That's the evil scheme of Insomniac games! They make their Ratchet games so addictive and fun, but then they make them JUST short enough to make us clamour for more, so we'll buy the NEXT game! It's diabolically brilliant!
the original trilogy games weren't that short, they had a solid amount of game play. Crack in Time was a decent length too, the most recent game that I can't remember the name of wasn't long enough for me though but it had the best game play of the series imho.
***** The future trilogy is a quadrilogy (people forget about Into the Nexus, which is awesome). So with the PS2 trilogy that's 7 games. Then with Size Matters, Deadlocked, and the new one, that's 10 games. heh. I was on point.
+CaptainAtomSmasher into the nexus was the game I was thinking of, it was really too short. I beat it in 6 hours, but it had the best game play of all of them.
Rachet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, and the first 3 spyro games always make me feel like im 9 years old Saturday morning at 10am just playing the day away. So nostalgic.
Ratchet and Clank is NOT a direct remake of the original. Ratchet, Quark, Drek, ext...are COMPLETELY different characters. The story and entire vibe of the game is different. The original was rated T and had many adult jokes and straight up brutal violence while this one is obviously made for kids. Dr. Nefarious isn't even in the original and the Galactic Patrol is never hinted at both of which are huge plot points in this game. Also there aren't any guns from the original title in this game they took guns from later titles. Many planets were also removed or altered greatly making this game far shorter than the original. The music is also completely changed. Overall I say the original is a better game with better Characters, Story, Music, Level Design and a more Unique feel while this one takes some improvements from later titles and incorporates those in. You compare this Game to Pixar I'd compare the original to something like a PG-13 Conker game. And I really miss Old Ratchet we don't get enough heroes like him in games, this new one is generic.
I like your points Jirard, but you are very wrong about this "Lombax racism" issue. Ratchet is believed to be the last Lombax in existence. The Ratchet & Clank Future series has stories that expand on the Lombax race and what happened to them. The reason they bring up his being a Lombax is because he is one of a kind in this story.
Aestras she's not confirmed to be a Lombax. Insomniac said she's only a similar species like a hybrid between a Lombax and another species which is why she's literally twice his height. That being said people only believe Ratchet is the last one because they're that rare. As far as I know it's implied they can't be confirmed extinct or confirmed how many of them there are left. It's implied their are others potentially out there but a handful in an entire universe means that chances are if you meet or know one not only would you assume it's the only one left but you'd also be experiencing something only like 0.00001 percent of people in the universe would see.
@@slothoverlord4388 yes but they also say that she’s been missing for years by that point. Because of that from everyone’s perspective Ratchet is the last of his kind. Basically people in universe think she died
The new game is more of a reimagining than a remake. Only about half the game is the same as the original. the ending and most of the plot is changed completely
Well yeah I know that. I was just referring to when he said that it was basically a remake and that veterans might not like the game because it's too similar. The early game is pretty similar but the ending levels are wildly different
I loved this game. As a veteran Ratchet and Clank player, it was really nice to see old levels come to live with current-gen technology. However, my ONLY gripe with this game is the fact that it seems more like a kids game. The original Ratchet and Clank had some pretty serious themes and darker tones throughout. While this game is by no means bad to me, the lighthearted story really threw me off. Even the villain didn't seem to evil to me. Even though this game is amazing by itself, I think I will always prefer the first Ratchet and Clank. It felt more mature and in a good way.
+ThePalerider12 Yeah Drek was really castrated in this game, along with the original more fleshed out development the characters had in the original game. Ratchet was honestly a selfish bastard with a adventurous heart of gold in the first game, hardly a bad person but still, and the growth he underwent with Clank throughout it was what made the foundation of the friendship the characters would later have.
+Brocktimus Prime As someone who's played since the start of the franchise, I never liked Ratchet's dickish attitude to Clank in the first game. It was inconsistent from level to level and just wasn't good story telling, IE you probably shouldn't dislike the character you're playing as. I feel like I see a lot of people defending things like this because its old and what they grew up with, rather than in an objective matter. This remake is a net gain on all fronts as far as I'm concerned, save maybe Starlene's design and the lack of that goofy easter egg.
You know I played the reboot first and went back for the older ones, and the soundtrack in the new one is not bad either. I like the 2002 soundtrack better, but I can’t dog on it it sounds pretty good especially the first couple tracks in the reboot
"The game's too short." *22 hours of playtime* Ah, the ol' this-games-so-good-gimme-more-please high. Every single Ratchet and Clank game will do that to you.
It's also released at half the price of most retail games, so you are getting a pretty great bang-to-buck ratio. And hey, if you want more, the older games aren't going anywhere.
.......underrated? what the heck gives you that idea? they are some of the PlayStation icons, up their with jak and Daxter, Laura croft and so on. every PlayStation fan knows these characters and their games. and each has their own massive fanbase to take in consideration as well. trust me, these game series are far from underrated. real underrated games/series are the dark cloud (dark chronicle in the UK) series, brutal legend, blue dragon, and so on.
SolarstrikeVG I'll spell it how I feel. Never was a real fan of hers anyway so it really doesn't matter to me. Long as people know who I'm talking about right?
the characters in the game go on and on about rachet being a lombax not because their trying to be racist but because rachet is the last of his kind so everyone is kinda surprised that he exists because they thought the lombaxes were extinct
He was only the last of his kind in the newer series, in the original series there was a notable Lombax character in the second game. Although the second game took place in a different galaxy from the first so... One Lombax on average per Galaxy is still freakishly, astronomically rare.
+PervertedNovaxc3 Is it me? Or did any else think that the Nefarious fight from the third game was really hard. Even on challenge mode with everything at max level.
@@Jtob410 I agree. I think the originals characters are better but I do think its funny how the reboot is telling it through quarks perspective which is why ratchet is so different compared to his og version.
+Aresh Septango It's a shame because Nefarious is a great villain and all.... but so was Drek, originally. It's like Insomniac really just wanted to get Drek out of the way so they can make everything about Nefarious instead. Which I disliked.
Antiform Well Nefarious became the main antagonist for the series when Quark became good so they want to start that off early which is a shame because I loved that last few scenes in Ratchet and Clank.
+Aresh Septango It's basically a reboot between both the first and second game, both telling the story of Chairman Drek, and telling the story of how Nefarious became the evil ROBOT overlord he is in the originals. We never really got to see him as a squishy, just as a robot overlord with a space butler. It's fresh paint, on a fresh canvas, giving us the same picture.
The characters in the game remind you often, that you are a Lombax, not because they are racists, but because Ratchet is the only Lombax left(with some exceptions here and there) But the whole Lombax thing doesnt get too important until the the first Ps3 game. Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction
But Is Angela really a lombax? It was never stated, apart from her being very similar to Ratchet, and having 5 fingers. The only character we know for sure is a lombax is Azimuth from ACiT.
Kibop actually a Crack in time supposedly confirms it but at the same time insomniac said once or twice she's only a similar species. Hence being twice as tall. In cannon she could very well be a hybrid between a Lombax and another species.
@@Skyfire-dy4yw can confirm, was actually replaying it, and they mentioned they were on the hunt for her, and called her a lombax. She is also confirmed to just be what all female lombaxs look like, since they don't have tails. Also, the poor male news anchor got a rude comment on the subject.
Hey guys ! Wanted to apologize, I got a few things wrong in today's episode. The game runs at 30fps, not 60. I said the level cap wrong, and I showcased the Sheepinator incorrectly. I'm sorry if I disappointed you guys, I am human and I make mistakes every now and then. Happy Friday Jirard
+That One Video Gamer Well, technically, you DID show the Sheepinator, but the model that was originally used for the old games rather than the reboot. The one you actually mixed up was the Groovitron, where you showed a picture of the Pre-Order Bouncer weapon instead. Of course I'm saying this for trivia sake, not to make you feel bad.
So, if you could design a goofy weapon, what would it be? (*bonus points for designing what it looks like. Keep an eye on the facebook page for the post about it!)
+That One Video Gamer Does anybody remember the contest with the first R&C where you needed to design a weapon and if yours was picked out it would be put into the sequel.
