Ratchet and Clank Collection: Difficulty Estimate?

**antoniosbandana** · 04-14-2012

The R&C Collection drops later this year and I hardly remember them from PS2. How difficult do you think it will be to plat each game?

Ratchet & Clank
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal

Can't say, I've never played any of those three games, but the ones I have played aren't very hard, so I don't think these would be very hard. Then again, it depends on what they decide to make requirements for trophies. :/

Tools of Destruction, Crack in Time, and All 4 One were all very easy and fun, so I'm hoping for more of the same. BUT I know some other remasters like Rayman and Jak and Daxter (at least Jak 2 and 3) aren't that easy.

Rayman 3 has ridiculous collectibles, but other than that it's not that bad.

Jak II hasn't been much of a problem for me so far, but no checkpoints will be a big problem no doubt. Haven't played Jak 3 yet though.

I'm sure they won't be so bad anyway. After all, it's Ratchet and Clank we're talking about here.

The older Ratchet and Clank's admittedly are a bit more difficult for the most part from recent releases, yet they still won't be very hard. And Jak 2 and 3 are really fun, it just is a bit difficult to get all the Precursor Orbs sometimes.

Edit: This is all from PS2 experience since I really have played all the games they have been releasing as collections on their original systems and played them over-thoroughly multiple times ;D

If the collection is anything like the Ratchet & Clank titles on the PS3 then it shouldn't be too bad. I know I've heard a lot of people say the original games on the PS2 were better, but I haven't heard anything about them being more difficult.

It really depends on what the trophies will be, getting the Gold/Platinum/Titanium bolts will (almost) definetly be a requirement, which isn't too bad (and none of the bolts are unobtainable, can be gotten at anytime), chances are there will be a "beat the game in challenge mode" trophy for each game (fairly easy for the most part, may be troublesome in R&C 1), the only thing that would make this game difficult is if they make the skill points a requirement, some of them can be a real pain to do. Oh, another trophy that could be troublesome if there is getting the RYNO in R&C 1, gathering bolts in that game is a pain, especially with no multiplier.

**Rune2303** · 04-14-2012

the games really ain't that difficult although beating the final boss in R&C 1 can prove to be quite difficult without the RYNO which costs a shit ton

Still though should not be very difficult at all for you guys

I personally won't be getting the collection because I still have the original PS2 games (same with Jak and daxter and Sly) but I would love to have the plats xD

This ^^

I remember hating saving up for the RYNO and like he said, some of the skill points were annoying. Other than that though, I think the collection would still be rated between easy to moderate on the official rating threads in terms of difficulty.

**Scrunch** · 04-14-2012

I played all 3 and still own the first 2, i think they'll be fairly easy plats. Totally agree with Ratchet2425 that the skill points could be a problem though, hopefully there won't be a trophy for them.

**antoniosbandana** · 04-14-2012

Well of all the classic series remasters so far, I'm most looking forward to this one. Sounds like these game will be fun and only mildly annoying.

**Shuklar** · 04-14-2012

The only PS2 series with commercials that made me want to actually go buy a PS2 (never did though...wasn't into gaming back then as much as I am now). The commercials were just so silly.

This is a definite buy. I just hope they release it digitally...kind of getting tired of buying discs for games I know I'll never get rid of (unless there's like a super awesome collectors edition, with useful stuff...ie. Infamous 2 back-pack).

**Yorkeh89** · 04-14-2012

Cannoy wait for this game to come out best games i ever had on the PS2! already Pre-Ordered mine

I hope they do exactly what the did for Jak & Daxter. Buy each game individually from PSN for $15 or buy all three for $40. That was you can try one before you get the others, even if that will cost you a bit more money overall. Or if you KNOW you want them, get the pack and save a few bucks.

I agree, but I'l get the physical copy!

**gyrocop** · 04-14-2012

DAMNIT, I'M PUMPED!!! Easy or not this is going to be an awesome trilogy to sit through again. I just hope I can reach to call the trophy guide for one of the games before others... from what I've seen there is a lot of people who want to write it. I would personally not mind co-op writing one.

Oh well.... back on topic. Multiplayer trophies in the third game could occur, which could be a problem. Skill points and Weapon leveling-up could be annoying too, plus the darn collectables (I've really been pissed about collectables lately (doesn't help that the trophy guide I'm currently writing happens to have a little over a 100 collectables (I think (do I use to many parentheses (I think I do))))).

**Kerwan_Ratchet** · 04-14-2012

As long as the skill points aren't required, then it should be easy. If they are in, then we're going to have a really, really big problem.

**Gonzales95** · 06-25-2012

I reckon that for starters, due to the inclusion of the skill points as trophies, these are going to be harder than A Crack in Time. Also, the ps2 games were already harder to start with. The first game will have the hardest plat, because a fair few key features were not implemented until later (strafing is the main one). Looking forward to replaying these classics on Friday!

Even though not part of the trilogy, I believe Gladiator (Deadlocked in the USA) is getting a remake as well, and that will probably have the easiest plat by far as it was a fairly straightforward game.
