The 2016 game is just the events of ghe first game told from Qwarks perspective. Loosely canon and Its actually genius if you think about it, a lot of it is BS 😂
a bit confused since Rift apart takes place following the events of both 2013's Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, the last game in the Future Saga, and 2016's Ratchet & Clank, which serves as a re-imagining of the first game in the series
My favorite one too. Spoilers Azimuth was a remarkably tragic relatable anti hero. It was like a dark possibility of what Rachet could become if he was consumed by trying to bring his family back
Really wish Insomniac would allow us to experience the entire story by rereleasing the entire series on one big disc collection with at least an HD paint job to it.
It would take an astronomical amount of money and man-hours, considering there was already a remastered collection of the PS2 games released on the PS3 and the rest of the games were PS3/handheld titles. And since even porting PS3 games is such a costly/difficult task I doubt neither Insomniac or Sony would ever even humor the idea.
Well actually to celebrate the 10th anniversary of ratchet and clank they released the first 3 games together remastered in HD for the PS3 Thats how I play them cause I dont have a PS2 anymore
Qwark actor Jim Ward was unable to reprise his role… due to life threatening sickness (Alzheimer’s combined with Covid) which is a shame, hence Qwark only cameos in the new game Rift Apart albeit with a different voice actor.
Now here an idea so hear me out: what if Insomniac released a sort of "story so far" type deal like what Kingdom hearts did. All eight on the main story games altogether on one disc for everyone to either catch up on the story or to experience the earlier legacy games from the ps2. I believe it would be a massive seller since the Ratchet and Clank games have been around for about 2 decades now and the older games don't really get the same attention as the newer games have now. Maybe update the graphics and sound controls but still keeping in tune with the aesthetic of the originals
U have no idea how important this was for me. It is going to be my first time playing ratchet and clank, really needed this backstory put together in a short video.
Crack in Time is the best one in the franchise, with that said, when will we be able to fly out ships to the planets we want again, that was one of my favorite things in the game
They should've kept the bit of grittiness the og trilogy and A Crack In Time had. Ratchet felt more like a brute force, rather than an Adventurer trying to stop the same Villain again.
R&C: Tools of Destruction and Quest For Booty are sooooo underrated! They came out early in the PS3’s lifecycle (never got retroactive trophy support either since they came out before trophies were a thing), and a lot of people’s first PS3 R&C was A Crack In Time. Both ACiT and ITN were great games, but the humor, storyline, levels, and gadgets in ToD were much better IMO. I actually liked the sixaxis gadget gimmicks. I played a good chunk of it again late last year and it still holds up in places!
@@ryanjohndavies4092 yep it got overlooked bc I’m pretty sure it came out the same month for PS3 as the PS4 launch. I picked it up, and while it is fun, and explores the rift stuff this new game is touching on, it wasn’t as engaging as the other R&C Future titles. Once I platted, I never returned to ITN.
Its the only one I've beaten. I have Crack in Time in the shrink wrap still (bad backlog bad!). At least I have a vague clue whats going on if I dive into R&C again as a series.
I played tools of destruction about a year ago couldn't get into a quest for booty because i was playing it on ps now with severe input lag. So just looked up the story on UA-cam then i planned to play a crack in time well a year later here i am 9laying it and while it is fun and the story is good so far my conclusion is these games can never top the original 3 and deadlocked. I think rift apart though looks awesome.
We're older now, veterens of the series, trying to introduce it to some friends of mine and just telling them about the silly weapons puts them off and I'm just like "your loss" I'll just be over here with my Groovitron and RYNO
One thing I really respect about Ratchet and Clank is how they've been telling a broadly continuous story since 2007's Tools of Destruction. Like no other video game franchise does this because it's really hard to have a continuous story in gaming over an extended period of time. But R&C figured out how to tell the story in isolated segments that can be separated into different games while still having the continuous narrative thread of the Dimensionator and Lombaxes linking it all together It's a simple enough story and structure that new players can jump and figure out what's happening while expanding the story for returning players, it's the perfect multi-chapter video game story! It's fantastic and avoids the pitfalls of franchise like Kingdom Hearts that are so absurdly complicated after all these years that you need to read loads of extra material just to understand what's going on!
