IGN AU writes: "Those who played through Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction would know that at its conclusion, Clank was abducted by the Zoni – the cute little ghost robot things that only Clank can see. What we don't know, however, is where they're taking him and what they want with him. Nor do we know if his exhaust port is being subjected to probing as we speak. No matter, as Ratchet is setting out to find out. Yes, Quest for Booty picks up where Tools of Destruction left off, and as you probably know, it's been designed as an affordable, smaller instalment to the series, as opposed to a full game. Think three hours gameplay or so.
The title opens with more of what is possibly the best combination of words ever – robot space pirates. Ratchet and Talwyn are fighting their way across a series of pirate ships (catapulting between them – natch) on the Azorean sea. We're talking the usual harvesting of bolts from crates (time to crate can be measured in nanoseconds) and blasting of enemies, as well as mounting gun emplacements to fire at other ships that draw alongside, as well as to blast through sealed doors. It's business as usual at this point, but fortunately the duo get a tip from Rusty Pete, who reveals that a pirate captain by the name of Darkwater has the key to the Zoni dimension. Only problem is, Darkwater's (apparently) dead."
20th Anniversary Armor Pack arrives today for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart; more games coming to PlayStation Plus Premium November 15.
Man... what i wouldnt give to have a full PS5 UHD of all the R&C games in one collection. i guess streaming them on PS+ is the next best thing (or naturally a PS3)
They couldn’t make PS2 versions of those R&C games like they did with the J&D games?
Kobra
What fan that waited for launch day needs to know? There were 4 ps2 games the rest starting with tools was ps3 only. Quest for booty, a crack in time, nexus, full frontal assault were ps3 games.
You really saying Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal and Ratchet: Deadlocked weren’t on PS2? 🤨
Even Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank had PS2 versions...
Of course I wasn't talking about the actual ps2 games...why would they need to make ps2 versions of ps2 games? That is why I only included the ps3 games in my comment.
@ no
You must’ve misunderstood what I asked for.
I’m saying they should’ve made PS2 Classic versions of these Ratchet & Clank titles on PS4 so they’d be downloadable just like Jak & Daxter had rather than just streaming the PS3 versions
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is amazing. I really hope Insomniac are working on more. I'm always up for another Ratchet & Clank game.
From Xfire: "Insomniac Games first introduced the unlikely duo of Ratchet and Clank back in 2002 on the PlayStation 2. Since then, the series has taken audiences on a journey that has spanned not just an entire galaxy, but multiple dimensions, with its most recent outings."
Best games of the franchise are Up Your Arsenal, A Crack in Time, 2016 Remake and without a doubt the newest one Rift Apart. You simply can’t go wrong with these.
Man what a glorious game series.
Only ones I don't like as much are all 4 one and full frontal assault other than that all games are awesome( even these are good games just not up to the standard of other games in the series)
Nice article, good list, they're all fun & I love this game!
Rift Apart is spectacular.
Insomniac are wizards, I want their next game to be a new Resistance. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next.
Ryan Mccaffrey said last week that Resistance 4 was in development but Sony cancelled it due to the high number of post-apocalyptic games around at the moment.
Well that’s a shame. I feel they could do something truly special with today’s technology.
I'm looking forward to playing Rift Apart then the whole series sometime afterward. Up Your Arsenal is my favourite
Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty is typically regarded as one of the worst in the Ratchet & Clank series, and it’s clear why after playing it over the Holiday season. It is only set in one world with little story to be be had, the level design can be frustrating, and the lack of weapons (and anything new) make this short 3-hour entry worth skipping in the series.
the first thing this article does is ruin the ending of R&C:ToD farkin thanx d1kheads...i havnt gotten around to this game yet, there shoodv been a spoiler warning...fark!
