Quantcast


Ratchet & Clank weapons contest is here photo

Do you have a creative streak for creating weapons? Always wanted one of them to be in a videogame featuring creative weapons like, say, Ratchet & Clank? Would you be insanely happy to realize there was a contest in which you could enter your designs for weapons and then get chosen so that your weapon shows up in Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time? Well tough luck, the contest is over and now the finalist need to be voted on. Maybe you should have been paying better attention to the front page.

For those of you not curled up in the fetal position because I played a mean trick on you, go ahead over and check out the five finalists in the contest and then give a vote for your favorite. Make sure you read the descriptions because just looking at the images doesn't really give a good idea of what the weapons do. For instance the Spiral of Death doesn't look to great, but when you read about how it will take out enemies the value skyrockets. Looking them over, they all seem pretty interesting, but I'm going to have to go with the aforementioned Spiral of Death. How about you? Tune into the San Diego ComicCon to find out the winner.

Sucks that the Contest is closed, but I like the weapon finalists.

I had a hard time chosing between the Bubble gun, Spiral Wheel and the Qwark machine.
The Quark Machine seemed very comical to use.
The Spiral Wheel's idea is outright awesome, but I fear it'll be missing the homing feature if it's made.
The Bubble Blaster (which I voted for) looked the most fun to use, and I liked the idea fo being able to fill the entire room with little bubbles or blasting off a big one.

I think, being so comical and appealing to Qwark fans, that The Quark Machine will get the winning vote though.

I'm leaning towards either the spiral wheel or bubble gun (though the plasma sprinkler caught my attention as well)...it'll probably be a bit before I decide which one to vote for, though.

i don't know vyruz... i think most people are going to like the bubble gun (voted for that too). seeing as how i'm gonna probably get the game, i'd rather get something that would be totally awesome to use than something comical. though the qwark machine does sound like it would be totally awesome to use as well...

I voted for the plasma lawn sprinkler. It has more potential than a few of the others. The Qwark glove is a variation of the doomies but with qwark instead of robots. That would be very funny if they made some changes to it. Bubble gun, possibly, but sounds a bit too slow for any real combat so unless it's a guided bubble it wouldn't get used often. The buzzsaw on the ground is cool but they already have a buzz saw that bounces off of cliffs and walls.
I forget what the other one is but the ideas are all pretty good.

Wow, the spiral wheel is like a killer lawn mower. Pretty awesome. Although the drawings themselves are kind of crappy.

I'm having a hard time between the Super Sized Sticky Hand and the Qwark Machine ...

This is tough...if only there was a drill oriented weapon.
