Newest update: Ratchet, Qwark and Clank vinyl action figures. Pretty awesome.
Latest update: looks like the guy that won the contest developed a weapon that is like a spinning blade and returns to you like a boomerang. I played the Clank demo last night and it’s amazing — lot’s of puzzles to figure out within the game play — not like the rolling the metal ball to complete the circuit, but more like Portal. What else — the game comes out on 10/27. If you buy it through some retailers you get a bonus code to visit a special moon, and if you have your Quest for Bootie and Tools of Destruction saves on your PS3, you’ll get various discounts on weapons and skins that you wouldn’t normally get.
Third update: The trailer for the game:
Second update: 7 minutes of live gameplay:
Nearly 7 minutes of gameplay from the preview build of Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time. See brand new levels from Ratchet, Clank and Space gameplay! Coming to stores near you on October 27th, 2009 exclusively for PlayStation 3
First update: Here’s the trailer for Ratchet and Clank, a Crack in Time:
Original content of the post:
I’m pretty psyched about the Ratchet & Clank Future Weapon Design Contest. The Ratchet & Clank games are my favorite games ever. The design (mechanical design, ships, weapons, creatures) and art (backgrounds, concept art) in the games are fantastic, and on par with anything produced in the gaming industry, science fiction or 3D animated films. Hopefully I’ll have time to design something for the contest.
As the mightiest hero in the galaxy, Captain Qwark is looking for a weapon that is worthy of his greatness! And YOU may just be lucky enough to create it. The designers of the Ratchet & Clank® games have always created the most outrageous, coolest, and sometimes most bizarre animal-morphing weapons in the galaxy. From the Groovitron to the RYNO, Ratchet & Clank® has always offered an abundance of choices in putting down the various villains that roam the universe.
Two years ago, Insomniac allowed fans to decide on what animal enemies would morph into in Ratchet & Clank® Future: Tools of Destruction. For its upcoming game, Ratchet & Clank® Future: A Crack In Time, the designers at Insomniac Games are handing over the reins to their fans again. In the spirit of Ratchet customizing his own weapons, Insomniac decided to give all of Ratchet’s fans a chance to show off their ideas and fill the final weapon slot in the game with one of their own creations — one that even Captain Qwark would be proud to wield.
We want you to create and design a new weapon to be included in Ratchet & Clank® Future: A Crack In Time. Submit your idea for a new weapon and get the chance to have it included for actual play in Ratchet & Clank® Future: A Crack In Time. At the end of the submission period, the development team at Insomniac will choose five finalists for the community to vote on.
The winner of the weapon contest will have his/her weapon included in Ratchet & Clank®Future: A Crack In Time, Win a trip to the San Diego Comic-Con International and more!
