Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - Image 1


PSU has managed to score an interview with the folks from Insomniac, the brains behind the Ratchet and Clank series as well as a little PS3 title called Resistance: Fall of Man. The full interview's behind the "read" link below, but you can check out a few snippets of it right here.

On Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Brian Allgeier, creative director and design director at Insomniac, detailed a few of the weapons that will be making an appearance in the game.
  • Pyro Blaster - a high powered flame thrower, all of the weapons have been started from scratch and tuned for the new enemies and combat.
  • Tornado Launcher - sucks up enemies and whips them around. Also controllable by the Sixaxis motion sensor in the controller.
  • Plasma Beasts - slimy goo-like monsters that spring up and tackle enemies that are in range
  • Groovitron - a disco ball grenade weapon that when thrown out causes the enemies to hypnotically dance to a groovin beat
As for online multiplayer and co-op features, Allgeier declined to give any details. "It's too early to say right now," said Allgeier. "Plus Ryan, our Marketing Director, would probably kill me."

Resistance: Fall of Man - Image 1The Resistance: Fall of Man sequel. Insomniac President and CEO Ted Price also tackled the rumored sequel for Resistance: Fall of Man. "Rise of Man is a logical guess," said Price. "But we're not making a Rise of Man."

"I've already gotten called out for 'confirming' a Resistance: FOM sequel," added Price. "I've never done that overtly. What I've said is that Resistance: FOM is the first chapter of a bigger story...so for now we'll leave whatever's next shrouded in mystery."
