Can anyone tell me why this game is considered the best in the series?

>THAT FUCKING BOSS BATTLE. YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
I mean, it's not a bad game, not at all, it's very good, but I would still play the original over this. And that game didn't even strafing.
I thought Up Your Arsenal was considered the best
It's admired for how many gameplay changes happened between rnc and GC
Sure UYA is better but it'll be viewed as how well insomniac really revolutionized the gameplay and slowly improved upon it in later games.
>>336025804
>>336025931
I prefer deadlocked honestly
>>336026023
this tbqh
>>336026023
Gotta love how much insomniac told everyone they hated the angry ratchet design from the 1st one and yet deadlocked exists
I guess angry ratchet =\= edgy ratchet
>>336025804
you could strafe with the hover feature in the first one
>>336026008
This, the addition of strafing alone made GC an extreme improvement over 1. It pretty much set the standard for all of its sequels.
Going Commando was a massive improvement from the first game, and everyone liked the new weapons. Levels design was fine and the new areas looked nice.
UYA is objectively the best, but I hate the orange UI.
>>336025804
I think UYA is the best one personally.
I wonder if Insomniac is gonna reboot all the ps2 games
>Deadlocked with the engine of the new RnC games
Sign me the fuck up.
>Mocking Fox with Vox and getting away with it again.
>>336026354
I never played Deadlocked. I don't own a PS2 anymore.
Should I buy the PS3 port?
>>336026614
You're better off finding the ps2 copy and ps2,the ps3 pack wasn't done correctly
>>336026739
alright then. thanks.
which game has the cutest ratchet design
>>336025804
>worse level design than the orginal
subjective
>unbalanced weapons
in a single player game = fun
>shitty flying sections
i find the controls better than SF Zero's, and the gameplay isn't meant to be godlike. it's a mini game.
>if you don't buy the overpriced armor, you'll get absolutely raped in the later levels
I beat the whole game in tier 2 armor. If you're a shitter you can use the shield charger.
>THAT FUCKING BOSS BATTLE. YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
No, I really don't, but even negative attention is attention, right, not-Sony contracted shill?
>More than 1 Ratchet thread up on /v/ at any given time since the movie promotions started appearing
How's working the weekends?
>>336027338
>No, I really don't
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the giant robo dude battle.
>>336026614
It's fun, however it's nothing like the others. I went to it straight after UYA and hated it, but I liked it after a while. >>336026739 is completely right also.
While Deadlock isn't viewed as the best game
Definitely one of the best spinoffs created of all time
A perfect example of how spinoffs should be made.
>>336025931
It always comes down to these two.
They are my favorite two so I don't mind.
>>336028034
I think deadlock was an experiment to see how high they could crank up the difficulty and firefights because the games after that have been slightly harder than the previous with ItN and RnC boot getting even harder.
>>336027338
>subjective
I guess.
>unbalanced weapons
I guess that's okay too.
>i find the controls better than SF Zero's, and the gameplay isn't meant to be godlike. it's a mini game.
That is where I call bullshit. It's not a minigame, you HAVE to beat those levels to progress the story. It's literally just get shot, wait until the enemy flies right into your fire range and kill them. And you do this 20 times per level. It just fucking sucks man. At lease Star Fox Zero had alright level design.
>No, I really don't, but even negative attention is attention, right, not-Sony contracted shill?
are you serious dude
>More than 1 Ratchet thread up on /v/ at any given time since the movie promotions started appearing
I bought the original trilogy on PSN, played the WHOLE Future series and played fucking Size Matters and enjoyed it. I love Ratchet and Clank, man. Fuck off with your console wars shit.
>>336027338
>in a single player game = fun
What
>>336028367
this
> Worse level design than 1
Really? I consider 1&2's level design to be more or less equal. Both have at least 2 paths on all bar 1-2 planets, both generally loop back around, both had a good balance of combat and platfroming/puzzles (but 2 made combat much better). 1 probably had more memorable levels, but that's just virtue of being the first, 2 had tons of great ones as well.
> Unbalanced weapons
I'll take "useless after a point in the game" over "useless 100% of the game by virtue of being useless from a design, not stat perspective". 1 had so many weapons no-one used, ever (every time I replay it I'm shocked to find the Drone Device is a thing because I forget it exists every time). Insomniac made sure to make everything mechanically viable, and encouraged upgrading and buying new stuff. It wasn't perfectly balanced, but by End-game "Ultra" weapons were all balanced again, some weapons just had a bout of uselessness mid-late game on first playthrough.
> Shitty flying sections
Best flying sections in the series. I loved these things.
> If you don't buy armour you die easy
WOOOOOOOOOW! Armour isn't done right in any of the Insomniac games, Size Matters had it perfect. But it's not that big of a deal and certainly not unique to GC, unless you mean to say 1 or Deaslocke are your favourite.
> That boss
What's wrong with it? I beat it without using the turrets as a kid because it was such a cool fight wasted on easy-mode turret bullshit. I fought that mech with my weapons and it was intense. Nothing wrong with the fight.
Going Commsndo's only issues are the Final boss was super lame, the Ice Planet made by one guy in a few days and the story kinda drags in some places.
It's definetly my favourite, it fixed the gameplay issues of the first, introduced almost all the mechanics that became series trademarks (Collectathon planets, arena's, optional extra races/fights for money, weapon and health leveling etc....). All while keeping the special charm and atmosphere.
>>336028847
I think what he's trying to say is, if you already completed the game and play NG+, it's fun to just fuck around with overpowered weapons. And while I agree, it does get boring very quick.
>>336025804
>unbalanced weapons
They're actually balanced pretty good in challenge mode
>>336026182
>UYA is objectively the best
Going Commando and A Crack in Time are objectively better.
>>336028932
The boss is still slow as fuck.

