Ratchet & Clank Quest for Booty August 21

Insomniac duo's downloadable excursion will arrive on PlayStation 3 online store for $14.99.

Insomniac developers may be pulling all-nighters to finish up work on the company's big holiday release of Resistance 2, but that isn't stopping the studio from offering gamers their annual dose of Ratchet & Clank.

Ratchet won't always have Clank handy.

Ratchet won't always have Clank handy.

The pair's debut downloadable outing, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty on the PlayStation 3, received an exact release date today on GameSpot's latest episode of On the Spot. The smaller-than-usual-size game will arrive on the PlayStation Store August 21, complete with a smaller-than-usual-size price tag: $14.99.

Picking up after the events of Ratchet & Clank Future, Quest for Booty will put a greater emphasis on puzzle-solving and platforming elements. The game will also incorporate a new light-and-dark gameplay mechanic.

    one of the best ps games ever made.

    Well, it comes out on Blu-ray if you live in Europe. If not, someone will almost certainly stick an EU Blu-ray copy of the game on eBay or something. Part of me wishes this was going to be a longer game, but then again, we would have to wait at least another year for that until after Resistance 2 is finished, so this should suit me fine for now.

    I think that should be worth it.

    $15 is not a bad price.

  • micmill

    Download only... 3-4 hours long

    Two things: one YAY ANOTHER R&C GAME SWEET!!!! Two: Is this game on an physical disk or does one have to Download the WHOLE THING??? If it is a download only thing, then I will be very sad. Dail-up sucks.And that makes it very complicated.......Damn.....

    @jeremiah06, What do you mean it'll only be 2-4hrs long?

  • micmill

    Posted Aug 1, 2008 9:42 am GMT

    Jeremiah, I'm not saying the other 3 games of R&C are bad... I just never was interested in playing them. I only played Tools of Destruction because my wife wanted to check it out (she loves "cartoon" games). I ended up loving it. It really was a great game. I don't think I can go back and play the other R&C games though. I like R&C in HD, couldn't go back to the last gen models...

    @littlesunday:

    Nope 2-4 hours long.

  • jeremiah06

    Posted Aug 1, 2008 9:29 am GMT

    14.99 actually seems kinda steep for 2-4 hours of gameplay. I could see paying more along the lines of 9.99 for this.

  • jeremiah06

    Posted Aug 1, 2008 9:27 am GMT

    @micmill:

    What? You just sound dumb, I could see if Tools was the best so far, but the other 3 games were all superior to the PS3 debut. You should really look into playing them.

  • micmill

    Posted Aug 1, 2008 8:54 am GMT

    I never gave a rats about R&C until I played Tools of Destruction. That was a great game. I am very excited for this to come out... I love the episodic download concept...

  • playmemike01

    Posted Aug 1, 2008 8:10 am GMT

    when in the UK though?

  • AzelKosMos

    Posted Aug 1, 2008 7:41 am GMT

    I really want this as Tools of Destruction was awesome and sucked me into the R &C universe.

  • Jared42

    Posted Aug 1, 2008 7:24 am GMT

    does anyone know if you need to have tools of detruction to play this download or is it stand alone nevermind didnt read far enough down

  • hsedai

    Posted Aug 1, 2008 7:10 am GMT

    looks like it will be a very fun game. Also sounds like a very worthy quest, in my hirsute opinion.

    I personally have my doubts. With working on Resistance 2 and releasing Quest for Booty in a mere 20 days, you have to wonder how this game will compare with the rest of the R&C series excluding the horrendous "Size Matters" port for PS2.

    I hope they know what they are doing and I also hope that this isn't the future of R&C. *Crosses fingers for Tools of Destruction 2*

    lol i love that title "Quest for booty". It could almost sound like a GTA mission that deals with them h**kers.

    I heard the game isn't that long but it seems as though it will be worth playing.

    hmm cool. Now i wonder when the Europe release date is and when we are getting the Blu-ray version.

  • NanoElite666

    Posted Jul 31, 2008 8:39 pm GMT

    Last I heard this game was due out around the end of September (although it was never an official announcement). August 21 makes me a much happier person.

  • JiGSaW918

    Posted Jul 31, 2008 8:38 pm GMT

    hmm that may be really good or really bad..... 15 dollars..... and it'll probably be short as HELL!!!! well ill still have to buy it but seems kinda early....
