Yeah this trailer hits hard. Looks amazing for various reasons.
The weapons here look notably more satisfying than some recent variants, like all the bombs after PS2 era are a bit lackluster to me. This one looks like it has a nice weighty "tangible" feel to it, and wait it's a BOMB LAUNCHER? A weapon variant making it's return from ps2?? Now that's exciting shit. Also seemed to have some neat effect (weapon mod) going on when it hit the enemy. Usually bomb launchers are stand ins for the "bomb glove" archetype, but iirc the first trailer had a bomb glove of some sort as well? Too lazy to look back at the video to confirm.
Never knew I wanted a minigun type weapon in Ratchet & Clank but it looks amazing. And really, the heavy angle there just works well in giving weapon effects weight & etc, something I feel like I miss a little bit with some post PS2 r&c games. Definitely a great contrast from some other blaster type weapons of late. Even the more vanilla burst pistol weapon from the previous trailer looks like a step up from the combustor. (Though the PS4 combuster was probably my favorite blaster of the post PS2 era behind ITN's dual blasters.)
Hoverboots returning are hype. Even though I think they feel best in CiT and this reminds me more of post-CiT versions of the hoverboots, still a very welcome addition. Heck even the grindrails look improved here, even if it's just for the fact that they removed the cheap looking vignette effect that the PS4 game had when you used them. It also seemed faster/more exciting here, not to mention paired up with that setpiece. Got ToD trailer vibes.
Seeing Rivet gameplay was cool, and nice to her core gameplay looks like Ratchet's (as I expected). Pretty excited to play as her for how much ever we do knowing her playstyle can't be too different at least in terms of her core mechanics.
The vehichle and flying setpieces looked exciting. The environments are S tier. Something seems so weird about seeing a more realized looking "town" in Ratchet & Clank, but weird in a good way. Not sure how realized it will actually be but still a neat little environment there.
Not too stoked about Nefarious seemingly being the central villain again but I'm pretty whatever about it. Pretty much already had that expectation adjusted from the first trailer.
Clank's VA still sounds bad, not sure what's been up with that lately. (IIRC he wasn't up to par in the PS4 game and sounds even worse here.) That's the only thing I'm negative about atm really. Overall this looks incredible. Top men and women over there at Insomniac I'll tell ya h'what.
Edit: Oh and the loading and rift mechanics also impressed me more in this trailer somehow. Looked more polished/smooth. And the NEW AGE INSOMNIAC PARKOUR. I didn't miss that wall run! Sick stuff.
