I agree with @The Last Stand about it being the system’s killer app. It’s basically a third, more “family-friendly” pillar to Sony’s Demon’s Souls remake and Miles Morales. And I know I’m leaving out Sackboy: A Big Adventure, that’s due to it being a ”transition“ title for PS4 users than a proper PS5 exclusive.

Not even because of it being family friendly, I hope they don't go that route after R&C 2016. Demon Souls is a remake, Miles Morales and Sackboy: A Big Adventure are also out on PS4.

Rift Apart has the advantage of being a known Sony property and releasing only on PS5. That could help with sales.

If TJ Fixman’s script for the film (and the game based off of said film) was kept then the writing would’ve been along the lines of his R&C entries: decent if a bit geared towards fans of the IP and probably more along the lines of being 1-to-1 in terms of being like the original PS2 game. You wouldn’t have gotten garbage like Dr. Nefarious usurping Drek at the last minute.

I feel with the current movie/game script, they ended up combining plot threads with R&C1 and UYA. The end result was confusing and below average.

If Insomniac wants to rejuvenate interest with R&C, they'd re-release the Future trilogy to PS4 as an appetizer to prepare for Rift Apart or a potential sequel.
 
I know this is a nitpick and mostly pointless at this point since movie R&C looks like its dead but...

Why the fuck did they feel the need to rename Metropolis (a perfectly fine, if cliche name) to Aleero City? It makes no sense.

Ask the writers. In the trailer, they mentioned Metropolis.

There's a few Going Commando references in 2016. Would they do a reimagining a la Going Commando or just as a joke?

And that ending in the game. New game? One off? How did Qwark end up in prison? Who is Grimm? I have more questions with 2016 than any other game.

Also, Carbonox is back. One of my favorite armors in the series. Grinded like crazy for it back in GC.

They've also said that the female Ratchet's name should be revealed soon. People are speculating it'll be Rivet since they described people as being "rosy" when they hear the news.

I like the box art. Although I think that Clank should not be on it for parity. Ratchet on one side and the female Lombax on the other would flow better with the split design.

Personally, I do not like how armor covers Ratchet's face, particularly in cutscenes. You lose the facial expressions. That's why I usually do not upgrade to full armor until New Game+. Deadlocked handled this armor system best.

And it looks like Ratchet & Clank is going the standard/deluxe edition route. For a few bucks more, you can get a head start on currency, stickers, and a digital art book and soundtrack!

I hope you are unable to purchase Raritanium with real money.
 
Carbonox was the strongest armor in R&C2, so I hope this pre-order doesn't just fuck up the difficulty.

personal opinion: Carbonox made the game way too easy, looked baller though

90% damage reduction will do that

They should just put a helmet off option in the menu, seems like the easiest fix

That's what I'm saying. Deadlocked did that.

I never noticed a difference with armor protection in games.

Armor pieces, are they going a Size Matters route and having us mix and match armor?

Ah, forgot about that. Only played Deadlocked once and haven't touched it in years

They definitely gave you a buff. I don't quite remember if you could change back and forth between armors, but if you were getting hit for 8 pips by some of the late game stuff, it would go to like 4 pips for example.

That sounds fine. Nothing wrong with a little extra customization
 
The Last Stand said:
Anything that reminds me of Size Matters makes me nervous.

Even with max armor in Size Matter, you could take so many hits before dying.
Click to expand...
True, but Size Matters was developed by High Impact Games, who also made Secret Agent Clank and Jak and Daxter Lost Frontier(another game from then that I hate). I would hope Insomniac of all companies has a better idea on how to balance their armor and damage after all these years
 
I wasn't following this. Is this nu-Ratchet, or old Ratchet?

Old ratchet in new style.

Huh. Guess R&C 2016 failed more than I thought, if they went back to the old canon.

That said, given the """quality""" of writers they had the first time around, I have absolutely no faith that they won't butcher both Ratchet's and the new lombax character.

New Lombax character doesn't even have a name yet and she's already the most popular thing the series has ever churned out.

Any shortcomings will be forgiven for real cummings.
