Ratchet was way more interesting in PS2. He wasnt a massive Qwark fanboy, that however was Clank. But Ratchet was more smarter and cynical. I always felt Ratchet and Clank 1-3 was aimed towards kids and teenagers. But ever since "A Crack in Time" game, it has been mainly aimed at just kids in general. It just lost that edge and so did the design aswell
I had the same thought at first but you have to keep in mind that this play through is told through the lense of Cpt Quark so certain things like that get embellished
@@plexyglass429 And he actually dies. Not permanently, but it does happen. It's quite dramatic. I liked seeing that conflict between him and Alister. Alister was so bent on saving his race. But the Future series was much better than the forgettable R&C movie and tie-in game. The game is still very fun gameplay wise, having some of the best mechanics and gameplay of recent R&C games. It's just that the story...kinda sucks:/ And the movie was geared towards kids. I think it was Sony's decision to target kids with the latest R&C games though, in an attempt to expand the franchise's audience. The humor though funny is still a bit too over-the-top imo, and this is especially the case from Into the Nexus onward. They should tone it down a bit. It's too in-your-face at times, and it can kinda feel cringe. There's always someone talking on-screen while you're playing, like they have to hold your attention every few minutes or so.
Rift apart on the PS5 is definitely a return to form and has references to the first game. It was awesome I put it right under the first 4 games on the PS2 (includes deadlocked)
I'm just going to put it out there; 2002 Ratchet would shoot a man dead on the street for threatening Clank. 2016 Ratchet would try to laugh and be too quirky/cowardly to save Clank from anything lol.
"There is inherently meaningless about Rondo and Clank." ....Rondo and Clank? I thought this was Rondo and Robot? Are you even reviewing the same game??? GOOOSSSHHHH!!
The gameplay was good, but the plot and personality of all the characters had the depth of tracing paper- a huge step back for series. I know it was just to tie in with the movies, but they can do better than that. The dialogue was so dumbed down thst parts of it like Skidd Mcmarxx and the Gadgetron CEO were painful to listen to. Ratchet and Clank themselves also had no personality whatsoever
It's actually not a remake at all. The 2016" Remake " as everyone is calling is in actuality the story of a holofilm based on the events of the first game told by a former Captian to his cellmate. This is proven by the line " They are making a game , based off a holofilm , based off my life ?!?!". The holofilm is the movie that was released in 2016. The "Game" is the game based off said film . We are playing that game in the 2016 version it just has quarks storytelling being narrated over it. Keep in mind Quark has been in jail and is very full of himself. So being Quark he tells a extremely exaggerated version of the first games story with stuff added in by his cell mate who has seen the holofilm . The entirety of the 2016 version is just Quark being Quark telling a huge story. Parts he doesn't know he just makes up or its added in by his cellmate who has watched the holofilm and thus is not a reboot at all ! Don't hate on it love Quark XD
How does any of what you said make it not a remake? Like you're not wrong. Yes, in the fiction of this world, the game we're playing is apparently an actual game in said world. But in OUR world, it's a remake, or reboot. I'd go with reboot since it's rebooting the francise in a way, chucking out anything they don't like about the original titles in order to start a new story. One where Ratchet is a nervous little tripe and Clank is boring af... But like whatever. The original games still exist. But this remake/reboot, whatever you want to call it, really just feels like a corporate, soulless cash grab. In other words, it stands in opposition to the themes of the classic games. #Gadgetron indeed
Or how about this... the 2016 movie and ps4 game are both from different universe from the game timeline and nothing more. like, why can't we see it as that?
@michaeldunlap1032 exactly I saw it as the same level as the the secret agent clank show it's non canon it's just a in universe thing and what do you expect from the guy who's telling the story when his name is Leslie yes that's part of his name captain corvanicus Leslie quark
Honestly, my probably biggest gripe about the game. If they're gonna give Ratchet armor in this game, why didn't they just have optional armor upgrades mainly either for skill issue purposes or design purposes. At least when you collect enough gold bolts you can change the design of the armor to PRESET color palettes.
Si se hubiese llamado este juego Rondo y Robot en vez de Ratchet y Clank creo que todos seriamos mas felices, porque al menos no hubiera manchado la saga permanentemente.
it was ALRIGHT but i mean could have been wayy better. Me personally i did not experience any glitches or anything but even if this game sucked rift apart made up for it and i know that the story sucked in ratchet and clank 2016 but the gameplay was fun atleast.
Not finished with the video yet. Right at the 2min mark. So far this is an amazing video... this is the criticism im seeking with the Spyro Reiginted Trilogy, as that trilogy has a lot of similar and highly questionable overlooked issues.
3 years later*. I bought this gane because fans overhyped me this game. This is ny first R&C experience and ok... It's visually nice and actually fun to play. But the story and characters OOOOOH BOY... It was painful...
20:45 exactly. If it were just called "Ratchet & Clank: Qwarktastic" or so. I would just say, OK. Really low Budget RaC but OK. But now, it says, hey I am your beloved PS2 Game in Larger, bigger and better, but it is the opposite. It is really the OG Game. The OG Game was Platformer Fist and Shooter Second. This Game is Shooter First Platformer Second. This is the reason for the hate.
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Rift Apart video on Monday! -- UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Hey everyone, hope your holiday season's safe and jolly! Just wanted to update that everything below is still relevant, but I wanted to add that it looks like the Rift Apart video will be a January release.

