[RenegadeRocks]

HELL YEAH ! !

Game Description:
Ratchet and Clank are back! The beloved duo return with an original single-player epilogue to the acclaimed Tools of Destruction and A Crack in Time. Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus is a story-driven platform adventure with humor and heart, featuring outrageously upgraded weapons, extreme planet hopping and brand new worlds begging to be explored. Into the Nexus marks a true return to form for the acclaimed series.

After one of the most infamous manhunts in galactic history results in the capture of Vendra Prog, Ratchet and Clank offer to escort the dangerous criminal to the Vartax Detention Center. After a daring orbital jailbreak at the forgotten edge of the galaxy, Ratchet and Clank find themselves lost in an abandoned sector. There, in deepest space, they uncover an inter-dimensional event that threatens the universe—and forces Ratchet to decide what’s really important.

Features:
• A return to the Future – Series protagonists, Ratchet and Clank, return along with Captain Qwark, Talwyn, Cronk and Zephyr in a brand-new, story-driven single-player adventure.
• Even more crazy weapons and gadgets for your arsenal – Arm yourself with a variety of exotic new weapons and gadgets, including the Winterizer and Nether Blades.
• Clank strikes back – All-new gameplay offers inter-dimensional challenges where Clank can alter gravity, manipulate objects and solve mind-bending platforming puzzles.
• Discover new worlds… and the dangers of space – Traverse through the zero-gravity of space and explore a mysterious sector filled with new planets to explore along with hidden dangers and dark secrets yet to be uncovered.

Iwas hoping more for a PS4 game, but anything will do when its a Ratchet Game ! Recently played Q4B and it a short super fun game. Hadn't finished my ACIT playhthrough when my 2nd ps3 died, my new copy of ACIT is arriving next week !

Insomniac has heard my wishes, We have a new R n C game ! Yippseee ! I want one on PS 4 too Insomniac, you rascals !

Here's a video preview by IGN: (Has a lot of exclusive footage)

Lots of info.

ile Into the Nexus is very humorous, as all Ratchet games are, Allgeier thought it would be “fun to take [the series] in a spookier direction” with its newest entry.

Apart from a ton of new gadgets and weapons -- and some new tricks and skills -- a lot of familiar staples of the series have returned. The franchise’s famous Skill Points are back, of course, as are hidden Gold Bolts. Regular bolts that are collected can be spent as currency to acquire new goods, and every weapon can be upgraded through experience earned by using that weapon in battle. Familiar characters will also return, including Captain Qwark, Cronk, Zephyr, and Talwyn. Even the Thugs-4-Less mercenaries from Going Commando will be back. This game is, after all, an epilogue to the Future branch of the Ratchet & Clank franchise.


Ratchet's fancy new gadget.

Oh, and as for the complete lack of innuendo in Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus’ name? One of Insomniac’s working titles for the game was Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nether Regions. But the developer eventually settled on Into the Nexus as its final title (it will be called just Ratchet & Clank: Nexus in Europe).

Bought.

Maybe it isn't shorter. For 30 bones I'd expect a pretty decent campaign size.
Looks pretty fucking sweet either way. Still a bit disappointed it's not the duo's elusive "Pixar quality" PS4 outing. Fingers crossed it'll be written by the ACiT guy. He knocked it out of the park with that game.

 

[Arwin]

Hope they get it right - it looks promising, but they've been diluting the franchise a lot with the last few outings, imho.

Its the same creative director !

As I posted above, they have said its bigger than Q4B and FFA, but then it still won't be as long as a $60 ACiT !

Brilliant! I thought GTA V would be my last PlayStation 3 purchase but it looks like this will

 

[tuna]

If it is as good as ACIT, bought! If it is crap like QForce/FFA, no buy.

And this type of game needs to be 60 fps.

 

[Gitaroo]

hope they aim for 60 fps again. But doubt it.......

 

[djskribbles]

Were the R&C games after ACiT 30fps? I've only played ToD and ACiT.

yup, all for one still got blurry graphics so I assume it was still the same res but with ssao irc. One after is sharp looks like the boost the resolution but no ao, frame rate is quite bad at time, vita version was a disaster. Curious to see this one.

 

[tuna]

All4One and QForce are both really blurry in motion....

 

[DieH@rd]

At what resolution were all R&C games rendered on PS3?

 

[Sigfried1977]

Something like 960 x 720 + Blur-O-Vision filter I believe (ToD, QfB and ACiT)

 

[Gitaroo]

thought it was the QAA + sub hd that cause the blur, same with Resistance 3. The last Rachet looks significantly sharper to me, but also jaggier.

 

[Sigfried1977]

Whatever it is, it does look really blurry and fuzzy. That said, for that kind of game it's a worthy trade-off. The Ratchet games just feel great.

 

[I.S.T.]

I wonder if that Lombax from the second game that Ratchet was kinda dating in the ending will show up...

 

[patsu]

About time !

 

[BoardBonobo]

Must finish ACiT. Never quite got around to the ending, I didn't find it quite as gripping as ToD and QfB for some reason.
