Here are the latest Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction details. Captain Quark returns and EGM mentions the main bad guys are basically the console war equivalents of the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, funny! 😆

* New weapons: The Groovitron shown in the above screenshot gets enemies dancin’ and leaves them open to attacks. Other new toys in Ratchet’s arsenal include the Flame Blaster (complete with crazy heat distortion effects) and the highly electrical Plasma Beast.
* There will be spaceship battles, and they will return to the arcade style of the first Ratchet & Clank game, rather than the wannabe Colony Wars/Wing Commander sequences of Going Commando.
* Rail gliding levels will be back for the first time since Going Commando. The article doesn’t say if the rail gliding or spaceship sections will use motion control, although it would be nice.
* Competitive online multiplayer is in the air and may not be included. Online co-op is more likely, but not 100% confirmed.
* Captain Quark will return, and will be the only returning supporting character.
* Some new characters mentioned are Cronk, Zephyr and Willie, a trio of decrepit, outdated robots who each think they’re superior to the other two. Cronk is quite proud of his Blu-ray technology, while Zephyr has advanced online connectivity and Willie spazzes out and flails around battle. Willie was killed on their last mission.
* The PS3 adventure game will be released in 2007.
