"Tetrafiber gives you confidence where other protection fails"
Is that referencing condoms?
OH IDK GUESS
@@Disturbance77 Hmm, I guess it could be, in a game series where every subtitle is an innuendo but I don't know :>
@@KaiserMattTygore927 yeah I know it's a reference
@@KaiserMattTygore927 necroposting?
This video contains the highest quality footage of unused RaC 2 weapons on UA-cam, which is awesome. The demo comparisons were neat too
Thanks!!
Great to see we are still having fun with this game after 15 years
The original is going on 20 years old now, I can't believe it. Less than two months away.
I think the main reason the audio for the one Thugs for Less fight was cut was mostly due to the fact that Clank was included in the audio and having Clank with you for that fight was optional (meaning you could fight the boss before rescuing Clank). Also note that if you have Clank on your back during this fight, Clank does not show up in the cutscene at all, not even on Ratchet's back (despite being there when the actual battle starts).
It's disappointing though; I would have liked the cut content to have been added since I see nothing wrong with the audio used.
P.S: Same goes with the scene where Ratchet gets his second wrench; in the final scene Clank and Ratchet end up not being together at all due to having been split up. Sigh. Basically all of the cut scenes were cut because of Clank's absence. Sucks...
Well, that's the main drawback of making branching paths in the levels, the story and scenes become harder to develop, especially when a main character is temporaly absent. They also messed up in the Barlow hoverbike cutscene, though in the opposite way: Clank always appears in it despite the high chance that you still haven't rescued him in Endako.
Those Laser Mines seem to act like Tesla Spikes.
Yeah
TorpedoFTW Steve Yeah but looked pretty useless.
Just like Tesla Spikes
I was just about to comment that!
yooooo its torp!! love your twitch streams
20:46 WHOA Qwark was ACTUALLY gonna be the final boss? Damn, that would've been rad. Instead, we just got... well, the protopet...
IIRC the text that appears after you beat the game telling you about challenge mode also says "before you beat qwark"
The original final boss was going to be the real Fizzwidget instead. They changed it in the last minute when they realized Qwark still hadn't appeared in the entire game aside from a couple tv show clips, which would've crippled the development of his story in the trilogy. The end result was still disappointing, I agree. Sadly, they didn't put enough care on the plot this time.
Sort of a shame we didn't get platinum weapons I guess
+Soko Shinigaming If they were still there then I'd be using them! I'd like to know what they would've looked like
The reason why they stopped special bolt weapon upgrades after RAC 1 is because now you can upgrade your weapons just by using them and in challenge mode you can buy mega weapon upgrades. In ratchet and clank 2 you could use the special bolt of the game which was platinum bolts to make upgrades to your weapon. (Lock on mod, Bigger blast, etc) but after RAC 2 they made the special bolts of the game so useless. In RAC 3,Crack in time and tools you can only use the special bolts for skins.In the recent games they are starting to fix the special bolts uselessness though. In Into the Nexus you need gold bolts to buy Omega weapons and in the RAC PS4 you could use it to unlock cheats.
@@tyrantcynicalgaming omega weapons in nexus are like gold weapons. You need money and gold bolts to buy them. But thanks to you, now i wanna play nexus again.
Yeah instead we get dumbass skins in later games LMAO
@@RCLombax probably like the blue weapons
Great video! One little thing is the 'Please Stop', 'Not Nice', Getting Angry' and 'Payback Time' messages are used in game on Todano as menu descriptions for the helpdesk messages you get if you keep killing the tourists as they're getting off the bus. Just thought I'd say in case no one else had, and because I remember I had a lot of fun when I discovered you could do that lol
There is still dialogue in game that reference that cut level.
I don't remember exactly and word by word the cutscene but when Ratchet reaches to Angelia in her "place" after killing all the Proto-pets.
From what I remember they talk about inflating the MegaCorp place and that maybe only one of their ships would probably pass the defenses or something like that.
I don't remember it exactly so if someone can correct me and explain it better that'll be welcomed.
