TSA’s Top 100 of 2011 – #52 Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One

Dropping their penchant for double entendre subtitles for once, Insomniac Games and Sony will release Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One in the autumn of 2011. Though it may be a little light on innuendo, Insomniac are definitely bringing plenty of new tricks to the series, with four-player offline and online multiplayer the game’s main hook. Drop in and out as last lombax Ratchet, his mechanical mate Clank, with resident moron Qwark and main antagonist Doctor Nefarious making up the foursome.

Trapped in an infernal machine known as the Creature Collector when Nefarious’ dastardly plan to finally off the dynamic duo back-fires, the unlikely quartet must work together to escape. It’s an interesting premise, the possibilities of collaborative gameplay almost endless – especially in the hands of a studio famous for being consummate gameplay aficionados.

The Ratchet series has been a consistent and rewarding franchise on Sony’s platforms. Few studios understand the PS3’s strengths as well as Insomniac, and though this is the first game to come out of the developer’s new North Carolina studio, we’re confident the attention to detail and emphasis on quality – renowned traits of its Burbank headquarters – will continue on the east coast.

Here’s another look at the title’s Gamescom trailer.

  1. Cant wait for this game! Love the R&C series and with multiplayer, this should be really fun!

    • I agree completely :D, I have completed more than one or 100%ed every single title (except the first) thus far

      • Same!! Ive played each atleast 4 times and maxed out the bolts on 3 of them, working on ACIT at the moment!

      • Same here, Ratchet and Clank was the series I grew-up with, exept for maybe 2 and ‘size matters’, they all deserve a 10.
        ACiT is especially good as it made trophy hunting challenging, rewarding but not frustrating.

  2. YES! This game looks amazing, so long as they’ve done it right (and it’s Insomniac, so I’m sure they have) multiplayer could easily be one of the best additions to the series =]

  3. Yes, very excited for this, love Ratchet and Clank, I’m sure multiplayer is going to be a brilliant addition to the series. I hope you get to mess with the other people though ;) Me and my brother are both fans of R&C, and I just know that the sibling rivalry is going to bubble on up on this one as it has with all the others xD

  4. This is already a must-buy for me. The Ratchet and Clank series never dissapoints and with 4 player split screen this should be a blast