+That One Video Gamer I'd probably make a penis gun that shoots suspicious white fluids, but that would be too obvious, too overdone and too immature. No, what I'd make is a rocket-launcher that fires boxing gloves like from old school cartoons
I appreciate the completionist giving complements the game since I like this franchise a lot. The third installment of Ratchet and clank has a special place in my heart because it's the first game of Ratchet and clank I have ever played!
No, no the PS3 trilogy is absolutely horrible. It drops frames frequently and the helmets don't freaking fit Ratchet. Wtf, how the fuck did they manage that. I found that the brighter colours made the graphics of the originals games look awful.
Yeah true. I am also worried about the Crash trilogy going to be released on PS4 as the said a "Remastered" series. So if they do what they did with the Ratchet and Clank games with a PSone series, we're not going to have a good time. If they to a full re-imagining like this game it should be a lot more fun. I'm not optimistic though.
as much as I love the ratchet and clank games I have to admit the first one doesn't hold up too well. I think of it like the first assassins creed game. definitely play it it's the start of something big but you can definitely feel that it's a little dated.
I like to consider myself a Ratchet and Clank veteran (I've been playing the games since the first and I have every single one in the series but two of them) and I genuinely loved the game (and the movie, but that's not the point here). I dunno, some others may have different opinions, but I definitely thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hmm.. yeah they don't go over the fact that most people think Lombaxes are extinct huh.. Yeah, its not alien racism. Ratchet is literally the last Lombax alive.
+Tyler Lindsey-Delise which we never see again for some odd reason even though she was very cool and I wanted her to return to be ratchets love interest
12:10 Raritanium. You could already find and collect Raritanium from the original Ratchet and Clank on PS2 back in 2002. Avatar didn't launch until 2009. Sure it was in progress already back in the 90's, but we didn't know about the Rare-Up-Tanium till the movie was released. So in conclusion, Ratchet and Clank was there first with the Raritanium! Thank you, and have a great day! 😊
Hello, I am actually a veteran of the ratchet and clank franchise and I personally love the game and the movie it is based off of. Like you said they are definitly better if you watch the movie and play the game as it will add a lot more story to the experience. However, one thing I would like to bring up was that the galactic rangers never denied him because he was a lombax. People mention he is a lombax a lot because later on you learn that most of his species has completely vanished from the universe and that seeing a lombax is extremely rare.
+Slyron Yeah, they could have made that a little clearer in the game/movie for newcomers. The whole point of everyone mentioning his species is because they were supposed to be extinct, as well as it making him easy to identify on sight
+Slyron It's a bit weird, because they didn't brought that plot point up until in tools of destruction which i believe still is within the timeline of the first 3 ratchet and clank and you see 2 female lombaxes in 2 different games, Angela Cross from going commando and Sasha Phyronix from up your arsenal and Ratchet seems to have neutral reactions to them and they seem to be treated like any normal species, nor is rarity brought up. Hell I didn't even know Ratchets species name until Deadlock with hat comment about the lombax ears selling more then the Ace hardlight figures. Sasha is also apparently mentioned in tools of destruction but I missed that and maybe Angela? I guess they rebooted the game in order to transit that Ratchet is alone in the universe thing more smoothly, because they somehow forgot about it? Or maybe there going to have those 2 and make their reveals more emotional or surprising. Anyhow I kinda hope Angela does come back, she was one of my favorite characters in the series.
Antiform I did read a bit more and it says shes a Cazar but can you really blame for making that mistake, she looks like she can be a sub species of lombax, anyone that doesn't explain Angela.
+ZwitchMasterHD Both Raritanium and Unobtanium as well as a few others are pretty standard engineering slang for materials with impossible properties. You'll see it in prototype designs or fantasy designs like space elevators. Generally these materials are used as stand-ins for materials that need to be developed to achieve some goal and fall between known materials and neutronium (a material made out of pure neutrons which is also a fantasy with the maximum possible mass and strength as it is essentially shaped custom atoms with no charge)
I have watched a couple videos and they are simply amazing. I truly love this channel and have decided to subscribe! This channel has actually made me want to try and 100% different games, I've never actually did that. Keep up the good work! I really can't find anything to criticize, so just keep doing what you're doing!
I went back and watched this video again because I the game part of psplus in March. I started playing it over the past few days and I’m really enjoying it! Keep picking such great games to show case on your channel!!
Yes he has the game, but that doesn't means he has played it. I have a lot of PS2/3 games, but I haven't played them. What I am gettting at is, even when someone has a game it doesn't means that the person has played the game.
+capy bara He usually puts something that pertains to the video not random ones, and he's never played another ratchet and clank game so you wouldn't see it.
As much as I hoped it would run at 60fps, it's pretty much confined to running at 30fps with some (but not excessive) frame drops. But yes, besides that and perhaps the overall story, this is a solid reboot.
+Spoil Sport Glad I wasn't the only one that was thinking that! It's been, well, seven years since I saw Avatar though so I didn't wanna call it out and be wrong lol
+Stephen Kelly Well, to be fair, the RYNO in R&C 2016 sort of plays a knock-off version of the 1812. You're thinking more of the Mega RYNO V from A Crack In Time, which *does* play a small snippet of the 1812 Overture on loop as you hold the trigger down.
"The best part involving the voice acting is the writing" I literally laughed out loud. You WOULD think this writing is good, Jirard. The only thing worse than the voice acting in this game is the writing. I can't believe what Insomniac has done to Ratchet & Clank...
Drew Orscheln I don’t take great issue with the voice acting itself but I despise the character animations. They’re so god damn lifeless and ironically inanimate. Characters are just staring into the nothingness when talking. How is it that a game done in the early 2000 managed to make its characters more animated and alive feeling than a game in the 2010’s is beyond me. Bad writing too. It’s a crying shame and yet so many people have fallen for this game. I’m stunned every time someone that said they’ve played the OG games that would them say that this game is acceptable and/or even better
A game based on the movie, based on the game that was made into a movie, then into a game based on the movie based on the game that was made into.... Wait, what was i saying?
You're on the right track but do you want to hear the funnier thing. Its a game based off of a movie based off of the first game of the series told through a different character's perpesective...
It's not a reboot of the franchise, just of the first game. The game kinda "adapts it" to the rest of the franchise,because the first game is really crude and weird compared to the most recent entries
Paul Giamatti ruined Drek, just an awful voice for that character. I have problems with this review as Jirard is a novice to the series. Ireally wanted to here about how there were planets taken out and how they lacked to compensate for that. I was let down by this game, sadly. The character development wasn't good between Ratchet and Clank, there's no conflict between them like in the first game. Ratchet acts like a kid in this and really distances me as a 20 year old hoping to relate to my childhood character. I REALLY didn't like the lack of new weapons, I believe there were just 2 (the pixelizer and the Proton drum) and even the RYNO was ripped straight from Crack in Time. I thought they'd include older, more liked weapons from the original trilogy but they chose to make this game basically just a future game with the first game's story. The game was beautiful, the story wasn't great, there were too few weapons, the game was short, and above all, the game was WAY to easy even with hard mode on and auto aim off.
I was also disappointe by the weapons. was hoping for tesla claw at least. An how awesome would it have been if there were more end game levels like Oltanis and hoven. The game was fantastic up until the first visit to quartu, from that point on the story becomes too disjointed and rushed and the levels feel "thrown in" for extra length.
Bevan Smith i agree kevin james richardson played a very serious and threatening drek which made his comedic moments way more funny this new drek feels like a joke from the start
Kevin James Richardson? This isn't The King of Queens lol. It's Kevin Michael Richardson. Also, the current game gave Ratchet & Clank NO development time. They hardly even make eye contact in the game. Nobody has personality or character animation, the jokes are the scum on the bottom of the bucket tier and "le maymays xD". Ratchet is too similar to Clank in interests, when in the first game they were polar opposites. And as stated before, going into the second game, you can really see how much Ratchet matured as a character when he realized how important his actions were.
