This. They could also re-imagine Resistance instead of a new IP.I'm okay with more Spider-Man from one team and then new IP from their other team(s).
Exactly. And that was them who chose to work on Spider-man initialy. I think they have done enough Ratchet and clank games.Honestly I can't see them spending time making Ratchet and Clank games with Spiderman selling as well as it is. It's not like Spiderman is likely to be a chore to work on either, there's plenty of creative stuff they can do with that series.
I wouldn't be surprise if they work on a new IP, alongside continuing Spiderman as a series. Spiderman likely gives them the leverage to 'make what they want' on the side, and for a lot of studios, what they want to make is a new IP. I wouldn't be surprised if the team are quite bored of Ratchet and Clank at this stage.
With that said, I think there's a Ratchet and Clank game that's in development right now, but if I were to guess that will be the last we see for a while.

I'm genuinely surprised that people want more Ratchet. That seems to be the prevailing opinion in here, actually it seems like SM2 is a no-brainer, and people want a new IP, and many still want more of R&C. I thought people would've been fatigued but the output of titles that have been released over the years.
It's strange how titles such as Halo, GoW, and Gears came to be viewed as stale and same-y and experienced sales slumps but R&C has managed to avoid that fate so far. It really is shocking when you consider how little the series and latest title have changed compared to the franchise initial debut way back in 2002.
Still have my fingers crossed for that new IP though.
I don't think Ratchet and Clank as a series has seen any type of drastic gameplay changes aside from Clank and his Zoni puzzles from A Crack in Time. The core gameplay, as good as it is, has remained roughly the same for nearly 17 years. Just my opinion, I don't think much would be lost if they stopped producing the games because much hasn't changed between releases.Ratchet has managed to innovate and introduce new.elements to the core gameplay loop from the original release and all the way to Into the Nexus. The brand is established as a successful, international IP in a way that few Sony IPs manage. Like it'd be foolish not to expect a new Ratchet.