it truly is, however these stories are not perfect. There are some mind tearing retcons, like saying how Ratchet is the last Lombax, yet Angela was hardly acknowledged. And the stories of the games got very weak with Full Frontal Assault/Q Force and Nexus. But overall, yeah the overarching plot rocks, and I am so happy I grew up with this franchise
@@somecommenter4256 Yea, Quest for Booty, FFA, All 4 One, and Into the Nexus had trash stories ngl. FFA and A4O were spinoff so I'll let them slide and QFB and Nexus were just rushed so they had to whip something up real quick and they messed up.
@@sheriffaboubakar9720 I think the story of QFB was good for what it was. A simple standalone dlc. Nexus's story was good but didn't add too much for an already complete plot for the series
I’ve played all of the games in this video except for Nexus and I have to say when A Crack in Time came up I had the most nostalgia by far. The story really makes it the most memorable one. Therefore, I really hope Rift Apart has an ambitious story so it can set itself apart from the rest of the crowd.
Honestly I just wished they stayed true to the dark tone of the game. I feel that’s when R&C was at its best! The original 4 is the best R&C’s ever made (in my opinion personally) but I just love the dedication and originality of the old school games. I skipped a lot of them after Deadlocked, but now playing Rift Apart, so hopefully it does justice for the series. But definitely the old tone and style of the original R&C games were the best and still will remain victorious in my opinion. But hey you can’t stay with the old style for too long, eventually you have to grow and do something different unfortunately.
05:30 Uhm... At that point of the game its allready been revealed that Qwark is still alive. In fact you have a mission prior to the final mission where Ratchet confronts Qwark in his own hideout where he's shown Qwarks cowardice towards Nefarious.. Ratchet finds out about the location of this hideout after he got the fifth and final vid comic from Slim Cognito (the one Qwark thought he destroyed all copies from, because they reveal the truth about what really happened) Qwark turns Ratchets offer to become a hero once again down because he's too afraid.. Later at the end of the final battle he redeems himself by showing up and saving Ratchet. So.. That goes a bit different than said here.
I think they skipped a major character development arc with Quark in Up Your Arsenal. It basically changed how Quark acts throughout the series afterwards
-"The cathedral is dark, cold and dank...just like my ex-wife" -Dallas -"Do you already have Thyrranoid bitches 3 completely downnoodled??" -Gleeman vox in the german version lmao Man Deadlocked had an amazing humor and it was so dark. The soundtrack is also sick. I love all the R&C games but deadlocked is one of the most underrated imo
Honestly, it feels like it kind of should have been rebooted continuity wise after Deadlocked because the tone is different and the new lore sorta starts contradicting the older games
@@noammo7455 I'm basically saying that after Deadlocked, there was not only a change to the tone of the games, but they also started introducing new lore and fantasy elements like suddenly Ratchet is the last of his kind (even though that clearly wasn't the case in the second game) and Clank has some new origin about being some cosmically destined being. It got just different enough that they could have just considered the Future games a reboot, like how there are three different Tomb Raider timelines
I’d prefer that over anything else from Naughty Dog right now. Would love to see a PSV remaster or even remake because I think it would be nice to play the old games again on stronger hardware.
Same I'm playing and enjoying the new ratchet. But can't help think these games don't have anything on jak 2 and 3. Imagine jak2 haven City on ps5 with ray tracing
@@Luca_Talis Simply amazing! It feels like a R&C game but with a new touch when it comes to cinematics, gameplay and traversal. I had no idea the game would be this unique. They really kept a lot of stuff out on the demos they showed us. The game is more then what they showed us. It's hard to put the controller down.
I should mention that you forgot to talk about some Ratchet and Clank games. I know that they are not the most important games of the franchise but there is a chance that they are canon. We cant forget that in "All 4 One" Nefarious presence is there and that this may affect his presence in "Rift Apart" because by the end of that game he seems sad because he choose to leave the group to continue to be a villian.
