Ratchet & Clank (PS4) - Rapid Review

To coincide with the movie, Insomniac decided to completely remake the original Ratchet & Clank! Sounds pretty good to me.

Now if we could just get a Spyro the Dragon remake, that'd be pretty neat.

They got rid of the character development because people cried too much about it in the original. In the original, Ratchet was a hotheaded, do what I want, type of character who didn't really care about saving the world until a certain point in the game. And Ratchet and Clank would constantly but heads over this, making Clank the voice of reason. So now he's a boy scout who just wants to save the world. Also, the humor is completely toned down for the kids, music is forgettable, and runs at 30fps and not 60fps. Still a REALLY good game, but I preferred the original.

As someone that’s played the PS2 original as well as the other mainline games I can say that Ratchet & Clank (2016) has more in common with the Future series on PS3 than the PS2 trilogy. I mean Ratchet’s design is from Tools of Destruction, the Skill tree system and Raritanium is from that game as well as well as most of the PS4 game’s weapons, with the exception of the Pyrocitor and RYNO, which is also different in how you obtain it.

Luckily the sequel wont have to worry about a movie, so it can return to its rating of T and give the characters more development in the game.

Wish the game had legit skins is my biggest complaint; like, A Classic Ratchet skin would have made this perfect.

At the end...
so many bolts...
My mind melted when I saw that...
SO BEAUTIFUL.

You should do a video on Ratchet Deadlocked! I love that one!

[Janksi]

*does anyone else this guy should be on normal boots?

[minimalchill]

Hit the nail right on the head here man. I loooved this game...but yeah, them there character progressions are blaaand. Sadly, I felt the same way about the movie. The game at least developed Ratchet & Clank's friendship better than the movie. Not by much, but its at least there. Its practically nonexistent in the film. Or should I say...holo film?! Now thats a knee slapper!

Anyway, appreciate the review brother. Good stuff!

It's a good thing something good came out of the whole movie deal.

Now only if they remastered my favourite ratchet and clank: up your arsenal

[andreworders]

2:23 Probably since the story has to be the same as the original if it was crammed and cut into an 1 1/2 hour run time, and then had what was left stretched out again.

[Zinkolo]

Yes. I love the gameplay. The visuals are beautiful but can also be visually taxing sometimes since it's like watching a movie with a higher framerate. Despite me not liking the story I still loved the gameplay so much. It's exactly what it should be and it's just mindless shooting fun and all of the weapons are useful

[TheDraig]

You're throwing these rapid reviews very rapidly!

[normfrog]

I grew up on Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal

[hawawa]

great review! Hope to see the rest of the r and c games covered in the near future, as I think they're among your best

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

You don't know what remastering is, do you?

Also, agree on characters' interactions being too tame.

And there is too much in-game dialogue.

1: Holy Shit! 2 AntDude videos in 2 days.

2: April has become the battle of the animals, Star Fox Zero vs Rachet and Clank.

I noticed one thing.
When cutscenes play you get a message that you wont be able to save recordings. (The recordings you can create on the PS4) Strange, I think the cutscenes are straight rips from the movie and you arent allowed to save the move cause it aint out yet.
Just a speculation.

Bought it for 15 bucks. Loved Tools of Destruction the most. Especially for the enemy types. IT's boiling with creativity
