New Ratchet & Clank Future Game Shows PS3 Potential

Gaming Guru reports:

I made my annual trip to Insomniac Games' studio, which is located just across the street from the Burbank Airport. While last year's focus was the new Resistance: Fall of Man first-person shooter for PlayStation 3, this year, the company's returning to its roots with Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. The new game, which ships October 23, is just what Sony needs to entice gamers to fork over the $500 for its next gen console.

I had the chance to play through a variety of levels at the studio last week and this game is shaping up to be an amazing new adventure. The high definition visuals really bring the characters and the unique planets in this universe to life. The game comes packed with a full hour of CGI that's not too far away from what you see in a Pixar movie.

But its the gameplay that's always been the winning ingredient in these games. The list of new weapons and gadgets is pretty long and there are some really cool new toys to use to take down the variety of enemies.

this game is gonna kick ass

I cant wait till the demo (i think the demo is gonna come out before release)

Just to let you guy know that WARHAWK reached the 250 000 mark yesterday.

100 000 copies downloaded from PSN (online) and around 150 000 sold at RETAILERS .

250 000 copies in 7 days . thats amazing

bad reviews by NASTY BOTTISH websites like GAMESPOT (that gave 2worlds a 7/10. two worlds got 2/10 from gamespy and 1/10 from DOUPE CZ) ,GAYGN ,1up and all its affiliates couldnt prevent LAIR from selling over 200 000 copies in just 5 days of its release.

Ps3 is in a killing spree this year.

Heavenly sword would sell atleast 300 000 copies alone on the 1st day of its launch.

HS,LAIR,UNCHARTED,RATCHET and CLANK,UNCHARTED,UNREAL TOURNAMENT 3,HAZE ,GT5 prologue, FOLKLORE ----surely the ps3 would kill low powered and defective x360 with no games ( bioshock and Gears on PC too. UT3 is upgraded version of Gears)

[Evil0Angel]

U.....R.....A.....JOKE

[lonestarmt]

This, heavenly sword, and uncharted look like the true big hitters this year. Gosh ps3 has a lot of good games this christmas. Insomniac has already made one great game on the ps3, and naughty dog has never let me down. Even with all the console wars going on this is the best time to be a gamer, now if they only would release games in the summer!!

[Evil0Angel]

THAT A JOKE RIGHT ?
@blow nasim:
*FORZA2 is already out/ PGR4 coming OCT
YOUR ULTRBLAH blah blah hopfully christmas 2008/ europe 2009
*gears:we played it last year, good to know you finally got something that can match it, but hey..it also comin to 360..ops

*LAIR:big chunk of wank
*half-assed goddes of war: 5 horse game play = way to go Blue-ray

*HALO3 will sell in few months more than PS3 will sell in a year

*mass effect GOY=there is no any issues from what you mentioned, and it is from THE LEGENDARY BIOWARE

[nasim]

How come this BOT isnt banned?

Your HALO3 looks like a cartoon game with powerpuff Kids . with extremely poor textures and graphical quality why this BOT is still bragging about garbage box 360 ---a dead console in Both EU and JAPAN.

ur mass effect disappointed almost all the guests at GC. it features lilliput low poly aliens and cartoon graphics like halo 3 with poor textures.

which x360 game is good?

u have GEARS ..we have upgraded Unreal Tournament 3.

u have Forza 2/PGR4 with wii graphics. we have ultrarealistic GT5.

LAIR graphically makes all ur garbage box 360 games look like wii games.

GET this nasty BOT out of this forum

[damnwrx]

I'm with ya, dawg...

[MikeGdaGod]

but i think i'll get this one. my girlfriend is really excited about it so i guess its a definate buy for me.

[HowarthsNJ]

Play those while you're waiting (Avoid "DeadLocked" for now though).

At least get the first three games in the series.

[secret]

I thought girls didn't like gamers.

[PimpHandHappy]

i never played these games but i will have to give this game a try. Maybe rent it first.

good days

[secret]

BUY IT YOU SISSY. don't rent...ha ha

[Azures]

This is a game even PS3 haters cant hate on

[fenderputty]

You're not a very good troll. At least compose yourself in a way that makes you look older then 12 years of age.

[DrPirate]

Definitely looking forward to this one.

My one concern is that I hope this game finds a way to differentiate itself from the other Ratchet and Clank's with something fresh and new.

[TeaDouble_E]

I actually never played any of the Ratchet series. If they release a demo on the PSN, Im definitely downloading it. Looking foward to be playing it : )

[americanGTA]

i think its gonna come out before the game comes out!!!!!!

[Amp]

These games are just fun, period. Part Platformer, part shooter,excellent story. You will just smile and have fun. Its really a nice counter point to all the big name FPS comming out. ENJOY

[Marceles]

Would be cool if a demo of this came out today...and I think I just jinxed us all :(. *announcement of demo for next month*

[felidae]

b .. but ... TheMART said he played it at GC and it looks like a polished ps2 game

Get this day one!

[sleekblackroadster]

i always wish they would get a more bright and contrasty color scheme going tho.

i can't help but look at this and compare it to mario galaxy and just be really impressed with the way mario games use the colors to make things beautiful. i guess r&c is going for a more realistic look but imo everything looks kind of busy on the screen with the colors they use. r&c is obviously a lot more detailed this time around tho so it's not to say i'm not impressed by it as well. just a different approach.

i just think of platformers and think of how well mario games always look.

[Relientk77]

Ratchet and Clank is one of the best series on the PS2 (and now PS3).... its soo sick great graphics, weapons and gadgets... these games are just all around pure fun games

i CANT WAIT for this game

[jackdoe]

Looks pretty cool. Never much of a Ratchet fan, but a good demo might change my mind. C'mon demo...

[iceice123]

Sony releasing this cartoon game in the era of Gears of war and Crysis ahaha desperation ahaha.

[beavis4play]

how do you explain viva pinata?

[ElementX]

I thought Lair "showed PS3 potential" and look how that turned out.

[sheng long]

ElementX:
in my opinion, LAIR turned out just fine. From the opening THX screen, you can tell this game was meant as a showcase, and it plays fairly well once you get used to sixaxis.
