Is this a full new game, or a expansion to the other PS3 ratchet and clank game?

@Horusz: I believe it is a full, new game. They mostly don't release expansions for console games as a physical discs, Fallout 3 notwithstanding.

But you get extra points for having a Psyduck in your picture.

@Horusz: Although I'm still not certain, I've come to understand that this is a full game, just like tools of destruction. For me, the confusion lies in it also being called "Ratchet & Clank: Future".

But you can see a disc in the picture, so that's a good sign.

So while it appears it'll be a game you can go purchase at a physical store, I have no idea if it'll have any link to progress made in Tools of Destruction. Do you keep the weapons you got from that one, including however much you leveled them up? Bolts? Armor?

Of course I'll be getting this either way. But it would be nice to know.

.... Actually, as I think about it now, since this is a full game they'll probably have us start over from scratch just so we can level up and buy new weapons over the course of the game. Still, it'd be nice to see some impact on this game for completing the previous one.

@EmeraldStorm: It's a full game. I'm guessing it's long enough and has two different sets of gameplay. Mostly because Insomniac have said that they're releasing two demos for the game.

Also weapons and stuff do not generally carry over in ratchet and clank games and reading info about this game so far suggest that it doesn't.
They are independant games from each other.
Ratchet and Clank:Future is the R&C games that's come out on the PS3, they have an overarching plotline and the story continues from Quest for Booty (though that's not essential to understand I think as it's more of a side-story rather than the main one).

The impact is on the story, nothing else. I mean the game is pretty linear you don't have multiple endings so it wouldn't really make sense to have stuff carry over.

You guys have to submit the the extra consoles sold due to Red Ring. I know I bought at least 2 360s because of it. Just to keep things in perspective.

@Netnavi:

why in God's name wouldn't you get both consoles replaced for free under the warranty?

If its been two they both had to have been under warranty. warrantry replacements don't count toward sales numbers.

If you really bought 2 xbox's without simply returning them to be replaced for free...well, wow. The only reason I could think of is if you mod your 360's. If that is the case then you can't bitch about it.

@alexkidd: I think I got the first one replaced by MS and bought one so I wouldn't have to wait to play my games. Then when it came back I had two working 360s. 1 to game and one for back up just in case. Then when they BOTH died on me I repeated the process. I sent one in for repair while I tried to pry open the other 360 and try and fix it myself. That didn't work.

So I have got a working 360 but another one , just in case.

That's my reasoning. The warranty is good but it'd be better if they didn't break within the year. Thankfully the 360 I have now has been fine but time will tell.

Man, remember when Sony was in the lead? I miss the early PSX-days. Those were some zany games.

Today we have one machine with shovelware

One machine people hate out of principle, based on amount of games, price or the chat where you have to talk to other people to get any enjoyment out of

And one machine with shoddy hardware

Last gen you could buy the PS2 for its amazing library and low price, while a chipped Xbox was pretty much a cheap ass HTPC that could do everything from emulation to video playback. Hell, even Nintendo was better last gen. Paid $70 for a new GC with Wind Waker, Metroid Prime and Pikmin 2.

@Axellness: Not true for everyone. I can afford a PS3 but I chose not to have a Playstation this time because it didn't have the games I wanted. I got the 360 because of stuff like Gears and such and even having money to get a PS3 I won't get one cause it's too similar to the 360. I'm becoming a console collector though, so, in the future I will eventually get one to play the hell out of exclusives. Yeah, it's a fine machine and all, but choice is not always because of money issues, you know...

@lucasreis: Indeed it is not true for everyone but I do think a large majority of the hate comes from those who are unable to afford the console. Its like Mac's alot of the hate is actually toward to hardware or the operating system but the fact that the price means its unattainable to most PC users (with lower spec models coming in at about £600). Poor people are pathetic to be honest.
