PalGN writes: "Last year's Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction came just at the right time for the PS3, as the system was really looking to show off some of its exclusives. Despite a cliff-hanger ending, we thoroughly enjoyed the game. In a rather interesting move, developers Insomniac Games have thrown the fans a bone in the form of a downloadable 'episode'. Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty is only available over the PlayStation Network and clocks in at just over three gigabytes. However, it comes at the drastically reduced price tag of $AU23.95.
The reason for the downloadable medium and the price is that this is not quite a full game. Quest for Booty picks up pretty much exactly where Tools of Destruction left players. That is, Ratchet is searching for the whereabouts of a kidnapped Clank. The story briefly has you re-encountering the robot pirate crew headed by Captain Slag and Rusty Pete. Petey happens to be the narrator this time around as well. While somewhat brief and lacking personalities such as Quark and Clank himself, the story is full of the accustomed humour and is thoroughly entertaining for as long as it lasts."
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 reviews for this game are just way off. they don't rate it on a scale of 15 bucks and quality. They just don't. They are gauging this game as a full on 60 dollar retail game and it's wrong to do so; but only slightly, cos this game has more polish at 15 bucks than 90% of the games on the market.
I can see where Insomniac is heading with the franchise and I hope when they get there they blast it wide open for all these idiots who don't understand this game.
