Exploring Cut Content in Ratchet & Clank 2!

[@koolio7805]

This video contains the highest quality footage of unused RaC 2 weapons on KZbin, which is awesome. The demo comparisons were neat too

[@kaymew9216]

I think the main reason the audio for the one Thugs for Less fight was cut was mostly due to the fact that Clank was included in the audio and having Clank with you for that fight was optional (meaning you could fight the boss before rescuing Clank). Also note that if you have Clank on your back during this fight, Clank does not show up in the cutscene at all, not even on Ratchet's back (despite being there when the actual battle starts). It's disappointing though; I would have liked the cut content to have been added since I see nothing wrong with the audio used. P.S: Same goes with the scene where Ratchet gets his second wrench; in the final scene Clank and Ratchet end up not being together at all due to having been split up. Sigh. Basically all of the cut scenes were cut because of Clank's absence. Sucks...

[@feder373]

Well, that's the main drawback of making branching paths in the levels, the story and scenes become harder to develop, especially when a main character is temporaly absent. They also messed up in the Barlow hoverbike cutscene, though in the opposite way: Clank always appears in it despite the high chance that you still haven't rescued him in Endako.

[@rhysnichols8608]

Great to see we are still having fun with this game after 15 years

[@pat2rome]

The original is going on 20 years old now, I can't believe it. Less than two months away.

[@phoenix80823]

Sort of a shame we didn't get platinum weapons I guess

[@RCLombax]

+Soko Shinigaming If they were still there then I'd be using them! I'd like to know what they would've looked like

[@tyrantcynicalgaming]

The reason why they stopped special bolt weapon upgrades after RAC 1 is because now you can upgrade your weapons just by using them and in challenge mode you can buy mega weapon upgrades. In ratchet and clank 2 you could use the special bolt of the game which was platinum bolts to make upgrades to your weapon. (Lock on mod, Bigger blast, etc) but after RAC 2 they made the special bolts of the game so useless. In RAC 3,Crack in time and tools you can only use the special bolts for skins.In the recent games they are starting to fix the special bolts uselessness though. In Into the Nexus you need gold bolts to buy Omega weapons and in the RAC PS4 you could use it to unlock cheats.

[@rayzojams]

@@tyrantcynicalgaming omega weapons in nexus are like gold weapons. You need money and gold bolts to buy them. But thanks to you, now i wanna play nexus again.

Yeah instead we get dumbass skins in later games LMAO

[@yojoehojo4291]

20:46 WHOA Qwark was ACTUALLY gonna be the final boss? Damn, that would've been rad. Instead, we just got... well, the protopet...

[@LuckGamerOfficial]

IIRC the text that appears after you beat the game telling you about challenge mode also says "before you beat qwark"

[@feder373]

The original final boss was going to be the real Fizzwidget instead. They changed it in the last minute when they realized Qwark still hadn't appeared in the entire game aside from a couple tv show clips, which would've crippled the development of his story in the trilogy. The end result was still disappointing, I agree. Sadly, they didn't put enough care on the plot this time.

[@sonicthehedge]

There is still dialogue in game that reference that cut level. I don't remember exactly and word by word the cutscene but when Ratchet reaches to Angelia in her "place" after killing all the Proto-pets. From what I remember they talk about inflating the MegaCorp place and that maybe only one of their ships would probably pass the defenses or something like that. I don't remember it exactly so if someone can correct me and explain it better that'll be welcomed.

[@teravolt1195]

She says the orbital defences are nasty, so with two ships there's a good chance at least one of them will get through. (Ratchet: Just. Be. Careful. - Angela who trips: Right.)

[@FrcNeru]

Inflating 😭😭😭

[@Leroyteam]

I'm trying to complete R&C Size Matters on the PS2 for the first time (recently got the game). Size Matters is a hard game to find for the PS2 (personally. I saw many many PSP versions). Could you do a comparison on the PSP and PS2 version if possible in the future? Thanks for reading :)

[@TheTyupi]

I didn't even know it came out for the PS2. Wow. You just blew my mind.

[@jonathancourbet]

The Trust imo the PS2 version is pretty bad compared to the PSP version; the camera is way too close on PS2

[@Leroyteam]

+Bodo bin Baas Agree, and it lacks checkpoints in some maps

[@tyrantcynicalgaming]

Size matters is a easy and fast game. The only thing that is hard about it is the races because of the shitty ass controls at least on the ps2. (The race controls are probably bad on the psp too)

[@SkrillDude]

The Trust Hey! To be honest yea, i played both versions, and, nothing really changes, except some upgraded textures, High Impact were lazy to make a ps2 version so they just ported the PSP one to make it run on the ps2, i might be wrong, but i cant see any difference

[@LazarouDave]

Really is a shame that we didn't get the extended lines and Space combat before Yeedil - i'd have loved that to be in the game

[@timthememer2785]

Great video! One little thing is the 'Please Stop', 'Not Nice', Getting Angry' and 'Payback Time' messages are used in game on Todano as menu descriptions for the helpdesk messages you get if you keep killing the tourists as they're getting off the bus. Just thought I'd say in case no one else had, and because I remember I had a lot of fun when I discovered you could do that lol

[@ahmedf4523]

21:31 was she about to laugh?

