Oops, we did it again. As it turns out, Courtney Gears is not that innocent. In fact, she may be involved with Dr. Nefarious and his plot to destroy all organic life in the galaxy.
Hopefully, we can use that to our advantage, getting close to our villain in the hopes of taking him out in time for the next episode of Janice and Lance.
One of the fun parts of going through the Obani Moons and Aridia is seeing how the cutscenes for both of those planets deliberately avoid making use of Clank/Clunk because players have the option of playing them both before and after going to Holostar Studios. In other words, the team at Insomniac can’t say with any degree of certainty whether Clank or Clunk is the one hanging around with Ratchet. It’s the kind of detail that is hard to unnotice once it gets noticed.
That said, Holostar Studios is another fascinating area, and one of the types of levels that I do adore in video games. As a rule, everything that exists in video games is artificial, simply due to the nature of the medium. When a level tasks the player to perform something that’s fake in-universe, like shooting a movie, the additional layer of abstraction allows us to play around with the artificial nature of what we’re doing.
It’s something I’ll always find amusing.
