Support NeoGAF

I thought the prime offer was valid up to 2 weeks after launch?

yeah it is. newly released will still get the discount.

 

[Boke1879]

Hopefully after this. Sony can put the right studios on games like this and mini revive the genre a bit.

 

[thatJohann]

And don't forget that today's the last day to order the game for $31 on Amazon if you have a Prime account. I just did!

I have Prime and it's showing as $39.88...

 

[kaching]

Those never bothered me. Are they 30fps with the rest on the game? That would feel kind of weird.

I'm pretty sure they were always the same framerate as the rest of the game, which was 60 for all of the PS2 games. They changed over to 30fps sometime during the PS3 run (after the 1st PS3 game, I think).

But it does bother me a little that they haven't improved this element of the game, given that it such a potentially great complement to a galactic swashbuckling sci-fi adventure. Of course you want some dog fights in there!

You can still get it for $32 for two weeks after release with Prime.

 

[Kralamoonard]

the game feels a bit short.. when you compare it to the older Ratchet & Clank games.

I don't think that's saying much when it's also $20 cheaper than the older Ratchet & Clank games -- you have to factor that in as well...

 

[DigSCCP]

My bet was 87.
So far its possible.
Sony fix the damn pre download issue.
People buy this.
With this scores, the movie and nice sales Im pretty sure we are going to have a sequel!

Not really a review but Digital Foundry has put up their technical analysis, sorry if someone alrealdy posted

Very stable 30fps all the way. Nice!

 

[DriftingSpirit]

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.

Preach.

It is about your pace as a player. There is not an objective time that everyone will end on.

The discount only shows up during checkout

 

[Ricky_R]

I remember the times when GameRankings was relevant...

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Great to see it review so well. Action Platformer genre is an underserved genre, and I was worried it may not align with reviewers current tastes. Seems many were yearning for this actually.

GodDAMN those framerate and frametime measurement are so stable it doens't even look like they're running.

Impressive.

 

[Vire]

Bit of a rough stretch there for Insomniac, but we fucking back bitchez:

 

[Hanmik]

Very stable 30fps all the way. Nice!

it really feels stable.. but you sometime get some stutter after a "large" fight against enemies. The game pauses for a micro-second once the enemies are dead. I noticed it a lot more when I played Challenge mode.. so it might have to do with the amount of bolts and nuts you get for killing them.

 

[OriginalThinking]

Stuff liked it. 5/5

Stuff Review

 

[DeepEnigma]

Whatcha' talkin' bout Willis?

Ahem:

And well, we have a site for that to get a barometer based on the past several mainline games.

I am seeing a pattern here.

 

[kaskade]

Those reviews are beautiful. I'm so happy to see another platformer like this come out. Especially at 40 bucks. Maybe this will cause a mini resurgence.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

MLB The Show, Ratchet & Clank and soon Uncharted 4. PS4 is hitting its stride with these exclusives.

 

[Warxard]

Bit of a rough stretch there for Insomniac, but we fucking back bitchez:

Yeah after Sunset, I was absolutely convinced that Insomniac could make another excellent game.

Fuse was supposed to get a PC release though?

 

[Kenshin001]

Nice scores. As someone who enjoyed Tools of Destruction and loved A Crack in Time it makes me happy to see Insomniac back in top form.

 

[DigSCCP]

MLB The Show, Ratchet & Clank and soon Uncharted 4. PS4 is hitting its stride with these exclusives.

Add Alienation to your list.
2016 is gonna be a great year for PS4.

 

[Burbeting]

Great reviews, positively surprised for sure.

 

[Elixist]

nice reviews, i was close with 83 prediction. i excite i hope amazon ships today. i imagine playin on hard ill get at least 12 hours i like to look at the pretty grafx

 

[Mexen]

My friend is a huge fan of Ratchet and Clank. These reviews should put a smile on his face.

 

[MadClacker]

Pretty damn good reception so far! As if there was any doubt...

 

[Elandyll]

Add Alienation to your list.
2016 is gonna be a great year for PS4.

I also have hopes for Shadow of the Beast, coming in May

 

[Always-honest]

Wow, amazing scores. Will buy.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Add Alienation to your list.
2016 is gonna be a great year for PS4.

So hyped for Alienation.

I also have hopes for Shadow of the Beast, coming in May

That too! Damn it. So many games, actually too many sometimes, lol.

 

[datwr]

I'm really happy about these scores, looking forward to it. Really hoping for a sequal now also.

 

[AngryMoth]

Sweet, happy to see it reviewing well. I am totally in the mood for one of these games, Crack in Time feels like a long time ago now. Hope the game does well for them

 

[Bunta]

Nice, looking forward to playing it this week. Need to wrap up Uncharted 3 tonight so I can move on to this.

 

[ethomaz]

Solid scores... great.

 

[GIANKRATOS]

Congratulation Insomniac, can't wait to play the game

 

[DriftingSpirit]

My 85 prediction was (almost) on the money!

 

[Machina]

April was a pretty quiet month for me up until now (Alienation was my only preorder this month), but these reviews changed that. About time we had a gorgeous cartoon platformer on next gen. I'm in.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Bit of a rough stretch there for Insomniac, but we fucking back bitchez:

They were back with Sunset Overdrive. I'm glad to see this game is no different. Hopefully this is their last Ratchet for a while, though, as I want to see them stretch their creative muscle.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Congrats to Jsteve and his team.

 

[Aceofspades]

Amazing scores, game is shaping to be brilliant.

 

[reKon]

A good Ratchet and clank game in 2016. wow what a surprise.

It's one of the games in the main series so not really a surprise at all.

 

[Icyflamez96]

It's one of the games in the main series do not really a surprise at all.

tbh

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Nice, I would've bought this from the US PSN, but Dark Souls 3. So I am buying the retail version on the 20th when it comes out officially over here.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

It's one of the games in the main series do not really a surprise at all.

I guess with how reviews seeming to be a bit tougher this gen, there was room for doubt. The franchise is great overall though so it isn't that surprising.

 

[Osahi]

Thanks. Im gonna be really disappointed if I have to wait for this to download tomorrow

I know how it fees dude, I have to wait a whole other 9 days if the streetdate doesn't break over here

I've been really longing for a new game like this for quite some time now.

 

[lt519]

Nice reviews, good way to start the day. Will be buying off the psn store shortly.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

They were back with Sunset Overdrive. I'm glad to see this game is no different. Hopefully this is their last Ratchet for a while, though, as I want to see them stretch their creative muscle.

They might only do Ratchet games for Sony if they insist on owning the IPs. Maybe they can reach some type of compromise based on the success of this game.

 

[Karak]

I guess with how reviews seeming to be a bit tougher this gen, there was room for doubt. The franchise is great overall though so it isn't that surprising.

The pricepoint also helped tremendously.

 

[Warxard]

Well, they have Edge of Tomorrow (Oculus 3rd Person Horror thing) next and Song of the Deep. They're definitely not slowing down in the original IP business, so as long as the pubs they're working with are cool with the IP ownership thing. (Which, for some reason aren't many?)

Know what would be GREAT? Sunset Overdrive 2 insomniac pls

Would have done Street Fighter some good too..

lol no it wouldn't

 

[Vire]

Would have done Street Fighter some good too..

Hoping Sunset comes to PC so I can play it!!!!
