Ratchet & Clank

[Jorge-Vieira]

Ratchet & Clank Return this Year With Their First PS4 Adventure

The Ratchet and Clank franchise has provided some of PlayStation’s most iconic characters. The duo has had countless adventures, for the PlayStation brand. The original Ratchet & Clank game, was designed and developed by Insomniac Games for Sony, they then released a further three Ratchet & Clank games, in consecutive years for the PlayStation 2. With the release of the PlayStation 3, Insomniac Games soon released the first game of three entries, to a new Ratchet & Clank Future saga, which was described as being the first game to deliver the experience of playing a Pixar movie. With the conclusion of the saga released in 2009, Insomniac Games’ North Carolina studio produced Ratchet & Clank All for One.

Ratchet & Clank going back to the beginning The series is based around Ratchet, a Lombax mechanic, and Clank, his Robotic companion. Ratchet is controlled by the player for the majority of the series, while Clank is also often playable. Captain Copernicus Leslie Quark (better known as Captain Qwark) is an anti-hero character in the series, also featuring as a major character. The series is known for its over-the-top weapons. The currency of the game’s worlds are bolts and the technology is usually based around futuristic Nanotech. While predominantly an action platform series, other genres have been included such as racing, space combat, shooter gameplay, tower defense, and puzzle.
2015 will see the release of two new installments in the franchise, one for the PlayStation 4 and one for the old generation of platforms. Although it remains unclear whether that will be for the PlayStation 3 or for the PlayStation Vita platform. Alongside these iterations there will be a feature film, set to grace the big screen within the same timeframe as the games release.

Insomniac Games has issued a statement (http://www.insomniacgames.com/games/ratchet-clank-ps4/) that reads as follows.



Ratchet & Clank have been a part of our lives at Insomniac for over 12 years. To this day, the series inspires us with the promise of new planetary adventures, propulsive action, and intergalactic wonder.
In 2015, we have the rare (actually, for us, unprecedented) opportunity to expand Ratchet’s universe simultaneously in two forms. We’ll continue our involvement with the Ratchet & Clank feature film. And we’re excited to announce that we’re also developing a game that shares the film’s vision of Ratchet’s origin story. As featured in Sony’s press conference, the game re-imagines the original Ratchet & Clank, with updated gameplay and completely new visuals built from the ground up for the PlayStation 4.
Our California and North Carolina studios are making the game together, marking our deepest cross-country collaboration to date. Many of the original developers responsible for the very first Ratchet & Clank game have an opportunity to create the stunning Solana Galaxy that they–and our fans–have always wanted to see. Longtime Design Director Brian Allgeier, Studio Director Chad Dezern, and Game Director Shaun McCabe will lead the project.
Stay tuned to our social media channels for more updates.

It certainly is very exciting that the PS4 will be getting a very special reboot of the franchise, that will introduce the duo, to many potential new fans and rekindle the adoration of old ones. The game will be built from the ground up for the system, something that hopefully will make the incredibly talented people at Insomniac games, take full advantage of the platform and provide us with what could be a CG quality visual experience. We will continue coverage of the game and will bring any new information that comes to light. At this year’s E3 there will surely be some new footage shown but until then you can check out the trailer for the film, coming out this year.

Ratchet & Clank PS4 – Insomniac’s Goal was to Match or Exceed the Fidelity of CG Animated Movies; Gameplay and Screenshots Revealed

Insomniac Games have released the first trailer for the upcoming Ratchet & Clank “re-imagining”, set to launch alongside the movie in 2016. The trailer, which can be watched below, features some jaw dropping gameplay footage.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Ratchet-Clank-3-635x198.jpg (http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Ratchet-Clank-3.jpg)
The developers state that they started thinking of Ratchet & Clank as a “re-imagining” of the 2002 original, revised to tie in with the deeper version of Ratchet’s origin story as seen in the film. They envisioned a curated Ratchet & Clank experience that borrowed from the spirit of the classic PS2 titles while infusing some of the best elements from the Ratchet & Clank Future games.

