Well, apparently we had it wrong.
It will not be a remake, but a complete reboot according to Insomniac.

Fans of the Ratchet and Clank series will be happy to hear that Insomniac Games is still full steam ahead developing a new title for the franchise, exclusively on Playstation 4. Maybe it's just me, but the extra funding exclusive titles get usually lead to a more unique, robust gaming experience. Here's to hoping the new Ratchet and Clank game follows that philosophy.
Playstation Experience happened over the weekend, and many gamers were left wondering, "Where is the new Ratchet and Clank?" There are still a lot of misconceptions about the game, and while Insomniac Games may not have had any time on the material stage, they've taken to Twitter's virtual one to offer some tidbits of information regarding the upcoming title.
One fan tweeted at the developer, asking Insomniac if they could make a new Ratchet and Clank - not a remake - for the Playstation 4. Insomniac quickly informed the fan that the new Ratchet and Clank is a complete reimagining:
"It's a complete re-imagining. NOT a remake."
Another person asked why Insomniac wasn't going to release the game in Q1 of 2015. Apparently, the user thought that Insomniac had made a statement declaring that the game would be out in early 2015. Here's what they had to say:
"2015. We never said Q1"
While I had grown comfortable with my furry friend and his metallic companion, it'll be interesting to see where a 'complete reimagining' takes us. It seems like Insomniac needed to change up the Ratchet and Clank formula anyway, so this can only mean good things for the series.

PS: There is already a thread for the remake, which I think is still valid, as I could totally see Sony giving another (smaller and lesser profile) studio the task of doing a HD port/ remake of some PS3 R&C titles.
PPS: Wonder if Insomniac didn't screw the pooch on a big reveal Sony would have planned for GDC/ E3 for this ??
Fall lineup: UC4, New R&C title, ??
[Show spoiler]Gran Turismo 7
