James Arnold Taylor voices Ratchet, who began the character in 2003 with the franchise’s second game, Going Commando. In the PS4 game Captain Qwark narrates the story, expanding on events from the movie. This new game humorously features the tagline, “The Game, Based on the Movie, Based on the Game.” The movie is a new origins story of how Ratchet and Clank first met, taking on Chairman Drek along with other bad guys introduced in later releases like Dr. The PS4 version features much improved graphics over the original, almost looking like the film set to release April 29, 2016, which is based on the first Ratchet & Clank game that released in November 2002. The game will cost $39.99 when it launches in spring 2016 as a retail release and digital download. This isn’t just a straight high-definition remake but an all-new game retelling the origins of the series that ties into the upcoming movie.

Ratchet & Clank on PlayStation 4 is a re-imagining of the original PlayStation 2 classic. In its 2016 iteration, Ratchet and Clank attempt to stop evil forces from using the Deplanetizer, a weaponized space station, to destroy several planets and use their remaining resources to build a new home for their evil empire.Ratchet and Clank are looking better than ever.

If you're not at all familiar with the series, Ratchet and Clank follows the adventures of the anthropomorphic Lombax called Ratchet and his robot buddy Clank as they rid the universe of evil. Since the last game released in 2016, you'll find many gameplay similarities to latch on to. Because of this, familiarizing yourself with the basics of the series in Ratchet and Clank is a smart idea. According to Insomniac, though Rift Apart follows Into the Nexus' continuity, it will mostly be a standalone adventure that new fans can jump into with ease. While Ratchet and Clank (2016) served as a reimagining of the original game and isn't a direct prequel to Rift Apart (that honor goes to Into the Nexus from 2013), it's probably the best way to introduce yourself to the series. Now's the perfect opportunity to jump into the classic series.
