Miyamoto Slams Ratchet & Clank
12.14.07
Insomniac, makers of Ratchet & Clank recently said it was flattered that the spherical worlds in Mario Galaxy were inspired by Ratchet & Clank. Now Miyamoto has fired back and revealed that he doesn’t even know what Ratchet & Clank is.
Miyamoto said he was “surprised” by Insomniac’s comment. “In terms of the spherical worlds and anti-gravity,” he went on to explain, “we had the original idea as soon as we finished the development of Mario 64 and had been experimenting with it for many years, even on the N64.”
“It’s not an idea we got from anywhere else,” adds Miyamoto, before adding: “I’m sorry but I have to admit that I’ve never seen the game in question. Is it a PC game?”
