Re: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

Will do, I really have no interest in playing the first three. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I want my next gen graphics. Judging from the demo, the game is awesome. My only cons are it's easy, and the camera isn't the greatest ever. But it's not horrible either, if that makes sense.

Holic, the first 3 don't look bad on the PS3 when you run the option to upscale the graphics.

Might be something I look to do in the future, but right now I have all I can play. LOL

Re: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

I brokedown and downloaded the demo. Holy crap this game is one good looking PS3 game and the gameplay is a combo of the best parts of the previous games. I'm just tempted to not even bother with the PS2 versions and just move right on to this one.

Re: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

For those that have the game, can you invert the camera controls in options? Both X and Y? The demo did not let you and I was barely able to play it. I'm sure the option is there for the final game, but you never know.

Re: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

Yes you can invert both axis.

This is the best sounding game that I have ever heard. If you have surround sound then crank it up. When you are using the hammer there are sounds going on all around you. Just smashing a crate creates some awesome surround sound.

The graphics are wonderful and I am having a lot of fun there are just too many games right now though.

Cool, thanks. Now I just have to determine whether or not I can fit one more game into my schedule (and budget). Too many games!!! Argh!!!!

Cool. Do you think you'll play through it again in the future? Are there a lot of sidequests outside the main objective of the game? I'm just trying to decide if I should rent or buy. Thanks!

Re: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

Bought this the day it released and haven't even gotten to play it yet... my girlfriend won't put it down! Haha.

The graphics a sick though, and the story is hilarious... Insomniac did a great job with this one.

Just got this and Skate from GF over the weekend. Put a hour into R&C. So far, so good. The rail sequences on the first map are sweet.

Re: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

I'm on the last planet I believe. The game has been great so far. The only downside I see is it's been really easy which can be a good thing or a bad thing. It's definitely a must buy.

Re: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

This is what I was talking about earlier.

Insomniac digitizes paralyzed boy into Ratchet and Clank Future



Man, you gotta love a studio like Insomniac. Not only are they one of the best companies in America to work for and, I'm told, shower their employees with money and naked attractive people on a daily basis, but they've also got hearts the size of Buicks. The word on IGN is that Insomniac, in partnership with popular tear-jerking television show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, will unveil a digital version of 9-year-old James Westbrook for use in their upcoming Ratchet and Clank Future on the PS3.

James was paralyzed in a car accident in July of 2006 and his father, SFC Gene Westbrook, was also paralyzed in Iraq two years prior. His family's house, as you might suspect, wasn't really equipped to handle two wheelchairs roaming about, so Extreme Makeover stepped in to do something about it. Seeing as how young James is a huge gamer, Insomniac stepped in too. In the span of a single week, the company's 160 employees all focused on the sole task of creating a playable James, complete with flying saucer, for use in Ratchet and Clank Future.

"We were immediately moved to do something special for the Westbrook family when we learned about their tragic situation and James' passion for videogames design," said Ted Price, Insomniac Games' founder and CEO. "For all of us at Insomniac, this opportunity to help such an amazing family with our game-making experience was a real honor. We've never inserted a member of the public into our videogames, and we think it's incredibly appropriate that James will be the first gamer to enjoy that unique experience."
The big surprise was foisted upon the Westbrook family as they were introduced to their new home. If you want to be reduced to a snivelling, blubbering sentimental mess along with your favorite Linde, you can catch the episode of Extreme Makeover on April 22nd on ABC.

And to Insomniac: thanks for giving us some really, really great news.

Re: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

This game is great. It's super polished. I'm like 4 hours in and like Uncharted the production values are off the charts. It's a very pretty game, and so far the story is interesting and quite humorous. Gameplay seems like it will be pretty varied throughout the game, which is nice. The weapons and gadgets are simply awesome, and it's not long before you have a bunch of them. I also really like the use of the Sixaxis.
