Ratchet & Clank Movie coming in 2015 - First Trailer

One of the biggest questions we’ve gotten in the last few years is “When are you going to make a Ratchet & Clank movie?” The truth is, we’ve wanted to do a movie for a long time! Ratchet & Clank’s action, humor and galaxy-spanning adventures have really been the basis for a fantastic game series, and we think it’d translate perfectly to the big screen.
We’ve been looking for the right partner to help us bring a Ratchet & Clank movie to life, and we’re thrilled to announce that Blockade Entertainment and Rainmaker Entertainment are currently in production on Ratchet & Clank’s first cinematic adventure.

I wish they would of done this years ago.

Hopefully Sony Create a DC type Universe Movie, for there games.

Jak & D
Sly
LBP
KZ
Resistance etc....

toxic-inferno4013d ago

I can see a Jak and Daxter movie working out really well. Not sure how a LBP movie would work, but it sounds adorable!

mcnablejr4013d ago

I am so freaking excited for this, i loved them on the ps2, unfortunately i didnt really get a chance to play the ps3 versions, this is epic, please be real.

shivvy244013d ago

A crack in time on the PS3 is the best by far ! Give it a go :)

IcyEyes4013d ago

I second that, RnC a crack in time is (imho) the best with the Clank's puzzle incredible fun.

extermin8or4013d ago

crack in time is the best and the recent q force or full frontal assualt is great fun :D

trenso14012d ago

a crack in time was better than tools for destruction imo the quest for booty download isnt bad either, i wish the added multiplayer like they had size matters on psp, the online was cool

Retroman4012d ago (Edited 4012d ago )

how ever this movie turn out R&C hope a game version is in the making "PIXAR" QUALITY.

vickers5004012d ago (Edited 4012d ago )

I liked tools of destruction a lot more than a crack in time. Tools was my fist ratchet game to play and i believe my third or fourth ps3 game and i loved it. Took me a while to finish a crack in time though, i didn't like the rocket boots things and didn't like not having clank. Also didn't like the clank puzzle sections.

I can imagine Sony making a Sly Cooper TV Series.

miyamoto4013d ago (Edited 4013d ago )

Actually PlayStation Movies in the works are:

1 Shadow of the Colossus
2 Uncharted
3 God of War
4 Heavenly Sword
5 Ratchet and Clank

and kind of...

6 Metal Gear
7 Amazing Spider-Man 2

the minute I finished Uncharted 2 I knew Sony has a multi media plan for their PlayStation franchises to tie in with Sony Pictures. So far they are doing a great job at this game-movie concept with Uncharted initiative, maximizing their assets.

Gravity Rush anime please Sony

Retroman4012d ago (Edited 4012d ago )

PIXAR all the way baby!!

Thatguy-3104013d ago

Omg this is a really smart move from there part. It will honestly introduce new people to the games. Have a 4 yr old nephew that will totally see this since he can't really get into the games at the moment. But can't lie that I'm quite psyched myself. I agree with Braided that they should do it to other CGI looking franchises like Sly Cooper for example.

G20WLY4013d ago (Edited 4013d ago )

This is a no brainer, what's taken them so long? Love these games and so do my 6 year old nephews - even my dad loves it lol (we co-opped the last game from start to finish and it was intense!).

Love that the sense of humour caters for adults with subtle 'undertones', without kids knowing, kinda like the Simpsons ;o)

GiggMan4013d ago

Also we'll finally get a game based off of a movie and the game won't suck.. Probably because the movie is based off of a game that doesn't suck... Although 2015? That sucks...

Well anyway, back to work... (Sucks)

tigertron4013d ago

I didn't see this one coming. I'm looking forward to it. :)

AMD users left in the dirt with "ludicrous" Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart hardware issues

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart hardware issues are a huge problem for AMD users

ocelot07265d ago

Strange with the ps5 being amd based it would of been more optimized for amd gpu's.

mkis007265d ago (Edited 265d ago )

Lets see just how widespread these issues are... doesnt make a bit of sense because the game was made for amd hardware.

: oh its just complaining over amd's poor implementation of things on the pc side.

PunksOnN4G265d ago

Why would it be its obvi on AMD drivers

mkis007265d ago (Edited 265d ago )

Maybe you are not up to date on the current state of AMD's Raytracing support and FSR.

Please tell me were you got never sony from in my comment?

ModsDoBetter265d ago

"Please tell me were you got never sony from in my comment?"

This is a first party title.
Released and poorly optimised. You jump straight to AMD being completely at fault as if TLoU PC port didn't happen.

Christopher265d ago (Edited 265d ago )

AMD themself said it was a driver issue.

generic-user-name264d ago

You should probably make sure it is Sony before trying to fling mud.

ModsDoBetter264d ago

@Generic with the cope:

From DigitalFoundry,

"The comparison, which was shared by Digital Foundry, was accompanied by a written analysis that goes over some of the port's best features, such as good scalability, which allows players with the proper hardware to enjoy much better visuals than on PlayStation 5 and those with underpowered machines to have still a decent experience barring some stuttering, and issues, such as missing transparency effects at max settings, texture loading issues, shadows issues with ray tracing enabled, stability issues and more. With the additional disabling of ray tracing on AMD GPUs due to stability issues, it feels like this is yet another port that was launched in an unpolished state and that will require multiple patches to be in a truly acceptable one."

"it feels like this is yet another port that was launched in an unpolished state and that will require multiple patches to be in a truly acceptable one."

This is not solely an issue with AMD, the port is "yet another" with missing features.

AMD has always been crap compared to Nvidia. The only advantage they have is price.

DarXyde265d ago

And power efficiency. And arguably better performance on 1080p/1440p cards. And availability.

Nvidia cards really aren't worth hunting high and low for when there are very comparable AMD cards that are cheaper. I really have to give credit to AMD for their very frequent and consistent grind with RDNA. This issue I reckon is a developer level problem.

Can't really miss with either, but considering Jensen and Lisa are relatives, they probably laugh about these debates over a very expensive holiday dinner.

iAmyRose265d ago

Naw AMD have had instances of being good, Nvidia do have better features, raytracing and AI performance if you play with software that uses it though.

KeeseToast264d ago

@DarXyde
Power efficiency is not true at all this gpu generation. Nvidia‘s 4000 series is more power efficient that AMD 7000

DivineHand125264d ago

I believe AMD offers higher vram at lower price points compared to NVidia. We have found out that this generation needs at least 8GB to load the highest detail textures at 1080p.

This issue with the drivers will eventually be fixed for Ratchet and Clank, however, the vram issue NVidia has on their midrange and entry level cards can only be fixed by spending more money on a higher end card.

CantThinkOfAUsername265d ago

AMD has already confirmed it's a driver-related issue on their cards. Besides, AMD 'users' can't stop telling us how not important Ray Tracing is, how they always play with it off, and how it's an 'Nvidia gimmick.' This shouldn't be a problem for them I believe.

On a side note, kudos to Nixxes and Sony for releasing one of the best PC ports in 2023. Amazing graphics with Ray Tracing, great performance, detailed system requirements, plenty of graphics options, all upscaling technologies (DLSS, FSR, and XeSS), DirectStorage 1.2, and native Mouse and Keyboard support.

INMATEofARKHAM265d ago

Not surprised by an AMD driver issue... I love they are in the market and help keep Intel honest but I've had some whacked driver issues with then so I always just go with Intel anymore.

I'm sure they'll have it fixed in the coming days, if it even takes that long, just one of the joys of PC gaming.

ChasterMies265d ago

Imma just sayin’, this is why I play on consoles.

Good-Smurf265d ago

No issues at all on PS5 and some already called me being trolling yesterday.
No telling how well it will run on my PC because there's too things that can go wrong there being High End Nvidia stuff and everything.

MadLad265d ago

Consoles are highly limiting; and when devs screw up optimizing their games on console, you're screwed. You don't have the option of powering through it.

Binarycode265d ago

That's why always wait and see what the game plays like on any device before you buy.

I think they've done a good job porting it to pc, but it needs to be able to run on lower end cards and should have a ram indicator to show how much video ram is being used.

ChasterMies264d ago

That’s why I play on PS5. The user base is so big, devs can’t afford to screw up optimizing their games for it.

MrVux000264d ago

Looking at the overall state of PC gaming and its ports of AAA games for the past 3-4 years vs consoles ports.

Not really helping your case.

1nsomniac265d ago

People never listened when I said that this game doesn’t use “real” ray tracing on PS5. I believe it uses a very clever advanced/modified screen space reflection system. Which is why the real ray tracing doesn’t work on pc.

Outside_ofthe_Box264d ago

Does it matter? I thought we were past this "real" nonsense. The end results matter more. If you can't distinguish, who cares. If it allows for better/more stable frame rate who cares. MS f'd everything when they started using terms like "true" and "real" in their marketing when they launched the One X last gen. People are finally starting to realize that "True 4K" doesn't matter if you have to sacrifice framerate to achieve it. In the end something always has to give if you are truly pushing the hardware.

Binarycode264d ago

Raytracing reflections are used on PS5 as they are in Spiderman, Same engine. tested by professionals with first hand knowledge.

PC Ray-tracings problems are bugs and on AMD side a driver issue.

Lastly if AMD want to compete in the RT space, they need to come up with a solution. As in a unique chip to do it, not just make the gpu with some driver things help it. It's miles behind Nvidia.

Three Original Games That Still Stand Tall Alongside Their Remakes

Usually, remakes outclass their predecessors in every way. Some games are just too good to fade into the shadow of a remake though; here's a short list of the best.

Missing Resident Evil 2 and 3. Arguably Resident Evil 1 as well.

