Judging by the blue wrench in the last image, it looks like we will have some type of upgradeable OmniWrench this time around. Probably like the one in Up Your Arsenal, but I'm hoping for some more depth in terms of customizability.

Actually Insomniac has a really deep customization system planned for A Crack in Time:

1.2 - My main problem with Ratchet and Clank games is that
They are just too easy and you have wayyy too many weapons. And its not like each weapon has unique properties; they pretty much kill the same enemies the same way.

I just hope this new game will be deeper, longer and harder (no pun intended).

@Spacesquirrel
More platforming would be nice too. I'd also love it if there were more engaging boss fights. And also more parts where you use the six axis to fly. I loved those a lot.

BTW Does anyone know if you play as Ratchet in this game? I think I read somewhere that you play as his ancestor or something. Not sure.

Hopefully, there will be more platforming portions as well.

Yes they should include a hard mode for gamers that like a bigger challenge but do rememeber that RC was made to be played by kids as well.

That's why I always preferred Jak more :P. Jak 2 was challenging but you felt so nice when you completed a mission. I'm also a huge Ratchet fan though and I still like Up Your Arsenal the best.

Lightsaber instead of your wrench = win.

RYNO5 anybody?

Wow, at the time they looked like amazing graphics. Now, they look basic in comparison.

@cmrbe and presto717

I read somewhere that they were putting a bunch of difficulty modes because a major complaint towards tools of destruction was the difficulty. From easy to really hard.

By the way, if you want tools of destruction to be harder, just don't upgrade the armor so often. That makes things really hard. Especially the ending stage.

I beat the game without upgrading armor at all and I didn't buy any weapons until the flamethrower. So you can try doing things like that to challenge yourself a bit more. And it saves you a ton of bolts/raritanium :)

We need more colorful titles like Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time IMO. We have too much brown and gray in this generation so far.

It could pass for a pixar film if you drooled from the mouth and hit yourself in the chest with your hand.

3 - It is hard
to improve from TOD graphically because it was already near toy story graphics. I love TOD, Still play it often.

I really enjoyed the first one and the graphics were very nice first tiem around, but yes they've upgraded it bigtime.

Better lighting,shaders, and hopefully game will be harder, i actually want less weapons, with more punch when you get the big ones.

But i'm guessing it'll be an awesome game either way.

This and Uncharted are opposite sides of the spectrum, near perfection in cinematic realism, Uncharted 2. Playable Saturday morning cartoon crossed with Pixar, Ratchet and Clank CiT, ToD looked amazing.

Technical side has improved but it seems to me that one of their artists is missing this time round. I can't put my finger on what it is but I hope it's only paranoia??????

Still going to buy it though cos they are always good fun:)

The detail looks much more crisp and clear compared to R&C:TOD.

But remember the screens of R&C:ACiT in this article are from the old build. The devs said that the new build will be shown tomorrow.

I think it'll look better then this.

Looking forward to that video, R&C needs more exposure. I love R&C franchise. ACiT is day one for me.

Tomorrow, finally august 18 is just few hours away. Rumors will be put to rest, or will be confirmed. I'm excited.

Ratchet&Clank: A Crack In Time isn't going to be at GamesCom, as previously confirmed. Insomniac Games stated so in their latest Full Moon show.

*drools*!!! I know this game will look great. Look at the huge improvement between TOD and Q4B. Look at the huge improvement between R: FOM and Resistance 2.

Yeah that's right! Insomniac already confirmed that a new build of the same stage will be shown at GamesCom and normally a 'New build' for a PS3 exclusive game normally means giant leaps of improvements from lighting, colours, textures & shaders to improved environments & animations and a whole lot of other improvements.

I can't wait to see my best franchise of all time.

glad to see that they are working on increasing the depth and difficulty of the game. ToD was incredibly fun, but it was way too easy.

Im not too bothered about graphics with this game though they are good.

I just hope the game overall this time is deeper. The gun customisation looks MUCH better but Im talking about mini games as well. The galdiator arena needs to have way more content like the older games, I want racing back in (hoverboard please!!!) and just more difficulty in the mini games in general...
