Scenario: If Ratchet & Clank Future Collection PS5 port for 2024 meant delaying Wolverine 6-8 months - would you want this?

[Joule]

Simple question.

Rift Apart is a continuation of the story and the PS3 games feel like the forgotten ones especially when compared to the PS2 games. I think it'd be great to play these games natively on something that isn't PS3, especially since they plan on continuing this franchise. I'm not talking about a R&C 2016 type of upgrade, more a relatively simple port to PS5 with higher resolution/framerate (ideally 4K/120) and maybe increased AF to x16 with a $40 price tag.


Maybe they only need a small team to accomplish this or maybe because it's porting from PS3 (CELL) it's much more complicated than we think. Regardless, it would mean delaying Wolverine 6-8 months since this would be done in house by Insomniac themselves.

So that would mean:

Ratchet - 2024
Wolverine - 2025

Would want that?

 

[sazz]

no

Ratchet is one of my favourite series but I own all the games on my PS3 so if I ever care to replay them I can just do that, new games are more valuable so give me Wolverine asap

 

[Rosebud]

Of course, when all said and done we would have 2 things to enjoy instead of just one lol

Plus I have like... 5.000 games to play while waiting for Wolverine

 

[antispin]

In love R&C, but Wolverine comes first.

 

[Lotus]

I do not care about Ratchet & Clank as much as I wish I did, so no

 

[MWorldII]

no

 

[Kaswa101]

Absolutely lol. Wolverine can wait

 

[Chasing]

Even as a life long R&C fan that's a no.

 

[Dis]

Yes happily. Loved tools of destruction, love a crack in time and enjoy quest for booty so it's a no brainer considering the only way I can play them on modern consoles is via streaming and ps+.

 

[LV-0504]

I'm 100% fine with collections/remakes/remasters but not at the cost of an ongoing new game. Do it after Wolverine ships before starting a new project.

 

[Cronogear]

No.

The only really good one there is A Crack in Time, and even then it's not good enough to justify a remaster delaying a brand new game.

 

[Kazer]

Sure, I have no interest in Wolverine.

 

[skillzilla81]

I don't care about and have never played ratchet and clank.

I'll take the new game I'm interested in, thanks.

Have you played ACIT? Because I love that one, but the rest of the series does next to nothing for me.

 

[Ahti]

Absolutely lol. Wolverine can wait

.

We're talking about 6-8 months...not 6-8 years.

 

[DominicanGlory]

Nah gimme that Canadian Shawty

 

[Volken]

Delay a new game for ports?

Absolutely not.

 

[wossname]

Zero interest in Wolverine so yes please. Crazy to think the PS3 got six Ratchet games.

 

[Snarfington]

Yes absolutely, 6-8 months is nothing in the grand scheme. Hell, it's probably getting delayed 6-8 months anyway. and RnC is a brand that needs more frequent love given to it.
Literally "would you push back a game 6-8 months to ensure an audience gets something it would be excited for that would otherwise never happen" should always be a yes. Hell, push back Zelda for a new Duke Nukem, if it makes someone happy.

 

[jonasvutt]

I want both things, so yes.

 

[MarcelloF]

I'd prefer the PS2 games, but yeah, sure.

 

[Khaidu]

I would say yes, but that's not a 6-8 month project.

 

[Lotus]

Have you played ACIT? Because I love that one, but the rest of the series does next to nothing for me.

Click to shrink...

Not on PS3. I think I tried to stream it actually back when PS Now was still a thing, but it didn't turn out so well lol

 

[bitcloudrzr]

Rather just have a sequel to Rift Apart, and let another studio tackle remasters. Wolverine should not be delayed even though I would rather have more Ratchet, and hold no interest for the Marvel games.

Still the best game in the series.

 

[Type VII]

New games > ports/remasters.

 

[jayu26]

Easiest yes for me, hell delay it further and put Resistance 3 remaster on PS5 as well.

 

[mikhailt]

PC, yes. PS5, no.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I would take the delay.

A Crack In Time is a top 5 game.

It's criminal that it's trapped on a 17 year old console.

 

[pswii60]

I used to be the biggest Ratchet fan but between the disappointment of 2016 and Rift Apart I think I'm over the series for now. It hit its height with ToD and ACiT and has been pretty by the numbers since then. And I've played those two quite a few times that I don't feel like revisiting even with a remaster. Rather have something new, getting tired of remakes. Bring on Wolverine.

 

[PhillyPaw]

Nope

 

[KingK]

Absolutely. He'll, I'd take a new Ratchet over Wolverine entirely. I'm sure I'll enjoy the game in spite of the Marvel stuff, but I'm just so burned out on Marvel, and licensed IP from other media is way less exciting to me than original gaming IP.

 

[dom]

that is one bad cover, why highlight quest for booty

 

[Yerffej]

Put "fuck no" as an option plz

 

[IIFloodyII]

No, now if insomniac got their hands on Sly and did a remake in their engine. Probably (though it'd definitely be a different team than the Wolverine team anyway).

 

[AM_LIGHT]

Just remaster or remake a crack in time. Still the best game in the series.

 

[Smokey_Run]

Hell no. Give me something new.

 

[Incubuster]

No. I've played those games and I love them but they shouldn't take away from the bigger projects. Get another studio to do it and that would be great.

 

[Jogi]

Yes to anything involving ACiT. One of my favorite games of all time. I'm sure Wolverine will be great, but I'd push it back with zero hesitation.

 

[Gray]

Absolutely not. I don't care about R&C.

 

[kadotsu]

This is exactly the thing a studio like Nixxes could do.

 

[Knight in Shining Armani]

R&C to me are cool "one and done" games. No desire to replay any of them tbh.

 

[Chumunga64]

the future games is where the series got iffy so no

but a collection of the PS2 games that's not fucked up like the HD collection? hell yeah

 

[headfallsoff]

It's wild that even this fantasy never happening in a million years hypothetical is still getting voted no lmao. Do you want seven games or one?

 

[StrappingYoungLance]

Pretty sure this is isn't how any of this works but to answer your question: It'd be great to see those games freed from the PlayStation 3 but personally I don't know that I'd revisit them so it would just mean a longer wait for a game I want to play without any benefit for said game that I want to play.

 

[Drakeon]

It's wild that even this fantasy never happening in a million years hypothetical is still getting voted no lmao. Do you want seven games or one?

Click to shrink...

7 old games that are remastered or one new one. Also they're different types of games.

 

[Tohsaka]

No, already played them all and I don't really replay games.

 

[The Lord of Cereal]

I didn't like Spider-Man so I probably won't like Wolverine (also all we have for it is a CGI trailer?) whereas I love Ratchet and Clank and would love to be able to play them at 4k60 on my PS5 especially since I've gone through 5 PS3's…

So yeah, I'd love to see a Ratchet collection made available at any cost

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

No. Damn, it's worse enough that Naughty Dog already spent half of the gen for finishing and porting a remake no one really needed and is still working on multiplayer of TLOU2 ... stop with this nonsens.

 

[Merc_]

I already played R&C Future, so no.

 

[NewDust]

A known quantity over an unknown? Yes wholeheartedly, unshackle the Future from the past.
