I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm really hoping the Ratchet & Clank movie does well, at least in terms of being a good movie if not in the box office. The characters and writing were so good in the recent games, but it's really a toss-up as to whether that'll translate well to film. And if they don't have Dr. Nefarious in the film, they'll be doing a serious disservice to the audience.

Torquemadras posted:Pretty certain this will happen. Ever since Tools of Destruction started aping animation movies (they actually had background music in cutscenes for the first time), I feared this would happen. Too bad R&C is not only badly written, but also always had incredibly bland and uninteresting characters, aliens, enemies and whatnot. I'm afraid to start a derail with this, but have we been playing the same games? I mean it's probably a difference in taste, but the way I saw it, everything in that series (the main series at least), from the weapons to the characters to the aliens, had this goofy charm that was always fun as hell. I remember seeing some behind the scenes footage where the developers designed several enemies in A Crack in Time to reflect stereotypical high school cliques, like with the big scaly warrior-race aliens acting like jocks that pushed around the big-headed, nerdy aliens. Stuff like that is why I love the series. Sure the aliens tended to be generic with less depth than one would find in, say, Star Trek. But it was always good light-hearted fun regardless. Hell, I thought A Crack in Time had some pretty decent writing and humor for a video game, especially with the plot surrounding Dr. Nefarious and Azimuth. I mean, I'm not expecting Pixar-level stuff from this movie, but if it's as fun as the games are, then that's fine by me. Plus I the trailer got a laugh out of me, as corny as it was.

I think the last game's return to form wasn't too bad, short as it was. I thought the writing was fine in the PS3 games, especially A Crack in Time. Plus I'm pretty sure the double-entendre naming is still going on? "Full Frontal Assault" and all. Maybe I'm just being too optimistic, but I don't think R&C is as dead as you guys are saying. I dunno. I'm cautiously looking forward to the movie, at least. v  v

I'd agree it's probably an acquired taste. v vIt was really hard to sit through that trailer, though. EDIT: I really hope they decide to redo it in the more cartoony art style because Jesus Cristo it looks bad. A Meatslab fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Jan 31, 2014 |
