Chatting About Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One With Insomniac Games

If you’ve owned a PlayStation system since 2002, chance are you will have played a Ratchet & Clank game. The duo has been one of the best-loved in PlayStation history and, nine games later, developer Insomniac Games is introducing the most radical gameplay addition for some years: four-player co-op.

I recently caught up with Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One‘s Production Director Shaun McCabe to try and eek out more detail on one of the most exciting PS3 exclusives on the horizon.

Seeing as it’s Valentine’s Day today, which three people, alive or dead, would you most like to have over for a four-player co-op party?

      As you’re a Plus member, you could just visit the Store and download Flying Hamster – it has been free in the Plus section all day and I tweeted about it earlier. Then, please try to keep your posts on-topic. You don’t have to comment on every post, you know.

    @dgnfly I am cheerful that was a witty sarcasm i thought i put there.

    but I wouldn’t hold your breath for features now as i too read the report that the revise 3.56 has not FIXED the HDD Drives i said that in other post.

    it now needs a further update a other 3.56 or 3.57 so that put on hold the 3.60 & cloud saves it been ages for added features.

    i think sony not trying to hard & sit on it till E3 day. :|

    Hi James (bit unrelated but) can I get someone to answer my question that was put on the last two plus update posts? NZ hasn’t gotten the Lead and Gold PSN game this month. Are we getting something else or are we just being skipped this month?

    @Skookie30

    i noticed it was sarcasm but lately you been aiming a lot off it at SCEE that’s something you never did at the start.
    well for the most part sony is trying hard it’s just SCEE don’t forget that with a 4 year time lag and growing bigger

    @james gallagher
    the blogs boring can’t we get some more variation like i said before more unknown games you been hyping killzone 3 for weeks and it’s only 4.5 hours long might have killer graphics like many games but 4-5 for a campaign is horrible

    lol @dgnfly that rich i been reading your commets as well with others you dont say nice things as well, yes i‘m a hash critic i‘m on my 3rd Ps3 each 1 cost more then the 360.

    i expected the region free Ps3 dose just that why should i be please for a dear kit of a it only does everything….. But Not…..

    i did praise SCEE for the vid-store & Vidzone etc it went downhill with mubi Lovefilm & you cant get the comic store i praise that as well we had it.

    it not SCEE fault i always blame the muti-region & cost to devs that is a FACT. :|

    anyway ross may decide to pst the Ps1 list tomorrow. :D

    @Skookie30

    i’m not complaining about you complaining, i’m just suprised. and i’m on my 2nd ps3.
    can’t really blame multi-region cause xbox has the same thing and no lag they even get things faster and SCEA\SCEJ they both got imports and it’s not looking good for us
    don’t forget we can’t get anything we only have vidzone and MUBI
    and that’s sucks no anime o ya we have NO VID-STORE

    7# it’s not 4-5 hours long, maybe if you rush the game but one site i trust is Thesixthaxis and if they say it’s atleast 7-9hours long then it is!!!!

    No that wrong M$ is Not muti-region everybody has a 360 will tell you that it has a universal store a universal store is Not tie in with muti-region i even had a 360.

    it wouldn’t let me pick a region like the Ps3 does it wouldn’t let me vist the other market-place because they is only 1 store & yes your right we dont get thing quicker, M$ does & Not just on the wednesday.

    anyway i‘m going offline now i dont feel so good still got a cold hope it not swine flu like ross got last xmas. :o

    I’m actually excited about this game, even if I haven’t played any of the games before. I do own “Tools of Destruction” and “A Crack In Time”, however I haven’t gotten around to play them, should maybe do before this one is released :) Thanks for the interview James!

    I love the R and C games but I just don´t care for co-op play. I know you can play it on your own but the game was designed for co-op so I´m sure I won´t get so much out of it as all of the other games. So this one is unfortunatily not for me but I´m sure a lot of people will love it. Good for them. Next time maybe a fun single player again?

    Removing the controllable camera makes it accessible? I rely greatly on being able to control the camera to actually get through levels. This is going to make it very hard for me.

    I know this is a change because of the co-op angle, but I feel it could be an option to get camera control when you’re playing by yourself. Would work for me, since that’s the only way I’ll play it.
