I can't believe no one's hyped for the potential of the new Ratchet & Clank game. |
You mean the remake/reboot of a game in a series that has had 11 titles since it's creation, pretty much 1 title a year? It is suprising that people are excited for anything else that may be announced.....
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but rachet and clank needs a breather.

Even if you count the smaller games it isn't like you say that there's been a game every year, we've had Tools of Destruction in October '07, then a smaller game in Quest for Booty in August '08, A Crack in Time in October 09, then there was over 4 years waiting until Into the Nexus, which came out November 2013. There was a 4 year & a month wait for a game that was under half the length of a full Ratchet & Clank game. This new game is a full new game, as I said we haven't had a full, new R&C game since 2009, that last full R&C game was A Crack in Time, that's nearly 6 years by the time the remake comes out.
As far as full sized games, over 10 hours there have only been 4 new releases so far (5 including the next game). You can't count a remastered box set of PS2 games released on PS3. The rest of the games listed on How Long To Beat are all smaller titles. This is hardly what you'd call a milked series, considering it's 5 full games across 3 consoles, compared to Halo, GT, Mario, Zelda it's very unmilked. So what if a series is milked anyway, if it's loved by an audience large enough to support it and Sony has so many new IPs coming out or released already on PS4 that having a few staples that have regular releases isn't a problem, I mean we have 1)The Order, 2)Bloodborne, 3)WiLD, 4)Rime, 5)Drivelcub, 6)Knack, 7)Resogun, 8)Without Memory, 9)The Tomorrow Children.
There are new IPs yet to be announced like games from 10)Guerrilla Games (Horizon), 11)Media Molecule, 12)Bend, 13)Quantic Dream, 14)Sony London.
There's also the potential for games that were announced ages ago like 15)Agent, 16)TLG, so that could potentially mean 14 known new IPs that may come to PS4, with the possibility of 16 or more coming to PS4 over the next few years, that's a lot of variety, on top of expanding older titles into new games to take advantage of PS4.
IMO game series only need a breather if the platform holder isn't creating enough new IPs for the system or the franchise isn't offering anything new in the way of either the story, gameplay, visual, atmosphere or a combination of all of those aspects, Sony are offering a slew of new IPs for PS4, from 1st, 2nd and 3rd party developers and until we find details out about this new R&C game we can't know the full extent of things the new game offers.
