YES!!! FINALLY!!! This game sounds like it'll be great! I just hope that it'll be as good (or even better) as A Crack in Time.2013-07-11 01:37:00

So it's pretty much confirmed that that was a Ratchet and Clank game... :/ Oh well, was hoping it'd be MM's new game or a crossover or something.

Ah well, close my other thread now, mods		2013-07-11 01:42:00

The rumors are true: Insomniac Games is developing a new Ratchet & Clank game. It’s called Into the Nexus, and it will appear exclusively on PlayStation 3 later this fall.
I was lucky enough to get an extended look at the duo's return -- in pre-alpha form -- and was left quite impressed with what I saw. In short, Into the Nexus gets the series back to its roots, a so-called “traditional” Ratchet & Clank game the likes of which PlayStation gamers haven’t seen since 2009's A Crack In Time.
Check out our video preview below, and then keep on reading to learn more about what to expect when Into the Nexus launches later in 2013.


Into the Nexus begins with Ratchet and Clank transporting twin villains Vendra and Neftin Prog to a location known as the Vartax Detention Center. This voyage brings our favorite lombax-and-robot duo to haunted space, however, and while in the process of bringing his foes to lock-up, they escape Ratchet’s grasp. This leaves Ratchet and Clank alone and stranded in the scariest sector of space they’ve ever visited.
Long-time Insomniac employee and the visionary behind the Ratchet & Clank series, Brian Allgeier, noted that “the time was right to come back to the core series” with Into the Nexus after he'd spent time on Fuse. All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault were enjoyed by some and criticized by others, but it can’t be disputed that neither was a traditional, true-to-form Ratchet & Clank game. Allgeier said that doing a “family” and “competitive” game, respectively, allowed his team to finally “do something different,” but Into the Nexus finally allows them to go back in an old-school direction.
http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/07/rncintothenexuscinematicjpg-50f52d_640w-610x343.jpg (http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/07/rncintothenexuscinematicjpg-50f52d_640w.jpg) They're back!

As such, Allgeier wanted to “make Ratchet feel like Ratchet again.” To accomplish this goal, he and his team made a prototype stage -- a “jungle gym,” as he described it -- to get Ratchet’s quintessential feel just right. They then segued what they learned (or re-learned) into their new project, which isn’t only designed to give longtime Ratchet fans what they crave, but to explore the “darkness of space.” While Into the Nexus is very humorous, as all Ratchet games are, Allgeier thought it would be “fun to take [the series] in a spookier direction” with its newest entry.
Following Vendra and Neftin Prog’s escape, Ratchet & Clank arrive at a planet called Yerek. Yerek is your typical Ratchet & Clank gas giant -- a temperate locale inhabited by bumbling, heavily-armed enemies -- and it’s here that I got my very first glimpse of Ratchet’s new, incredibly wacky arsenal. Sure, Ratchet has some of his typical weapons -- his sidearm called the Omniblaster and his signature melee weapon, for instance -- but there are a bunch of new tools at his disposal that are worth noting.


One such weapon is called the Nightmare Box, which is really more of a distraction than an actual weapon. When deployed, it scares enemies, forcing them to either flee or to attack the box, giving Ratchet an angle to strike his foes. Another weapon, the Repulsor, will leave bad guys suspended in midair when deployed, again giving Ratchet the time he needs to attack without being damaged by the opposition.
Into the Nexus also contains two types of grenades: the Vortex Grenade and the Fusion Grenade. The Vortex Grenade creates black holes that raise nearby foes into the air and force them to helplessly revolve around the black hole while Ratchet picks ‘em off from afar (it‘s also useful to coerce armored enemies from stationary, defensive positions like gun turrets). The Fusion Grenade is a little more straight-forward: it’s an arc-thrown explosive that does major area-of-effect damage.
http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/07/rncintothenexusvillainsjpg-50f52a_640w-610x343.jpg (http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/07/rncintothenexusvillainsjpg-50f52a_640w.jpg) Beware.

The strangest -- and funniest -- weapon of them all, however, is the Winterizer. When Ratchet employs the aptly-named gun, all enemies it hits will turn into snowmen. Better yet, the weapon plays Jingle Bells while it’s working its magic. It’s an amazingly fitting, totally insane Ratchet weapon, and from the looks of it, it appears extremely useful during the heat (heh) of battle.
Ratchet also has a non-offensive device at his disposal, an extremely useful gadget called the Grav Tether. With it, Ratchet can attach portals strewn about the environment, creating beams that will transport him seamlessly from one portal to another. What’s cool about the Grav Tether is that the puzzles that demand its use become more complex as time goes on. It won’t be long before you’re connecting several portals together at once, all while under a strict time limit, in order to cross wide chasms and other dangerous obstacles.
http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/07/rcnnexusthugs4less1jpg-50f530_640w-610x343.jpg (http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/07/rcnnexusthugs4less1jpg-50f530_640w.jpg) Thugs-4-Less?!

