I've been an xbox player for the last 7-8 years, but recently I saw a PS2 in my local CEX, I decided to get it to play this series again, as it was a fond childhood memory. However I was scared that the game may seem dated. So far I've only actually starting playing number 1 (I did only get them yesterday!) but it has been an absolute blast. My fears about the game being out of date were unfounded, the graphics were surprisingly good for a game this old and the gameplay is still very entertaining.
The thing that got me about this collection was the amount of glitches. Audio glitches, cutscenes ending and only loading a black screen where you can still move around but you can't see what's happening, and the quick select wheel getting stuck and not closing despite gameplay continuing were frequent enough to annoy me. The original games are great, but this port and HD re-release was poorly handled (in my experience anyway). But I agree, an 8.5 with no complaints is ridiculous.
fran jaff were you playing on Ps Vita? I've heard the Vita ports aren't the best but I have yet to try them. On PS3 I've spent a lot of time with all 3 games and have all the platinum trophies to show for it. I don't recall encountering any glitches/bugs on PS3.
when my parents first bought me a slim model when they came out, the games they would come with was R&C3 and Grand turismo, I had never bought a ratchet and clank game in my life, and up your arsenal was my first ever played on Play station. I Fell in love with it, and after realising and being like "Wow, if this is so good I can't wait to play going commando and the first one" Played the others and didn't get the same effect with "Up your arsenal" But holy crap it was the best. Usually when people make a game series, it starts off good and slowly degrades, although with Ratchet and Clank I just found that the viewings and scores inclined rather than decline and it just kept getting better! I will always remember this is my favourite child hood game.
Same, my parents bought me the ps2 slim model when it first came out and it came with 3 games: Ratchet & Clank 3, Gran Turismo and Lego Starwars. I loved R&C 3 so I bought R&C 2 and the original one later on
i love r&c in general. in literally all of the games and especially in terms of weaponry. 3 just nails it perfectly. visually, in terms of sound and gameplay. just practically perfect.
The third game was probably my favorite, followed by Crack of Time. Up Your Arsenal was just such an incredible game with one of the better villains, before Dr. Nefarious became an overused character (the fact he appeared far and few between and was not present since the third game justified it), and was even better than some of the Future games like Tools of Destruction.
Mitch9894 he didnt directly say anything negative about the games, but he did say that "the jump between 1 and 2" were bigger because the controls have been more polished. Which means he thinks the first game didnt control all that well, which is true as it doesnt have a locked strafe like the rest of the ratchet and clank games have
Got this for 19 bucks at a local game shop. Brings back so many memories of all three games. Up Your Arsenal is hands down one of my favorite games of all time. Even if there was a few bugs and glitches in the HD collection, I don't think hardcore fans like me will notice at all.
The PlayStation 2 was a phenomenal console, and it's easy to see why it's still the best selling. But the PS3 was technically superior, and seeing one of my favourite PS2 games remastered in HD is such a delight. Crisp, clean graphics, a higher frame rate, increased resolution, but still retains the nostalgic charm. This was a must own for every PS3 owner
This collection deserves a 9/10. Three fantastic games from the PS2 era that was one of the unofficial mascots of the ps2 console now remaster to glorious 1080p, 60fps on PS3. Despite graphical bugs, this remaster is still worth your money.
Whoa whoa whoa, only an 8.5!!!??? This thing deserves a 10 for taking my childhood and not to mention some of the greatest games give them a beautiful makeover and putting it on one disk for my favorite game system.
I just bought this and I am a little bugged by how some little details are messed up. Some textures are actually gone, and ratchet's helmet is too big for his head now. Its weird. I think the port isnt perfect perfect, but still a great thing to have on ps3
Personally, the three Ratchet & Clank games are 10/10 material. The HD collection however? 7.5/10. The porting job could've been a lot better. No sound in local multiplayer? Real nice, it's almost as if they never tested the thing before releasing it.
How come whenever I see gameplay of Ratchet 2 and 3 his helmet is like floating on his head with his leather cap from Ratchet 1 underneath? In the version I had, his helmet was actually down on his head and it looked better.
(Part 3)- Jak has the power of Light & Dark at his disposal. He can freeze time, has a shield, can fly & regenerate health. All of this whenever he wants. When you look at those 4 powers alone, that almost makes you indestructible right there. Now with his Dark powers. He has Complete Invisibility, a dark ball projectile move that slows down time if your around it, & offensive/defensive/attack move that wipes out anything in the area & a super spinning aerial charge move that wipes out Everythg.
