Conquering Jak 3 - ERA I: GENESIS

[@dr4gonblitz]

9 PARTS! You are absolutely crazy for this one Ricky! Super excited for the whole series!

[@ThaRixer]

Yes sir! I'm just as excited to be making them

7:25 This Kleiver Skip actually gave me a great deal of nostalgia, since I discovered a very similar glitch as a kid (back then I couldn't get past the Kleiver Race and the Leaper Race so I just played around with the first few missions), though not by jumping over him with a JetBoard in Hero Mode (since I didn't know Hero Mode existed back then), but rather by randomly dying (I believe I rolljumped somewhere into the lava from the platform next to the door and after that i got respawned past Kleiver to freeroam the city, never managed to get it consistently though because I didn't care back then)

[@ThaRixer]

Yea you can walk close to Kleiver and get the checkpoint to the frontside of the arena, then go back and die in the lava. Just a secondary but slightly slower way of skipping Kleiver in Hero Mode

[@bigbangbot-SuperSqank]

An absolute banger as always. The beginning of the video was quite poignant. There are thousands of speedgames out there with stories to tell but only a small fraction of them will have their stories told and an even smaller fraction of them will have their stories told to their full extent. It’s a daunting task but fully documenting an entire speedgame’s story is truly commendable and remarkable. This first part was really great and I am looking forward to the following 8 parts.

[@ThaRixer]

Ty sqank, ill do my best to cover the history :)

[@marinellovragovic1207]

1:53 As random as this might sound on this vid, I paused it a mere second after hearing the TDU PS2 music play. That game was incredible in its amount of content and its music. Thank you for not forgetting of its existence.

[@diamonddust4486]

I can already tell this is gonna be a good series of videos.

[@HellsDevilwildrift]

4:28 you really had to do us like this with the old DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2/3 music. Gave me nostalgic goosebumps, I loved that game so much...

[@theUsual_]

The editing is top-notch. Cant wait to see the rest of the series

[@ThaRixer]

Ty Usual, glad to have you back :)

[@cypress5100]

This my boy! So happy he's doing good again!

[@arce5473]

I freaking loved your "beating jak with 8 cells" video, I'm so excited with this one and OMG IS A SERIES

[@wiider2510]

Holy shit the music in these videos, literally so many insane tracks I would of never known about

[@ThaRixer]

They're all in the description if you wanna listen to them on their own 😎

[@beincheekym8]

so hyped for this, and glad you are taking the time to do a 9 parts series! very good editing, i barely played jak 3 as a kid (did not own it unfortunately) so the mission timeline really helped reading the progress

[@ThaRixer]

That's awesome. One of my biggest focus points with the video was clairty. I wanted the mission timeline and glitches to be easy to understand for people who haven't played the game.

[@demitrischoenwald1436]

I love how much pride you have for being a part of the speedrun communities, that you actively contribute.

[@moomoocupcakes]

Man. The editing and story telling are stellar. Please don't ever stop showcasing speedrunning stories. These are awesome! You are an incredible story teller.

[@shibble]

Feels good to be early, Thanks for all the work you do cataloging this niche history!

[@ajslovan]

I’m so pumped for this and can’t wait for future parts. Also I love the player intros and how they get a unique style

[@95TurboSol]

I never played this game but the 90's nostalgia is brought back watching this, and speed running is always cool no matter what game.

[@imdabomdiggitty4399]

I love watching your videos because all of these games are nostalgic to me especially Jak 3, I spent a LOT of hours in Jak 3 as a kid.

[@sword8392]

one of my favorite games from my childhood im so excited to watch this series thank u so much for all ur hard work

[@PowercellZeke]

Super sick video, some of these edits and graphics were so clean and creative! Looking forward to the rest of the series

[@ThaRixer]

Ty Zeke!

[@Toudreyte6501]

Thank you for making these videos on Jak games, there is few games I wish there were remakes more than this series

[@scas97]

A 9 part jak 3 series by Ricky? This is the best thing I could hope for! The editing going along with the music during the runners' presentation is insane! And I love that you used Lonesome Wind! It's so surreal to see runs without the use of the hover glitch!

[@mr.thrusty8096]

My man, as i am spending this weekend watching through retrospectives and summaries of the entire series and the games singular, I've always had yet to dive into the speed running scene of this game's history. And boy oh boy I think I have found the perfect way to hop right into it. Madlad 👏

[@jimbobuz]

Very excited for the rest of this series. The skips in this game are so sick. I remember playing this series as a kid and loving it.

[@DoctorSwellman]

Excellent vid! Can't wait to see the rest of the series

[@Bracketmeister]

I've never played a Jak game in my life and I'm not even super into speedrunning, but I've loved your previous documentaries so I'm super excited to see what happens in this 9 PARTER! Congrats, man, I'm sure it'll be a hell of a ride.

