All Weapons Animations - Ratchet & Clank

All the weapons and gadget animations from the original PlayStation 2 game.
The game was rendered in 5K (4:3), the video was recorded in 4K, and the final product was the size of the small monitor of the pause menu (1320x1160)

I feel stupid, but only last year I realised that the reason why Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank 1 feels so different even when he doesn't talk, is that his ears droop down 99% of the time.

[@geomania8533]

That he’s wearing a shirt. While OG Ratchet don’t need a shirt to travel the Galaxy and blast murder bots with a crazy amount of weapons

[@Visstnok]

The passion that went into these games is just unmatched.

[@jankjason]

Yeah, games back then had a lot of passion put into them, although people like to argue that even the early to mid 2000's had less passion than the 90s when it comes to games.

[@Cor_de-lius]

To remember: Ratchet makes a evil face when you get Pyrocitor or Devastator in-game. Unsure if is the same thing for R.Y.N.O.

[@Cor_de-lius]

Never realised how R.Y.N.O is big. It is basically Ratchet's size upstanding, which is canonically 5 feet.

[@Cor_de-lius]

And by the 5 feet, i've came to realise that ratchet has half of Skid's height, therefore Skid McMarx has like 3 meters.

[@official_cloudiixcorn]

I have the R.Y.N.O in-game and I can confirm he indeed does make the evil face when he equips it. XD Just like the Pyrocitor and Devastator. I think he mostly does it when you equip the more dangerous weapons like those 3.

[@Just_An_Animal]

Oh how i love this game

[@mr.marvin]

SOUL

[@nchldmn]

Fun fact: at 5:00 if you take off Ratchets O2 mask immediately, you can see his facial expressions while hes breathing and laughing.

[@skitswithc8500]

How do you know that?

[@Adeyum64]

@@skitswithc8500By testing it out yourself? xD

[@nchldmn]

​@@skitswithc8500in the menu quickly take the helmet on and off to see

[@skitswithc8500]

@@nchldmn okay. Thanks for the tip. Did you do that in the game?

[@nchldmn]

​@skitswithc8500 yeah either version works

[@Skehrcros]

Loved watching these as a kid! They added so much personality

[@gemlik_rogue]

Loved these. I think these animations would've given even more personality to Ratchet in-game if he was standing still with a weapon or gadget.

[@ZPixel17]

Oh damn, that's an idea! I think these animations fit more for menus, but it's an intriguing idea for sure.

[@normietwiceremoved]

They should have done this for every game

[@bloodedge1528]

3:13 Now *this* is what defined the entire Ratchet and Clank franchise as a whole.

[@gamursnek]

and to think, people WONDER AND ARE ACTIVELY CONFUSED when I say PS2 ratchet is superior and the HD transition has never been the same

[@Twocoolman115]

The HD games are great (mostly), but yeah, they just don’t have that same aesthetic, ya know?

[@normietwiceremoved]

What i liked about the first game was the feeling of having a collection of mismatching gadgets from everywhere. Nothing felt connected, but in a fun way. Its just like real life whre we have collections of stuff which might look entirely different.

[@hatukari485]

4:35 Hologuise light gray

[@WarMasterGeneral]

Love messing with these as a kid Going from the spin in the Mine Glove to the Walloper is like he whips out the dukes before you know it And my friend and I found a glitch were equipping and unequipping the Magneboots makes him stuck to the floor in his bare feet. XD

[@NitroLad2001]

"It was perfect. PERFECT, everything down to the last minuet detail"

[@Reayashin]

5:21 was straight up foreshadowing Going Commando

[@scorcoz]

..how?

[@RYNOCIRATOR_V5]

No, Ratchet just really likes the helmet lol upon seeing it: "[...] I have GOT to get me one of those!" on getting it: "Now THIS, is COOL!"

[@chiefblox4000]

I always like how the animation are like in RAC PS2

[@xdr22]

Good work on the upscaling dude !

[@timehunter9467]

Something tells me the O2 Mask is him laughing after sounding like Darth Vader.

[@gnbman]

He looks like he's posing for Gadgetron promos.

[@klear93]

Thank you for these! I always loved how much attitude they gave him! 😄

[@tomrow32]

Is it just me, or do Ratchet's eyes look strange when he's looking directly forward at the camera?

[@Pacster1980]

Man... i am a big fan of the franchise... sadly i will never have the chance to play the 2016 remake or even Rift Apart... I could play both PS2 and PS3 era including the spinoffs... Going back to the video itself, the animations that Ratchet make for weapons and gadgets always make me laugh hard!!! ahhhhhhh... the nostalgia....

[@Sakhar09]

Sweet!

[@cooliobros4016]

Ah yes, my favourite weapon, the metal detector

[@WinVisten]

I never realized that he didn't actually hold the Hologuise properly, but the animations are cute and funny and zany and I love them. x3

[@scorcoz]

He is holding it correctly though..

[@gaufreungaming7087]

i got a bug in the selection and the telt got the golden texture i do a video on my chanlle but is very old

[@TheRealBlazingDiamond]

Most people don't know the TELT, they only know the RYNO because that's the English name, just to let you know

[@Solarship_Radical]

It’s cool seeing these up close. Gotta appreciate the small details and love that went into the first game

[@rulixx9973]

RYNO I love it

[@caustin850]

3:13 Yay! A R.Y.N.O!

[@raynemalyon8810]

I only just realised, did Ratchet ever have a permit to carry so many arms.

[@MisterJohnDoe]

Not sure if he even needs one. There's like vending machines selling weapons around every block.

[@saragarnica723]

On this very special day: November 4th, 2002 - November 4th, 2023 Happy 21st Anniversary to Ratchet & Clank!!!🥳🎉🎊

[@WarMasterGeneral]

Any chance you could do another of these with Courtney Gears' dance from the monitors in Deadlocked?

[@Rutchet]

It's just a couple of textures changing over and over, but I'll try to check it out

[@Optimal_Elem3nt0r98]

5:21 :D👍

[@Tezla_Insanity]

Nostalgia ❤

[@NinjonLazarus]

Can you do the other games animations as well? Oooooh yeah! They don't have.😢 I really miss little things like this.

[@nuclearawr]

The love and passion from this series is gone. 😢

[@coolgirl2044]

Clank is just on Ratchet's back like "🫥"
