New Ratchet & Clank Game Announced

Posted by Soulskill on from the good-for-fans,-good-for-sony dept.

Earlier this week at the Game Developers Conference, Sony announced that the next installment in the Ratchet & Clank series, titled A Crack In Time, is due out this fall for the Playstation 3. "A Crack in Time will conclude the story sparked in 2007's Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and continued last year in the pair's downloadable debut, Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty. The game will follow the lombax Ratchet as he attempts to save his robotic sidekick, and Sony promises to reveal both their origins and ultimate destinies during the course of the game, teasing the biggest breakup since the Beatles." A trailer for the game has been released as well.

  1. New Open-Source Train Simulator openBVE goes v1.0 by distantbody · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    2009-03-26 (If Ratchet & Clank game is important, then a new open-souce simulator is doubly so, Slashdot editors and off-topic moderators be damned)

    The free and open source 3d train simulator, openBVE, has just turned the big v1.0.

    openBVE was born in April 2008 as a replacement to the popular freeware programs BVE Trainsim 2 & 4. The lack of compatibility between BVE Trainsim 2 & 4 and the developmental uncertainty of the 5th version (originally named Boso View Express by the sole Japanese developer Mackoy) lead one resolute user to start openBVE.

    Michelle has made great progress with her new code, and whilst the current installation procedure and basic 'getting started' instructions are rough, her communication on the openBVE forum and her great developer documentation all indicate openBVE will continue to get better.

    That looks awesome. But without having a well defined license this program won't be able to be included in the repositories of many distros. That's really sad. :-\ I hope that she'll reconsider for utilitarian reasons at least.
