Insomniac Games’ current involvement with other consoles means that we haven’t seen anything of the upcoming Ratchet & Clank remake that was announced for the PlayStation 4 at E3 2014 – but, writing on the developer’s official forum, community manager Tim Salvitti has shed a little extra light on the re-release.

Due out in 2015 alongside the series’ cinematic debut, the title will be a re-imagining of the original game, employing all new assets built to take advantage of Sony’s new super machine. Here’s where it gets confusing, though: the franchise’s aforementioned film will be a re-telling of Ratchet & Clank’s origin story, taking elements from the first PlayStation 2 release. Meanwhile, the next-gen remake will only include parts of the movie’s plot. Are you keeping up?

According to Salvitti, the upcoming game will also feature many more areas and characters than the flick, primarily because the interactive format lends itself better to a much longer running time. To be honest, we’ll be glad when Sunset Overdrive is out, so that the developer’s free to talk about this less cryptically. Fingers crossed for a full announcement at December’s forthcoming PlayStation Experience, huh?

The second paragraph took a while to understand. However, good thing that the movie and the remake will be both different from each other. I think it's kind of obvious that it'll be unveiled at Playstation Experience.

It's not a remake, but a reboot. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=135820633#post135820633

Yeap... a reboot is all I need.

What, they're still doing a movie? I don't think that will end well.

Jak and Daxter would be cooler, but... ok.

I need to see what this is. I'm still very confused. Is it the first game remade? Or a reboot of the series? If they chose to redo the first one with movie like graphics, what about Going Commando/ Up Your Arsenal.

Ratchet and Clank is so awesome, so I just want something new, but good.

Well duh. But I wonder how it feels to work for 2 rival comapnies at the same time.

Can't wait for this, with the tech inside of PS4 making something close to the movie should be possible, Knack got a good amount of the way there as it looked close to a CG show, maybe close to something like the Astro Boy movie in quality.

This will definitely be shown at the Playstation Experience IMHO!

I hope they add the ability to upgrade ur weapons, tbh without that R&C loses a lot of its replayability.
