I can see the teleprompter, and it also hints that they’re about to hint about another new project.
Tuesday August 17, 2010 11:18 IGN
11:17

IGN:
The game also appears to feature four player puzzles, with things like a Giant cannon all the players have to work together to operate.
Tuesday August 17, 2010 11:17 IGN
11:16

IGN:
The game still looks like a Ratchet game, only now it has the chaos of a four-person shooter. The teammates can work together, even using weapons between players.

11:15

IGN:
Players appear to be able to play as Dr. Nefarious, Ratchet, Clank, and Captain Qwark. It’s drop-in/drop-out. The game is called Ratchet and Clank: All For One.

Sorry about that, the internet connection here is spotty. Right now we’re seeing MotorStorm in 3D. As expected, it looks great.
Tuesday August 17, 2010 11:09 IGN
11:06

IGN:
While all the games look great in 3D, and the crowd seems to really be into it, the question remains as to who is going to buy the expensive hardware and glasses to use it? After all, this stuff is so valuable we had to hand over our ID just to get the glasses today.
Tuesday August 17, 2010 11:06 IGN

A move montage is now on the screen, showing the “hardcore” games that are coming. While games like RE5 and Ruse look great in video, I can’t really tell how the Move will work for it.

IGN:
And yeah, I meant AC-130. Whoops!
Tuesday August 17, 2010 10:57 IGN