<iframe width="635" height="388" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5QNhyTtzeJ8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>




The new game ended up with elements based on the original, but at the same time updated with modern controls, several new planets, new and updated gameplay segments, all new Clank gameplay, boss fights, new flight sequences and more. All at the same time constructed to take advantage of the PS4’s graphical prowess.

http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Ratchet-Clank-5-635x357.jpg


The arsenal is changed quite a bit as well, with the majority of the weapons being completely new, but with fan-favourite tools of destruction from the Ratchet & Clank Future series filling out Ratchet’s kit. From the brand new Pixelizer (which transforms enemies into explosive 8-bit pixels) to franchise favourites like the dance-party-inducing Groovitron and wise-cracking robotic bodyguard Mr. Zurkon, Ratchet & Clank’s arsenal has never been better.

When we were asked recently to come up for a special bonus for fans that support Ratchet & Clank (PS4) by pre-ordering it, we went back to the list of our favourite weapons that we hadn’t yet brought to the game. In the end, it was a no-brainer, and I’m ecstatic to say that when you pre-order the game, you’ll get access to one of my all-time favourite weapons from Ratchet & Clank 2: Locked & Loaded – The Bouncer. The Bouncer launches a bomb that releases a plethora of tiny homing bombs that bounce towards targets. One of the most effective and spectacular Ratchet & Clank weapons ever.
http://cdn2.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Ratchet-Clank-8.jpg (http://cdn2.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Ratchet-Clank-8.jpg)
Ratchet & Clank will be priced at $39.99 but is said to be way bigger than Into the Nexus, a ten to twelve hours experience plus upgrades / trophies etc.





You cam watch a leaked 8-minute gameplay video below:

In case the video gets taken down there’s a backup here (http://www.fileconvoy.com/dfl.php?id=g01d7db635ca1dd7e9996764631e5093cddaf4e ce6).
Previous Ratchet and Clank games always ran at 60 fps. Into the Nexus was the first game in the series to run at 30 fps. James Stevenson, Community Lead at Insomniac Games, explains that they are using 30fps for the new game as well in order to attain CG quality visuals.

We’re 1080p/30fps… our goal was to match or exceed the fidelity of CG animated movies. When we first started we realized that was actually possible with PS4. Pretty exciting.
Ratchet & Clank will launch for PlayStation 4 in Spring 2016 alongside the animated film of the same name. The film will be released by Focus Features in the United States on April 29, 2016. We will be seeing more of Ratchet & Clank at Sony’s E3 2015 press conference (http://wccftech.com/playstation-ceo-e3-2015-exciting-show-games-lot-advantage-ps4/) on June 15, and we will be bringing you any new information as soon as it becomes available.

Ratchet & Clank – Development of the PS4 “Re-imagining” is 100% Done

A source close to BGU (http://www.basementgamingunited.com/ratchet-clank-ps4-development-done-franchises-sales-stalled/), a representative of Australian retailer EB Games who attended E3, has confirmed that while at the June event, the topic of the game’s development timeline was brought up, where those Playstation and Insomniac employees manning the game declared that the game was 100% complete.

Ratchet & Clank PS4 New Footage; Releases April 12

During the Playstation Experience, Sony and developer Insomniac Games showed off footage for the Ratchet & Clank remake that will be hitting the PS4 on April 12 2016.

Ratchet & Clank was announced in 2014 during Sony´s E3 press conference. The game is based on the original Rachet & Clank that released on the PS2 back in 2002 and features more than an hour of new cinematics in vibrant 1080p, new locations, weapons, bosses and more.

