I love the part that for three whole games, Ratchet has struggled with fame and recognition, and when Vox offers him all the popularity and merchandise he'd ever wanted, he refuses without a second thought. Ratchet grew so much since he started out...
He did say early on in the game it might not be so bad. "The fame, the money!" But clank quickly snapped him out of it. Reminding him heros died in this.
"Ratchet, don't let Vox do to you what he did to me. you're the hero now." Ace Hardlight really was that breaking point to prove him wanting fame and fortune was wrong and shift him from being a merc to a hero.
@Matthew Stevens because it deviated from the typical formula. Ratchet Deadlocked(Gladiator) is my favorite Ratchet and Clank game. Getting weapons to level 99. The replayability. The non stop action. The harbinger weapon. It was the greatest in my opinion. It pretty much stripped the "fat" and focused on 2 things. Shooting and acquiring weapons. To this day it's the only game I'd be ok with playing multiple times. I got the PS3 remaster years ago and played that. Hopefully we get a remake or a sequel at some point. It was a really good game.
@Matthew Stevens The co-op is good and well balanced. It surprises me too. It may be more shooter than platformer/less experimenting minigames and such like the past titles but that is a good thing. Some games need that and we got many games with the original format do I say why not for 1 entry. I like it though. I prefer 2 for mainline but it's a good side direction and the mods/alpha mods are a great system I want back and not the Raritanium system they keep giving us since Tools that I have hated since Tools came out. Then again people love Crack In Time and to me it's very different in a good way and people love it. I assume story wise as the moon levels/structure I think is great when there is very few story planets. But Insomniac didn't get the memo people like that of us that likes the gameplay only taking the story into consideration with the whole 'go back/deboot back' but we can't forget the reimagining audience of course. So they made later games too Tools of Destruction then Crack In Time but include Crack in Time boots and things but the rest as Tools Raritanium weapon skill trees and such. Things I don't know if fans care but I get sick of seeing. I don't like Tools carryovers. Nexus was a short game it made sense but I hated it in Reimagining and do in Rift Apart. Fans praise Crack in Time but they ignore the change. What studio does that. I can't think of a single game where fans praise it and the studio goes 'we will ignore the praise' or go 'thats too much effort' or that's what I interpret their response of not including it again in later entries. Again who ignores that when we praise it oh right. They ignore core fans sometimes and think about the not responding audience that doesn't talk back or think about certain areas of the game design and makes those elements happen then what I assume fans did ask for from Crack in Time not the pick and choose like it's some remix title when it feels like that to me at least with the odd decisions of gadget returns and certain game design. I don't know for sure the fanbase is big no clue who cares for what. Besides the OG series responses. Or those with story care than gameplay care.
Yes was amazing on the ps2 you could even get an adaptor to run 4 controllers and ratchet deadlocked was one of the only ps2 games i know that allow 4 player splitscreen on the ps2
Ęÿūį Æßñ for me, 2003-2016 Hope insomniacs next title is a ratchet game And hope for that crossover with spidey Like what if we got alternating spidey and ratchet games every second year, every third year spidey, and every first year nothing in order to smooth development.
No comment on the Co-Op? Start a session with a friend in the morning, Exterminator difficulty and play trough the game packed with non stop action. It's old school splitscreen and it's mad fun. I don't know how often I played this game with a friend and we just had massive fun playing trough it.
This is one of the biggest reasons why i want it for the ps4/5. There are literally no split screen games unless its cod and lets be honest, cod is running out of ideas. Plus the deathmatches in these games were great between 4 people.
Its weird that both the Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter franchises did this for their 4th games which worked, followed by generally disliked PSP games that were ported to PS2.
@Cynical Joker I liked size matters too but after watching some reviews, I can see why some people disliked it. And while the lost frontier had soooo much room for improvement, I'm a sucker for air combat and customizable things, so that softened the blow for me.
@Cynical Joker I know I'm very late but jak and daxter the lost frontier is my favourite psp game basicaly I grow up on it and some other platformers so it would explain why now I like ratchet and clank series(basicaly I'm too young to be with series from the begining because half year after I was born ratchet and clank 2 got released)
EYYY EYYY I See you lot down there jumping to conclusions on my entire opinion on all the "Future" games before I've talked about them properly. We'll get to them soon don't worry.
TheGamingBritShow what is your opinion about going commando I enjoyed it, but i like 3 more I do love ratchet and clank's character development in R&C 2002 and dislike his character in 2016
I absolutely adore Deadlocked's music! The overall grungy feel of it, makes it really stand out amongst the other games in the series. It's my favourite out of all of Ratchet & Clank and I'm glad we share the same opinion!
Reducing the weapon count was one of the best things the game did. Every gun is useful and means something, plus, as you said, the mods are so good and really allow for a personal armoury.
well, i wouldnt say *every* gun is useful XD. some of the weapons like the b6 obliterator do really piss poor damage and gets outclassed almost immediately by the hunter mine launcher.
@@an0bserver2000 depends on the situation. b6 obliterator is a grenade launcher, designed to deal with a group of enemies on the spot, while hunter mine launcher is an area denial weapon, with the mines needing to land 1st before locking on to an enemy
@@phoenix80823Not really. The Dual Vipers have perfect availability and stay competitive right up to endgame, and for crowd control, the Arbiter gets hopelessly outclassed by the Flail.
i remember when my mom bought me Ratchet and Clank for my PS2 years ago for my birthday. She said "The guy at the store said it was really popular with boys your age." I got the worst feeling from hearing her say that... which only made playing the game that much more of a pleasant surprise! (I should've learned my lesson when my mom bought me Donkey Kong Country some years earlier, and I had similar doubts.) In my opinion, the Ratchet and Clank series was the greatest franchise the PS2 had to offer, and every game was worth playing in it's own right: Ratchet 1 had, by far, the best environments. Everything else after that felt derivative in some way (reaching it's lowest point in Deadlocked). It had a solid identity as a platformer but the replay value was kinda "meh" considering the unlocks were golden guns which, while cool, weren't anything to write home about. (The R.Y.N.O. in this game was my second favourite. Ratchet 2 was groundbreaking for the series, setting the precedent for RPG-style character progression. Upgrading weapons by using them was intuitive and satisfying--i mean, who didn't love having your favourite guns get even better as you used them? The only real weaknesses of this game, for me, were exposed over time, as i found the plot kinda forgettable (if not annoying at times) and the upgrade system wasn't incredibly fleshed out. Ratchet 3 is by far one of my favourite games of all time. While I can respect the criticisms presented in this video of the game, the reasons they gave were exactly why it resonated with me: it was unabashedly goofy and had some of everyting. Classic platforming/puzzle sections. Arena battles. A friggin sidescroller, even! Every concept that was presented in RC2 was fleshed out and polished in ways i loved. In the end, I'm not surprised there's lots of people who don't agree with me, but this was my personal "peak" in the series. I would describe Deadlocked as "decadent," like chocolate cake. Looking at it makes your mouth water: it's Ratchet and Clank boiled down to the nitty gritty and cranked up to 11. 99 levels for every gun! with customization! upgrades galore! constant action! the plot was serviceable as well, and yet, like chocolate cake, I found myself having a few forkfuls and staring down the rest of the giant slice i had greedily placed onto my plate. There was a distinct lack of substance, of true savoriness. I'll never say the game was bad, but I always saw it as a spinoff... i never really accepted it as a true-to-heart Ratched and Clank game. After playing Size Matters and some of the PS3 release (i can't even remember the title, it was that forgettable... got it bundled with a PS3 controller. isn't that sad? Ratchet, demoted to a tie-in bonus with hardware, like Wii Play) I felt quite a bit of sadness. Enough to make this long-ass post in the comments section for a youtube video. That said, while I'm sad the series stagnated, I don't really despair. I have all the games and an old-fashioned fatty PS2 in the cupboard ready and waiting should I ever want to play them again. The games have aged well, and in an era which gave us countless classics, I'll always hold R&C in the highest regard. If you're still reading at this point, thanks. I hope you have a great day!
oh, i also forgot to mention: the R.Y.N.O. in Up Your Arsenal was by far one of the best weapons in any game. Fully upgrading it really made you feel like you had godlike power at your fingertips. Whole screens of enemies, turned to dust in a single trigger pull. haven't found a weapon in any game that really compares since.
I feel if they made a Deadlocked 2 now, it would do INSANELY well. With how much gun/combat is focused on by players now. The weapons, mods were some of the coolest imo.
The thing I love most about this game is how it absolutely *nailed* the tone; even though a fuzzy little guy is running through a gameshow course with the hosts slinging one-liners, yet it still manages to channel that kind of grit that so many other AAA games wish they could get their hands on.
Deadlocked felt like a Jak & Daxter game tonally. I liked that a lot. Would love to see that tone again. Maybe a return to the game type? Deadlocked made the Ratchet universe feel a bit darker and more layered.
i was really hoping the 2016 R&C reboot would be everything we all hoped for - same copy of the original R&C but with boosted graphics and without ratchet looking so fucking fluffy. i was pissed when i found out that they're making a movie and i never watched it because i know i'd fucking hate it
you only touched on it lightly, but the weapons are a big aspect of what makes this game so fun. while there are fewer of them compared to the other Ratchet games, even without the modifications they are all unique in design and function. and most importantly: they are all useful. other games had a lot of weapons that just weren't good enough
"The Harbinger is Vox Industries' answer to its two biggest competitors: The Apocolator and the RYNO. Shellshock says, "Those two guns are like sissies. Weak sissies from the sissiest place in Sissyland." The Harbinger, on the other hand, is the final word in gratuitous destruction. One tap of the trigger and you will lay a path of devastation from here to the other end of the Shadow Sector"
Gladiator was by far my favourite R&C game. The gameplay is just so visceral and fulfilling, and it really cuts the fluff from the rest of the series. It's also just plain hilarious and honestly has one of the best scripts in the series. Those announcers, as much as their lines are repeated, are so good. I hate that this game is so often relegated to black sheep status, even by the developers iirc.
@@yakoc04 nah, totes recommend it. Got hooked on the satisfying traversal mechanics, the combat was pretty streamlined but still fun enough to carry you until the end. It's a really good game, get it if you own a PS4. Insomniac delivers yet again.
Ratchet Deadlocked is still my favourite after all these years because it completely embraced the action from the previous games and expanded on it rather than continuing to make what seemed like the same game over and over.
I remember just the visuals of this game immersed me so much when I was younger and idk what it was the colour of the hud your ship the suits just little things drew me to this game and it’s still one of my favourite ratchet and clank games
If you want more than 5 hours of sleep, have a job, and take college courses.. then you have all of the above still as an adult. Although, yes there is still plenty of freedom.
