[TAS] Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal in  

FYI: This is a Tool-Assisted Speedrun of Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal's New Game + No Quit Exploit category, the real-time run leaderboard and ruleset for which can be found here: www.speedrun.com/rac3#NG_No_QE This means that tools (i.e. savestates, frame advancing, input recording) were used to record a playthrough of a game with the aim of creating a theoretically perfect speedrun. This run is also segmented (as the PCSX2 emulator desyncs on loads), meaning that levels are split up by loads and TASed individually. However, this run is still a contiguous series of segments that are recorded like an actual run: each segment directly succeeds the previous one, and ammo counts, weapon selections etc. are preserved between segments. There are some visual and audio bugs that are a result of the emulator, but aside from those, all things seen in this video (as far as the community is aware) can be done on a real console. Portions of the game audio (Blackwater City) were edited in order to not be ear destroying, and you can check the outtakes in the description for an explanation. Long loads have also been removed and replaced with normal loads, as per the community's ruleset for Ratchet & Clank 3. It's also worth noting that the timer in the video is counting in frames at the lowest level, not milliseconds.

One of the absolute best 3D game Tool-Assisted runs. Amazing job nano.

When your galaxy is in danger but you want to keep playing Chess with your tin can friend

I think you beat helgas record

Never thought speedrunning Ratchet and Clank was a thing. Played this game so much as a child and this run is so fascinating to me. Been looking through R&C speedruns for the last hour now because this video popped up in my recommended. Mad props, this is insane!

This is one of the most comedic TAS's out there, and incredibly impressive to watch aswell. Watching you snipe enemies before they even exist on blackwater city is so brutal.

This is just incredible, 4 years in the making and its finally here. this is a monumental effort and I can only say congratulations to the RAC TAS community, and the ratchet speedrunning community in general for years upon years of playing an early 2000s furry game at incredible hihg speed.

Me: Theres no way it was 20 minutes Me, 30 seconds later: *Screaming*

My mind is absolutely blown. As a young girl this game meant so much to me and the speedrunning community was small. I appreciate your contribution so so so so much and I thank you for such an entertaining and fulfilling video. This series is so close to my heart and to see it progress in the speedrunning community means the world to me. The amount of effort and hard work it takes to make a TAS speedrun is severely underappreciated by the masses. This game is tattooed on my little leg forever and I'm glad there's people like you keeping Ratchet and Clank in Legacy 🥰

7:25 Wait, that's illegal.

this may have no parallel universes, but i’m convinced Rachet can access a different state of reality with how he’s phasing through everything

Tough to express how happy I felt watching this. Thank you for making it a reality, and congratulations on finally getting it done. gg

I think we finally have an answer to the question of if science has gone too far, because goddamn, this is indistinguishable from devil magic and my mind is blown.

I liked the loading screens. They were slow enough for my brain

Awesome TAS Nano. I highly appreciate the fact that you thanked me at the end of the run. It's really awesome knowing that I had some contribution towards this TAS.

This is how I thought my older brother played the game

4:20 lmao the fuckin frame perfect quick scopes holy shit this is so awesome

Even better than I could have expected. Amazing job, Nano.

When your mom tells you, you only have 20 minutes left to play the game.

My jaw was dropped from the first 5 seconds until the end. Amazing!!

In which Dr. Nefarious has seemingly already won by turning the famous Lombax into a robot - yet did not account for his wrath of being interrupted in a chess game

i dont usually watch vids exceeding 10 minutes but this run amazed me since r&c3 is my childhood game thanks for being in my recommended

I am absolutely blown away in every respect. Not only is it fast as fricc but it ever little detail is so smooth and done with so much effort and attention to detail. I mean those Swag Strats on Marcadia were so unnecessary but so incredible. I'm actually reeling rn

I never knew someone like you existed, that could do such a god-like run like this! This is actually amazing to see and the speed is unbelievable, Good Job Nano!

This is phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. I can only imagine how tedious this would’ve been to plan out, bit by bit. Well done!! 💚

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!! Great job man, seriously incredible. -insou

Truly a work of art. Hoping for more Rac TAS's in the future.

The sickest speedrun to date, in my opinion! You worked long and hard for this final product, and I've been here since I remember a RAC3 TAS was being announced; I've watched all of your TAS clips, and it was so worth the hype!! Keep up the good work, cadet!👍🏻Captain TAS is more like it.😉👉

Dr Nefarious didnt knew he was fighting a 4th dimensional elder god with power to control space and time

Fucking bonkers TAS nano, been anticipating this since talks about it. Glad it's here.

Great work Nano! I don't know you but i appreciate what you have done and accomplished with this video! I'm sure the RaC community is happy for this video aswell! Best of luck with your further endeavours!

