In the PS4 game Captain Qwark narrates the story, expanding on events from the movie.
This new game humorously features the tagline, “The Game, Based on the Movie, Based on the Game.” The movie is a new origins story of how Ratchet and Clank first met, taking on Chairman Drek along with other bad guys introduced in later releases like Dr. The PS4 version features much improved graphics over the original, almost looking like the film set to release April 29, 2016, which is based on the first Ratchet & Clank game that released in November 2002. The game will cost $39.99 when it launches in spring 2016 as a retail release and digital download. This isn’t just a straight high-definition remake but an all-new game retelling the origins of the series that ties into the upcoming movie.
Ratchet & Clank on PlayStation 4 is a re-imagining of the original PlayStation 2 classic. The patch will roll out some time in April.Ratchet and Clank are looking better than ever. Monday’s announcement didn’t say if the update for the 2016 game would involve two options for the user or if it would be a single resolution and frame rate going forward. The next game in the Ratchet & Clank series, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, will feature a 4K resolution, 30 fps “resolution” mode, as well as a “performance” mode offering a lower resolution at 60 fps. It’s available to anyone with a (free) PlayStation Network account PlayStation Plus or any other subscription is not needed. Ratchet & Clank was made free at the beginning of the month as Sony Interactive Entertainment brought back its Play at Home Initiative, to support sheltering, safety, and social distancing efforts during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Ratchet & Clank is currently available for everyone to download, for free, until Wednesday, March 31. Ratchet & Clank, Insomniac’s 2016 series reboot for PlayStation 4, will be patched on PlayStation 5 to run at 60 frames per second, the studio said Monday.
