...but they are using their Ratchet and Clank IP to do so?

As we heard at E3 the original Ratchet and Clank is being "reimagined" for the PS4.

Just try to imagine the varoius levels of discussions and meltdowns if they just go and develop a new game, or maybe just a seperate mode in the new game that plays exactly like Sunset Overdrive, just with Ratchet and Clank characters and enemies.

It would be glorious entertainment (i'm talking about the threads, not the game)

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

I've never been against clones. Certainly a lack of inspiration, but that doesn't mean the end result is bad.

SO is more or less a different approach to ratchet and clank anyway right?

So you think they'd be willing to piss off both Microsoft fans AND existing Ratchet and Clank fans?

Yeah as a Ratchet fan I just could not stomach that. Not after they already bastardized him with tower defense and move party games. Don't make Ratchet into Sonic just keep to the good stuff
