In June of 2015, the company confirmed that when it does release, the new Ratchet & Clank is set to run at 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second. Community lead James Stevenson spoke about why it was so important for the developers to have this level of resolution. Despite the fact that the release date was pushed to the next year, Insomniac and Sony did offer a playable demo at E3 2015. It’s possible the pushback to 2016 could only be a matter of months with that in mind. The company had always simply said it was coming at some point in 2015.

Insomniac was quick to point out, on their social media channels that they never actually said the game was slated for a first quarter release in 2015.

There were some who became outraged at this decision because they were expecting the game in the first quarter of 2015. This game was originally slated to be released during 2015 but Sony decided to bump its launch back in order to better tie the title into the upcoming Ratchet & Clank movie. Fixman was a writer on the original game. TJ Fixman announced on his Twitter account that he is writing the story for the game. Ratchet & Clank for the PS4 is the first game since Fuse he’s been credited as working on for Insomniac Games. Michael Bross has confirmed that, while he is not working on the Ratchet & Clank Movie, he is recording music and the score for the PS4 game. Outside of those more lighthearted games, he’s also worked on Fuse, a first person shooter that was released in 2013 as well as Resistance: Fall of Man. That includes long time design director Brian Allgeier. Allgeier is one of those video game developers that came up during the golden age of the PlayStation and worked on a number of titles that feature characters that are much loved in the Sony universe.Īmong the games Allgeier is best known for working on is Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, Spyro 3: Year of the Drago, the original Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Ratchet: Deadlocked, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, and Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time. In order to do the game justice, it is said that developers of the first game are actually working on this version. This new Ratchet & Clank was officially announced during Sony’s E3 press conference in 2014.
