Choze Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/47274.html HD teaser. I hope there is more platforming. I think the shooting parts are abit stale. There are enough shooters on PS3 now :p
dwarf Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Yeah this is what I had to say about it: I should be excited for that but I'm not. After the first game, Tools of Destruction didn't compare well in my view, and whilst it was a good game there was too large a focus on combat and not enough on platforming. The wit and humour was also few and far between.I don't know... It all just felt a bit samey. There needs to be a greater focus on gadgets and puzzles - The game has great jump mechanics which are criminally underused, I remember the first being much more fleshed out and varied because it used everything in good measure... Sorry to be negative, it is a great franchise I just don't know if this will offer anything worthy of my money. If all fails though, at least they gave it a funny name. Too much shooting as you said - there are usually too many weapons in the game yet there isn't one which feels like the most powerful - they should make it so they have different uses.
Choze Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 It was my first Ratchet game so i enjoyed it. Though platforming wise i wanted more.
LegoMan1031 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 As i said in the playstation thread i had never played a ratchet game before ToD and QfB and i loved them both! More of the same for me please! Although if i had to critise it, more platforming would be very welcome...
dwarf Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I actually think it would benefit if it took a more stealthy/platform approach - if there were say 6/7 weapons instead of 20+ that are upgradable it would improve tenfold for me. Thing is these mindless fans think it's all about the weapons...
LegoMan1031 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I know what u mean about the weapons though, there was a lot of them and there was some i never even touched! lol.
dwarf Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Yeah I found it annoying because there were too many things to manage all the time - I mean 3 real-time Inventory screens didn't fit everything on! Pffft.
Daft Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 The weapons were awesome. I used all of them in the end so I could get them all maxed out. Made me have to change how I played, which is rare in games. I want the to introduce combos in regards to the weapons so there was a bit more point to it though. Basically I want more and bigger.
dwarf Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 ^ See I did that but found it annoying - the weapons didn't feel like they became more powerful because the enemies took so much more before they went down. It wasn't like the shooting parts were hard because they give you tons of health and its kind of like metroid where you strafe and mash the shoot button. But it worked better in metroid.
Daft Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) Yeah, a couple of the weapons were a bit dumb, like the tornado one. I just want them to put some kind of point/combo system so there would be motivation to do more than just bouncing off the walls holding the shoot button. I did enjoy doing it anyway, though. Also, like you said, it was a bit annoying how the enemies just upped their health to compensate. I can understand that to a degree but chucking more enemies as well would be nice. Or something.

dwarf Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 It's kind of hard to show that a weapon becomes more powerful without making it become easy - I'll go back to Metroid again though :p because in the first prime you unlock better beams as you go through but each one retains some uses eg for certain enemies/situations. The last beam (plasma) is really poweful and is fun to use above the others - and the missile combos make it more interesting. I'd have loved to see a Prime game come to HD consoles.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Here's the first gameplay footage, its at the start of chapter 3 of the GT show and looks great. http://www.gametrailers.com/gametrailerstv_player.php?ep=61&ch=3&sd=1 With this and Uncharted 2 coming out at the end of the year im a very happy chappy.
dwarf Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Yeah it looked decent, hover boots interesting but still focuses on weapons unsurprisingly. Uncharted 2 will be game of the year.
Choze Posted May 29, 2009 Author Posted May 29, 2009 Looks good. The boots are encouraging. Very blasty as that what Ratchet is.
dwarf Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 I'm not a fan of so many weapons yet I find it hard to not like that creature weapon. Hilarious!
Daft Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Awesome. Cannot wait! I hope it ups the replay value a bit.
Ryan Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Both R&C's have been amazing on PS3, I look forward to this one.
dwarf Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Did you play the first R&C Ryan? Cause it was much better.
Ryan Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 PS2 one? I had a demo of it and liked it, but never bought it.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 I'm not a fan of so many weapons yet I find it hard to not like that creature weapon. Hilarious! Awesome I love the series to bits and I have my nephew to thank for it. He brought the 1st game over to my house when it was first released and I sat and watched him play it and ever since then I have been hooked, it has become my favourite platforming series after Mario. The only ones I have missed are the Quest for Booty expansion on the PSN and Clank on the PSP.
LegoMan1031 Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Quest for Booty is definatly worth a play (although if i remember right ur minus a PS3 atm). It's short but a nice good play to continue on after the amazing tools of destruction! Tools of destruction was the first ratchet game i had ever played!!
Deathjam Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 The first on the ps2 is best because it had the chicken gun. Yes, a gun that turns your enemies into chickens. Had an awesome commercial to go with this gimmick too. If I could be bothered, would hunt the internet for it. Maybe later
dwarf Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) I remember that advert, awesome! Just like the game. Edited June 1, 2009 by dwarf