My childhood right there. My favorite games were two and three. Challenge mode completed more than 20 times. Never had that kind of feeling with any other game
This port was actually pretty shitty. Graphical glitches that got worse with each game. Going Commando skipped cutscenes, Up Your Arsenal had the sound FX of the ship all mixed up during the planet travel. Ratchet's helmet doesn't fit properly, and his eyeballs go inside his head and in some cutscenes you can see characters just awkwardly standing at the side (which is pretty funny tbh). And then don't even get me started on Deadlocked/Gladiator... So broke! I love this series but looking at the Jak and Sly collection, it pisses me off that they couldn't do a nice and smooth conversion for Ratchet and Clank. Screw you Idolminds.
@@alvexas5510 I have the digital copies of all 4 of them and had the same issues. It's the same game regardless of the distribution. Gladiator/Deadlocked is the worst offender though. All the cutscenes are straight up broken.
Mostly in the third one. Ratchet's helmet is way to big, the Shock cannon charge-up beam isn't even visible, Big Al has a bunch of holes inside his body, lots of sounds during the boss fights are changed, the quick select does not even stop time sometimes and there is no setting to change it, Galactic rangers and the turret fire a triple shot, most of the dropships are purple AND the Rynocirator is making a weird sound. This is just in up your arsenal.
With the items in the shop being too small I'm assuming that's the same problem they've had with the cut-scenes. These items are pre-rendered at the PS2 resolution and up-scaling them to 1080p causes the images to looks warped, so they left them at the original resolution (making them look smaller).
Guys, IGN has absolutely NO IDEA on how to rate games. You could find a crappier series on the Xbox that will have a better rating because all IGN cars about is that pile of trash.
the trilogy should have got at least 9.5 it was jyst the most amazing games ever made for playstation,i prefer playing,ratchet and clank up your arsenal than gta v
DJ Boomstick Just said this in another thread R&C got better as they went along, while with sly and jak, the first games were the best and went downhill from there, thats what makes R&C better
FancyKilerWales I personally thought Sly was also a series that got better as it went along. Can't say anything about the 4th game as I haven't played it but I loved how that series progressed.
It comes out in the EU by the end of the month or so. In America, we have no specific date but it should be out by September or October. And there's no word on Deadlocked other then the fact that it was teased in a Japanese trailer for this. It should be a PSN release sometime after the release.
SuperMinerMage agreed about going commando being the best of them but I also really liked the first game. it was a classic in it's own right but the weapons in going commando were just much better.
i feel like it didnt blend platforming, exploration and gunplay well. I respect your opinion, and the Ratchet and Clank fanbase is mostly tied between GC, UYA, and CIT, but i found GC to just be the more enjoyable game.
Never specified when though. Either way, there wasnt any evidence pointing to a Jak and Dax return until after both TLOU's announcement and the news ofthe attempted reboot. And J&D have been shelved, not cancelled.
+KavatarGaming Also, considering IGN gave the original R&C a score of 9.2, this 8.5 rating for three (Not just one.) _updated_ R&C games makes even less sense.
it's not that the games on it are bad, but there are some problems i personally have with the collection itself, first of all it's not actual 1080p, also the trophy pictures are ripped from all 4 one, the cover picture is from tools of destruction, a crack in time and all 4 one, the menu has a picture of all 4 one too, and it's also full of glitches: oversized helmet, not pausing when using quick select, screwed up models, camera problems, and turning invisible, all common cases
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Crackdown 1&2, Dead or Alive, Dead Rising, DBZ, Fable 2&3, Lost Odyssey, Perfect Dark, MotoGP, Nintey Nine Nights, Project Gotham Racing, Ridge Racer, Saints Row, Too Human, Viva Piniata, Tales of Vesperia; theres some i cant think of and those i dont want to include such as Dance Revolution. As you say theres also some decent indies.
