[geoflcl]

Insomniac Games president Ted Price and studio manager Chad Dezem out of their North Carolina office took the stage during Sony's Gamescom press conference to announce a new PlayStation 3 title, Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One.

The game focuses on cooperative play this time around. Players can take control of Dr. Nefarious, Ratchet, Clank, and Captain Qwark. It includes drop-in/drop-out, offline/online gameplay. Teammates can work together, even using weapons between players.

The game also includes four player puzzles, with things like a Giant cannon all the players have to work together to operate.

No release date was provided.

Neat, I guess. There's been lots of Co-op games lately, eh? Seems like a weird choice for a run n' gun franchise like Ratchet and Clank, but Insomniac Games has proven to know what they're doing.

Hmm....sounds intriguing. But then it'd be a nightmare playing with my bunch, it'd be a case of dodging friendly fire from a RYNO all damn day.

Seems cool. Right now I'm playing Tools of Destruction and I love it.

I remember playing Ratchet & Clank : Gladiator and the third one on PS2 with my friend like 6 hours a day (this was about 4-5 years ago, didnt have PS2 back then), the series is awesome but PS2 seems rather dead now

Deadlocked* ;p

I've played all the PS2 games, but sadly, have yet to start on the two PS3 ones.

Deadlocked was my favorite game in the series. Others said it was the worst.

You get to play as Dr. Nefarious? I thought he was evil.

Could be like a "new evil that threatens the universe" type of storyline where they have to put aside their differences and shit like that.

Storyline:

"We find our heroes in the midst of a dilemma of intergalactic proportions when Dr. Nefarious’ latest evil plan goes awry leaving Ratchet, Clank, Qwark and Nefarious himself caught in the snare of a powerful and mysterious machine. Begrudgingly, the Galaxy’s biggest do-gooders and its most sinister criminal must work together to discover a means of escape in this action-packed installment of the Ratchet & Clank series."

Makes sense, I was worried it wouldn't have a deep storyline for a second there. I really can't wait for this, Ratchet and Clank is my favourite game series of all time, it's mixture of comedy, action and family fun makes the series everyone should have!

So I'm guessing that what happened in future now holds no bounds over the series?

of course not, they want to make money thats why they churn another ratchet and clank game every year!

 

[FireGrey]

That's it!I've lost all respect for Ratchet and Clank now!
I'm just gonna stick to the 'Real' Series...
You know, before all this Future series crap...
