Ratchet & Clank: Why is Metropolis under attack?

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) Line Producer Greg Phillips recently uploaded this lone screenshot from the video game Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction over at the official PlayStation Blog website. The producer noted that this is the one promised by Insomniac Games during one of its recent interviews.

Phillips said that this shot was taken from their E3 level, Metropolis, and it’s the first thing a player will see after the opening movie cut scene. Clearly, Metropolis is under attack and the next good question to ask is why. The line producer became vague at this point as he mentioned,

It has something to do with heavily armed robotic commandos, large space ships, and, maybe, something to do with Ratchet‘s unknown past that is coming back to haunt him. Or maybe Quark pressed the wrong button in the planetary defense center again and is about to see his chiseled likeness go up in smoke because of it.

Greg Phillips also talked briefly about one of Ratchet & Clank‘s new devices called Transmorpher. It’s a device that can turn most enemies into penguins, which is kind of cute when you really think about it. Lastly, the line producer promised that more will be revealed at the upcoming E3 event.