I had the 2016 movie as an introduction to this franchise but had the feeling that I thought this was a video game at some point. I did research years later after being dissapointed in the movie and wanted to see the game's original story. IT'S SO MUCH BETTER AND I'M NOW A HUGE FAN OF IT
Not even an honourable mention of secret agent clank, size matters all 4 one or uh the sequel of all 1 I mean I don't think they matter too much for the story but they did exist
I'm as long time fan and I'm noticing several inconsistencies in this and many skipped details. It wasn't the 'Bio Liberator' It was the Bio-bliterator' as in a play on the word 'obliterator'. And after quark faked his death on the exploding ship he was too cowardly to come back forcing Ratchet and Clank to seek him out and pep-talk him into returning. As for The Great Clock, the whole conflict about it is everyone who knows about it wants to use it to alter history, but as explained the clock is merely meant to keep time stable across the universe. Attempting to use it to greatly alter the past would risk the universe being destroyed. And it was nearly the case, the ripple effect of that providing the cause for dimensions weakening in following game.
I went back and platinumed every R&C possible recently to get ready for the new one. Full Frontal Assault was painful and the Ninja Massacre Skill Point from Going Commando was annoying if you are in challenge mode but I got it eventually after researching how they counted "Kill only with wrench."
This series was quite literally a huge part of my childhood, I loved them more than anything else I owned! I was so happy when I heard about the newest game!
@@Kubush1 hahaha Sony doesn’t have the money to pay off any reviewers nor would they do so. You know how stingy Sony is with spending money. They just make good games and have good partnerships and it shows. Since mid 2020 they have last of us 2, ghost of Tshushima, final fantasy 7 remake and intergrade now, demon’s souls, sackboy, miles morales, returnal, and now Rachet and clank. Pretty stellar line up to play already on ps5 with better visuals and performance on all the games listed. The timed exclusives Xbox paid for: call to sea and falconeer, are now on PlayStation. And medium is coming soon. Xbox will have good games with the studios they have, but as of now, there is a big discrepancy in quality titles on both platforms.
@@Kubush1 I can tell you are not a creator, but thanks for clearing that up. I can also tell you know 0 “Game Media” insiders but thanks for your inside knowledge on non-facts.
@@Kubush1 Saying you have "friends in the industry" has the same amount of credibility as saying "I saw a flying cow" You do not have friends in the industry and you just say you're a PC player to cover up your 2nd hand embarrassment of being an Xbox player. A real PC player wouldn't care about anything console related, not to the extent as to blatantly come and spread lies on a social media platform. Please go back to your imaginary friends and pray you get some good games
man its so good to get a clarification on the games storyline/timeline. I recently have gotten into the Ratchet & Clank and been having fun playing the games, I do hope they make more. and maybe another movie perhaps?
meh, Quark is a trickster character: sometimes he's good, sometimes he's bad. but he only ever looks out for himself so he can never truly be redeemed.
i really wish insomniac would release a game where ratchet finds the lombax's and has to save them or release a mini movie or something where he meets the lombax's
After finishing Rift Apart 100% on new game+ I really hope we get 20th anniversary remaster of all these games. I had only ever played the first 3 of the series and can't believe I didn't even know the 2 most recent games existed! Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper are my favorite games from my childhood and they both deserve a good remaster
20 years, 3 other lombaxes, a functioning dimensionator, possible teasers for more lombaxes that are out there, and they still haven't found the lombax dimension 😭
And a proper one, like seriously keep the style, the dialogue, the soundtrack and everything and just throw modern graphics with 4k and that's it. Going Comando is such a piece of work, I'd even like to replay it as it on my PS5 in 4k.
Ahh, Ratchet and Clank. So many fond memories. Playing the second game for 40 hours to upgrade all the weapons. Having my first seizure for playing a game for 40 hours to upgrade all the weapons. Fun times.
you love Rachet & Clank and you're a returning player. I suggest you start playing at the most difficulty level, otherwise it will seem to easy and boring. I had a great time and enjoyed the game more playing it on Renegade Legend. Super fun!!!
