Ratchet And Clank Game and Film Delayed Until 2016

Sony has announced that John Goodman, Sylvester Stalone, Bella Thorne, & others have joined the cast of the Ratchet & Clank movie

The Ratchet And Clank remake we were promised at last year’s E3 for the PS4 won’t be coming this year. Developer Insomniac Games confirmed the release has been pushed back to next year on the official Playstation blog. The Ratchet And Clank animated movie, also promised for this year, has been delayed along with the game until 2016.

“While you might have to wait a bit longer than expected, rest assured we’re using the time wisely to further polish the game to a spit-shine level, with dazzling shader response, awe-inspiring effects, velvety smooth animations, and spectacular new gameplay segments. Really, we can’t wait to show it to you,” said Insomniac’s chief brand officer, Ryan Schneider.

So it’s more waiting. For the world of games it’s been a year full of delays, with titles like The Legend Of Zelda and Uncharted 4, to name a few, being pushed back far later than their original dates. The positive to take away from this is that it might mean triple-A developers are learning from their mistakes. And by mistakes, I mean the plethora of broken, unfinished games that went on sale last year. Nobody likes delays, but they’re a lot better than spending $60 on a game that barely works.

And it certainly sounds like a lot of care is going into the Ratchet And Clank reboot. From what we know, it’s intended to be released alongside the movie. The movie will be an adaptation of the original Ratchet And Clank game from thirteen years ago, while the game “re-tells the origin story that ties in closely and expands upon the movie’s narrative. It also features several new levels along with reimagined classic locales like Metropolis, brand new weapons and completely redone visuals made possible by the power of the PlayStation 4.”

The movie’s cast was also released, and it’s full of big stars. Insomniac have also promised the main characters Ratchet, Clank, Nefarious and Captain Qwark will be voiced by the same actors as the games.

Rhiannon likes video games and she likes writing, so she decided to combine them. As well as writing about video games, she also belts out the occasional science fiction or fantasy story, edits videos, and eats strawberry oreos. In that order.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns Dev Latest Tech Layoffs

Firaxis, the strategy game studio behind XCOM (the reboots) and Civilization, laid off employees. According to Axios, 30 Take-Two Interactive-owned and 2K Games-published employees were laid off.

After a streak of hits (XCOM 2, Civ 6), the studio’s most recent release, the XCOM-inspired, card-powered Marvel’s Midnight Suns, was a critical hit but a commercial disaster.

The Marvel IP didn’t attract core gamers to strategic games. This is unfortunate because local critics virtually all agree Midnight Suns is great and made by a renowned company. How could it be anything else when directed by Jake Solomon, the most imaginative strategic mind among Sid “The Father of Computer Gaming” Meir’s personally mentored acolytes and true successor to a legacy as old as the medium?

Metal Gear Delta: Snake Eater will reuse the original voice lines, which isn’t surprising as the original voice cast is returning.

Tommy Williams, Konami America’s chief of communications, verified the story for the Verge. We’re sure David Hayter has the most work, but reuniting the gang wasn’t simple.

He also confirmed that the title triangle is pronounced “delta.” In mathematics, the fourth letter of the ancient Greek alphabet represents change without modifying structure.

Kojima wasn’t involved with the project. Do you like this tribute? Do you prefer modern script or antique lines?

Indie games are sold through Devolver Digital, the industry’s most colorful and eccentric publisher. Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest will host a fresh showcase on June 8 at 3 p.m. PT or 11 p.m. BST. Devolver Digital’s odd metanarrative format will make things unpleasant.

If you’re unfamiliar, we recommend going alone. Games will exist—likely well-curated ones. Last year’s screening introduced us to the adorable Aussie indie Cult of the Lamb, which became a cult smash.

Will you stream Devolver? Expect what?
