PSN Update 10/11/07- Everyday Shooter, Ratchet and Clank demo, etc.

I'm really looking forward to playing the Ratchet demo tonight.

EGM not-so-cryptically said this about the game: In taking a step back, Ratchet has taken a big step forward.

I'm assuming this means the new game is similar to the original and a huge departure from the underwhelming Deadlocked. In other words, more platforming, same awesome, evolving weapons.

Games:

-Conan demo
-NHL 2K8 demo
-Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction demo
-Everyday Shooter - $9.99

I'm actually really excited to see the Uncharted Behind The Scenes vid, the last one was really cool.  It is going to take forever to download all of today's stuff.  Good thing I got the Orange Box yesterday.

Yay a ratchet demo! Oh wait I have had it for weeks. :Pdvader654

I knew that for years.

Great news I'm dling the R&C demo now I have to wait to get Everyday shooter my HD is almost full. I will have to delete some stuff. But I am going to get it it looks great! Can't wait to play R&C!!!!_Bear

Everyday Shooter is really small, something like 38 MB, so you don't have to clear a whole lot of space.

Everyday Shooter is pretty incredible... So far this is my favorite of these kinds of games... it is much more laid back, and visually stunning.rragnaar

I don't know if I'd put it above Super Stardust, buts its totally different vibe makes it a worthy companion piece. The graphics are just plain freaky (especially that stage with the expanding eye which is always looking at you).

I was happy to see the Ratchet demo when I turned on my PS3 a while ago. I'm downloading it now.....hopefully it won't take forever.

After I see what Ratchet is all about I'm going to download Everyday Shooter. I've been waiting patiently to play this game. I think the fact that 1 guy made it makes me intrigued to see how the game is.

Is SSHD the game that's similar to Geometry Wars but better? or is it Flow?

R&C is just like the first R&C except in HD. Considering the ps2 R&C titles already have very high visual production values (which did wear off pretty fast), the ps3 version doesn't really seem like much of an improvement. Everything still looks, feels, and plays the same. banjobear_basic

Hey thanks, I'm going to get it now!

It really is top notch, I had to play the demo one more time before I go to bed. Insomniac sure knows what's up.rragnaar

Agreed. Can't wait!

Yeah, I played through the R&C demo disc twice earlier in the week, and I downloaded the demo again and played it through again tonight. The download has nicer graphics than the disc (not surprising as the disc is an older build of the game).

I'm really looking forward to playing the Ratchet demo tonight.

More platforming is just what I would like to see.

I've posted my Ratchet impressions before so I will skip that and get into the other demo... Conan. What a sad sad ripoff that game is. No imagination at all, it tries so bad to be a GoW clone. It looks pretty, thats about all I can say, other than that very generic. May turn out to be ok, but whats the point of playing an ok game when you can play so much better.

That it is, yet I still enjoyed it. Those last three guys were unexplainably hard but it was fun trying to beat them. I think it would eventually get dull though, so that was the only thing keeping me from renting it.

I only had time for one playthrough of Ratchet last night, but it felt like classic Ratchet amped up on steroids. Insomniac is getting very good at things like ambient explosions and set piece work. I feel tha they stuck to the same formula, but amped all the ancillary things going on around you to create a more epic setting for the game.

It feels very familiar, yet new. The graphics are very nice. The pacing is spot-on. The controls work well (although I could've done without the Sixaxis bit at the end). The weapons (the hallmark of any Insomniac game) are perfect (I upgraded the grenade on my playthrough).

So essentially it's Ratchet with next-gen graphics. But what really helps this game is the epic illusion created by things toppling over and explosions going off that aren't directly related to what Ratchet is doing. It gives the game a much welcomed sense of scale.

Very nice.
