Holy bolts! It's Ratchet and Clank...sort of

Well, looks like Ratchet and Clank are moving on to something new. Not to mention a new look for Ratchet that I have mixed feelings about. The title of the video below gives you a hint on what kind of gameplay you will be dealing with this time in the Ratchet and Clank series. Let's hope this won't be a flop like Crash and Spyro. I'd hate to see a perfectly good video game hero go down the tubes. I'd still get the game either way just to see what it is like. So I ask, what do you guys think about this new game?

That graphics look better that the last game!! :D
And It looks fun overall but I Dont like Ratchets new look at all!!!
What happened, did his head get squished in a car accident or something!?
And clank is waaaay to big!!
I mean, I know you have to control him but its too unrealistic, on game he is smaller that the over (It doesn't make sense)

Clank isnt fitting on Ratchet's back anytime soon.

And Ratchet's head was flattened just a bit too much. The designs from ACiT were the best, IMHO.
Should of stuck with those.

:SH:

I'm really not sure about this... They may have just killed the series for me.

Ya know, this might just become a spin-off, and the next Future game would keep normal gameplay. I sure hope so at least, it looked almost Sonic Heroes bad.

(Almost. *Shudders*)

This doesnt look like a ratchet game, but it could be fun.

That would be a nightmare if it was Sonic Heroes-like. Oh the horror...

You read my mind!! 0_o

Crash didn't flop IMO, if you actually give the new games time there pretty fun, i have been playing Mind Over Mutant, its pretty fun, and i bet Crash of the titans is fun too :o

Anyway i have a feeling this will turn into a PSN game :o

Looks cool, but not really as epic as the future saga.
Multiplayer is something I've wanted in the R&C games so that is awesome... but that doesn't really convince me...
The redesigns of the characters looked like they were going a bit back to the PS2 style... meh

I probably won't buy this at launch, let's see what people think about it.

Well I'm really looking forward to see how this game will turn out. I'm happy that they are moving onto something new but I hope they don't stray too far from the original gameplay. I think the ratchet re-design is pretty good, the new face makes him more likeable, not that I disliked the character before though. I might have preferred it to be just like the current games but with competitive online multiplayer however, I'm not sure.

Hey guys...to answer your question about the different style...

With the addition of everyone playing on one screen...some characters were a little harder to distinguish than others, for example, Clank was too tiny on the screen, Nefarious too thin. Our character artist over in NC spent a considerable amount of time tweaking each character to look different while still keeping the group look harmonious.

There is some discussion about it in a thread I made.

Awesome trailer disection thread.
More gameplay videos (6 mins)

The game looks pretty cool imo, but then again I'm a huge fan of R&C. :P

Apparently, it takes place in the PS2 R&C universe. And it hasn't got the "Future" title so it's most likely a spin-off. Either way, I think it looks epic. Finally, a multiplayer R&C! I don't see why people are moaning! It looks brilliant!

OH MY GOSH!!!................ IDK about you guys but they made a mistake on this. R&C is my Fav game series but this looks WAY too...... idk it just looks bad... well it will probably be a good game since insomniac made it but...... i really wish they just stuk with the original gameplay......

I actually, kinda like the new style.
But I do think this will be a PSN title like Quest for Booty.

You may be on to something, Jedi.

I wish they would make a Ratchet: Deadlock type game with online co-op for the PS3. I really enjoyed Deadlock on the PS2 so it'd be awesome if they made something like that for this console too.

Isn't that very similar to the new game announced?
(is all about co-op online)

Btw, it is a disk game. ;)

In a way except Deadlock was more gladiator-ish and way more gritty looking. Check the vid below. Back then there was online but many people didn't have the means to get on because of ethernet. Btw, wasn't there another game coming out that had Ratchet&Clank, Jak&Daxter, and Sly in one game that supports the PS Move?

Yes, it's called Heroes on the Move and being developed by Nihilistic Software.

I see a lot of people moaning about this game, but to me it looks awesome. I'm a fanboy teen, I don't want Ratchet and Clank to end. And I will buy it, regardless of what the critics say. I want it to stay alive, and making it a co-op game is doing just that, with all of the hilarious charm of the series it's hard to see where this game faults.

And you can play as Captain Quark. Is that not enough? :)
