Deserves 11/10. Greatest game series ever.
nice one xD
Agreed
I like the music
Yessss
Facts, Ratchet & Clank was my childhood. So many amazing memories
What about the music?!?? The music was one of the best paaaarts
Must...Collect...Every...Bolt...
Nothing negative at all
Gives it an 8.5
Ikr. He could've at least given it a 9
#ReviewerLogic lol
+James Dryden i''d give it 10
***** it's IGN. They know it's not COD or GTA
+crashpal Same. The best game I've ever played. I just got the new one (it just released here in Australia) and it is very nostalgic. I love it.
The PS4 reboot made me want to back and play the entire series again!
+Jonathan Gouveia dos Santos Literally going to get a PS3 today to replay all the RnC games again.
The PS4 reboot made me want to kill myself because of how terrible it was compared to the originals/Future trilogy
Such an amazing reboot. Was truly beautiful
[Frostz I loved the PS4 reboot
Same here
I've been an xbox player for the last 7-8 years, but recently I saw a PS2 in my local CEX, I decided to get it to play this series again, as it was a fond childhood memory. However I was scared that the game may seem dated.
So far I've only actually starting playing number 1 (I did only get them yesterday!) but it has been an absolute blast. My fears about the game being out of date were unfounded, the graphics were surprisingly good for a game this old and the gameplay is still very entertaining.
first game was great, so was the second but the third game is one of the best games of all time
The Third one was the best game ever
No way. Second game is T H E best Ratchet & Clank game there is.
3rd game was a bit too linear
Third is the most boring lmao
the second game is the best, the third one feels very rushed
3 amazing games that are at least a 9/10 each.... put them all together, what do you get? 8.5... no logic behind this
The thing that got me about this collection was the amount of glitches. Audio glitches, cutscenes ending and only loading a black screen where you can still move around but you can't see what's happening, and the quick select wheel getting stuck and not closing despite gameplay continuing were frequent enough to annoy me. The original games are great, but this port and HD re-release was poorly handled (in my experience anyway). But I agree, an 8.5 with no complaints is ridiculous.
fran jaff were you playing on Ps Vita? I've heard the Vita ports aren't the best but I have yet to try them. On PS3 I've spent a lot of time with all 3 games and have all the platinum trophies to show for it. I don't recall encountering any glitches/bugs on PS3.
Justin Hochman PS3 version. It was the digital version, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
fran jaff Might have. I had the physical copy.
I think they just have random number generators at ign
Seriously? 8.5? More like 9.9.
ohohoh hell no more like 10.0
GrayGecko22 No game is perfect.
or is it bum bum buuuuuuummm
GrayGecko22
XD
I disagree! It should be DUN! DUN! DUUUUUUUNNN!!!!
With a D. XD Time to nag about irrelevant stuff. YAY!!!
Those are three of the best games of all time.
The Ratchet & Clank series is very underrated in general.
He never mentioned anything bad so why did he give 8.5?
Exactly what I was thinking
Mitch9894 he didnt directly say anything negative about the games, but he did say that "the jump between 1 and 2" were bigger because the controls have been more polished. Which means he thinks the first game didnt control all that well, which is true as it doesnt have a locked strafe like the rest of the ratchet and clank games have
Guys, IGN has absolutely NO IDEA on how to rate games. You could find a crappier series on the Xbox that will have a better rating because all IGN cars about is that pile of trash.
This aged well
the ps2 version you showed was obviously a broken copy. It runs just as well as the hd collection on ps3.
lol IKR. Watching the animations jitter like that made me think of NES games. It runs just fine, just blurrier that's all.
@@MrNiceguy3210 Blurrier because ps2 uses interlaced resolutions.
when my parents first bought me a slim model when they came out, the games they would come with was R&C3 and Grand turismo, I had never bought a ratchet and clank game in my life, and up your arsenal was my first ever played on Play station. I Fell in love with it, and after realising and being like "Wow, if this is so good I can't wait to play going commando and the first one" Played the others and didn't get the same effect with "Up your arsenal" But holy crap it was the best. Usually when people make a game series, it starts off good and slowly degrades, although with Ratchet and Clank I just found that the viewings and scores inclined rather than decline and it just kept getting better! I will always remember this is my favourite child hood game.
