if I ever get a the ps3, this will be why.

Lee3dee · May 2007

when the ps3 drops in price to something more reasonable, I know i'll get the new ratchet game. the ps2 games were awesome!

bounchfx · May 2007

yaeh Ps3 is finally getting some good looking games, however the price tag is just as ugly.

ps3 + 3 games = way too much $$$

Davision3D · May 2007

yeah, for me its the coolest looking PS3 game.

killingpeople · May 2007

looks awesome, i love the ratchet and clank games.

Xenobond · May 2007

kitties!!!
^_^

McIlroy · May 2007

Ohhh pretty

Jeff Parrott · May 2007

I really like the Ratchet games too. This definitely looks impressive. I love the grindrail section leading up to the boss battle. Things like this, Little Big Planet, Warkhawk being $30, and a few others should really help the PS3 this fall.

ebagg · May 2007

I'm starting to warm up to the PS3, especially when I saw that they are going cheaper than retail on ebay. I will still wait, but this game is one very good argument towards a purchase in the next few years....

Marcus Dublin · May 2007

I wish more studios were making games like this, sigh. Looks pretty hot though, I'm anxious to see more varied environments!

i hate you and your gay game, hero of mine

looks awesome, as expected

SouL · May 2007

"OMG WHERE ARE THE NORMAL MAPS. I ONLY SEE SPEC. THEIR CHARACTERS AREN'T EVEN THAT HIGH POLY. I CAN SEE ALL THE JAGGED EDGES ON THE CHARACTERS. THIS GAME LOOKS TOO CARTOONY. I WISH IT LOOKED MORE LIKE GEARS OF WAR. AHAHAHAHAHALOLOLOLSHUTUP."

EarthQuake · May 2007

Soul: Think beyond the pixels man, one day you'll understand this whole normal mapping thing.

arshlevon · May 2007

actually soul, most of ratchet's fanbase is in Korea, and the Korean ps3 only has a geforce 3 in it so we had to go for those specs.

thanks for the comments, the game is really fun too.
more comming soon.

Rhinokey · May 2007

i loved clank 1 and 2, this game will be one i will eventualy have to play. so far its just this game, and little big world. so will need a few more games i want to play before i ponydo

rawkstar · May 2007

this looks really good. i mean... really ... really good

arshlevon · Jul 2007

NEW SCREENS!

there are some more here
http://www.1up.com/do/media?cId=3157407&sec=IMAGES

i really like those guys in the bottom pic, if you cant tell its a mechanized suit being controlled by a goldfish in a tank of water for a head.

hah there was this huge thread on neogaf where everyone was saying that our game is not real time and all prerendered..

everything is taken from in game, nothing is uprezed, we don't even pre render our cinematics.
just to set the record straight..
oh and yes it runs at 60 frames

Josh_Singh · Jul 2007

SOOOOO Bad ass! So did you do anything in these? what do they have you doing over there?

arshlevon · Jul 2007

they haven't released any screens of my stuff. i did all the enemy ships in space combat, and the bosses for that. there is one space combat shot, but not of my stuff. i have also done a few unlockable characters and a few ambient characters.
i didn't come on until the end of the project so i only got to work a bit on it here and there..
they actually hired me for something else..........

i just really like the look of the game and cant help but pimp it when i get the chance..

Ninjas · Jul 2007

This game is looking really great. That is cool that you worked on the space combat. That has always been one of my favorite parts of the series.

notman · Jul 2007

Damn, that environment looks f'n amazing. I love the looks of the game. I hope the gameplay matches up

I didn't realize those were goldfish though

Still cool, just wouldn't have known what they were until you told me.

Fuse · Jul 2007

you know .. i sincerely hope that this game and mario galaxy sells very well .. enough to make other developers/publishers to take notice and embrace the seemlngly forgotten genre of platformers if not at least for the sake of profits...

we really need some good platformers..

okkun · Jul 2007

That is just awesome! Now they just have to drop the Ps3 another $100 and I'll be fine buying it just for this

Cthogua · Jul 2007

I've loved every Ratchet n Clank game so far (that I've played...haven't played the PSP one), and I look forward to loving this one as well. I think RnC is easily the best platform franchise ever. The humor, the style, and no nonsense blow the shit out of everything fun definately makes it one of my favorite series of games ever.