On a fine day on the planet Veldin, a furry Lombax named Ratchet is working on his spaceship when a robot crash lands near his home. Ratchet recovers the robot from the wreckage, naming him “Clank.” Clank shows Ratchet a recording of Chairman Drek of the Blarg race. In the recording, Drek explains that his home planet has become so polluted it is now uninhabitable. Drek’s solution is to build a new planet for his race by extracting areas from other planets! What’s worse is that Drek has developed a superweapon called the Deplanetizer which will destroy Veldin to make room for his new planet. Fearing that Drek will destroy everything in his path, Ratchet and Clank team up for their first explosive adventure to save the galaxy.

Ratchet & Clank PS4 File Size Revealed On EU PS Stores

Ratchet & Clank for the PS4 has its file size revealed via the European PS Store(s). While the game isn’t listed under the upcoming games section on the EU PS Stores, it can be found with a quick search.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/23685668433_b015ebeb30_o-1-635x357.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/23685668433_b015ebeb30_o-1.jpg)
Currently, only the European Playstation Stores (https://store.playstation.com/#%21/nl-nl/games/ratchet-clank/cid=EP9000-CUSA01073_00-RATCHETPSNPREORD) mention the game’s file size – the US Store still lists the game with a file size of 8MB (https://store.playstation.com/#%21/en-us/games/ratchet-clank-full-game-pre-order/cid=UP9000-CUSA01047_00-RATCHETPS4000000).
Ratchet & Clank for the PS4 weighs in at 26.4GB According to the game’s description on the European stores, Ratchet & Clank fans will need to free up 26.4GB of hard drive space to be able to enjoy Insomniac’s reboot of the series. With recent titles weighing in at 40GB or more, this is quite a decent size.

Earlier today, Insomniac’s community lead James Stevenson, announced the game’s release (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2016/01/11/ratchet-clank-ps4-release-date-confirmed-box-art-debuts/) date for Europe. Ratchet & Clank will release on April 15th in France, and on April 20th everywhere else in the PAL region. In the US, PS4 owners will be able to enjoy the title on April 12th.

The first instalment of Ratchet & Clank for PS4 will tell a new version of the origin story many of you will remember. It features modern Ratchet & Clank controls, new planets, new and improved gameplay, all-new boss fights, new flight sequences and much, much more.

Coinciding with the major motion picture, the game tells the story from the perspective of Captain Qwark, so you can expect a different (more… Qwarktastic) twist on events. We hope that you’re looking forward to being able to romp around the Solana Galaxy once again with the whole gang – Ratchet, Clank, Qwark, Big Al, Dr. Nefarious, and the evil Chairman Drek, as well as many brand new characters – as much as we are!
Ratchet & Clank for the PS4 was announced during Sony’s E3 2014 press conference, and contains elements from the original PS2 title in full HD.

Ratchet and Clank Story Trailer Released

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ratchet-and-clank-screenshot-04-psv-us-10jun15-635x357.jpg
It’s less than a month until two of PlayStation’s most popular characters make their debut on the PS4, as part of a much needed remake of the original game. Now a story trailer has been released for Ratchet and Clank.
And while the new title is definitely a retelling of the original PS2 title, it’s also a remake to tie in with the brand new film based on the IP. There’ll be a lot of familiar elements, and quite a few new things as well.


<iframe width="635" height="388" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/88ysFmeViz4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>




James Stevenson, community lead at Insomniac Games, said:

We’ve joked that Ratchet & ClankPS4 is the game based on the film based on the game…. and that’s actually pretty accurate! The film and game are designed as complementary pieces. They tell the same origin story of Ratchet & Clank battling Chairman Drek, with the same major beats and character arcs. The film focuses a touch more on character development and the game is a bit more focused on the action that happens between the scenes. Our goal was to take advantage of what each medium does best.
While the original game was fantastic at the time, it’s dated today. It’s still a lot of fun, but it’s desperately missing some of the features that were added across the many, many sequels. This remake will bring it bang up to date, and give fans another chance to revisit.
Ratchet and Clank will be available April 12th in the US, and April 20th in EU territories. The UK will get it two days later, on April 22nd.