[@rayzojams]

13:06 tentacle beast is in the insomniac games museum and thugs 4 less battle sphere still exists in pal version of the game 13:30 Platinum weapons, vendors and upgrade would be the same thing of r&c 1 with gold weapons it would be cliche

[@WinVisten]

The Battle Sphere refers to the Jamming Array orbiting Maktar Nebula. That's where that shortcut leads in the final game, even on the American version.

[@MyLittleNinjaXD]

Thanks so much for these videos man, you put so much content into them. I gotta say so sincerely that I'm so fucking glad that those attack ships on Grelbin don't exist... if they attacked alongside the yetis and the leviathans it would've been total hell, especially for getting all the moonstones. Also all that unused helpdesk audio at the end was kinda sounding like a creepy propaganda ad lmao

[@somebloke9067]

It's a shame we never got the final space battle with the orbital defences considering it's referenced in the game and all

[@richterman3962]

Interrupting Pigeon yea that's true, wish never cut these op weapons either, it's the last game that u can actually beat it with just the wrench and default weapons

[@jpward01]

8:40 "TEAMWORK: Together, we can find someone else to blame..." Just perfect! xD

[@ReccquiemBST]

"Please stop." "Not nice." "Getting angry." "Payback time." This text was actually featured in the game. If you smack the tourists on Todano long enough, these message boxes appear on the help menu.

[@disasterarea9341]

lmao really, that's awesome. I wonder if there's a video of it anywhere

[@ReccquiemBST]

I could upload a video.

[@kirbyleggington7205]

The fire from the Flame Boots looks like hot Cheeto dust.

[@LunaLyonsSakura]

At 12:47, I've heard it on time in french version of the game (it was also translated in french version by the french voice), without understanding where it come from. Just between the loading screen and the ship landing on Yeedil. I never heard it again after...

[@UsagiMaddie]

I knew there had to be a cut section preceeding Yeedil. This video confirms it.

[@pejnismiggle]

20:15 - 20:23 I get both of those ones in game all the time.

[@CrashRatchet008]

Hey there! Have you ever tried analyzing the PAL version of the PS2 game to see if it is possible to find the subtitles in that version? On PSVita, there are fully working subtitles, but it's basically impossible to record from it.

[@imjustatester4576]

Nice job! There are more two leftovers on the demo: The Morph-o-ray (you can equip it) and the Suck Cannon (maybe it's model is missing because when you try to equip it the game crashes). "Thank you for you purchase!"

[@RYNOCIRATOR_V5]

i must say i'm quite sad that the attack ship was cut, that thing looks really cool and would of added a nice bit of variety to Greblin. The weapons too, that laser mine launcher looks like a loot of fun, not sure about the fire boots, looks like it could be boarderling broken OP against melee only units, still fun though.

[@aidenliveandreloaded2522]

17:48

[@marsil602the2nd]

Maybe i'm mandella-ing here, but I'm pretty sure all those enemies from monsterpedia do exist in-game; the giant mech is the one from the clank fight; the troopers are in Megacorp HQ, and the ships fly around in the Thugs-4-Less homeworld, although i assume they were treated like props and not enemies.

[@marsil602the2nd]

I never imagined the splines being that complex! Very impressive to think that there aren't any real 'paths' for objects to take so instead, the developers painstakingly changed the values for each movement.

[@racoononinternet2132]

How did you manage to get all of this? Can you extract the .wad audio files? I'd really like to try this myself

[@RCLombax]

I'm pretty sure we got this build a few years ago off of somebody who was nice enough to share it with us after holding onto it for years. I no longer have the ISO on my PC but I know it is available online (as well as a few other Ratchet & Clank builds) with a little bit of searching. As for the audio files, I'm pretty sure I used an old program called 'PSound' that reads files for playstation audio files, you can drop the wads or the whole ISO into it.

[@thisisasupersayin376]

Yeah I get why the fire boots and laser mines were cut. They feel like something where instead of having a happy space between impractical and overpowered, the two somehow overlap 13:10 ...Hey, you don't mutant protopet on Grelbin 23:46 more like slayy cognito

[@ales141]

5:40 Some of the dialogue clearly got cut so just to account for players that didn't get Clank, but they forgot that the Thug 4 Less leader still talks like there are two people even though there's only Ratchet. Always thought this was odd so it's cool to see it finally cleared up

[@acezunaki217]

I beat every ratchet clank game i had cept ps4 remake one more to go

[@sonicthehedge]

I wonder why the fire boot weren't never well UNLOCKED (also the laser mines) i mean it has the code and everything just it's not present without hacking. I mean it also doesn't appear in the insomniac museum so something is telling me they don't show everything that was cut or make up fake cuts idk

Not sure if there’s any actual pnach cheats for them either, that works on the Sept 4th beta anyway.
