Insomniac lifts the lid of the duo's next-gen debut in a US publication...

Announced by Insomniac Games' CEO Ted Price at GDC 2006, the PlayStation3 debut of Ratchet & Clank has largely been kept under wraps for nearly twelve months, with the studio focusing on Resistance: Fall of Man.

However, with the release of the game formerly known as I-8, the team are now working on bringing Ratchet & Clank to the next-gen system. Today, the studio has revealed a snippet of information on the title to US-based 1UP, confirming the full name of the instalment as Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction.

Speaking to US publication EGM, Brian Allgeier, Design Director at Insomniac said: "The name Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction works on many levels. It signals a new era for the franchise, ties into the game's story, and includes one of our signature subtitle double entendres."

I love all the R & C's,   the only one i didn't care for was Deadlocked.... I love having both characters in the game, which, of course in that one, they wern't both in it.  I've beat all the other(older) ones numorous times, and cant wait to do the same with this one

I personally found this game to be boring asnd unoriginal, which a cheap story and a lame attempt at a plot twist.

I have every PS2 R&C game that has come out. I've only recently discovered them and I still haven't beaten any of them yet. (Just goes to show how recently I've picked them up.) When I saw the 1st trailer for R&CF ToD, I wasn't impressed and I thought there's a game that I'd pass up. Then one day I was bored and looking for a game that was generally considered good by all of the review sites. I came across the PS2 R&C games and decided what the heck, they're really cheap in the used bin, I'll pick one up. I was surprised. It was good. Fast forward to last week, when the first PS3 Ratchet game comes out. I've seen then videos, read other people's opinions about it, played the demo and thought it was fun (but the lack of customizing my controls was worrying me in the demo). I picked it up cheap, but trading some PS3 games I didn't play anymore and came home and put it in the machine. I played the game almost non-stop in my off time. I found a few clipping issues here and there (but as I've found with the PS2 versions that it's to be expected) and one spot where you can get stuck when you miss a jump and fall and it's almost impossible to get out of so you can die and respawn. There's also another spot where you first get the gelinator where you can put a blob of goo on the floor and jump on it and you find yourself stuck outside of the map. The ceiling wasn't made solid, and this spot can freak you out a bit, but luckily, you can get back inside and the camera recovers from this after a few seconds. Other than that, I was able to customize my controls to my liking, so the game felt intuitive to me. The SIXAXIS controls worked very well. The graphics shone throughout the game. The music was nice and didn't distract me during the game and when things really amped up in the last few levels, the music was kicked up a notch and got your adrenaline going. (Nice, sublte touch!) Frame rates only dipped slightly for me during cut scenes. During gameplay, it was solid 100% of the time. When I have my PS3 hooked back up to a HDTV, I'll be curious to see if it improves the cutscene's frame rates. Fun factor was easily a 10. I put this game in and I couldn't step away from it. Replay is a 10. It's fun to play the levels I've played again and again. And Challenge mode, once you unlock it by beating the game the first time adds a little more fun to the game, by making things slightly tougher and giving you some new weapons and gadgets to work towards. Lack of online doesn't bother me. It was rare I ever took any of the other Ratchet games online. As far as gameplay experience is concerned, this game works on so many levels for me. I can't give it a 10/10 because of the few problems the game has, but other than the few technical issues it has, it's a perfect 3rd person platformer. I give it a 9.9 out of 10 and would easily recommend this game to all PS3 owners, whether you've played a Ratchet game before or not.

This game looks like a very promising game to the series, and, if you've seen the full moon podcast, (Episode 9), then you should know, that, this game is longer than Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, (Insomniac's Longest Ratchet & Clank title yet!), you would also know, that, the morphing weapon is called the "Transmorpher", and, it morphs' enemys into penguins! If you throw out a Groovatron, the penguins will dance to the music! Another interesting weapon would have to be the "Tornado Launcher", It fires' out a tornado, that, you guide using the SIXAXIS! How cool is that?! With all of this coming to one game, it's no wonder Insomniac's all hyped up on the release of this next-gen title!
