Ratchet & Clank Hype Thread (PS4) - 8/10 on GS 86 on metacritic

On RC is an exclusive too, so that like a bonus and TF is from 3 years ago- points for that and being a multi plat

so RC>TF

Why dont you bring up QB???

lolz

I think I am still in shock at the flop of R&F, that I haven't recovered for a reply to that yet. Probably too busy playing QB too.

Ain't that the truth. The hits just keep coming. Soon lems will be unrecognisable.

So QB is a FLOP too? You said it wasn't even at a 6/10 and RC met its HYPE, so it really isn't.

RC wasn't HYPED a 9 either or show me poll and numbers...lol

So say QB is a FLOP then??? Say it then by golly "it isn't that hard"

Something else is going on here if you cant...

lolz

Going by what the cows say, QB is indeed a flop. How could it not be? They say 86 is a flop, so no doubt 77 is a flop of the most floppage.

Well who would of thought RC>QB by 2 whole points for GS scoeres? I didn't.

No doubt. And who would have thought that RC would have flopped like it did? I didn't see that coming either!

bu bu bu RC didn't FLOP!!11111

Flagged for blatantly lying in the obvious jolly good score RC has gotten, both here and MC.

Long live Insomniac and of course as always,

Thank you SONY, current gen 8 console leader.

Nice scores. Another great PS4 exclusive.

A few things

A: If the reviewer values context and plot, which does play a role in modern video games, why shouldn't he or she criticize that portion of the game? Especially if it's prominent? I understand not criticizing Mario for its story, but yeah in the case of something like Metal Gear, absolutely the shittyness of the story in those games should be held against them to whatever point the reviewer deems acceptable.

B: Reviews don't start at 10, and get knocked as they go, so bad story isn't the only thing, most importantly sometimes it's not about the complaints either. It's about how good exactly are the positives. If the mechanics or gameplay loop is only good, not great, why would you call it great? Or in this case superb? The number is not like a grade on a test, it is a representation of a word, in the case of gamespot 7 = good, 8 = great, 9 = superb, whatever. It's a product of they reread their review, and go with the score that they feel appropriately fits what they wrote. Van Ord has said that, I remember Lars Anderson (he did the first Bayonetta review, so I might have his first name wrong), it's even something Jeff Gerstmann was aiming for when they dropped their incremental review scale thing, because he felt it was stupid.

More to it it's not always about what the game did wrong, too often people look at the 8 or 7 as "what it do wrong to warrant X" and not enough on if the game did anything exceptional enough (as in positive) to warrant higher. The other games you deem not worthy of high scores getting their scores, is a false equivalence given that those games aren't similar and neither are reviewers.

Ergo, the criticism presented stems from a level of ignorance worthy of dolt.

They just keep coming over and over and over.

Thank gosh for Game Fly!!!!

Thank gosh for PSN Store. BOOM!

Sure if you want to go DD, by all means go for it. I need substantial savings over retail and there is none at this time for the new game.

I have a $20 rewards certificate at BestBuy, I'm getting physical copy for $20

But yes please buy it, we need to support Insomniac. I even bought Sunset Overdrive and it was my GOTY of 2014. .

I dont think people understand what flop means. If a hyped game on GS doesnt meet the Hype= Flop. If it meets the hype=/= flop. Ratchet and clank met the Hype, which was mostly AA(8)

Quantum Break hype was AA as well, yet it underperformed in GS review. That's the reason people call Quantum Break a flop. An 8/10 Game isnt a flop, or it depends on the context(e.g The last of Us was also technically a flop, cause it was hyped AAA, yet it only got an AA. Best example I could come up with)

I pay full price for games I would say, 90% of the time. I get them on sale on XBL/PSN the rest of the time. Then of course there are the free games we get with PSN+ and XBL Gold, but I rarely play those. I either already own them, or they don't interest me. The last free game that I really played was on PSN+, Rocket League.

I know not everyone can or wants to pay the premium for day one digital. I can respect that too. As long as you get to play, that is great.

8 isnt a flop though... The day an 8 is a flop is the day almost all of a consoles library is considered a flop

So glad this is getting great reviews. I LOVE ratchet and clank. I have it preordered on psn. Only problem is im still playing quantum break which is great and dark souls 3 is preloaded on my PC. What to play once I finish QB??? I guess Ill have to mix it up. Great job insomniac.

Only two people in this thread predicted a score above 8. You apparently ignored the overwhelming majority of the predicted scores for this game. Pretty sure R&C PS4 is only a flop to you and maybe two other people on the forum.

oh golly! So it isnt a FLOP as per GS scores? AA on LOCK only to AA?????

Sony wins again.

Not to mention RC>QB

Another fantastic game by SONY.