Funny story about that four level difficulty setting, there’s a fifth one that unlocks with challenge mode. I’m sure just about everyone here knows that, but the weird thing is if you restart your game on the normal mode without challenge mode. It turns out you still have that five star difficulty setting even though you don’t have the challenge mode weapons. Me and my friend regularly restarted the game every month or so when we had a chance to hang out again. Mind you we’re both veterans of the series by this point but we’re still getting wiped every now and again and multiple times on some challenges. Took awhile before we realized that you’re not supposed to be able to play on that difficulty without challenge mode weapons. My friend was not happy with me screwing us over every time by restarting the game every time on the 5 star difficulty without the weapons made for that mode. Had a great time tho, speaking of which best co-op out of the entire series
I remember not coping with Deadlocked as a child so well, it felt different and had a different vibe for me than the original trilogy. However, after a few years of getting gud, I decided to go back and try this game for real and I had an absolute blast with it! I hope more people give Deadlocked a fair chance and don't disqualify it just because it lacks Clank and the usual Ratchet formula.
I loved deadlocked, but for some reason the third game just resonated with me. I loved the weapons so much and the gameplay in new game plus felt even more rewarding than the normal game for some reason. I was so excited to se how the weapons would evolve as I fought with them. And they provided a good incentive to not get hit aside from keeping your health. I also loved the comedy in that game like crazy. It was right up my ally as a kid. It was just my kind of game.
Great job on another great video gamingbrit. Deadlocked actually got accepted into Summer Games Done Quick this year, so it'll be the first time at a GDQ we'll see a deadlocked runner pull off a great live run.
See, Up Your Arsenal was my favorite, followed by this one. I feel like that's because the 3rd one was my first experience with the game, and I was fascinated at that point. Not long after I played this one, I played the 2nd one. That was also amazing. Then Deadlocked came out. And it was my favorite thing ever. I played one save file so many times my bolt count got maxed. It was like a thing to do. Get home from school, procrastinate homework, then play through Deadlocked once.
I remember deadlocked so much. I loved it as a kid. It gave that heartfelt feeling when you find out that the massacre you've been enjoying as ratchet is exactly what ace hardlight did as well. Only for him, there was no end until you ended him. For me it helped solidify ratchet as a true heroe because it gave him resolve in his heart. Also the I wished they brought back the AI combat bots. They were funny and fun
You earned my respect. I have completed all 4 games at 100% (yes I'm flexing, sorry XD) and I'll say, if you really recognized that mission from the framerate I think that you and me would beat the shit out of the whole Sector at Exterminator difficulty in no time.
I might be alone in this, but R&C was the first ps2 game I got, so I played it like 40 times through. As I got more games, I started replaying them less and less. Deadlocked, coming out in 05, I only played maybe 3 or 4 times through. It's not that I didn't like it, just that I didn't play it enough to remember it as fondly as I do the rest, if any of that makes sense.
Harris Zeboki I don’t think Deadlocked is the best PS2 era RaC game, but I still don’t get why so many people shit on it? I get that you have less freedom than previous games and is much different, but I honestly like it a lot. It was made to emphasize combat in the game (ya know, the thing that the whole series is based upon and revolves around?). Something I see a lot is people accusing it of taking Clank out of levels. Correct me if you feel that I’m wrong, but before ACiT Clank rarely ever had a major impact on the games in terms of his own stand alone levels. I was never wowed by his levels until ACiT unless you count the Clank battles from previous games as a Clank level, and even those never seriously had me replaying them except for the moon level fight against the Thugs 4 Less guy in RaC2 (see, memorable!). I barely even noticed Clank missing in Deadlocked throughout levels except for in the beginning when I tried rocket boosting through parts of a level I’ve already cleared. I was a bit nervous going into Deadlocked thinking it’d be bad, but I personally enjoyed it so much! I even played through it 3-4 times to 100% it. I played all side and main missions until I was getting the minimum amount of bolts from completing them possible, fully upgraded all weapons, got all playing cards, got all achievements, etc.
Ratchet Deadlocked was the game that 100% brought me into the Ratchet universe. Still to this day i get nostolgic whever i hear anything vaguely similar to the reporters from this masterpiece
I really liked Deadlocked. Played it a couple months ago again. I really love the gameplay and the athmosphere of every planet and area. Feels really different from other R&C games. Plus, probably none of the weapons sucked.
Deadlocked and the actual OG first game were an introduction to the franchise for me, but my first one owned was Up Your Arsenal. Next was Going Commando, and after that I collected the rest through the years. But Deadlocked will always have a place for me since it was the first RAC game I ever played.
This game is one of my favorites from the series as a whole. I'd say combat wise, it was the most fun among the previous 3, and I definitely agree with you on the OST. I find it to be a bit of a shame it was panned by so many people or at least seen as the black sheep because exploration was taken out of it. Personally, this was a game that I used to play just to escape the stress of my family and school life for how overwhelming it all felt. This video, I cannot help but appreciate the memories I had with the game. Thanks man, thank you so much, if I were able to get any sort of access to the TH-cam Red service (it's been 4 years and they did nothing) I would binge all of your videos so I could help you out.
man i used to play this online back on the PS2. i was such an addict. good times, the community was small but we practically all knew each other. We didn't have any of those annoying screaming kids from cod like we have today, none of that loot box crap, it was just you, your gun, and lotsa killing. shame with the ps3 remake the community was dead on arrival.
I always loved Deadlocked (or Gladiator) as a kid! Always thought it was a great time! Heck, it was even kinda fun to playthrough the game with a friend! The PS2 Ratchet games were christmas morning gold for me. Sly and Jak aswell! Though TGBS, you've now spoken about the First, third and fourth ratchet game (aswell as the reboot of the first one).. But you have yet to make a video (as far as I'm aware of) about the 2nd (and my personal favorite) Ratchet and Clank game: Going Commando! I would love to see a video about it! I mean you've already talked about 1, 3, 4 and 1rebooted, so fits to finish it all off, and talk about the 2nd one aswell right? Your choice of course, but I just think it could be cool to see!
I just loved the weapon mod system so much. Combining the mods with different weapons was so much fun for my kid brain, similarly to how Kirby and the Crystal Shards and its ability combining system kept my entertained for countless hours.
This was my first and favorite ratchet game. Thanks for giving credit where credit is due instead of dismissing it like so many others (looking at you insomniac)
" When it comes to edgy-looking cartoon rats with guns, if Shadow the Hedgehog is your weird low-budget telenovela crime drama, then Ratchet: Deadlocked is Breaking Bad. " damn that comparison goes hard xD
Stygia - Energy Collector Ghost Station - Running the gauntlet Torval - The Turn On Kronos - Infiltrate the cathredral Marauder tournament - advanced qualifier Shaar - Landstalker stalkin' These are some of the best, you're welcome
One of my favorite things about deadlocked was the number of upgrades I could buy for my bots. At max upgrades I remember them being a pretty good source of additional damage.
Deadlocked is a great game but I wouldn’t say it’s one of my favourite Ratchet games, despite what you said about 3 in the previous vid I’d say that one is my favourite with 2 very slightly behind it, IMO 3 had the best weapon selection in the series.
Heyyy didn't expect to find you here, small internet. Agreed, I played all of these games up to FFA, the ps2 ones were the best, and 3 still has the best weapon variety. I think 2 has the best level 1 music though, between hearing the Aranos intro stage and the Oozla theme, you would think you were about to fight the final boss.
endneo oh hey I didn’t expect to see you here, though I guess it makes sense that a DMC fan watches TGBS. Anyways here’s how I see the original trilogy, 1 has the most polished levels but the least polished gameplay, 3 has the most polished gameplay but the least polished levels, 2 sits in the middle of that.
I just saw the vid as new in my recommended and clicked on it before I knew it was TGB, then was pleasantly surprised when I heard charlie's voice. And equally surprised that he was so positive about the game (glad he was, it deserves more love).
The games were too glitchy in the ps3 port that it really destroys my immersion. Games Like deadlocked are the reasons I still turn on my PS2 till this day.
This has always been my favorite R&C game. It would be R&C2 but... I haaaaate the ring races with a passion. It brings that whole game down for me and keeps me from wanting to replay it as much as I do Deadlocked.
This game was the best . I can remember i had so much feels as ratchet soloing the whole dreadzone tournament as a true hell of a badass space dude . Maaaan i miss this game so much . And the musics ... Great vid man ty , felt good to remember all about this game and why i just love it :)
*sees video title, thinks it says Ratchet Deadlocked Suck* Me: Nigga *watches video till then end looks at title again sees it says sick* *nods in approval, likes video*
I like when you get your weapons upgrade in Ratchet deadlock and then you go into the arena and do some of these heavy responding enemy challenges and the game just legs out very bad from all the gunfire.
This game has stayed hidden in the recesses of my mind for a long while from playing it as a kid, I didn't remember what game it was. All I really remembered was that customization menu, but this video is bringing back memories in the gameplay footage. I'm glad I finally found it and this was entertaining to watch.
I love Ratchet and Clank 1, and Going Commando for it's story and exploration as well as combat. I love Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal for the combat and military-ish linearity. I love Ratchet and Clank Deadlocked for it's Gladiator type style and the second best combat (Going Commando being my top favorite). Ratchet and Clank Future - Gameplay is okay, wasn't into the story at all. Ratchet and Clank remake for PS4 - We're not even going to talk about that one.
@@Snairster Actual his opinion it's very objective, unlike the video opinions. The future saga totally renewed the brand and gave him a new very good soul. What do you think, that 726438 games on *C O N S U M E R I S M* are going to be forever appreciated? The first 4 games are good, they've born still in the begninning era of "complicated" games and they've done good, but a game like that, wouldn't be grate anymore in our ear of videogames. Don't get me wrong, I like them (except for the first one that really sucks hard). I still enjoy them, especially the 2nd and 3rd, but the future saga is way above them because they bring a serious plot, the saga wasn't anymore "Play as Ratchet and kill the villain", it begun to show herself into a totally different way (and we're not talking about the improvements in mechanics and gameplay). And the Reboot game, even if it has some bad things, it's very stupid the way that is hated only because people can't reason with their mind but have to follow a person who says on youtube that the last RC game was bad because wasn't talking about *C O N S U M E R I S M*, or because "man, do you hear this music... Man it's grate... Than listen to this one, it's bad uh?" (Than let's ignore all the other soundtracks or all the other details of the game and talk only about the things that i can make appear bad).
Quite possibly my favorite game ever, I remember having ungodly amounts of fun with this as a kid. Idk how many times I’ve replayed it but it’s fun every single time
Ratchet and clank going commando and deadlocked had some of the best weapons in the series. The dual raptors had to be the most satisfying full auto option, the fact that you could increase the ROF and damage followed by an elemental mod of your choice (I LOVED the shock mod on the raptors with all fire rate mods lol) and the shotgun from ratchet 3 evolved into nothing short of an Atomic breath cannon, it wasn't the most powerful weapon but it sure was up there, I think it started out as the Blitz gun? Not sure but yeah, I miss those games, I would always play them in first person unless I needed to do a platforming section, but you could tell they were trying to go for something like Doom but with a "Y" axis, good stuff lol
Deadlocked has been me and my best friends favourite coop game since practically forever, once we took one of our ps2 to France on vacation and it was all the entertainment we needed at the apartment.

