Excited? Oh yes you are…
Get ready for time-bending fun and intergalactic mayhem with Ratchet and Clank™: A Crack in Time
Ever wanted to travel back in time? This Autumn Ratchet and Clank are back on PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) in the UK like you’ve never seen them before – and they’re on a mission to save the future!! Get ready another round of intergalactic chaos with Ratchet and Clank™: A Crack In Time, the latest addition to Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s multi-million selling Ratchet and Clank™ franchise.
Concluding the events that began in Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction and Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time will answer some of the franchise fans’ biggest questions. After discovering that lovable robot Clank’s disappearance was engineered by Dr. Nefarious, the Wrench-swinging Ratchet races to save his best friend. Along the way, both will finally uncover the hidden truth behind their origins, and discover their ultimate destinies. As the duo come closer to reuniting, they’ll have to ask themselves the biggest question of all: Do Ratchet and Clank’s destinies lie with each other? Or is it finally time for the universe’s greatest duo to separate for good?
If you haven’t played Ratchet & Clank before and are new to this successful franchise, prepare to be immersed in hilarious action-packed galactic capers and discover how time travel will entertain you in ways never before experienced.
Powered by Insomniac Games’ fourth-generation PS3 technology, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time will continue to bring the experience of playing your own computer generated animation movie to PS3. Expect all the laughs and witty banter of a Ratchet and Clank title, as you enjoy all-new space gameplay that gives players the opportunity to engage in space battles, explore the surrounding star system, and discover hidden items and collectables… You’ll come head-to-head with a brand-new cast of baddies, and some old favourites, and obliterate them with cool new weapons and abilities.
Get ready for a brand new time-bending, laugh-out-loud adventure when Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time arrives in stores in Autumn 2009. It’s the newest addition to the smash-hit Ratchet and Clank franchise, with eight titles across PlayStation®2, PS3™ and PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) platforms. With Ratchet and Clank, the future is never certain!

Hopefully this time there will not be a delay between a Blu-ray release of the game in Europe & mainland UK like “…Future: Quest for Booty”.
By the time the non-downloadable version was available all the momentum from “…Future: Tools of Destruction” had gone.
A Limited Edition Triple Blu-ray game set with Ratchet & Clank figurines would be welcome… but I guess only the US & Japan will see these.
PS. This weeks’ European Store update is live. No Playable Demo of “Burn Zombie Burn” though
BFN,

E-ROLE were you being sarcastic there? It was very obvious, to me at least, that R&C was coming in 2009. In the US there’s even a competition to design a weapon that will be featured in the game!
I never played R&C until I got Tools of Destruction on PS3 and I really enjoyed it! I also enjoyed the downloadable Quest for Booty game as well. I think it got critised a bit unfairly when it launched (but then doesn’t everything connected to PlayStation these days?), the main gripe people had is that the devs resisted the urge to shoehorn in a co-op mode given there were two characters (regardless how inappropriate such a move would have been for the story and character controls!).
It will be interesting to see whether they do any sort of online element in the next game. I’m also interested to see what new weapon and control elements they introduce. One thing’s for certain though, I bet that their ‘ultimate destinies’ mentioned in that press release will be revealed to them at the end of the game - and you’ll have to find out what they are in Autumn 2011 release of Ratchet & Clank X!

Yey! I’ll get this one pretty sure. Enjoyed Tools of Destruction.. I still have to pick up Quest for Booty though.

I need to get back to finishing R&C-ToD, but Killzone 2 is about the only thing I have time to touch lately. Thanks for the quick half game tonight lads.

Brilliant, can’t wait. Might have to go back and finish that second playthrough of ToD in preparation.
