I still think it's better than All 4 One and FFA. - They got rid of most of Ratchet's animations. The worst offender to me is that when he walks, he smiles. When you run, his face smoothly transitions into a determined look. You can keep messing with him like this and it transitions so well. Also when he's low on HP his tired animation is very well detailed. In ACiT he just slouches forward with THE SAME FACE AS USUAL. - Ratchet's personality is very bland in this one. This was his Avril Lavigne Head Above Water era. - No dragonfly wings - The moons' camera views were annoying to me - Nefarious felt so random. Like, why him? - Talwyn gone for no reason at all. I thought this game would officially let you play as her since she was always there in Quest 4 Booty - The artstyle made Ratchet blend in more than stand out - Very few actual planets - In 2008 we had Secret Agent Clank which made him amazing to play. None of his cool gameplay carried over - The super serious story felt very forced to me - There are sections where Qwark's character model for some reason looks way worse than it should - Ratchet's outfit doesn't change in the cutscenes to match what he wears in gameplay. The only other game to do this is Size Matters but that one had actual CGI cutscenes, this one is in-game animations with fancy camera angles - Clank's story completely contradicts R&C 1 - No raritanium upgrades system. This was an absolute shock for me in 2009 because I loved it in Tools of Destruction - They got rid of Ratchet's funny voice lines like yee-ha when he jumps - Start up screen doesn't have a cool animation like the other games (minus Q4B) - Time travel as a whole is a very messy concept. Marvel is now suffering because of this, Harry Potter is infamous for the many plot holes due to it, and this one also raises a few eyebrows (why didn't Drek use the time machine?) It's just obvious that this story was pulled out of their ass - Very bland armor styles - The cool gameplay elements from Quest 4 Booty were not carried over which is odd - Talwyn should have been in Qwark's place. It makes no sense for Qwark to be there - The blue ship is ugly - No red slinkies - The "City" level is usually quite iconic but in this game it's unmemorable - Back in 2009 it did give me vibes of "this will probably be the last one" in a boring kind of way. Tools of Destruction felt so passionate and full of life, this one just feels tired and forced. - Overall it's very un-Ratchet & Clank-like due to the heavy focus on fantasy. It feels like what League of Legends is today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fauxtography Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I've been enjoying Rift Apart so far but I feel like the remake had better weapons. I find myself only wanting to use like, two of these guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poki Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) Insomniac had a major breach. Really really bad. Really sensitive details were exposed. All I can say is RIP Ratchet & Clank. Edited December 19, 2023 by Hey Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigalo Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 The breach shows they have plans for a future game tho? Like 6 years away but still. A following leak also showed RA sales weren’t as dire as initially thought and could have profited/at least broke even. that being said, the concept art for the next game is kinda giving me “alright this will probably be the last ratchet for a while” Spoiler People are predicting Ratchet will finally reunite with the other Lombaxes One of my favorite franchises of all time BUT… the last 4-5 games are incredibly same-y to me and I’d honestly rather just replay the original trilogy for the rest of my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poki Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 2016 is actually super nostalgic to me now. Partly because it was my last year of high school. Has that "magical" type of nostalgia to me if that makes sense. I love "abandoned airfield in the desert" environments so the revamped Veldin felt like home. And my old username (PoKiTaurus) was because of revamped Pokitaru haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fevesy Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 No one wants to wake up to the news... Ratchet and Clank is one of my earliest gaming memories. I did have a PS1 but I was too dumb to understand how a memory card worked at that age (I used to play Spyro from the start every single day nnn) but when I got a PS2 and Ratchet and Clank was my first game I hope they put the PS2/PS3 games on PS4/PS5 soon. I know they're on PS Plus Premium but I cba paying for that. Or put them officially on PC, we'd have so many cool mods for the original trilogy if it was on PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M!X Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 omg I have not seen this thread all let me read the OP Both 2016 and Rift Apart have fun gameplay but just sanitization of the franchise could not be more obvious, I have come to accept that we will never get original R&C humor ever again Also justice for all 4 one, if you played it with friends its fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigalo Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) The recall to 00's electronic trend in music lately takes me back to the soundtracks of the first couple of games, mostly the original. They are embedded in my brain and like a reference anytime I hear sounds from that time lol. So nostalgic Edited September 1 by Rigalo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poki Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 (edited) Size Matters Update: 6 more skill points and I'll unlock the Tree House. I'll share gifs soon, I've had so many WTF moments in this game And discovered (on my own) a few exploits I had no idea about. I don't use armor or strafe, it's basically like Crash Bandicoot / R&C 2002 this way. Curious how fast you can breeze by this game with armor + strafe + RYNO because so far I'm 50% done on Challenge Mode 1 in just 2 hours without armor and strafe. And no RYNO yet, I want maxed out titan weapons first. Edited September 2 by poki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
