Speaking with Videogamer, Insomniac’s James Stevenson has revealed that they are now so familiar, they can do “tricks” with the PS3.

Can you teach it to sit? Fetch? Roll over? Thought not. But Stevenson did say:

“After we get it off and running and we have a game or two released, three, four years into the lifecycle of consoles is where it starts to get exciting. Now we know how to ride that bicycle and we can start performing tricks on it.”

Stevenson also revealed how they had to rebult the Ratchet & Clank series for the PS3 after the series’ PS2 illiterations.

“We had to rebuild Ratchet for PS3. All that stuff we took for granted: the move set, the animations, the character, the crates, everything that works on PS2, had to be redone for PS3.”

Sony has announced new Ratchet & Clank game, A Crack in Time.

The title, scheduled for a “Fall 2009″ release, sees you travel through time. As you may have guessed.

Concluding the events that began in Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction and Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time will answer some of the franchise fans’ biggest questions. After discovering that lovable robot Clank’s disappearance was engineered by Dr. Nefarious, the Wrench-swinging Ratchet races to save his best friend. Along the way, both will finally uncover the hidden truth behind their origins, and discover their ultimate destinies. As the duo come closer to reuniting, they’ll have to ask themselves the biggest question of all: Do Ratchet and Clank’s destinies lie with each other? Or is it finally time for the universe’s greatest duo to separate for good?

How exciting! Full thing after the break.