I love the part that for three whole games, Ratchet has struggled with fame and recognition, and when Vox offers him all the popularity and merchandise he'd ever wanted, he refuses without a second thought. Ratchet grew so much since he started out...
He matured alot
He did say early on in the game it might not be so bad. "The fame, the money!" But clank quickly snapped him out of it. Reminding him heros died in this.
He does have multiple moments in this very game where he seems to be enjoying the situation though.
"Ratchet, don't let Vox do to you what he did to me. you're the hero now."
Ace Hardlight really was that breaking point to prove him wanting fame and fortune was wrong and shift him from being a merc to a hero.
Wait till u play rift apart
I had no idea what I was watching. This was called Ratchet Gladiator for me.
In USA its called ratchet deadlocked while in Europe and Australia its called ratchet gladiator
me too
Deadlocked is a better name than something as generic and on-the-nose as Gladiator.
@@percher4824 well Gladiator is actually more accurate if the plot of the game involves you fighting in an arena
@@raphaelinghels41 well deadlocked incites the idea that he's "locked" in a situation or he'll be dead. It makes sense.

@Matthew Stevens because it deviated from the typical formula. Ratchet Deadlocked(Gladiator) is my favorite Ratchet and Clank game. Getting weapons to level 99. The replayability. The non stop action. The harbinger weapon. It was the greatest in my opinion. It pretty much stripped the "fat" and focused on 2 things. Shooting and acquiring weapons.
To this day it's the only game I'd be ok with playing multiple times. I got the PS3 remaster years ago and played that. Hopefully we get a remake or a sequel at some point. It was a really good game.
@Matthew Stevens The co-op is good and well balanced. It surprises me too. It may be more shooter than platformer/less experimenting minigames and such like the past titles but that is a good thing. Some games need that and we got many games with the original format do I say why not for 1 entry. I like it though. I prefer 2 for mainline but it's a good side direction and the mods/alpha mods are a great system I want back and not the Raritanium system they keep giving us since Tools that I have hated since Tools came out.
Then again people love Crack In Time and to me it's very different in a good way and people love it. I assume story wise as the moon levels/structure I think is great when there is very few story planets. But Insomniac didn't get the memo people like that of us that likes the gameplay only taking the story into consideration with the whole 'go back/deboot back' but we can't forget the reimagining audience of course. So they made later games too Tools of Destruction then Crack In Time but include Crack in Time boots and things but the rest as Tools Raritanium weapon skill trees and such.
Things I don't know if fans care but I get sick of seeing. I don't like Tools carryovers.
Nexus was a short game it made sense but I hated it in Reimagining and do in Rift Apart.
Fans praise Crack in Time but they ignore the change. What studio does that.
I can't think of a single game where fans praise it and the studio goes 'we will ignore the praise' or go 'thats too much effort' or that's what I interpret their response of not including it again in later entries. Again who ignores that when we praise it oh right. They ignore core fans sometimes and think about the not responding audience that doesn't talk back or think about certain areas of the game design and makes those elements happen then what I assume fans did ask for from Crack in Time not the pick and choose like it's some remix title when it feels like that to me at least with the odd decisions of gadget returns and certain game design. I don't know for sure the fanbase is big no clue who cares for what. Besides the OG series responses. Or those with story care than gameplay care.