[@jravee5994]

seeing these games through a free cam perspective will always be so surreal. love that cinematography in your videos!

[@99sonder]

I absolutely loved a lot of the editing here! The way it cut into the title screen like it was an actual title screen from the game was beautiful!

[@47ii]

Dat Zoe ost hittin hard af in that intro thx so much for doing videos on jak 🔥🔥

[@olivergartner3346]

I love these documentary style videos

[@CantusTropus]

I rarely get to use this clichéd line, but this game was my childhood. I am SO looking forward to this series!

[@ConnorKrohnicles]

Man watching your runs all those years ago and evolution of speed strats was something truly special

[@drqwumbo4143]

Love the video and cant wait to see the remaining parts unfold. Jak 3 Any% is the only game/category ive actually submitted a time for so definitely excited to see how the history of the run unfolds. P.S. shout out to your use of music from Heroes of Might and Magic 3 at 8:34... love that gem of a game :)

[@the_echoYT]

It's absolutely insane how much of these early routes and tech are still relevant in runs today.

[@elijah2118]

Forever holds a place in my heart.

[@RabbitEarsCh]

Excellent form as usual. This is very exciting and I'm happy to go on this journey with you. Your confidence and love for the game shine bright.

[@renegadesofanarchy289]

Production values on this are insane! Loving use of debug mode, easy to understand editing and video interviews with the community!

[@chrisgioko]

I've never had any interest in speedrunning but I LOVE your channel and have massive respect for the speedrunners. Also, I grew up with these games and I love learning new stuff about them. Keep them coming, please!

[@kinggacha7274]

NINE PARTS, GODDAMN we are eating GOOD!! The Jak speedrunning community is absolutely cracked, can't wait to see the entire series!

[@rrrubiks]

This game was my childhood! Great vid Ricky

[@Hummeldon]

Awesome intro to the series!

[@calmguru1274]

More speedrunning history stuff is always welcome. The niche story telling is just too good. Good background noise, good videos to actively watch, just good shit all around. If i had some money id throw it your way man

[@keminoharrul9071]

WOW 9 PARTS?! I'm so so SO hyped for this! Amazing work Rixer, looking forward to everything about Jak 3 since it was my childhood game back in the PS2 era

[@mooli7777]

Rixer, I just have to say how much I love your content, your videos are always well researched and very interesting with some great editing. The games you cover are also always some of my favourites. I'm pretty sure I could watch you for hours on end. Look forward to the rest of the series!

[@yzbrian]

I am so HYPED for this series!!

[@BobbyBFilms]

Wow this is so fire. So pumped for the whole series! Respect to tha OGs

[@Icceptz]

Nice video Ricky! This is gonna be a good 9 part series, Keep up the good work!

[@Jak_Grajeda]

Finally someone giving the Jak series the spotlight it deserves, and in a category not even the most dedicated fans may have noticed.

[@LoZander]

I've come back to rewatch the first three parts again before I watch the fourth. Your story telling and editing is awesome. The mission tree was such a good idea and the stylised introduction of the runners was so hype

[@Rissole]

This was so cool to watch! Looking forward to this series. :)

[@Daligga]

I'm so excited for part 2, time to rewatch part 1 in preparation ❤

[@SkaiXmask]

I'm always up for a Jak and Daxter video. Please do make more videos on these games

[@ShOcKtHeSyStEm527]

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS SERIES. THANK YOU RICKY 👏

[@monstarvirus0777]

I finally got the chance to watch this keep up the good work man im excited for the whole series 👍

[@JesseDPants]

Heroes 3 music is a nice touch! Hype to see more!

[@lunathecutest6652]

I absolutely adored this game as a kid.

[@cinosaurus]

this is mesmerizing, thanks for uploading!

[@PaintyMainy]

All righ, this is a nice start for a week. Seeing just this being 1 out of 9 makes me excited even before watching this vid. You are a legend Ricky

[@Brysingr]

Man the Zone of the enders OST at the start >>>>> I love this game and its music so much it's a pleasure to hear it in a video!

[@MayaSharky]

Jak 2 and 3 were my childhood! This is gonna be great! :D

[@mehdielkamch9257]

IM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT PARTS!!!! THIS IS SO WELL MADE. THANK YOU!

[@TheRealShadnic]

Finally got time to check this out, what an amazing project you have here! I can't wait for the future parts, this must have taken ages and will definitely be a legendary jewel in the speedrunning documentary scene.

[@substance5972]

I just love your videos,not only you make them about one of my favorite games but you also include soundtracks from the other favorites.