Clank also has an all-new function in addition to some of his returning moves (such as giving Ratchet the ability to long jump, high jump, and glide). Into the Nexus revolves heavily around the idea of what are, in essence, alternate dimensions, and when Clank is deployed in one of these areas, he gets to go to work. Players will control him directly in puzzle-heavy 2D platforming sections somewhat reminiscent of the lesser-known downloadable game Pid. Successfully completing these areas -- called Netherverses -- open up new locations for he and Ratchet to explore.
Apart from a ton of new gadgets and weapons -- and some new tricks and skills -- a lot of familiar staples of the series have returned. The franchise’s famous Skill Points are back, of course, as are hidden Gold Bolts. Regular bolts that are collected can be spent as currency to acquire new goods, and every weapon can be upgraded through experience earned by using that weapon in battle. Familiar characters will also return, including Captain Qwark, Cronk, Zephyr, and Talwyn. Even the Thugs-4-Less mercenaries from Going Commando will be back. This game is, after all, an epilogue to the Future branch of the Ratchet & Clank franchise.

Oh, and as for the complete lack of innuendo in Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus’ name? One of Insomniac’s working titles for the game was Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nether Regions. But the developer eventually settled on Into the Nexus as its final title (it will be called just Ratchet & Clank: Nexus in Europe).
And as for a Vita iteration? It’s entirely possible, but it’s still up in the air. The Vita version of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault met a whole lot of trouble during development and came to the market much later than it was supposed to. As such, Insomniac is cautious this time around. “Everyone would love for it to come to Vita,” Insomniac’s James Stevenson told me, “but it has to be up to the series’ standards” before the company makes any definitive statement.
In the meantime, rest assured Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus will be available for PlayStation 3 this fall both digitally and on disc -- and for $29.99 to boot.

While it's not as big as A Crack in Time, it's much much larger than Q4B or FFA was. It's pretty meaty. New planets, lots of new weapons, lots of variety and stuff to do.

Probably the only reason it won't be for PS4 is probably because Insomniac is supposedly "changing" to the Xbox One.		2013-07-11 03:17:00

YES! A real true Ratchet & Clank game... I've been waiting for this. One of the few video game series I actually like still on this planet.

You got problems bud. You should go see a doctor. Hoohooo~ Because this is quite epic news tbh. *mew

But I do hope they have a Ratchet game planned of this type for the PS4 too.		2013-07-11 04:00:00

Tbh I'm not sure where people are getting the idea Insomniac is leaving Sony. Some news I missed somewhere? Regardless not sure I believe it until I see it. As in Insomniac making Ratchet games only on Xbone. *mew		2013-07-11 05:02:00

They aren't leaving Sony. Sony never owned them (I don't think). It's just that Insomniac finds the Xbox One more appealing than the PS4.		2013-07-11 05:06:00

It seems the Insomniacs learned something from their mistakes and we will finally get a proper Ratchet & Clank game.

It looks great! Ratchet & Clank is an awesome series, I'm happy to see they're not giving it up (despite the sales, that probably don't live up to Insomniac's expectations). So, has the $29,99 price been confirmed? Will it be a short game like Quest For Booty?2013-07-11 10:05:00

longer than quest for booty, shorter than a crack in time.
insomniac hasn't 'moved to xbox one' as many xbox fans seem to think, they had a vision for a continually updating game which was only possible using xbox ones cloud service. it's worth noting that any new ip's made by insomniac are owned by insomniac and therefore there's every chance that sunset overdrive may come to ps4 or even wii u eventually.
this game looks to be really cool actually, it''ll be nice to finally see the lombax saga ended, and to those who recon this'll be the last ratchet game it's probably worth noting that the previews all mention alternate dimensions so the return of the lombaxs'll likely be the ending of the game. to me that sounds more like this one is intended to bridge the gap between the futrure saga and some.. well future saga 		2013-07-11 10:13:00

Lol. Anyway I'm looking forward to this game. While I doubt the game will be on vita or at least made by tin giant, I will still get this hopefully on day 1. Hoping FFA will still get updates when this releases because a map of this game would be exciting to play on FFA.

