EGM cover story, dunno how this didn't get a thread on gaf yet.

1. No Clank in sight
2. Looks to be more like the Jak series in tone
3. Ratchet is not seen outside of robotic armor
4. Squad-based combat play
5. Apparently it's based in a "combat-based reality show"
6. ONLINE, of course. Online coop through single player as well.

wha? No Clank and Ratchet is not seen outside of robotic armor? What's the point of basing it on the R&C franchise if when they seem to be deliberately minimizing the presence of the main characters? Is Clank perhaps the robotic armor in question?

I thought the EGM cover story was PSU?

Sounds like it'd fit between the continuity of Rachet 1 & 2, though my memory is a tad hazy.

 

[radrelic]

Is Ratchet haunted by his dark past?

I bet Clank is the armour Rachet is wearing.

Ya, sounds about right. PSU has the main coverspace, but they also feature LoZ, Soul Cal III, Shitow the Hedgehog, Jak X (mission based racing!), and Ratchet: Deadlocked.

Rumors thread, nondescript title, this deserves it's own thread.

2005 is truly the year of "4" for PS2.

Jak X (mission based racing!)

Oh, they're still tweaking Jak 3?

 

[StrikerObi]

Is Ratchet haunted by his dark past?

OR IS HE?

three games this gen was enough, even if this does go for an all-out action formula. I'd rather they make a clank spin off game for psp that did something with wifi.

With Ratchet getting a PS2 game, a Clank PSP game could be coming. Ratchet gets too much hate anyway.

Kinda like how 1998 was the year of "3" for PSone.

Last year was the year of 3.

Jak 3
Ratchet 3
Metal Gear Solid 3

What else am I forgetting?

I'm guessing a puzzle game of some sort.

No Clank! If clank isnt in the game, that would suck so badly.

Yeah because Clank is a major part of each Ratchet and Clank games. [/sarcasm]

Shit. 1 and 2 are real bad news. Clank is a way better character than Ratchet. Ratchet is too "GNARLY DUUUDE" for my tastes.

 

[Littleberu]

Ok, I'll say it : Clank is the prize for the reality show. You win, you get Clank. Mark my words.

 

[SomeDude]

Woohoo, the PS2 seems like it's going to have a great fall 05.

 

[AniHawk]

I sure hope this plays well. The series has been great.

And what about Jak X? Don't you have anything to say about Jak X?

 

[Doom_Bringer]

wtf is this using the jak 3 engine or something?
