Ratchet & Clank - E3 Demo Differences - REMASTERED

[@RCLombax]

Oops! 🤦 Slight grammar slip at 0:35 - it should be 'were' instead of 'we're' and 'and' instead of 'a'! Let’s just call it a beta feature! Thanks for sticking with me!

[@mr.marvin]

That thruster pack side jump could've been very useful in the final game.

@@RCLombax almost like the Phantom Dash.

[@OmniXr]

Worst decision ever to remove the side thruster move, would've been a really good viable way to actually strafe lmao

[@andreapareti324]

8:16 "Enemies"!?! So a Monsterpedia like the one in 2 was planned for this title as well! Oh, how much I would have loved it.

[@RCLombax]

Same! I was working on a method to open these extra menus but I couldn't figure out the correct values!

[@MR_HAYS1]

just when you thought the mine glove couldn't get much worse and then you see the demo version lol

[@RCLombax]

Lol yes! Terrible tier weapon

[@imafreakinninja12]

I wish we had some footage of The Adventures of Ratchet and Clank, when Novalis took place at night and other really old footage, like before Ratchet had stripes.

[@AlryFireBlade]

I would pay to be able to play the first version, where the game was beatable.

[@RCLombax]

Yo I would pay FAT STACKS to get a build of that game! If any ex-Insomniacs or beta testers or even journalists have a copy of that game hit me up! PLEASE!

[@DarthVader19991]

So I guess the R&C demo on the included demo disc with PS2s back in the day, is an amalgamation of the E3 demo and the final version, because even though the disc demo has some extra stuff the E3 demo hasn't, it still isn't just like the final version of the released game. What a world!

[@RCLombax]

Yeah these demo and E3 versions are quite similar to other Beta versions we also have! Although I do believe that the E3 Demo is the earliest version of the game we have, which kind of sucks as it's still not as early as some versions seen in various trailers and things like that. Also the E3 Demo is only like 700mb in size so it's missing a TON of stuff

[@Jagerbomber]

I wish somebody had the original teaser trailer for the Remake Game that leaked online and disappeared. It took place in the secret room which was not surrounded by other buildings in the trailer. Also in the remake game in that room I still can't help but think there's a secret in that room because of the plant watering sign and pool, but the Hydrodisplacer doesn't seem to do anything. I hoped it unlocked the teaser trailer because it's not in the museum.

[@bleedingcuppajoe]

....Today i learned there was a RPG like menu before the one innthe final...And a cool taunter that shoots references. God dang thats so cool...I WANT IT

[@bobafett4265]

I can see why they cut the one liners as part of the taunter, a licensed nightmare.

[@Ratchetti]

The original/placeholder Drek sounded like Jim Ward

[@bobafett4265]

It wouldn't shock me if that were the case, he was already on board to play Qwark so him filling in for the role at least as a placeholder is entirely possible, I wonder if Jim is still around or anyone can confirm that is his voice.

[@normietwiceremoved]

Drek's original voice actor sounds eerily similar to Paul Giamatti's protrayal

[@bellumzeldads106]

0:49 Initially the crates are here too, they have been moved in the void and fall immediatly, that is why the are hidden behind the platform

[@radditsu]

i love those little ratchet facts and i would love to see more content too :D

[@RCLombax]

Aight more content it is then!

[@gamers_mate5680]

Nice reminds me of when you could get ps2 Demo DIscs. I remember playing a slightly updated version of the demo that takes you to Rilgar as the second planet instead of Eudora. There was also a shortcut in the demo which involved jumping into a certain wall on RIlgar to skip some of the level.

[@normietwiceremoved]

I loe your graphics so much, making it look like the original games UI.

[@RCLombax]

Haha thanks, it's the small details right?

[@Casketkrusher_]

The Wanted posters make sense, I believe when you visit Metropolis, Drek doesn't even know Ratchet exists (correct me if I'm wrong.)

[@RCLombax]

I believe when Ratchet and Clank take off from Veldin that Drek tells Qwark that "This could be a problem, take care of it" So maybe he DID know about Ratchet's existence?

[@bobafett4265]

@@RCLombax so that could explain why the wanted posters were supposed to show up around then but then cut for the obvious reason where there's one in Big Al's Shop and he doesn't acknowledge it nor rats out our Buddy Cop Duo, still though I think they could've kept it in, they could've just give Al some extra lines acknowledging the wanted poster, saying he's not a Narc and he's aware of the Blarg problem.