Simply outstanding. How can the competition even compete?

I hope Horizon and TLG come out this year. They are going to flop big time if they do. lol

Oh we know the bitter troll screaming flop knows that he is an alt account,he is probably expressing his frustration how he best can by making sh** up..hahahha

Horizon is not going to flop.

From the same devs that made Flopzone. The PS4 is under powered to run this game at 1080p.

^ ^ This is your typical lem, hoping for games to flop because they aren't real gamers.

I know misery loves company but this is just ridiculous. Even though I'm not a fan of the Xbone I've never hoped for any Xbox exclusive to flop, this is just pathetic, and shows you how sad lems are.

Let see Here. Killzone 2 score 9 here and Killzone 3 score 8.5 and Shadow Fall had a 7. Not much of a flop over all. Unless you want to count their very first game that score a a 6.9 which still score higher than Quantum Flop lol

Well when MCC, Halo 5, and QB all FLOP, your only hope is to wish ill will to your fellow gamers to mask your disappointment in your favorite platform.

Sad.

What else can you do when you have no games of your own to hype?

If one game flops, dozens more will be there to take its place, the onslaught of games begins, hail Sony!

What about the gem Knack,made by your precious Mark Cerny?

Even received a note of 40/100 from the most unbiaised place, Playstation Official Magazine UK

Rekt

Very said indeed.

If only MS hadn't squandered their studios and franchises, lems wouldn't be in such a desperate state.

Yeah like you Cows don't do the same. I tried to be a gamer but after these last two weeks I can not do it anymore. I hope all the big games except Uncharted4 flops.

Knack was directed by other people. I'm sure Cerny had some input, but it wasn't 'his game'.

You were never a gamer, you're a company shill, now get back to ironing Phil Spencer's underwear.

Cerny was the game director

The words of a defeated lem are powerless against us.

I'm shocked you think that, after all I own all 3 of those FLOPS for X1, even Halo 5 which was the last official FLOP since meta game is dead. There is no more FLOPS in all actuality according to SW's, they are gone. So take some resassuercance and let the healing begin that QB did not FLOP.

We are only left to personal disappointment in a game like QB-6/10 and joyous celebration of great execution like Ratchet and Clank 8/10. Not to mention QB being a multi plat and RC being a true NEW exclusive.

I am unbiased and dont wish i'll to any platforms.

You think cows are bad?

You lemmings are the WORST fanboys ever. All last gen, you talk about how PS3 has no games, that exclusives don't matter as long as you have 1 big one, how Microsoft is making a killing ripping you off through Xbox LIVE Gold (Seriously, who the hell brags about being ripped-off?).

This gen, it's not even the same ball game. SONY is selling a shitton of consoles while the Xbone looks like it won't even sell 40m LTD. SONY is making a killing on PS+ while Microsoft's own greed bit them in the ass and now they're begging SONY to let Xboners plays with PlayStation gamers because no one has Xbox LIVE GOLD anymore.

All of your exclusives are mediocre at best with poor sales. Last gen, you lems mocked SONY for having no high-selling franchise. This gen, SONY now has multiple franchises that are now bigger than the biggest Xbox franchise. Uncharted, TLOU, God Of War, Gran Turismo, any future Naughty Dog IP are all bigger than Halo now.

How does Karma taste? You're right that cows are rubbing you lemmings hard this gen, and you lemmings deserved it, and you know it.

Great score. Hope those were looking forward to this have fun playing it.

Game director. Pretty much his game.

http://ca.ign.com/articles/2014/07/11/ps4-lead-architect-mark-cerny-on-his-next-project-and-knack-2

Despite working closely with the likes of Naughty Dog and Insomniac back in the day on Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Ratcher & Clank, Cerny's most recent project was PS4 launch title Knack.

Cerny was mainly the 'face' of Knack. It was a shameless PR stunt on SONY's end. I doubt Cerny had much of a role in the game's development.

Cerny's primary job was designing the incredible PS4 SoC.

But none of those actually released this gen

Cerny was obviously too occupied with designing the PS4 during the game's development. It takes some serious brain power to out think Microsoft's entire R&D team. He must have worked on Knack in his sleep.

Cows and lems are just the same. Majority of them want to see the other factions' games flop.

Sad.

What!! You are not allowed to pick what interests you in life, you should know this at your age.

lmao nailed it !

Woah looks like Ratchet & Clank still kicking. Defiantly picking this up soon.

He is credited as both the director and the writer

Nailed it...

Yes, because Cerny's name is widely-known in the gaming industry because he is a super genius.

I'm sure he's the director and writer in name, but he probably had minimal input in the development of the game. SONY was just trying to market the game by using Cerny's name, nothing more.