22:10 YOU DIDN'T VISIT THE INSOMNIAC MUSEUM?!?!?!?!?!?!? DUDE! CHALLENGE MODE -> GRIMS GARAGE NEAR HIS OFFICE -> TELEPORTER TO THE MUSEUM! YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE GAME UNTIL YOU VISITED THE INSOMNIAC MUSEUM! The Insomniac Museum IS in EVERY R and C game with Exception to R and C 1, and they are FUN AS HELL!
Actually, the Insomniac Museum only appears in the following Ratchet and Clank games: - Going Commando - Up Your Arsenal - A Crack in Time - And this one
I went there but I didn't really get it. I guess it showed all kinds of stuff from the previous games but this is my first Ratchet and Clank game so I just checked every hangar out and left.
I guess they went in a new direction with it... The original Insomniac museums, notable from Rachet and Clank 2 and 3, along with Crack in Time we're always a lot of fun to unlock and to look forward to. Mostly because of what was in each one; they would include enemies without their textures, small mini games that never made the final cut, all sorts of things. Examples in each museum: In 2 and 3 of Rachet and Clank, they had an effect generator where you could make your own bullets pull off interesting colors and effects. In 2, there was a cut race track they left in the games code; you can race it, but there's no competition. In Crack in Time, there was a setup to fight and lead Argonians (Red-Warrior-Like-Alien-Race) against other Argonians and switch fighting tactics mid fight. In 3, there we're extra hacking puzzles that we're more difficult to solve, though if you beat them in the said museum, you would get a voice clip of the developers talking about the game, the development cycle and the museum. It was content like this in those museums that was always a joy to literally look forward to. While the museum in the PS4 is a little disappointing to me, it was a trip down memory lane for me and each of those pod-bay door rooms included gear from every Rachet and Clank game except for the Video Room. That just included the very first Rachet and Clank Game Commercials + All the Games Cut scenes.
I LOVE MR. ZURKON!!!! i remember that "A crack in time" was the first game of the series i played and he was my favourite part he even dances when you use the disco weapon
i still much prefer the story in the original game. it had alot more character development for both ratchet and clank along with having more planets and weapons. the level design for some planets is exactly the same while others is changes which i dont mind except for veldin because any r&c vet knows veldin is a very important planet and we have a connection to it because its our home while in the reboot its like 10 minutes long and you will never revisit it except for 1 card pack. please play the original trilogy because you will not be disappointed in them.
+hhheeeccckkk526 While the gameplay in the reboot is far superior to the original first game, I still have to agree with you. They left out the differences in character between Ratchet and Clank and had Drek as a villain I just could not take seriously. They really should have left the story and the amount of planets untouched.
+hhheeeccckkk526 Yeah honestly I liked the original game better too. I liked the fact that Ratchet and Clank didn't quite get along and had a lot of different ideas. The character development was so much better.
+Void (SheldonCoopersBrain) I don't think you were meant to take drek seriously. Also, this game is 40 dollars not 60, so I'd assume that means they had a smaller budget and had less to work with. If I'm right which, don't take my word for it, they probably couldn't fit in all the content they wanted.
+Sanic Fast The fact that we aren't meant to take Drek seriously is demeaning to what was formerly a really memorable villain. I will say, at the fucking LEAST, the movie still has Drek land on his new planet and get hit with the deplanetizer, UNLIKE the game which doesn't show it (and also, for whatever reason, has a completely different ending??)
If there's one thing I will always love insomniac for, it's their innate ability to come up with the most crazy bizarre weapons in a video games. Ratchet & clank was the tip of the iceberg, when you play sunset overdrive for the first time it'll blow you away.
Im a veteran and I must say, I loved this Game! They did enough changes to the story to make it a fresh experience but with an added "Oh I remember that"-Factor.
People keep complaining about that Bouncer thing and how hard it is to get......... STEP 1: GO TO EBAY STEP 2: TYPE IN 'RATCHET AND CLANK BOUNCER CODE' STEP 3: BUY THE DANG CODE
+Blaze Does Gaming I did just that already! xD I was upset at first tho cuz I preordered it but in the shop I pre ordered it from it didn't do the bouncer so I didn't get it :(
Blaze Does Gaming You could on the Ps store aswell. I already ordered a code tho so I am getting it. Just unfortunate that i had to pay an extra fiver on it.
yeh i always remember that cus of how dumb it was when i first heard it... i guess these guys just warped it in their heads to sound more like the ratchet and clank version by mistake
Veteran player of the first four games, here. I played most of Size Matters, but pretty much stopped playing for a long time. However, picked this up and LOVED it. I had a few gripes, but now I want to go back and play the old stuff again. I actually just earned my platinum trophy for this game, so I think it's safe to say I had a lot of fun :)
This is not representative of the series. Please don't base your opinion of the series on this one game. Play the others. That being said, I did really enjoy this game, just not the parts directly connected to the film. I'm actually Let's Playing it at present.
+Nana-Kyoto But my only feeling is, is that, there isn't all that much on their's either, at least for me. Uncharted sure, and this, and KH 2.8. But other than that, not much else. For me. Either way I agree.
+TeckGeck Yea I was really disappointed too. Kevin is soooo good, great at serious roles and comedic ones. I guess he doesn't really fit the character though with his voice. He fits better with big, burly characters.
The reason that guy is so surprised that his relative really does know a Lombax is because the Lombaxes are: 1. From a different galaxy than the one you're currently in, and so aren't in that part of space much. 2. Mostly completely missing, as a war in their home galaxy ended with almost all of them vanishing into another universe using somthing called the Dimensionator, which is generally either broken or in the hands of a villain. 3. As a race, one of the most technologically advanced in the universe and the stuff of legend, even before they vanished. Also, Clank is so different from the warbots being made because there was long-range outside interference by Orvis, one of the Zoni that caused the defect in the first place. The Zoni have time-travel technology (very dangerous, overuse of such tech nearly ended the entire universe and necessitated construction of the Great Clock at the exact centre of the universe [{quietly} give or take 50 feet] to hold reality together), and are also able to freely go between universes, so it's quite subtle interference and won't be found out until much later in Clank's life, and is only discovered due to info from Orvus himself. If you want more, try completing A Crack in Time. That game's got general more, and has a pretty good completion bonus for some of its tasks. It's also got Mr Zurkon and the Groovatron, the RYNO V causes ammo crates to spawn in or respawn immediately if it runs low on ammo (not everywhere, just in places where if you don't have it they spawn/respawn once you run low on general ammo, such as inside an arena area that cannot be manually exited without failing the challenge and requires you to defeat enemies or fail the challenge in order to leave), and does not instantly win the game (there's a boss with enough HP that a full RYNO clip won't beat them unless you get really close to them before firing, and no crates can spawn in the area you fight them, and challenges where you have to use a specific weapon or have randomly switching weapons (the latter gives you weapons with full ammo every time it switches, even if the weapon selected has come up multiple times and should be out of ammo), where it isn't of help (it can't appear in the bit where you get a random weapon you own)), and as an added bonus not only does the game have a wide variety of weapons, but the basic grenade, blaster and shotgun weapons come with a wide range of parts used to change them, including 3 special mods which add different special effects to the weapon. Just remember that the game has a fourth secret difficulty, and so the first time you play the game you just need to reach the end, as you have to start a new save to change difficulty (you can keep multiple separate saves for the game at the same time, as many of them as you want), and nothing you do will carry over. Fortunately for you, the trophies for clearing the game on a given difficulty are also awarded for clearing on a higher difficulty, so you don't have to play the game on easy. Said trophies are mostly benign, because all the really annoying stuff is instead attached to the Skill Points found in-game, each of which is worth different amounts towards various bonuses.
Not enough games these days implement cheats like games from the older era. Devs don't seem to grasp how much more replayability and fun factor cheats add to a game.
Does invincibility and infinite ammo really count as cheats that expand the game though? I like more stuff like what the Lego starwars games did. invincibility just makes a game pointless. I want something fun for a cheat. Something to change the gameplay.
