looks amazing and the reviews are great, plus it's only $35! Can't wait! I love the first three R&C games and the early PS3 ones. Graphics look incredible.

AgentOtaku · Apr 11, 2016

Was gonna wait a bit but reviews pushed me to insta-buy

Bra-fucking-vo insomniac!

bwahhhhh · Apr 11, 2016

woooooo!! GOGO Ratchet!

Gestault · Apr 11, 2016

Near universal praise? Sign me the hell up.

FelipeMGM · Apr 11, 2016

So, was the preload issue resolved?

EDIT: Fuck, I confused this with the OT

Super_Cobra · Apr 11, 2016

Well done insomniac. Now give me a remake of Resistance: Fall of man. And let's pretend the sequels never happened.

So those visuals are basically running from a multiplatform engine? You put other devs to shame then, very impressive stuff!

Makes me if a fine tuned PS4 engine could surpass that noticeably, guess we'll never know.

DrunkShogun · Apr 11, 2016

Got other games to buy but the reviews are good to see. Will buy the game during a dry spell.

Elitist1945 · Apr 11, 2016

Glad to see all the great reviews. Can't wait to play it

pixellated_man · Apr 11, 2016

Never in my wildest expectations did I expect scores like these...congratulations Insomniac!

NZerker12 · Apr 11, 2016

Ughhh!!! I don't know whether I should just be patient and wait to the 22nd or just cancel my preorder and make a US PSN account.

Seriously the wait for the UK is fucking stupid.

Possumowner · Apr 11, 2016

Wow.I expected decent reviews,but not this good.Pleased at the playing time of it as well.

Don'tBeWeird · Apr 11, 2016

Nice reviews. Not a huge fan of R&C games, but at that price... I can't say no.

I would love a similar kind of reboot for the Resistance franchise.

Octavianus · Apr 11, 2016

Didn't expect the reviews to be this positive. I figured this would be getting 7's mostly.

Freeman76 · Apr 11, 2016

Polygon 3/10 its racist towards rabbits

Me, too. I expected very solid reviews, given the age of the origin, but not that. Cool!

Wow? Really?

Seeing you and others having little faith in Insomniac is really disheartening.

They are a great studio, that have had a couple of bad ratchet games that were not really ratchet.

But if you look at their track record their pretty damn solid as a studio. Have some of the best animators.

The Lamp · Apr 11, 2016

Well, my concerns are assuaged. I'll give this one a shot. Pre-ordered.

2 week wait is brutal man. I got it from the US store via $40 of PSN digital codes bought from Amazon

Papacheeks · Apr 11, 2016

Reading it now why is everyone so shocked at the good reviews?

It's like people wanted this game to be bad or something?

Hydrargyrus · Apr 11, 2016

Better reviews than expected. Seems like it's a fantastic game.

And the price is even better!