Part 2- Jak II HD 2nd glitch was the ending credits song to the credits didnt play in the HD coll. So missing a little soundtrack from the credits isnt that bad. As you can see nothing was messed up gameplay audio wise and gameplay wise which is important to the gamer. Jak 3 was um, Jak 3 didnt have any actually.. But I missed out 1 more bug which is 3rd. In Jak games its known that you can puse the cutscenes however in the HD Coll you can but if paused for to long it will skip the rest
even if there are a couple of technical issues i don't think thats worth demoting 3 AMAZING games for a cheap price tag in full HD to a 8.5 in my opinion
I was talking about 3, there is a slim chance that in your R&C 3 HD game it won't pause when in quick select, and you're stuck with it for the rest of the game.
(Part 5) Then we have the Gyro Buster which is a super fast unavoidable skin piercing barrage of yellow eco fire shots. Then is the Plasmite RPG, its a mini grenade launcher with the power of an RPG, which is why the name of it is actually RPG instead of grenade launcher. Now those were the deadly weapons. His other weapons are amazing to but I dont want to end up having over 10 parts.
Agreed. Drek was the hardest boss to me in the first 3 games. Only thing that's bad with the HD Trilogy is the amount of glitches you can encounter in them, especially in my case for Going Commando which was the glitchiest.
if you want to replay them, remembering all the good times like the excitement you got when you get new weapons to the sleuthing feel of finding secrets, then by all means get this.
Technically they were going to make a Jak reboot, rather than Jak 4 but yeah, I heard about the two teams. It'll be good to see what they get up to next.
To be fair though, it was all assumption. ND never announced plans to return to J&D after Uncharted and as you are often keen to point out they had said they were a one francise-per-console company. Personally, I thought we'd see an Uncharted racing game. What with ND's track record. But I guess TLOU is the alternative since an Uncharted racing game would be pretty silly.
It was not assumption... ND did announced plans to return to it. To be precise Evan Wells said it. And Sony is responsible for why they aren't a 1 system per franchise anymore. They are no longer a 1 game series per franchise company. With J&D being canceled and TLOU becoming out that proves my point.
I have fond memories of Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, and I've been wanting to revisit those Ratchet and Clank memories ever since my PS2 broke, so I've gotta get this collection.
Sure, but did you pay attention at R&C3? That was full with it, the ape Quark, Robo skid, Secret agent Clank, Dr Nefarious and Lawrance, Dr Nefarious's idols tape, Courtney Gears, Klunk, Quark's funeral etc.
No this is how it was. The 2nd team was finishing up UC3 while team 1 started Jak 4, so as time went on the 2nd team finished UC3 and the 1st team decided you know what ok we cant do it scrapped... so then evan wells stated ok with UC3 done we will now see if *team 2* could work on it...
Part 2- To be completely honest J&D HD Collection actually came out better then R&C Collection. I heard that the R&C collection had more glitches then the PS2 did and that the audio of gameplay has ether changed or not upgraded to HD. Then I heard somethings in the HD Coll actually changed from the ps2 collection. The ppl who remastered J&D didnt changed anything about J&D but the R&C ones did. Also it was stated on an article that the HD collection was published 2months ahead of time...
I wonder if you still have the Jak and Daxter trilogy and Ratchet and Clank trilogy on the Ps4. I know you have to have PS+ but still. Would be fun to still have the games there. One of the best games in my opinion. So many good memories lol
I meant going to places with your space ship, going to completely different and distinct enviroments, first you're on a city in infasion, then a jungle, sewers, snow world, lava world, mini moons, a gigantic disco ball, etc.
i think 2 was hardest. i died many times in R&C 2 final boss. in 1, you can upgrade your health with those drinks and in 2 the amount of damage depends on your armor and what kind of enemy attacks you, so the difference isnt that big. also, in 1, enemy attacks are easier to dodge. and you can upgrade your weapons with gold bolts. although only 1 upgrade. but i do agree with ryno, the only good bolt rewarding minigame is hoverboarding and it doesnt give that much, unlike arena in 2 and 3.
Trust me man. I know the PS2 games of J&D and PS3 versions. Only glitches the games had were not ones as bad as others. I will name you all the new glitches which are not even serious... Jak II, Metal Kor at the end of the game in the cutscene... his face is known to have a different color then normal. However when you go rewatch the scene in secrets its completely fine. So something must have went wrong or deleted in the playthrough sequence that the cutscene was involved in.
Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper and Kingdom Hearts... Basically all my favorite PS2 games are back on PS3 now :) Just waiting on Kingdom Hearts 2.5 now haha.
