Yeah I kinda miss the original personality the franchise had. Now, it's more family friendly. But back then Ratchet was a gun toting, trigger happy dude. Ratchet and Clank matured as they went but they had that teenage/young adult edgy humor to them that made them stand out compared to most things. And it never took itself too seriously because of it.

[@20000dino]

@@Zayindjejfj yep, exactly. For me, the perfect Ratchet and Clank game would have art direction of the last two games and a writing mix of the original trilogy’s sarcastic, darker style and the Crack in Time’s more emotional, Pixar-like style. Also, Dr. Nefarious wouldn’t be the villain and the story would have nothing to do with the Lombaxes, space-time shenanigans or dimensions (plots which have been way too overused even outside of Ratchet and Clank games). You don’t need to use such plot devices to raise the stakes: good writing already does that, even with the most basic of premises.

[@Saasquash2000]

@@FinalFaintasy Making something for children doesn't have to be stupid or targetted only for them (not that this game is). Look at some of the greatest Pixar, those movies have not just a "stupid storyline because they're targetting children", no. They have some good writting where children have fun AND parents too. Dunkey didn't contradicts himself, because he knows the difference between Peppa pig and Up.

[@CrossBreedTacoHD]

@@FinalFaintasy "Dunkey himself said it’s better for games to inclusive rather than exclusive, so he completely contradicts himself while missing the point of what an ESRB rating is." So wouldn't it be more inclusive if the game was catered to everyone and not just children? Besides you are missing the point. It's not about the technicalities of whether or not children or adults have the ability to purchase a game, its commentary about the difference between products that cater only to children and to those that cater to everyone, and in Dunks opinion, this game suffers for not striking that balance. Which is a fair criticism to make. Like Sassquash said, this game isn't like peppa pig. I'd agree it would be weird if a grown ass adult criticized peppa pig for being too focused on the child demographic and claimed it would be better if it tried to cater to everyone. Ratchet and clank, however, is a game series that's been out for decades, where most of its fans have grown up. Also it's not really being marketed towards children, its being marketed towards everyone. With the context we have, objectively this product would be better if it were to cater to everyone opposed to the more child focused catering.

[@hereticwaffle5514]

I experienced this when playing the first game in a SINGLE scene. Remember in the first game on that water plant? Ratchet breaks his back helping this guy for an O2 mask, then when EVERYTHING is done, he’s told “yeah we don’t have any, so we kind of have a problem.” Ratchets immediate response is “WE have a problem? I just saved your world in multiple different ways and I just wanted an O2 mask: if you don’t have it after all this time *literally pulls out gun* that’s YOUR problem!” In the new game he literally says “WHAT? Well there must be SOMETHING we can do?” Both going to do the exact same mission that ended the exact same way. They’ve tried so hard to make Ratchet kid friendly that it isn’t Ratchet anymore. It’s just his younger brother Chet.

[@TayR0C]

Damn.

[@zach3861]

What I find kinda strange is that the Original Racthet and Clank games were also for kids, but despite that weren't "childish" in their writing. A lot of the humor was well written and witty, and while the stories weren't mindblowing (as they're still kid's games) they usually had a compelling theme that tied into both the main characters and the main villan (The first 3 R&C mostly focus around corporate consumerism, whereas Ratchet Deadlocked shows how media and fame can corrpt a person's morality if they let it).

[@nerdstorma8427]

I want you to receive a reward for the moniker of Chet. That was brilliant.

[@flips6155]

While I do miss that version of ratchet, I do feel like this character has grown quite a lot. Like, even in up Your arsenal Ratchet wouldn't aim a gun at someone like that. He grew up and changed. rift apart is like 7 years after Nexus and even in nexus he was mature. He's been through a lot and after deadlocked I feel like he's a lot nicer because of character development. He's different, but he's still ratchet. If youve played straight through all the games its honestly not even jarring. His change is gradual through each game. By the time I got to rift apart it just felt like the ratchet we left in Nexus, which felt like the ratchet from all 4 one, which felt like the ratchet from crack in time which felt like tools ect. The Movie game he's different because its all from qwarks POV and he's telling the story wrong to undermine ratchet and make him look lame. Which is very in character for qwark. Ratchet was a total ass in the first game because he was a literal kid. But part of what makes ratchet and clank so great together is their buddy dynamic, which didn't exist in the first game. Every game has strengths and weaknesses. Its very hard to rank this series of games. Honestly I cant say which one is best, but deadlocked is my personal favorite.

[@hereticwaffle5514]

@@flips6155 okay i WOULD agree with you, wholeheartedly everything about what you said made sense. Except for one part that you hinged on- Character development goes out the window when you incorporate reboots. You can’t talk about the other ratchet and clank games being used as character development in a comment section of a sequel that we didn’t get in the originals. If that didn’t make sense let me summarise- You can’t put the character development Toby Maguire’s Spider-Man went through onto Tom Holland, because reboots made it a different character and a different telling of the story, also meaning new canon, new events that did and did not happen. You can’t put character development 2000’s ratchet went into on 2018’s one because the canon was ultimately changed through reboot

Rift Apart seems to continue its trend of "focusing on kid friendliness" from the """PS4 reboot movie video game 2016""" which is a big red flag considering the franchise used to be nothing but innuendos and edge humor with capitalist satire, on the PS2 era at least

[@paulogaspar8295]

yes because everyone when they played R&C understood "capitalist satire". This franchise was allways for childrean, everyone here knows the game because we played it has childrean. Putting those jokes doesn't make their target audience like the games more and it can make them have legal issues. They are exactly doing what they should.

