While the original's colors are washed out and somewhat muddy, the color palette present in the remake is vivid and cartoony the way Ratchet & Clank is meant to be. The video is a tightly-focused investigation of three famous levels - Metropolis, Gaspar, and Nebula G34 - and it is masterful in how it demonstrates the significant changes Insomniac Games has made.Įach world in the remake has new, dynamic backgrounds that make the levels really come alive. The video shows Ratchet as he explores each level in both games in a near perfect step-by-step comparison that displays just how much power the PS4 has compared to its predecessors - not that it was ever in doubt. Insomniac Games has clearly gone to great lengths to revive their beloved franchise on the PS4, as a recently released video from YouTube user Flotonydu71 illustrates. While it's been some time since we last saw a game set in the Ratchet & Clank universe, there's no doubt that Insomniac Games has the right pedigree for platforming games to recapture what made the original so great, and a recent comparison video on YouTube goes a long way in proving that. The upcoming Ratchet & Clank PS4 remake is looking to recapture the magic that started in 2002 with the original Ratchet & Clank.

Visuals have always been a key aspect of the studio's games, and in revisting an old classic, aesthetics have stolen the spotlight once more. Whether it's the colorful, vibrant graphics or the tongue-in-cheek writing, there is a certain quality in its games that makes them distinctly Insomniac. Ratchet & Clank is gearing up for a theatrical release next year, and the studio's newer IPs like Sunset Overdrive continue to help them stand out from its competitors.

Insomniac Games has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1994.
