We can read at HardGame2, one of the most important Spanish (and european) web of videogames, that Sony announce a new Ratchet & Clanck game series, with the name of Ratchet & Clank: En Busca del Tesoro (aka, Ratchet & Clank: Search of Treasure).
This story has been translated by Google translator pages:
"After its premiere in PlayStation 3 with Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Sony just announced the return of this nice couple in their latest console, only this time destined to be a downloadable title from PlayStation Network. At the moment we don't know many details of this game, except his name: Ratchet & Clank: In search of treasure, and you can see the logo at the bottom of this new."
D+PAD Magazine writes: Is comparing Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, the latest adventure for everyone's favourite (and most likely only) Lombax, to the globe trotting exploits of Nathan Drake in Uncharted 2 a good idea? We just can't help ourselves...
"Insomniac have a gift – the ability to forge games of such a high quality – and to ask them to stop would be a crime against gaming humanity."
As long as they keep doing so, I'll keep buying R&C. Hopefully, this is not really the last one.
I have always been a Ratchet and Clank as well as Insomniac supporter and fan. I bought Resistance 1 and 2, and R&CF:TOD day one but I found myself letting ACIT slip off of my radar. I blame it on the Modern Warfare 2 effect, lol. But i will definitely get this for myself as a Christmas gift before yrs end.
ConnectedConsoles: There have been many rumors hitting the internet concerning platform exclusive's and whether they'll be heading over to different consoles. Especially with games such as Left 4 Dead 2, which has recently come into the headlines with rumors that it will be heading to PS3 as well as Xbox 360 and PC. One [PlayStation 3] exclusive, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time however, won't be seeing green or white any time soon.
Lol, well Insomniac even said that they're staying Sony exclusive in a interview aboot a month or two ago.
TGSI
Obviously?
Do you actually know that Insomniac is not part of Sony right? They are a private company and if they wanted they could do tittles for other consoles beside the PlayStation...
Also in the news: Rachet and Clank going to 360 wasn't even a rumour until we wrote this 'article' stating that Sony owned ip won't be going to the 360.
Stay tuned next week to read our main feature: Rumour dispelled, Mario, Zelda and Metroid games not going to the 360 either!
Who wrote this 'article'? lol
the title says no Mass effect on 360, wii "Anytime Soon". I guarantee this thread would be very different =/
"Do you actually know that Insomniac is not part of Sony right? They are a private company and if they wanted they could do tittles for other consoles beside the PlayStation..."
And do you actually know that Sony OWNS the property for Ratchet and Clank therefore it will never, EVER be released on a non-Sony console.
Well considering that Sony owns all the IPs Insomniac makes ... Should state that these franchises are never gonna be seen anywhere except the PS....
Another failed article ...
"Do you actually know that Insomniac is not part of Sony right?"
You know Insomniac is recognised as a Second Party Dev, share information and tech with ND and the 2 Dev Teams are like friends and I think Ratchet IP is owned by Sony, High Impact Games made Ratchet and Clank Size Matters for PSP and PS2, is not like only Insomniac make Ratchet games
Insomniac is like Bungie in that the games they make are given first crack to Sony. To think they haven't tried their hand at something for the ds or wii is asinine. Sure it may never come out but still.
Why would it matter if they did make a game for a competing platform? Chances are it wouldnt be anything of significance that people associate with Insomniac (R&C, Resistance, etc).
Insomniac may consider themselves an independent but I would classify them as a second party. Not owned by sony like a first party studio but still getting all the benefits from them in making games and giving sony first bid on what they make.
Well bodytborder you are another one of those people that fail to comprehend the manner in which IP ownership functions and how it affects the platform availability for titles.
Besides, the article concerns R&C, which will never EVER see the light of day on a MS or Nintendo platform.
What is the next article, no Halo on PS3 anytime soon??

Scroll down, and look at that SCEA logo,because that means you'll never get them.
R&C and Resistance are the properties of Sony and even if Insomniac decides later that they will go multiplat, they'll have to come out with a new IP - not those 2!
However, 360 owners seem to turn their noses up at these kind of games. Just look at the sales for Banjo: Nuts and Bolts. It got some pretty decent reviews and it was an established franchise and 360 owners couldn't have cared less. I bet Rare's missing the ole Nintendo days.
Don't Microsoft have them on strict Natal duty now? Anyone wanna guess how that's going to turn out for Rare?
Honest question: If the developers don't own the IP, who does? The publisher? So is it true that Ratchet & Clank sequels cannot ever be made multiplat? I'm just wondering how did the FF13 end up being multiplat? I'm pretty sure Sony published several of the previous FF games. I don't understand the legality too much. Any explanations would be welcomed.