Never played the original PS2 trilogy and playing the remastered version for the first time right now! Can anyone tell if there’s any difference between the two versions besides graphics and controls improvements?
This brings back so many old memories. Ratchet and clank 2 was my first PS2 game. It was so fun that I have completed it about 10-20 times. I've also played almost all the other games of this series. I wish they included Ratchet: Gladiator also on the disc. Thumbs up if you love RaC. :)
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW: The third game on the collection DOES have offline multiplayer! I say this because the box lies and say it only has online multiplayer. You are able to play with friends offline just like the good old days. Enjoy.
I own the trilogy, bought if of the ps store. I played the first one 10yrs ago and i can't believe how good they feel how good they look the gameplay is still amazing for old games if it was me reviewing these games I would give this collection a 9.5/10
this Collection not only gives you one of the best platformers and gunplay ever. but also amazing graphics in 1080P instead of 720P (Sly cooper and Jak and daxter) this will give you 1080P graphics. trophies. 3D support. Online multiplayer mode he did not talk about it becuase the game have not been released in the whole world yet.
Dynamics mean how everything moves, you can widen it to physics if you want to, but it I didn't like how the general game-physics worked. But I'll give it another go when I have nothing better to play :)
Deserves 11/10. Greatest game series ever.
nice one xD
Agreed
I like the music
Yessss
Facts, Ratchet & Clank was my childhood. So many amazing memories
What about the music?!?? The music was one of the best paaaarts
Nothing negative at all
Gives it an 8.5
Ikr. He could've at least given it a 9
#ReviewerLogic lol
+James Dryden i''d give it 10
***** it's IGN. They know it's not COD or GTA
+crashpal Same. The best game I've ever played. I just got the new one (it just released here in Australia) and it is very nostalgic. I love it.

3 amazing games that are at least a 9/10 each.... put them all together, what do you get? 8.5... no logic behind this
The thing that got me about this collection was the amount of glitches. Audio glitches, cutscenes ending and only loading a black screen where you can still move around but you can't see what's happening, and the quick select wheel getting stuck and not closing despite gameplay continuing were frequent enough to annoy me. The original games are great, but this port and HD re-release was poorly handled (in my experience anyway). But I agree, an 8.5 with no complaints is ridiculous.
fran jaff were you playing on Ps Vita? I've heard the Vita ports aren't the best but I have yet to try them. On PS3 I've spent a lot of time with all 3 games and have all the platinum trophies to show for it. I don't recall encountering any glitches/bugs on PS3.
Justin Hochman PS3 version. It was the digital version, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
fran jaff Might have. I had the physical copy.
I think they just have random number generators at ign
The PS4 reboot made me want to back and play the entire series again!
+Jonathan Gouveia dos Santos Literally going to get a PS3 today to replay all the RnC games again.
The PS4 reboot made me want to kill myself because of how terrible it was compared to the originals/Future trilogy
Such an amazing reboot. Was truly beautiful
[Frostz I loved the PS4 reboot
Same here
first game was great, so was the second but the third game is one of the best games of all time
The Third one was the best game ever
No way. Second game is T H E best Ratchet & Clank game there is.
3rd game was a bit too linear
Third is the most boring lmao
the second game is the best, the third one feels very rushed

the ps2 version you showed was obviously a broken copy. It runs just as well as the hd collection on ps3.
lol IKR. Watching the animations jitter like that made me think of NES games. It runs just fine, just blurrier that's all.
@@MrNiceguy3210 Blurrier because ps2 uses interlaced resolutions.
He never mentioned anything bad so why did he give 8.5?

This trilogy was not the best remaster, the game themselves are incredible, but there are so many technical issues with this collection.
Agreed! But you could actually upgrade the weapons with your golden bolts. If you completed the game and if youre playing in challenge mode.
You didn't mention about the online mode.
You can play the games as soon as you insert the disc in the PS3, no install needed
So everyone is gonna sit here and ignore the fact that they messed up on his helmet in Going Commando
R&C1: 7
R&C2: 10
R&C3: 9

WTF is Locked & Loaded?
You talk about the same thing like 2-3 times throughout the review, wtf IGN?
Best childhood game nonetheless.
no originally the ps2 version of 'Up Your Aresenal' had multiplayer. So in this collection, when playing UYA, you can play in online matches
I don't understand IGN's scoring system.
