Ratchet & Clank is one of the most iconic series from the PlayStation 2 era. What you may not know, however, was that Insomniac first began development on a completely different game, which was tentatively known as Girl With a Stick. Appropriately enough, it starred a girl who had a stick, and it was much darker than games the studio had made before.
In an interview with IGN, Insomniac CEO Ted Price said the developer wanted to change direction after three Spyro the Dragon games on the PlayStation. The studio wanted to follow its audience and try “something that was a little more mature.” Girl With a Stick was originally a linear adventure game that took place in a fantasy-inspired world, which is a far cry from what Ratchet & Clank ended up being.