Also, I do have a video planned for talking about my personal 2021 GotY, but I can't say yet if it'll be ready before or after Rift Apart, which is my main concern given how long it's taken!

Got some big plans... -- Hey everyone, is Scott! Since I'm not yet a big enough channel to have a Community tab, I thought I'd hijack the pinned comment of this video to address the obvious question going around: when the heck is the Rift Apart video coming? Short (and probably obvious) answer? It's coming, but it's gonna be a while longer! The Rift Apart analysis/critique has become a FAR bigger video than I had anticipated! In fact, with current prospects, it's due to be a longer video than even 'The Last of Us Part II Actually Sucks'... yikes... This has been a super difficult video to script and put together, I'll say that. I'm trying to balance thinking about the game on its own merits, while this time embracing the (unfavorable, spoiler alert) comparisons to previous games, all while balancing real-life responsibilities in the background since, y'know, I can't make a job of this quite yet. It's gonna be at least another month before it goes up, and I'm sorry about that! I do feel really bad to leave such a long gap between releases, so I've been considering tossing out a smaller / different video or two to entertain you in the meantime, either compiling all previous Ratchet videos in one, or maybe pulling from stream highlights, I dunno, still thinking about it.

It's a little thing, but since starting this series, over 100 new subscribers have officially joined the channel, which is nuts to me. Hopefully see you sooner rather than later
Fun gameplay and great graphics are the only positives imo. They ruined it with the bland, pandering garbage story, constant talking, and emotionless cutscenes. I blame the movie for the story being so bad. Rift apart is much better but nothing will beat the OG trilogy. Wish they would’ve just remade the 1st game with these graphics and gameplay and changed nothing with the story.
i think the reboot is a VERY fun game, maybe even more so than the original, but yeah the story and cutscenes are bottom tier. Even secret agent clank has better story and character.
This is a non canon game it's literally basically flat out said qwark is telling a dtory kinda like in the holavid comics hes in the bathroom in one but its said he defeated the amoboids but in truth ratchet and clank did the fighting and the fact he took credit in 3 for defeating the queen that ratchet and clank actually fought hes a known lier it's a tall tale from qwark thats what this game is
I have to play It, but thous far i understand, they 're trying to make a game based on a movie on a short time. Never like the original game. Hope in the future they gonna make a 2.0 version of the original calling David Bergeau tò redo the soundtrack in stereo
If this is your first RaC then yeah, you could be impressed. But if you are a long time fan, then you think yeah, this is the real basics of a modern RaC. Where is the stuff that makes it stand out? (Graphics don't count, RaC1, ToD all were awesome for it's time. But with Rift Apart you can't really say this is the best, if you even like the Artstyle in the first place) It has nothing to stand out. And if you play this Game, you have 0 idea how the OG Game is. Even when it is a reimagining, I think you should have a feeling for how the old game was. This Game is a entirely different Genre.
11:40 Thanks.... finally someone catches the Problem with the levelsystem. As much as I like the leveling of Weapons, it has this big downside you mention.
i know people are going to hate me for this but I like this one better then playing the first one again the first age badly I have them both or the three games on ps2 and ps3 and i never beat the first one until i got 2016 i wish they would make remake the other two games wait I forgot we will never get that because 90s and early 2000s will never stop hating on shit that is not from the 90s or 2000s so my gen cannot have shit seriously like come on let us have something.

A crack in time was kinda hard tho when I was a kid imo
I had the same thought at first but you have to keep in mind that this play through is told through the lense of Cpt Quark so certain things like that get embellished
Even then a crack in time had a pretty heavy story. Ratchet kills the last tie he has to his race, but it feels so wrong

....Rondo and Clank? I thought this was Rondo and Robot? Are you even reviewing the same game??? GOOOSSSHHHH!!
I was gonna say, but I saw this comment already say it. Who the hell is Clank??
Rondo and Robot I'm fucking dying

Ratchet and Clank themselves also had no personality whatsoever
It was Captain qwark telling the story the same dude who's a complete idiot and known lier who will say anything to make himself seem good
Gameplay wise this game is a masterpiece, story wise it’s the worst of the worst.
It's actually not a remake at all.

thats no excuse for how terrible it was, total waste of abunch of money the games started to suck after deadlock.
I hated Qwark in 2002 and I hate him today. Having him narrating anything is so annoying.
Or how about this... the 2016 movie and ps4 game are both from different universe from the game timeline and nothing more. like, why can't we see it as that?

