If this is Insomniac's big 2009 game I'll be surprised. I admit it.

Clearly people love Ratchet & Clank.

Yep for Europe so it would have to mean this fall or sooner for NA as well.

 

[industrian]

My French is very rusty, but that article says this fall.

You don't need to speak French to know what "l’automne 2009" means.

 

[Ranger X]

Quest for booty is also sitting on my hard drive. Oh well.

My French is very rusty, but that article says this fall.

Makes sense considering the end of QFB said something along the lines of the story continuing in Fall 2009.

 

[StuBurns]

My French is very rusty, but that article says this fall.

EDIT: I'm stupid.

 

[badcrumble]

CRACK

GET IT

like BUTT crack

butts instead of penises in the subtitle pun

this is a greater leap forward than adding "future" to the name

what dramatic changes in gameplay can we expect to reflect this shift in focus

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

nice!!

 

[noire]

deleted

 

[Snipes424]

confirmation please jstevenson?

 

[nelsonroyale]

hehe posting the french press release..

well, its the sequel on ps3 and ratchet is questing to save clank in this one.

Space fighting (hopefully more 3d movement this time), galaxy exploration and collecting are obviously in.

You are going to save the future!!!!

Anyway, can't wait to see more...hopefully they are more ambitious than the last game though. Stronger narrative, larger levels, and more rpg elements please.

Beaten

Does say this fall... having two teams releasing alternatively is great

 

[Dante]

R&C with trophies....I'm so there

Hopefully multi-player is back.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Ok, I really need to get into this series. Time to go raid a bargain bin for the PS2 games.

 

[Kintaro]

PSN or BR release? Curious why there's no "Future" in the title.

 

[Unregistered007]

Great news indeed. I want to see a new Jak game in all the glorious HD...

 

[thaOwner]

I bet this is going to be like QFB but only a PSN only instead of a full fledged BD release.

Great news indeed. I want to see a new Jak game in all the glorious HD...

Gotta contact Naughty Dog for that.

 

[krypt0nian]

YESYESYES </tronbit>

 

[Amon37]

Hell ya!

 

[stuminus3]

Where is Jak, anyway? His dinner's getting all cold and eaten.

 

[sublime085]

PSN or BR release? Curious why there's no "Future" in the title.

I would also like to know the answers to these questions.

 

[wotter]

Coming this fall omg

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

No translation Blim? ; ;

Edit: Beaten

 

[revolverjgw]

What did the ''Future'' in "R&C Future" actually mean? It seemed like the other games

 

[sensi97]

Day one !

 

[Septimus]

Full game or another episodic content pack?

 

[bridegur]

Time travel sounds like a great way to mix up the environments. Hopefully it does the same for gameplay.

 

[sullyj]

 

[gofreak]

Wonky translation, or does this mean something interesting?

Ratchet & Clank ™: A Crack in Time gives you the possibility to play your own animation generated by computer on your PS3

Huh?

Anyways, I'm very interested to see if there doing any new stuff with this..and what it looks like too of course..

 

[Samara]

Cool. Les gosses et moi ont adore
