- RedZone09, on 11/13/2007, -4/+24CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWLING IIIIIIIIIN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIN!
- noahgelman, on 11/13/2007, -4/+23Everyone knows the Japanese love their eyebrows. Seriously though, whats the point?
- kirashira, on 11/13/2007, -3/+19He must be pretty stupid in the American version then.
- SteveThePlank, on 11/13/2007, -3/+18Slow news day, or do people actually care about this?
- ThatEvilGuy, on 11/13/2007, -0/+14There is no American version, he'd he so fat in that version he wouldn't be able to move. Plus there would be mcdonalds logos all over the place.
- FlyCO, on 11/13/2007, -0/+10Serious Ratchet ò_ó
- inactive, on 11/13/2007, -3/+13Weird, has he always looked like that in the Japanese versions?
- gekkjo, on 05/05/2009, -0/+9I can confirm they did something similar in Ratchet Deadlocked. And from what I understand it's always been a Japanese request that he takes on a more "cartoony" look. Insomniac Games actually talks about this on one of there Developer Diaries on GameTrailers.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/27258.html (starts at about 4:05) - arcticblue, on 11/13/2007, -3/+12I have the Japanese version and I am playing on an American PS3. I guess the black eyebrows only show if your system is Japanese...that sucks because I wanted to see the goofy black eyebrows. Also, the game is bilingual. If you have your system's language set to English, the game is completely in English (don't know if the groovitron plays the American music though). If your system is set to Japanese, it copies the Japanese text and audio when you go back in to the game and the game is now fully Japanese.
- imikedaman, on 11/13/2007, -2/+10If you obsess over all the bad things in the world, you'll quickly end up emo or dead. Or a news anchor.
- inactive, on 11/13/2007, -3/+11Wow, this is... like... really important stuff to know.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 11/13/2007, -0/+7This will get me dugg down but....
I don't get it....
What does a Linkin Park reference have to do with this? - shinythingy, on 11/12/2007, -0/+6This has been the same for all the R&C games
- Dustmuffins, on 11/13/2007, -0/+6FOUND ONE!
- dumpling, on 11/14/2007, -0/+6you forgot to mention the crap load of eye glare added

Did a bit of digging around the duggmirror and checked source. - timusca, on 11/12/2007, -2/+7And Digg would call you an idiot.
- felman87, on 11/12/2007, -1/+6yes
- deathsquadx, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4gamebrink.com...it has game in the address so it must be legit.
- meruru, on 11/13/2007, -3/+7Unlike you
- ncnavguy, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4I think the Japanese Ratchet looks scary, maybe its just the angle from the pic, but he kind of looks like an animatron
- Alphateam, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4Why was it reported?
Because I thought he was extra happy because the French are always a cheery folk?
Oh...wait...what a jerk. I can't believe you would interperate my statement that way. Man you must really hate our homosexual friends. We should report you for being such a jerk. - chibimmy, on 11/12/2007, -0/+4Looks like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d4/Ratc ... ?
- Narcowski, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4Commented because I thought the replies here should be more than "Dugg for X"
- Zoids, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4That statement is retarded in so many ways...
- grat2001, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3If there were an American version he would just outsource the job to some PMC.
- johnmalc, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/7329 ...
Small things, liking changing him from "lovable and cool" to "haunt you at night" terrifying. - GeekyGerge, on 11/12/2007, -0/+3Picture here: http://ruliwebimg.empas.com/data/news8/11m/09/ps3/ ...
- canthraxp, on 11/12/2007, -0/+3I guess the japanese version will also include:
1.-A boss which it's main ability is a tentacle-related attack.
2.-Clank will evolve in a robotic but very human-like android dressed as a school girl making a ***** load of fan-services. And almost every joke in the game will involve ratchet touching one of clank's robotic breast, and he, flying ***** high into the sky by a insane punch, so hard that any Dragon ball character will fall on his knees shameful.
3.-Mix 1 (tentacle attack) and 2 (clank=schoolgirl) for the ultimate hentai game.
(I should stop watching this crap) - Lonecow, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3It's like if Ratchet and Eugene Levy had a child....
- LilJimmyNordin, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2Like the author.
- Dracusis, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2It's called special interest, and if it ended up on the front page hundreds of people disagree with you. It must suck being a minority.
- HappyScrappy, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2So apparently Korea gets the Japanese look.
- Hickeroar, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2Safari/Webkit ARE fully standards compliant you twit. IE and Firefox are NOT.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2I am sure Digg has a FAQ section detailing how many diggs are required in what period of time for an article to hit the front page.
- badjoke, on 11/13/2007, -1/+3Buried because you like Linkin Park.
- Archaic1, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1You're new to Digg aren't you?
- imdwalrus, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1At the moment, it looks like Duggmirror didn't get the images...which defeats the point entirely here. Darn.
- Exhaust, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1I think Bill was referring to the build up to the Iraq war... Everyone knows the French are surrender monkeys.
- Rahodeb, on 11/13/2007, -2/+3Yet you all berate the "big media" for their Britney Spears obsession. Animated eyebrows are larger in Japan, now there's a story
- twigboy, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1and the Americans love their furries...
- HappyScrappy, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1Also his head is bigger. 30% bigger according to the testers. If you look, his cheeks go out beyond his shoulders in the JPN version, but not in the US version.
- JudgeMonkey, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1I could say the same about some idiotic guy marrying a dog. That seems to be what gets you off so lets call it even. I haven't ever played a R&C game but it's kind of interesting that a model gets a complete change just for being in another region.
- badjoke, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1I think there's a lot of different variables, so there's no FAQ.
- seph200x, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Dammit, you beat me to it. Dugg for thinking like me. :)
- Sixcolors, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1Funniest change I ever saw was on the cover of the last Kirby DS game. On the Japanese cover his eyes are wide open, but I guess that was too cute for American gamers so they made him look angry on the US cover.
- LilJimmyNordin, on 11/13/2007, -2/+3The game is awesome. Also, you're an idiot.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, I distinctly remember from even the first game he was made to look like that in the Japanese version.
I think Crash had the same treatment as well.
I wonder what culture difference in Japan makes anthropomorphic animal videogame mascots with giant eyebrows more acceptable than the US version...
No seriously, anyone know why? - twigboy, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1reported for being an awesome comment?
