Has there been anything written about the new shooting controls?

I remember someone mentioning that there is a new hybrid between the third person shooter style of the last PS3 game and the normal lock-on of past games. In all the videos, it seems like this is what's being used. Can you still choose to use the third person shooter style controls?

 

[DeadGzuz]

Can't wait for the game, great job OP. Avatar is changed!

 

[BradleyUK]

Great job on this thread OP.

I have this pre-ordered and can not wait to play this game!

 

[noah111]

I missed this thread, great OP for a first, actually hadn't seen some of those weapons you posted either.

 

[theignoramus]

So when do the demos release?
Sometime next week?

Yeah, at least one should be up by next week.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Shame we have to wait a week longer in the UK then was originally scheduled. I'm looking forward to playing this. Loved ToD very much and was my first Ratchet.

Won't download the demos.. if I can dare to resist.

 

[Costanza]

Sooo excited for this. I need a new HD 3D platformer. Badly.

And no one makes them better than Insomniac.

Location spoilers?

And Costanza, I feel the exact same. These kinds of games of such high caliber are far and few.

I keep waiting for Sony/Insomniac/whoever to discount Quest for Booty, but it's never happening is it? =\

Where are you located? Amazon has it for $9.99 if you're in the US.

There's three control schemes: Standard (where the camera follows the lock-on when shooting, sort of), Action (the shooting works pretty much like a fps, you move the character with the left stick, controls the aim/camera with the right) and Classic (which is the same as earlier Ratchet & Clank-games).

There's an embargo for reviews until the 22nd of october, so I can't go into any details about the game yet.

 

[KGKK]

Hell yeah! Can't wait for this game next week!

 

[Movement]

I have a feeling this game will be ignored just due to the excitement of U2, Demons souls, Brutal Legend and ODST. It's a shame but day 1 here!

 

[SamBishop]

I'm maybe 2/3 through the game, and we can't do full impressions until the Thursday after next but... well, welcome back into my Gold Club, Insomniac. I missed you after the replay-less Q4B and the horribly busted R2 experience, but you've re-ensnared me. I'll be playing this game for months.

I re-love you guys all over again.

Not surprised, ACiT looks like it's going to be "Going Commando" good. So hyped!

Guess I'll take this one.

Nice! Can't wait.

Great Demon's Souls review by the way. (IGN)

 

[BatmanX]

Anybody knows when the embargo will be lifted?

 

[Althoran]

At first I didn't know if it would be good but after seeing some previews I think this will be great fun.

I don't know if I'll be able to get it this year since so many games are coming out but I will definitely buy this.

So it is good as Tools of Destruction huh? ^__^

October 22nd

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I am planning on playing this on Christmas morning with my daughter. Can't wait!!!

 

[anddo0]

Nice job OP! Can't wait for space exploration mode.

I am planning on playing this on Christmas morning with my daughter. Can't wait!!!

My nephew loves these games. I've played Quest for Booty at least 8 times upon his request. Should be good times

Not trying to be rude or anything, but if R2 was such a horribly busted experience, why did you guys score it the same as Uncharted 2 and LBP and higher than Demon's Souls, Bioshock, Oblivion, Fallout 3, COD4, Killzone 2 and plenty of other games?

 

[DeadGzuz]

Maybe, but it's been higher on the Amazon ranks than FM3 and L4D2 for months.

[Nemo]

A fine thread for the best platformer of the year. My most anticipated game. Platforming stuff sounds promising

 

[Excko]

I'd like to make this one mine, if it hasn't been claimed yet.

who knows. R2 is still weird that way. A vocal minority screaming about broken gameplay and God knows what else when it was highly reviewed and scored. There's nothing wrong with R2, but some people will never get the burr out of their ass.

[wouwie]

I hope this game is going to do well. Hopefully, it won't be overlooked due to Uncharted 2, Demon Souls, Modern Warfare 2 and others. It has been rather low profile compared to other games.

I can't wait though. It's going to be an awesome game. Seems to have a lot of replayability value this time. I hope there are a lot of different environments in the game.

 

[beast786]

HUGE Thanks to BruceLeeRoy for helping me out with the banners. You're awesome man.

Hopefully I did ok with my first Official thread

Yes he is... Yes he is

And excellent job man, You got me hyped. !!11!!!!!

time for some platforming goodness

 

[brandonh83]

So amped for this game, traded in Street Fighter IV because I never play it and that piece of shit Halo 3 ODST so I only owe $15 on it now

Being between jobs sucks, wasn't sure if I'd be able to pay for it after getting Uncharted 2. It's nice to have a few expendable games to help me out.

 

[Robot 492]

Looks like all the avatars have been claimed. I'll make some more later

If you live in the SoCal area or don't mind driving/ flying/ hitchhiking - sign up for the Q&A and Tour! Not many spots, so cross your fingers that the PlayStation Blog will actually load for you - it's getting hammered.

So here's my big question: I'm in the Army, and getting Vacay time and buying the ticket will be a great feat for me, but provided I do, would there be any way to ensure that I can get into the event? Granted I do have the great advantage of being used to my mornings starting at 5am, but I'd rather not look like a psycho camping out in front of the Auditorium (assuming it's anything like the last Community Day, which was amazing).

 

[Stantron]

Thinking about playing Quest for Booty before this releases. Amazon has it for $10. Anyone know if the $5 off promo works for Amazon PSN download games too?

I'm not sure if it works or not, but it's totally worth $10. It's a great bite sized game, and getting a 4 hour story for 10 bucks is definitely worth it!

Yep, just used it on exactly the same thing.

Order Total: $4.99

 

[UnluckyKate]

With their 18 months cycle, I'm afraid they will put more action than plateforming (far less expensive, resource and time wise) but I'll buy it anyway. I would prefer a action/plateforme ratio near as in Quest in Booty, but as long as it's not more unbalanced than ToD, I'm fine.

I hope they put in more action than ToD and quest for booty. They've done all the platforming variations I think they can. There are so many crazy weapons and I feel like they are being wasted when I have to run around with magnet boots for the nth time.

The redesigned space segments are built around the spherical worlds introduced in Going Commando, which are platform heavy. And it sounds like the space section is basically one big area to roam with a good number of these spherical worlds to hit. They mentioned in a recent vid interview that they created some deliberately advanced difficulty worlds there.
