Theres no coop, right?
Picking this and Dark Souls 3 up tomorrow, gonna play this bad boy first. I love this series, can't wait.
If it does well, I wonder if Sony will do a remake of Sly when that movie comes out. I love Sly 1, but it's incredibly easy and short. I think a lot can be done with a full remake for that game.

That gif... Isn't that exactly the same little dance Daxter sometimes does in J&D when you get a power cell?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Those are some glowing reviews. Maybe I won't wait for a sale after all...
Look at that smirk.
Why would there be coop in this? I understand All for One had it, but this is a traditional Ratchet game.

The 8 player co op was godly, was the soul of r2 for me. It being removed was the reason I didn't get r3. SO having 8 player co op was a reason I bought it.

Pre Ordered this and DS3. Cannot wait to play them both.
This is the gen where 86 = holy shit, lol...
Very good scores though. Can't wait to play this tomorrow
Cause it's fun to play this kind of games in coop?
"Traditional ratchet game" does not mean a coop mode shouldnt exist. Lots of games were single player only till coop was added on sequels.
The first playthroughs tend to be fine in my opinion. The problem is that repeated playthroughs, even on the highest difficulty settings, are far too easy. The reason for this is that Insomniac does a poor job scaling up the difficulty to match your improved gear. So you pretty much walk through them killing everything with little problem.
It's fun to feel like a badass, but why not also give some difficulty settings that still pose a challenge even with maxed out gear?
If you want a good coop game on PS4 then play Helldivers. My philosophy is that games should focus on their strengths instead of tacking on modes that are not their core focus. All for One experiment was the right thing to do because that game completely focused on coop. It didn't work, but it was better than trying to add it into something like A Crack in Time.

Holy shit, 8+ on the french website Gamekult, I expected less (like 7 or 6+) given their reputation, damn this game seems to be a true masterpiece when I see so many good reviews, can't wait to play it and see the movie!

Reviewers have finally become tougher and more and more sites are moving away from a 100 point scale to a 5 or 10 point scale. That later leads to a lot of great games getting between 8-9 on metacritic because that is how 4 and 4 1/2 stars out 5 gets converted on aggregate sites. Basically the 9 to 10 (or 90 to 100) range has been nearly completely eroded, because the only score higher than a 9 for many sites is a 10.

I wasn't so optimistic about the scores before the embargo but damn this game has so many high scores! I should really try it now.

I thought the game was only five hours? What's up with all these good scores?!
Kidding. Scores as I expected. Hope they market the hell out of this. Bundles too please.

Seeing your avatar made me read it on Crash's commercial actor's voice, lol.

Yeah. It's from Going Commando. The PS2 Ratchets used the same engine as Jak and Daxter and there's always been little nods between the two series back then.

Both studios used to be housed not only in the same building, but the same office, with literally ND and Insomniac desks next to one another, with the games being developed side by side. Naturally there was asset sharing as a result, and friendly nods as you mentioned.

My order is "Ready to pick up" at Best Buy. Anyone have any luck with this before release day? I have a feeling it would be a waste of time :/

It will be a waste of time. Tried it with MLB The Show. They will tell you to come back manana.
From my understanding their Point of Sale system will lock the sale out until tomorrow.