Maybe infinite ammo but not invincibility. I say infinite ammo due to the fact there might have been those moments where you wana use your fave gun, but you ran out of ammo. Also the lego star wars that whus on the original XBox is love
+Waffle Wisard But those both change the gameplay when there's zero threat of death. You don't have to dodge around everything and conserve ammo, it completely changes your gameplay style. Hell, that old cheats list in GoldenEye 64, Invincibility is the hardest one to get.
If Sony announced an HD remake of the OG Spyro trilogy, I'd buy the game and a PS4 in a heartbeat! But alas, those dreams will never come through fruition. Damn you, Crapivision, and your dumb Skylander games!
+RJTheHero The worst part is that Spyro wasn't supposed to be in Skylanders at all. They slapped his name onto a generic dragon design to exploit the nostalgia crowd.
+Antiform I heard that before all the amiibo stuff Activision tried to convince Nintendo to let them use their IP for skylanders (to add nostalgia effect) and, of course, Nintendo rejected the offer (probably because they don't like to handle their IP to other companies) but Activision still wanted some nostalgia to sell this new type of game and... they see Spyro.
As a ratchet and clank veteran I approve of this game. Also the weapon I would use is a bear launcher that shoots actual bears, and the bears would have silly costumes every time, especially one with a unicycle. Stay cute completionist!
+Carl Wagoner Sorry to say but I strongly disagree. The game only uses certain clips from the movie and a majority of the cutscenes were created specifically for the game. The movie is not only cutscenes from the game spliced together. The game just happens to utilize some scenes. Plenty of movie licensed games(especially those based on animated films) tend to use clips from their cinematic counterparts. So no, it is not the EXACT same as the game. I saw the movie first and played the game after so to me, it's not that hard to tell which scenes were taken from the film and which scenes aren't. Not saying you're an idiot or anything, it's just that this statement has been bothering me for a while and I felt like bringing up my counter-argument. One thing I will agree you on is that the game is better than the movie(but I still enjoyed the movie).
Probably fifty people have said this already, but that song around 20:10 is the 1812 Overture, probably picked for this because it's the only piece I know of where cannon is a vital instrument.
What is with people and liking Mr. Zerkon... I wish he had a mute button, not only that but the story feels empty and the character development more so... and the music is as bland as oat meal. Sure the graphics are good and its still fun... but the original had more to offer IMO and wasnt so easy.
One question. Do they still have that green skinned woman outside one of the races whose breasts get larger and larger every time you jump in front of her? You know, the random silly easter egg that you-know-who had a hissy fit over? We need to know!
if you do plan on doing the rest of them plz do them in order. they are amazing games have adult jokes(included in most of the titles) and are just a blast to play. i highly recomend them.
That's the evil scheme of Insomniac games! They make their Ratchet games so addictive and fun, but then they make them JUST short enough to make us clamour for more, so we'll buy the NEXT game! It's diabolically brilliant!
+FootofaFerret But there has been like... 10 games, though. So, I have had enough, tbh.
+Temple Of Azure Flame I dont know, secret agent clank was pretty good for what it was.
the original trilogy games weren't that short, they had a solid amount of game play. Crack in Time was a decent length too, the most recent game that I can't remember the name of wasn't long enough for me though but it had the best game play of the series imho.
***** The future trilogy is a quadrilogy (people forget about Into the Nexus, which is awesome). So with the PS2 trilogy that's 7 games. Then with Size Matters, Deadlocked, and the new one, that's 10 games. heh. I was on point.
+CaptainAtomSmasher into the nexus was the game I was thinking of, it was really too short. I beat it in 6 hours, but it had the best game play of all of them.
There are no humans in Ratchet and Clank. Captain Qwark has 3 fingers.
there is but quark isnt one
+Toxic-Vermin Really? Who? Dan?
+Jake Eyes I wonder if the citizens or Burbank count...
I think Ratchet is the only character in the game with more than 2 fingers.
well it is a completely different galaxy
Rachet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, and the first 3 spyro games always make me feel like im 9 years old Saturday morning at 10am just playing the day away. So nostalgic.
timhatten Don’t forget Sly Cooper!
timhatten if you were like me in R&C, your ammo was at max 100% of the time and your wrench was the ultimate weapon
Sly Cooper: am I a joke to you
R&C is the closest you can get to a playable Pixar movie.
LMFAOO i was so stuck at the early levels as a kid coz i wouldnt use any of my gadgets and would rather use the wrench

Ratchet and Clank is NOT a direct remake of the original. Ratchet, Quark, Drek, ext...are COMPLETELY different characters. The story and entire vibe of the game is different. The original was rated T and had many adult jokes and straight up brutal violence while this one is obviously made for kids. Dr. Nefarious isn't even in the original and the Galactic Patrol is never hinted at both of which are huge plot points in this game. Also there aren't any guns from the original title in this game they took guns from later titles. Many planets were also removed or altered greatly making this game far shorter than the original. The music is also completely changed.
Overall I say the original is a better game with better Characters, Story, Music, Level Design and a more Unique feel while this one takes some improvements from later titles and incorporates those in. You compare this Game to Pixar I'd compare the original to something like a PG-13 Conker game. And I really miss Old Ratchet we don't get enough heroes like him in games, this new one is generic.
Dude the flamethower is in the og ratchet and clank and some others
dr nefarious was in the original game, he just wasn't shown until UYA, he created the amoeboids.
Same
That's 11% true, and I wish they would just remake deadlocked or any of the others for the PS4 but this is all I have for my Father fix RN 😥

Taco Percy WHAT CRAZED MANIAC WOULD DENY US THE BOX DESTRUCTION?!?
I like your points Jirard, but you are very wrong about this "Lombax racism" issue. Ratchet is believed to be the last Lombax in existence. The Ratchet & Clank Future series has stories that expand on the Lombax race and what happened to them. The reason they bring up his being a Lombax is because he is one of a kind in this story.
Clay Stewart What about the girl Lombax in Going Commando?
Aestras she's not confirmed to be a Lombax. Insomniac said she's only a similar species like a hybrid between a Lombax and another species which is why she's literally twice his height. That being said people only believe Ratchet is the last one because they're that rare. As far as I know it's implied they can't be confirmed extinct or confirmed how many of them there are left. It's implied their are others potentially out there but a handful in an entire universe means that chances are if you meet or know one not only would you assume it's the only one left but you'd also be experiencing something only like 0.00001 percent of people in the universe would see.
@@pfitz9346 Wasn't she confirmed to be a Lombax in A Crack In Time through one of the Space Radio Newscast things though?
Clay Stewart that’s why he should have played the original games
@@slothoverlord4388 yes but they also say that she’s been missing for years by that point. Because of that from everyone’s perspective Ratchet is the last of his kind. Basically people in universe think she died
The new game is more of a reimagining than a remake. Only about half the game is the same as the original. the ending and most of the plot is changed completely
+Gamblord That's not necessarily a bad thing, though.
Well yeah I know that. I was just referring to when he said that it was basically a remake and that veterans might not like the game because it's too similar. The early game is pretty similar but the ending levels are wildly different
+Gamblord I miss Lawrence though...
And Helga :(
+Gamblord Helga is gone?!?! Nooooooooo
I loved this game. As a veteran Ratchet and Clank player, it was really nice to see old levels come to live with current-gen technology.
However, my ONLY gripe with this game is the fact that it seems more like a kids game. The original Ratchet and Clank had some pretty serious themes and darker tones throughout. While this game is by no means bad to me, the lighthearted story really threw me off. Even the villain didn't seem to evil to me. Even though this game is amazing by itself, I think I will always prefer the first Ratchet and Clank. It felt more mature and in a good way.
+Brocktimus Prime True enough, Chairman Drek in the first game was far more evil.
+ThePalerider12 Yeah Drek was really castrated in this game, along with the original more fleshed out development the characters had in the original game. Ratchet was honestly a selfish bastard with a adventurous heart of gold in the first game, hardly a bad person but still, and the growth he underwent with Clank throughout it was what made the foundation of the friendship the characters would later have.
+Brocktimus Prime ...I'm fairly certain it's ALWAYS been light-hearted despite there being a dark story when you actually think about it.
bubbajoe117
Agreed!
