Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction Official Thread

Hey jstevenson, I got the review version on debug and the game crashes when going to the third planet in challenge mode. Do you or other Insomniacs know anything about this bug...?

Podcast is this Thursday... probably going to do at least one November episode, maybe two. I've been too busy to completely plot it out yet. Oh, and Allgeier is running all over the place, so we don't know when we're recording... heh.

We'll then come back next year once we're ready to discuss a new project and once we're all good and rested here in this corner of Insomniac (I'm taking the last screenshots for the campaign now... whee).

That new project better be resistance 2 :(

Well have a nice holiday ;)

Thanks for making awesome games guys, I just finished Resistance yesterday and it made me want to play Ratchet badly (will be my first one!).

Post production or Pre-production?

The review code isn't quite the final code --- I believe we knew of a bug like that.

The concept art and the engine team are working hard on the next project right?

Never fear, taking post-production time is a standard part of our year, and people go in shifts to ensure work flow isn't disrupted. :D

So how would you feel about starting an internet rumor right now with some hints? Doesn't that sound awesome?

I agree. Throwing rumors just before vacations is like one of the best things in life.


btw, what was all this discussion about karting in the last podcast ? I felt like I missed something <_<
 
finish the demo, it was fun, looked great.

did notice some slow down, the frame rate seemed to drop several times,
noticed it more than I would have liked to.

the combat was fun

i liked the railing

demo was unexpectedly short


there was some problems with the A.I., I would go attack some baddies, but if I retreated, they wouldn't follow me, this happened right at the start of the demo

im looking foward to renting this from gamefly

i rented one of the R&C PS2 sequels and really liked it, but I had to many PS3 games to play.
 
Ahh the Ratchet thread. How I missed posting in thee while banned. :D

JS, you should hold some kind of event here on GAF the day before R&C comes out :) and give away those awesome posters you gave away at PAX.
 
Just wanted to comment how incredible this game sounds as well... Between voices, soundfx, and music, it's incredibly refined in 7.1 goodness... So crisp and clear as well... It's totally immersive in the city with the traffic and bullhorn annoucements on Ratchet's where-abouts... This is one of the most incredible sounding games ever... I thought Resistance was good, this is even better...

JStevenson:
When can I get some mp3/wav files of all the Groovitron tracks? I want them for my cellphone ringtones and such :P
 
I have played the demo quite a bit and I have still not managed to spot or create slowdown. Well I might not have noticed it perhaps. I did start noticing aliasing as I looked for them. Then I couldn't unsee them. It's very micro and minor though and that's what I get for looking for them.

Replays
Something that allows slight mods. Call it Morge.
Online Co Op
Locked framerate like the first
More colour
Better music

Just in case you're making a sequel to something and are stuck for ideas.

When the fuck is Orange Box coming out on PS3? If my PC was working Portal would have been mine. Waiting for it is excruciating, especially with all of the memes floating around.

Seriously man, WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN!?!
Don't you dare tell me.

When people say slowdown and Ratchet and Clank in the same sentence, they mean 50fps instead of 60fps. TTP approves of the frame rate. That should lay all frame rate concerns to rest.
 
I don't know if this has been answered or even can be...but approximately when will Insomniac announce it's next game?

Within a month of Ratchet's release?

Within 2007?

Q1 2008?

Something vague would be fine...I'd just like an idea of when we can expect to hear.

And that was what...3 months after launch?

It's going to be hard to wait that long!

Well hey, The Full Moon show didn't exist back then.

What the hell are they gonna talk about for 3 months if they won't announce their next game sooner? ;)