IronHawk · Jul 2007

This game looks Awesome! I haven't played any of the series yet but I am going to get one of them for the PS2 on the way home and start.

arshlevon · Jul 2007

cool, if your going to get one, get up your arsenal. its the most refined. deadlock is not really a ratchet game, more of a shooter, not so much a platformer.

Tulkamir · Jul 2007

Looking like sexy stuff Arsh, never played any of the series, but those screenshots make me want to start.

Loving the art style.

IronHawk · Jul 2007

Thanks Dude. I'll grab that one for sure then.

odium · Jul 2007

My eyes are blind! Not used to so much damn colour in a game, where are all the greys, and the browns?!

Looks great, but I dont have a PS3 and don't intend on buying one so I'll probably miss out.

Slum · Jul 2007

I hate to say this, but I've never played any of the games. I've always loved the look of them, and they look tons of fun, but I didn't own a PS2. Luckily my roommate has a PS3 and will probably get this, so I'm excited. This is the one game on PS3 that I'm actually *really* looking forward to playing.

killingpeople · Jul 2007

i really like how the characters have taken on a slightly more realistic light

that last screen shot of ratchet looks great.

McIlroy · Jul 2007

Man that is one beautiful looking game and the character work is insane ..would sooo love to work Insomniac Games @!

Jeff Parrott · Jul 2007

This is looking great Arsh! Not as good as it looked on the PSP, but well, you know.

Seriously though this is one that I can't wait to get a hold of. Enemy design is great what I've seen so far.

Ferg · Jul 2007

Goddamn this game is beautiful. I've always loved RC's mix for cartoon, scifi and fantasy styles, and you guys have definitely kept up with my expectations for the next generation of the franchise. Very unique, very solid, and I'm sure it's a blast to work on. Shame Sony has an exclusive deal for it, I probably wont ever get to play it if it never goes beyond the ps3.

I'll watch gameplay vids and drool, though.

Uly · Jul 2007

I have to say, this game is looking better and better with each passing hour. Nails its style to such a tee. With the $100 price drop in the PS3, I'd consider getting one if some more games of this caliber hit the list.

arshlevon · Jul 2007

haha sorry to dig this back up, but i have been reading everything the press has been writing about ratchet, and i just stumbled across this and its probably the best press reaction to a game ever.

Even when absurdly rail sliding away from whatever cartoonish explosion I can't even remember escaping from because I was doing my best not to vomit a rainbow, with a bazillion things going on in the background, I felt as if I were just pleasantly existing in some thrill ride of a world.

okay the new trailer is out if anyone wants some eyecandy.

Jeff Parrott · Jul 2007

Quit Arsh! I already bought a PS3 and have this reserved. You win!

I really can't wait to check this game out in person.

Joshua Stubbles · Jul 2007

I bought my PS3 last week as well. This game is already reserved

Emil Mujanovic · Jul 2007

Dang Arsh, great looking game dude. Mad props to you and the team for developing such a stunning game.

SuperOstrich · Jul 2007

The animation in this game is simply the best in the industry. Mind boggling. Great work on everything else too. If I had a PS3, this would be a must-have.

spacemonkey · Jul 2007

hadnt seen it before today and I watched the vid, PIMP!

arshlevon · Jul 2007

thanks guys, yeah everyone here really knows their shit, its pretty humbling when you feel everyone you work with is better than you. and if you think this looks good, you should see whats coming up....
i don't really blame anyone for not having a ps3, i still don't have one, but fortunately we make the only games i would be playing on it anyway, so for now i don't really feel like i am missing anything.

notman · Jul 2007

It's gotta be pretty inspiring to hear people choosing to buy the system based on a game you had a hand in also

I've heard/read similar comments in several other places, so it's not just friends here. Congrats

IronHawk · Jul 2007

Arsh
I'm loving Up Your Arsenal!

vahl · Jul 2007

that game looks awesome Sam, congrats to you and all the people bringing this to life.

color ftw!

Spark · Jul 2007

Awesome game Arsh, though you guys need to also make it for the 360! As I don't want to spend anymore money on another system:( But if your going to play hardball, then I guess I might have to buy one:P Looking forward to some of the work you did on this one, post when you can!