Also, "best flying sections in the series"? I'm not trying to be a dick in any way, but ACiT had much better flying sections than this one. In my opinion anyway.

I hated the psp controls so I never had a chance to finish it.
I'll give it a look again
>>336029374
Oh, trust me, I absolutely DESPISED those things. (Especially Visi-Bomb Maratho-I mean Veldin 2. Seriously, what the fuck?) But the good levels like Kerwan, Pokitaru and Rilgar make up for it.
>>336029449

Played it on PPSSPP not to long ago, I just set the strafe to the analog stick only when I'm holding a weapon instead of switching back to d-pad then analog.

Let's be honest here
Everyone prefers UYA over GC just because you can get the plasma coil and the bouncer which are objectively the best weapons from GC
>>336029726
>Playstation Move Heroes
dear god dont remind me
>>336029874
im up to Veldin 2 right now, and i just cant fucking get through it with the piss poor 5 health slots.
i should have gotten the health upgrade instead of the tesla claw....
What the fuck, man, i thought these games were so easy as a kid, why am i having trouble now
>>336030157
I still prefer GC. UYA strayed too far from actual platforming for my tastes and some weapons I just never used (plasma coil, infector)
Never played this series but kinda got interest in the Vita collection. What is their average length and how is the replay value?
Damn I feel old.
The generation who grew up thinking Ratchet and Clank was actually good post on /v/ now.
>best in series
That title belongs to A Crack in Time
>>336030341
1. Don't get the Vita collection.
2. Around 10-15 hours each, plus Challenge Mode.
>>336030368
And you probably don't play video games anymore because everything must be shit.
>>336030368

Trust me. Just use the Visi-Bomb. Don't use anything other than the Visi-Bomb.
>>336030341
Playing them on an original PS2 is the only way to go. They didn't port well, and they don't emulate well.
3 > 2 > 1
Only played the ps2 trilogy and none of the ps3 games.
>>336030623
The PS3 Future series is pretty good imo. Even the short ones like Quest for Booty and Into the Nexus are quite fun
>>336030515
Nothings better than a hidden bottle of vodka and vidya gaems anon
>>336030341
The Vita ports aren't great, the performance is pretty disappointing compared to PS3 or even PS2. That said, it's far superior to e.g. the Jak collection, still playable.
I'd recommend getting it on either of those platforms.
They last each around 10 hours, but starting with 2 there's a lot of replay value thanks to new game+.
You guys think RnC will die out like other long franchises, or did the movie and new game breathe air back into the series.
>>336029437
Crack in Time had cool space exploration, seamlessly landing on moons and stuff, but the combat was really lackluster.
It was also on a 2D plane, so it was more like boat combat with a space background than actual space dog fights. GC gave you a large 3D space to work with and you could end up fighting at any angle, like actual space.
ACiT style exploration with GC flying would be cool, but probably end up really disorientating and frustrating for the player.
>tfw probably the only person who thinks Tools of Destruction is the best game in the series
>>336030878
The remake is one of the best selling games in the franchise, reportedly. At worst there won't be any more movies, which isn't a bad thing.
>>336030583i dont have enough bolts to buy it

