What a nonsensicial comparison. They're completely different genres for starters. Second of all, one is an AAA budget game while the other is a low budget experimental game meant to pad out the Wii U's library until the NX finally arrives.


Except of course that Ratchet and Clank is only $40 and Star Fox will likely be $60...

Because R & C games aren't selling well anymore (I wonder why...). It's one of the reasons why Insomniac decided to make games for other platforms. And what you said doesn't make the comparison any more valid.


Because there hasn't been a mainline Ratchet game since 2009. That should be fairly obvious. 

I was simply saying that the argument that they shouldn't be compared because Star Fox is some budget title while Ratchet and Clank is this huge game is nonsensical.

 

Also, it's weird that you claim to think the comparison is silly while also taking digs at R&C...just an observation.

Into the Nexus was a mainline game... I'm not taking digs at R & C, I'm just using facts (because I think R & C is more interesting anyway). Sales of the franchise have been dwindling for many years now. The PS demographic has outgrown this franchise.

How is the argument about budgets nonsensical? This game even has a movie to support it. The difference in budgets is huge. Price of the games doesn't change anything about that. It just shows that Sony isn't confident that games like these still sell well anymore at full price. As for Star Fox, the game looks like it has been cobbled together in a year. What's next? Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival vs Horizon? They both have animals in it.

Ratchet looks better at 30fps than SF0 looks at 60fps on two screens. Sad.

Your argument is contradictory.

Sony doesn't have faith in the game, but it should be held to a higher standard than Star Fox?

Also, what metric are you using to make that comparison? Are you saying we should expect R&C to sell better, even though you just said Sony doesn't have faith in it, or should we expect it to be a better game?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Based on trailers
Graphics it's not even a question is it
Gameplay R&C looks more varied,while Starfox seems something which would really do well as an arcade game.
Name obviously Starfox is still a bigger name in this industry, even though that's mostly because of smash.
Sales R&C it got three times the userase when it releases and it has it's own movie .



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

How is it contradictory? Just because a game is well polished and filled with quality doesn't mean it will sell. Ever heard of Okami, Ico or Shadow of the Colossus? Nintendo and Sony both have vastly different demographics. Obviously R & C will be the better game, Star Fox looks incredibly rushed with a small budget (because the Wii U has a very small userbase, so it isn't worth it to invest in AAA games).

As for this particular R & C game, it will likely sell better than the PS3 games thanks to the PS4 being a more succesful console and the movie tie-in for extra promotion. The PS2 games seem unreachable though.

Ratchet and Clank would still look better on 180fps due to the system it runs on is 3 or 4times as powerful in the first place

Why are we comapring the two? One is a platformer and the other is a rail shooter.

Starfox should not be priced at 60$.... when a game makes you go "meh", you dont price it at 60$.

To be fair, the game will most likely be cheaper in Europe. I've rarely paid more than €40 here for a Nintendo game. And most PS4 games here are €60-70.

I like R&C much better.