+Draycko why? its opinion based
+KavatarGaming In this video nothing bad was said about the game (Games?), so that 8.5 rating doesn't really make sense to me.
+KavatarGaming
Also, considering IGN gave the original R&C a score of 9.2, this 8.5 rating for three (Not just one.) _updated_ R&C games makes even less sense.
***** True fair enough I think if they give a game an 8.5 something should be under cons

PS2 games look bad on HDTVs, what a bad advice.
@@ArabianFreedom No they don't.
yeah, but only in the last game. However it was upgraded from split screen only to up to 8 people online!
lololol Jak and daxter got 9.0
Cant simply express the love i had for this game, looks like its going to start again :)
love ratchet but this is THE WORST PORT I HAVE EVER SEEN seriously idol minds did terrible, should have gave the job to sanzaru games.
Part 2- Jak II HD 2nd glitch was the ending credits song to the credits didnt play in the HD coll. So missing a little soundtrack from the credits isnt that bad. As you can see nothing was messed up gameplay audio wise and gameplay wise which is important to the gamer. Jak 3 was um, Jak 3 didnt have any actually.. But I missed out 1 more bug which is 3rd. In Jak games its known that you can puse the cutscenes however in the HD Coll you can but if paused for to long it will skip the rest
Low difficulty of the first one? Lol okay then.
I heard the first one was pretty hard! Lol
+Alex Townley first one is by far the hardest of the lot because there is no checkpoints and auto aim is awful!
***** For real!! -_-
Not to mention that you can't upgrade weapons or health to great amounts like in the sequels.
Also the third game does not look the best lmao; the first one steals the show in atmosphere.
even if there are a couple of technical issues i don't think thats worth demoting 3 AMAZING games for a cheap price tag in full HD to a 8.5 in my opinion
I was talking about 3, there is a slim chance that in your R&C 3 HD game it won't pause when in quick select, and you're stuck with it for the rest of the game.
Sold. That comparison shot is all I needed to know. I really cbf digging out the old ps2 anyhow.
(Part 5) Then we have the Gyro Buster which is a super fast unavoidable skin piercing barrage of yellow eco fire shots. Then is the Plasmite RPG, its a mini grenade launcher with the power of an RPG, which is why the name of it is actually RPG instead of grenade launcher. Now those were the deadly weapons. His other weapons are amazing to but I dont want to end up having over 10 parts.
Why did he give it an 8.5 if he gave it no negative points? Seems odd to me.
I remember "Emperor Tachyon is an equal opportunity oppressor." One of my favorite lines in the series.
Agreed. Drek was the hardest boss to me in the first 3 games. Only thing that's bad with the HD Trilogy is the amount of glitches you can encounter in them, especially in my case for Going Commando which was the glitchiest.
if you want to replay them, remembering all the good times like the excitement you got when you get new weapons to the sleuthing feel of finding secrets, then by all means get this.
Technically they were going to make a Jak reboot, rather than Jak 4 but yeah, I heard about the two teams. It'll be good to see what they get up to next.
Same here! I loved how many weapons Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando/Locked and Loaded had!
To be fair though, it was all assumption. ND never announced plans to return to J&D after Uncharted and as you are often keen to point out they had said they were a one francise-per-console company.
Personally, I thought we'd see an Uncharted racing game. What with ND's track record. But I guess TLOU is the alternative since an Uncharted racing game would be pretty silly.
It was not assumption... ND did announced plans to return to it. To be precise Evan Wells said it. And Sony is responsible for why they aren't a 1 system per franchise anymore. They are no longer a 1 game series per franchise company. With J&D being canceled and TLOU becoming out that proves my point.
I have fond memories of Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, and I've been wanting to revisit those Ratchet and Clank memories ever since my PS2 broke, so I've gotta get this collection.
Sure, but did you pay attention at R&C3? That was full with it, the ape Quark, Robo skid, Secret agent Clank, Dr Nefarious and Lawrance, Dr Nefarious's idols tape, Courtney Gears, Klunk, Quark's funeral etc.
I am not sure when, but it will be released as a download on PSN. Probably this year I would assume. I hope this helps.
No this is how it was. The 2nd team was finishing up UC3 while team 1 started Jak 4, so as time went on the 2nd team finished UC3 and the 1st team decided you know what ok we cant do it scrapped... so then evan wells stated ok with UC3 done we will now see if *team 2* could work on it...