>>336031045
It feels kinda dead to me. What do you like most about it?
>>336030878
Movie apperently sucks and will likely flop.
Game is selling faster than any previous Ratchet title, so hopefully this means we get more (properly budgeted) Ratchet games and more lighthearted 3D playformers in general.
>>336031140
literally what the fuck
also,
>he didn't get the Visi-Bomb
I'm so sorry
>>336030583
I 100%ed the game (all skill points and gold bolts) today and Visi bomb is not needed except for the dropships. Devestator is much more effective at killing the crowds of Elite Troopers.
>>336030487
>>336030614
>>336030826

Good. His segments are always ass.
>>336031340
Sister was a bully.

>tfw she's 24 now and buy's me booze because im poor.
Does it take those fucking dropshits out in one hit?
i have to limit my rocket launcher fire to 4 per dropship and 2 per tank, then using the tesla claw for all the fucking shitcunt blargian spec ops.
Think i should go back to another planet to hunt for the 10k bolts for the visibomb?
>>336031676
His only good segments were ACIT and GC
>>336031656
The Ratchet games are some of the worst emulated.
You must use software mode, which requires an extremely powerful CPU and ends up being no better than playing on a PS2.
Hardware mode has broken textures everywhere.
>>336031530
Forgot to mention...
If you don't buy anything but the Blaster, Pyro and Devestator (skip all the other weapons and health upgrades) you can basically afford the RYNO before the final level, which is the most satisfying thing to do.
>>336025804

>>336031838
holy fuck.
thank fuck i found the scratched up ps2 disks under my bed
>>336028818
>literally just get shot
You know you have these great things called items that make those sections easier. Mines in particular are great for taking out ships tailing you, and you can beat even the hardest levels without taking more than maybe 3 hits if your good
It's fine if you don't like them, but don't tell me they were bad
>>336032146
it's not.
fuck it's even called Gladiator in Aus.
the humor in it was top notch though, but the same cant be said for the reboot.
>>336031771
I think it get's destroyed in 2 hits. And yeah, grind some bolts and get the Visi-Bomb.
You don't have to use that much like
>>336031530 said, but still. It's very useful.
Agree with the unbalanced weapons, some of them get completely useless later in the game unless you shoot out half of their ammo.
Also, what's up with the shitty health bar? You still die in 4 or so hits most of the time, was it really necessary to change it?
>>336031838
Holy shit, that looks absolutely awful. Why does it look like that?
>>336032268
I never bothered with the upgrades. I didn't want to waste my bolts on them.
I am honestly worried for the series' future
I want to see the lombaxes, I want another villain that's not nefarious. If they have to keep making reboots so a sequel can be well though out I'd be okay.
Was making the story being more serious in the future series a good or bad thing for the series?
>>336031530
>>336031915
>>336032440
Thanks mate's.
there was some guns i skipped getting and stuff got and used probably once (Decoy for Orxon crab beast things.)
would have thought Visi bomb would fall into that category.
>>336032525
Custom mipmaps.
Basically Ratchet and Clank is one of the few games that took advantage of a feature of the PS2's GPU that few other developers used because of tight memory constraints (4MB of VRAM). It makes things run significantly faster and stops "shimmering" textures at low resolutions though.
When PCSX2 was designed, so few games utilized the feature that it made things a lot simpler and faster to ignore it. Now their graphics driver is so titanic that adding the feature at this stage would require a major rewrite.
You know, i remember clocking at least the first 2 games in the same day as a kid.
like 4 hours each.
i also remember waking up at 10, starting UYA for the 50th time and finishing it by 2.
are the games as short as im remembering or was childhood me some sort of autist speed runner
>>336033227
I swear I got through Challenge mode like 20 times.
After that you can beat it in just a couple hours.
>>336033061
>so few devs actually made use of the ps2's GPU features that PCSX2 ignored it.
makes me sad Tbh pham
>>336032747
It was a good thing, cause its better to have reached the apex and then fall down than never to have reached it at all.
Lets face it, Ratchet ain't getting better that Crack in time ever, so lets remember the games that lead up to it instead of those after it.
>>336033409
It's also the reason Ace Combat has fucked up ground textures.
The problem with emulators is that people want them to work today, and not on computers 10 years in the future. They also generally only care about popular games. So they design emulators around speedhacks and you end up with clusterfucks like N64 emulation.
>>336025804
Going from R&C1 to R&C2 is literally one of the most dramatic original-to-sequel improvements in the history of video games. Only other thing that comes close is Assassin's Creed.

