Pure PlayStation: Who’s up for a freebie? We’re guessing just about everyone. Good news, then, as you can download a couple of Ratchet and Clank games from the PSN.
20th Anniversary Armor Pack arrives today for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart; more games coming to PlayStation Plus Premium November 15.
Man... what i wouldnt give to have a full PS5 UHD of all the R&C games in one collection. i guess streaming them on PS+ is the next best thing (or naturally a PS3)
They couldn’t make PS2 versions of those R&C games like they did with the J&D games?
Kobra
What fan that waited for launch day needs to know? There were 4 ps2 games the rest starting with tools was ps3 only. Quest for booty, a crack in time, nexus, full frontal assault were ps3 games.
You really saying Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal and Ratchet: Deadlocked weren’t on PS2? 🤨
Even Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank had PS2 versions...
Of course I wasn't talking about the actual ps2 games...why would they need to make ps2 versions of ps2 games? That is why I only included the ps3 games in my comment.
@ no
You must’ve misunderstood what I asked for.
I’m saying they should’ve made PS2 Classic versions of these Ratchet & Clank titles on PS4 so they’d be downloadable just like Jak & Daxter had rather than just streaming the PS3 versions
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is amazing. I really hope Insomniac are working on more. I'm always up for another Ratchet & Clank game.
Ratchet and Clank servers will be discontinued as of February 15, 2018. The multiplayer and online features will be unavailable after this date.
You think this hurts? Guess what, Online only games are going to meet the same fate.
Read insomniac and R&C though they were announcing ps4 Going Commando in November .
Honestly would be disappointed if they did that, going commando is my fav ratchet game but I’d prefer a sequel to into the nexus. TNhe remaster trilogy is almost always on sale on ps3 , you can play all the old games at 60fps

Barely anyone played r&c online 10 years ago, I say that's a long time to keep it open compared to games like socom that had 40-100k during peak hours and the servers were shut down after a few years. When I did play these online it seemed only a hundred or so were logged on.
Edit: NVM I'm thinking of the PS2 titles. When did ps3 r&c's have online play? Did the PS3 hd collection have it?
I've made $84,000 so far this year working online and I'm a full time student. I’m using an online business opportunity I heard about and I've made such great money. It's really user friendly and I'm just so happy that I found out about it. The potential with this is endless. Here’s what I do>>> http://www.BizPost7.com
I don't want to be that guy, because, I want a Socom 2 remake or even H-Hour at this point, but Socom never had 100k on at a time. The most I ever seen was around 63k mark.
There was a point where Socom 2 had more players than all of XBL on the OG Xbox.
Well then you were late to the game. Socom 2 definitely had those numbers around launch. I'm combining "universes", not talking just NA region when you first sign in to see the servers
As for Marines comment below I believe he's referring to game hours, did a quick search and found this:
https://www.google.com/amp/...
They are talking about player hours not total people online. This was also before Halo 2 came out. I have no idea what people played online on the Xbox before Halo 2.
I may not have been combining the player base. I thought that number told you about everyone online. I would see around 50k to 60k during peak time and during peak Socom 2 days. When Halo 2 came out, they would see 100k to 150k people on.
I just don't get why they wouldn't include other countries in that number with Socom 2, I played with people all over the world so it is just weird to NOT show them in that number.
I wasn't aware the online was functional on the ps3 versions either lol. I owned the ps3 collection but only played the first game on it. I got the vita collection and on that one the online doesn't work at all. I platinumed the first 2 and wanted to play the online on the third before going to platinum it and sadly couldn't
Is it me, or does it seem like a lot, and I mean A LOT of PS3 games are shutting down it's servers??? I mean, yeah, no game last forever, but we are only talking one generation ago...whats the deal?
It's not just you. And it's to be expected more and more considering PS3's PSN was & is free. Even if the player count is underwhelming years later I'm confident 1st-party PS4 online capabilities will be longer-lasting (though there will still be exceptions).
All the PS3s out there didn't stop working once the PS4 was out. There are no longer that many people playing it online' that's why they are shutting it down. R&C was never a big online IP anyway
But why would people still have a PS3 set up when they buy a new system? Most people sell the older ones anyway.
@VideoGameLab
"most people"? Do you have a statistics for that claim? Or else you are just guessing
Most people sell their systems, and their games. If they care about playing the games, then they keep the systems.
Okey, not most people. Its about everybody. At the beginning of a gen people tend to sell the old stuff to buy the new one. Digital Games cant be sold and are stuck with your account. Thats why BC is the best option. Also playing OG Xbox and 360 games with the Elite controller is probably the best thing ever. Thats why I keep emulating my PS1 games (even though I own about 600) instead of playing them on the console, I can use my new controllers.
All games that have an online component will eventually have their servers shut down. At least if you have a game that has a campaign and an online component you will still be able to play the campaign, however, if the game has online only then effectively all you are left with is coaster and/or wasted space on your console or PC.
"All games that have an online component will eventually have their servers shut down"
Not all but many of them yes. But as we see with PS3 its way faster than Xbox 360 games get shut down. Little Big Planet, GT, Resistance and MLB are just a few Sony IPs that got shut down way before they should have been.
PS3 Attitude: "In the days of the PS2, if you asked me what my favourite videogame series was, I almost certainly would have said Ratchet & Clank. It’s somewhat depressing then, that the last couple of R&C games seemed hell-bent on destroying everything that was good about the series. This is one disillusioned fan’s take on the revered rise and unfortunate fall of Ratchet & Clank."
interesting article, especially to see the metacritic score in a graph like that lol
The rise and fall of Insomniac is what the article writer should talk about. A Crack in Time showed that the series has a lot of life in it still and they are capable of making quality Ratchet games, but they no longer want to put the effort into making another one. They'd rather create as many games as they can as a studio instead of putting that power into a quality game, Insomniac has lost their way
agreed. ACIT was the best since going commando then for some reason it was just a quick downward spiral from there
sad too because it was one of my fav franchises ever ( obviously )
I love R&C series but i'm sad about the direction IG took the series after Crack in Time. The last two episodes really suck i will be so happy if Ted Price steps on stage on monday and announce a brand new episode..
The best R&C games for me are Tools of Destruction and Crack in Time
I loved R&C back on PS2...it started ok with TOD on PS3 then QFB was a bit of a joke...they got it back up with ACIT and since then it's gone to shit
I liked QFB and even All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault that strayed from their usual direction but were lots of fun nonetheless. The only one I didn't like was Size Matters on PSP. It felt it was meant for super casual gamers.
If they would just continue making actual entries in the series instead of these lame spinoffs or downloadable titles they keep throwing out to milk the franchise then that graph would probably be a lot more consistent. Lets just hope they eat their words and don't make a FUSE 2.
im scared for insomniac,the last good ratchet game was a crack in time and every game before it was good too,but all4one,and full frontal assault are jokes and fues doesnt look like a good game either,theyve really fell off and i would hate to see that since i started with them all the way back with spyro on ps1.
They need to get back with Sony...Get their shit together and start working on a proper R&C game for the PS4
What are the games?
Could you just put Brazilian PSN in the title since that's what it is for.
Can you create a free PSN account and get these?
It doesn't work anymore on the NA psn, but... I created a brasilian account and downloaded it without a problem. I has the full frontal assault demo with activation and Deadlocked... Sooo yeah just get the new account and download to your hearts content :v
