Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest For Booty

Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest For Booty

Insomniac Games, the developer behind the popular Resistance and Ratchet & Clank series, provides a vague status update to one of their future titles.

"Below is a list of the top downloaded items from the PlayStation Store for the week ending October 22nd. This week Call of Duty: World at War and Fallout 3 both dominate the chart. The number one spot is occupied by the latest COD: WAW Map Pack for the second straight week. Fallout 3’s add on content has been very popular over the past few weeks. Check back each week for the lastest and most popular downloads from the PlayStation Store."

The extra content for LittleBigPlanet is still coming thick and strong, with no sign of letting up. Many games have made cameo's in the cooperative platformer, Playstation exclusive and not, and Ratchet and Clank appears to be next in line. The sources suggest it is substantial content, likely in line with the very well received Metal Gear Solid expansion pack.

"It looks as if we are in for a treat with upcoming Home Spaces from Insomniac Games. This time from the popular franchises of both Ratchet & Clank and Resistance."

The sequel's announcement was rumoured just hours ago, and would you believe it, the sequel has been confirmed and given a name. Coming this autumn to the stores (yes it's disk-based from what can be interpreted from the article) is the next R&C Game: Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time. See the full press release below.

"Insomniac Games, the developer behind the popular Ratchet and Clank and Resistance franchises, is teasing some big news for tomorrow, according to their official Twitter account. "Preparing to reveal some news tomorrow about Insomniac...shhh!", their latest update reads. Could it be the highly anticipated announcement of the next Ratchet and Clank game? Perhaps a downloadable episode of Resistance, similar to what they did with Quest for Booty? Or maybe even just some company related news?"

"Wait we still IN 2008?

The Christmas episode of Sony’s Pulse has given us the lowdown on which of the raft of games available on the PlayStation Network sold best in the last twelve months. Quite surprisingly - given the nature of the game - PAIN takes the number one spot, with the likes of the confusing flOw and the bizarrely-named High Stakes Poker Edition helping to fill out the rest of the places.

Strangely theres no mention of WipEout HD or PixelJunk Eden, but they could be slow-bu..."

Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty, the PSN add on for Ratchet and Clank Future : Tools of Destruction game's story, has now been sighted in shops at Gamestop in Ireland and England. This is rather strange, since the disc version was apparently canned back in August. If your into the games pick it up, its only £9.99

We've all heard about the title before, and we've finally gotten the details on the game today. Starting off where Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction left off, Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty sees Ratchet trying to discover what exactly has happened to Clank. It has been announced that the game will be releasing soon on the Playstation Network at a price of $14.99.

A long time back a list was floating around the Internet which was believed to be a schedule for the releases of PSN. Now one of the most interesting titles was titled Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty. Now this very same title has appeared on the ESRB website. Which means not only is pretty much confirmed as a new game or expansion pack but also that official details from Insomniac are likely only days away.

With a successful Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Sony have announced that Ratchet and Clank will both be returning on on the console, however this time as a downloadable title from the Playstation Store. With no details other than the name (Translated name is "Ratchet & Clank: In Search of Treasure") be sure that more details will emerge shortly.

In a Live interview session with Eurogamer, Ted Price the boss of Insomniac Games was available to answer questions. During the interview when asked about the loading screens of Resistance 2, Ted Price responded with

"And hopefully you won't see any loading screens. At least that's the plan!"
This will be partly due to the install which he also talks about in the interview as well as many other points.

Unfortunately the interview is now over (just as I finish typing up this article actually...

A few weeks ago a document was discovered which was apparently a schedule for PSN content. This list included such items as Warhawk: Operation Broken Mirror (already released), a update for Lair, a Resistance 2 trailer and a mystery item titled Ratchet: Quest for Booty. Due to some digging several of these items have been confirmed and as such the rest of list can be somewhat trusted.
