Insomniac Games has announced that a new patch for Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time is now live. Patch 1.20 addresses challenge mode, the good Samaritan trophy bug and the Valkyrie boss glitch.
The Valkyrie battle crash bug saw the players “getting shot and dying at the moment the boss is defeated, or while the Valkyrie ship is still blowing up, ” causing the game to freeze. The challenge mode save bug happened if the player “backs out of the auto-save which appears when initiating challenge mode.” The patch will fix both of these bugs, and instructions will be given on how players can restart the Challenge mode playthrough.
Finally the good Samaritan trophy bug popped its head up if the player “acquires the RYNO V from the Smuggler before finishing all of the Smuggler side-missions, the Smuggler will sometimes disappear, making it impossible to finish his quests.” The patch means that all the quests the player missed once the RYNO V was equipped will be auto-completed and the trophy will be unlocked.
El33tonline enjoyed their time spent with Ratchet & Clank, calling it a “fun, well-polished and oft-times challenging adventure game that boasts serious production value.” Read our review of the game to find out more.

Gamers have been spoilt for choice this year, with a number of AAA titles being released on to store shelves over the past few months. Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time definitely earns itself a place in this selection, being a fun, well-polished and oft-times challenging adventure game that boasts serious production value.
Now I can’t claim to be an expert in the Ratchet & Clank series, this being my first exploration into the world of the popular Lombax and robot pair, however, it is a title that I have been keeping my eye on since the game was first unveiled earlier this year. It was something about the tongue-in-cheek humour of the protagonists that caught my attention and the inevitability of intriguing time puzzles, given the subtitle of the game, and creative weapons that promised to both challenge and amuse me.

Under PS3
Insomniac Games showed their upcoming adventure game Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time at last week’s San Diego Comic-Con.
The developer revealed that Clank is being held in a secret facility known as the Great Clock in the centre of the universe after being kidnapped at the end of Tools of Destruction. It is here where Clank gains new time abilities, which can be seen below in this first footage of gameplay from A Crack in Time. Check back on the PlayStation Store this Thursday because this trailer will be hitting in the next few weeks.
The new trailer for the game follows below, showing a glimpse of a new level in the game, Axiom City.
You can also check out the Spiral of Death weapon in action in this video below.
A new line of weapons for A Crack in Time was revealed, the Constructo weapons. Watch the video below for an introduction to the Contruscto Pistol and Contructo Bomb Glove.
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time promises to reveal more about Ratchet and Clank’s past that any other game in the franchise. It will be available for the PS3 this fall. Fans of the series should keep an eye out for the first Ratchet & Clank action figures which will be available on the 2nd of December.
Check out our previous coverage for more information and the debut trailer of Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time.