She says the orbital defences are nasty, so with two ships there's a good chance at least one of them will get through.
(Ratchet: Just. Be. Careful. - Angela who trips: Right.)
Inflating 😭😭😭
Really is a shame that we didn't get the extended lines and Space combat before Yeedil - i'd have loved that to be in the game
I knew there had to be a cut section preceeding Yeedil. This video confirms it.
The fire from the Flame Boots looks like hot Cheeto dust.
It's a shame we never got the final space battle with the orbital defences considering it's referenced in the game and all
Interrupting Pigeon yea that's true, wish never cut these op weapons either, it's the last game that u can actually beat it with just the wrench and default weapons
Thanks so much for these videos man, you put so much content into them. I gotta say so sincerely that I'm so fucking glad that those attack ships on Grelbin don't exist... if they attacked alongside the yetis and the leviathans it would've been total hell, especially for getting all the moonstones. Also all that unused helpdesk audio at the end was kinda sounding like a creepy propaganda ad lmao
At 12:47, I've heard it on time in french version of the game (it was also translated in french version by the french voice), without understanding where it come from. Just between the loading screen and the ship landing on Yeedil. I never heard it again after...
13:06 tentacle beast is in the insomniac games museum and thugs 4 less battle sphere still exists in pal version of the game
13:30 Platinum weapons, vendors and upgrade would be the same thing of r&c 1 with gold weapons it would be cliche
The Battle Sphere refers to the Jamming Array orbiting Maktar Nebula. That's where that shortcut leads in the final game, even on the American version.
21:31 was she about to laugh?
Great video as always. This is probably your best one yet.
8:40
"TEAMWORK:
Together, we can find someone else to blame..."
Just perfect! xD
Awesome! There's so much research put into these videos. Thank you.
Great video man! Really interesting to watch, and i can see you've put a lot of work into it. Keep it up!
the song that was cut would've fitted perfectly on the final planet.
fantastic video.
love this channel.
20:15 - 20:23 I get both of those ones in game all the time.
An awesome and interesting vídeo! ;)
I never imagined the splines being that complex! Very impressive to think that there aren't any real 'paths' for objects to take so instead, the developers painstakingly changed the values for each movement.
Just found your channel, awesome video. Subscribed
I love the smarmy chipper sales talk of the help desk lady.
Subbed man!
Ayyy!! 15:00 that is the trailer music!
I love cut content videos!
5:40 Some of the dialogue clearly got cut so just to account for players that didn't get Clank, but they forgot that the Thug 4 Less leader still talks like there are two people even though there's only Ratchet. Always thought this was odd so it's cool to see it finally cleared up
Hey there! Have you ever tried analyzing the PAL version of the PS2 game to see if it is possible to find the subtitles in that version? On PSVita, there are fully working subtitles, but it's basically impossible to record from it.
9:25 Early memes!
No wonder the glove of doom and unused glove were cut, those weapons look OP as heck
19:35 those enemies Are actually in the game ..well at least for me
btw nice video
Yes! Another cut content video!
i must say i'm quite sad that the attack ship was cut, that thing looks really cool and would of added a nice bit of variety to Greblin. The weapons too, that laser mine launcher looks like a loot of fun, not sure about the fire boots, looks like it could be boarderling broken OP against melee only units, still fun though.
I'm trying to complete R&C Size Matters on the PS2 for the first time (recently got the game).
Size Matters is a hard game to find for the PS2 (personally. I saw many many PSP versions).
Could you do a comparison on the PSP and PS2 version if possible in the future?
Thanks for reading :)
I didn't even know it came out for the PS2.
Wow. You just blew my mind.
The Trust imo the PS2 version is pretty bad compared to the PSP version; the camera is way too close on PS2
+Bodo bin Baas Agree, and it lacks checkpoints in some maps
Size matters is a easy and fast game. The only thing that is hard about it is the races because of the shitty ass controls at least on the ps2. (The race controls are probably bad on the psp too)
The Trust Hey! To be honest yea, i played both versions, and, nothing really changes, except some upgraded textures, High Impact were lazy to make a ps2 version so they just ported the PSP one to make it run on the ps2, i might be wrong, but i cant see any difference
"Please stop."
