[Here are some surprises to help us celebrate the event!]

5 years, 5 mystery guests!

After 5 years in existence, which represent a huge step for the site and its community, we have decided to create a pretty much exclusive video.

Let's just say that some people have decided to share this birthday in our company, including 3 of the french dubbers (Ratchet, Clank and Captain Qwark) and some others who… Well, I won't tell anything more, that would ruin the surprise for you guys, wouldn't it? :p)

Some tracks from the FFA/Q-Force Beta!

After a common demand from Insomniac Games and Sony, the partial soundtrack won't be available anymore. Thank you for your understanding.

More cutscenes from the series incoming!

On this part of this newspost, you might say you guys have a slight advantage on the french community members! As they only have the cutscenes from R&CF: A Crack In Time (revamped in HD), you now also have access to the entirety of the cutscenes from Going Commando (in a much better quality than they have, thanks to Malier) and the cutscenes from Quest For Booty (in good-looking HD)! This represents more than 2 hours of cutscenes in a much more comfortable visual and audio quality!
Of course, I've also created for this unique occasion a English YouTube account for the videos available on this section of our website! You'll be able to seamlessly watch playlists filled with cutscenes from our favorite games, comment and subscribe!

Coming soon : Ratchet Galaxy for mobile devices

And to go out with a bang, how about we share our projects for the future! As some of you may have noticed, browsing Ratchet Galaxy with a smartphone isn't the most comfortable thing to do. That's why, because of the expansion of mobile browsing, we have decided to launch a mobile version of our site !

But no worries there, you don't have to expect a release date for 2015 but for the next few weeks. Anyway, stay put, because in the near-future, the Ratchet Galaxy Community will make your mobile devices heat up !


[R&C FFA/Q-Force : trailer, gameplay and public beta]

A brand new trailer for the upcoming R&C game!

Well, even though it's not that brand-new, we still wanted to share with you the first trailer from the upcoming Ratchet & Clank : Full-Frontal Assault… Will you be able to guess who the villain evoked in the trailer is?

>> Watch the R&C FFA/Q-Force Trailer

A gameplay video from Q-Force

This video enables us to see more of the action taking place in the online battles from the next Insomniac Games title!

You'll be able to witness a great dynamic in the battles and the fluidity of the 3rd person gameplay the saga has used us to!

>> Watch the gameplay video from FFA/Q-Force

FFA/Q-Force Beta : try your luck !

The FFA/Q-Force beta has now been launched on a small scale, and you have to ask for an exclusive invite via the Insomniac Games official website. For those who live outside of the US, you'll need a SCEA PlayStation Network account and a valid e-mail adress to see if you are one of the lucky devils who can enjoy this beta!
You might as well receive some surveys for the Insomniac developers in North Carolina in order for them to make this game the best multiplayer experience possible, so check your e-mail inboxes often!

>> Good luck to all of you !


[The Ratchet & Clank Collection is now available in North America!]

While European could enjoy this HD-remaster for more than 2 months now, today is finally the day (what a coincidence, right on our anniversary!) where all North American residents can enjoy the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection, a great package including the first 3 original games of the series in glorious high-definition up to 1080p, with 3D support for enabled TVs, but also trophy support for the 3 games!
Don't forget that Idol Minds (in charge of the HD remaster) have also implemented the critically-acclaimed Up Your Arsenal multiplayer mode, so go grab a copy and explode some of your friends online!
Oh, and you might want to save your money for the HD-remaster of Ratchet Deadlocked announced in a japanese trailer and probably available in the next few months on the PlayStation Store :p)

I know that I don't understand French, but when the the French dubbers say "Ratchet Galaxy" it sounds a bit Japanese (Please do not take this as an insult).

Thanks for cutscenes of Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time in an amazing HD quality.
But cutscene number 26 "Only one Lombax will die tonigt" is not complete. I mean, english version of this cutscene is just 5 second long.