Nope. The game is going to be longer than FFA and QFB but shorter than the average R&C games.		2013-07-11 18:15:00

In this video the guy said at 3:11 "A game like this for vita is possible. Insomniac wants to make sure any Vita version meets the standard quality before they make any promises."
So there is a chance. This means that if they make a vita version or someone else would (likely) then it would have to look good enough. So basically run better than FFA Vita and the design could also look more like on the ps3 than FFA Vita tried to look like the PS3 version.		2013-07-12 08:50:00

-Insomniac has confirmed on twitter that there will be a pre-order bonus. Still is not the time to confirm what is it though.

-The game will include challenge mode.
-Playstation Blogcast 080: Into the Nexus with Brian Allgeir and James Stevenson Interview http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/07/11/playstation-blogcast-080-into-the-nethers/
-Main villians are Vendra Prog (the one you see trapped in the announcement trailer) and her brother, Neftin Prog.
-Reason why this title doesn't have future is because of other regions never had "future" in the titles at all.
-Will not show gameplay on comic con. Blog didn't include the game.
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/07/12/first-public-hands-on-with-ps4-is-at-san-diego-comic-con/
-Game will run in 30 fps. Which is normal for a R&C game

Lots of stuff in only a couple days. No news on the Vita version. As insomniac said, it's TBD right now.

Also this is random but check out what insomniac posted on facebook. This was ratchet before he had stripes, he looks different, ect...

Only ACIT was 60. QFB, A4O, FFA, Including this are 30 frames. Well...Except TOD actually, It's more of between, 45. But I think it's safe to say 45 because it was never smooth as ACIT.		2013-07-16 17:03:00

I really wouldn't get your hopes up for a VITA release after FFA's abysmal port ansd less than stellar sales, sony can't afford to risk the franchise' brand over poor games, especially if any VITA exclusive RaC games are planned. it's pretty much in the unlikely side of happening and I doubt it will ever see the light of day.
that said the ps3 version looks ok, nice graphics, nice gameplay, nothing too original mind you.		2013-07-22 15:12:00

I think it is likely. Remember FFA Vita was made by 3 people. If anything, a ITN port is probably a better decision than what Sony had been making on the Vita... *Cough* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQTuwSx1Yn0 *Cough*. And people want a vita version so it is hard for Sony to say no. Ofc they could make a new game of R&C instead of a port but it would probably cost more money and I don't trust another company other than High Impact to make a brand new R&C game only for the Vita.		2013-07-22 16:46:00

yeah but the poor sales of FFA (obviously if the games aren't profitable in a big way it isn't worth the job), coupled with the bad reviews mean sony could tarnish the brand if the next port isn't up to scratch. scince the only good VITA version of any game intended for ps3 was sly 4 (which isn't a port) it's unlikely this one'll be good.
add to that the fact that insomniacs answer was basically a 'this is unlikely to come to VITA but never say neve' kinda thing it seems to me a port is unlikely. of course it'd be great if it did get ported, all I'm saying is not to get your hopes up too high		2013-07-22 17:57:00

In this video the guy said at 3:11 "A game like this for vita is possible. Insomniac wants to make sure any Vita version meets the standard quality before they make any promises."

yeah maybe it's just my interpretation of the words but the way he says it basically sound more like them not wanting to give a resounding 'no' just yet rather than a 'yeah it's probably coming eventually'2013-07-23 12:04:00

Ohh... ok but why post it again? Was it because of correcting smudge or something?2013-07-23 20:05:00

haha, again, niether of us is correct in this situation, the issue was the difference between our two interpretations of what was said. being a pesimist I saw it as 'nah mate' and being more optimistic you saw it as 'quite possibly'
reading it again, it seems like they're maybe doing a small demo to see if it's worth the hassle, which, based on sony's past with ps3-VITA ports is in my opinion unlikely.		2013-07-23 20:26:00

Oh I forgot to mention this. This is old news but no one ever posted it so...TJ the person that wrote the story of the future series and comic books had left Insomniac games. I believe he will still be working on the R&C movie and they PROBABLY already finished the story for the most part for this game. Farewell TJ... We'll miss you.

might actually be a good thing to be honest, the series has been becoming more childish as it goes on, and he also wrote fuse which... y'know...
i still recon gladiator had the best writing in the series.		2013-08-13 11:02:00

LEAKED INFO!
http://cdon.no/spill/ratchet_%26_clank%3a_nexus-24723750?utm_source=prisguide_no&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=prisguide_no

Translation:
Here's what it says:
Head to exotic planets and get to know mysterious life forms in classic Ratchet & Clank-style
Use delightfully absurd weapons like the Black hole Grenade, Zombitron, and the devastating Shadow Hammer
See how you can deal with unspeakable dangers in The Dark Zone in the new Zero Gravity Clank-missions, and fight side by side with legendary heroes like Captain Qwark, Talwyn, Cronk and Zephyr.

