Why was Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal so half-assed?

They gave them like 10 months to make a new game + multiplayer

the answer is right there in the pic, they made 1-3 back to back and released them as a yearly sequel, of course dev stuff would be cut down

>>715546290 (OP)
Rushed development.
Thats basically the answer for anything bad in every R&C game until rift apart.

Pretty much, like how they realised before R&C 1 released it needed strafing but they didn't have enough time to add it

once you establish a franchise, you necessarily don't have to try as hard.

>>715546290 (OP)
It was rushed as fuck but to their surprise, people didn't even care because most sloppers only cared about the gun designs and mindless shooting.

1 > 2 > 3 > ToD > rest are shit

I liked when it was a balance between platforming and shooting

QfB mogs all

The first Rachet was made to sell ps2, hell I still remember the Demo of it and how many times I played it and how incredible Metropolis looked

>>715548709
I hated this game so fucking much. This is when they really lost their touch

>>715546290 (OP)
not enough snow planets and space sections for you GG-fag?

>>715549294
The island section is like the best level in the entire series.

UyA "planets" are almost entirely get off ship, walk over to battle kiosk, start five minute shooting mission, teleported to kiosk after mission finishes, start next five minute linear shooting mission.

>>715546290 (OP)
now I get it, cause UP YOUR ARSEnal
LOL

>>715546290 (OP)
I think it was UYA when the planets became more linear with very few branching paths

>>715549924
yes, they are almost all named like that

>>715548709
It's 2 hours.

>>715546290 (OP)
why did you resize and shit on the resolution of the pics on the right?

2 is the best anyway.
>>715549417
Space combat in 2 was unironically okay.
It also had better arenas
The only things 3 did better was QoL and bossfights
