Insomniac hints at end of Ratchet and Clank

Fair enough the last game felt a little stale, but that may just be because it lacked some of the features from previous games that really gave the game its soul.

Ratchet. Ratchet? RATCHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i really hope this isn't the last Ratchet & Clank game!

I'd be fine with this. It has been a fantastic run, but I wouldn't mind seeing what Insomniac could come up with to replace the series.

Ill have to admit, i just started playing R&C a few months ago but im hooked. My gf was really into it and got me to play. I had first played Jak and Daxter, which left me not touching R&C. No offence to J&D fans but, it was a pretty poor game IMHO.

So now i am scouring Amazon for every R&C game i can find. i really hope if this is the last one they go out with a bang.

I'm hoping that the series continues, but if Insomnia wishes to move on I would prefer they retire the franchise than have another studio take it over and ruin it, ala Crash Bandicoot post-Naughty Dog.

nooo

I really don't see any other game on any platform that resembles R&C; I rather they just end Resistance with a part 3 and continue with the Rachet & Clank universe.

finally

I can live with that, perhaps they'll start a new IP that I'm actually interested in.Maybe we can see their take on the point n click/graphic adventure.

As much as I love Ratchet & Clank, I wouldn't mind letting up on the games for the series, possibly letting it end. Just as long as they don't do what they did to Spyro and let it become a zombie series with some studio.

it sounds like Insomniac needs to pick up their game, at least in the writing department.

Resistance 2 sucked great big monkey balls (I just finished it a day or two before Uncharted 2 came out). Nonsensical plot progression, very little characterization. Too many QTE-like moments too.

Resistance 3 should be either about Parker or James Mason (from Retribution).

I'm looking forward to playing the first outing of Ratchet and Clank on the ps3 (bought it but never played it).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want them to make a R&C game that has co-op. My brother and I had so much fun when playing R&C together

*sings* We are family

They said something to this effect on Gametrailers TV too. I dunno, I think R&C has had a good run, but at the same time it's one of my favorite series.

I really really want a PS3 Sly Cooper or Jak and Daxter game, though...

They could always just follow Naughty Dog (as they ALWAYS do) and focus on their new, grittier IP and, if they feel like another R&C game is in order, they can let High Impact do it for them. (Not that I like the idea of another developer picking up where another one started (coughcoughguitarherocough), but it seems like Insomniac/SCE don't mind taking that route for these IPs.)

Speaking of following patterns, there better be an Uncharted racing game after the third one. It would follow Naughty Dog's pattern of a trilogy (Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter) followed by a racing game (CTR, Jak X). In all seriousness, I want at least a fully-rendered trailer for one on an April Fool's Day. If they did that.. I don't know how I can love Naughty Dog any more than I do, but I'd find a way.

I hope not.

Don't kill the Wombax :'( but if you have to let him go off with a bang...like an old man humping a lingerie model.

I love Ratchet and Clank and if it ended its run I would miss it alot.

No no insomniac you are doing it all wrong...you oughta kill resistance...long live the only exclusive platformer on the ps3!!!

Don't kill it but a lengthy break would be refreshing.

Yeah, I doubt it'd be a bad idea to loosen up on the release schedule for these games. I keep hearing good things about them, but one of the biggest reasons I've never bought one is that they come out with a new one literally every year - there are too many coming out too fast to keep track of if you're not already a fan of the series, and since the sequels aren't numbered, it's even harder to determine which one to play first. I think it would be far better for this series - or any other, really - to only release a new game when they have the particular inspiration to do so, not just to meet a regular release schedule.

It seems they can't (shouldn't!) end R&C now - they left *so* much open at the end of the game. Maybe they'll just call this the last "Future" game, aka Trilogy, as some suggested.

I'd like to see the series end, Ratchet and Clank both deserve a rest after saving so many galaxies, without garnishing a whole lot of respect from the populous (series staples?). Even if they just settled down somewhere, or run off the find the lombaxes (I am so tired of hearing everyone say it's rare to see a Lombax, we get it already!).

If it ended with A Crack in Time, I'd be disappointed for two reasons: (1) there was a cliff hanger that needs resolution and (2) if it just ended like that, I couldn't respect Insomniac enough to drop the ball without at least telling us fans before hand.

If it ended with Tools of Destruction, I wouldn't buy another Insomniac ever. I wasn't as happy with ToD as I was with R&C3. The weapon upgrades felt lacking because most of the time, the last level up involved "add acid", "add fire", "triple shots", "ricochet bullets", and I expected the guns to completely differ from before.

If the series ended with R&C3, I would have been content. No spin-offs, no watered down racing sequels, just a very solid experience as a high note for Insomniac's record. (you know, if Brutal Legend handled it's single player like R&C3, a complete experience that introduces multiplayer feature to teach players and add variety in combat. Brutal Legend would have gone on my Greatest Games ever list, right best Pyschonauts.)
