Preach on brother!
Adding a pre-order bonus, given the metrics that probably exist for what it does to sales, may have given them a little more leeway with the budget.
Just a guess.

That looks really good. The art style still holds up well. And yea, gonna echo the prE3 disbelief. Crazy week ahead.
No, it did not. Up Your Arsenal had a boss in a quite similar train-section, though.

Is the release date for the game the 30th of June 2016 as it says on the PSN, or is that a placeholder and the real date is TBA?
The standard mechanism by which something always gets left on the cutting room floor for any project, videogame or otherwise, y'know? Budget is finite, Resources are finite, Time is finite. To add more when you've hit the limits of your project's budget/resources/time requires special incentive to do so, regardless of what it is.

Nah, you're thinking of the Giant Clank boss at the end of a similar train in R&C 3.

Yes you do. It's great, really pulls on some nostalgia strings if you played the rest of the series.
Are the game cutscenes real-time like SO? In the earlier PS3 games, there was always such a huge dichotomy going from the cutscene to the game.

Lol don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, I was legit wondering why
Oh, interesting. Well if that's the reason, then I won't complain. I was skeptical that it would be short given the price, but jstevenson cleared that up, and everything he said about Sunset Overdrive before it launched was proven true, so I trust this too.

Ah.
Well like others said, similar games have launched for $40. I must admit, I was surprised by it being that low.
I'm hoping it's something similar for Australia, and not a situation like Uncharted HD where that game is $80 digital and $100 AU physical.
The movie comes out April 26th 2016. I am going out on a limb here and say that the game will probably launch around then as well.

This is the best looking game ever so far IMHO. Can't freaking wait...

I would hope so but the PSN date has me a little worried. I do like confirmed dates since I might be moving early next year and it helps me with when I can preorder it, whether I should hold off until later in the year or if sooner is better.

This could actually be the best movie licensed game of all time

60 fps is the ultimate eye candy to me.
i would've bought it at 60, i was excited for a moment. i'm allowed to express my disappointment with their decision.

Wow I feel dumb, Combustor was the gun in Tools of Destruction. I was thinking of the Blaster.

Look absolutely brilliant. I've never played a Ratchet game before as well, I'm thinking this would be a great one to get into the series.

Just look at the reaction this game is getting. If it had some quality time at E3, it would have been huge.
No it would be glossed over by other games and wouldn't receive enough attention

that was a major mission goal of ours for this game

Or it could have been shoved aside in favour of some other game. It's nice they put the trailer out now, so we can all focus our attention on it rather than in the middle of a conference.
Though I do wish the 8 minutes of gameplay was shown at E3. That would have been nice, but I can't really complain cause now I get to watch it over and over again instantly without distracting myself from the conference.
Not if there are other big games announce at the same time. I rather it has a good exposure before E3.
They are going to want to pull in as many kids as possible who go to see the movie too. IMO its a very very good move
I came here to say and ask exactly this, although I did finish the first game (my favourite out of the original three). I have all of them but never played the PS3 games for some reason.
The timing is perfect.
The trailer has surprised almost everyone and it's building up well during the pre-E3 time where it has everyone's attention and more time for itself, rather than have the vast majority of the press focusing on multiplayer-only E3-game-of-the-show-number-3, whatever that is.
hhhhhhhhgggggg It's incredible. I can't get over how INCREDIBLE it looks.
I knew it would look awesome on current gen hardware, but there's clearly something more that apparently I couldn't even imagine before seeing it now.

PS3 ports of the original trilogy are good, though there's this one section in the third game where the framerate goes to the single digits. It was in the sewers. You don't really have to hang around there for too long though.

At $40, I can't even say no. Went ahead and pre-ordered the game.
