  • @TheRealBlazingDiamond
    @TheRealBlazingDiamond 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think the key might be in position 3's tower. Maybe theres some iffy collision that might be used for a proxy, or maybe some invisible collision higher up that would let you big jump and glide there.
    Edit: I have an idea with the elevator! Right when you're about to get launched, just punch! Clank gets a small speed boost, although it would have to be perfectly timed, as it takes a bit of wind up, and, let's be real, it probably wouldnt send you far enough, but it would at least make that part faster and potentially safer if you get the timing down.
    I think that somebody should make a mod that highlights all pieces of collision. I dont know if this is commonly used, but modders could use that to find the spots where theres invisible or unpredictable collision, then apply that knowledge to speed running.

    PLEASE keep breaking down mysteries, new strats, and historical moments in speed running- i love the concept and i could never do it myself, but im DESPERATE to know more. Watching GDQ stuff is fun, but having the history and the how and why explained gets me so hype. You explain things and show them in ways that are so so interesting, and makes it make sense even when ive never even PLAYED the game. I love it!

    Honest shit:
    I started watching your chanel because of Jak speedruns, both that game and R&C have been the games of my childhood. I still remember just how it felt turning my ps2 on after homework to play these masterpieces, and after about 5 years of watching your videos from time to time I still love them, I still thank you for what you do and most importantly for breaking the shit of my childhood most fav games. Keep up the good work man.
    Also, has all this been tried on ps2, both pal and ntsc? Since it's already slower it might be worth a look into if not done so already.

    In the distant past of 2005, I started a new game to test something. I noticed that on Clank's quest for the Infobot, he crosses paths with the Magnet Boots. I wondered if it was possible to bypass the boots and come back for them as Ratchet. Sure enough, you can; you just skirt the edges of the area, and carry on as normal. I got the infobot, got the O2 Mask, and returned to Orxon.
    And then it happened. I softlocked the game. The path Clank originally took was closed off, and the only path forward available was the vent path...that required the Magnet Boots. I couldn't find an alternative path, and thus I was unable to stop Drek from stopping his nefarious scheme.

    I don't care if this would save time or not, but the idea that it could be done at all is interesting. I honestly think speed-running is a stupid way to play a game, "This game is so good I want to experience as little of it as possible." But discovering weird stuff like this for the sake of what you are discovering, and essentially experiencing MORE of what the game has to offer, that's cool. I wish there more more videos about discoveries like this one, even if said discovery still needs work to complete.

      If I had to guess, the game probably only checks for the helmet for the first fighter mission. The 2nd and 3rd probably don't cause it's not supposed to be possible to get there without it.
      That said, the 2nd and 3rd fighter missions are skippable anyway.

    Also there use to be a thing where you could jump/swing ratchets wrench and gain the ability to jump a second time against some walls which would allow to land on portions of areas that don't seem like you would normally be able to stand on top of. Generally this was used to get to the very top of tall objects that would sometimes allow you to walk through those objects on the other side that you climbed them as they generally were not built to be solid on some sides of the objects
