Footage of Ratchet’s Killer New Weapon, the Spiral of Death

Right before Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction was released, Insomniac Games held a competition for their fans, asking them to come up an animal for the game’s morph weapon. And the result of this competition was Ratchet’s ability to turn enemies into penguins. For the newest installment in the series, A Crack in Time, Insomniac held a similar contest for a weapon design, and the one that they chose to implement is both innovative and cool to watch.

You can check out the Spiral of Death, the winning entry in the “My Blaster Runs Hot” competition, in the video interview with creative director Brian Allgeier.

@Dand008,
But way cooler. I’m sure they’ll insert this weapon into Resistance 3. =]

I voted for the gun that turns enemies into pixels, that would have been awsome. This gun is good too though.
