Is it possible to remake a game AND keep the soul of the original?

Ratchet and Clank PS4 is good. Its a reimagining of the first game not a remaster. People who cry that it isn't exactly like the first game are retarded. If you hate it that much just play the original. And even if it was a carbon copy of the first game you would still call it soulless because old good new bad.

I played a few levels of it without having played the original. Its not very good.

Yes.
But by nu-devs? No.

>muh "not exactly teh saem!!" argument
Every time.
You know perfectly well that is not the issue. It's the fact that everything the new version does is worse, lazier than in the original.

Why was there such a beef for it anyway? For what was essencially a budget movie tie in it was pretty alright.
I'd understand being pissed if it was $60.

No. Best case scenario, the remake will at least have its own soul. Pic very unrelated.

I didn’t find it too bad, but I think I do prefer the original.

T. Platinumed the game

Are the vita ports any good? Want to play the series but I don't have a ps3 set up anymore.

>just play the original
Expect they quite literally replaced the writing and a lot of character development and instead went the route of toning them down for a younger audience

Just to bring a few points out in difference:
>Clank's backstory is changed and lacks the emotional payoff
>They don't argue anymore but rather get along right away ruining the ending of them sticking together because they understand they're a great team and partners now
>Awful new humor throughout
>Game is considerably easier
>BLOOM BLOOM BLOOM everywhere

Crash did a better job like other anons pointed out

Yea there alright.

Yeah they’re called Super Mario 64 DS, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Crash N Sane trilogy and Shadow of The Colossus Remastered and Halo masterchief collection

>Why was there such a beef for it anyway?
It cut levels, content and characters. That alone makes it a lesser game, but the changes to the tone and writing means it loses a lot of the originals charm. Ratchet is less of a tough guy who talks shit so he doesn't bonce off Clank very well. A lot of that snarky dialogue between them is just gone. Also new OST sucks

It is like Ratchet & Clank 1 lite, you've got a solid base there so it won't be a bad game. But what made it special is lost. Where it could shine is the general improvements made in the sequels but it barely does anything with that.

But it didn't so your point is invalid. It being a glorified movie tie-in is the main reason why people shat on it. We could have still had a few decent threads if it was nothing but a graphical touch up like Spyro and Crash.

>Halo Masterchief Collection
Only if you discount erase 1 and 2 and their fucked up new visuals, especially 1 since it's based on the botched gearbox pc port.

Didn't people endlessly shat on Spyro's new visuals tho.
And I remember a lot of Crash bashing due to the new visuals and fucked jump physics.

>>watered down baby Pixar knockoffs.
Fuck off, zoomer.

Kids LOVE their social medias...

The issue of it, is that it had content cut out so it wouldn't have things that aren't all in the movie. The movie is literally the main reason it's so cut-off at the knees even if I love the guns and gunplay.

Yes, and sometimes they can even be better than the original
Ratchet and Clank definitely isn't though

SUDDENLY EVERYONE IN THE THREAD WAS EATEN BY A BRAIN EATING ZOMBIE T-REX

maybe if he took that fucking shirt and shoes off it would be a good game

It was a neat idea that they quickly stopped putting effort behind it after they finally meet Qwark again.

Its a movie game with the movie already being loosely based on the first games plot with shit tossed in from the other games because they were deemed popular enough to get cameos.
They marketed it as a return to where the series started not a cash grab tie in.

Some faggot british e-celeb said it was bad and of course Yea Forums jumps on the bandwagon and calls the game shit as well. I remember people having no problem with Ratchet PS4 when the game launched.

Just when I forgot about that shit

One of my number one gripes is how they made what is a clearly inferior game time-relatively, and then had the balls to throw in dialogue lines about critics not knowing what they're talking about. It shows an air of arrogance over a mediocre product that is at best, a slight reimagining within a more formulaic ideology. If I added a third handle to a plastic bag and said "NOW THE HATERS ARE JUST GONNA SAY STUPID SHIT", you'd be contemptuous towards me as well, I hope.

Dark souls didnt do it

What? I'm pretty sure the joke was people fawn over reviewers who just shit on things. Are you even sure you remember that segment from Pokitaru correctly?

No, because I got rid of my PS4 last year, but it struck me as arrogant and foolish. Meta criticism about critics in games (and movies, TV shows... just about anything) always rubs me up the wrong way. To throw that in a remake was just fucking dumb, in my opinion.

Also, fuck their sub-Dreamworks tier movie.

>all these replies
>Nobody smells obvious shill
Are people stupid?

The Halo 1 remaster sucked, they hardly bothered making any new assets aside from the environments. Instead of trying to do the original models with modern tech they just imported all the shit from Reach, maybe with a new skin. And some of the environments sucked ass too, they ruined Truth & Rec and Guilty Spark.

>Qwark telling his version of the story

Fuck Qwark. He became a cancer in the series as Nefarious did since he has to be the bad guy behind everything

And the recycled weapons from Future series. And Mr.Zurkon having the same lines for the last 3 games

>movie based on a Sony property
>released by a subsidiary of Universal