And hope for that crossover with spidey
Like what if we got alternating spidey and ratchet games every second year, every third year spidey, and every first year nothing in order to smooth development.
It's not your life still? I'm on my 52nd play through of the original.
@@judasblackheart2651 forreal. I'm 19 I still play it. No shame. It's too good to get rid of the game or stop playing ever so often
For me
2002 - Its still a big Part in my Life.
I'm still playing Deadlocked today
First time in 2 years lol
No comment on the Co-Op?
Start a session with a friend in the morning, Exterminator difficulty and play trough the game packed with non stop action.
It's old school splitscreen and it's mad fun. I don't know how often I played this game with a friend and we just had massive fun playing trough it.
Ciphercdr oh the fact you both had to stay close and use the same weapons. So communication was key.
Grind rails were such a pain, running out of ammo at halfway trough them.
This is one of the biggest reasons why i want it for the ps4/5. There are literally no split screen games unless its cod and lets be honest, cod is running out of ideas. Plus the deathmatches in these games were great between 4 people.
I feel you man those where the golden days😏
I even played it on one of my birthdays in coop with 2 other friends,always switching,when one person died
the funny thing is that this game has way more platforming in it than Up Your Arsenal despite not having Clank.
The best part of that game for me was the customization and unlocking suits for me. I was trying to look badass af
This. You can pimp out your buddy robots too
There is some hidden bonus skins you can get.
Ones from the java phone game called going mobile
And a jak skin if you have jak x on your save on ps2.
I just loved the backup bots you get in the game. They're they best part about Deadlocked.

