Insomniac and their weapons. Saw Disc gun a rip off? i beg to differ

Earlier today, we had a thread blaming insominac of ripping off of Epic lancer weapon. sad thing is TC and all the other GEOW fans didnt know this, but Ratchet and Clank (same creators of RFOM, )already had this saw disc (blades) shooting gun in a previous games series called Ratchet and Clank. so for your viewing pleasure, i present Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction Weapons video. enjoy :)

btw the first 20 sec of hte video, you will see the Saw (blades)disc shooting gun being used :)

also fast foward to 2:20 you see it being used again :)

Well, I suppose some people never gave RATCHET a chance, despite the universal and critical acclaim. So, I suppose there are fanboys that have played only 360 games, and like to rip on NON-360 games every chance they get (Although their are PS3 fanboys that do the same, just not in as many numbers).

If you are right TC, they just never knew about Ratchet.

I would like to see such a hilarious thread though.

To those who missed the topic in question: Link.

The Splicer and Lancer aren't similar at all. That topic never should have existed. :/

Yeah, the Splicer is really an M rated version of the saw blade gun in Ratchet.

The design and idea has been seen before, though. Unreal Tournament and Liandri Conflict both had it.

Insomniac worked on Ratchet and Clank games... seriously they've come up with some good guns through the course of those games.
