I missed this feature on the first Ratchet and Clank Future but I guess it would be hard to get it to recognize a PS2 save over a PS3 one. Glad this has come back. #ratchet

I remember my first time playing Up Your Arsenal, with the save games from the original and Going Commando making the game so much easier.
Then I remember when my memory card got corrupted soon after that. When I tried playing Up Your Arsenal (but without the original and GC saves), the game was stupidly hard and I found myself ripping my hair off.
Ace Combat also did this. An AC04 save game in AC5 would unlock you the X-02 much earlier than usual, I think. Or was that AC0?
Either way, the ability to unlock an end-game superplane right off the bat makes the game much, much easier and much more fun. #ratchet

I love ratchet and clank but i really don't feel like beating the game again because i am too busy with uncharted 2 right now.

Exactly. It's better than nothing which most games do. Mass Effect will apparently do something similar to this but it will affect the storyline thanks to choices you made in the original. #ratchet

They need to keep doing this, it's a great incentive for people who have played the older title to buyer the newer one. #ratchet

This, however, is awesome. Every sequel should do this. Fans have been clamoring for it for some time now. Doing anything less is just lazy. #ratchet

The Uncharted 2 is no different. You used the money to buy new skins and such. It's basically the same thing. #ratchet

Well, that is your choice not to play it again. #ratchet

Like I said to another poster, try someone elses save file. It MAY work.

Copy it to a memory stick or USB flash and then copy it to your PS3. #ratchet

What the trophy patch did is lock saves to their respective users, meaning that although you can copy over someone else's save, you won't be able to gain trophies while from that save. This is probably why the game ignore "pre-trophy" saves and probably why copied saves won't allow you to get the 100,000 bonus... #ratchet

I wasn't sure but it didn't hurt to try. I cannot try it since I already used the bonus. #ratchet

As for the rest of the game, I've done a lot of reading about just how much of what you've done in the first game is reflected in the second, even seemingly insignificant missions. I can't wait for January. #ratchet

I know gears of war 2 did somethign like this if you had a certain achievement unlocked from GOW1. #ratchet

I've tried my best to block out that series. I thought GOW2 was so disappointing at the end. I had a blast for the rest of the game but then it just sizzled out. If I grab GOW3 you can be sure I'll be as as rental or reduced price. #ratchet

Sure, it's fun, when it works. Which is sad for such a high profile series.
I'll stick to CoD for my online shooting pleasures. #ratchet

Beast Wars is hands down the best Transformers series. No arguments possible.
However, you really can't beat the original Optimus "Peter Cullen" Prime (as Kotaku recently put it) for a voice.

I, for one, welcome our mechanical overlords, etc.