Thanks Xem92 for bestowing glory before our eyes. Nice work Nano!

Absolutely awesome TAS, well done

I played this game back before PS3 existed I did not comprehend what I saw

This is probably the best thing I have seen all year. I can't even think how much time and dedication and motivation this project took, but i'm glad you were able to finnish it! It is just so satisfying to see how easily you make Ratchet move!

This was probably the best TAS I've seen of any game. Congratulations man !!! So much work must have gone into this and it shows.

Everybody's gangsta 'till the lombax starts speakin Korean

Really impressed by this, amazing job, congrats! Now I need to understand it, there's a lot to see from someone not entirely familiar with rac3 speedrun God job again

Massive kudos for undertaking such a monumental project! And thank you for the special thanks! It means a lot to me.

That feeling when you quickscope the final boss

7:35 lmao i didnt even know you could skip the turret but thats hilarious

Holy fucking shit this is insane, awesome work my guy i hope there is more to come

Thank you so much for making this Nano!

Couldn’t get the fiddy what a fraud. But in all seriousness this is one of the most satisfying videos I have ever seen you can’t put a price on the value of this video, i am so glad I get to watch this video

Amazing!! Thank you, apparently Ratchet and Clank was a difficult game to TAS. Glad we got one! :D

Wooooaaaahhh, this gameplay was mind-blowing and mesmerizing... My only hope is that Ricky(ThaRixer) and Xem(Xem92) see this beauty.

Called 20:23, glad to see i wasn't that far off. Insane work Nano, really. ggs

Girl: ratchet come over Ratchet: I can't I need to save the universe and have an epic showdown with an evil robot doctor Girl: my parents aren't home Ratchet: be there in 20 mins

Finally finished watching this as I had stuff to do and this is awesome good work

subbed for a commentary, looking forward to it!!

*"Honey, get out of the bathroom, we need to go"* *"I'm not done yet, give me 20 minutes"* *"Sure, i can do it"*

Amazing job bruv! Must have been quite an experience crafting this.

Everytime Ratchet has to fight is a terrifying sight to behold. Although I think my favorite bit is that moment on Daxx where Ratchet lines himself up for the jump on the elevator, it's just such a normal-looking moment in the middle of all the craziness. Quite a run...

3 seconds in the video and i am already going crazy

this is incredible work. congratulations!

What is this godly power quickscoping whole switching to the shock blaster lolol

The daxx sequence is actually incredible

This video is My childhood torn apart literally

one of the coolest things I've ever watched. insane work

*w h a t i n t h e g o d d a m n*

Fun Fact: This is what Dr. Nefarious sees when he glitches out

This is insane i havent played the game for a while and i just realized you did the game in 20mins

*Lands* *Refuses to elaborate* *Leaves*

Insane TAS. I've seen this on Xem's channel. Really good job on this one Nano.

Dang it is fast :3 Nice Daxx btw

Only thing I can say is: Massive respect and Congratulations!

this game looks cool, great job on this man

Wow dude this looks amazing!

10:35 great cutscene

This is insane. Great job man!

INCREDIBLE"..............................

We are not worthy...

I can't wait for the 100% TAS, bro'!👍🏻

最近、この記録がrtaに超えられたと知って驚いた。人類はとうとう20分の壁を突破しようとしている

HOWW????? Straight up amazing man!!

You a whole videogame Legend.

words cannot describe how amazing this is. i can only imagine how much monotonous and tedious work went into this

We need going commando TAS

The amount of money tells me you've played this game for quite some time lol

Ah yes, TAS: The half-mad R&D sector of the speedrunning community.

Really outstanding job

爽快感抜群。 また見に来てしまった。

This was like stupendously ridiculous,must have taken so long to set this all up

I love this so much!

that marcadia swag! Pog

That dax fight was epic

4:05 Amoung us :0-

missed it live but holy shit

How did he beat the game in 20 min? It's ONE OF NATURE'S MYSTERIES!

That Zeldrin was pretty wild

*Ratchet saves the solana galaxy in less than 21 minutes*

This is amazing

After watching the first 15 seconds and having played rac since it's inception, I can say I am still a total noob at this game.

This speedrun was like when bae says she’s home alone

That was insane. Even knowing some of the tricks of speedruns for R&C3 I'm still completely ??? at most of what happened here. It's very obvious to me from someone who sunk a ton of time into this game how much optimization must've gone into the weapon usage. I'm guessing the reason you don't use the fully upgraded RYNOIII is because of the delay on the flash kill.

expects just some like pro gameplay not understanding what TAS stands for/is 30 seconds in Confused screaming

Well done and super cool strats !! I have to ask.. are you planning on doing a Going Commando TAS in the future?

I think the bigger question here is who is this TAS guy why is he so good at so many games??
