Delightful four-player action adventure Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One comes to the PlayStation 3 on October 18, Insomniac Games and Sony promised today. Insomniac’s other fall game, Resistance 3, hits the month prior. They’re busy! [PlayStation.blog] More »

Gamers of a certain vintage (likely older than 30) will recall The Goonies, a 1985 film that taught everyone that obnoxious suburban mcmansion growth can be stopped if you believe in yourself and have access to pirate treasure. In a podcast at ButtonMasher, Insomniac’s Brian Allgier completely proffers Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty will feature Goonies-style “Pirate Puzzles,” and it sounds like one is taken from the scene where (God I love it that I get to type this) Andy plays the bone organ.
Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty will be hitting PSN pretty soon. By now, you’re all familiar with the details since its E3 announcement. A short but sweet extended expansion for Tools of Destruction for a low, low price of $US 15. I got a demo of it today, and while it’s a PSN-only download game, don’t expect the graphics to take a hit, in fact, expect to see some improvements.
It’s a wonder how Insomniac finds the time to make Resistance 2 and sprinkle on a little Ratchet and Clank in the same year. But they did, and boy you really have to hand it to them. Sure Quest for Booty is a short game, around 4 to 5 hours, but it still looks as good as any other game out there. It uses the same engine as Tools of Destruction, which Insomniac knows like the back of their hand, and that allowed the team to add some new lighting and environmental effects for new areas of the game.
I am always glad to hear another Ratchet and Clank is coming down the pike. I loved Size Matters and still think it’s one of the best looking games on the PSP. Hopefully, this one can live up to it.
This time around, Clank gets the titular role as he sets out to rescue his good friend Ratchet from his fate in prison. What did Ratchet do to land in such hot water? Watch and find out! Make the jump for a little bit of gameplay as well.