So 2000s
4 was so different, they tired something new, but it worked.... really well.,
Its weird that both the Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter franchises did this for their 4th games which worked, followed by generally disliked PSP games that were ported to PS2.
@Cynical Joker I liked size matters too but after watching some reviews, I can see why some people disliked it. And while the lost frontier had soooo much room for improvement, I'm a sucker for air combat and customizable things, so that softened the blow for me.
@Cynical Joker I know I'm very late but jak and daxter the lost frontier is my favourite psp game basicaly I grow up on it and some other platformers so it would explain why now I like ratchet and clank series(basicaly I'm too young to be with series from the begining because half year after I was born ratchet and clank 2 got released)
EYYY EYYY I See you lot down there jumping to conclusions on my entire opinion on all the "Future" games before I've talked about them properly. We'll get to them soon don't worry.

I enjoyed it, but i like 3 more
I do love ratchet and clank's character development in R&C 2002 and dislike his character in 2016
I absolutely adore Deadlocked's music! The overall grungy feel of it, makes it really stand out amongst the other games in the series. It's my favourite out of all of Ratchet & Clank and I'm glad we share the same opinion!
Shout outs to my boys Merc and Green
Love those guys
Those guys are still my favorite co-op squadmates from any game.
"sorry boss."
When hearing the Green backstory on Torval
I cri evrytiem
I'm surprised they weren't mentioned honestly
The classic "Rookie and Sarge" duo; so cliched, but still so good.
Reducing the weapon count was one of the best things the game did. Every gun is useful and means something, plus, as you said, the mods are so good and really allow for a personal armoury.
The Doom Eternal approach, before Doom Eternal
well, i wouldnt say *every* gun is useful XD. some of the weapons like the b6 obliterator do really piss poor damage and gets outclassed almost immediately by the hunter mine launcher.
The arbiter solos the whole game the moment you get it and every other weapon struggles to remain relevant.
@@an0bserver2000 depends on the situation. b6 obliterator is a grenade launcher, designed to deal with a group of enemies on the spot, while hunter mine launcher is an area denial weapon, with the mines needing to land 1st before locking on to an enemy
@@phoenix80823Not really. The Dual Vipers have perfect availability and stay competitive right up to endgame, and for crowd control, the Arbiter gets hopelessly outclassed by the Flail.
i remember when my mom bought me Ratchet and Clank for my PS2 years ago for my birthday. She said "The guy at the store said it was really popular with boys your age." I got the worst feeling from hearing her say that... which only made playing the game that much more of a pleasant surprise! (I should've learned my lesson when my mom bought me Donkey Kong Country some years earlier, and I had similar doubts.)
In my opinion, the Ratchet and Clank series was the greatest franchise the PS2 had to offer, and every game was worth playing in it's own right:
Ratchet 1 had, by far, the best environments. Everything else after that felt derivative in some way (reaching it's lowest point in Deadlocked). It had a solid identity as a platformer but the replay value was kinda "meh" considering the unlocks were golden guns which, while cool, weren't anything to write home about. (The R.Y.N.O. in this game was my second favourite.
Ratchet 2 was groundbreaking for the series, setting the precedent for RPG-style character progression. Upgrading weapons by using them was intuitive and satisfying--i mean, who didn't love having your favourite guns get even better as you used them? The only real weaknesses of this game, for me, were exposed over time, as i found the plot kinda forgettable (if not annoying at times) and the upgrade system wasn't incredibly fleshed out.
Ratchet 3 is by far one of my favourite games of all time. While I can respect the criticisms presented in this video of the game, the reasons they gave were exactly why it resonated with me: it was unabashedly goofy and had some of everyting. Classic platforming/puzzle sections. Arena battles. A friggin sidescroller, even! Every concept that was presented in RC2 was fleshed out and polished in ways i loved. In the end, I'm not surprised there's lots of people who don't agree with me, but this was my personal "peak" in the series.
I would describe Deadlocked as "decadent," like chocolate cake. Looking at it makes your mouth water: it's Ratchet and Clank boiled down to the nitty gritty and cranked up to 11. 99 levels for every gun! with customization! upgrades galore! constant action! the plot was serviceable as well, and yet, like chocolate cake, I found myself having a few forkfuls and staring down the rest of the giant slice i had greedily placed onto my plate. There was a distinct lack of substance, of true savoriness. I'll never say the game was bad, but I always saw it as a spinoff... i never really accepted it as a true-to-heart Ratched and Clank game.
After playing Size Matters and some of the PS3 release (i can't even remember the title, it was that forgettable... got it bundled with a PS3 controller. isn't that sad? Ratchet, demoted to a tie-in bonus with hardware, like Wii Play) I felt quite a bit of sadness. Enough to make this long-ass post in the comments section for a youtube video. That said, while I'm sad the series stagnated, I don't really despair. I have all the games and an old-fashioned fatty PS2 in the cupboard ready and waiting should I ever want to play them again. The games have aged well, and in an era which gave us countless classics, I'll always hold R&C in the highest regard.
If you're still reading at this point, thanks. I hope you have a great day!
oh, i also forgot to mention: the R.Y.N.O. in Up Your Arsenal was by far one of the best weapons in any game. Fully upgrading it really made you feel like you had godlike power at your fingertips. Whole screens of enemies, turned to dust in a single trigger pull. haven't found a weapon in any game that really compares since.

