* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Insomniac has stated that the game had an entire spreadsheet's worth of potential titles, with many of them being more [[DoubleEntendre innuendous]] than the final one. Some of the alternate titles include "4 Play," "Friends With Benefits," "Bros b4 Foes," and "Multiple Organisms." The first one ended up being used as the name of the game's platinum trophy, while the latter three were all reused as titles for issues of the [[ComicBook/RatchetAndClankComic comic miniseries]].
