As many of you may know, when you purchase Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault for PS3, you’ll also be entitled to receive a downloadable version for your PS Vita system with cross-save and competitive cross-play support.
Our friends at Tin Giant have been working hard to bring Insomniac’s PS3 game to PS Vita and to ensure that your experience is packed with all the action and polish you’d expect from a Ratchet & Clank game. In order to provide the best gameplay experience possible, the PS Vita version of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault will be coming out in January 2013. The PS3 version will still be available for purchase at participating retailers and on PSN starting on November 27, 2012.
As a reward to fans for their patience, we will be giving them the first piece of DLC for the title, the Mini-Boss Skin Pack, as a bonus with their purchase of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault for PS3. This skin pack features three fan-favorite boss characters from past Ratchet & Clank games, including Chainblade from Going Commando and the Two-eyed Tyrhrranoid from Up Your Arsenal. Take a peek at these new skins in the screen below.
Thanks for your support and patience for the PS Vita version of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault. We can’t wait to see all of you online unleashing the multiplayer mayhem on PS3 starting November 27, and then on PS Vita in January 2013.
I will do a full on Onslaught on this title ( See what I did there )….
well that sucks. i kinda wanted to play this mostly on vita. anyways looking forward to it on ps3 first and then vita version in january
HELL YEA CHAINBLADE, B2 BRAWLER AND A TYHRRANOID!!
Damn that’s disappointing. Guess I’ll shelf it till January then once it arrives next week. Not that I don’t have other games to play, but I was looking forward to this game.
Awesome news and great art right there!
Delayed? Messa sad now… :-(
I’m so exited to get this next week I don’t even care if I have to wait for the Vita version. In fact waiting might even be better because it will feel like getting it new all over again!
always better to wait a bit longer, than receive a sub par Vita version …. I’m still getting this Day 1 – & thanks for the free DLC …. :-) the Vita version will be a belated gift !
The handheld device needs a good and unique tower defense game! It is almost my dream game for Vita. I wanted to play this game on Vita…. I think I cannot resist PS3 version until 2013.
Will PS3 launch copies still include the Vita version for download when the Vita version is available? I hope early buyers don’t get shafted out of their free Vita copies.
Im so getting this when its out, sad to hear a little delay for the Vita version, but hey, if you need the extra time to make it great, take it!
Q: The price point was 20 right? or did i just read that magic line somewhere in the sky?
Another good news for PS vita, thats it am going to by a PS vita by the end of this month :D
will the skin pack be included on the disc? or will a code come with it? or do we have to pre-order to recieve the bonus?
There are some us who only own a Vita, and unfortunately not a PS3.
So do we get something for our patience? Doesn’t seem fair that PS3 owners who technically don’t have to wait are getting bonus DLC…
And also, I buy all my games digitally. Is there any way I can still get preorder deals like for PSASBR or Ratchet and Clank?
that would be a good deal 12.00 for 1yr of sony music unlimted its all good but not on this acount but i get it free forever until i die that is no crdite card requrded or info so im good im right now listen to Future DJ Hitmakers its the best album the resion why i get it forever i did it over the pc you can ownly do the unlimted serveic from pc so im good for the service but ill take the free games
What about coming all the way around for some back door lovin’?
Guess I’ll wait until January to decide if I want to get it. And I was so excited to get this game on Vita.
On a side note, I’m sad to see so many Vita games based on great franchises not being develop by the original developers. I’m still wondering the damage that COD is doing to Vita’s reputation right now, I mean, if the game isn’t ready, don’t release it.
It’s definitely a slippery slop that Sony is walking with their treatment of the Vita. Or maybe it’s just that all the developers are working on PS4 now, and there is no more resources/interest for the Vita? Not sure.
Well hopefully that means the Vita version will get some optimizations or something that will make the wait worth it. Better to see that versus a rushed port that doesn’t play well *cough cough* COD *cough cough*
As a person who owns all ratchet games and looking forward to this. SMH
Even worse is I wanted this AS a PS Vita game, I can’t believe that first only the PS3 version has a physical release, which is a slap in the face to PS Vita owners with small memory cards like myself. Now the PS Vita version gets pushed back 2 months with no specific release date. And on top of that the PS3 buyers get a free DLC skin Pack for patiently waiting, yet the PS Vita owners are the ones waiting not the PS3!! The PS3 owners probably don’t have a PS Vita which make em get Free DLC just added on while the vita guys who want it to play on vita get NOTHING but the game 2 months later. Tell me this isn’t a slap in the face and you’d lose me as a big insomniac and ratchet fan in a heartbeat. I have no issue with the game itself being delayed but with the ps3 version still releasing next week and they get the compensation as well as a physical release. This is becoming complete non-sense for me. Smh explains why no one will show vita gameplay
The skin pack will work on the Vita version too, and the PS3 version still includes a free copy of the Vita version (when it releases)
There was never a planned Vita physical release, and originally it wasn’t even going to be a PS3 physical release. So at this point, the PS3 retail disc is a bonus, and the skins are a bonus (that will work on both consoles).
We’re sorry about the delay, but it’s all in order to allow Tin Giant to give you the best possible game and Ratchet 7 Clank experience