You like weapons ? Great whe have nice Pixelizer! BUY THE F*CKING PIXELIZER !!!
I feel if they made a Deadlocked 2 now, it would do INSANELY well. With how much gun/combat is focused on by players now. The weapons, mods were some of the coolest imo.
They don’t have what it takes. Not anymore.
The thing I love most about this game is how it absolutely *nailed* the tone; even though a fuzzy little guy is running through a gameshow course with the hosts slinging one-liners, yet it still manages to channel that kind of grit that so many other AAA games wish they could get their hands on.
GOOD VID GOOD VID GOOD VID

It's the SBB! Now it's a party!
"You don't sell the steak kids, you sell the sizzle and Ratchet is hot! Tssssss. D'ya feel that Juanita?"
Deadlocked felt like a Jak & Daxter game tonally. I liked that a lot. Would love to see that tone again. Maybe a return to the game type? Deadlocked made the Ratchet universe feel a bit darker and more layered.
I loved Ratchet and Clank 3!! Anyways, I wish they would remaster Deadlocked, Size Matters, and Secret Agent Clank for PS4!
i was really hoping the 2016 R&C reboot would be everything we all hoped for - same copy of the original R&C but with boosted graphics and without ratchet looking so fucking fluffy. i was pissed when i found out that they're making a movie and i never watched it because i know i'd fucking hate it
@@gus-187 IMO the movie wasn't bad but the fact that it was integrated into the game kinda ruined the story. The gameplay is still solid tho.
Lance The movie was actually pretty cute. Got some good laughs too. Definitely aimed for kids but it was still enjoyable. I liked the reboot too!
Bringing Secret agent clank back Would be THE BEST.

you only touched on it lightly, but the weapons are a big aspect of what makes this game so fun. while there are fewer of them compared to the other Ratchet games, even without the modifications they are all unique in design and function. and most importantly: they are all useful. other games had a lot of weapons that just weren't good enough
Agreed. The Dual Vipers are still my favorite weapons in the series, they were so sick when you maxed out their level.

"The Harbinger is Vox Industries' answer to its two biggest competitors: The Apocolator and the RYNO. Shellshock says, "Those two guns are like sissies. Weak sissies from the sissiest place in Sissyland." The Harbinger, on the other hand, is the final word in gratuitous destruction. One tap of the trigger and you will lay a path of devastation from here to the other end of the Shadow Sector"
putting the electric upgrade on the dual vipers made them nigh invincible.
"all useful" Holoshield, anyone?
Gladiator was by far my favourite R&C game. The gameplay is just so visceral and fulfilling, and it really cuts the fluff from the rest of the series. It's also just plain hilarious and honestly has one of the best scripts in the series. Those announcers, as much as their lines are repeated, are so good. I hate that this game is so often relegated to black sheep status, even by the developers iirc.
Yeah, it's nice to see a video that finally gives this game the credit it deserves.
PS2 Ratchet was the best ♥️
my brother and I would play deadlock for days on end. couch coop was the BEST.

@@yakoc04 nah, totes recommend it. Got hooked on the satisfying traversal mechanics, the combat was pretty streamlined but still fun enough to carry you until the end. It's a really good game, get it if you own a PS4. Insomniac delivers yet again.
Ratchet Deadlocked is still my favourite after all these years because it completely embraced the action from the previous games and expanded on it rather than continuing to make what seemed like the same game over and over.
DatPootis true dat plus it doesn't help that it was my introduction to the franchise so there's that as well
Absolutely hit the nail on the head. Same reason for me.
For me the best part was the vast amount and varying types of gadgets and weapons that sold the game. Dreadlocked was lacking in this department.
Well, looks like it's about time I play Ratchet: Deadlocked again.
I remember just the visuals of this game immersed me so much when I was younger and idk what it was the colour of the hud your ship the suits just little things drew me to this game and it’s still one of my favourite ratchet and clank games
In my country the game was named “Ratchet Gladiator”. In what region was “Deadlocked” used?

I miss being a kid...
If you want more than 5 hours of sleep, have a job, and take college courses.. then you have all of the above still as an adult. Although, yes there is still plenty of freedom.
Funny story about that four level difficulty setting, there’s a fifth one that unlocks with challenge mode. I’m sure just about everyone here knows that, but the weird thing is if you restart your game on the normal mode without challenge mode. It turns out you still have that five star difficulty setting even though you don’t have the challenge mode weapons. Me and my friend regularly restarted the game every month or so when we had a chance to hang out again. Mind you we’re both veterans of the series by this point but we’re still getting wiped every now and again and multiple times on some challenges. Took awhile before we realized that you’re not supposed to be able to play on that difficulty without challenge mode weapons. My friend was not happy with me screwing us over every time by restarting the game every time on the 5 star difficulty without the weapons made for that mode. Had a great time tho, speaking of which best co-op out of the entire series
I remember not coping with Deadlocked as a child so well, it felt different and had a different vibe for me than the original trilogy.
However, after a few years of getting gud, I decided to go back and try this game for real and I had an absolute blast with it!
I hope more people give Deadlocked a fair chance and don't disqualify it just because it lacks Clank and the usual Ratchet formula.
I remember seeing the tv ad for this with my parents, leading to them buying the game for me when it came out
I loved deadlocked, but for some reason the third game just resonated with me. I loved the weapons so much and the gameplay in new game plus felt even more rewarding than the normal game for some reason. I was so excited to se how the weapons would evolve as I fought with them. And they provided a good incentive to not get hit aside from keeping your health. I also loved the comedy in that game like crazy. It was right up my ally as a kid. It was just my kind of game.
Great job on another great video gamingbrit. Deadlocked actually got accepted into Summer Games Done Quick this year, so it'll be the first time at a GDQ we'll see a deadlocked runner pull off a great live run.
Good shit as usual, but I'm pretty bummed that you sold out and put an advert for Pixelizers smack in the middle of the video.