I see what you did there :) (and agreed. I just got a Series X because Microsoft was literally on Facebook "Hey we have some in the store if you want some. Ordered Friday, arrived yesterday) - If only I could find a PS5 the same way!
So nostalgic . The very 1st moment i get my hands on ps2 and this game was a gift from my brother way back 2003. This game is sooo good & diffuclt coz its fuccing JP ver. i was mesmerize the world of R&C specialy collecting gold bolts and armaments in the game. Insomniac done very well on this
Ratchet and clank up your arsenal is by far the greatest game of theirs. It was leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessors, with going commando coming in an easy second place. At least in my opinion lol.
Ahhhhhh....... I'm getting goosebumps. Favourite games from Ratchet and Clank....in any order Ratchet and Clank 1 Ratchet and Clank Going Commando Ratchet and Clank Up Yout Arsensal Ratchet Gladiator Tools of Destruction And yes even Quest for Booty And my favourite of all... A Crack in Time
I agree so much. I LOVE Crack in Time. It’s just a huge shame that I no longer have a PS3… and I can’t use PS Now because it doesn’t exist in my country lmao
Really wished you mentioned Merc and Green when you got to Deadlocked. They were extremely essential to the game and dont get enough credit in the series lore. Also Size Matters was pretty important to the series lore as well. It introduced the idea that Ratchet and his race were special and rare. This is later brought up in Crack in time which gave Ratchet's past more backstory. I know you guys were just trying to condense the main idea of the "story" but youre seriously doing a genuine disservice to the long time devoted fans thats been with this series since the ps2 days and general newcomers that watch this video hoping to get the entire story in one sitting.
My memory is so strange, I thought the old games I played look at lot better but they definitely didn't age well. First time seeing the games since I played them as a kid.
I've recognized a bit of the PS2 ones i kinda grew up with it (born 2001 for context) so it was nice seeing this as a recap, for some reason i still think of those weird little aliens that clank was with as super 'new'

I mean I don't think they matter too much for the story but they did exist
I'm as long time fan and I'm noticing several inconsistencies in this and many skipped details. It wasn't the 'Bio Liberator' It was the Bio-bliterator' as in a play on the word 'obliterator'. And after quark faked his death on the exploding ship he was too cowardly to come back forcing Ratchet and Clank to seek him out and pep-talk him into returning.
As for The Great Clock, the whole conflict about it is everyone who knows about it wants to use it to alter history, but as explained the clock is merely meant to keep time stable across the universe. Attempting to use it to greatly alter the past would risk the universe being destroyed. And it was nearly the case, the ripple effect of that providing the cause for dimensions weakening in following game.
I went back and platinumed every R&C possible recently to get ready for the new one. Full Frontal Assault was painful and the Ninja Massacre Skill Point from Going Commando was annoying if you are in challenge mode but I got it eventually after researching how they counted "Kill only with wrench."
Grats Dude!
4 days more Rift Apart! Let's go

This series was quite literally a huge part of my childhood, I loved them more than anything else I owned!
I was so happy when I heard about the newest game!
Crack in Time was amazing! Quest for Booty had a brilliant atmosphere
I remember the absolute INSANE glitches the PS2 games had. I would spend summers breaking that game with my friend.
Predicting 9+ review score tomorrow🔥🔥👑
@@Kubush1 or maybe Sony actually make good games, ever thought about that? Don't bring info out your ass with that "well known for paying" shit😂😂
@@Kubush1 hahaha Sony doesn’t have the money to pay off any reviewers nor would they do so. You know how stingy Sony is with spending money. They just make good games and have good partnerships and it shows. Since mid 2020 they have last of us 2, ghost of Tshushima, final fantasy 7 remake and intergrade now, demon’s souls, sackboy, miles morales, returnal, and now Rachet and clank. Pretty stellar line up to play already on ps5 with better visuals and performance on all the games listed. The timed exclusives Xbox paid for: call to sea and falconeer, are now on PlayStation. And medium is coming soon. Xbox will have good games with the studios they have, but as of now, there is a big discrepancy in quality titles on both platforms.
