With “A Crack in Time” recently turning gold, Insomniac has already revealed that it has started development on another title. The big shocker being that a billboard, spotted somewhere in Louisiana, is advertising a third installment into Insomniac’s Resistance series. Here’s the story:

When driving past the exploded Gas Station set for Battle: Los Angeles, an upcoming movie, avid NeoGAF user goldsoundz spotted a billboard advertisement (linked) of Resistance 3. However, long story short, he/she took a picture, and now it has people questioning if Insomniac is developing another Resistance title.

Here’s to why: if this Resistance 3 billboard is to be used as in film advertisement, this would suggest that we should expect to see R3 somewhere in 2011. However, Insomniac Games has yet to comment.

We knew that it was coming, but you can’t say for sure until the product strikes gold. Today, Insomniac Games revealed that R&CF: A Crack in Time has gone gold, and that it has sent out to manufacturing to be printed and shipped out across the country for its release on October 27th.

“It’s been an incredible experience seeing this game come together at Insomniac over the last year,” says James Stevenson, Community Relations Manager at Insomniac Games on the PlayStation.blog. “From our earliest prototypes of Clank’s time gameplay, to the final space exploration levels that allow Ratchet to land on and explore spherical moons, there has been a ton of effort and love put into this game by the team here at Insomniac.”

A Crack in Time is destined to be yet another huge exclusive for Sony’s machine and, as always, Insomniac is destined to produce a quality title, as you can tell.

Ratchet & Clank have always been know for their array of entertaining weaponry, and in the upcoming installment, it’s no different. At a panel entitled “Weapons 101″ at PAX, Insomniac creative director Brian Allgeier revealed some of the new weaponry that will be featured in Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time.

The most entertaining of the weaponry had to be the Rift Inducer 3000. The Rift Inducer 300 summons tentacles from an interdimensional portal, which in turn grasp enemies and abscond with them through the vortex. Which, as you can tell, is very entertaining to watch.

Another weapon is the Chimp-O-Matic. The Chimp-O-Matic turns your enemies into adorable monkeys, and robotic enemies into robotic toy monkeys with cymbals – which is a gut buster. “Has there been a time when a weapon felt more ‘Resistance’ than ‘Ratchet’?,” Insomniac stated during the panel.

GameTrailers TV just released the first ever teaser trailer for Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time. The teaser focuses on the supreme power of time and the consequences that will result if time is manipulated. Of course, that means that some bad guy will create ‘A Crack In Time’ and that means it’s up to Ratchet & Clank to seal it. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time will arrive in stores sometime in Autumn 2009.

We have just been informed that Ratchet and Clank will be making a return this fall on the PS3 in their newest adventure Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time. The game promises an the experience of “travel[ing] back in time”, and answering some of the franchise fans’ biggest questions about the game.

The plot plays as follows; after discovering that lovable robot Clank’s disappearance was engineered by Dr. Nefarious, the Wrench-swinging Ratchet races to save his best friend. Along the way, both will finally uncover the hidden truth behind their origins, and discover their ultimate destinies.

Powered by Insomniac Games’ fourth-generation PS3 technology, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time will continue to bring the experience of playing your own computer generated animation movie to PS3. A Crack In Time arrives in stores in Autumn 2009.

They were right, this news isn’t as ‘earth-sharding’ as a new Resistance title announcement but it’s still very interesting, interesting indeed. After all, they are developing something.

Insomniac Games’, the creator of the Ratchet and Clank and Resistance seires,  revealed today that their next title will only be available on the PlayStation 3, besides rumors that they were going multi-platform.

It was also revealed that the title is currently in developement, but, much like must developers on this kind of announcement, they didn’t reveal anything on the game.

The information was revealed in the Los Angeles-based developer’s biographical information as the studio announced it is one of the best places to work for in the state of California, according to an Employers’ Group survey — the fifth-best, to be exact, and the only game studio on the list.

As reports mandated today the developer behind the popular Ratchet and Clank and Resistance franchises, Insomniac Games, is preparing some ‘big news’ to reveal tomorrow. Now, it seems that the developer has updated there status on the ‘big news’ and now it seems that the news isn’t so big, at all.

Anyway, three hours after the revealing of the announcement, the developer updated its Twitter page and now it seems that, once again, the news isn’t so big, at all.

InsomniacGames Twitter: “Managing expectations…news is not earth-shattering…but still cool nonetheless…at least for us it is!”

So, what does Insomniac have planned for tomorrow?

A very interesting listing has popped up on the official Entertainment Software Rating Board website. According to the listing, Rachet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty will be rated E10+, the game was an open secret which was revealed by PS3Fanboy . There was many signs which pointed to the game of being a PSN download, but yet it’s still unclear whether this will just an add-on to Ratchet & Clank Future or if it’s a game by it’s self.

