Det aller første Ratchet & Clank-spillet skal skapes på nytt til Playstation 4, og grunnen er enkel. Da utviklerne fikk i oppgave å lage et spill som passet overrens med Ratchet & Clank-filmen, ga det nemlig mest mening å gjenskape originalen. Hvorfor? Fordi kinofilmen også er en opprinnelseshistorie for radarparet:
- From the beginning when the opportunity arose [to make a companion game for the feature film] we knew it was really special. The movie tells Ratchet and Clank's origin story so what we thought made the most sense was to sort of re-imagine the Playstation 2 classic. And really what we envisioned was this curated experience that it borrowed what was really special about the Playstation 2 games, but then it added some of the best elements of the Playstation 3 Future titles, kommenterer Shaun McCabe fra Insomniac Games.
Vi kan med andre ord forvente en blanding av gammelt og nytt:
- And as things tend to go, at Insomniac at least, the game grew a lot over time and we ended up adding new segments, new story content, new weapons, weapon upgrade systems, there's new ship flying segments. There's so much new stuff that it really felt like a new game, utdyper McCabe.
Slippdatoen for spillet er ikke satt ennå, og det samme gjelder den europeiske premieren for kinofilmen. I USA ankommer den imidlertid lerretet den 29. april 2016, så vi tipper det blir en vårfilm også her til lands.