Same with me.
pur3gre3k254 I began with going commando and I still like that one the most, I think because it was just the first that sucked me in
+pur3gre3k254 me too
Same, my parents bought me the ps2 slim model when it first came out and it came with 3 games: Ratchet & Clank 3, Gran Turismo and Lego Starwars. I loved R&C 3 so I bought R&C 2 and the original one later on
Low difficulty of the original? That game was super hard.
not if your good at it
It was harder than 2 for sure
No the second was really hard, the first was easy.
love ratchet but this is THE WORST PORT I HAVE EVER SEEN seriously idol minds did terrible, should have gave the job to sanzaru games.
The third game was probably my favorite, followed by Crack of Time. Up Your Arsenal was just such an incredible game with one of the better villains, before Dr. Nefarious became an overused character (the fact he appeared far and few between and was not present since the third game justified it), and was even better than some of the Future games like Tools of Destruction.
The nostalgia man
IT'S TO MUCH!!!
My childhood of gaming! THE INSTANT CLASSICS! 😃 ✨
i love r&c in general. in literally all of the games and especially in terms of weaponry. 3 just nails it perfectly. visually, in terms of sound and gameplay. just practically perfect.
This port was actually pretty shitty. Graphical glitches that got worse with each game. Going Commando skipped cutscenes, Up Your Arsenal had the sound FX of the ship all mixed up during the planet travel. Ratchet's helmet doesn't fit properly, and his eyeballs go inside his head and in some cutscenes you can see characters just awkwardly standing at the side (which is pretty funny tbh). And then don't even get me started on Deadlocked/Gladiator... So broke! I love this series but looking at the Jak and Sly collection, it pisses me off that they couldn't do a nice and smooth conversion for Ratchet and Clank. Screw you Idolminds.
ShouldBeFineVideos did you have the digital version because I never really had a problem with mine
@@alvexas5510 I have the digital copies of all 4 of them and had the same issues. It's the same game regardless of the distribution. Gladiator/Deadlocked is the worst offender though. All the cutscenes are straight up broken.
I want an Xbox one but if this ratchet and clank collection was coming out on PS4 I would get a PS4. I miss ratchet and clank So much.
So everyone is gonna sit here and ignore the fact that they messed up on his helmet in Going Commando
R&C1: 7
R&C2: 10
R&C3: 9
R&C Remastered: 5.5
#SaveTheHelmet
SuperMinerMage agreed about going commando being the best of them but I also really liked the first game. it was a classic in it's own right but the weapons in going commando were just much better.
SuperMinerMage Ratchet and Clank 3 was miles better than Going Commando in my opinon
i feel like it didnt blend platforming, exploration and gunplay well. I respect your opinion, and the Ratchet and Clank fanbase is mostly tied between GC, UYA, and CIT, but i found GC to just be the more enjoyable game.
SuperMinerMage OK then. I just found GC underwhelming.
Whoa whoa whoa, only an 8.5!!!??? This thing deserves a 10 for taking my childhood and not to mention some of the greatest games give them a beautiful makeover and putting it on one disk for my favorite game system.
Oh yeah, let's nooot forget about dem graphical glitches in the HD collection u goiz.
Mr. Blocky but doesn’t make it a bad game
Who’s here in 2021
Me. I’m trying to buy a ps3 and get this game. You ?
@@thecommentsofyoutube7265 already have it lol
Oh the memories...
I don't understand IGN's scoring system.
+Draycko why? its opinion based
+KavatarGaming In this video nothing bad was said about the game (Games?), so that 8.5 rating doesn't really make sense to me.