[@BobtheX]

​@@paulogaspar8295 Being made for kids doesn't mean the game has to have a shitty plot with shitty dialogue and vapid characters. Yes I got the capitalist satire as a kid because it's pretty on the nose. There's a character in the third game called Courntey Gears that's obviously just a robotic Britney Spears parody. 10 year old me got the joke because it's a pretty obvious joke. Sure I didn't understand the deeper themes of the story until I got older, but that's what good children's media should do. Evolve with you as you age. That's why shows like Avatar, Ed Edd n Eddy, and Courage aged like fine wine. And a show like Fanboy and Chum Chum aged like milk. There's nothing illegal about putting raunchy jokes and innuendos in a videogame aimed at kids AND adults. They've done it before and nobody sued.

@@paulogaspar8295 A wise franchise should grow with their audience, not abandon them first chance they get so they don't have to try as hard. I am not saying R&C should be rebooted to be a rated M game or anything like that.

Therefore are not afraid to have adult themes and stuff.

@@larryhouse8358 nah. Rift Apart was my first Ratchet and Clank game (technically it was R&C 1 back on the PS2 but never finished) and while it has a solid foundation with its gameplay, level design and gameplay loop, it tends to get repetitive getting trapped in a room or arena every 5 seconds with the same enemies and going back to the same 4 planets like 3 times. It doesnt help that the story felt very shallow. I ended up finishing R&C 1 after and absolutely loving it all the way through. Then I played Going Commando and somehow ended up becoming one of my favorite games of all time with Tools of Destruction being a second then Up Your Arsenal. The worlds felt more realized in the older games and characterization was also charming for being unique and the dynamic between Ratchet and Clank. The writing also being some of the funniest/stupidest shit Ive seen. These games felt more tightly designed compared to the new games. The design of the games before 2016 just felt so much better

There is ALOT more to the use of the SSD than load times, on the user end you probably won’t notice but in reality all the games mentioned with “no loading screens” actually just had playable loading screens where you would walk around doing nothing or the game had to slow down the pace somehow, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but the developers are forced into doing something to slow you down.

@Gwapa snuna The original R&C trilogy (+ Deadlocked) had social commentary on the dangers of consumerism, idolizing celebrities, and how greedy people were for money. This was reflected in every NPC you met in R&C1, cause they were always out to get paid, and Quark betraying you because Drek needed him as a spokesperson for his new planet that he made for profit to sell to the Blarg... Which he himself polluted their original planet, and plans to repeat the process until he becomes the richest person in the galaxy. Sounds familiar? So yes, unironically Ratchet storylines used to be political and that's why the PS2 titles are praised more than anything past the PS3 ones which were more consumer friendly and generic platformers.

Hello, certified hardcore Ratchet and Clank fangirl here. I can say without a doubt, as much as the truth hurts, you are 100% correct on this. I was really hoping after everyone complained that the tone of the game was way too child friendly in the reboot Insomniac would listen and bring back some of that raunchy humor that made me fall in love with the series back in the day. I'm okay with Ratchet becoming more mature as his character develops, but they've widdled down his personality so much that even white bread would say he's plain. Same goes for Rivet. Since it took her much longer to find Kit than it did for Ratchet and Clank to find each other, I'd think she'd be a lot more destructive and manipulative like Ratchet originally was until he befriended Clank. At the very least it would give the characters some personality to bounce off of each other with. Instead I feel Rivet's character can be summed up as "R34 bait" as she doesn't bring anything new or interesting to the table to justify her existence.

[@deadweight4887]

Long time fan here too and I agree with you. The way the characters are written in this game is very weird, sometimes Ratchet was acting like in ACiT where he was more heroic, smart, serious, but still arrogant and funny at times. Other times though... Ratchet would act like the reboot Ratchet, constantly thanking people, being reckless, fearful of monsters that he have fought over and over. I liked Rivet but I agree she doesn't bring nothing new to the table and there isn't much interaction between her and Ratchet, they're separated for almost the entire duration of the game. I also don't like the pirate and zombies jokes like the French Pirate, Pirate Planet, zombie T-Rex. This game is a great improvement over the Reboot, but the story and dialogue still isn't quite on the level of the PS2 or PS3 games.

[@Unclipper]

I replayed most of the series ahead of this release and I found that I mostly just like the Ratchet from the first game and every subsequent installment made him more cuddly and inoffensive, with the exception of Deadlocked which brought the edge back and as a result is probably my second favorite game after the first. Still a hell of a lot of fun, but in the first game he actually has an arc and a personality that bounces well off the greedy and shitheaded npc's. As soon as Ratchet started "yes sir-ing" CEO's I just had to sigh to myself.

[@legenddairy0]

I think Rivet lover went touching grass

[@yamummyyummy4785]

one of the old ratchet games' greatest strengths was that ratchet was never reckognised for any of the good deeds he did meanwhile this game hands out "thank yous" and "congratulations" every five seconds like trend words

"Rift apart seems to only have one setting; Loud." So it is doom eternal.

[@RahatAzim998]

Doom is a demon massacring game, so being loud fits the tone. Unlike Ratchet and Clank, a PG game playing it very safe and is basically for children.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM

[@merijnbras8901]

Now the only thing missing is a metal soundtrack made bij Mick Gordon

[@letsBrn]

I mean doom is more metal loud. This is more overerly obnoxious loud.

[@blumberde8726]

To be fair, Doom is Doom

[@balss248]

There is a precedent since the movie to make the series a more “children’s” game. The series already had its dark and brooding era in the deadlocked series

[@shawklan27]

After deadlocked you mean?

[@EpicLatios]

I absolutely love the series but they've seriously lost their edge. Everyone is waaaaay too nice. Crack in Time is truly the last great one as it wasn't scared to go dark.

[@yfranse4881]

deadlocked was sick

[@GamesbyNed]

@@Noman5462 now it's very complimenting (and thanking)

[@thecianinator]

Series? There was more than one Deadlocked?
