Dissecting Ratchet & Clank 20 Years Later 

Ratchet 1 has a special place in my heart. I remember getting to Metropolis and being blown away. I think that was the first time I ever stopped in a game to admire the environment

For a first video this is very impressive. The original R&C still remains my favorite in the series, even with all its faults and rust accumulated over the years, I still find myself returning to 100% it every year.

R&C 1, even with all of it’s jank holds a special place in my heart. I remember being so blown away by the different planets and how they felt so real and lived in to my younger self.

The story and feel of Ratchet and Clank 1 simply can’t be beat. It is smaller in scope and personal enough to keep you caring. One of my favorites in the series by far. Congrats on your first video!

Good to note that R&C1 had better production value than most other Ratchets, the locales were rarely as good in the sequels. Still one of the best Ratchets to this day, nothing comes close after the PS2 trilogy.

One thing this game have it's that you can perfect your skills every time you play it again and again, it's more strategic than the sequels, tips like using the taunter to break crates or the visi bomb on the last section of levels are game changing. I have a soft spot for this beautiful game, it was the first game that made me stick to my PS2 for weeks.

Banger video dude, as a long time fan of RnC, you summed it up incredibly well and made it look awesome while doing it!

Ratchet and Clank is the first game that I played back when I was in kindergarten (5 yrs olds) and I still make time to play and finish the first 2 games each year so I wont forget how good it was

RAC 1 was my first game too, it’s still my favourite game to this day ❤

Mad respect for not using "the c word" in an analysis of the first ratchet and clank

I wish Ratchet Clank had more time to develop. They made a game that was ahead of its time in such a short amount of time and sometimes I wonder what the game could have been like if they had more time to make it

The quality is outstanding definitely deserves a sub can't wait to see whats next

Outstanding video dude. Summed one one of many (including myself) favourite games. I look forward for more to come!

I see this is your first video on RU-vid, I just wanna say keep it up man, I really enjoyed this! Anyway I agree with what you said, I think rac 1 is an awesome entry for this franchise and still my favourite rac in terms of nostalgia, it's the one I will always be willing to go back to at any time.

This was a good video, liked and subscribed. I just recently got this game going on PS2 emulator, and playing it for first time in years with upscaled resolution has been a real joy

14:58 I've played this game ever since it came out and I never noticed before that Veldin is shown overhead before you enter the ship again. This game and video is a masterpiece

Amazing video for a new channel! Contratulation, keep up with the hard work

One of the best game series I've ever played ♥️

BOTH THIS VIDEO ANS CHANNEL ARE SO UNDERRATED OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS

excellent video. The algorithm delivered today. I love this game and especially its sequel. Your break down of this game reminded my why it is in my top ten games of all times. Thanks for a great video :D Time to go and play all of the ps2 R&C games again.

Wow man great video really And ofc happy 20th aniversary

Excellent video man! This is the kind that deserves to blow up.

Absolutely fantastic first video my friend. I first played going commando in ‘03 and was hooked ever since. Glad to hear people still love this series

Extremely good for a first video Keep up the great work👍

Subscribed, please do 2 and 3 next

Amazing game, amazing video. Thanks dude, great work

There are definitely weapons I never use. The Drone Device, the Decoy Glove and the Taunter spring to mind.

Yooo for your first video this was great! I loved watching it, keep it up.

Great video! Looking forward to more from you

Fantastic video man! Would love to see you continue this style of video with the other R&C games. Definitely earned a subscriber for this.

Honestly the first one is my favorite. Played it the most out of the first three growing up. Definitely one of my favorite games of all time. I absolutely love the gameplay, music, and writing. I don’t mind not being able to strafe although that was a welcomed addition. If strafing is needed you actually can by double tapping R1 and hover with the thruster pack. A lot slower then future games but I really grew to love the way it feels to control ratchet in the first game.

Love the way you describe how deliberate the progression in combat was. As much fun as the sequels can be with their upgraded weapons and health experience systems can be, the extra variables understandably make such a tight, defined pace not really possible. Really love that about this first one. Great video, boss

Also really great video!! loved it, would love to see one about GC or UYA.

Good stuff , man keep it up

The original quadrilogy on PS2, in my opinion, is still the peak of the series. I play these 4 games everyday due to speedrunning and at the moment ratchet 1 is probably my favorite of them. Can't wait to watch this, from the first few seconds I can tell it'll be a wild ride.

nice video gabby. It was really well done

Love this vid bro, do R&C 2-3 next.. also background music of r&c planet levels on low volume while u talk sounds good🔥

I remember playing ratchet & clank and I got stuck on the hoverboard race on blackwater city!

loved it, good vid

Much love ❤️

Incredible first video, I wish you the best of luck and hope you go far, you definitely got my sub.

Amazing video. I look forward to your future content. It looks bright

Good video. Ratchet and Clank is one of my favorite video games and it was interesting to hear your thoughts on it. 20 years ago. Puts life into perspective. Time sure flies. Also considering this is your first video you knocked it out of the park with good voice quality and nice writing and pacing.

This game embodies to me everything a game should be: Creative ideas Set motifs Matched aesthetic through music Memorable characters Clever writing Unforgettable design And even a technological marvel Ran at 60fps on the ps2 in 2002! (Wow!) This was the first game I ever laid eyes on And it pleases me to no end that people still find it enjoyable by making neat vids about it!

