| Kresnik said: Yep, that looks like Ratchet & Clank alright. Very pretty, but I think people are forgetting just how pretty the PS3 games were to be honest. Into the Nexus was stunning (also ran at 30FPS which allowed them to push the graphical boat out). I can kinda see why they did this before E3, because as much as I love Ratchet, it's not a top-priority franchise for Sony anymore. But I'm glad they're still funding Insomniac to make the games (Sly 5, wru!?) Anyway, hyped. And will pre-order as soon as available in Shopto! |
I think it's more that E3 isn't Insomniac's gig. They've always been a Gamescom company, and Ratchet's always been a Gamescom series. The one time they really went for E3 was OverStrike, and...well...yeah...Plus Sony seems to want to focus hard on 2015 releases at E3, so let's get the easy stuff out of the way now.
With the movie coming out on top of the game, I'd argue that Ratchet is still very much Sony's main mascot. Nowhere near as recognizable as Mario obviously, but it's the only franchise that Sony (or rather, Insomniac, but you catch my drift) really experiments with while still delivering almost consistently annual experiences. Depending on the marketing push the game and movie get, this should easily sell like crazy and bring in a ton of new fans to the series.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