I literally, with a friend, replayed this game 23 times on just one file. It was fun.
Surprised you didn't bring up the robot companions, those were fun to customize
See, Up Your Arsenal was my favorite, followed by this one.
I feel like that's because the 3rd one was my first experience with the game, and I was fascinated at that point. Not long after I played this one, I played the 2nd one. That was also amazing.
Then Deadlocked came out. And it was my favorite thing ever. I played one save file so many times my bolt count got maxed.
It was like a thing to do. Get home from school, procrastinate homework, then play through Deadlocked once.
I remember deadlocked so much. I loved it as a kid. It gave that heartfelt feeling when you find out that the massacre you've been enjoying as ratchet is exactly what ace hardlight did as well. Only for him, there was no end until you ended him. For me it helped solidify ratchet as a true heroe because it gave him resolve in his heart. Also the I wished they brought back the AI combat bots. They were funny and fun
"linear level"
literally you said that while in a sewer maze
Just one of 2 non linear levels on UYA.
Except that Aquatos doesn't really count because only a third of it is "open world" exploring
i hated the sewer maze compared to the open desert and iceland exploration levels on R&C 2
This is why Ratcht Gladiator and Ratchet and Clank 2 are my favourites, the best of both worlds without having to compromize like 3 did.
Unrelated story: I had a friend on PS3 the last words I heard from him were: "my disk slot isn't working I'm gonna get a new place PS3"

“Endzone” (Swarmer Soccer) challenge. Any Deadlocked vets know the framerate feel.
You earned my respect. I have completed all 4 games at 100% (yes I'm flexing, sorry XD) and I'll say, if you really recognized that mission from the framerate I think that you and me would beat the shit out of the whole Sector at Exterminator difficulty in no time.
An yes, Leviathan Flail + Endzone = 5fps
Still one of the most fun challenges in the game though
That was my favorite challenge
Deadlocked is a real gem, sucks that its HD version is so... problematic, would've been nice to have a more polished port for newer consoles.
You'd probably have better luck with Software Emulation unfortunatley.
I still have my PS2 copy, my comment was more a general lament than a complaint in regards to my own ability to play
This game is a goddamned masterpiece.
FINALLY, ANOTHER MAN WHO GETS IT! Sorry ya butt hurt fans, But Deadlocked IS GOOD
I might be alone in this, but R&C was the first ps2 game I got, so I played it like 40 times through. As I got more games, I started replaying them less and less. Deadlocked, coming out in 05, I only played maybe 3 or 4 times through. It's not that I didn't like it, just that I didn't play it enough to remember it as fondly as I do the rest, if any of that makes sense.
Harris Zeboki I don’t think Deadlocked is the best PS2 era RaC game, but I still don’t get why so many people shit on it? I get that you have less freedom than previous games and is much different, but I honestly like it a lot. It was made to emphasize combat in the game (ya know, the thing that the whole series is based upon and revolves around?). Something I see a lot is people accusing it of taking Clank out of levels. Correct me if you feel that I’m wrong, but before ACiT Clank rarely ever had a major impact on the games in terms of his own stand alone levels. I was never wowed by his levels until ACiT unless you count the Clank battles from previous games as a Clank level, and even those never seriously had me replaying them except for the moon level fight against the Thugs 4 Less guy in RaC2 (see, memorable!). I barely even noticed Clank missing in Deadlocked throughout levels except for in the beginning when I tried rocket boosting through parts of a level I’ve already cleared. I was a bit nervous going into Deadlocked thinking it’d be bad, but I personally enjoyed it so much! I even played through it 3-4 times to 100% it. I played all side and main missions until I was getting the minimum amount of bolts from completing them possible, fully upgraded all weapons, got all playing cards, got all achievements, etc.
I FUCKING LOVED DEADLOCKED, it was my favorite.
I don't know what this deadlocked thing is. this game is and WILL ALWAYS be called Gladiator... at least to me
@Fluorama
Silly europeans.
Basically Deadlocked is Doom Eternal of Ratchet
Ratchet Deadlocked was the game that 100% brought me into the Ratchet universe. Still to this day i get nostolgic whever i hear anything vaguely similar to the reporters from this masterpiece
I really liked Deadlocked. Played it a couple months ago again. I really love the gameplay and the athmosphere of every planet and area. Feels really different from other R&C games. Plus, probably none of the weapons sucked.
HYPERNOVA!!!!!!!
Deadlocked and the actual OG first game were an introduction to the franchise for me, but my first one owned was Up Your Arsenal. Next was Going Commando, and after that I collected the rest through the years. But Deadlocked will always have a place for me since it was the first RAC game I ever played.
This game is one of my favorites from the series as a whole. I'd say combat wise, it was the most fun among the previous 3, and I definitely agree with you on the OST. I find it to be a bit of a shame it was panned by so many people or at least seen as the black sheep because exploration was taken out of it. Personally, this was a game that I used to play just to escape the stress of my family and school life for how overwhelming it all felt. This video, I cannot help but appreciate the memories I had with the game. Thanks man, thank you so much, if I were able to get any sort of access to the TH-cam Red service (it's been 4 years and they did nothing) I would binge all of your videos so I could help you out.
4 years later, i can still say with a passion, ratchet deadlock is still in my top 4 favorite ratchet and clank games
man i used to play this online back on the PS2. i was such an addict. good times, the community was small but we practically all knew each other. We didn't have any of those annoying screaming kids from cod like we have today, none of that loot box crap, it was just you, your gun, and lotsa killing. shame with the ps3 remake the community was dead on arrival.
Yo Ace Hardlight
Where can I get a pair of shades my eye brows can poke out of?
I always loved Deadlocked (or Gladiator) as a kid! Always thought it was a great time! Heck, it was even kinda fun to playthrough the game with a friend!
The PS2 Ratchet games were christmas morning gold for me. Sly and Jak aswell!
Though TGBS, you've now spoken about the First, third and fourth ratchet game (aswell as the reboot of the first one).. But you have yet to make a video (as far as I'm aware of) about the 2nd (and my personal favorite) Ratchet and Clank game: Going Commando!
I would love to see a video about it! I mean you've already talked about 1, 3, 4 and 1rebooted, so fits to finish it all off, and talk about the 2nd one aswell right?
Your choice of course, but I just think it could be cool to see!
I just loved the weapon mod system so much. Combining the mods with different weapons was so much fun for my kid brain, similarly to how Kirby and the Crystal Shards and its ability combining system kept my entertained for countless hours.
Ratchet deadlock was my favorite game of all time as a kid I replayed that game so many times with my brother it was so good
This was my first and favorite ratchet game. Thanks for giving credit where credit is due instead of dismissing it like so many others (looking at you insomniac)
" When it comes to edgy-looking cartoon rats with guns, if Shadow the Hedgehog is your weird low-budget telenovela crime drama, then Ratchet: Deadlocked is Breaking Bad. "
damn that comparison goes hard xD
The soundtrack was sooo badass on deadlocked
Stygia - Energy Collector
Ghost Station - Running the gauntlet
Torval - The Turn On
Kronos - Infiltrate the cathredral
Marauder tournament - advanced qualifier
Shaar - Landstalker stalkin'
These are some of the best, you're welcome
One of my favorite things about deadlocked was the number of upgrades I could buy for my bots. At max upgrades I remember them being a pretty good source of additional damage.
Deadlocked is a great game but I wouldn’t say it’s one of my favourite Ratchet games, despite what you said about 3 in the previous vid I’d say that one is my favourite with 2 very slightly behind it, IMO 3 had the best weapon selection in the series.
MechaMike98 that it did
Heyyy didn't expect to find you here, small internet.
Agreed, I played all of these games up to FFA, the ps2 ones were the best, and 3 still has the best weapon variety. I think 2 has the best level 1 music though, between hearing the Aranos intro stage and the Oozla theme, you would think you were about to fight the final boss.
endneo oh hey I didn’t expect to see you here, though I guess it makes sense that a DMC fan watches TGBS. Anyways here’s how I see the original trilogy, 1 has the most polished levels but the least polished gameplay, 3 has the most polished gameplay but the least polished levels, 2 sits in the middle of that.
I just saw the vid as new in my recommended and clicked on it before I knew it was TGB, then was pleasantly surprised when I heard charlie's voice. And equally surprised that he was so positive about the game (glad he was, it deserves more love).
in my opinion its 2, 1, 3, and deadlocked (which to me is basically RC 4)
The games were too glitchy in the ps3 port that it really destroys my immersion. Games Like deadlocked are the reasons I still turn on my PS2 till this day.
I swear this is my favorite game in the series so thank you for this video! You just gained yourself a subscriber as well. Keep up the great videos. 👍
The more of your videos I watch the harder the PS2 nostalgia gets, I really miss the era now.
This has always been my favorite R&C game. It would be R&C2 but... I haaaaate the ring races with a passion. It brings that whole game down for me and keeps me from wanting to replay it as much as I do Deadlocked.
I would love to have that badass helmet Ratchet has In this game.
Ooh, a Deadlocked/Gladiator video, nice! Have to watch later though
80% of the countries in the world called this game Rachet: Gladiator.
This game was the best . I can remember i had so much feels as ratchet soloing the whole dreadzone tournament as a true hell of a badass space dude . Maaaan i miss this game so much . And the musics ...
Great vid man ty , felt good to remember all about this game and why i just love it :)