@@Kubush1 How many frames do you get playing Holdfast Nations at War?
@@Kubush1 I can tell you are not a creator, but thanks for clearing that up. I can also tell you know 0 “Game Media” insiders but thanks for your inside knowledge on non-facts.
@@Kubush1 Saying you have "friends in the industry" has the same amount of credibility as saying "I saw a flying cow" You do not have friends in the industry and you just say you're a PC player to cover up your 2nd hand embarrassment of being an Xbox player. A real PC player wouldn't care about anything console related, not to the extent as to blatantly come and spread lies on a social media platform. Please go back to your imaginary friends and pray you get some good games
Seeing footage of the old games again, makes me remember the old armours and spaceships you progressed through. Fucking loved some of those designs.
man its so good to get a clarification on the games storyline/timeline. I recently have gotten into the Ratchet & Clank and been having fun playing the games, I do hope they make more. and maybe another movie perhaps?
You should totally put a high pass filter on your voice; those plosives are gnarly, listening to this with a subwoofer is painful lol
The amount of mispronunciations
And they completely skip over quarks redemption
meh, Quark is a trickster character: sometimes he's good, sometimes he's bad. but he only ever looks out for himself so he can never truly be redeemed.
@@ianism3 except he is redeemed because he actually does things for others in the games post UYA
I used to play rachet and clank up your arsenal on my ps3
Brings back memories🙄
With all these adventures, Ratchet is just a furrier cuddly Master Chief.
Deadlocked was honestly my favorite ratchet game ever, probably played through it 12 times when I was in middle school
Going commando, up your arsenal and deadlocked were my childhood and made it so great
9 games in the main storyline? Wow Ratchet and Clank are long running OGs.
i really wish insomniac would release a game where ratchet finds the lombax's and has to save them or release a mini movie or something where he meets the lombax's
Well it was teased at the end of Rift apart but that’s like the 4th time they’ve teased it.
Oh man, tools of destruction was my childhood
Omg deadlocked was an absolute masterpiece
After finishing Rift Apart 100% on new game+ I really hope we get 20th anniversary remaster of all these games. I had only ever played the first 3 of the series and can't believe I didn't even know the 2 most recent games existed! Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper are my favorite games from my childhood and they both deserve a good remaster
Tools of destruction was my first game it brings back so much nostalgia watching this I want to go back and play it now lol
Insomniac declared Size Matters (also the most sold R&C game) canon
Size matters is the most sold ratchet and clank game fr. Can u show me where u got that from wanna see.

2016 reboot is the best selling R&C game.
"It can turn any living creature into a robot."
Robotnik: "WWWWWWHAAAAAAAAT?! HIS GREATEST WEAPON IS PLAGIARISM!"
20 years, 3 other lombaxes, a functioning dimensionator, possible teasers for more lombaxes that are out there, and they still haven't found the lombax dimension 😭
I honestly feel like the 2016 entry takes place in a alternate universe instead of the canon universe we know.
Well it’s Qwark retelling what happened and he has a tendency to lie and forget
Ratchet and clank rift apart is a masterpiece 🙌
They need a going commando remake!
No
They can't happen now
And a proper one, like seriously keep the style, the dialogue, the soundtrack and everything and just throw modern graphics with 4k and that's it. Going Comando is such a piece of work, I'd even like to replay it as it on my PS5 in 4k.
Nope
@CJ P. you don't understand the real reasom behind the 2016 game existing.
A crack in time is easily the best
Ahh, Ratchet and Clank. So many fond memories. Playing the second game for 40 hours to upgrade all the weapons. Having my first seizure for playing a game for 40 hours to upgrade all the weapons. Fun times.
you love Rachet & Clank and you're a returning player. I suggest you start playing at the most difficulty level, otherwise it will seem to easy and boring. I had a great time and enjoyed the game more playing it on Renegade Legend. Super fun!!!
This triggered nostalgia.
We need the whole game series for PS4, ps5, stream or Nintendo, so the new generation can catch up the story and game
I love this games
I loved R&C: Up your Arsenal.