Insomniac has confirmed that they will TRY to live stream the demo for PAX and our good pal Brian Allgeier answer some questions for you.

However they are not making any promises.

Vitti: "If we were to say... live stream the Into the Nexus Gamescom/PAX demo next week... and say... have Brian Allgeier answer some questions for you... when would be a good time?

Not making promises, just something we are going to try and do

Also we are on East Coast time, so take that into account. Between 10am - 6pm EDT.

Go...

PS - He obviously is not going to answer EVERYTHING. There are some things we are not talking about yet. Just wanted to make sure I got that out there."

Hey guys. We hope you?re excited for Ratchet & Clank: Nexus (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/tag/ratchet-clank-nexus/). Everyone here at Insomniac (http://www.insomniacgames.com) has been working really hard to bring you Ratchet and Clank?s latest adventure, and we?re happy to announce that it will be available in-stores and online on 13th November, 2013!
An epilogue to the Future games (Tools of Destruction, Quest For Booty, A Crack in Time), Ratchet & Clank: Nexus is packed with an all-new story, an all-new arsenal, and all-new gadgets ? and it's only ?29.99.

http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2819/10069210936_05e380eae8.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblogeurope/10069210936/)
Some of you have asked us why we made a shorter Ratchet game. The truth is, we relished this ability to tie a bow on the PS3 era of Ratchet with a shorter title. All of us love the Ratchet universe ? and after 12 years developing the series, it feels like a very close friend.
We have a lot of stories to tell, some longer, some shorter. This one felt just right. It's a very polished self-contained return to the Ratchet adventures of yore. It's impactful, too; filled with planet-hopping, guns blazing, joke-cracking Ratchet & Clank, and events happen here that will change Ratchet forever. Think of it as a small epic.
Another question we get asked a lot is how Ratchet & Clank (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/tag/ratchet-clank/) games get created. We unearthed this excellent VHS promotional tape all about the Insomniac Gamatorium, detailing the process. Check it out:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Los9Mg2W1kk&feature=player_embedded

We?ve also been asked if we?ll be offering a pre-order bonus for Nexus. We?re happy to reveal that we will have a pre-order bonus at participating retailers. Ratchet?s Pyronox Armor is inspired by Gadgetron?s popular Infernox Armor. This lightweight durable suit is for the fashion-conscious adventurer. Besides granting a 5% damage-reduction, it also all-but guarantees ?Best-Dressed? awards at high-school reunions.

Oh em gee, played this at eurogamer and it is seriously good! I really like the new weapons (nightmare box surprisingly not the best one, quantum repulsor is awesome) and I like the portal 2-esque gravity lift puzzles. Super excited!2013-10-03 17:50:00

Any new info about the Vita version?

There's never been any real info just rumours and now a PS3/Vita trophy list and an in game cloud save feature.

Most we can assume is that they are developing it but the lack of announcement could mean it isn't in a state where it can be shown or it may have already been scrapped.		2013-11-23 22:47:00

Any new info about the Vita version?
Nope. Closest thing to any news about anything R&C mobile related is that the app was announced (Before the Nexus) for IOS and Android. Still no release date for the app, but my guess would be at the end of the month hopefully.

It's definitely not scrapped yet... "It may happen, it may not."- Beast
I'm sure they would tell us if they canceled it if people asked.		2013-11-24 01:42:00

Sony has been terrible with information about R&C ports, apps, and even dlc. They have been horrible with the information with FFA Vita, the dlc for FFA (Crack in Time and All 4 One DLC) is still not availible for NA even though it has been showing in FFA store for months already, they were awful on giving us information about Deadlocked HD when Gladiator (Deadlocked for EU) wasn't released for a long time, they haven't done anything about that PS3/Vita link trophies list (Though I can be ok with this since they are still working to see if there will be a vita port), and they still haven't said a word about Before the Nexus app ever since they announced it EXCEPT this, "Download Ratchet & Clank: Before the Nexus from the App Store and Google Play when it becomes available in late November 2013," (http://ae.playstation.com/psn/news/articles/detail/item659841/Top-Tips-Ratchet-Clank-NEXUS/) which we still haven't got it yet.2013-12-14 23:41:00
