Phantom Roxas Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 [center][IMG]http://media.pgrevolution.com/images/general/ratchet_clank_logo.jpg[/IMG][/center] I am sure many of you have heard of this PlayStation series. Created by the makers of Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank quickly became one of the premiere platforming games for the PlayStation 2, and eventually Insomniac's flagship series. This club is dedicated to celebrating the franchise and its creator, as well as to serve as a place to organize co-op play in the most recent installment, All 4 One.

I found the game interesting, so I decided to get the game. I beat it over the course of a week, and immediately got Going Commando. I have all games in the series, although I am said to admit that it usually took me a while to get a game almost every time one came out, although I have finally caught up by picking up All 4 One on its release date.

Phantom Roxas Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 No, you don't need All 4 One, although it was the main reason I made this club. Anyway, you're both accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[IMG]http://en.ratchet-galaxy.com/images/rac1/personnages/Plombier.png[/IMG] [/spoiler] How you got into the series: I honestly can't remember. I played it when I was a lot younger, and I can't remember anything from back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 The Plumber is absolutely hilarious. Definitely one of my favorite recurring joke characters in anything. Fun fact: Clank is voiced by [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kaye]David Kaye[/url], who voiced the Beast series Megatron as well as in Armada, Energon, and Cybertron.

Phantom Roxas Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Since the Jak and Daxter Collection came out a week ago, is anyone expecting a Ratchet & Clank Collection later this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm not sure. It's very possible though. If there is going to be a Ratchet & Clank Collection, I'm pretty sure it's going to only include the latest few games. I doubt they'll add the original, Commando etc. in this collection unless they've upped the graphics and stuff on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 It actually would be from the PS2 games, since that's why these HD collections have been doing: Taking old PS2 classics and improving the graphics, then collecting them for a PS3 game. Since the collections have had at most three games in them, the Ratchet & Clank Collection would go up to the Up Your Arsenal, which is my favorite of the PS2 games anyway. Unfortunately, I'm uncertain if they would include Deadlocked, but they might be able to if they have enough room. If not, they we can always hope for a second collection with Deadlock, Size Matters, and Secret Agent Clank. I have been thinking about what they'll do with the newer games due to my obsession with definitive collections. If they're going to collect the newer games, they would do Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty, and A Crack in Time. Whether or not we get more Ratchet & Clank games for the PS3 is hard to tell, but Insomniac only did four games last generation. Perhaps we'll see one more game before the PS4 is released, but that will be it. We know some other developer (I'm expecting Nihilistic) would handle the collection, but from what I've read on the PlayStation Blog prior to the Jak and Daxter Collection's release, Naughty Dog still worked with Mass Media on it, so Insomniac might be somewhat busy with the collection, and they also have the upcoming awesomeness that is Overstrike to work on. It's the tenth anniversary of the series, so I think this is as good an opportunity as any, and a member of Insomniac has shown interest in it. Apparently it's Sony's call, though, but considering how Insomniac has been one of their biggest third-party developers, it would seem like a good idea to give their series a collection this year.

[/quote] Personally, I'm still sticking with my lesser quality PS2 version if they release the original 3 on PS3. After All 4 One, I doubt we'll see another PS3 installment. But that makes me wonder what Insomniac might give us for the PS4. If they do make a R&C for the PS4, I wonder how much it could improve from some of the latter games.

Phantom Roxas Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 All of my PS2 R&C games have a horrible lag when I play them on my PS3, which is especially odd considering that it's the only games I have found this problem with, and I've seen someone else comment on having the same problem, so if I want to fully enjoy the games again, I actually need to get the collection. Insomniac would likely be one of the first developers that Sony gives development kits for the PS4 to. As long as it's a return to the classic formula, I'm okay with that. Maybe make it more like Up Your Arsenal or A Crack in Time instead of waiting for the third game on the system to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 [url=http://bit.ly/zV4SIg]COLLECTION CONFIRMED.[/url] It doesn't have Deadlocked, but at least it goes up to Up Your Arsenal, and with online multiplayer to boot. Looking forward to more of the tenth anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I traded in the first three games last week. Is anyone else psyched for the collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Just finished All 4 One. Not the best Ratchet & Clank game, but I enjoyed it all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
