Interview with Brian Allgeier: Ratchet's Future after R&C Future

Cat writes: In the midst of some serious Ratchet and Clank Future gameplay I managed to ask Brian Allgeier a few questions about Crack in Time and the future of the Ratchet series.

There's been a lot of talk that this is the best Ratchet game yet, and even a culmination for the Ratchet series.

Brian: For us we're definitely wrapping up a chapter of the Ratchet and Clank games. We started our story arc in tools of Destruction and now we're answering a lot of fan questions here. This is kind of, for us, more of a love letter to the franchise. It's a chance to really delve into the space exploration aspect of it, like with the spherical worlds, and then we're focusing more on Clank and his origins and Ratchet and his origins, too. It's been quite a journey. This is a great game to wrap a lot of things up and give the players a sense of closure.

I hope this clears up some of the big "future" questions for fellow Ratchet fans!

i avoided reading it in case of spoilers

Cat5357d ago

Totally spoiler-free - and I'm trying to keep the Preview spoiler-free, too.

whothedog5357d ago

Nice interview, can't wait for this game.

They aren't done, maybe a break but they are not done.

Cat5357d ago

@whothedog - that's exactly what I came away with - there will be more. It's completely reasonable that he's not going to start talking about their next game when Crack in Time hasn't released yet. I just needed that reassurance that they have more stories to tell in the universe.

meepmoopmeep5357d ago

good interview, i'll read your preview so long as it's no spoilers

The Great Melon5357d ago (Edited 5357d ago )

If they can crank out this many games, its obvious that they can keep continuing the series. Although I love the series, I think they should try for a new game now besides Ratchet & Clank and Resistance now. Hope they try another genre now and see what they can bring to it.

Seeing how this is getting no love. I'm buying this day 1 anyway. Nothing to really talk about. It looks great, plays great and has a fun story.

Ju5357d ago

I really hope this will sell. I think it should get more love from Sony PR, though. Its on top of my list with all the high profile titles. Insomniac took a risk bringing a "kids" game over to a more mature platform. Risk taking should be rewarded, I think. So I hope it'll sell.

On another note, this is Insomniacs top end engine now - and it shows. Add another year, and that'll go into their next Resistance game. Can't wait. Sony's 2010 fall block buster ? I hope so...

The Great Melon5357d ago

I hope they try to do something other than Ratchet and Resistance. I would love to see them make another kind of game. It's not like they have to give up either series when trying something new.

jerethdagryphon5356d ago

crack in time can sit along side tod and qfb on my shelf happiliy :) all guarded by my yatzee imp and my lbp official sackboy

MidNite5357d ago

So far Ratchet and clank is my favorite PS3 exclusive i hope this turns out great!

jack_burt0n5357d ago

ummmmm did not really clear it up for me but least they aint gonna sell the rights to universal thats all i care about.

The Great Melon5357d ago

Loved the first one way back on the PlayStation. They are much bigger now so I doubt they will ever sell the rights of any game they make anymore.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy757d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic757d ago (Edited 757d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils757d ago (Edited 757d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic757d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider1624758d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4

seanpitt23758d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc20758d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan758d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty1889758d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk
