Playstation: When Worlds Collide, Heroes Return - Connection With Insomniac Games

New Picture posted on Playstation Twitter.
Close connection with Insomniac games

Prcko4373d ago (Edited 4373d ago )

Ratchet and clank, Please!!!!

ShugaCane4373d ago

I agree, that would be so cool !! As long as it's not Fuse related..

BiggCMan4373d ago (Edited 4373d ago )

COULD THEY POSSIBLY MEAN RATCHET COLLIDING WITH JAK?!?!? AFTER ALL THESE YEARS COULD IT HAPPEN ON PS4?!?!? OOOOOOHHHHH MY GODDDD!!!

@bicfitness, I certainly hope you mean AFTER Crack in Time, cuz that was the greatest game in the entire series. Even if so, Resistance 3 was a damn good game aside from multiplayer.

Ratchet All 4 One was a nice addition that was a blast to play with a friend or 2. Full Frontal Assault is really the only game that was completely unnecessary and lacked quality.

Also, this is a terrifying thought, but someone just informed me that this teaser could also possibly mean a sequel to the GOD awful Playstation Move Heroes. I shiver at the thought :/

bicfitness4373d ago (Edited 4373d ago )

I dunno. Insomniac's quality has really taken a dive lately, and I'm a BIG PS/ Ratchet fan. Since Crack in Time nearly everything they produced was mediocre. I'd rather have a new Jax than Ratchet at this point. Or I'd like to see the IP given to a different set of devs.

Edit" BigC, of course I mean after. "Since" meaning since that point. Crack in Time was awesome, the Ratchet spinoffs and Fuse certainly were NOT.

HammadTheBeast4373d ago

*Heart sinks*

Damn it. The old Insomniac just isn't there anymore. I have no hope for this.

justastranger104373d ago

Is this another overrated PS exclusive?

SilentNegotiator4373d ago (Edited 4373d ago )

All 4 one 2?
Fuse 2?
Maybe they're being given a shot at a Playstation Move Heroes sequel?

The possibilities from Insomniac are so exciting, I can't stomach it. I'm vomiting right now.

Yeah, I don't have much hope for whatever this is. But I know I'm jumping the gun.

millgate14373d ago

If it's Ratchet and Clank, I pray to God that they go back to what made the game fun. None of this tower defense or All 4 One stuff. Something like A Crack in Time would be awesome in my opinion.

ajax174372d ago

@bicfitness I wouldn't call Resistance 3 mediocre. That was a lot of fun.

Looks like something from R&C...but what do they mean by "when worlds collide"?

Insomniac said on their twitter "news coming tomorrow"

Muerte24944373d ago

has been reading the news too since E3. He knows that in order for his company to survive, that he can't just rely on Xbox One. After seeing this, Insomniac Games got to work on a ps4 title. This is just my assumption though.

Maddens Raiders4373d ago

BiggC - I think you're onto it mate.

pabadamus14373d ago

I would have liked a new Resistance game but I would be just as pleased with R&C. They need to stay away from new IPs like Fuse for a while though.

Alexious4373d ago

Yes. I guess it should be a lot funnier than Knack judging from the videos....

Jaces4373d ago

Well, Crack in Time did leave off with a lot of loose ends. Ratchet's own kind trapt/lost in another dimension I think it was? Definitely sounds like a "when worlds collide" kind of deal.

Been playing the R&C HD collection and was actually thinking about when they're going to conclude the duo's adventures.

If that's what this teaser is all about, then bring it on! Always loved the R&C games. :D

Ratchet and Clank...awww man

I must be the only person to think we've had too many Ratchet Games over the years. They could of least waited untill a few years after the PS4 came out

I wanted a new IP, Insomniac haven't been good for years now. The last Ratchet game was a huge disappointment

LightSamus4373d ago

The "main" Ratchet & Clank PS3 games (Tools, Booty, Crack) were all fantastic. It's only the spin-off titles like All 4 One that have been disappointing. If we're getting a new full main title and most likely for PS4, count me in!

Mr_Nuts4373d ago (Edited 4373d ago )

It took place after A Crack in Time...most things which are spin offs don't continue from the end of the last game

I'm not against Ratchet and Clank I just rather of had it later on. Give us a breather from the series, same goes for God of War which i kind of thought it was before this teaser.

LightSamus4373d ago

Oh sure, they're the same universe and whatever but as games, they're not the same. Co-op focus for example.

Jaces4373d ago

Mr Nuts:

They just need to stop GoW for good. I know it's off topic but seriously, Kratos's story is done..leave him be.

TheGrimReaper00114373d ago

@Jaces
Yeah, besides, I think that Santa Monica should start a new IP! They showed with GOW what they are capable of! I personally love the GOW series, but too much is too much

HammadTheBeast4373d ago

Unfortunately, I'm not. After the disappointment that was Fuse and the "ok" look of Sunset Overdrive, I just can't get excited about Insomniac anymore.

TheGrimReaper00114373d ago

Well, i dont think it'll be made by insomniac though. They are making sunset overdrive for xbox one, like you typed.
Would they split their team?
...
I just shuttered at the very idea. There last 2 ratchet games were poorly done, imagine now a game by only half the people

Arai4373d ago (Edited 4373d ago )

Rachet and Clank meets Jak & Daxter = worlds colliding :P
Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games were very close (or still are), so much that they put Easter eggs of the other company in their games.

I don't know, just tossing some idea out there...

sycnation4373d ago

that would epic
gna save for when/if it does

another ps3 swan song ala the last.of.us

Mr_Nuts4373d ago

I'd be a little ticked off if we finally see Jak again only for him to appear in another cross over instead of Jak 4.

Arai4373d ago

Here's a bigger picture of the image (courtesy of JStevenson Community Manager at Insomniac Games).

despair4373d ago

I could get behind that as well. But a purple portal for "heroes return" seems far from resistance type game.

Emilio_Estevez4373d ago

I know, one can dream though right?

faysal4373d ago

could it be cimera world has colided with our world and nathan hale is back? that would be epic....

WeAreLegion4373d ago

AGREED! Resistance 3 had one of the best campaigns I've ever played!

How ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Did Dual Protagonists Right (And Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Didn’t)

Shaz from Pixel Swish: “Both Insomniac Games and Ubisoft have given us games with dual protagonists. However, where Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart’s duo feel exactly the same, Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Yasuke and Naoe feel unique.”

Read Full Story >>

-Foxtrot86d ago

They are exactly the same because it's another version of Ratchet within the multiverse. It's not Ratchet himself or a female version of him but it's someone else who's taken his place / role within that Universe.

The_Hooligan84d ago

Agreed! A better comparison take would have been between AC Syndicate and AC Shadows.

gold_drake86d ago

with ratchet, they are the same, they play the exact same.

im not even sure why this needs to be said, we all know.

isarai86d ago

They weren't trying to make them play differently, literally 2 versions of the same person. Wo ur saying they failed at something they never set out to do 🤨

Profchaos84d ago

What in the f who even thought of that concept and connect these two games that released years apart and have nothing to do with each other.

You could of said fuel protagonist vs other times where AC did duel protagonist or a game like GTA v that allows for on the fly switching

Like how desperate are they for clicks

Levii_9284d ago

Rivet's character was more useless and forced than Abby from TLOU2.

MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol? Also remeber how a beloved vilain Dr Neferious was reduced to a braindead wimp and a parody of himself?

P_Bomb83d ago

“MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol?”

It’s still going on. Especially @ Marvel.

Insomniac Collectively Decided to "Double Down on Story-Driven Character Action Games"

Insomniac's Ted Price talks about the ballooning game development costs, and how it was a studio decision to focus on single-player games.

Cacabunga107d ago (Edited 107d ago )

Wise decision, but give up a little on spiderman please as well

darkwalker107d ago

In other words, Sony forced them lol.

isarai106d ago

Literally only ever made sp games even when they left sony 🙄😒

-Foxtrot106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

Not really. These days it would be more believable if you found out Sony tried to force them do generic live service slop

isarai106d ago

Which they did and cancelled it, thank goodness 😆

Inverno107d ago

I'll be that guy. Their writing needs work cause the story in both Spiderman games were pretty bad. I'm all for more SP games, I prefer em, but man is writing in games in general just gawd awful.

Extermin8or3_106d ago

First spidermans writing was fine, second hand some points where it could have been better and based on the leaks due to the hack alot of content for cut for whatever reason. Had it managed to stick to the story that was originally written without the sometimes frankly weird changes that were made - it would have been much better written.

Inverno106d ago

I thought the first game was too crowded and the characters that should've gotten more attention didn't get enough due to having a rushed Sinister 6 inclusion. But hey thnx for the reply rather than just hitting the disagree.

-Foxtrot106d ago

"enough due to having a rushed Sinister 6 inclusion"

It wouldn't be so bad if they continued this development in background of Spiderman 2 so when Spiderman 3 comes you had the Green Goblin and the Sinister Six as the end goal.

Oh but no...they decided to have Kraven kill most of them off screen and them kill Kraven off at the end when he was part of the original Sinister Six in the comics, how dumb can you get.

Flewid638106d ago

This isn't even the consensus on these games.

-Foxtrot106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

Depends on what game

First Spiderman had a great story

Miles Morales was alright changing the Tinkerer, giving them a brand new origin as Miles old friend to give him a villain over creating his own original villain (which he REALLY needs, even in the comics) was pretty silly. Some of her decisions, writing wise, in the game just made no sense where her sacrifice in the end didn't feel earned.

Spiderman 2...I'll give you that one. They tried to include far too many things story wise and they just couldn't spin that many plates. Harry's return, friction with MJ, Miles, Miles friends and Family, Hailey, Venom, the Symbiote war, Kraven and his Last Hunt. It just felt all over the place and Peter didn't to really shine like he did in the first game.

Extermin8or3_105d ago

Second game was subject to loads of cuts which is why the story feels off I think. https://youtu.be/VEONGKG1gL...

Travesty106d ago

Where are the days where we could have both a really good story and a really fun multiplayer without sacrificing one of the two.. It doesn’t have to be a live service title to be multiplayer. I understand there’s a lot of work that goes into keeping up with it, but still.

Inverno106d ago

Those days were left on the PS360 era. I spent too much time during my depressed teenage years playing and sucking at Uncharted 2. I know people really enjoyed the Gears MP too, and Halo doesn't need to even be explained. Some games did it right, too many tacked it on, and F2P ruined it all.

isarai106d ago

I think the main problem is that everyone overthinks the multiplayer. It doesn't have to be some Grand live service game with season passes and a giant open world map with a Battle Royale mode.
