Décidément très prolifique en matière de jeux vidéo, la Comic-Con 2009 aura aussi été l'occasion pour Sony de dévoiler de nouvelles images de RatchetClank : A Crack in Time, le nouveau bébé d'Insomniac Games attendu pour la fin de l'année. Rappelons que le jeu prend place juste après Quest for Booty, alors que Ratchet part à la recherche de son ami Clank disparu. Dans son périple, il rencontrera un certain Alister Azimuth qui offre la particularité d'être lui aussi un lombax, alors que l'on pensait jusqu'ici que Ratchet était le dernier représentant de son espèce.

Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time finally brings the graphical quality of pre-rendered CGI to video game consoles.  
 
Insomniac's hard work has finally produced CGI quality graphics rendered in real-time on the PlayStation 3 . Sure, it might not quite be at Wall-E level yet, but Toy Story 2 quality pre-rendered graphics have definately been reached.  
 
Insomniac Games, who have produced more games for the PS3 than any other developer (Resistance 1, Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, Resistance 2) brings their fourth game, Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time (or what they like to call Clock Blockers) with an even more polished engine.  
 
The pre-defined animation and limited scope of the cutscenes mean that Insomniac can pull more out of the PS3 for their real-time rendered cutscenes in A Crack in Time, though the gameplay graphics are just as spectacular.  
 
Have a look at the comparison picture below, featuring a new screenshot released by Insomniac and Sony (it may be a super-sampled shot, but that's what you can expect to see in the in-game cutscenes), to see how far video game graphics have come: from a rumoured Sony comment that the PlayStation 2 could produced Toy Story quality graphics, to the reality of Insomniac's work on the PS3.
