Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One: Difference between revisions

* [[Blatant Lies]]: Nefarious's trap for the heroes-- a ceremony for Qwark to receive the Tool of Justice Award.

* [[Brick Joke]]: Ratchet comments on how well Dr. Croid seems to be doing, after {{spoiler|being reunited with Nevo.}}

** In the same cutscene, Ratchet proceeds to snatch the {{spoiler|bag of treats away from Croid.}}

** There's also the Octonok Bay Tharpod, as listed down in [[Tempting Fate]].

* [[Call Back]]: There's an indirect one in one of the later cutscenes, when Susie (whose parents are missing or dead, thanks to Ephemeris) is about to 'lead an assault' on the station. Ratchet immediately seems to get what it's about and convinces her not to continue with the ill-advised attack.

* [[Capital City]]: What Uzo seemed to be before Ephemeris attacked. Luminopolis may be Igliak's capital city (or that may be Meridian, which was capital of "Free Polaris" in ToD).

* [[Casual Danger Dialogue]]: Happens a few times during combat, when characters will take the time to talk. Fairly common when the player characters are Ratchet and Clank.

* [[Co-Op Multiplayer]]: Though the game has been specifically designed to be playable with friends or alone.

* [[Curse Cut Short]]: Barely 3 minutes into the game.

* [[Cryptically Unhelpful Answer]]: Ratchet is puzzled by the lack of this when the Plumber makes [[Once an Episode|his appearance.]]

* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: For those already used to the controls from the Future trilogy, this game may be a pain to re-adjust to, such as the Triangle button being used for the swingshot instead of selecting a weapon, as that's assigned to the Right Stick instead, and the game won't pause when you select a weapon (unless you're playing in Single-Player mode).

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Ratchet demonstrates this even in the trailer.

** The act of sticking the playable characters in the same area is basically guaranteeing monumental levels of snark.

* [[Deflector Shields]]: The [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Reflector]] and the Qwark-exclusive Quantum Deflector.

* [[Strawman News Media]]: Kip Darling and Pepper Fairbanks make their return on the airways of Luminopolis, continuing the not-so-proud tradition set by Darla Gratch way back in [[Ratchet & Clank (video game)|Ratchet & Clank]].

* [[Take That]]: See [[Voice with an Internet Connection]] for one, but another comes up right away in Luminopolis:

** Your reward skill point for beating the game in single player counts, too. {{spoiler|It's "Forever Alone"}}

* [[Techno Wreckage]]: Uzo City, the Exploratorium Power Station

* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: Difficult to say where this falls into this trope. Apparently, Ratchet and Clank are still retired throughout the game... but it doesn't seem like much of a retirement. {{spoiler|By the ending, Ratchet comments on how it didn't exactly work out and the both of them agree that they prefer hero work.}} [[Zig-Zagging Trope|Still, they claimed to be retired throughout two separate adventures...]]

* [[Tempting Fate]]: The Tharpod who steered the boat toward the lighthouse in Octonok Cay. Here's the gist of what he says:

** It will surprise nobody to hear that, roughly 30 seconds later, {{spoiler|the King Sepiad eats him. Subverted after the fight with it, when the Tharpod comes crawling out of its mouth, raving about the horrors he's seen inside the Sepiad.}}

* [[This Is Sparta]]: It doesn't show in the subtitles, but the emphasis on "This is the future!" squarely falls into this trope.

* [[Toilet Humor]]: An example of Doctor Croid's {{spoiler|Lombax whispering skills}}

'''Qwark:''' Hey doc, make it two. 'Been a looong trip. }}

* [[Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]: Again, Uzo City

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: It's a co-op game, and you're handed vacuums that let you suck up your friends early on. People are going to go flying ''everywhere''. Including the into incinerator. <ref> And you get a skill point for it, if it's Clank or Nefarious you toss in.</ref> Not to mention that if you turn "grief mode" on you can suck up other players whether they want to or not. <ref> Otherwise the sucker must stand still and the suckee must be in the air.</ref>

* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]: Played hilariously straight. You even get to hear Cronk subscribing to the Hall of Knowledge online database.

* [[Weapons That Suck]]: The Vac-Us, which play a major role in gameplay.

* [[Whip It Good]]: The Arc Lasher, which is a spiritual successor to the Plasma Whip and Lightning Ravager.