+KavatarGaming
Also, considering IGN gave the original R&C a score of 9.2, this 8.5 rating for three (Not just one.) _updated_ R&C games makes even less sense.
***** True fair enough I think if they give a game an 8.5 something should be under cons
+KavatarGaming mhmm
They really made the ps2 version look like garbage so they could sell the buggy collection. Greed
Personally, the three Ratchet & Clank games are 10/10 material. The HD collection however? 7.5/10. The porting job could've been a lot better. No sound in local multiplayer? Real nice, it's almost as if they never tested the thing before releasing it.
IcedEarth1231 I know this comment is 2 years old but... no sound on local multiplayer? What? I've never had that issue.
Wolfie McFox Perhaps it was an early problem that got patched out?
I just bought this and I am a little bugged by how some little details are messed up. Some textures are actually gone, and ratchet's helmet is too big for his head now. Its weird. I think the port isnt perfect perfect, but still a great thing to have on ps3
They have to put this on the ps5
just got into ratchet and clank in 2024 and its great 😭
This trilogy was not the best remaster, the game themselves are incredible, but there are so many technical issues with this collection.
The PlayStation 2 was a phenomenal console, and it's easy to see why it's still the best selling. But the PS3 was technically superior, and seeing one of my favourite PS2 games remastered in HD is such a delight. Crisp, clean graphics, a higher frame rate, increased resolution, but still retains the nostalgic charm. This was a must own for every PS3 owner
You know that the PS3 Version is full of Bugs right?
You talk about the same thing like 2-3 times throughout the review, wtf IGN?
Best childhood game nonetheless.
Why's he talking down about the original? It's better than 2 and 3
Bcs ign lmao xd
These games were the core of my childhood. I have endless fond memories off them and this is certainly something I will be buying, great review IGN!
the trilogy should have got at least 9.5 it was jyst the most amazing games ever made for playstation,i prefer playing,ratchet and clank up your arsenal than gta v
Sly and jak are better imo. But these games are really good as well.
DJ Boomstick Just said this in another thread R&C got better as they went along, while with sly and jak, the first games were the best and went downhill from there, thats what makes R&C better
FancyKilerWales I personally thought Sly was also a series that got better as it went along. Can't say anything about the 4th game as I haven't played it but I loved how that series progressed.
I Still prefer Ratchet thank Jak
And Jak than Sly
But Sly is really good
Can we have this on ps4 😭
This isn’t on PS4?? I was just about to look that up and sly cooper
@@JoninDropout there's just one R&C on PS4 no Sly game in the store. It's sad
Low difficulty of the first one? Lol okay then.
I heard the first one was pretty hard! Lol
+Alex Townley first one is by far the hardest of the lot because there is no checkpoints and auto aim is awful!
***** For real!! -_-
Not to mention that you can't upgrade weapons or health to great amounts like in the sequels.
Also the third game does not look the best lmao; the first one steals the show in atmosphere.
This collection deserves a 9/10. Three fantastic games from the PS2 era that was one of the unofficial mascots of the ps2 console now remaster to glorious 1080p, 60fps on PS3. Despite graphical bugs, this remaster is still worth your money.
lololol Jak and daxter got 9.0
How come whenever I see gameplay of Ratchet 2 and 3 his helmet is like floating on his head with his leather cap from Ratchet 1 underneath? In the version I had, his helmet was actually down on his head and it looked better.
You didn't mention about the online mode.
Best series ever! At least a 10/10 haha this was my entire childhood
mardukalpha you really should give the trilogy a try.
a crack in time was epic, i just finished playing through it for the 4 time, i only need to kill lord vorselon once i collect all the zoni
I'm getting my own ps3
+Josh Haskett Your are ten years late
+Josh Haskett if you have any ps2 games i recommended a 80gb with 4 usb they can play ps2 games
PS2 games look bad on HDTVs, what a bad advice.
@@ArabianFreedom No they don't.