It depends who owns the property (ie. the name, ideas, characters etc)
For example, Sony own's pretty much all its IPs for exclusives (Uncharted, Resistance, WipeOut, R and C etc etc) therefore Sony gets to chose which consoles it goes on and obviously it will stay Sony.
But, Gear of War, while exclusive to Microsoft, is property of Epic Games. Epic own the property, characters etc and can chose to release it on whatever console they want.
As for Final Fantasy, while Sony may have published some of the games, it is own wholly by Square-Enix.
The Ratchet & Clank license is owned by Sony so it will never see an iteration on someone else's platform unless Sony decides to sell the rights. Insomniac isn't owned by Sony, but in many interviews Insomniac is quite happy to remain Sony exclusive. They've constantly raved about the creative freedoms that Sony gives them with their games. On top of that the R&C franchise is much loved by Sony gamers, including me. It's profitable for Sony to hang onto the license and I seriously doubt it'll be sold to another company for distribution on other platforms other than the PlayStation brand.
This "article" sums up everything that is wrong with N4G. For every thoughtful piece, there are 10 stupid/sensationalistic/poorly written ones. Submissions need to be moderated for idiocy...
The fact that Sony owns this IP is common knowledge in the video game industry.
Insomniac games' Bryan Bernal confirmed this in an interview with PSU saying : " (Sony owns the Ratchet & Clank property) so it's safe to say you won't be seeing our heroes on Wii or Xbox 360 anytime soon."
they are a second party dev for sony...anytime sony is shown a new IP before any other publisher means they are a second party dev...if sony rejects the new ip Insomniac is free to shop around for another publisher if they still want to make the game...this is why son so far owns all of their IPs...
Ratched and Clank are Sony trademarks!

scroll a bit down, and you will see it
are they planning to buy the IP, whatever i would really care since i dont like it (but own Ratchet&Clank FTOD)
YourEMGN Writes: "Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time seems to be in high demand, reaching the top 3 sales in the video games category yesterday on retailer - Amazon."
Ratchet and Clank is the best action platform series. Too bad it's often under appreciated by reviewers.
But luckily gamers know quality when they see it, and Ratchet and Clank have many faithful fans...
Madden of platformers. bleh. I'll still take it though since there aren't many left.
i know the gams gotten good reviews but ive seen absolutely no advertising. oh well, hope it sells good.
It's a brilliant game. Didn't know Ratchet and Clank could be so perfect. I'm also surprised it made #3 on Amazon, but, it definitely deserves it.
It has a good sized fan base (including me) that will buy every new Ratchet and Clank because we love Insomniac.
I'm sure it will be advertised.
I was suprised to see an EYEPET advert just the other day.
It was advertised, the dear playstation one, it was on last night, and really funny. It had this dark committee where you can't see their faces but talking to that guy in all the ads that they wanted to purchase those weapons. And the guys was like those are not real and the committee thinks the guys is saying that so he won't get caught and asks again and the the Sony's guys face is priceless
It's awesome. i'm still buying this game though because there's no way the Signed limited edition is going into My PS3... these guys are way too humble and down to earth. I'll be supporting this game with a game purchase. as for the proof.. check this out

Wow that's awesome homie. Glad you got to meet one of the best developers in the world. I can't wait to get my copy also.
It seems anyone who owns a ps3 is alot happier, and everyone is positive and nice to one another. n4g use to be hell on earth for ps3 fans, now eveything is right.
That said, this game rocks.
Man 1 word resound in my head: "ENVY" lol
Great man, take care of that signed copy, you never know what can happen
muahahaha muahahaha /jk
Now really, you have a awesome piece for collection, congrats
Not stealing thunder from your comment or anything, but I got my Resistance 2 copy signed from Ted and some of the other guys.
I even made a joke "So when's Resistance 3 coming out?" and everyone laughed.
Real down to earth guys.
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction is one of my favourite games on PlayStation 3. I think this new title can be a interesant adition to the PlayStation Store.
Another bad move on Sony's part. This is a premier franchise and to dumb it down into a store download is terrible. It has to be an add on or something there is no way this can be 20 gigs like R&CFTOD was and not maintain the quality. What is going on there at Sony?
Yeah I think thats what Quest for Booty is. May be from now onwards Ratchet series will sell via PSN in episodic format. Like they are doing with Siren. May be. Or may be it can just be a rumor.
Guys...I think this is DLC for the Ratchet & Clank Future Game.
BTW I don't know if you noticed but "Quest for Booty" and "Search of Treasure" is the same thing. So this is the same DLC add-on that was mentioned a while back!
then just as DLC for GTA4 on the 360 will do just as good.
Time for DLC FTW!!! saying lol