+Brocktimus Prime As someone who's played since the start of the franchise, I never liked Ratchet's dickish attitude to Clank in the first game. It was inconsistent from level to level and just wasn't good story telling, IE you probably shouldn't dislike the character you're playing as. I feel like I see a lot of people defending things like this because its old and what they grew up with, rather than in an objective matter.
This remake is a net gain on all fronts as far as I'm concerned, save maybe Starlene's design and the lack of that goofy easter egg.
Review the PS2 ones next. I guarantee you will like them better.
Also the PS2 game soundtrack is amazing.
he was playing tracks from it in the review, so i think he knows. David Bergeaud is amazing and it's a pity he stopped scoring the games.
Looks like he still prefers the gameplay of the 2016 over the ps2 ones after seeing his review of them
You know I played the reboot first and went back for the older ones, and the soundtrack in the new one is not bad either. I like the 2002 soundtrack better, but I can’t dog on it it sounds pretty good especially the first couple tracks in the reboot
"The game's too short."
*22 hours of playtime* Ah, the ol' this-games-so-good-gimme-more-please high. Every single Ratchet and Clank game will do that to you.
Arin worthy
It's also released at half the price of most retail games, so you are getting a pretty great bang-to-buck ratio.
And hey, if you want more, the older games aren't going anywhere.
+Grample Gust Across 2 playthroughs :P Although new game+ adds some extra stuff.
+Grample Gust to be fair tho the games are short: i remember one summer several years ago i burned though the original series in 4-5 days total
+Grample Gust That's why they have new game plus with every single game :)
"I've never played a Ratchet & Clank game before," and the Ratchet & Clank Collection for PS3 sits behind you.

He does mention fans would mail him games to review so
He also has an entire production team that may have played the series and supplied the games.
floating helmets
A gamer like him, you know they've collected so many games, that it is maintaining their future video game agenda.
I can't believe how underrated R & C and Sly Cooper are.
.......underrated? what the heck gives you that idea? they are some of the PlayStation icons, up their with jak and Daxter, Laura croft and so on. every PlayStation fan knows these characters and their games. and each has their own massive fanbase to take in consideration as well. trust me, these game series are far from underrated. real underrated games/series are the dark cloud (dark chronicle in the UK) series, brutal legend, blue dragon, and so on.
Lara recently jumped ship to MS, though RotTR is coming to PS4 in Winter...
SolarstrikeVG well old before reboot Laura croft. Nathan Drake would be the better example.
Master Illusio It's Lara, not Laura.
SolarstrikeVG I'll spell it how I feel. Never was a real fan of hers anyway so it really doesn't matter to me. Long as people know who I'm talking about right?
the characters in the game go on and on about rachet being a lombax not because their trying to be racist but because rachet is the last of his kind so everyone is kinda surprised that he exists because they thought the lombaxes were extinct
Setting up for the sequel.
+Ethan Prince So it's more like "you got a pet dodo? How!?" than anything else.
Volvagia1927 precisely
He was only the last of his kind in the newer series, in the original series there was a notable Lombax character in the second game. Although the second game took place in a different galaxy from the first so... One Lombax on average per Galaxy is still freakishly, astronomically rare.
Ethan Prince I never thought they were racist.
Ratchet And Clank 2 is the best of them all, it still holds up today.
+Game Over I prefer Up Your Arsenal, but Ratchet and Clank 2 really did raise the bar and improve on the first game in every way
+PervertedNovaxc3 It was really hard tho.
I only have 1&3.
Game Over Wait which one? 3? I never found that one particularly difficult, except for maybe Nefarious's boss fight at the end
+PervertedNovaxc3 Is it me? Or did any else think that the Nefarious fight from the third game was really hard. Even on challenge mode with everything at max level.
You really gotta play the original, Ratchet and Clank's character development is way better
flip that’s the first thing I said 2 min into the video. The 2016 just went through the motions while the 2002 game was more meaningful.
@@Jtob410 I agree. I think the originals characters are better but I do think its funny how the reboot is telling it through quarks perspective which is why ratchet is so different compared to his og version.
nefarious wasn't even in the first game , nor a lot of content, so its not just a fresh paint
+Aresh Septango and it doesn't look like they have the flight stages or boots and hats.
You unlock hats with the golden bolts, from the Captain Quark one, to the Snagglebeast hat.
+Aresh Septango It's a shame because Nefarious is a great villain and all.... but so was Drek, originally. It's like Insomniac really just wanted to get Drek out of the way so they can make everything about Nefarious instead. Which I disliked.
Antiform
Well Nefarious became the main antagonist for the series when Quark became good so they want to start that off early which is a shame because I loved that last few scenes in Ratchet and Clank.
+Aresh Septango It's basically a reboot between both the first and second game, both telling the story of Chairman Drek, and telling the story of how Nefarious became the evil ROBOT overlord he is in the originals.
We never really got to see him as a squishy, just as a robot overlord with a space butler.
It's fresh paint, on a fresh canvas, giving us the same picture.
The characters in the game remind you often, that you are a Lombax, not because they are racists, but because Ratchet is the only Lombax left(with some exceptions here and there) But the whole Lombax thing doesnt get too important until the the first Ps3 game. Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction
every character just denies angela ever existed and its great
But Is Angela really a lombax? It was never stated, apart from her being very similar to Ratchet, and having 5 fingers. The only character we know for sure is a lombax is Azimuth from ACiT.
Pretty sure it's canon.
Kibop actually a Crack in time supposedly confirms it but at the same time insomniac said once or twice she's only a similar species. Hence being twice as tall. In cannon she could very well be a hybrid between a Lombax and another species.
@@Skyfire-dy4yw can confirm, was actually replaying it, and they mentioned they were on the hunt for her, and called her a lombax. She is also confirmed to just be what all female lombaxs look like, since they don't have tails. Also, the poor male news anchor got a rude comment on the subject.
Ratchet & Clank came out *before* Avatar.
So you *have* to pronounce Raritanium as, "Rare-it-ay-nium"
+Noeabe Carrillo
Don't forget how the metal in James Cameron's Avatar is called Unobtainium. Somehow even less original. Go figure.
Hey guys !
Wanted to apologize, I got a few things wrong in today's episode. The game runs at 30fps, not 60. I said the level cap wrong, and I showcased the Sheepinator incorrectly. I'm sorry if I disappointed you guys, I am human and I make mistakes every now and then.
Happy Friday
Jirard
+That One Video Gamer Don't worry, man. I don't like the new Sheepinator design anyway. :P
please do The Evil Within
You didn't disappoint anyone, it's good that you make these edits explaining errors :)
jirard im begging you do the entire cratchet series. ittl make me forget gregs gone :'(
+That One Video Gamer Well, technically, you DID show the Sheepinator, but the model that was originally used for the old games rather than the reboot.
The one you actually mixed up was the Groovitron, where you showed a picture of the Pre-Order Bouncer weapon instead. Of course I'm saying this for trivia sake, not to make you feel bad.
As a R&C veteran, its fun and i love it! Glad you enjoyed your first R&C game.
You know, Qwark never did look truly like human, besides the skin, so technically, we have NEVER SEEN a single human.
So, if you could design a goofy weapon, what would it be? (*bonus points for designing what it looks like. Keep an eye on the facebook page for the post about it!)
+That One Video Gamer Does anybody remember the contest with the first R&C where you needed to design a weapon and if yours was picked out it would be put into the sequel.
+WOAW WOWOWOW No, but I'm pretty sure the one giant energy saw gun from Crack in Time was the winner of a fan contest
The Pun Gun
It fires physical puns at Mach speeds
you could say it's quite
PUNishing
+That One Video Gamer I'd probably make a penis gun that shoots suspicious white fluids, but that would be too obvious, too overdone and too immature. No, what I'd make is a rocket-launcher that fires boxing gloves like from old school cartoons
That One Video Gamer dank meme cannon m9 😎
I appreciate the completionist giving complements the game since I like this franchise a lot. The third installment of Ratchet and clank has a special place in my heart because it's the first game of Ratchet and clank I have ever played!