"Not nice."
"Getting angry."
"Payback time."
This text was actually featured in the game. If you smack the tourists on Todano long enough, these message boxes appear on the help menu.
lmao really, that's awesome. I wonder if there's a video of it anywhere
I could upload a video.
is there any version at all that plays the cut todano song? it never played on the NTFS version either
*THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING!*
I have a question what about the PS4 version of Ratchet & Clank was there any cut content in that game if there was can you show me please cuz I would really love to know since I already completed the game 100% but I would really love to know if there was any cut content
Nice job!
There are more two leftovers on the demo: The Morph-o-ray (you can equip it) and the Suck Cannon (maybe it's model is missing because when you try to equip it the game crashes).
"Thank you for you purchase!"
+ImJustATester Ooohh yeah! I totally forgot the MorphORay was in the demo! I made a video on it almost 2 years ago, but never uploaded it!
then upload it
Noooo
RC Lombax why?
YEAH PLZ
Love the deadlocked soundtrack
5:18 Hasno
i finished r&c gc without Clank! i did it with the wrench glitch on the walls and the game didn't crashed! the animations with Clank worked correctly and the Clank levels too it was rlly funny!
Could you make a list of what demos are accessible within certain games? like Ratchet and Clank up your arsenal having a demo for Sly cooper 2 band of thieves.
I wonder if there also cut contents for the tools of destruction
How do you get access to all of the weapons and music?? I'd actually like to have those fire boots and laser mines, and also the bugged music that never we never get to listen. Maybe you can debug it somehow??
Maybe I’m missing something from your other videos but what about the old Oozla Megacorp store music from the Going Commando: Αlpha?
Nice video, i wish there was a beta of this game online tho, its my favourite in the trilogy, i couldnt be more happy if one day there will be one
+Skrill Dude Well we got close, but not close enough
RC Lombax Yea xD
There IS one! MORE than one actually!
I love , R&C games and Crash Twinsanity
As far as I can remember, the song plays in my game everytime (pal version, platinum edition) and the enemies appear also, maybe there are some things that were fixed in later copies that were sold.
I have the NTSC Greatest Hits version, Armory Interior doesn't play.
Maybe i'm mandella-ing here, but I'm pretty sure all those enemies from monsterpedia do exist in-game; the giant mech is the one from the clank fight; the troopers are in Megacorp HQ, and the ships fly around in the Thugs-4-Less homeworld, although i assume they were treated like props and not enemies.
Awesome video! If only they didn't cut the laser mine glove, it looks so cool.
By the way, these texts (at 13:27): Please stop, not nice, getting angry and payback time, were actually used in the final game, on Todano specifically.
That song that didn't make it is real good
how do you get the acces to demos tho?
how did you obtain this beta version of ratchet and clank 2?
This great!
Did u make a pentagram with the laser mines?
Interesting video. How would one go about finding these betas and playing them?
P.S.: The Todano Armory unused song is purely epic
Is the music for the video an unused track as well? Or did I just overlook this in the game?
Do you know any ways in cheat engine to give yourself the flame boots or the mine launcher gun in the September 4th build of RaC2? I really wanna play around with the weapons alongside the native debug build but have no clue what values I gotta look for to get them.
Not sure if there’s any actual pnach cheats for them either, that works on the Sept 4th beta anyway.
Ok I found the address for the Mine Launcher finally, but how can I add it to my quick select through CE?
Starting to think the Hyperion respawner voice in bonderlands 1&2 was inspired by the helpdesk girl
Holy shit you've really stepped up your quality since your last video!
+Foas Hell yeah I have! I'm pretty happy with this one... what to do next...
rac1 cut content?
Foas ;)
+RC Lombax
I got a question, is it possible for you to datamine and expose the inner secrets of the PS3 era Ratchet games?
