Why has this series been so horribly mismanaged for the better part of a decade?

I assume you just found this image on Google and aren't insinuating anything against Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal.
And the answer to your question is that they just don't know what to do and don't wanna do the same thing over and over, so they keep changing it and hoping they hit something good.
Except Mr. Zurkon. They have their weird fetish for Mr. Zurkon.

Melodramatic furry....Sonic is mismanaged. Ratchet at least has a solid gameplay formula. The only negative change for Ratchet is the tone being drama instead of comedic wit.

I think they should make one more trilogy on PS5 where Tachyon and Angela returns and Ratchet finds the Lombaxes

Don't forget the Groovtrion. Insomniac ran out of ideas years ago!

>trilogy
No. Stand alone titles only. There doesn't need to be an overlapping story in Ratchet and Clank.

Fun gameplay, but story wise they should have left it as a trilogy. The reboot just proves they have no idea what to do with the series yet they're obligated by Sony to keep the IP alive.

The PS3 games suffered from the usual 6-7th gen hop that wasthe ruin of many classic game series. The PS3 trilogy of R&C games suffered from a lack of content and dumbed down gameplay.

also here's a lets play series where two developers who worked on Ratchet & Clank 2 and 3 (GC and UYA) comment on the game while playing through it.

Also true, yeah.
I guess to summarize,
>Insecure about repeating the same overarching ideas over and over
>But also creatively dead and keep recycling certain things (it was fun as a side bonus thing like in R&C3 where you could get the Bouncer though) because they know "it works" so to speak

Speaking of furries, was Sly 4 any good? I never got around to playing it

I kinda hope the next game blows me away if and ever. So far Sony showed me a logo with a PS3 era style Ratchet, which doesn't inspire hope.

It's okay, but man does it fuck up on a lot of things.

The game takes a massive dip after the second hub world.

Legit, I'd rather they just retire Ratchet as a character, cause he's been torn apart by this point. Make a game in a similar vein featuring new characters and old mechanics.

Such as every ability being passive. Real fucking gay, Shitzaru.

Too many fucking games after the first five. Should have spaced them out better.

Did Tony ever do a ToD dev commentary?

I don't think he ever did

Insomniac kept cranking them out like the apocalypse for seven years straight. Then said, fuck it and built a new studio to make more Ratchet. Unfortunately the games made by the B-team aren't up to snuff.

>Unfortunately the games made by the B-team aren't up to snuff.
Exactly.
>mfw trying FFA
Fucking horrible.

You can tell they just don't have their heart in it anymore.

>2016 remake

Seriously. Make a spiritual successor or make a game set in the same universe but with new leads. It could either be new characters or original characters we could get a chance to explore, like Talwyn, instead of being vomited on with Quark over and over again.

+ But more importantly, give it to people who still have passion and want to bring new things.

Go back to the style of the PS2 games, in art style, writing, humor, story, weapon variety, minigame variety, and maybe I'll like ratchet and clank again

Fuck off GamingBrit

>quest for booty
Absolute garbage, why was this even made?

Based Charlie

>minigame variety
Imagine unironically liking shit like hacking, space combat, or races when they were always the worst parts of these games

>Not liking space combat and races
You have ousted yourself as an absolute scrub. It's okay to dislike hacking, since it's a non-action type minigame in an action game, but you have literally no excuse for disliking zooming around at high speeds.

I just want Insomniac to go back to not having 'deep' generic stories and some real humor. I don't know why but everything feels so bland and sterile in the PS3 games

the races in going commando were great. space combat was ass though, I agree. I remember doing the shitty defeat all space wasps mission over and over once I got the nuke for free bolts, and I hated doing it. Don't know why I put myself through that shit.

Why do you only care about a series gamingbrit did videos on?
Are you perhaps a fake fan? I believe the answer is yes. And no, R&C was not always a Zig Forums topic until his videos.