Infinite Warfare, but it's for younger folks. Also, this is still better than any CoD games today.
Unexpected motivated man sighting
Idk if you're still making videos but I'd watch the heck out of you talking about DMC.
Honestly, my probably biggest gripe about the game. If they're gonna give Ratchet armor in this game, why didn't they just have optional armor upgrades mainly either for skill issue purposes or design purposes. At least when you collect enough gold bolts you can change the design of the armor to PRESET color palettes.
This ratchet feels to resemble the ratchet and clank: Future version of ratchet rather than the classic ps2 era version, even down to their outfits
Si se hubiese llamado este juego Rondo y Robot en vez de Ratchet y Clank creo que todos seriamos mas felices, porque al menos no hubiera manchado la saga permanentemente.
it was ALRIGHT but i mean could have been wayy better. Me personally i did not experience any glitches or anything but even if this game sucked rift apart made up for it

I loved this game until I went back and played the originals again
Now that size matters is on the ps4 I find it hard to play this for a reason other than nostalgia for 2016.
3 years later*. I bought this gane because fans overhyped me this game.
This is ny first R&C experience and ok... It's visually nice and actually fun to play. But the story and characters OOOOOH BOY... It was painful...
This video is great. I’m glad to be here before it hits a million views! I also strangely feel like playing Jak and daxter
20:45 exactly.
If it were just called "Ratchet & Clank: Qwarktastic" or so. I would just say, OK. Really low Budget RaC but OK.

Can’t wait, this video was well put together and very entertaining.
With mods you could fix this game some what, add original music, remove the cutscenes and voices lol
Look - the plumber's... back
I would like you to review the ps5 ratchet
edit: i see you hid it in your "A Complete Critique of the ENTIRE Ratchet & Clank Series" video
THE lowest point in the series history, almost killed the series in my opinion
I thought the gameplay was fun but I agree that the story sucked.
Bro it was Insomniac's best selling game at the time what are you on about😂
@@Kswaf706 just because it sold well doesn't mean that it's a quality game
@@TheJuanishere he meant the part where u said it killed the serise as that clearly made the serise larger
It just looks bad in general, The PS2 And PS3 and PSP are better
Fun gameplay and great graphics are the only positives imo. They ruined it with the bland, pandering garbage story, constant talking, and emotionless cutscenes. I blame the movie for the story being so bad. Rift apart is much better but nothing will beat the OG trilogy.

11:03 Fortnite boogie bomb? 🤨
This game came out with it first since tools of destruction.
@@reddemon6668I'm aware. Just think it was funny that he couldn't think of any other dancing enemy weapon
This was a solid game but I definitely refer the OG PS2 version for sure. Ratchet at least has some balls and not every character is corny af.
i think the reboot is a VERY fun game, maybe even more so than the original, but yeah the story and cutscenes are bottom tier. Even secret agent clank has better story and character.
This is a non canon game it's literally basically flat out said qwark is telling a dtory kinda like in the holavid comics hes in the bathroom in one but its said he defeated the amoboids but in truth ratchet and clank did the fighting and the fact he took credit in 3 for defeating the queen that ratchet and clank actually fought hes a known lier it's a tall tale from qwark thats what this game is
Love the humor of this video. Especially Rondo and Robot. Subbed.
I have to play It, but thous far i understand, they 're trying to make a game based on a movie on a short time.
Never like the original game.
Hope in the future they gonna make a 2.0 version of the original calling David Bergeau tò redo the soundtrack in stereo
Ppl hating on ratchet n clank? That’s new. Going to a whole another level.
And I holding my self to not explode with this video.
If this is your first RaC then yeah, you could be impressed.

As much as I like the leveling of Weapons, it has this big downside you mention.
If we would have gotten just a remake of Ratchet and Clank 1 with strafing included, I would have been happy.
Well, that was the fastest thumbs down I ever gave in my life!
Next vid when?
Soon
Calling this game ''bad'' is a wild af take.
The REE heard 'round the world...
Lol, Rondo & Robot (of coures it's obvious if ya know what I mean)
Totally accurate video
i know people are going to hate me for this but I like this one better then playing the first one again the first age badly I have them both or the three games on ps2 and ps3 and i never beat the first one until i got 2016 i wish they would make remake the other two games wait I forgot we will never get that because 90s and early 2000s will never stop hating on shit that is not from

Its a good game just to short 4hours and the game is out pff
TBH you hate all the games at this point. I still respect your opinion tho
You’re page is sooo underrated
I totally agree with this video.
No
Your eyes are highly interesting
Was a really good game i enjoyed it.
Eh i don't really care still had fun with the game.
this video deserves more love for sure
Subbed.
Are you Southern
It is pretty bad lol
Sorry but his armor set is cool. I can give the game that at least. The blue one mostly
But this is the game i love
