History Trivia / RatchetAndClankIntoTheNexus

* OrphanedReference: ''Into the Nexus'' was slated to be a cross-platform release on Platform/PlayStation3 and Platform/PlayStationVita, but ultimately only the former game released. Despite this, the game still has the same Cloud Save functionality that was used to transfer saves between the two platforms, and looking at its trophy list on platforms that show the platforms a game is playable on, like the Vita or Platform/PlayStation4, reveals that the Vita is still listed there alongside the [=PS3=], even though the game never released on the handheld.

** A Platform/PlayStationVita version of the game was planned, but was ultimately cancelled. While an official reason was never given as to why, it's widely assumed that the troubled development and poor reception of the Vita port of ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFullFrontalAssault Full Frontal Assault]]'' is what got the ''Nexus'' port scrapped. Remnants can be seen with the Cloud Save option within the game, the trophy list including a "[=PSVita=]" tag, and the game containing an empty "Bonus" option in the XMB menu.

Unfortunately the game's engine proved to be incompatible with the console, so it was left to be a [=PS3=] exclusive.

* CreatorBacklash: TJ Fixman, the writer of this game, [[https://twitter.com/tjfixman/status/1367522749363548162?s=21 has expressed that]] [[spoiler:Cronk and Zephyr's [[DroppedABridgeOnHim death scene]] was a relative disservice to the characters, stating his original idea would've been [[DisneyDeath their parts being scattered]] with Ratchet working to reassemble them, rather than how they were KilledOffForReal in the final product.]]

* CreatorBacklash: TJ Fixman, the writer of this game, [[https://twitter.com/tjfixman/status/1367522749363548162?s=21 has expressed regret towards]] [[spoiler:Cronk and Zephyr's [[DroppedABridgeOnHim death scene]], stating that he would've originally made it so [[DisneyDeath the Nebulox's destruction scattered their parts]] as opposed to them being KilledOffForReal. Unfortunately, the game was too far into development to implement this as a collectible mechanic, so the duo was given a farewell scene in TheStinger instead.]]
