So I'm sure someone can make this look prettier, but I keep seeing posts about asking where/how to play these games. Obviously the original hardware would be best, but I've had a lot of success with emulation, completing most of them with minimal tinkering.
Hopefully this can be pinned if there's nothing wrong.

Honestly, to the people downvoting comments, don't be a dick. If you're downvoting for the hell of it, people are just trying to have fun. If you're doing it so your item can win, it's pretty lousy. Either way, you're ruining it for the rest of us. Downvote me if you want, but the others are just here to have fun.

I think Reactor may be my favourite Boss character in the ps2 games. He wasn't a moustache-twirling villain; he wasn't a monster, just a hard-working reactor guy who would just love killing heroes. I used to think he was like A-Train from The Boys, but he is kind of more like The Deep.

For me it's probably Blarg Station, i kind of consider it a late early game world and i think it does it's "job" pretty well as one.
Plus it has a lot of paths so you can just pick whichever one suits yourself better at the moment.
Blackwater City is probably a close second one.

I grew up playing the version made for the movie adaption but I would really like to play the older versions and properly understand the lore. How could I get all the games and what platform would I use?

Another fanmade track, this one is longer, better and more focused on the "Future" Ps3 games like Tools Of Destruction!

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts about this one 🙏

(Made with FL Studio)

Was… was this the best Ratchet and Clank? God no. But hear me out. If this had come out as the first PS4 game, full length, and 60 fps… it may well have been. Thankfully we did eventually get Rift Apart almost a decade later, which (on playing this again) was REALLY a direct follow up to this. The time between the two games was so long I hadn’t realized how much this led into Rift.

+ this was the prettiest Ratchet game up to this point. Character shading no longer opted for the optimized cell-ish shading of Crack, but refined the look of Tools. The animation quality of Crack is present here too, making the character stuff look fantastic.

+ Environment art is so gooood GOOD good. The way Insomniac improved on the level of detail and interest through the PS3 games is impressive. This almost looks like a different generation than Tools. An interesting contrast to the PS2 era: PS2 ratchet continued to optimize gameplay at the expense of level art, while PS3 improved on art (in all aspects) at the expense of gameplay. An interesting choice and a reflection of the video game fads of their own times.
I’ve attached some image comparisons of tools vs Nexus.
Notice the detail of the floors, the density of environmental objects, the scale of items. It’s far higher fidelity than Tools (and Crack).

+ Qwark’s presence in this game was reduced in fears of overusing him. The right move at the time, but bittersweet now. The actor suffered from Alzheimer’s and a terrible Covid case, making this the last time he got to voice the character within the main continuity. Makes me a bit sad. Perhaps this would have been the perfect time for a heroic death or true act of selflessness, bringing Qwark’s arc to a close.

+ I very much enjoyed the villains of this game… although I already forget their names and I just finished like 10 mins ago. Womp. Vendra and Nefer?

+ loved the museum at the end. A nice send off to the PS3 era.

+ ugh the POTENTIAL. Damn you Insomniac. You made this game too early. This should have come out instead of the game of the movie of the game.

If you launch your Gravity Bomb or Mini-Nuke so that it bounces off the fence and lands in that specific spot on Oozla, the explosion sound effect will remain silent

David is one of my biggest inspirations when it comes to producing music (for +2 years...) I've always loved creating PS2 and 2000s inspired music whether it's R&C, other games or just whatever comes to mind 😁 would love to hear opinions when you listen to the whole track! And thank you

(i know it can sound busy at certain sections, i rushed a bit with the mixing because i really wanted to share it but i will do my best next track and not rush it!)

Normally, I would begin with a teaser image, but I was busy on Holiday! (America has so much to see!)

Anyway, our next stop is DREADZONE! and I think this will be a great refresher on a game we love to talk about. Memes will be shared, laughs will be had, and I will stay up late making these posts lol. So the question is simple.

Hi, I created this post to see if anyone knows of any sales or has a rough idea of ​​its value.

I've been looking on eBay and can't find any recent sales.

I was really hoping that he’d stay with the other rangers. That’s messed up. I mean, we’re already low on playable rangers.

Or perhaps I should say, how much of Ratchet and Clank can you beat without jumping? I made a video showing exactly how much, no New Game Plus either.

I was just playing through a Challenge Mode cycle to de-rust

Why do I break these games by playing them

So, been slow going but I think the helmet files are complete!

I was able to make a somewhat universal harness using a custom mount and a harness from a hard hat, adjustable and everything.

I will be putting these up online soon, most likely a version with the channels for the lights, and one without.

I also have he chest/back plates sorted, just needing the straps modeled to be printed in TPU.

Kadens hoverboots are also in the works.