Got this for 19 bucks at a local game shop. Brings back so many memories of all three games. Up Your Arsenal is hands down one of my favorite games of all time. Even if there was a few bugs and glitches in the HD collection, I don't think hardcore fans like me will notice at all.
No thats not how it works. PS2 games and PS3 games cannot be compared at all because its obvious the PS3 one would win. Now if your comparing sequels and prequels then thats different
This better come to ps5 next year, or even PC. and fixed graphical issues
keep dreaming
WTF is Locked & Loaded?
Very nice review! These games are my childhood and I really want to buy the trilogy!! =D
Cant simply express the love i had for this game, looks like its going to start again :)
Why the hell is this not on ps plus premium
Well its going to be in 2 weeks
Do you have any proof that Activision pay IGN? No? Didn't think so.
I don't particularly like CoD, but they aren't bad games. The only problem is that they are incredibly repetative.
These games were and still are amazing I was so pissed when the gameplay of the 2nd and 3rd games were extremely laggy and unplayable just ordered the trilogy online yesterday and I can't wait until it arrives in the mail!!!!!
These 3 games are big part of my childhood. I played them so much when i was a kid... :)
I so have to get this... I loved Going Commando!
Why did he give it an 8.5 if he gave it no negative points? Seems odd to me.
I am thinking of getting it for my vita
Thanks man ... you know when it comes out? Or is it out already
First Sly Cooper, then Jak & daxter and now THIS!!
Man, it's my childhood all over again :')
The sheer naffness of the ""next gen"" is a great excuse to give it the finger and go back to classics I never got to play
Beyond Good and Evil
Psychonauts
God of War
Jak & Daxter trilogy
and this has definitely made this list.
Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper and Kingdom Hearts...
Basically all my favorite PS2 games are back on PS3 now :)
Just waiting on Kingdom Hearts 2.5 now haha.
Lmfaoo wtf... Those are mine too that's so weird.. I have kh 1.5, jak collection. And bought ratchet and clank collection a few hours ago lol
I have all even Prince of Persia
I remember "Emperor Tachyon is an equal opportunity oppressor." One of my favorite lines in the series.
I just bought this game as a gift for a kid but somebody just stole it :(( Hard to find a copy of the trilogy too :((
Thanks. Any reason why they had to change the subtitle?
Yeah right. You keep making all these claims without backing them up. Just admit you have no argument.
Either that or prove it. Go Pheonix Wright on me and point out my contradictions. Present evidence that proves you're right. It'll be the first time yet.
What is so invlaid about what I said? Prove it.
Why did fans assume ND would make a Jak game after U3? Prove it.
When did I contradict myself? Prove it.
Don't get so self-righteous when you can't support yourself.
you've abviously just been gaming this generation and are only a teenager if you think these games are chidlis, you obviously cannot apreciate good games and instead play absaloute crap that is the same game in every installment, go play jak and daxter and ratchet and clank and you'll see how much effort insomniac and naughtydog put into their games which is what makes them the greatest developers of all time, then play cod, see the difference between a shitty game and a classic game?
Yeah online multiplayer for R&C3! I am yoshikilla12
To be fair though, it was all assumption. ND never announced plans to return to J&D after Uncharted and as you are often keen to point out they had said they were a one francise-per-console company.
Personally, I thought we'd see an Uncharted racing game. What with ND's track record. But I guess TLOU is the alternative since an Uncharted racing game would be pretty silly.
My childhood right there. My favorite games were two and three. Challenge mode completed more than 20 times. Never had that kind of feeling with any other game
You were never specific, and I was originally referring to the series, not the reboot. You're the one who got it wrong.
I already know all the stuff you just said but none of that counters my last comment so I'm afraid you are the one who fails.
And it's *you're* by the way.
Insomniac's best, especially with up your arsenal. Such a polished game.
Yeah, but the *series* was not cancelled.
And while a Jak game was in the works, we never found out about it until after the announcement of TLOU. So there was no reason to think ND were about to make a new Jak game until we were told about this.
Fail.
