D+Pad Magazine: Perhaps we're being overly harsh, because what we really want to say is that Quest for Booty is worth your time, despite its unacceptably short length. However, herein lies the fundamental problem – the game is such a bite-size portion, such a small snippet of what we've already seen before, that it becomes difficult to truly recommend.
Brian Allgeier, the game's creative director, states that Quest for Booty is an excellent entry point for players who are unfamiliar with the Ratchet & Clank universe. To be quite honest, Tools of Destruction does that just fine, leaving Quest for Booty in a halfway house that neither us as gamers nor Insomniac as developers have ever taken residence in before. If truth be told, it's a halfway house we'd rather spend as little time as possible in.
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.
I gauge R&C QFB like this
4 hours of an incredible, non stop, platforming experience with the best animation graphics seen on any console. All for 15 bucks.
or
Gears of War, 5 hours of gameplay on hard for 60 bucks.
or
Uncharted on Crushing 7 hours and 33 min of gameplay for 60 bucks.
or
Heavenly Sword 5 hours for 60 bucks.
I can go on but there is no point. R&C is well worth anyone's time and money. They are the best games of their genre and there isn't a game released that can match it's graphic quality when considering the source material. This is as close as anyone has ever come to Pixar CG quality in game. Can't say the same for a lot of those 60 dollar 5 hour games, though.
deserves a buble becouse he has changed a lot !
ps. wasnt siliogon a bot before ? :P