The soundtrack was so goddamn SICK too btw.
"Just listen to this banger goodness!" XDDD
4:50 you're going to tell me that doesn't sound like Danny Phantoms theme to anyone else?
I like when you get your weapons upgrade in Ratchet deadlock and then you go into the arena and do some of these heavy responding enemy challenges and the game just legs out very bad from all the gunfire.
This game has stayed hidden in the recesses of my mind for a long while from playing it as a kid, I didn't remember what game it was. All I really remembered was that customization menu, but this video is bringing back memories in the gameplay footage. I'm glad I finally found it and this was entertaining to watch.
Great channel!
"Come and buy a Pixelizer!" is gonna be stuck in my head forever now. Might turn it into a meme, too.
I love Ratchet and Clank 1, and Going Commando for it's story and exploration as well as combat.
I love Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal for the combat and military-ish linearity.
I love Ratchet and Clank Deadlocked for it's Gladiator type style and the second best combat (Going Commando being my top favorite).

The first 4 games are good, they've born still in the begninning era of "complicated" games and they've done good, but a game like that, wouldn't be grate anymore in our ear of videogames.
Don't get me wrong, I like them (except for the first one that really sucks hard). I still enjoy them, especially the 2nd and 3rd, but the future saga is way above them because they bring a serious plot, the saga wasn't anymore "Play as Ratchet and kill the villain", it begun to show herself into a totally different way (and we're not talking about the improvements in mechanics and gameplay).
And the Reboot game, even if it has some bad things, it's very stupid the way that is hated only because people can't reason with their mind but have to follow a person who says on youtube that the last RC game was bad because wasn't talking about *C O N S U M E R I S M*, or because "man, do you hear this music... Man it's grate... Than listen to this one, it's bad uh?" (Than let's ignore all the other soundtracks or all the other details of the game and talk only about the things that i can make appear bad).
@@BioTheHuman STOP!!! Opinions are not right or wrong.
Ratchet Deadlocked is one of my favorite games
Quite possibly my favorite game ever, I remember having ungodly amounts of fun with this as a kid. Idk how many times I’ve replayed it but it’s fun every single time
Dude I’ve played all these growing up. When I first picked up dead lock I was so tripped out with the control system. Crazy I found your Chanel man
Ratchet and clank going commando and deadlocked had some of the best weapons in the series. The dual raptors had to be the most satisfying full auto option, the fact that you could increase the ROF and damage followed by an elemental mod of your choice (I LOVED the shock mod on the raptors with all fire rate mods lol) and the shotgun from ratchet 3 evolved into nothing short of an Atomic breath cannon, it wasn't the most powerful weapon but it sure was up there, I think it started out as the Blitz gun? Not sure but yeah, I miss those games, I would always play them in first person unless I needed to do a platforming section, but you could tell they were trying to go for something like Doom but with a "Y" axis, good stuff lol
Deadlocked has been me and my best friends favourite coop game since practically forever, once we took one of our ps2 to France on vacation and it was all the entertainment we needed at the apartment.
