Ratchet & Clank Future: ACIT trailer takes us into space

August 28, 2009 in Video comments 6

If you have ever played a Ratchet and Clank game, you know going from planet to planet is just a video sequence of Ratchet flying his ship. Every once in a while you might get into a space combat with pirates, but a Crack in Time takes this to a whole new level. Now it will allow you to physically pilot the ship from planet to planet. You can even listen to space radio!

Follow the link to watch the video.

The latest trailer for Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time sees creative director Brian Allgeier detail the new space exploration aspect, which replaces the fast travel of past entries with a variety of optional missions, upgrades, and even some talk radio.

    Looks like space travel is 2D, in that you can only go from side to side and not up and down. Kind of lame that they advertise giving you freedom but limit you in that way. Still, it's better than what we've seen before.

    TBH, I'm one of those guys that isn't that amused by Quark >_>

    Hoping these missions don't become too common, I do think I'd prefer the tradition R&C gameplay TBH. They'd be a nice change of pace from time to time though (much like the regular space traveling missions in Tools of Destruction).

    Looks like a nice change of pace, I love when games let you explore. I don't have TOD so I definitely have to pick this one up.

    I think this is great. Instead of the traveling being cutscenes, it now lasts better by having the player actually have to do the traveling. Also adding the other things like meeting the ships and having to fight, and solving puzzles and side missions, and being able to land on random small planets to explore . . . all pretty nice in the replayability.

    It certainly is. I felt that Tools Of Destruction was lacking in the replayability department.
