Ratchet & Clank on PS4: Where Past and Future Meet



We knew early on that we didn’t want to just up-res Ratchet & Clank for PS2. We started out thinking of Ratchet & Clank on PS4 as a “re-imagining” of the 2002 original, revised to tie in with the deeper version of Ratchet’s origin story (as seen in the film). We envisioned a curated Ratchet & Clank experience that borrowed from the spirit of the classic PS2 games while infusing some of the best elements from the Ratchet & Clank Future games.

We ended up with a new game, with elements based on the original — but now with modern controls, several new planets, new and updated gameplay segments, all-new Clank gameplay, all new boss fights, new flight sequences, and more… all constructed to take advantage of the graphical prowess of PS4. Throw in James Arnold Taylor as Ratchet, and you have a new beginning.

The fresh start means we changed up the arsenal quite a bit as well. As always with Ratchet & Clank games, you battle your enemies with an out-of-this-world arsenal. In the PS4 version of Ratchet & Clank, the majority of the arsenal is made up of weapons that weren’t in the original game. That means both new weapons and fan-favorite tools of destruction from the Ratchet & Clank Future series will fill out Ratchet’s kit. From the brand new Pixelizer (which transforms enemies into explosive 8-bit pixels) to franchise favorites like the dance-party-inducing Groovitron and wise-cracking robotic bodyguard Mr. Zurkon, Ratchet & Clank’s arsenal has never been better.

Hellblade: New Gameplay Trailer Follows a Struggling Warrior



Hellblade launches next year on PS4 and tells the story of Celtic Warrior Senua and her journey into Hell. The Hell in question is no ordinary Hell, but is in fact a Hell that is the manifestation of Senua’s mental illness. Senua experiences psychosis, including hallucinations and delusions, as well as suffering from anxiety and depression. As a player you will witness Senua’s living nightmare through her own eyes.

Developing Hellblade independently gives us the freedom to tackle a subject as challenging as mental health. It is a subject that we are handling with all the respect it deserves, ensuring that our portrayal of Senua’s condition is both accurate and sensitive.

To help us with this we are working closely with Professor Paul Fletcher, a professor of Health Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, as well as arranging to consult directly with people who have experience of mental health difficulties. We are also very proud to say that Hellblade is being supported by Wellcome Trust, which is a global charitable foundation which aims to build a greater public understanding of science and in particular health.


Hellblade is being developed by a small team of 15 people under a new development model that we are calling Independent AAA. The idea behind this is that we can create a game independently, with creative freedom, but still deliver AAA quality production values. As part of this we’re creating the game openly, sharing as much of the development process as possible. You can follow Hellblade’s journey at Hellblade.com and via the Ninja Theory social channels.

Thought this was just going to be a dark version of Heavenly Sword but it's def more than that. I hope it succeeds and we see more AAA indie games.

It's a reimagining. They already remastered it, so they reclassified it.

Uncharted 4 beta code is what I'd like from e3 pe.
 
 
Ratchet and Clank IP is owned by Sony.
Ohhh didn't know, well then it makes complete sense lol. You can have your IP @CenTex HOGG
 U know I like to double dip. I'm already locked in with Batman on PS4 also, so you know we gonna have party chat rocking talking foolishness with my people later this month.
I got The Witcher, just waiting to get back home to play it. I'm gonna play as much as possible before Batman drops.

For the record, I've never played R&C :lol: this new one looks damn good tho.

Ratchet & Clank is my favourite series on PS2 and PS3. All the mainline games are incredible. The gameplay for the reboot has got me all nostalgic. I wish it didn't get delayed into next year.

All I need now is for Sony to bring back Ape Escape.
 
What's the best way to transfer data from an existing hard drive to a brand new one? My PS4 has 16 gigs of space left, about that time :smh:

You can back them up, but I'd recommend not doing that.

If you have disc games, don't back up. Just back up the bare essentials(game saves/capture data, etc), then re-install everything else. Takes about 10min.

If you have digital games, back up. This will take 6-8 hours. 3-4 hours to back up, 3-4 hours to restore.

Games are great...My favorite 3d platformer ever.  Gotta bring back the battle arena too.
 
Anybody in here actually like ESO? My brother is trading it in asap. Man said the graphics were like top notch PS2, early PS3 graphics :lol:
