I love Ratchet and Clank and would definitely buy this one when i get a PS5 later this year as i enjoyed the Future games on PS3 and the remake on PS4.

2021 is shaping up for Sony’s exclusives now with Destruction: All Stars in February, Returnal in April 30th and Ratchet and Clank for June 11th.

We just need a release date now for around September for maybe Horizon: Forbidden West and a November release for hopefully either God of War: Ragnarok or Gran Turismo 7 and then it will be one of the strongest first year for any PlayStation console and a contender for PS2’s 2001.

There isn't a game in the R&C series I haven't loved. Even the kinda meh entries like All 4 One and the weird tower defense game were still a tonne of fun even if they weren't particularly groundbreaking or outstanding like the PS2 trilogy and the PS3 games. 

A Crack in Time and Up your Arsenal are among my favourite games of all time. Going Commando and tools of Destruction are also outstandingly great games, while the original and remake are both a tonne of fun. Deadlocked and the small mini games (All 4 One, Quark Squad or whatever, Deadlocked, quest for Booty, and Size Matters) were all fun as well. Few franchises have been this consistently fun and enjoyable and I'm super stoked to see that Rift Apart is going to be one of the first major titles for the PS5 that is made exclusively for the console and utilizes the hardware the best. 

After seeing how purely fun and video-gamey Spider-Man and Miles morales were...yeah. Insomniac is just a great studio with great IPs that have really only flopped when their stuff went multiplatform or Xbox Exclusive. I didn't think sunset Overdrive was bad, but it did quite poorly and Fuse was terrible. 

Point is, Sucker Punch, Guerilla, Naughty Dog, Insomniac, and Bend have all been doing pretty damn well this last generation and before. we got new IPs in Spider-Man (Sorta a new IP), Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, and The Last of us since 2013, as well as Bloodborne and Dreams. I dunno, I just think it's great how well Sony has been doing this last generation and Insomniac is Emblematic of that success and drive. Can't wait to see what sort of new, fun, original ideas we have this generation. I wanna see a blend of new IP and returning old IP, and companies like Insomniac are exactly what we need to balance big budget open world action games and more toony, stylized, pure-fun games.