NecrumOddBoy428d ago

Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee is 1000% better than New and Tasty and Abe’s Exoddus is about 100,000% better than that abysmal SoulStorm.

Ratchet & Clank Are The Only Surviving (& Thriving) PS2 Mascots

The PS2 birthed various notable PlayStation mascots, but Ratchet and Clank appear to be the only ones that made it on every later console generation.

MadLad506d ago (Edited 506d ago )

We needed remakes of Jak and Daxter more than pumping out an unnecessary "remake" of Last of Us.

Then again, we're hilariously now getting a "remake" of Horizon Zero Dawn, so Sony is already outdoing themselves.

neutralgamer1992505d ago

😂 man really HZD just came out

MadLad505d ago

People on here go at me because I always take jabs at Sony, but it's because I want to see them do better.
Do they make great games? Of course. As of this gen does their ecosystem suck? I'd say definitely yes.

They're becoming more anti consumer by the day.

neutralgamer1992505d ago

Mad

It's not PlayStation bro it's Jimbo and his cronies thinking the success of because of them and not guys like Shawn layden, Andrew house etc

MadLad505d ago

I get that. Jim needs to go. At the same time, we're still the consumer, and Sony is still the people doing the hiring and writing the checks. They need to stop turning a blind eye to how Playstation is being handled right now and get things back on track.

This isn't last generation. Xbox is real competition again. You're seeing a lot of people getting tired of what they're doing with the brand the last couple of years.

Vengeance1138506d ago

God of War? Hello? Is Kratos not a PS2 mascot? Hard to think that he's not.

SonyStyled506d ago

Beat me to it. When I read the headline I was like “huh?”

Lifexline506d ago

I don’t think so for some reason the title mascot is always given to “platformers” characters like Mario in particular when it comes to games.

Miscrosoft tried d to make master chief it’s mascot but it never really stuck because those characters appeal to a small percentage of gamers.

Vengeance1138506d ago (Edited 506d ago )

God of War on PS2 does have platforming elements in it, if Jak & Daxter and Ratchet can be considered platformers with the inclusion of minor platforming elements in them then so can God of War.

What a mascot is though is simply a game series based around a "named character". Solid Snake is a mascot, Gabe Logan from Syphon Filter is a mascot, Lara Croft is a mascot etc... we really don't get many franchises based around a single named protagonist anymore.
Master Chief is 100% Microsoft's mascot and yes he does appeal to a very wide range of gamers. He's a space marine much akin to the Terran in Starcraft, whats not to love.

darthv72505d ago

blinx was the xb mascot, not master chief. but they gave up on blinx after the 2nd game which is sad as there was lots of potential there. They should bring him back.

abstractel505d ago (Edited 505d ago )

So the definition of a mascot is that they have to be cartoony and platform characters? Makes little sense to me.

Mascot, Icon, whatever word you want to use, Kratos is definitely part of that Playstation definition. And yeah, Master Chief is one for Xbox for whatever it's worth.

Levii_92506d ago

Nahh we don’t need these kind’s of games we need more walking slimulators like Naughty Dog games and remakes of games that aren’t even 10 years old because they make money right Sony. The fact that R&C is still around AND still good is a goddamn miracle that i’m very grateful for.

Z501506d ago

"We need more walking Simulators"

Like Hellblade 2?

solideagle506d ago

lol it's funny how your only game is about Sony games because Microsoft has no games to compare to :p

Smellsforfree505d ago

Which is absolutely fine since he wasn't comparing Sony to MS in his comment to begin with.

shinoff2183505d ago (Edited 505d ago )

Its obvious your just hating levii92. You can call last of us whatever the f you want Ill call it one of the best games Ive played. Also if you cant see the huge drastic difference in graphics between a ps3 and subsequent remaster to ps4 which didnt change the looks to much to a remake for ps5 where the graphics are phenomenal then thats on you lil guy. And its far from a walking simulator Id guess you never even played it.

Truth is the last of us is fantastic and if you dont wanna pay that much for it wait, if you even play ps which I doubt. It was just 50 bucks everywhere. Im still waiting until its 30 or so cause I dont like to spend over 30 40 bucks on any games these days.

On the bright side atleast you can stand in the corner or something cause I know the other system doesnt have alot going on these days.

TheEnigma313505d ago

Bitter because your console can't produce games lol.

SonyStyled505d ago

Levii, does it bother you that the remake came out 9.25 years after the original? Would your balls not be squeezed as hard if it was delayed 9 months?

Rocosaurus505d ago

You are not wrong. The probably two biggest ps5 exclusives next year are the second chapter of FF7 (remake) and Knights of the old Republic (remake).

z2g505d ago

the last R+C (rift apart) was definitely way better than I wanted to give it credit for before playing. still one of the best, most impressive ps5 games imo.

badz149505d ago

the game is so good, the only flaw I want to highlight is the fact that it's a little bit short for my liking. I want more of it damn it!
