Some key things they said,
Though not quite done yet, it most definitely impressed us with a fun, varied experience that appears to be just what we were looking for.
Variety will come from the meaty chunk of gameplay Insomniac is cooking up, which offers a return to the game's platforming roots, as well as minigames, space combat, and unique uses for the Sixaxis controller. Finally, the spectacle will roll Jerry Bruckheimer-style with a bevy of special effects, detailed visuals, and rich animation that the team hopes will match the quality found in CG movies
The two focused on all the elements that end up delivering the game's impressive, polished look, even in its unfinished state. While some elements stand out more than others--such as the higher polygon count, which produces better-looking character models and environments--the more subtle ones definitely deserve some scrutiny.The biggie is obviously animation. Not only are Ratchet and Clank moving more smoothly than they ever have before, they come packing a host of very cool animations for when they're in motion, hit, or even idling.
Other areas, such as the sprawling Coruscant-esque Metropolis or the dark Zordoom Prison, all have their own unique looks and gameplay. It all feels good so far.
Control in the game is as tight as it's ever been, and should be a snap to ease into for newcomers or longtime fans. The Sixaxis support isn't too intrusive. Besides the new stuff we saw, other gadgets include the visicopter and tornado gun, both of which also require some movement on your part while playing.
The game's audio serves as a comfortable complement to the lunacy, with a good mix of effects, voice, and music.Voice is sounding stellar thanks to the talented voice cast, which includes the original actors from the previous games, as well as newcomers who fit in snugly with the veterans
Based on what we played, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction is poised to bring the series to the PS3 in style. The adventure offers the rock-solid gameplay, boatloads of gadgets, and humor that have been staples of the series. The visuals make smart use of the PS3 hardware, showcasing an imaginative art style and a healthy dose of personality. With the platformer genre currently almost nonexistent on the PlayStation 3, Ratchet and Clank should be just what the doctor ordered for fans of the series and those hungering for some imaginative platforming action. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction is slated to hit the PS3 this October. Look for more on the game in the weeks to come.
So it looks good,sounds good,plays good,is very fun,lots of weapons, and is a long game.
Can't wait:)
