Ratchet and Clank vs. Futuristic shooters, should devs take note?

Not that I'm saying the R&C series is the best or anything, but I think games like Gears of War, Killzone, Halo, futuristic shooters in general could learn a thing of 2 from the game's arsenal. Looking back, the amount of weaponaries, gadgets, devices, and style armors introduced in this series could really add variety and inspire creativity.

Some of the weapons and gadget seem like they could actually fit in some of these titles with a bit of modification ofcourse. Anyone agree?

With that in mind, if you could name one weapon, gadget, or devices in R&C that couldtailor to any shooter, what would it be?

Charge Boosts for Halo

Drone Device for Killzone

Tornado Launcher for Gears

1) What the hell is a "Charge Boosts" 2) Gears and Killzone could use some extra creativity in their weapons. But I think Halo is just fine, you have a wide array of weaponry and types at your disposal.R3FURBISHED

I wish Insomniac would take note and introduce some bad @$$ and wacky/odd weapons in Resistance 3

not before they conclude the story with R3.

tbh I find the campaign in resistance 1 and 2 to be as good as just about any other fps.

Ironically their first game was a FPS.:P

I think the biggest problem with the resistance series is it just did not separate itself from the rest of the shooters out there enough.

Well they seem to be putting more work into 3.

They where not happy with the response/sales of 2.

Its getting a longer development.

That and their friendly rival Naughty Dog upped the gamewith U2. This was the first time I can remember a Naughty Dog game eclipsed a Insomniac game at release.

Give more weapon variety. Give a new Hexen too!!

Well, I don't think Halo necessarilly needs a gun that turns bad guys into penguins. :P

In all seriousness, I think one of the problems with crazier weapons is that they are more difficult to balance for multiplayer.
