Thread: Christmas'ness

If insomniac told you that they will be adding some AWESOME easter egg's in any Ratchet and Clank game on Christmas day and you get the chance to choose to add up to THREE things in ANY of the games, what would you add, why would you add them, and which [Ratchet and Clank] game would you add them to?

You can choose to add ANYTHING and ONE of them HAS to be related to Christmas. Think of it as your Christmas gift from Insomniac.
Choose wisely as it will only last for a day

I think it'd be pretty cool to hear those wacky ideas from a great Ratchet and Clank community like this one

Merry Christmas From SoulRatchet

I'd like a Special Armour for Ratchet which was Christmas related and cost 1225 bolts.

I have a good idea, but I don't want to say it in case they actually decide to do it in the future…

What you say here will not influence the way things work at Insomniac in any way. I use to think of all these ideas for weapons, plots and characters but never would I share them in case it clashes with something IG are doing, and they decide not to go through with it because they cant 'take ideas' from fans… but that's kind of silly.

…Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Okay, my idea is:

An update with a bonus Christmas-themed level, set on some sort of "Christmas planet", perhaps with extra missions and skill points and other goodies.

Nexus or FFA?

I still think FFA should have gotten a Nexus themed MP map…

My ideas were

1: Add a sort of 'power up' that randomly spawns everywhere and when you pick it up, your wrench becomes a candy cane and whenever you bash an enemy with it, they turn into chocolate. Whack them again and they melt… xD

I'd add this one to a Crack In Time probably because I think it suits it the most.. if you know what i mean

2: On Qforce (Full Frontal Assault), I'd make so that whenever clank turns into giant clank in the start of a level, instead he just becomes a really FAT Santa….

I'd add it to Qforce (of course)

3: The RYNO becomes a useless Brussel sprout and the theme music (for when you are shooting the RYNO V) instead becomes the trolol song

add it to any game i guess… xD

@RatchetRuler

That's a pretty cool idea, and maybe they add a grav tether or gravity, something along nexus lines to the map that'd be awesome :oui:


[also how do i reply to people in threads?]

Those sound fun!

P.S. To reply to a post, click the button on top of it that looks like a speech bubble.

I didn't mean it for any particular R&C game, but it would probably have best suited FFA.
That's a good idea too. It could be set in the Netherverse!
…When did they stop updating FFA?

I think it might also be fun if they took a page out of LBPs book and made a map from another game. Such as Jak and Daxter.

I know very little about Nexus (and I don't want to know until I play it), but I could imagine it would have been a nice little taste of whats to come to sort of show off some of the elements found in Nexus in a FFA map based in a location from Nexus.

I also think more interactive maps would be fun. Here is a scenario:

Round 1: Your in a space station orbiting a jungle planet or something, the station is being attacked by an enemy ship currently latched onto the space station (the center of the map being where the ship and space station meet up).
Round 2: Another ship is coming at the space station with the latched on ship (which is also the same size of the space station so that it's not too unfair), and begins to launch rockets at the place (not even caring about the ship already docked with the station), throughout the round the place experiences quite a few explosions, and stuff starts to shut off and get blown off the station and ship.
Round 3: The station starts falling out of the sky and begins hurtling towards the planet, most of this match is going through the atmosphere of the planet, and as the assault phase ends it crashes to the ground.
Round 4: Its more or less the same as before, only your in a jungle.

Of course pices can scatter and stuff, but the nodes and bases would need to stay more or less in the same place… them again it might be fun to be able to turn on or off a feature to have the nodes break off as time goes on…

But for some reason this seems like one of those impossible ideas… if only FFA was made for PS4 :P

EDIT: starting to drift away from Christmas now aren't I?

0_0 Wow what an imagination that's… awesome!!!

(p.s thanks for telling me how to reply Smega)

Well, I actually heard the idea of a Zurkon family from a fan long before Nexus was even announced…

Yes , like Smega , i don't say my idea because i don't know it's will be in the future :/
But , this topic is very interesting , i read so many your messages
Perhaps , about me , i'll post a new idea later.

Its probably a coincidence. I mean I think IG are perfectly capable of coming up with an idea like that, heaps of people are. Almost everything would have been suggested at some point in time, what with everyone having such great imaginations and all.

What about an evil robot Santa as a boss?
