i miss that old ND with their animated comedy tone of their games (ala looney toones ) ...Uncharted in a way retained that humor and color in the games ...while LoUS turned to be completely dark and serious that imo was unfitting for the company ..

Yes i liked (like everyone else) LoUS1 and bit less LoUS2, though i didnt like the 180 degree turn ND made after Uncharted 3 generally speaking, Crash and Jak s adult type of comedy animation in combination with quality platforming in beautiful worlds is absent from todays Gaming

I'm sort of expecting the new Ratchet game to take a more "original trilogy/deadlocked" tone rather than a "2016 reboot" tone. I really hope so.

Then we'll pretty much have what you're asking for :p

LucasRuinedChildhood1143d ago (Edited 1143d ago )

None of what they've shown gives off the vibe of the original trilogy to me, tbh. It looks more like a return to the Future series - a spiritual sequel to A Crack In Time with a focus on dimension shifting instead of time travel. The pirates from A Quest For Booty briefly appeared in a dimension jump as well.

R&C 2016's biggest problem was that it inherited so much cutscenes and writing from the movie, tbh. The Future games had solid storytelling and a decent sense of humour so I think you'll still really enjoy Rift Apart. I know a lot of people want a full return to the OT's writing though.

@LucasRuinedChildhood

Eh I just mean the humour. That E10+ rating has my hopes up lol. As far as the reboot goes: I still platinumed it but it had a lot of awfulness lol. I could go on about it for hours about how they ruined the character arc and the friendship and made all the characters one-dimensional and the awful ending re-write but lets skip that lol. They shoulda made a new game+movie with a new story instead of butchering a major series' origin story imo

But yeah gameplay is totally Future which is a good thing I think. The Future series was amazing

They got rid of the guy that did the music for the reboot and All 4 One thank god. I just replayed through the hd collection of ps2 games and the soundtracks on them all is just so good. Hope that dude comes back

I'm happy no matter what though lol - so happy this series has survived as long as it has

EmperorDalek1143d ago

Still my favourite Naughty Dog game. It's a shame they released a PS2 port instead of the PS3 remaster on PS4.

Kabaneri1142d ago

Kinda wish another studio would reboot this series, it had a really cool universe.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo1d 9h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows901d 9h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19891d ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha1d 9h ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno1d 9h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan1d 9h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno1d 8h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19811d 9h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6691d ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life198119h ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Inverno1d 9h ago

Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.

Cacabunga2d ago

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

TheColbertinator1d 23h ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

Stopac1d 21h ago

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.