It kind of does matter, because the very evidence you state points towards ND making a Jak game after U3 is invalid as said time was never specified.
My point is the series was shelved not cancelled. I don't really care what happens to that game.
No, you did not give reason as to why fans expected a new Jak game after the Uncharted series. I proved your evidence is false so you focused on the less important subject that started with your own incompetance.
Never specified when though. Either way, there wasnt any evidence pointing to a Jak and Dax return until after both TLOU's announcement and the news ofthe attempted reboot.
And J&D have been shelved, not cancelled.
no you're not, it annoys the crap out of me too! i dont know what the hell thats about, but it's only in the cutscenes, mabey it just got confused in the transition to hd
Technically they were going to make a Jak reboot, rather than Jak 4 but yeah, I heard about the two teams. It'll be good to see what they get up to next.
YES thats a great Score for Ratchet and Clank 8.5/10! YEP i got it and it brings back sooooo much MEMORIES! As an Aussie gamer I luv the series!
i got it for 12.50$ and crack in time for 7.50$ 20$ what a great deal
What do you mean by dynamics? Anyways I like everything about the games:Story, plot, characters, dialogue, graphics, gameplay etc.
Just remaster these with gladiator
Great score for IGN 8.5/10! on this game Ratchet and Clank TRILOGY worth buying especially it brings back so much memories :)
Why does the reviewer say this collection runs at native 1080p? I have all resolution boxes checked in my display settings (720p,1080i and 1080p are checked) i have a native 1080p tv and the XMB dashboard on my PS3 says 1080p and i go to the collection and it displays at 720p, why? Is the game 720p native? Or is it actually 1080p native?
Honestly this HD remaster only deserves 8.5 but the games deserve 10/10. The remaster is full of visual bugs and slow downs, it isnt a perfect port at all, but its playable and still brings out the fun of the original trilogy.
This Collection deserves 10/10,why giving 8.5!? All IGN reviewer s$&@#! R&C 1 Is the Best,R&C 3 also The Best,R&C 2 Uhmmmmm..... No comment. still my childhood games :'-)
I don't care about the graphics or the glitches...all I always wanted is to play my childhood games...I've always love the games when I was little and you came with 8.5?...I gave the game a higher score out of a FUCKING 10
This was literally the same review as the Jak & Daxter collection: Fanboy talks about beloved series getting an HD upgrade, gives almost entirely praises, only to give it a 9, or in R & C's case, an 8.5
Lame.
I have fond memories of Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, and I've been wanting to revisit those Ratchet and Clank memories ever since my PS2 broke, so I've gotta get this collection.
The way they showed how R&C3 ran on PS2, it never had stutters when I played this back in the day. It runs pretty smooth. But the PS3 is a great improvement over all. I own both versions on Vita and PS3 and I got all platinum trophies for both versions ✊
I just borrowed my Friends PS3 and anothers R&C Trilogy and have been having a blast. Plus I learned Deadlocked (Gladiator) is only ten bucks so I bought that too
@Ratchet3Mark lol I just came to this to see it compared to the Wind Waker HD.. They just like Nintendo better, and nothing BUT Nintendo.
I'm an 81 year old Grandfather who plays Ratchet and Clank
Are you still around?
I remember buying ratchet and clank size matters on the PSP, man I loved this game. It's sad I didn't play any other ratchet games except for secret agent clank
I think that they refrain from the glitches in the trilogy that bring it down. I would rather buy the PS2 originals (which I did except for the first one), than get the ps3 versions? They've got a lot of fixing to do and I hope that if there's ever a Ps4 re-release, they better have the glitches fixed.
I bought this when it first came out. I returned it, I'm a huge fan, but this ps3 port played horrid and had massive glitches and problems. Did they ever patch them out?
i don't know if it's just me, but with my copy, the game stutters with Up Your Arsenal. at the end of every cutscene, there's a stutter, the scene stops for a second. i never figured out why. anyone else had this problem?