The multi-player Arenas were so fun.
Glad to finally see someone else who also played Up Your Arsenal online i loved it back in the day
I always find it a weird but interesting detail that all the lombaxs have 5 fingers where everything else has 3 fingers.
Probably part of what makes him a good mechanic
This game will be easier to buy than to actually play it.
I see what you did there :) (and agreed. I just got a Series X because Microsoft was literally on Facebook "Hey we have some in the store if you want some. Ordered Friday, arrived yesterday) - If only I could find a PS5 the same way!
A crack in time was the best entry in the franchise
So nostalgic . The very 1st moment i get my hands on ps2 and this game was a gift from my brother way back 2003. This game is sooo good & diffuclt coz its fuccing JP ver. i was mesmerize the world of R&C specialy collecting gold bolts and armaments in the game. Insomniac done very well on this
So cool to see the ps2 versions again, came a long way
I played Up Your Arsenal, Tools of Destruction, and a Crack in Time more than I can count
Man, you can tell when the writer has played the games, but the narrator has not.
Bio-liberator? There was nothing being liberated by that device.
He also forgot how to say lombax in the middle of the crack in time section
Could Rift Apart really be the endgame for the Dimensionator?
I'd say there is one more game based on the dimensionator in the tank if Rift Apart teaches us anything
Ratchet and clank up your arsenal is by far the greatest game of theirs. It was leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessors, with going commando coming in an easy second place. At least in my opinion lol.
Ahhhhhh....... I'm getting goosebumps. Favourite games from Ratchet and Clank....in any order
Ratchet and Clank 1
Ratchet and Clank Going Commando
Ratchet and Clank Up Yout Arsensal
Ratchet Gladiator
Tools of Destruction
And yes even Quest for Booty
And my favourite of all... A Crack in Time
If you haven't, please, plug in a PS3 and do yourself the service of playing Crack in Time. It's easily the best in the series, by far.
I agree so much. I LOVE Crack in Time. It’s just a huge shame that I no longer have a PS3… and I can’t use PS Now because it doesn’t exist in my country lmao
It's been a long time PSP memories
Really wished you mentioned Merc and Green when you got to Deadlocked. They were extremely essential to the game and dont get enough credit in the series lore. Also Size Matters was pretty important to the series lore as well. It introduced the idea that Ratchet and his race were special and rare. This is later brought up in Crack in time which gave Ratchet's past more backstory. I know you guys were just trying to condense the main idea of the "story" but youre seriously doing a genuine disservice to the long time devoted fans thats been with this series since the ps2 days and general newcomers that watch this video hoping to get the entire story in one sitting.
My memory is so strange, I thought the old games I played look at lot better but they definitely didn't age well. First time seeing the games since I played them as a kid.
I’ve played all of them, but tools of destruction carries so much nostalgia for me
I love the endgame of RaC 2002. I just find it kinda cool how the final destination is the first destination.
Having only played the ps3 one and the 2016 remake, this video is very helpful. I didn't know they were so connected
I've recognized a bit of the PS2 ones i kinda grew up with it (born 2001 for context) so it was nice seeing this as a recap, for some reason i still think of those weird little aliens that clank was with as super 'new'
Im watching this just as i completed rift apart
R&C All4One deserved a mention here. It was the last time we saw Nefarious and he showed a liiiitle afection for Ratchet, Clank and Qwark.
I see you did not include size matters, secret agent clank, All 4 one and full frontal assault. I don't blame you
He had explained it in the beginning
I still have all my original PS2 games, I haven't liked the new kid friendly versions but Rift Apart looks beautiful
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando will always be my favorite but A Crack in Time will always be the best game.
I loved the robot soldiers from ratchet and clank 3 screaming jeronimo all the time and saying nonsense in the missions
Love these games
YES CANT WAIT IM PLAYING IT ON FRIDAY LETS GO
Tools of destruction is my fav gameplay wise but going commando and the space station mission will always be my fav
The ratchet and clank original trilogy are the best ever R&C games imo
I’m ready for rift
Watches until after the third game
