| Ratchet: Deadlocked |
||||||||||||||||
| This October get ready for the game of the century. Ratchet: Deadlocked will be released and ready to the blow the minds of any player. No, literally. This next installment of the greatest franchise on Earth will leave any player wanting more, and more they will get. For those of you who are already into the Ratchet and Clank series this will be a real treat. From a whole new weapon upgrade system, to an increase of the integration of ships, this game will no doubt satisfy the tastebuds of any shooter lover out there. THE STORY Ratchet is in a predicament. He has been caught by an evil mogul, Gleeman Vox, who has placed a collar around Ratchet's neck. This collar will explode if Ratchet should any reason choose to try and run away. Gleeman Vox places Ratchet in a series of tournaments which in whole is called Dreadzone. This is due to Vox's show, which he wants to increase the audience. Vox sees that Ratchet is the best warrior on the show yet. Through more open environments and difficult enemies Ratchet will battle till the end. The end however will not come unless Ratchet puts an end to Vox. With Clank's help in the background, being the mission coordinator, Ratchet and Clank will try to stop Vox while entertaining him in his battles of Vox's shows. THE SPECS The game will start off in default Lock-Strafe, unlike any Ratchet and Clank game thus far. The weapon system is much different. Instead of having an array of over or around 30 weapons there will only be as much as 10. No worries though, this is where the weapon upgrading system shines in glory. As in previous games there were mods for specific weapons, but now there are mods you can buy and equip it to any weapon you desire. Let's say a rocket launcher is in use, if a freezing mod is equipped to it then when the rocket launcher is fired it will start to freeze its opponents. That same mod can instead be hooked up to the lava gun (if in fact that weapon is in the game) and freeze enemies. Clank is no longer running around with Ratchet , instead he is someplace elsewhere making contact to Ratchet and helping him on his way. Instead of Clank are AI robots which will be allies in Ratchets journey. They are there to be given commands from the player. From asking them to turn a bolt to open a door, to making them cover Ratchet while he turns the bolt himself, they are there for total support. There will be two new vehicles along with the two previous vehicles. The vehicles are more integrated into the game this time round. More missions will require you to take up a vehicle and bring your foes to their demise. The vehicle will most likely be a hoverbike, and an armored tanklike structure, along with the previous hovership, and turboslider. What will extremely spike interests is the fact that there is now co-op play in campaign/story mode. That means that you and a friend can take on Dreadzone both at once. This is a really nice addition to the game. Outside of story mode is the multiplayer. The online and multiplayer games will feature a new mode, Conquest. Evolved from siege mode, this mode will now be focused on nodes. It is your job along with fellow players to take control of the map by capturing and defending as many nodes as possible. Also in the multiplayer/online games there is a new way to gain points. They are somewhat like skill points and are based on a way you exterminate your opponents. In example, if you were to kill someone with a flux rifle you would get a "sharpshooter" kill which will be worth 3 points. If you run someone over you would get a "roadkill" kill which would be worth 2 points. And if you kill someone with a wrench you would be granted a "humiliation" kill which would be worth 5 points. IN CONCLUSION All this and more, that has not been revealed, only proves that this game will be the ultimate game for the PS2. |