You have to play the trilogy on ps3 bro its amazing
No, no the PS3 trilogy is absolutely horrible. It drops frames frequently and the helmets don't freaking fit Ratchet. Wtf, how the fuck did they manage that. I found that the brighter colours made the graphics of the originals games look awful.
Bevan Smith ikr but since its on the ps3 i just thought of it. but play the ps2 versions if you can
Yeah true. I am also worried about the Crash trilogy going to be released on PS4 as the said a "Remastered" series. So if they do what they did with the Ratchet and Clank games with a PSone series, we're not going to have a good time. If they to a full re-imagining like this game it should be a lot more fun. I'm not optimistic though.
I just ordered a PS3 for it lol
ps2 trilogy is way better though

+Andrew Hooven dont forget Tools of Destruction and Into the Nexus!
+ootdega Resident Evil 4 was an amazing game
as much as I love the ratchet and clank games I have to admit the first one doesn't hold up too well. I think of it like the first assassins creed game. definitely play it it's the start of something big but you can definitely feel that it's a little dated.
AMR15x
Still better than the reboot though
I like to consider myself a Ratchet and Clank veteran (I've been playing the games since the first and I have every single one in the series but two of them) and I genuinely loved the game (and the movie, but that's not the point here). I dunno, some others may have different opinions, but I definitely thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hmm.. yeah they don't go over the fact that most people think Lombaxes are extinct huh.. Yeah, its not alien racism. Ratchet is literally the last Lombax alive.
+SBCannon Nah, there are a couple others. Played ratchet and clank 2 and crack in time? Yeah. Can't blame you for saying that though haha
Bozolink Well yeah there's Angela and the one from the Future series. But the main point of the comment was that most people think they're extinct lol

+Michael Aiyedun In the main universe,there's also that Lombax from R&C Locked and Loaded
Except for that other female lombax in the second game.
+Tyler Lindsey-Delise which we never see again for some odd reason even though she was very cool and I wanted her to return to be ratchets love interest
+Bulink She was basically Lara Croft but with more sass and slapstick
12:10 Raritanium. You could already find and collect Raritanium from the original Ratchet and Clank on PS2 back in 2002. Avatar didn't launch until 2009. Sure it was in progress already back in the 90's, but we didn't know about the Rare-Up-Tanium till the movie was released. So in conclusion, Ratchet and Clank was there first with the Raritanium! Thank you, and have a great day! 😊
Hello, I am actually a veteran of the ratchet and clank franchise and I personally love the game and the movie it is based off of. Like you said they are definitly better if you watch the movie and play the game as it will add a lot more story to the experience. However, one thing I would like to bring up was that the galactic rangers never denied him because he was a lombax. People mention he is a lombax a lot because later on you learn that most of his species has completely vanished from the universe and that seeing a lombax is extremely rare.
+Slyron gotta admit, the way they explained that in the movie cracked me up XD more the imagery, but still.
+Slyron Yeah, they could have made that a little clearer in the game/movie for newcomers. The whole point of everyone mentioning his species is because they were supposed to be extinct, as well as it making him easy to identify on sight
+Slyron It's a bit weird, because they didn't brought that plot point up until in tools of destruction which i believe still is within the timeline of the first 3 ratchet and clank and you see 2 female lombaxes in 2 different games, Angela Cross from going commando and Sasha Phyronix from up your arsenal and Ratchet seems to have neutral reactions to them and they seem to be treated like any normal species, nor is rarity brought up. Hell I didn't even know Ratchets species name until Deadlock with hat comment about the lombax ears selling more then the Ace hardlight figures. Sasha is also apparently mentioned in tools of destruction but I missed that and maybe Angela? I guess they rebooted the game in order to transit that Ratchet is alone in the universe thing more smoothly, because they somehow forgot about it? Or maybe there going to have those 2 and make their reveals more emotional or surprising.
Anyhow I kinda hope Angela does come back, she was one of my favorite characters in the series.
rorrim0
Sasha's not a Lombax. She's the daughter of the galactic president.
Antiform I did read a bit more and it says shes a Cazar but can you really blame for making that mistake, she looks like she can be a sub species of lombax, anyone that doesn't explain Angela.
you sort of said that raritanium is a knock off from avater but ratchet and clack and raritanium is before avater
+ZwitchUp He says plenty of times that he hasn't played the others, of course he wount know that raritanium shows up the other games and before avatar
+ZwitchUp Not to mention that it isn't even called rareobtanium in avatar. It's Unobtanium.
+ZwitchMasterHD Both Raritanium and Unobtanium as well as a few others are pretty standard engineering slang for materials with impossible properties. You'll see it in prototype designs or fantasy designs like space elevators. Generally these materials are used as stand-ins for materials that need to be developed to achieve some goal and fall between known materials and neutronium (a material made out of pure neutrons which is also a fantasy with the maximum possible mass and strength as it is essentially shaped custom atoms with no charge)

I don't know about you, but Raul Julia NAILED the role as Bison in Street Fighter.
RIP.
You forgot about the Insomniac Museum.
"The best part involving the voice acting is the writing"
I literally laughed out loud. You WOULD think this writing is good, Jirard. The only thing worse than the voice acting in this game is the writing. I can't believe what Insomniac has done to Ratchet & Clank...
Drew Orscheln I don’t take great issue with the voice acting itself but I despise the character animations. They’re so god damn lifeless and ironically inanimate. Characters are just staring into the nothingness when talking.
How is it that a game done in the early 2000 managed to make its characters more animated and alive feeling than a game in the 2010’s is beyond me. Bad writing too. It’s a crying shame and yet so many people have fallen for this game.
I’m stunned every time someone that said they’ve played the OG games that would them say that this game is acceptable and/or even better
A game based on the movie, based on the game that was made into a movie, then into a game based on the movie based on the game that was made into.... Wait, what was i saying?
You're on the right track but do you want to hear the funnier thing. Its a game based off of a movie based off of the first game of the series told through a different character's perpesective...
It's not a reboot of the franchise, just of the first game. The game kinda "adapts it" to the rest of the franchise,because the first game is really crude and weird compared to the most recent entries

Paul Giamatti ruined Drek, just an awful voice for that character. I have problems with this review as Jirard is a novice to the series. Ireally wanted to here about how there were planets taken out and how they lacked to compensate for that. I was let down by this game, sadly. The character development wasn't good between Ratchet and Clank, there's no conflict between them like in the first game. Ratchet acts like a kid in this and really distances me as a 20 year old hoping to relate to my childhood character. I REALLY didn't like the lack of new weapons, I believe there were just 2 (the pixelizer and the Proton drum) and even the RYNO was ripped straight from Crack in Time. I thought they'd include older, more liked weapons from the original trilogy but they chose to make this game basically just a future game with the first game's story.
The game was beautiful, the story wasn't great, there were too few weapons, the game was short, and above all, the game was WAY to easy even with hard mode on and auto aim off.
The developer got flack for how they portrayed Ratchet in the first game and immediately changed him in the sequel.
I was also disappointe by the weapons. was hoping for tesla claw at least. An how awesome would it have been if there were more end game levels like Oltanis and hoven. The game was fantastic up until the first visit to quartu, from that point on the story becomes too disjointed and rushed and the levels feel "thrown in" for extra length.
Bevan Smith i agree kevin james richardson played a very serious and threatening drek which made his comedic moments way more funny this new drek feels like a joke from the start
Mathieu Leblanc True. But Ratchet acting the way he did in the first was good for the development of his character later on in titles
Kevin James Richardson? This isn't The King of Queens lol. It's Kevin Michael Richardson.
Also, the current game gave Ratchet & Clank NO development time. They hardly even make eye contact in the game. Nobody has personality or character animation, the jokes are the scum on the bottom of the bucket tier and "le maymays xD". Ratchet is too similar to Clank in interests, when in the first game they were polar opposites. And as stated before, going into the second game, you can really see how much Ratchet matured as a character when he realized how important his actions were.
