Wonder how they'll handle switching between Ratchet and Rivet. I hope this isn't a Halo 5 situation haha.

Would people be that mad if Rivet was more of the playtime? I think its a very different situation to Halo.

no differently then they handled switching between ratchet and clank in a crack in time.

you'll play from both perspectives and they'll be mostly changing on the chapter/level mark. being in different dimensions and all it's going to be one or the other,.. not both. we'll see the story advance from both perspectives independently for most of the game and they'll meet basically in the last chapter or ending cut scene. if they meet soon enough to play both within the same chapter they'll do it like they switched between ratchet and captain quark previously and they will have a plan that requires them to do separate objectives and it will switch between them more frequently switching on the checkpoints.

i wouldn't. my hot take is ratchet and rivet will get about a 50/50 gameplay split.

I think Rivet is fine. More an issue with pacing, story, and upgrades.

Crack in time was great and I trust the devs. I just didn't expect Rivet to have so much gameplay without ratchet.

1. this is a trailer featuring rivet. you really should expect to see quite a lot of rivet in a video featuring her.

2. like i said about the clank sections previously,... if you have played really any R&C game you should know to expect at least 25% of the game to be not playing ratchet. it's been a standard gameplay thing in every single game. rivet will probably get more than 25% just because she appears to play very similar to ratchet. i'm not sure if she'll feel different during gameplay but the core mechanics are all there:
- guns
- hammer / wrench
- rail grinding
- sling shot
- dimensionator

I'm legitimately excited for this one now.
