Crate Expectations
A trailer for the re-imagining-cum-remake of Rachet and Clank has just been released into the wild. According to the trailer, we're looking at footage of a game based on a movie, which is, in turn, based on a game. Phew.
As you can see, the game is looking luvverly, sporting some sumptuous character models and glittering vistas. In fact, it's warm, cartoony look could almost pass for a CGI feature film. Speaking of CGI films, the game will release alongside the Ratchet and Clank movie coming to cinemas next year.
Although it started life as a remake of the original 2002 Ratchet and Clank game, this re-imagined version of the duo's debut adventure will feature plenty of new bells and whistles. From the trailer alone, I spotted several new gameplay sections as well as a handful of new tools of destruction, including The Pixelizer, a weapon that turns foes into miserable piles of pixels.
Insomiac's community chief James Stevenson also gave us some insight into the game via the Playsation blog, revealing that while the new Ratchet and Clank may have started out as a simple remake it quickly grew in scope and took on an identity all its own.
"We ended up with a new game, with elements based on the original - but now with modern controls, several new planets, new and updated gameplay segments, all-new Clank gameplay, all new boss fights, new flight sequences, and more, all constructed to take advantage of the PS4's graphical prowess," said Stevenson.
Aside from the trailer, another video showcasing eight-minutes of gameplay was also released. Check it out below.