22:10 YOU DIDN'T VISIT THE INSOMNIAC MUSEUM?!?!?!?!?!?!? DUDE! CHALLENGE MODE -> GRIMS GARAGE NEAR HIS OFFICE -> TELEPORTER TO THE MUSEUM! YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE GAME UNTIL YOU VISITED THE INSOMNIAC MUSEUM!

Actually, the Insomniac Museum only appears in the following Ratchet and Clank games:
- Going Commando
- Up Your Arsenal
- A Crack in Time
- And this one
Thanks for the correction; still does not excuse the completionist from GOING TO IT!
FROM NOT GOING TO IT* Grammar correction.
I went there but I didn't really get it. I guess it showed all kinds of stuff from the previous games but this is my first Ratchet and Clank game so I just checked every hangar out and left.
I guess they went in a new direction with it...
The original Insomniac museums, notable from Rachet and Clank 2 and 3, along with Crack in Time we're always a lot of fun to unlock and to look forward to.
Mostly because of what was in each one; they would include enemies without their textures, small mini games that never made the final cut, all sorts of things.
Examples in each museum:
In 2 and 3 of Rachet and Clank, they had an effect generator where you could make your own bullets pull off interesting colors and effects.
In 2, there was a cut race track they left in the games code; you can race it, but there's no competition.
In Crack in Time, there was a setup to fight and lead Argonians (Red-Warrior-Like-Alien-Race) against other Argonians and switch fighting tactics mid fight.
In 3, there we're extra hacking puzzles that we're more difficult to solve, though if you beat them in the said museum, you would get a voice clip of the developers talking about the game, the development cycle and the museum.
It was content like this in those museums that was always a joy to literally look forward to. While the museum in the PS4 is a little disappointing to me, it was a trip down memory lane for me and each of those pod-bay door rooms included gear from every Rachet and Clank game except for the Video Room. That just included the very first Rachet and Clank Game Commercials + All the Games Cut scenes.
I LOVE MR. ZURKON!!!!
i remember that "A crack in time" was the first game of the series i played and he was my favourite part
he even dances when you use the disco weapon
There's one game when mr Zurkon has a family
Same and that one game was in the nexus
+Hot Rodd24 And the ps4 Ratchet and Clank, but Zurkon Jr is a weapon and Mrs Zurkon is a boss.
Crates? You waste mr zurkons time with crates
I literally JUST learned about this movie right now. I didn't even know this was a movie until Jirard said so...
Never played Rachet and Clank. Has a Rachet and Clank PS3 game behind him.
+Crape Maybe it's apart of his backlog.
i almost choked on my food after "raptor whoa"
i absolutely loved this game and after i beat it ive gone on to buy and complete all the other games in the franchise. well, ones on console anyway.
Ratchet Clank Tools of Destruction was the BEST
+patyos2 I kinda still liked A Crack In Time just a bit more.
I'd say Up Your Arsenal.
i'd say Super Agent Clank
+patyos2 Crack In Time and the original were the best imo. Btw is that a nymph avatar ? :)
+patyos2 Personally I liked Crack in Time more. Best in the series imo
i still much prefer the story in the original game. it had alot more character development for both ratchet and clank along with having more planets and weapons. the level design for some planets is exactly the same while others is changes which i dont mind except for veldin because any r&c vet knows veldin is a very important planet and we have a connection to it because its our home while in the reboot its like 10 minutes long and you will never revisit it except for 1 card pack. please play the original trilogy because you will not be disappointed in them.
+hhheeeccckkk526 While the gameplay in the reboot is far superior to the original first game, I still have to agree with you. They left out the differences in character between Ratchet and Clank and had Drek as a villain I just could not take seriously. They really should have left the story and the amount of planets untouched.
+hhheeeccckkk526 Yeah honestly I liked the original game better too. I liked the fact that Ratchet and Clank didn't quite get along and had a lot of different ideas. The character development was so much better.
+Void (SheldonCoopersBrain) I don't think you were meant to take drek seriously. Also, this game is 40 dollars not 60, so I'd assume that means they had a smaller budget and had less to work with. If I'm right which, don't take my word for it, they probably couldn't fit in all the content they wanted.
Sanic Fast That might be true and would be quite unfortunate.
+Sanic Fast The fact that we aren't meant to take Drek seriously is demeaning to what was formerly a really memorable villain.
I will say, at the fucking LEAST, the movie still has Drek land on his new planet and get hit with the deplanetizer, UNLIKE the game which doesn't show it (and also, for whatever reason, has a completely different ending??)
If there's one thing I will always love insomniac for, it's their innate ability to come up with the most crazy bizarre weapons in a video games.
Ratchet & clank was the tip of the iceberg, when you play sunset overdrive for the first time it'll blow you away.
Please play Ratchet and Clank 1. The story is a million times better.
Agreed but the gameplay is not as good.
"Let me show you... the GROOVITRON!"
**a picture of the Bouncer pops up**
Im a veteran and I must say, I loved this Game! They did enough changes to the story to make it a fresh experience but with an added "Oh I remember that"-Factor.
Ok, don't want to hate, just saying that you didn't quite understand some parts of this game because you didn't play the olders.
People keep complaining about that Bouncer thing and how hard it is to get.........
STEP 1: GO TO EBAY
STEP 2: TYPE IN 'RATCHET AND CLANK BOUNCER CODE'
STEP 3: BUY THE DANG CODE
+Blaze Does Gaming I did just that already! xD I was upset at first tho cuz I preordered it but in the shop I pre ordered it from it didn't do the bouncer so I didn't get it :(
I'm pretty sure it was only if you pre-ordered on Amazon because it mentioned the bouncer code there.
Blaze Does Gaming You could on the Ps store aswell. I already ordered a code tho so I am getting it. Just unfortunate that i had to pay an extra fiver on it.
guys and girls why doesn't Jirard not have millions of subscribers yet he is so awesome
yeah thats really not a ratchet game you wanna start with.
Raritanium was done by Ratchet and Clank before rareobtanium by Avatar.
MysterIschism Its called "Unobtanium"
Yessssss. This Completionist dude needs to stick to reviewing games he actually knows.
yeh i always remember that cus of how dumb it was when i first heard it... i guess these guys just warped it in their heads to sound more like the ratchet and clank version by mistake
@@Auron710 Yeah, but that turned what would have been a kinda funny bit into some cringe-inducing attempt at a joke...
Veteran player of the first four games, here. I played most of Size Matters, but pretty much stopped playing for a long time. However, picked this up and LOVED it. I had a few gripes, but now I want to go back and play the old stuff again. I actually just earned my platinum trophy for this game, so I think it's safe to say I had a lot of fun :)
This is not representative of the series. Please don't base your opinion of the series on this one game. Play the others. That being said, I did really enjoy this game, just not the parts directly connected to the film. I'm actually Let's Playing it at present.
I want a PS4 now.
+Nana-Kyoto I KNOW!
It's an awesome system! :)
+Nana-Kyoto Ikr, i'd want to buy one too :3
+Nana-Kyoto But my only feeling is, is that, there isn't all that much on their's either, at least for me. Uncharted sure, and this, and KH 2.8. But other than that, not much else. For me. Either way I agree.
+Nana-Kyoto Yeah, might get one just so I can get the ratchet and clank bundle :3
Grew up playing the originals and definitely wouldn't have come across this one on my own, it was interesting to see how different the new one is!
"1080p resolution locked at 60fps"... err.... That's 30 fps.
whos here when the game became free on PS4?
Speaking for the veterans, I want this game to be like the first 3 games, they are the best in the series, and yes I have played ALL of them.
if Jirad gets the ratchet and clank trilogy game. Then that would be a challenge to 100% them all. especially the first one.
also congrats on 600 subscribers Jirad!
He has 600,000, not 600...
+Shrek The Ogre yeah ikr I just noticed that. I dun goofed. XD
The first one was the easiest to 100% imo. The hardest for me was 3 actually, because of the qeark minigames time trials
The originals are way better than the 2016 ratchet
Ratchet and Clank is my favorite franchise of all time. I enjoy the games as much in my mid twenties as I did when I was 10.
Lock 60fps? The games locked at 30fps
How do you know?
+tjlnintendo It's really clear that it runs at 30 when you play it.
solid 30 is just fine . so who cares?