We already heard the news that Insomniac and Infinity Ward wouldn’t be giving trophy support for Call of Duty 4, Ratchet and Clank and Resistance. Now, it looks like we’ll be adding one of Capcoms games to the list. According to a post made by one of Capcom’s many moderators , it looks like Capcom will not be adding any trophy support for Devil May Cry 4. The moderator told one of their members that trophies are very unlikely because the game already has its own “little trophy system”.

The moderator also told the member that the likelyness of there being trophies in Puzzle Fighter is also very unlikely, mainly because the team working on the game is finish working on everything for the game. But, look up the moderator told the user that SSF2T HD Remix trophy support is still undetermined.

Insomniac Games have revealed some new information on their upcoming first person shooter, Resistance 2. Basically they said that while creating the new big monster, named Leviathan, they had to think about the surrounding areas and extend the range that the engine displays. Levels are now much bigger and in scope and draw space compared to Resistance: Fall of Man.

There’s going to be new content shown at E3 that they’ve never shown before and will show 60 players online multiplayer for the first time. When they show the 60 player online mode, the players will be employee’s from both Sony and Insomniac Games from their offices, they are going to do this so they can get the numbers online.

Insomniac Games says that what you’ve already seen of Resistance 2, when the full game is released it will look a lot better.

“What you’ve seen earlier on is only gonna get better”

Cinematics are starting to be finalised and look really good. They answered a question they get asked a lot and that is; how do they do their cinematics? They build the enviroments and go down to the motion capture studios, get all the actors they need and basically act out the scene in physical space thats approximated from the enviroments they created.

Once captured they hand it over to the animators back at the Insomniac Games studio, animate their faces and hands so it works in the game. After that they add effects, enviromental effects, sound effects and export those frame by frame to make them into MPEGS, the reason they do it in MPEGS is for level load coverage. The cinematics are from the games engine but captured in MPEGs for level load coverage. To make this sound a bit simpler, it WAS in-game but is captured at the end of the day and is used as an MPEG to cover the levels loading.
“It was in-game but now its captured”
“Its the same, the user will never really tell the difference”

That’s all the information. Check out their podcast and make sure your at E3 to see brand new content in Resistance 2.

Resistance 2 will be released this fall.

We got some information Resistance 2 episode of GameTrailers TV.Here is the break down of information from the episode.

• Ted Price said Insomniac is doing a lot more with the story this time around.
• Hale not only fights the Chimera, he has internal issues to solve.
• The story will be told from Hale’s prespective.
• Nathan Hale knows he has 19 hours left to live, but Ted Price did not reveal if he himself predicted it. When asked if someone else told him, he couldn’t tell.
• The biggest boss in the game is 300 feet tall (91.44 meters). There are a lot of big bosses throughout the game.
• Chigaco in the game has been overrun by Chimera and is abandoned for a few years now, so it has a "ghost town" look.

• New enemy in Resistance is is the Grims, a half converted Chimera. They do not use a weapon, as they are a melee enemy.
• When we see the Chigaco sequence Hale doesn’t have a lot of time to live, so the battles there are going to be a bit wild.
• The game starts where Resistance 1 left off, but we actually begin the journy in London, where we see the opening cinematic of Nathan Hale. The story then jumps two years after the Chimera invasion began.
• The game is mostly set in the U.S., but we will get to see other locations as well. Ted Price said we will see Chimera architecture.
We don’t actually play as Nathan Hale in the co-op mode, but other characters. Up to eight people will be able to go through a unique adventure. There is a class system:

Medic – Responsible for healing.
Special Ops – Damage control.
Soldier – Responsible for the main fighting.
• The co-op mode will be played in the Red Woods, United States. It’s a location that provides contrast from the urban location.
• There is crossover between the SP and Co-op stories.
• Insomniac Games have been running 60 player games for a while now, and Ted Price said it’s feeling good.
• The multiplayer mode features a "Dynamic Objective System" that’s giving the squad you join a specific objective to accomplish.
• The battles are spread widely as not all 60 people are going into the same direction shooting people, what Insomniac Games did made sure all the squads get different objectives, and those objectives keep you in different parts of the map.
• The multiplayer mode will not feature any map from the SP, Insomniac actually design unique MP maps. We will see the American structures in the background, but in a "twisted way", Ted Price says.
• We will be able to play with fewer people in the multiplayer.
• We will see the Chimera.
• Resistance 2 is a lot more realistic from the first game.
• Another new enemy is the ‘Kamilian’, who can actually make himself totally invisible. One hit from this enemy will kill you.
• Every level in Resistance 2 will feature different enemies.
• Weapons – The XR-005 Hailstorm will not be coming back because the team needed room for more
weapons. Resistance 2 features a two weapon system.
• There are no vehicles in multiplayer mode.
• Rachel Parker and Hale will not enter a romantic relationship throughout Resistance 2. In fact, • Parker will not be in Resistance 2 at all because she’s back in England.
• GameTrailers will show the world premiere trailer of Resistance 2 right before E3. The trailer might answer some of the questions we are all asking.