[@RCLombax]

On this day, SEVEN years ago I published the original version of this video! I did that video in one day and it really shows! After finding out that I still had all of the original footage and project files for this video I decided it would be a cool idea to remaster it! So no more are the HORRIBLE spelling / grammatical errors! (Mostly!) I've also thrown in a bunch of NEW footage in this video! See if you can tell where the new footage is... It's not hard at all to see it 😂 But that's enough yapping out of me! I hope you all enjoy the video and the extra love / polish I put into it, let me know if you'd like to see any other older videos get this treatment! (Providing I still have the original footage) and if I don't have the OG footage! I can always re-record it anyway... So yeah! Let me know if you'd like to see more vids like this and I hope you guys all enjoy this one! Peace ✌

[@cokifunki]

I'd love more videos like this one!

[@RCLombax]

@@cokifunki Bet!!

[@bobafett4265]

I would love to see more videos like this, especially if or whenever the earlier builds of R&C 1 start to get shown publicly let alone playable could be some fun videos to make comparing the old versions with the released ones.

[@RCLombax]

@bobafett4265 oh man I’d LOVE for some earlier builds to drop one day! Anything earlier than this E3 build would literally be a dream! I doubt they’ll ever surface but I’m still hopeful

[@bobafett4265]

@@RCLombax I feel it's possible too many people involved in that project for a build we haven't seen or played being available on someone's aging computer drive, plus it wouldn't shock me if Insomniac has some of the Pre Release Builds of R&C 1 somewhere archived including the ones we know little about. Not to mention weirder things have happened in the world as far as lost media goes, Twisted Metal Harbour City that well known lost sequel to Twisted Metal Black got found and working more recently and it shed a lot of light on what the mysterious project was and what it became.

[@Skehrcros]

I actually prefer the old Suck Cannon HUD, and that sideways dash seems like it would have been useful in a lot of spots. The cutscenes when you talk to an NPC a second time or if you don't have enough bolts is really cool. I assume these scenes were taken out of the final release because of memory limitations, it must have been pretty tight considering the soundtrack is all in mono (aside from the few demo clips in the main menu).

[@RCLombax]

Yeah no idea why the soundtrack is in mono actually, as all the soundtracks in the games that followed have been in stereo... Even in the beta versions of this game the soundtracks we're in stereo... Very odd choice by Insomniac there!

[@Skehrcros]

@@RCLombax Must've been due to limitations of storage and compression tech around 2001-2002, maybe if R&C1 released just a year later the OST might have been able to fit all on the disc in stereo. I also just realised that Clank's eyes changing colour depending on your HP is similar to how Sparx in the Spyro games would indicate your HP.

[@xehP]

I remember playing a similar version on the demo disc the PS2 came with

[@jacksonschofield4135]

Always awesome of see you upload please continue

[@RCLombax]

Yes sirrr!

[@monte_2000]

That Thruster pack side jump looks dope. Would have really elevated the combat options imo.

[@nchldmn]

Wow I never noticed clanks eyes turn yellow lol. Do they turn red if ratchet dies?

[@RCLombax]

Only red when he gets hit, which I'm not sure happens in the final game or not...

[@TerraFuu]

Wow, nice clean video layout too. Good stuff.

[@Kalcifior]

Will you make a video on the unreachable gold bolt on blackwaree city in the demo ? I saw video on KZbin where you can have it with simple glitch and do it myself. This gold bolt is in the same area of novalis in the final game ith few difference. I would like to saw this in your video ! ❤

[@RCLombax]

Here's another video from almost 7 years ago covering the exact topic! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKnXq2WKgM6jsNk Skip to 3:22 to see it (I'll probably remaster this video next!)

[@Casketkrusher_]

I remember playing the shit outta the demo, it got Black Water City and Metropolis. It also had the beta bolt hud I believe.

bro why did they change the taunter tho would have been cray hilar

Are there any developer clips where they talk about the game?

[@RCLombax]

I can't find a lot online about the development of Ratchet & Clank 1, maybe Mike has some stuff with Tealgamemaster where he talks about his time as a tester on the game but that is likely all
