LMAO, go to the blog, they just put a funny video of animation progression. Well, the end is funny but the whole piece is really cool.

The final version is pretty funny.

 

[besada]

I had no interest in this, but I'm starting to get a boner.

 

[dabig2]

Woooo, impressive shot. I especially loved that pirate one too. So many diverse levels. Most importantly of all it just looks...fun

 

[fatigues_gasolini]

That video preview with those new weapons is awesome. Definitely day one for me.

 

[Holtz]

OMG, it's so beautiful. I love this series.

There's now an interview video on Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/...y=6176798&part=rss&tag=gs_movies&subj=6176798

Must. Download. Faster!

 

[TEH-CJ]

Seriously this gets me excited on how resistance 2 will look like

its like intergalactic difference in the engine improvements

that probably didn't make any sense wat-so-ever but meh

 

[Nostromo]

I'm speechless, Insomniac delivers again!
Will have to buy a PS3 now..damn :lol

 

[TEH-CJ]

Insomniac are the best developers out there imho

every single game they release is AAA quality

 

[Wollan]

For me all it's all about the weapon-tech board and earning xp and such. These are gameplay mechanics that I truly enjoy beyond the instant action & visuals.

The COOLEST thing ever about R&C is the weapons and how many times you can upgrade each one....i swear i loved those little flying robots that would help you shoot shit. Oh gawd...when i upgraded those things and had 4 of them flying around me at all times...i just felt so awesome. The 2nd best thing about R&C is the arenas....i hope they dont ditch that part of the game. I loved it so much. Just not enough to warrant it being a full blown game though.

Oh and thank god, they have anis. filtering!!

 

[nelsonroyale]

um wow...the new video interview is fantastic...the space sequences look flat out incredible....day one

 

[Raist]

Hmmmm that snow looks familiar

 

[Odrion]

Yeeesssss

Insomniac, how do you make these incredible games in such a short time?

They're in ur cellz, haxing ur SPUz

 

[antiloop]

Haven't played a Ratched & Clank game before but this one sure looks pretty.

 

[Thunderbear]

I still think it looks gorgeous but the flying sections and the dinosaur type planet thing looked a bit underwhelming. That's the only bit of negativity from me though, overall I think the game looks amazing.

 

[Insane Metal]

:lol :lol

 

[pswii60]

Ice Planet looks like the best thing ever, but this shot doesn't. Where's the shadowing? Did they forget to turn the textures on? 2D cut-out trees in background, flat marsh/water texture and low-poly cliffs. Sorry, but this is the worst shot we've seen by far, not the best. Ice Planet looks like an entirely different game as it is far better.

 

[MoeB]

so cute

Uh, there is shadowing in that shot.

It is just very soft shadowing, which would be consistent with the hazy atmospheric conditions which are clearly present. Look under the middle dinosaur, and you can clearly see his shadow.

But you are missing the most important thing in that shot, dood... Clank has transformed into a freaking HANG GLIDER!

Glider = AWESOME. 100% of the time.

 

[Xater]

There you go:

 

[Android18a]

I want more crazy vertical levels like that city one. Not enough platformers are vertical.

 

[Raist]

There you go:

Excellent :lol

 

[J-Rzez]

OMG, it's so beautiful. I love this series.

I don't usually quote pics, but man, the art is just unreal in the series now... Still photo's look epic...

In stills the Jurassic Planet doesn't look too consistent with the other shots right now, but give them the benefit of the doubt - the first shots we saw of this game were from a similar jungle planet. This level may not be at the same stage of completion as others.

 

[Lince]

Insomniac + PS3 = a match made in heaven

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

October 23rd Release date confirmed!

Man, the PS3 is looking more and more attractive with each passing day. I may just have to give in and fork over my hard earned $500+ for this thing...

Damn...Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavenly Sword, Unreal Tournament III (2007 early release , mods, kb&m, more maps, etc), Uncharted, and now Ratchet and Clank are all looking fantastic.

Damn...I need to redo my budget =(

 

[Stat Flow]

October 23rd? FUCK NO.

Man. I don't have enough money for all these amazing games. =(

Nah, I think in motion it will look great....in almost every game Ive ever seen, some shots come out looking inconsistant, but in motion, its a dfferent story

 

[gofreak]

Hopefully it's not old.. a Kotaku hands-on preview from the same media event:

Fucking tell me about it, man...

Between about ten 360 games i'm getting this fall, I'm also getting a PS3 and like 3 or 4 games on that...so i'm screwed man...fucking screwed.

(I also have tuition to come up with....FUCKING GAMING IS RUINING MY LIFE!)

There should be a caption that says "Yes, we know we are awesome, but hopefully this makes us more awesome"

You know, when the pull the rug out from under the Groovinator and it turns out to be a weapon you get to use maybe 5 times in the game, there's going to be a lot of bitching after all the times they've demonstrated it.

 

[forgeforsaken]

But you are missing the most important thing in that shot, dood... Clank has transformed into a freaking HANG GLIDER!

Glider = AWESOME. 100% of the time.

Actually I wasn't really a fan of the glider portions in Going Commando.

 

[BuddyC]

Less of a glider, more of a "can actually flap his wings so you can fly indefinitely and control your altitude" thing.

 

[tanod]

In October, R&C solely owns my wallet. Folklore am cry.

Spoiler

I only have the budget to buy a game a month and the time to play games at a pace of about 1 every 2 months.

Ratchet & Clank: Future

"Awesome - delivered in its pure distilled form"

"Now with 40% more awesome!!"

 

[TekunoRobby]

Gaming Age's servers went down so I don't know when my preview will be up.

I'm wishing Jim all the best of luck with the problem. Luckily it seems like we'll be able to get it fixed.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Shitload of new gamplay videos on GameTrailers.com now. Woot, go Insomaniac, Go!

You're like Namco for Playstation brand now. The good, old PS1 era Namco not the new whored one .

 

[frankthurk]

Looking good, quite good.

 

[nicholasbrutal]

If that's how we roll:

Insomniac was very clear that Sargasso (the dino planet someone was bitching about) was not complete. Cut 'em some slack.
