Sony and Insomniac Games understand that "Rachet & Clank" fans will not appreciate any spoilers about the upcoming animated movie tie-in of the re-imagined platformer-shooter game. That is why they came up with a last-minute patch that will block any movie spoilers before it hits the big screen on April 29.
The "Ratchet & Clank" patch 1.02 was released just a few hours before the game was dropped on the market on April 12. The patch aims to block movie clips that are interwoven into the game's cutscenes and levels while it is being streamed. It also disables the function of the Share button when the scenes are being flashed onscreen.
But those who are thinking that the patch could affect the overall enjoyment of the game because of the blocked screen and sharing function need not worry since the patch is only made to maintain the surprise element of the upcoming animated film.
According to the synopsis of the "Ratchet & Clank" film, the "Lombax" named Ratchet and the highly intelligent robot named Clank will work together to stop the evil alien named Chairman Drek from destroying all the planets in the Solana Galaxy.
"When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of colorful heroes called The Galactic Rangers in order to save the galaxy. Along the way, they will learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering one's own identity," the synopsis reveals.
A star-studded cast lends their voices in the film, including Paul Giamatti as Chairman Drek, Bella Thorne as Cora, John Goodman as Grimroth, Rosario Dawson as Elaris, Armin Shimerman as Dr. Nefarious, James Arnold Taylor as Ratchet, David Kate as Clank, as well as Sylvester Stallone as Victor Von Ion.
The "Ratchet & Clank" video game can now be purchased on the PlayStation Store and at retail shops for $39.99.