+Pelaajakingi There is a CLEAR difference.
+tjlnintendo They have bad TVs, its 60 fps
Wait a minute. They replaced voice acting God Kevin Michael Richardson with Paul Giamatti? Why?
IKR?!
+TeckGeck Yea I was really disappointed too. Kevin is soooo good, great at serious roles and comedic ones. I guess he doesn't really fit the character though with his voice. He fits better with big, burly characters.
They are two very, very different takes on the character, though I personally prefer Paul Giamatti's Drek.
Uh... because celebrity? But Giamatti's Drek isn't bad.
+Antiform they I guess decided to do something different
The reason that guy is so surprised that his relative really does know a Lombax is because the Lombaxes are:
1. From a different galaxy than the one you're currently in, and so aren't in that part of space much.
2. Mostly completely missing, as a war in their home galaxy ended with almost all of them vanishing into another universe using somthing called the Dimensionator, which is generally either broken or in the hands of a villain.
3. As a race, one of the most technologically advanced in the universe and the stuff of legend, even before they vanished.
Also, Clank is so different from the warbots being made because there was long-range outside interference by Orvis, one of the Zoni that caused the defect in the first place. The Zoni have time-travel technology (very dangerous, overuse of such tech nearly ended the entire universe and necessitated construction of the Great Clock at the exact centre of the universe [{quietly} give or take 50 feet] to hold reality together), and are also able to freely go between universes, so it's quite subtle interference and won't be found out until much later in Clank's life, and is only discovered due to info from Orvus himself.
If you want more, try completing A Crack in Time. That game's got general more, and has a pretty good completion bonus for some of its tasks. It's also got Mr Zurkon and the Groovatron, the RYNO V causes ammo crates to spawn in or respawn immediately if it runs low on ammo (not everywhere, just in places where if you don't have it they spawn/respawn once you run low on general ammo, such as inside an arena area that cannot be manually exited without failing the challenge and requires you to defeat enemies or fail the challenge in order to leave), and does not instantly win the game (there's a boss with enough HP that a full RYNO clip won't beat them unless you get really close to them before firing, and no crates can spawn in the area you fight them, and challenges where you have to use a specific weapon or have randomly switching weapons (the latter gives you weapons with full ammo every time it switches, even if the weapon selected has come up multiple times and should be out of ammo), where it isn't of help (it can't appear in the bit where you get a random weapon you own)), and as an added bonus not only does the game have a wide variety of weapons, but the basic grenade, blaster and shotgun weapons come with a wide range of parts used to change them, including 3 special mods which add different special effects to the weapon. Just remember that the game has a fourth secret difficulty, and so the first time you play the game you just need to reach the end, as you have to start a new save to change difficulty (you can keep multiple separate saves for the game at the same time, as many of them as you want), and nothing you do will carry over. Fortunately for you, the trophies for clearing the game on a given difficulty are also awarded for clearing on a higher difficulty, so you don't have to play the game on easy. Said trophies are mostly benign, because all the really annoying stuff is instead attached to the Skill Points found in-game, each of which is worth different amounts towards various bonuses.
Also, Clank actually has personality in ACiT instead of being reduced to the reboot's nodding smiling lunchbox.
Not enough games these days implement cheats like games from the older era. Devs don't seem to grasp how much more replayability and fun factor cheats add to a game.
+Yu Narukami I used to really love that stuff. Sucks it's not in a lot of games these days.
+Yu Narukami Would you cheats in Persona 4/P4 Golden?
Does invincibility and infinite ammo really count as cheats that expand the game though? I like more stuff like what the Lego starwars games did. invincibility just makes a game pointless. I want something fun for a cheat. Something to change the gameplay.
Maybe infinite ammo but not invincibility. I say infinite ammo due to the fact there might have been those moments where you wana use your fave gun, but you ran out of ammo. Also the lego star wars that whus on the original XBox is love
+Waffle Wisard But those both change the gameplay when there's zero threat of death. You don't have to dodge around everything and conserve ammo, it completely changes your gameplay style. Hell, that old cheats list in GoldenEye 64, Invincibility is the hardest one to get.
If Sony announced an HD remake of the OG Spyro trilogy, I'd buy the game and a PS4 in a heartbeat! But alas, those dreams will never come through fruition. Damn you, Crapivision, and your dumb Skylander games!
Totally with you there.
Sony could buy it but unfortunately I don't think they are going to do it.
+RJTheHero The worst part is that Spyro wasn't supposed to be in Skylanders at all. They slapped his name onto a generic dragon design to exploit the nostalgia crowd.
+Antiform I heard that before all the amiibo stuff Activision tried to convince Nintendo to let them use their IP for skylanders (to add nostalgia effect) and, of course, Nintendo rejected the offer (probably because they don't like to handle their IP to other companies) but Activision still wanted some nostalgia to sell this new type of game and... they see Spyro.
... And then Nintendo ended up making Bowser/DK Skylanders anyway. Wonderful.
As a ratchet and clank veteran I approve of this game. Also the weapon I would use is a bear launcher that shoots actual bears, and the bears would have silly costumes every time, especially one with a unicycle. Stay cute completionist!
I hate to be one to nitpick but the game isn't a 60 FPS game it is a 30FPS
the fps jumps between 30fps and 60fps
+Pelaajakingi No.
The originals and the PS3 remasters run at 60.
This runs at 30.
Go see a doctor if you can't see the difference.
+Pelaajakingi No it doesn't?
The new Rachet and Clank movie is the EXACT same as the game...so you basically played the movie(game is A LOT better than the movie!)
+Carl Wagoner
Sorry to say but I strongly disagree.
The game only uses certain clips from the movie and a majority of the cutscenes were created specifically for the game.
The movie is not only cutscenes from the game spliced together. The game just happens to utilize some scenes.
Plenty of movie licensed games(especially those based on animated films) tend to use clips from their cinematic counterparts.
So no, it is not the EXACT same as the game.
I saw the movie first and played the game after so to me, it's not that hard to tell which scenes were taken from the film and which scenes aren't.
Not saying you're an idiot or anything, it's just that this statement has been bothering me for a while and I felt like bringing up my counter-argument.
One thing I will agree you on is that the game is better than the movie(but I still enjoyed the movie).
A lot of planets were taken away and also changed. Some of the most popular and loved planets, meh, scrap them smh
Probably fifty people have said this already, but that song around 20:10 is the 1812 Overture, probably picked for this because it's the only piece I know of where cannon is a vital instrument.
Will you also do the ratchet and clank trilogy on PS3? its 3 awesome games in 1
What is with people and liking Mr. Zerkon...
I wish he had a mute button, not only that but the story feels empty and the character development more so... and the music is as bland as oat meal.
Sure the graphics are good and its still fun... but the original had more to offer IMO and wasnt so easy.
1:00 I was expecting a bear head to pop up somewhere. ...BEARS!!
"aww yeah, completionist playing ratchet and clank... 2016... yeah, pass"
One question. Do they still have that green skinned woman outside one of the races whose breasts get larger and larger every time you jump in front of her? You know, the random silly easter egg that you-know-who had a hissy fit over? We need to know!
+ionic0 well, fuck that
if you do plan on doing the rest of them plz do them in order. they are amazing games have adult jokes(included in most of the titles) and are just a blast to play. i highly recomend them.
I don't think the game runs at 60 fps.
+Peter Korman sadly won't get any games at 60FPS on consoles until next gen
+Derek “Hero989” Shook our until PS4 neo
PS4 Neo wont magicly give you 60fps.
I guarantee that calling this a "Pixar" game pissed off some people. It's more of a "DreamWorks" game.
The "Playing a PIXAR movie" effect was nailed on the Ps3's R&C Future series.
When you said you had never played a R&C game before I nearly disliked the video unscrubscribed and go back to challenge mode 420 of a crack in time
Ratchet and clank veteran wants to play the absolute living shit out of this game
U where going to dislike a video and unsubscribe just because someone hasn't played a game that's really stupid
SupaBoi 911
*sigh* how did I know someone wouldn't realize it's a joke
