      Also regarding the preorder bonus of the bouncer and pixelizer for ratchet and clank 2016 lets just say it made alot of trophy hunters quite upset on release as you needed that preorder bonus to complete a trophy/s specifically "Full Gun Rack" and "These Go To Eleven" and without those two there was no way to get "The Hero of Heroes"

      Yeah this is how the games feel for me. I was lucky enough to somehow get my hands on the original trilogy for PS3 and coming back to them made me realise how timeless they'd made those games all the way back for the ps2. I'd be happy to get my hands on deadlocked, but that's not as easy of course. I remember renting that game over and over from the DVD store down the road when I was a kid (I'm 22 now).

      I have tinkered with emulation extensively, on a PC way more powerful and less janky than a Steam Deck. The gameplay experience at the end is never worth it. And emulating DS games on a single screen just proves to me you don’t give a fuck about actually enjoying the game; just the idea that you theoretically could. How much time do you spend playing emulators?

      They exist in:

    Personally, my favorite is Going Commando. I'm not entirely sure why, but I just love every part of it. I actually find the 2 weapon level system cooler than the 5 level system (even if the latter is overall a better idea). Even the god forsaken ship levels I have come to like. Repetitive, sure, but get a little Raritanium and you have yourself a neat diversion from the main game. And lastly, something about the feel of the levels makes me adore the game's atmosphere compared to the others. For example, you can easily tell Oozla has been abandoned for years based on the looks and vice versa for Endako. To me, too many of RaC 1's levels feel dead when they aren't supposed to and UYA levels always feel populated even when they aren't.
    Overall, there's just something I can't quite put my tongue on about GC, but I seem to have a thing for the number 2 in my life. Maybe that’s why.

    • @redtapecollection3363

      Totally agree. Going Commando is 100% got Insomniac's "Love of Labor" award as they expanded on the quality of level building and added more stuff overall compared to the first game. The third is just totally rushed and if you see other restrospectives regarding it's development cycle, no wonder it looks half-finished by the end of it.

    • @ebtflexer6535
      @ebtflexer6535 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think the second game is the most immersive with the most interesting and flushed out characters and settings in terms of each place and person feeling more or less hand crafted. I think UYA was their idea of streamlining what worked in 2 and condensing gameplay down to cut off unneeded meat and to shill in a multiplayer mode that serviced the campaign. Deadlocked has my favorite combat and gameplay system with the most ridiculous interactions between all the characters. For me i adore 2 but something about the intense seriousness of Deadlocked coupled with all the gladiators and VOX being literal caricatures and the announcers who narrate the game having some of the goofiest lines in the series makes an enjoyable dichotomy that i can even enjoy 100% it. From ace being a worse qwark to clank being dumber in this than he was in the first game i just find it so formulaically contrived it’s hilarious. But the Gameplay is S tier for sure and the land stalker is the coolest looking vehicle in the series imo.

    I am that person who loves Size Matters. It's hard to say whether due to nostalgia or not (I was like 8 or 9 when I started playing it. My parents thought my brother would like the PSP, but I turned out to be the long-term gamer). I haven't played another Ratchet and Clank until some years ago, on PS4. I always got the feeling that Size Matters had soo much character. The planets and levels were so unique with amazing concepts. And I love feeling like I am working towards something when firing newer guns. Also! Nowadays, video games are so easy man. I loved the fact that it was harder to achieve something, it really made me use different strategies to win.

    3. Crack in Time
    4. Up Your Arsenal
    5. Toss up between Commando, Deadlocked, and oddly enough, Nexus

    My favourite is without a doubt the original, I’m well aware of its early day flaws, the lack of a good strafe option, the edgy tense dialogues between the duo after Umbris (although I actually like how it develops the characters as both a pair as well as individuals) and the combat being slightly tedious at times. However it combines combat and exploration so well, both used in such good balance, the backtracking in levels like Orxon and Quartu is genius, especially Orxon. While slow, the very few clank sections are fine. And I can’t forget the soundtrack, not only are there plenty of absolute bops, but I think that every single soundtrack in the game achieves what they are supposed to, and that’s to set the tone of the level or the specific location or situation they are in, not a single song fails that goal.

    • @rhysthehendo1
      @rhysthehendo1 ปีที่แล้ว

      And one more thing, the level design, having every level (but Boss levels) have multiple paths without any real direction is amazing, rewards going out exploring, but doesn’t tell you what is necessary or optional. I love Oltanis for it’s brutal restriction of playing as solely ratchet, as you’ve been conditioned to using things like long and high jumps, as well as better movement, it’s now not even possible to jump from the landing pad to the centre of the level, and the level itself fully embraces that restriction, as well as having FOUR distinct paths! (Morph-o-ray, shop infobot, Quark PDA, and the swingshot gold bolt path)

    I think the main reason why Ratchet and Clank stood the test of time was mainly due to the franchise starting off it's series embracing the old with the new, during the transitional peroid between the early to mid 2000's. It's combination of early 2000's collectathon platformer with the mid 2000's FPS games allowed the series to stay fresh while adapting to modern trends. This in tandem with Insomniacs passion of the franchise kept it from falling into that same muck that other franchises had fell into at the time.
    I'm really happy that I grew up with these games all the same and I especially have to thank you, Remy, for reminding me of all the good memories I've had with these games.
    With that being said, I have to give special thanks to Ratchet Deadlocked for introducing me to the series.

