video does not do the game justice. it shows gameplay and what not fairly well, but the graphics are a far cry from what you'd enjoy on a hdtv. much much better looking in 720p/1080i.

You simply HAVEN'T SEEN R&C:ToD outputed on an HD tv. small clips downloaded and watched on your computer monitor won't do it justice. once you've seen it in 720p/1080i, come back and post.

This picture kicks ass.

Also, there was something new there....anybody else notice that the enemies were dropping a buttload of crystals in addition to, and sometimes in place of, nuts and bolts? I wonder what you use them for.

For best results, view the entire image, and for anyone who hasn't played the game, that is a level...I think that kind of mini-planet was first introduced in Up Your Arsenal, you can walk all the way around it. 

Also these.

Check out the lighting in the first pic. 

The pc doesnt do justice to anything ratchet and clank. You have to see it on any tv on the ps3 and you will be jaw dropped. I have played the demo I have an HD tv, and it looks over 10 times better than the video I posted.

That doesn't really sell me on the supposed "next gen" of gaming. It's a prettier version of the last gen. Graphics aside that didn't look like anything that hasn't been done a hundred times before. I'm sure it will be a fantastic game, just not a very new one.

@Apostrovich- The backgrounds in those pictures are extremely vibrant and detailed, I could see the player missing alot of those details unless they really stopped to take a good look.

On a HDTV the graphics for this game are impressive in their own colourful and bright way.

    When I first played heavenly sword on an HDTV my jaw dropped to the flaw for like half and hour. Although I was also amazed by Warhawk; it's just a download game, but it has incredible graphics. When I played Ratchet, it was fun to play, and the cut-scene was just so sharp, vivid and colourfull (is it in-engine or pre-rendered?) then it starts with the camera just behind Ratchets' shoulder, showing off the whole of Metropolis, with all the chaos in the background, the smoke and all the cars flying around. Then the enemies have such good animation, especially when under the control of the groovitron. Everything is brilliant, even the penguins look great!! and most importantly it's fun to play.

@Dallinor
That was part of the fun of the other games, you had to look EVERYWHERE to get all the good stuff, and while you were you really had to look hard, it really showed off their level design well, this game looks to do that even better.

Well DonWii, Madden NFL releases every year, with the same gameplay...And the game sells like hotcakes...But Ratchet and Clank for the PS3 looks awesome and plays awesome. Its a platformer that PS3 needs and its well worth the purchase if anyone gets a PS3 and existing PS3 owners.
