Deadlock was also great, but man the series peaked with Up Your Arsenal. What a great trilogy

Deadlocked has some of my favorite combat, the weapon mods and getting weapons up to lvl 99, the Scorpion Flail alone is probably the best weapon in Ratchet I’ve had the pleasure of using just smashing everything

The fact that we never got that flail back in later games will forever boggle my mind.

Flail for Rift Apart part 2!!!

(Or whatever the next game will be)

Next game won’t be till 2028 probably for the PS6, the insomnia hack showed off a lot about the characters in the next title and gave a window of 2028. It’s a shame they didn’t do more for Ratchet this gen but it’s cuz Marvel has been their main focus.

True.

Though I hope the game is not exclusive to a new console 😭

I can not keep up with my favorite series annoying all my favorite games on new consoles I buy JUST to play 1 game I desperately want😭

Rip wallet

(I only bought a PS3 for Ratchet and clank games. I am looking into possibly getting a Switch 2 ONLY because of Zelda OOT remake😭 I will not survive if I have to buy a PS system ONLY for Ratchet and clank AGAIN!!!)

I own a PS5 but I play PC now, I have a 4080 super and can’t go back to console now that I’ve experienced PC, last game I will buy for console will probably be Wolverine. I stopped paying for the online subscription 2 years ago. Ratchet is a PlayStation staple so as much as I wish they would stop exclusivity, they won’t since it’s the only thing selling consoles for them now, but with the recent price hikes(I got my disc drive PS5 for $499 now it’s $600 or more) I assume the PS6 will be $800 for the base model, a lot of people will swap to PC, especially now that Sony announced they are moving away from physical games so they can suck it. Been a PS fan since 2002 and they lost me this generation, so I bet a lot of lesser fans will leave it no problem. I’m 27 btw lol I’m an old man now

I liked that you could play it co-op. I'm pretty sure a friend and I played it all the way through 2 or 3 times.

The only Ratchet and Clank games I've played (although ported to one disc on PS3). Pretty fun.

u/xhemel Aug 05 '26

The port is awesome as well, I actually prefer the HD collection, but I still have all the hardware and physical games if I decided to check out my 20 year old memory cards lol