Thanks. Any reason why they had to change the subtitle?
First Sly Cooper, then Jak & daxter and now THIS!!
Man, it's my childhood all over again :')
For anyone wondering why it only got an 8.5... it's the helmet glitch. Just the helmet glitch.
Stuff the helmet glitch.
Part 2- To be completely honest J&D HD Collection actually came out better then R&C Collection. I heard that the R&C collection had more glitches then the PS2 did and that the audio of gameplay has ether changed or not upgraded to HD. Then I heard somethings in the HD Coll actually changed from the ps2 collection. The ppl who remastered J&D didnt changed anything about J&D but the R&C ones did. Also it was stated on an article that the HD collection was published 2months ahead of time...
I wonder if you still have the Jak and Daxter trilogy and Ratchet and Clank trilogy on the Ps4. I know you have to have PS+ but still. Would be fun to still have the games there. One of the best games in my opinion. So many good memories lol
I meant going to places with your space ship, going to completely different and distinct enviroments, first you're on a city in infasion, then a jungle, sewers, snow world, lava world, mini moons, a gigantic disco ball, etc.
i think 2 was hardest. i died many times in R&C 2 final boss. in 1, you can upgrade your health with those drinks and in 2 the amount of damage depends on your armor and what kind of enemy attacks you, so the difference isnt that big. also, in 1, enemy attacks are easier to dodge. and you can upgrade your weapons with gold bolts. although only 1 upgrade. but i do agree with ryno, the only good bolt rewarding minigame is hoverboarding and it doesnt give that much, unlike arena in 2 and 3.
Trust me man. I know the PS2 games of J&D and PS3 versions. Only glitches the games had were not ones as bad as others. I will name you all the new glitches which are not even serious... Jak II, Metal Kor at the end of the game in the cutscene... his face is known to have a different color then normal. However when you go rewatch the scene in secrets its completely fine. So something must have went wrong or deleted in the playthrough sequence that the cutscene was involved in.
The quick select pause wasn't in R&C 1, and I haven't seen that in any of the other games.
Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper and Kingdom Hearts...
Basically all my favorite PS2 games are back on PS3 now :)
Just waiting on Kingdom Hearts 2.5 now haha.
Lmfaoo wtf... Those are mine too that's so weird.. I have kh 1.5, jak collection. And bought ratchet and clank collection a few hours ago lol
I have all even Prince of Persia
Never played the original PS2 trilogy and playing the remastered version for the first time right now! Can anyone tell if there’s any difference between the two versions besides graphics and controls improvements?
There are no differences, the 3 games remain intact in terms of gameplay, dialogues and more. Maybe only the third game that has extra skins
What do you mean by dynamics? Anyways I like everything about the games:Story, plot, characters, dialogue, graphics, gameplay etc.
This brings back so many old memories. Ratchet and clank 2 was my first PS2 game. It was so fun that I have completed it about 10-20 times. I've also played almost all the other games of this series. I wish they included Ratchet: Gladiator also on the disc. Thumbs up if you love RaC. :)
They didn't release a patch for the Miss Ruby boss glitch in the Sly Collection, so I'm not sure if they'll release one for this.
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW:
The third game on the collection DOES have offline multiplayer! I say this because the box lies and say it only has online multiplayer. You are able to play with friends offline just like the good old days. Enjoy.
yes it is but its only going to be downloadable of psn, not a disc release. i have no clue when its going to be released :(
YES thats a great Score for Ratchet and Clank 8.5/10! YEP i got it and it brings back sooooo much MEMORIES! As an Aussie gamer I luv the series!
I own the trilogy, bought if of the ps store. I played the first one 10yrs ago and i can't believe how good they feel how good they look the gameplay is still amazing for old games if it was me reviewing these games I would give this collection a 9.5/10
this Collection not only gives you one of the best platformers and gunplay ever. but also amazing graphics in 1080P instead of 720P (Sly cooper and Jak and daxter) this will give you 1080P graphics. trophies. 3D support. Online multiplayer mode he did not talk about it becuase the game have not been released in the whole world yet.
Insomniac's best, especially with up your arsenal. Such a polished game.
Dynamics mean how everything moves, you can widen it to physics if you want to, but it I didn't like how the general game-physics worked. But I'll give it another go when I have nothing better to play :)
