The only real scumbag of the later games is the weird pseudo-Australian lizard guy, the Smuggler but otherwise everyone’s pretty decent. The characters turn into caricatures of themselves over time and everyone’s willing to help them. It’s apparent in the next-gen console games too, just not as obviously. The toned down, child-friendly content though doesn’t appear straight away in the Ratchet and Clank remake. The story is only somewhat similar, as both games contain the ‘Deplanetizer’ and part of the bad guys’ plan is to destroy planets to build a new one. Nefarious is the boss from the third and seventh games, and suddenly he’s the boss in the remake, replacing evil businessman Drek.

I wondered why I was confused watching the movie originally (it’d been years since I’d actually played the first game) and it wasn’t until I went back that I realised they changed the final boss completely! Dr. The weirdest thing though is that the remake of Ratchet and Clank has, well, nearly nothing to do with the original game. “What the fuck is that fucker doing here? Why are they retconning everything?” “I don’t know, Ratchet, but we mustn’t act too rash now…” While Clank is somewhat normal, Ratchet suddenly turns into that same boring starry-eyed child protagonist who wants to be a hero. Zoom forward to the remake, and Al just gives you the Helipack upgrade. Al has to eat, you know? Everyone’s the same, and you get both Ratchet and Clank becoming frustrated about it all.

In the very first game, you have to buy the Helipack upgrade for Clank. Sounds weird, but let me give you an example. But as the game goes on, everything is just… given to them. As they travel, they realise that most people are scumbags looking for fame or money. You start off as two people just trying to get shit done and at the same time building a relationship between themselves. No, the problem is that everything’s blunt and dulled down.

Clearly there was something about the arena format that was so good they made a whole game based on it – Ratchet: Gladiator was probably the edgiest of the whole series, but on the plus side, it contained pretty much no annoying Clank levels. Have to have an arena world, have to have a place where you collect a ton of stuff, have to have X, Y and Z weapons or weapon variants. They’re all good, despite the increase on how repetitive they were. There’s a bunch of cool weapons to level up and lots of things to explode and kill, as well as my arch nemesis, platforming. But for me, it was an eye-opener of how… dulled the newer games are. Mainly for the gameplay and not really for the story at all.

One of my favourite Let’s Play-ers, Bisnap, has played all the games and has them all on his channel, so I watched them there. So I sat down and watched Let’s Plays of the first five games and the remaster.

Yes, I hadn’t actually seen any of the newer games, but surely this was just something with the remaster and the movie? The movie was a generic money-grabber aimed at kids.Īfter watching the video, I was slightly confused. And I take back most of the good points I made when I reviewed it. That movie, after a second viewing and me having another look at Let’s Plays of the original game, was fucking awful. It mainly looked at the differences between the original game and the remake, which only came into existence because of the Ratchet and Clank movie. I watched the video, and it was an hour of good commentary, probably not everyone’s cup of tea though if you’re not interested in the franchise. I never played the later games because I never had a Playstation 3 or 4, but it turns out there are five next-gen Ratchet and Clank games – three ‘Future’ games, a short game set in its own time and a remake of Ratchet and Clank 1. I actually used to play tons of Ratchet and Clank on my old Playstation 2 and I’ve completed (with a little help) the first game, Up Your Arsenal and Ratchet: Gladiator, which was called Ratchet: Deadlocked in the US.
