Hey everyone,
It’s been a while since we’ve talked about Ratchet & Clank, but we wanted to give you an early scoop on a couple of things happening with everyone’s favorite lombax and robot duo!
First off, we’re excited to announce Captain Qwark’s “My Blaster Runs Hot” Ratchet & Clank Future Weapon Design Contest Sponsored by Gadgetron, which will hence be referred to in this post as CQMBRHRCFWDCSG. We’ll post the full details of the CQMBRHRCFWDCSG next Friday at www.ratchetandclank.com, but in the meantime if you want to get a head start on CQMBRHRCFWDCSG, you should brainstorm ideas for a new Ratchet & Clank weapon. To enter, you’ll need to provide a description of the weapon, as well as an image (this can be anything… even a Captain Qwark-style crayon blueprint!). The prize is going to be pretty epic, and every Ratchet & Clank fan will have a chance to recognize the winner’s hard work.
And in honor of CQMBRHRCFWDCSG, we’re having a sale on Quest for Booty! You can download this pirate-themed fun-size adventure off the PlayStation Network at for low sale price of $9.99. If you haven’t had a chance to play Quest for Booty yet, this is your chance!
Some other super exciting Ratchet & Clank news, DC Direct has revealed the line of Ratchet & Clank figures that will be available this fall. Here’s a special sneak peek image of the in-progress figures, though these guys are still getting some additional love! They should be available this fall!
Also, one small request from us at Insomniac in the spirit of March Madness, head over to the Escapist and vote for us! While you’re there, make sure to vote for some of our other good friends, like Naughty Dog, Guerrilla, SCE Santa Monica, and Zipper!
We’ll be back next week with all of the details on CQMBRHRCFWDCSG (including the grand prize), and some even more exciting news. Bryan Intihar and I will be around today to answer questions in the comments!
Quest for Booty ILL PASS UNTIL THOPHIES
OMG Yes! Now I need to think of a really cool idea!
Contests like these are the absolutely coolest thing…
Well, right behind WINNING a contest like this. I hope I can do it!
“CQMBRHRCFWDCSG”
This is why you guys are my favorite developers. You have a killer sense of humor.
doesn’t qfb support trophies?
I would like to see R&C trophies though.
Oeh giddies I’m all excited. You guys rock!
I forgot just how friggin awesome Ratchet and Clank is — I really hope there’s a new game soon (with trophies, please!) – seriously, I can’t wait
NO Quest for Booty doesn’t support trophies. But this game doesn’t need trophies. R&C: QFB was the best %15 dollars I spend on a DLC.
Those figures look great, I might even pick up one of Ratchet and Clank.
Excited for these and the Resistance ones too.
BTW, I just want to show some support for R2. I just got done reading the Reistance (and now R&C) figurines thread on Neogaf (i dont have an account there or id have posted), and im allways annoyed by the people coming down on R2, one of my favorite games of 2008. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, we really appreciate that!
