Rachet & Clank (2016) is Insomniac's most successful game.

According to developer jstevenson who works for Insomniac:

jstevenson said:
The budget-priced movie-tie-in Ratchet & Clank game we made which got an 85 metacritic and is the most successful Ratchet/Insomniac game of all time.

Congrats to them, I really enjoyed playing it.

According to the below link
http://articles.latimes.com/2007/nov/26/business/fi-insomniac26/2
Insomniac bestselling game was Spyro The Dragon at 4.83 million units.

Nice, it's an awesome game. Hopefully they're making a new Ratchet game sooner rather than later!

Yoshichan · Jul 4, 2018

Congrats jstevenson !!!!!

LycanXIII · Jul 4, 2018

*Until September.

Congrats to the team, they deserve it.

Glio · Jul 4, 2018

It's not my favorite Ratchet and Clank but it's a good game, I'm happy for them

TailorDKS · Jul 4, 2018

Road Map for insomniac:

1. Spider-Man
2. New Resistance
3. New Ratchet & Clank
4. Maybe something new
--> start with 1. again

Illusion · Jul 4, 2018

Cool can we get the next entry in the series now. I'm fine with a Going Commando Remake or a sequel to Into The Nexus. Are we really going to have to wait until Spiderman is finished?

Lwyn · Jul 4, 2018

I'm pretty sure Spiderman is aiming for the head and not the body.

DrazilKaj · Jul 4, 2018

I'm going to guess this is partly because it was a packin with PS4s not long after it came out.

Squarealex · Jul 4, 2018

Good game but not the better, 2 and 3 are still great.

I'm going to guess no.

It was the fastest selling game in the franchise.

cw_sasuke · Jul 4, 2018

Quality was up there and they chose a very attractive price point from the start.

Derrick01 · Jul 4, 2018

Huh I would have never guessed it was that successful. So when's the next one coming out?

Toumari · Jul 4, 2018

I wonder if this is in terms of quantity of units sold or actual money made, as this was a cheaper title on release ($40/£30).

Riderz1337 · Jul 4, 2018

I absolutely loved this game. The art style/color palette was beautiful.

Bede-x · Jul 4, 2018

It never felt budget priced and deserved higher than 85%. Insomniac is so talented and I have no doubt Spider-Man is gonna be fantastic.

After Spider-Man, I would say.

Spider-Man -> Ratchet -> Spider-Man -> Ratchet is what I think they will do (and what I want).

Nirolak · Jul 4, 2018

And this was a game made in 10 months.

I'm curious to see how the next one does with an actual development cycle.

WillySJ3 · Jul 4, 2018

Most successful in revenues? Unit sales? We need more info.

Congrats to Insomniac anyway.

antitrop · Jul 4, 2018

It was the first Ratchet and Clank game I bought since Going Commando in 2003. It was also very fun.

NediarPT88 · Jul 4, 2018

Holy shit that's amazing.

I loved the game, easily one of the best I've played this gen. Up there with UYA and ACIT for me.

I would be surprised if it wasn't unit sales given I think their previous biggest game was only in the 3 million unit range, which is quite small by today's standards.

silva1991 · Jul 4, 2018

Loved every second of this game. Congrats Insomniac and stevenson!

Themaddestgamer · Jul 4, 2018

I loaded it up last night just to goof around and look at it in 4k.

Game is a stunner and could have been the movie.

Angie · Jul 4, 2018

That's awesome :D
And I hope this means more Ratchet games in the future.

SliChillax · Jul 4, 2018

I just bought it and it looks amazing on my Pro in HDR. A very fun and polished experience.

Why do people always have to rush to bundling as an explanation every time a game does well? Its such a lazy rhetoric.

It did well because it's a good game, in a popular series, sold at a cheap price on the best-selling console. It's not rocket science this.

patapon · Jul 4, 2018

Congrats to Insomniac. Can't wait for what's next for R&C :D

4.83 million according to the link.

mejin · Jul 4, 2018

Why can't Insomniac work in other playstation ip like Sly? I really think they could do it really well.

CozMick · Jul 4, 2018

For now! *cue Spidey laughing furiously*

Bruceleeroy · Jul 4, 2018

Not surprised. It was such an excellent game

Lord Brady · Jul 4, 2018

Other than Sunset Overdrive, it's probably my favorite game they've made. Can't wait to play Spider-Man.

Hero_of_the_Day · Jul 4, 2018

Was my first RC game. Loved it enough to platinum it.

Yurinka · Jul 4, 2018

I'm pretty sure Spiderman will be their best selling and best rated game.

Phendrift · Jul 4, 2018

For now...

Deleted member 9100 · Jul 4, 2018

Well deserved. Fantastic game.

It's such a shame Sunset Overdrive didn't get the sales it deserved. Probably my game of the generation.

Spider-Man is by far my most anticipated game this year. Can't wait!

Lucreto · Jul 4, 2018

I need more Ratchet.

I would take a future remaster as this stage.

Necron · Jul 4, 2018

I hope we'll get more Ratchet and Clank soon.

QisTopTier · Jul 4, 2018

Congrats to them, it was fun but I really wish it was a more fleshed out game felt very lacking even compared to the original outside of the jetpack area

Hate · Jul 4, 2018

It'll only last til september.

Sleve McDichael · Jul 4, 2018

That's cool. It was a great game. One of my favorites from that year.
Spidey will probably be their best reviewed and best selling game soon, though.

Jade1962 · Jul 4, 2018

One of the few games that I loved enough to beat this generation. Hope we get another before ps5.

Just let Sly die already

MrMatt555 · Jul 4, 2018

aside from the music being shit compared to the original, its the purest form of a remaster i've seen. It's like going back to revisit your childhood home and everything is in the same spot.

Transistor · Jul 4, 2018

Amazing game. Beat it so many times just because it's so fun to play

hydruxo · Jul 4, 2018

It was an amazing game. Played through it like 4 times. An absolute blast and it looks gorgeous too.

PlanetSmasher · Jul 4, 2018

Wow. That's really surprising. I didn't think it did as well as previous installments, but I guess I was wrong. It was a fun little game, even if I felt it could've been better in a lot of ways.

Congratulations to Insomniac, and here's hoping Spider-Man shatters that record when it comes out.

jayu26 · Jul 4, 2018

I have been saying this since the day it came out. If Sony and Insomniac haven't started working on next Ratchet game, someone somewhere has fucked up badly.

We need proper sequel in the waves of Crack in Time. Or at least do a remaster of PS3 games.

Kyoufu · Jul 4, 2018

Congrats. Spidey will take that crown soon.

Rachet & Clank (2016) is Insomniac's most successful game.
