This Is Living (In Sydney)
I spent the weekend in Sydney with my wife. We were on our way to Paddington Market (a must see if you're visiting), when I noticed three buses with these gi-normous Ratchet & Clank Future/This is Living ads go by. They are the first Playstation 3 ads I've seen outside of television since I've been in Australia. Seems like a pretty good investment, though I'd like to see some for Uncharted as well. -

Insomniac Bringing More DLC
In an interview with D+Pad magazine, Insomniac's Ryan Schneider dropped a juicy, vague, open-ended quote that will get us nowhere but interested in hearing more.It's been great to have a network that can facilitate the map-pack downloads, demos and trailers for both Resistance: Fall of Man and Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction. The number of users on PSN has been rising steadily and we absolutely plan to support them with more new content coming soon.
Yeah, while we've expected continued PSN content for Resistance, this is the first mention we've seen of anything downloadable near the words "Ratchet & Clank" other than "demo." Hmm...maybe Insomniac is planning new guns...or maybe just some additional wallpapers...or maybe nothing. Time will tell. More » -

Emotional Intimacy of the Lombax
Seth Schiesel of the New York Times has written a story that rightfully gushes over Insomniac's PlayStation 3 masterpiece, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. In it he discusses with creative director Brian Allgeier the importance of developing an emotional connection with the player."Ultimately we're trying to create more emotional intimacy," he said. "That's one of the things that movies do really well with the close-up, where you can really see the emotions on the character's face. But in games, so often you're just seeing the action from a wide shot behind the character you're controlling and you don't have that emotional connection. So that's what we're going for."

Frankenreview - Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3)
You already know the game is awesome. Because McWhertor and I proclaimed it as such. And we did about a hundred hands on impressions with the game—none of them wasted, mind you. But now that Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction has been officially poked and prodded by the perverted scientists that are game reviewers, you can have numerical confirmation for what we already suspected.

Week in Games: Decisions, Decisions Edition
So many good games coming out this week I'm afraid my bank account is going to take quite a beating. Eye of Judgment, Zak and Wiki, Ratchet & Clank, Jericho and Castlevania are all on my short list of games to get this week although one or two of them may have to wait until the cash magically replenishes itself.

Sony Sinks £1m Into Rachet & Clank Euro Commercials
Sony's problem with the PS3 isn't the architecture or the price point, not when it comes to capturing the consumer lust. It's that none of their titles have captured the excitement of the mass public yet (Motostorm is great, but I don't think it's reached the necessary threshold). We're guessing that's why Sony is putting £1m strictly into advertising Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction on Saturday night European television. Sony explains:One of the strongest aspects of Ratchet and Clank, has to be the quality of the visuals, and we wanted to showcase this in the TV ad, meaning it'll be made up entirely of actual gameplay footage.

Ratchet & Clank Future Undelayed
After hearing news of a one-week delay that would cause Insomniac Games to ship its first retail release later than promised, I was crushed. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction was a shining beacon of awesome on a PlayStation 3 release list that left me cold, searching in the darkness for something original, exclusive, platform-filled and fun. Fortunately, for those of us deeply impacted by having to wait an extra seven days for the next-gen Ratchet & Clank, it looks like it will indeed make its original street date in North America. The PlayStation.blog brings good word of speedy manufacturing and early shipment of the game, surely a product of divine intervention. More » -

Region Free DualShock 3 Supports Ratchet & Clank Future Day One
This afternoon, I cruised on up to the Insomniac Games office for a last minute look at Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction for the PLAYSTATION 3. Having missed out on the game's DualShock 3 support in the Tokyo Game Show demo and well aware (read: right pissed) at the release "lag" that meant most North Americans won't have access to the PS3's rumbling afterthought, I was curious about support for the "ShockAxis" for the domestic release. Short answer? It's looking good.

Ratchet & Clank Future Demo Due October 4th
We now know the date of "the future." It's when Insomniac Games' Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction will be released in demo form via the PlayStation Network. According to IGN, we'll all be wearing silver jumpsuits, issuing commands to our personal sex robots and tossing back food pills while playing the PLAYSTATION 3 demo of Ratchet & Clank Future on October 4th, 2007. The demo will feature a playable version of the game's first level, the city of Metropolis, and, I presume, redefine awesome. More » -

Insomniac Opens R&D Site To Developers
There's little doubt that we should be pinning medals on the lapels of every Insomniac Games employee for the awesome Resistance: Fall of Man and the totally awesome Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction—although, I'm sure the giant checks are commendation enough. But the Burbank boys should be lauded for their newest online endeavor, the Insomniac Research and Development archive which went live today. More » -

Ratchet & Clank Future Demo Due In "The Future"
Game Informer writes that they've confirmed with Sony that both Heavenly Sword and Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction will be coming to the PlayStation Store in the "near future." With Heavenly Sword a lock for European and North American PLAYSTATION 3 owners, we highly doubt that Insomniac Games' totally awesome action adventure is going to hit the same day. The Store would simply collapse from the distribution of all the awesome sauce. More » -

Three New Ratchet & Clank Future Screens
Insomniac Games dropped three new Ratchet & Clank Future screenshots to the Insomniac Community today. The images include free falling, rail riding and, most importantly, Transmorpher penguins. For those of you not part of the community, those are the animals selected by a poll of the site's podcast listeners to be included in the game. Pretty neat that they let their fanbase have such a say on game play. Two more pics after the jump. More » -

Wilson Vs. McWhertor On Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
When Mark Wilson and I had conflicting E3 impressions on Insomniac Games' Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, we decided to hash it out online. What we hoped to resolve, through vague impressions, was exactly how awesome the PLAYSTATION 3 sequel was. Totally awesome? Certifiably awesome? Better than an Awesome Blossom? In our first e-mail exchange, in which we ultimately agree on exactly the same thing, Mark and I do our best to express how unquestionably awesome the game will be, based on our E3 reactions, when it ships later this year.

Gallery: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Sony squeezed out a few more screens of the upcoming PLAYSTATION 3 action-adventure Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction today, meaning a mini-gallery of now-gen goodness for you to snack upon. The setting and shots may look familiar, but they're still at least 75% new. For those of you in a media blackout or without the lovely teaser trailer from the PlayStation Store, make sure you take a look. This is looking like more than a worthy successor to Resistance: Fall of Man. More »
