Some new info on the game

Concluding the events set into motion by Ratchet & Clank® Future: Tools of Destruction, Ratchet & Clank® Future: A Crack in Time will at long last answer some of the franchise fans’ largest questions.

After discovering that Clank’s disappearance was engineered by Dr. Nefarious, Ratchet races to rescue his best friend. Unfortunately, he discovers that Clank’s capture is just the beginning of Nefarious’s latest diabolical plot. In this follow-up to the best-selling series, Ratchet & Clank® Future: A Crack in Time puts players into the role of both Ratchet and Clank as they attempt to reunite and save the universe. Along the way, both will finally uncover the hidden truth behind their origins, and discover their ultimate destinies. As the duo come closer to reuniting, they’ll have to ask themselves the biggest question of all: Do Ratchet and Clank’s destinies lie with each other? Or is it finally time for the universe’s greatest duo to separate for good?

Powered by Insomniac Games’ fourth-generation PLAYSTATION®3 technology, A Crack in Time will continue to bring the experience of playing your own CG-animated movie to the PS3. Players will use new gadgets such as Ratchet’s Hoverboots to explore levels and can take off in Ratchet’s ship to discover nearby moons and planets. Clank will use new abilities to manipulate time to try and stop Dr. Nefarious.

Key Features

An original new adventure and story that answers many of fans’ most-asked questions and wraps up the story arc that started in Ratchet & Clank® Future: Tools of Destruction and Ratchet & Clank® Future: Quest For Booty.

The first message fails. It's also on PSP.

I still need to finish Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty (I haven't played QfB yet).

Rama · 04-29-2009, 03:25 PM

I just read about this in a PS mag and was thinking of posting it but apparently this was announced months ago. I even posted a comment already, lol.

I almost finished Tools of Destruction.

This is one of the best series in gaming, it combines adventure with action and fun. (+ It's in Dutch which is rare).

I used to think it was a kids game but it has some hard-to-beat bosses and levels.

Rama · 05-03-2009, 03:39 AM

Is there a release date known yet? I finished both Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty.

Storm · 05-03-2009, 12:54 PM

All I've read was fall 2009 we should be hearing more about this and a possible release date in E3.

Rama · 05-03-2009, 01:06 PM

Cool, thanks.

Rama · 10-13-2009, 03:19 PM

The releasedate is 28th of October.

Looks different than the previous parts.

Just pre-ordered it.

Rama · 11-03-2009, 01:14 PM

I pre-ordered it so I'll be receiving it around Friday but I wouldn't mind playing a part of it now.

It takes ages though like you said.
