[PS3] Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time

All the cutscenes in the first one are prerendered.

Seeing how they praise the graphics in the cutscenes for the new one, i'm guessing this time they'll actually run in realtime.

They were recorded in-engine footage. It wasn't "pre-rendered". Naturally, since it's in-engine footage, they can afford to do other things with lighting since they don't have to work with physics or AI. Even then, the majority of all of their cutscenes were done in real time, the only ones that were done via recorded footage were there to mask loading (as the same was done on PS2 ratchet titles).

tha_con, (pre)recorded in-engine means prerendered, just not FMV or CG.

No I understand that, that's why I wrote it in quotes, I was juts clarifying that there was very little difference between the two since that seemed to be the direction the discussion was headed.
 
There's a story trailer as well as a new Dev Interview over at GT ! Go chk it out ! I am too busy watching to post a link :p !
EDIT: Oh ! and BTW, the story trailer is so awesome :cool: and I have decided to go for this over MW2 on my ps3 ! MW2 will go to my PC now, and Ratchet will come to my ps3 this fall :p!

WOW ! New personalised weapons :cool: !

Its releasing in few months & the hype level is ?? for this game, if well hyped games fail to sell than I can only guess what wud happen with zero hype.
 
Yeah, I am iffy about the silence too. Their trailer so far has been great though. Heard they added more platforming in this game. I am thinking they need to have a standout mechanics. But they're sooooo quiet.

I said the same thing sometime back and you guys said that they don't want to repeat a R2! I don't understand that statement. R2 was a good game, it lacked polish in graphics. Even if it had not been hyped, the lack in graphics would still have existed. The game sold well, because it had enough hype of its Co-op and 60Player MP modes.

Ratchet , otoh, is an established franchise, and anybody who has played TOD knows that it rocks in the gfx dept. too. Insomniac shouldn't be afraid of hyping Ratchet at all. Even if its more of the same, it is more than welcome as no other game looks so vibrant and beautiful as Ratchet ! Hype will only help sell it more. Anyway, this holiday season the competition is too hot. Evn I am unable to decide which ones to buy !
 
I'm too in favor of avoiding overhyping.
Insomniac said they are planning to hold on releasing big stuff until around release, which is right by me.
 
I think the problem with hyping up R2 too much, was that they showed a lot of their biggest surprises. That awesome view of San Fransisco bay, the Leviathan boss fight, ect. And they did it well before the game was released.

Compared to that, hyping it up just before release might be a that much more effective, without giving away too much.
 
"Quiet"? In the literal sense maybe, if you ignore the podcasting and the weapon contest. The amount of media released so far has been healthy IMO. New screenshots, new trailer this week, too, that counts for something.

Ha ha, they certainly don't want to repeat R2. I don't remember commenting about it for R&C though. Someone else ? R2's mistake is more because Insomniac restarted the series, and tried to do too much at one go.

Actually, I just wish Insomniac could talk more about the technology behind R&C like they used to.

To me, Insomniac is a little strange because it's like the game company next door. If I don't hear from them for too long, I'll be compelled to poke around to see if they are still there.

Limited Edition Cover Art (EU) !
 
Frankly speaking the only good Box art recently has been Borderlands ! It is awesome !

Now this would stand out at any shelf !!
Rest are all uninspired this year! Look at the downgrade from R1 to R2 :rolleyes: !
Personally,m I don't like this one either, kinda, Dr.Jeckyl- Mr. Hyde vibe, but whats the point? They should convey how funny or Fun this game would be from the Box Art !
I think , all they mean to say with this one is that Clank gets equal playtime as Ratchet in this one, which for me is a bummer, as I don't like to play as clank at all!
