[PS3] Ratchet & Clank HD Collection

[Buzzman]

I'm too lazy to read about it, have they fixed the controls in the older R&C games, particularly 1?

IDK about the eurogamer, but IGN said 1 was still clunky.

Pre-order from Gamestop for $29.99.

Amazon matched Gamestop's pre-order price of $29.99.

I wonder why they aren't releasing it until October if it is already review-ready. I am a little wary about going for this still despite this being my favorite franchise period. I don't know if I'll have any desire to play the first game since mechanically the sequels are all-around drastically improved versions of the previous title.

I don't know if any of you guys every played the Up Your Arsenal multiplayer but it was excellent for the time, really fun objective-based team game-modes with a great community. I doubt there will be as strong of a one for this but its still nice to see they included it.

So did I. Too bad they aren't offering 99¢ release day delivery.

If you pre-order it you get it release day for free.

The North American version is supposed to have some extras compared the European version. If you really wanted to play it now, you could just import it with no problem.

Where in the fuck did you see that? I think you're losing it dude.

Here's the entire page listing. Nothing about free release day shipping. I've never even heard of that on Amazon.

Ok, so the rumor is that Japan is getting Deadlocked HD as a PSN download so it is entirely possible that it will be included on the US disc. There is also another rumor from a blog of one of the Insomniac guys that the US version will come with a download code for the new PSN R&C game Full Frontal Assault, releasing around the same time as the HD collection. That would be fucking boss!

I thought I hear or read that a fourth game was included with the North American version as well. I can't remember the source though.

EDIT: This is about as close as I can come to backing up my post at the moment.

This is from the comments from the PS Blog's announcement of R&C: Full Frontal Assault.

My bad, I have Amazon Prime which gives me at the option for free.

 

[Handleit_44]

Pre-ordered and paid in full.

 

[Twigg4075]

Now if only Insomniac would release trophy patches for Resistance 1, R&C ToD and QfB, I would drive to their studio and kiss them on the mouth.

 

[Twigg4075]

So, from reading the comments on the PS Blog that Pad linked to, I take it "James Stevenson" is Ted Price? At least one person referred to him as Ted. Either way, whomever it is they are personable as shit. I love how they get right into the conversation with us peons and answer every question they can as best as they can. Good shit.

I know he mentioned that FFA will be similar to QFB in length but will have much more replayability. I'm guessing from his comments that Deadlocked will be the extra we get in the U.S.

And to think, all this for $30?

Plus trophies?!?


:dance:

I know. I have a major hard on right now. I can't believe I waited so long to play the R&C games.

Now that I think about it, I think Newegg had a $10 off deal for J&D for pre-order way back when. Kicking myself for not taking advantage.

Link: Ratchet & Clank Collection Hits August 28th With Sly Cooper Demo

As the celebration of Ratchet & Clank’s 10th Anniversary has unfolded this year, we’ve received your anxious e-mails, tweets and Facebook messages asking us when you can get your hands on the Ratchet & Clank Collection in North America. Today, we can tell you the remaster of three original PS2 Ratchet & Clank games will be available at retailers and via PlayStation Network on August 28th for $29.99!

The Collection features 1080p HD remasters of three PS2 Ratchet & Clank classics: Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. In addition, these three games have Trophy and 3D support (in 720p), and the fine folks over at Idol Minds have restored online play to Up Your Arsenal. At last, those who missed out on competitive R&C gameplay during the PS2 Network Adapter era can finally check it out!

We realize that the Ratchet & Clank Collection is arriving in North America a bit later than it did in Europe and Japan. To reward you for your patience, we’re giving you exclusive first access to the Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time demo when you purchase the Collection. If you love Ratchet, you probably love Sly, and the Ratchet & Clank Collection will let you test drive Sly’s new time-traveling adventure starting on August 28th. As an added bonus, you’ll receive a special Ratchet & Clank 10th anniversary avatar!

We can’t wait to for you to get your hands on these three remastered Ratchet & Clank games, the Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time demo and the 10th anniversary avatar on August 28th. In the meantime, keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages for the latest on the Collection, as well as the newly announced Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault!