What exactly was edgy? I've beaten that game three times, and nothing ever struck me as edgy. I don't even think he got as angry as he did in the first two games.
i think the core gameplay, weapons and movement are much better than in the first game, and i had a lot of fun in the arena modes, flying sections and racing sections. i also really enjoyed being able to level up weapons
i did not enjoy the third game as much, because it felt like the focus went from being an action-platformer to more of a straight third-person-shooter and those aren't really my thing. the second strikes the best balance
just my two cents. last i played of these games was literally when they came out
>>336033868
It's good, but I always remember it as being really fucking long and hard to play in one go
I think ToD's problem was Tachyion was shaping to be a real menace to the lombaxes and he gets defeated in one game.
>>336034617
he was also not Dr Nefariouswhy do they keep reusing him anyway?
should have just let him die with his cameo at the end of Deadlocked

Can't really say anything about the level designs from a mechanical standpoint but from an artistic view a lot of them were fucking concept art tier & some of the best in the series - Endako, Feltzin, Siberius, Todano, Boldan, Gorn, the list goes on (although they chose forgettable names; had to look most of them up)

I thought that at first but playing the HD collection they're actually brilliant. Wish they'd bring em back

Pfft. The only time I buy ANY armour on R&C is for the final skill point/trophy after 100%ing the rest of the game. The games actually get EASIER as you go through - you get more HP & better weapons. Glass cannon gamplay is fun
>THAT FUCKING BOSS BATTLE. YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
Agreed, although it gets piss easy on challenge mode because they don't scale his HP at all

>>336029449

Piss off. They may not have been good R&C weapons but it Deadlocked had some of the best gunplay in the series & the overall most enjoyable weapon selection (minus the B6 Obliterator - that thing sucked)

I think the orchestral stuff will be exclusive to the Future series. It was supposed to be a more serious, movie-like series.
This reboot did contain a few tracks that were very reminiscent of the older PS2 games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTMlSE8q6lo
>>336035825
pretty much every starting weapons as well as every incarnation of the blaster, and every weapon that isn't close to the game's RYNO variant in challenge mode as much as i love this series they suck dick when it comes to weapon balance in the latest one the combuster can be upgraded to shoot TEN shots per round but because enemies are bullet sponges it still sucks , even if you use for small enemies the sheepinator can do its job infinitely better
>tfw my favorite gun is the lancer and N90 Hurricane but they suck so much dick i never use them
seriously why the fuck can't they make a LMG that doesn't shoot plastic bullets

>>336026123
He wasn't edgy in the first game, he was just a selfish asshole at first.
>>336037763
He's as good as dead at this point, since they probably won't do anything with the Dimensionator again, and was nowhere near as charismatic as Nefarious to be worth bringing back anyways.

The bomb glove is probably one of the best grenade launcher type weapons just because it has so much ammo also the gold version has a huge blast radius

Two things will happen. Either the series dies with the movie or we just get movie games and the original series dies.

It's actually easier on the second playthrough because none of the enemies of bosses get stronger and you can get gold weapons

>>336030878
It's currently the fastest selling R&C game so if they were using this as a way to gauge interest on whether or not they should continue making more Ratchet games; they probably will.
Honestly I kind of hope they just take a break from this series. It's great but they've been putting out so many games since the original debutedthat and I fucking hate neo-Insomniac. Michael Bross, TJ Fixman and whoever was the retard at IG saying that 60FPS doesn't matter anymore need to fuck off
I feel like they really should have just stopped at CiT.
>>336031771
Go to Rilgar and turn on the hologuise before speaking to the racing girl. You'll be able to walk on the track and break crates which respawn instantly the moment they get off screen. If you have the taunter you can use that to break crates off screen and since they respawn instantly you'll just keep on breaking them and getting bolts. Try doing it under that elevated platform with the wall of crates on it, during a race you normally jump through it.
>>336040040
We did? I thought they were the same thing
>>336038810
The meteor gun was such a disappointing way to finish off the based lava gun's upgrade cycle. I'm glad they replaced it with the liquid nitrogen gun in UYA.
That thing was superb.
>>336040115
The remake is the last game Fixman is involved with, and Bross' OST for the remake is pretty decent.