They made Ratchet and Clank closely to the spyro year of the dragon which was a huge crunch sadly. You could see their early ideas on the movement etc. based on Agent Nine, you notice it even more in the reignited version.

I watched 1 min of this vid...... and I stopped so that I can cherish it later before I go to sleep cause I can tell its about to be a banger

I see this is your first video and you've already gained a lot of views and everything congratulations! Ratchet & clank has been one of my favorite series ever since I was a child watching this video has given me nostalgia.

This puzzle approach is so misunderstood but the biggest reason for me why this is still the best ratchet and clank game

I like that you talked about the Puzzle weapon gameplay, each new enemy has it's own weapon type, usually you can purchase the weapon for that enemy at the same planet you arrive at. On the newer ones, it doesn't matter what gun you use, you just spam ammunition at bullet sponges that all behave mostly the same, as they even reuse the same old enemies on each level.

great video bro

I love how good this game aged mechanically, as you said, there is nothing like it, not even within it's own franchise, I may be alone on this but the heavier movement felt great, because being able to strafe was convenient in later titles but it trivialized most of the combat difficulty when most enemy proyectiles are so slow anyways. The more I age the more I appreciate the very first R&C game over the others, is even sad the themes this game used to criticize like consumerism and avarice are celebrated by the latest R&C titles.

>says that the music for the more dangerous levels is less catchy and more intimidating >proceeds to play the most banging orchestral solo ever heard in a video game bruh really good video though :) will always keep this game in my heart.

Very Joseph Anderson-y Great work 🐲🔥💯

wow i watched the video and just noticed it only had 339 views... could be easily 2.000.000

I actually prefer the first 4 games to the newer games tbh! Also, great video! I subscribed! Very well made!

gemlik feels the most like a puzzle to me and such is my favorite planet

it is so good to see another person like me. the first game i played ever and i finished it nearly 100 times 0 regrets

Cool video.

Great video. I unfortunately haven’t played this game or many of the other Ratchet and Clank games because I grew up with the Shrexbox. Whenever I’d go to one of my friend’s house we’d usually play the Ratchet and Clank where you’re trapped on that one planet having Dr Nefarious, Quark, Ratchet, and Clank as playable characters (cannot remember the name because I’m bad with those). We’d also play Little Big Planet and it was so much fun. I’ve been watching to play the different games from the series and other classic PlayStation games, but I’m not about to buy a bunch of different consoles in order to play them and I don’t have a good computer to run emulators. I really hope that one day Sony puts their old games onto pc like what Xbox did with Halo (sadly Halo is in the dumpster right not. Luckily mods will be able to save it). Then they’d be preserved and readily available for people to enjoy. Good thing Sony has already ported some of their new games to pc. From what I hear the remake of this game was a mixed bag. People were saying that the gameplay was fun and used a lot of the improvements that came from later installments. But the story really took a nosedive. The videos about the game said it made a few weird changes to the story, the old style of humor was lost, and the charm/character of the original was gone. I saw the movie version because it was on Netflix and it was horrible. Luckily it was better than the “Halo” show, but that’s not really a accomplishment when you consider the fact that the bar is set so low that just about anything would be better. That would be like bragging that you’re better than WingsofRedemption or Chris Chan. The thing you said about knowing the game inside and out causing you to not notice a lot of the flaws because you know the work arounds is the same experience I have with Battle For Bikini Bottom. I’m aware of the various flaws, but I’ve played it so much when I was a kid that most of the time I know exactly what to do. Although, I didn’t know about people speed running the game until recently. Seriously look up BFBB speed running and you’ll be amazed at just how broken the game actually is. Good luck on whatever you make next. I’m sure those videos will be good.

Eyyy, Nice video. Born same year as R&C, second game after jak and daxter played, Favorite trilogy of all time. So excited to get them on PS4. Tired of emulating them with all those FPS drops.

Brilliant

Ratchet and clank series have been by far my favorite video game franchise... I've beat every one of them excep the ps5 game.

R&C 1 is honestly, till this day, the best of the series

I want a remake of the first game 😍

Best game in the entire franchise. Change my mind

Great stuff mate, any plans to cover other games like jak and Daxter or ratchet and clank 2?

Facts n' truths

Great video. Not sure if veldin was truly destitute or not, i see why youd say that, but the interim of UYA and the remake got me confused i guess

I just got a ps2 and bought all the rachet and clanks games and didnt even know it was 20 year olds

subscribed!

Still the best game with so many weapons

Everyone with taste can obviously see how the first game is the best.

While the sequels have better gameplay overall, the on thing Ratchet 1 has them all beat on is level design. I much prefer the multiple paths and semi-non-linear progression of the first game. There's something very rewarding about exploring the levels in that game which the sequels haven't been able to match imo

Still greatest game of all time

Nice! A crack in time was the first game I ever played! Are you planning to play the games on your channel?

Commenting for the algorithm

6:16 have you played the original Half Life? It is the only game that has given me a similar "combat as puzzle" vibe. Still a great experience that holds up today. Just don't play the source ported version! 😅

It’s just the best game next to quake II

1-4 are good. Then they cranked they silly dial WAY too high

Algorithm.

ratchet 1 was teh best of all time. my childhood, first playstation i have ever played

OH BOY YET ANOTHER RATCHET AND CLANK RETROSPECTIVE! I'VE NEVER SEEN THOSE BEFORE