[@swoch185]

This editing is a work of art

[@dancerdante8500]

Perfect video with following perfect 8 parts I love how you are covering my 2 favorite game series in speed running, which are Jak & daxter, and ratchet & clank

[@rosariogueli6904]

my god, I've never been so hyped, you made me fell in love with this video with one thing: you haven't made any spoilers for the last era, and I felt like I was actually there, like I didn't know all the skips we know at the moment, you created the perfect atmosphere

[@johnderouen1038]

I'd only seen a handful of your videos before, and mostly in passing, but I'm honestly a little miffed that I stumbled upon this within a day of its upload, cause now I'm hooked and waiting for the other EIGHT VIDEOS. I played the hell out of Jak III as a kid, but obviously had no idea what a speedrun even was at the time. This video was excellent, and like I say I eagerly await the rest in the series. The pacing, editing, and script are all very well-done. By the time this is finished it'll be a wonderful catalog of the history of (in my opinion) the best entry in an underappreciated game series that has aged pretty gracefully despite being more-or-less forgotten by its creators.

[@DisasterpieceGER]

9 parts?! this is gonna be a good one

[@Nuke_SR]

Jak 3 is such an interesting game to me and its awesome to see you covering it in 9 different parts. The editing and voice over was really good and I can't wait for the rest of the series! Keep up the great work!

[@TheZohan907]

Dude that’s awesome, I’m so excited to watch this series Ricky :) I hope you’re enjoying making them cuz I’m sure as hell gonna enjoy each and everyone second

[@AndroidsDreamTV]

I can't wait to see the full story! Amazing work

[@Jishkared]

Reminder to comment to help the vid! Banger one as that, can't wait for the rest to drop

[@Sausketo]

i LOVED this game, it was the only jak game i played, i still remember the rumored dark/light transformation that supposedly existed. I hope this game is the next "remastered" game series to come out!

[@lauriegallagher8057]

Glad to see you back, especially on my favourite Jak game. Can't wait to see more.

[@TheAugustburnsbright]

This was a real treat to watch! Super excited to see the other eight parts

[@CrescentStorm]

Quality editing, visuals and audio! The amount of information on a 2004 game is insane! Can not wait for the next video!

[@jacobfry5507]

Found this series at part 8's release. Came all the way back here and will watch to catch up to the new release. Been a fan since Touval's vid!

[@Jupuu]

The editing is so good Ricky! Great video once again!

[@jessestumpf190]

I am so hype for this, thank you for your dedicated service of speed running history Rixer

[@ichiban108]

I just wanna say that having heroes 3 battle music on background is fucking legendary, on top of all the Jak content. Thank you, Rixer 🙏

[@averagejoeyo]

This is a great way to tell the story, focusing on each runner and the route they took 😘👌🏻 Props to the chef

[@damiencouturee6240]

This is gonna be awesome my dude!! Thanks for all the hard work and great videos man

[@lucianjune2227]

These speed runners documentary’s are just amazing please keep em coming Rixer much love!

[@MarcoPolo187]

Really hyped for the series, looking so much forward to it ❤

[@DansVirtualDen]

great Video and very informative. Love to learn more about Jak and its history but the true icing the the cake is the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Soundtrack

[@RedUmbreon40]

I can't wait for the next video. I absolutely love the way you edit these videos and talk about games. Hell, I even watched your Mirror's Edge and God of War videos and I hadn't seen ANYTHING of either of those games before yours. And I loved both of them!

[@CursedKeyblade1]

I've been watching your content since probably like 2013, hard to believe it's been 10 years. It's crazy to see how much more people know about this game since then. Thank you for all the content you create, it's been quite a trip to see all of it.

[@itgetsdajobdone]

Your production has gotten so good with the latest videos. Bravo, Ricky. Cannot wait to see the rest of the series

[@Templarfreak]

there really is just so many pieces to this game that all fall right into place in just the right way that if you take even one of them out, today the best speedrun's length would probably still be over an hour.

[@adamelba2896]

You're a good narrator we need more videos about ppl breaking games in half

[@princefootstool3059]

ERA 2 ABOUT TO BE GOATED! This video brings back so many memories early Jak series speedrunning seriously has my heart

[@Preisalade]

Awesome work Ricky, looking forward to the rest! Crazy to see what people did back in 2009 already ^^

[@OriginalPrimarch]

So glad to see you upload again. You make me enjoy and care about something I otherwise would have little interest in. You made speed running interesting for me.

[@brando6378]

Gonna download this whole documentary when all of it comes out for rewatching. I can’t wait to see the rest!

[@clinto32]

A 9 part series on one of my favorite games growing up!?!? Thank you Rixer!!!
