Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One Nabs a Release Date

I'm a sucker for Insomniac Games' Ratchet & Clank. The franchise should have run out of steam by now, but Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time was pretty fantastic--and a good puzzler.

It's a little unclear how much fun Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One will be solo, but whether with one person or several, the release date cometh: the next Ratchet & Clank drops on October 18.

The news was announced today on the PlayStation Blog. Like Resistance 3, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One will have both 3D functionality. If you have a 3DTV, anyway. Lucky dog.

Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One marks the first project from Insomniac Games' North Carolina studio. Every other game from the company has previously been developed out in California.

At least PSN should be locked, loaded, and ready to go by October!

At last.

I'll hold my breath on this actually being as great as previous titles, but it is a much loved franchise

Oh. I thought this was going to be a collection.

Love me some Ratchet and Clank, so I'm hoping this has some great single player as well as multiplayer.

Not looking forward to this. I love the Ratchet and Clank series but this isn't a proper entry but a money grabbing tie-in.

This game is still an enigma to me. I absolutely love the Ratchet and clank series, except Deadlock, but it's still unclear to me where this game sits. Is it purely a co up? Does it tie to any of the previous games? I would prefer insomniac giving this series a rest but it's their game and I am sure they are not going to ruin this one. 

I was under the impression this was a downloadable title.

I would prefer a proper Ratchet and Clank game. From what I have heard single player in this will be wonky. 

Ratchet in 3d, oh man I feel unprepared

This is great. My brother used to only play Ratchet and Clank when we had a PS2 and I bet he is still fond of the series. I'll probably pick this up and play with him. Btw he's 22 and I'm 19 lol. It may look like Ratchet and Ckank is for kids but man these games are fun for all ages and I'm amazed at how Fresh this series still is after all these years.

So many games coming out this fall. Also, Mr. Zurkon rules!

This is shaping up to be the year I dust off the PS3 and actually play something on it again.  Resistance 3 is a maybe, but Ratchet and Clank is always defaulted to yes!

The box art makes Ratchet look like a chick.

Sounds great.

Link to the game goes to the wrong game.

No Move support? Thats weird

I was under the impression this was a downloadable title.

Seems an odd choice to have it as retail. Doesn't strike me as a 'proper' entry in the series.

Can't see it selling well.

i havent tried any of the R&C games on the PS3

I hope they let you do solo campaign. Hope they don't ruin it. We need more rad platformers.

Ugh. Another game I need to buy coming within the span of 2 months. My wallet is going to be in agony later this year.

I've been really disappointed in the direction Insomniac have been taking R&C with the PS3 games. I found the Future series to have some interesting gameplay elements, but they felt unusually short and linear, and the writing wasn't nearly as good as in the PS2 titles. I'm not so sure this game is what the series needs.
