Possible Early Release of Ratchet & Clank PS3

Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction was pushed back by Insomniac for 1 week to release on the 30th October in the US. This was so they could thoroughly check the game and make it as perfect as they could before it went to print. We know that the game has gone gold now, and there are now signs that it may be releasing on the 23rd October. (PS3, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction)

Update *Edit* It's appears that the game will be shipped on the 30th October as originally planned, since an Insomniac employee has posted on the gaming forum Neogaf that "If the game ships to you next week from one of the sites you guys are discussing, that'd be news to us here. Still the 30th." Further evidence to support this date is that the review embargo for the game is lifted on October the 26th.

I hope you're right... October 23rd is already too crowded : )
Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights
Clive Barker's Jericho
Conan
Eye of Judgment --- I want that one...
Ratatouille

Wallet check... No, cannot afford more than one game per week : ) And Jericho is also calling me in the background.... Costly months, costly months, I'm really glad the PS3 doesn't have any games : )

@real Gamer
I could aford 3 games a week but only buy games once in a while because i dont buy EVERYTHING i just rent to see if its good b4 i spend my $. in 2 weeks i will buy GH 3 and Battalion wars 2 (PS3 and Wii)

(And sadly there goes my 2nd bubble cus of the xbots)

Seriously, I'm not so bad... I only own 7 games so far
And two of them were cheap, straight from Ebay...

(Paid $8.00, shipping included for NFL07 as an example). I also rent most games. Sadly, since I rented Lair, because the review was bad, I now want this one as well. (Been checking Ebay ever since.)

I'm buying Eye of Judgment on day one. And an extra deck, and a few booster packs. Online is great, but I want to also be able to play one on one as well at home. COSTLY.

Strangely enough, I'm not 100% sure I'll buy Ratchet... As I said, too many good games coming. I could easily afford one a week, but have to draw the line somewhere :)

Luckily, I don't have the same taste as some of my friends, and we also share games. (Except for Motorstorm and Resistance, we all own our own bluray...). So if I'm lucky, one of them will buy Ratchet and I won't even have to rent it. (Demo didn't sold me...)

Still, I've own pretty much all the other consoles so far. I don't remember wanting so many games in such a short few months. Great time to be a gamer for sure! Bad time for anybody's wallet : )

I was totally sold by Jericho's demo. But I think I can hold on for a while. At least I hope.

get a damn job

I can afford every game out this month at the same time!!!
Real Gambler  +   2665d ago
Good for you SofaKing
There's just a little be more than 10 days until the end of the month, and there's $600 worth of games to buy. $1800 for November and December. That's $2400 for the PS3 alone. Now if you're like me, you likely own a decent PC and a few other consoles... So you're likely looking at about well over $5000 worth of games in the next two month and a half. I could afford it as well. Doesn't mean I would buy them all though. You also have to find the time to play them. That's another reason to draw the line somewhere : ) So many games, so little time :)

UH I know what I'm doing.

===================
Go and see the sales of Warhawk, failed n00b. Motorstorm was a launch game for PS3 in Europe, that's why it sold decent enough.

Look at the sales of Lair, Heavenly Sword and Folklore (LOL), those games are a complete failure.

Quick, GO PStards, click the disagree button because i said the truth!!! DO IT.

LMFAO

IdontTakeSides  +   2665d ago
Dude you fail to realise..that many of those games you mention will continue to sell well into the future hence there's alot of PS3'S that will be bought..Lair isn't even out in EU yet..Folklore geez give the game some time dude.....Warhawk is an online only game..only ppl who plays online game will buy it sold well enough to not be considered a flop..do you know how many ppl downloaded it..??....btw check the others charts around the world and see if PS3 games aren't increasing in sales...
RonDeMuerte  +   2665d ago
@ Almighty ....HAHAHAHA!!!!
Oh you're a f@ckin moron......did you know that the PS3 is still in it's first year??.....the 360 started making good and incredibly overhyped games it's second year......there's only a couple of months before we enter 2008....then we'll take a look at what next year's games are going to be like, and which console has the better selection.......oh and by the way....the PS3's first year games were waaaaaaaaaaay better than the 360's first year games.......HAHA.....you're a loser...

Whatever
I guess you ejaculate based on sales numbers of a Xbox 360 game. "OMG, HALO SOLD 5 MILLION COPIES IN ONE DAY, I'M GONNA CUM!!!111". Congrats, moron.

By the way, Warhawk didn't do good at retail, but just for your information, it did pretty good online. If Xbox 360 game sales make you cum, is this the analogue of a kick in your nuts? That was a rhetorical question, by the way.
ruibing  +   2665d ago
Those are all original IPs that are trying something new for a change. And even at that, I wouldn't call them flops, they sold very well. I bought Warhawk but I can't play anymore before having to head back to college for my senior year. I do plan on getting a bunch more PS3 games come winter break.
lawman1108  +   2664d ago
Warhawk sold a VERY weak.................
200,000.00 copys world wide and I bought mine on ebay so it does not even count.

Lair..........180,000.00 P.U I would not take this for free

Fall of man is THE only good game and it lacks due to no rumble

You know chevrolet sold a lot of cavaliers in 2003 but I'll still rather have a Porsche. Basically my point is if you market (hype) anything enough you will have a lot of sales. Halo is a perfect example. It's the same run-gun-reload-run-gun that you would expect had you played halo 1. The story sucked and the graphics were alright. But because of all the hype even Japan bought into it (for like 3 days). Then a game like heavenly Sword comes in with awesome graphics- facial animation-stortelling- combo/hit system and all you wanna do is talk smack based on sales? Your either a fool or 12yrs old!! Friggin troll

Great game played the demo
and
since I have it reserved
I'm gonna play it as soon as I buy it.
Sony has a lot of experienced developers on it's hands for games like this it's no doubt who's the winner of the console war.
I mean the graphics alone are like a Pixar Movie and the game play is superb.
As a fan of the series I rate this game as a 10/10.
Great Job Sony!
nomad117  +   2665d ago
I consider rachet and clank one of the best action platformers I have ever played. HATCHET CRANK is that the best you can come up with I guess xbox fanboys lack creativity.

I really can't figure out why any gamer would bash Ratchet and Clank, it's a great series. And no matter what you say, you have to admit this game looks really good.