Mainly TOD and QFB?
the cut content stuff, not the mods... :D
Great vids btw.
It's completely possible, We just don't have the tools and the same knowledge as we have with the PS2 games yet, There's definetly more future mods coming in the near future though.
A shame that song didn't get used.. :/
Yay, more Cut Contents!
The graphic acually looks very sexy
Beta Tester Thanks beta
Cool
yay your back remember legit glitching? thats me
Is the music a cut theme?
Moar Ratchet and Clank. Yay!
Hell yeah!
How did you manage to get all of this? Can you extract the .wad audio files? I'd really like to try this myself
I'm pretty sure we got this build a few years ago off of somebody who was nice enough to share it with us after holding onto it for years. I no longer have the ISO on my PC but I know it is available online (as well as a few other Ratchet & Clank builds) with a little bit of searching.
As for the audio files, I'm pretty sure I used an old program called 'PSound' that reads files for playstation audio files, you can drop the wads or the whole ISO into it.
Wait so there is a song on the NTSC version i never heard? Damn, really? I grew up on PAL but i played both :O
2:32 Werent they in A crack in time?
Planet Dobbo looks better in the demo version haha
Why did the game had fire boots before lol I wonder what do you use it for ?
Hmm, the fire boots use the same flames as the blargian snagglebeast.
The maktar nebula soundtrack is different in this
Laser mine look like Teslaclas from crack in time
hells yea
Why in my copy of this game does Ratchet have pain and grunt sounds personally done by James Arnold Taylor instead of them recycling the first like the rest?
In the Greatest Hits Version they fucked up and used James voice instead. Its awful and goofy. Thank God they kept Mikeys grunts in the rest.
I wonder why the fire boot weren't never well UNLOCKED (also the laser mines) i mean it has the code and everything just it's not present without hacking. I mean it also doesn't appear in the insomniac museum so something is telling me they don't show everything that was cut or make up fake cuts idk
Do a video on cut content from secret agent clank
what codes did you use and is it action replay, code breaker , or gameshark?
I did this on a PC with Cheat Engine
do you think its possible to change where splines are at, if so, i'd like to see if the taxi would give me a small trip around the outside of levels, kinda like an out of bounds trip, overall good video.
Late reply...
I know there are a few level editors out now for the original trilogy for both PS2 and PS3 versions. It's been a while since I checked last but there may be spline editing capabilities now!
@@RCLombax Awesome, thanks
I remember hearing that song. But I have the US version, not pal.
I have a feeling like ive already heard the song on 17:00. Are you sure its not in atleast some released versions?
It 'might' be... I've never heard it in other versions though...
To be honest it reminds me of Ratchet and Clank 3, in multiplayer, but that's just me.
I think it played on some trailer for r&c2
the morph o ray is unused to
17:48
0:39 Somebody from Sonic Team was here.
Dude I was thinking the exact same thing
Fire Boots are pretty much Flameslingers second power from Skylanders
8:25 WTF!!! ahahahahaahahahahah
So uhhh..... You gonna subscribe or what?
Oh, and leave any video suggestions here
I received 100$ from a tournament i could cut you in on the payment of like 20 or so?!
Beta Tester I'll see, it depends on what the "Other Guy" is doing
Ahh, of course
My suggestion that you make a cut content for all the Ratchet games. Maybe not the Ps4 as that might be a little difficult
cool
Do you have the debug build of r&c 2 I'd love to explore the map in free cam.
cra0kalo Nope, we found a guy who has one but refuses to talk to us :/
+Foas Thx for replying to half of these comments for me :p
dam I cracked open the game executable .ELF file and inside u can see various string references might be interesting for you to take a look at RC Lombax puu.sh/x3CRF.png
Yeah, these are all references to the debug menu, we're sure the menu functions are there, but the actual menu is gone :/
Did anyone else read laser mines as loser mines?
I beat every ratchet clank game i had cept ps4 remake one more to go
lots of cut battlefeild control weapons, I see.