    Dude!!!! Deadlocked is amazing!!! Me and my older cousin who passed away last year played the coop story easily 5+ times in deadlocked, truly so much replay ability and a phenomenal game!! Ratchet and clank has been my favorite game series my entire life! Rift apart was my sole reason for buying a PS5, and now I consider rift apart my favorite game of all time for how much it meant to me. Thank you for making this video! New sub here❤️

    Hey, if you're scrolling through this comment section thinking to yourself "how do I get into this series, it looks pretty cool", just play the games in order (it's up to you to skip the spin-offs + size matters). None of the games are COMPLETELY unplayable (besides maybe size matters), pretty much ALL the games have something that hasn't aged perfectly, which I mean, you should come to expect from literally any video game ever made lmao.
    I grew up playing Up Your Arsenal on my dad's PS2, so I miiiiight be a BIT biased, but who isn't, amirite!? Anyway, this series is near and dear to my heart and I'm so glad it didn't meet the same fate that Jak and Sly did. R&C is one of the most consistent "good at worst, excellent at best" series out there, hell, even to a point to where I can ACTUALLY recommend both Going Mobile AND Before the Nexus.

After finally begging my mom to buy it for me, i popped it in my ps2 and had some of the most fun times. Don’t even get me started on the multiplayer mode with my friends that would come over. We had a blast on that game. Definitely one of the best ones.

    I remember getting stuck on the first level of deadlocked as a kid, not because I was bad (I was) but because the disc was so scratched that I literally couldn't proceed. Didn't stop me from trying.
    Such nostalgic game for me.

  • @sonicdesignz9362
    @sonicdesignz9362 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My top favorite is personally Tools of Destruction. I feel like it's slept on from a gameplay sense.
    I like the weapon selection and it stand as one of the longest Ratchet and Clank games in terms of story length and content being 36 hours for completionist.
    Plus it is a fun as hell game to speedrun since the Razor Claws has a glitch where you can climb walls and glide in the air with them which creates some pretty sick movement strats.
    But to put it short, Tools of Destruction feels like a bigger Going Commando in terms of weapon variety, planets and length.
    I love Crack in Time but I was dissapointed on how half of the weapons that I liked in Tools of Destruction were gone. It definitely felt like it could've used a bit more weapon selection and the story/exploration felt more linear in comparison to Tools of Destruction and a bit shorter of a game. Not to say that Crack in Time wasn't bad, but idk, Tools of Destruction is the one I find myself playing and going back to more. It has the gameplay, weapons, exploration and detail down enough for me and I find the tougher enemies to offer more of a challenging experience. Especially with it being the first one to introduce 10 weapon levels, I definitely have a lot of fun grinding on this one compared to most of the other Ratchet games, but that's my two cents, since I hardly see anyone give Tools of Destruction enough praise. Defintielly an underrated title.
    Also should add on that Deadlocked was my least favorite, but I have bias with the exploration and overall joy of traveling to different planets since I started out with Ratchet and Clank 1.
    I played every ratchet game in order and the amount of the stuff that I loved in the Trilogy with going to different planets and such, was cut from Deadlocked and was set in a more derpessing/dark atmosphere (Also no Clank either, so no jet or heli pack for the movement I loved in the Trilogy). It was like the game was trying to be like Halo back when that game was really popular during that time period, so the dark gladiator theme, didn't really appeal to me, but I can understand why many would rate it so high on the list. I did enjoy my first playthrough of it, but it was the first ratchet game that I didn't bother to replay for challenge mode.

    In Size Matters, for some reason the developers starts you off with 5 nanotech instead of 10 like UYA and Deadlocked. I hate calling others out but Xem (Speed runner) said that N60 storm is the worst blaster in the entire franchise. Imo, I say the Lacerator is worse. It shoots slow and doesn’t have cool firing sound unlike the N60 Storm and other blasters.

Also, I'm pretty certain you're 99% of the reason I tried the original Ratchet and Clank games. Currently I've only beaten 1 and 2, still need to get round to 3. Would personally rank 2 higher myself, but I enjoyed both a lot. And I really should pick up Deadiator/Gladlocked too.

    29:02 Well, 720p has always been a bit of a wonky resolution. Primarily because no one ever made 720p TVs. Those old "HD Ready" models were actually 1366x768. This mismatch meant no one was getting the full picture clarity out of PS3/X360/WiiU.
    To get native 720p, you would need a VGA CRT monitor with appropriate converters or a 720p projector with DVI-to-HDMI cables.
    Or, perhaps, a 1440p monitor with the RetroTink 5x running in the experimental 1440p mode (2x integer scale of 720p).
    Basically, it's a pain.

    In defense of Size Matters:
    Story isn't THAT bad, just mid AF, worst part about it is Ratchet tbh, he brings the entire thing down. Gameplay is a very faithful portable adaptation of the main formula which is fun AF. Game is short so it doesn't outstay its welcome. Have only played it once on my PS Vita and I had ZERO issues with the difficulty, as a matter of fact I don't recall dying to combat once aside the insanely difficult final boss fight.
    No, I don't love Size Matter at all, it lands second to last on my favorite R&C games as well (above Secret Agent Clank), but I don't get the hate for it in the grand scheme of things. No, it's not THAT bad, just a mid spin-off.