In the remake it's alright; but overall I feel like his work is painfully mediocre and nothing ever stands out.
I guess it gets the job done but it's nowhere near as good as David Bergeaud or even Boris Salchow

The aesthetic design of the games shifted so much from a more offbeat, quirky, rounded alien universe to one full of sleek, futuristic ships and bases

What the hell was the purpose of the crotchitizer anyway?
>>336040995
I prefer this style than the one in 2.
I'm playing this after years since i played it as child
I remember desperately trying to beat the impossible challenge at the arena, it took me over 10 tries at least, gruelingly trying to defend myself in the last few stages
Now I completed it on second try, wew lad. wasnt even hard.
same with rachet and clank 1, i defeated chairman drek on the third try, and not because the combat was hard but because i fucked up the slingshot jumps and fell to the abyss.
>>336040881
That was a fucking gauntlet.
>>336041116
Ah, yeah. You get Raritarium in that desert, right? I really enjoyed that part.
>>336041240
The worst part was if you lost all your lives you went right back to the start of the ship level and that was no picnic
>>336040573
2's OST always reminds me of robocop for some reason.
is it because Ratchet is a wannabe Corporate Commando in it and the music reflects this?
or am i just sleep deprived and looking to far into it.
we'll never know.
>>336041147
my guess?

MMMMM
FRESH MEAT FOR MYCOCK
>>336041147
It crotchitizes.
>>336041258
You got it from the desert and from destroying enemy ships
I liked how in UYA as you upgraded your weapons they'd get parts added and things added to their behaviors before the big V5 upgrade.
Like the N60, the game's blaster, for example. One level it might get a scope on top, next a guard for Ratchet's fingers in front of the handle. And the shots would change to, at first they're just shots, then they bounce from enemy to enemy, then they shock enemies, etc.
It was a little touch but it really helped you feel like you were getting more powerful as you leveled up weapons. Wish they would do something like that again but I know they won't because it'd require making more than two models per weapon.
>>336025804
Better story, you actually feel like uncovering a mystery. The last game where you do not feel completely OP after upgrading everything.
>>336027237

Yeah I wish they would have put it in later games and not just going commando
>>336040765
>>336040995
I like to think Megacorp and the Bogon Galaxy in general just has a different way of thinking when it comes to robot design and aesthetics than the Gadgetron/Solana Galaxy mindset.
What's your favourite boss in the series?
For me, it's definitely Doctor Nefarious. His moves were pretty unique and cool for a RNC boss fight, and it just felt satisfying to shoot the Bouncer right in his fucking robot face.We don't talk about the Biobliterator. What a disappointment.

ToD hyped up the entire Cragmite race as a huge threat, being the reason the Lombaxes are gone helped with that, but then they take care of them in just one game. There aren't even any Cragmites just hanging around in the games afterwards.

They looked like they could be in the background of an episode of Lost in Space, or any other scifi show like that at the time really, and not stand out.
Nah, 2 is definitely the best, it was my least favourite for ages then I went back and did the original trilogy back to back. Loved 1 and 2 much more than I remembered, 3 was always my favourite and I came out of it severely disappointed. 2 had an excellent difficulty curve, some really neat level design (looking at you Silver City), a really sleek aesthetic for everything and introduced lots of neat shit that became constants in every game afterwards.
Plus that "ratchet and clank YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FROM angela YOU LUCKY DEVIL" line always cracks me up
>>336041183
The sheepinator, original or black doesn't matter, makes the Impossible Challenge a joke since it doesn't use ammo. So you're able to unload everything on the two bosses.

And repetition. What was good about the original OSTs was that they picked a good sounding snippet of music and used it lots of times. I know it's kind of cunty but there's too much variation in the news tracks to get them memorised.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMPsMETuaNc
For example, take the beat of Blackwater City. As an individual beat its pretty good but consider how it's repeated constantly as the core of the song. You will never forget that song because such a good beat was drilled in.
