Insomniac: PS2 Ratchet Titles Could Come To The PS3

http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/6692.html

The return of many PS1 classics on the PlayStation Network has proven to be a great success, but how's about moving along to PS2 games?

Some developers and publishers have already expressed their desire to see this happen, and the latest on the list is Insomniac Games. According to Examiner.com, there has been some talk about bringing the great Ratchet and Clank PS2 titles to the PS3 in some form, perhaps even in high-def Blu-Ray format like we saw with the God of War Collection. The subject has come up over at Insomniac's Twitter page and as you can see, there's one particular response that sounds promising:

"It's a cool idea, if there is enough support for this sort of thing. If SCEA wants to do it, we'd support a dev taking it on."

If you're wondering, SCE Santa Monica didn't handle the GoW conversion for the aforementioned God of War Collection; they outsourced that project to Bluepoint Games. And now, it seems that Insomniac is perfectly willing to do something similar, so perhaps we'll see that happen in the future. Maybe if the Collection does well financially...? Ratchet is one of those franchises that has been loved for multiple generations and although the more advanced ones are great, there's something to be said for the old classics.

Would be neat if they also added functioning online support for "Up Your Arsenal" and "Deadlocked"(both co-op and competitive).

I've played them all but I only own Up your Arsenal. I'd rebuy them at 720p AA 60fps for sure.

In for all of them . . .
Add trophies too please.

Trophies have to be included anyways as of January 2009 so no worries there as long as it's not just a port of the PS2 version but an actual upgraded HD transfer.

I've never played the PS2 Ratchet titles, so I would buy this for sure if they did it.

YES! I would mark out like mad if they did that. Disappointed with the lack of online on the PS3 Ratchet games.

TL OWNS U · 03-04-2010, 05:24 PM

I've played 1,3 and 4, but I have only finished the 1st and 4th one. i would gladly play the games again in HD

Pauliesr · 03-04-2010, 05:34 PM

Off all the R&C titles, I think I'd put Up Your Aresenal at the top of the list.

The 2 PS3 titles weren't bad. I liked Crack in Time better than Tools of Destruction.

The only thing that would bug me about this is that Tools of Destruction (the best one in the series) wont have a trophy list. I wish Insomniac would wise up and do this!
