It looks like
Ratchet & Clank didn't show up three hours early to get through spaceport security and will be delayed a week. The boys
were expected on Oct. 23, but
according to the PlayStation Blog they'll be arriving Oct. 30. Not only has the game been delayed, but the demo
expected Oct. 4 on PSN will now show up on Oct. 11. If you can't wait for the demo, remember that you can always
pick it up at GameStop with a pre-order of
Ratchet & Clank Future.
R&C Future is definitely a game we're looking forward to. Not only because the series has always been solid, but because
we like pretty colors and we're getting a little
sick of the brown motif in games. A week extra isn't so bad compared to other
PS3 delays we've seen.

Haven't delays for PS3 stopped being news months ago?

The demo at gamestop according to insomniac is of a far earlier build, and the one coming to psn is closer to the final build and more polished.
I dont see a week being that big of a deal.

Thank you for clarifying. Anyone that already has the disc demo should go ahead and download the new one just to be sure. There shouldn't be anymore screen tearing and low-fps character animations(like when you hit jump pads).
I personally think it will be the same demo level, but will use the final build(or near final) and actually let you fight the boss at the end.(akin to when the press got a first hands-on)

oh noes! another nail in the coffin for the PS3!

usually 1 week delays are to fix a game-crashing bug found at the last minute
marcandrer @ Sep 28th 2007 11:24AM
It's probably to make sure the disk is not scratched when you open the box !

OH SNAP!!!!
vinny @ Sep 28th 2007 11:32AM
man, that was close, for once i thought the delaystation 3 would actually ship a game on time
Matt B @ Sep 28th 2007 11:37AM
Its sad that people bash Fernando, but praise you for the same shit. Are you Fernando 2.0?
vinny @ Sep 28th 2007 11:42AM
ohhh somebodys cranky this morning, and no, im not mulletman 2.0
hotnutz @ Sep 28th 2007 1:38PM
True Matt, but Vinny doesn't have a anti-ps3 spambot like Fernando does. It must be broken right now as it hasn't posted it's random message of hate yet.
Matt B @ Sep 28th 2007 11:36AM
I already have the demo. I got it for free for putting $5 down on a pre-order. I haven't played it yet though. I swore to not play it til I finished Heavenly Sword, but Whiptail is being a bitch and just won't die!!!!
blooh (CDF - Ass Ring) @ Sep 28th 2007 11:45AM
you didn't get it for free then
Exo @ Sep 28th 2007 12:32PM
actually he did, he oculd go get his 5 dollar preorder back and not have to give the demo back
hotnutz @ Sep 28th 2007 1:36PM
yeah that's true but Blooh is too dumb to realize that so your explanation is wasn't on that rock.
hotnutz @ Sep 28th 2007 1:36PM
yeah that's true but Blooh is too dumb to realize that so your explanation is wasted on that rock.
arrrgh @ Sep 28th 2007 11:37AM
I guess this is "sort of" a game...? maybe it doesn't count?
Phranctoast @ Sep 28th 2007 11:38AM
This news sucks. I know a week isnt a big deal, but I was under the impression that it had gone gold already.
Hopefully they can roll out UT3 on time!
RoboChamp @ Sep 28th 2007 1:11PM
Mother******!! I want this game so badly! I've also forbid myself from playing the demo to have a fresh experience from day one of purchase. Dammit.
navstar @ Sep 28th 2007 5:27PM
Honestly, what difference does a week make when a game it so close to release? Can developers *really* tweak a game that much so late?
It seems these frequent one-week delays are more likely due to printing or duplications delays... things outside of the developers' control. At least, that's what I think.
