*More details are in the description,* but first: This is raw footage I was recording just for the sake of it - not as something I intended to show for content - so there may be brief pauses in the action...or moments where I'm screwing around and dying just to see if there's a way to cheese through some bits. Also, the Randomizer currently has a number of bugs, such as one of the Clank doors on Orxon not opening. The program you use to load the Randomizer has a togglable noclip option for situations like this, as you'll see when I jump through that door; that's the only cheat I used in this playthrough, since I couldn't progress without the Clank Infobot behind the bugged door.

“How about a Helipack upgrade?” Ratchet, who had just acquired the Thruster Pack not 3 minutes ago:

"Okay! This won't hurt a bit!" *Gives him Magnetboots*

My favourite part of this randomiser is how Ratchet finds Captain Qwark washed up and down on his luck on Oltanis, presumably helps fund him to get off the planet and back on his feet by buying a product that's clearly not what it was advertised as (but is still pretty useful) only for Captain Qwark to betray him later on.

It would have been cool if the Randomizer randomized the enemies on each planet, but I also figure it would severely mess with the programming too.

The game is hard coded to only allow enemies already referenced in the level to exist.

The way the Randomizer works is fascinating as a workaround - to super layman's terms it, it's loading in a set of parameters via a PC program remotely connected to your PS3 over the local network. So the game files aren't changing almost whatsoever, it's just changing a couple pieces of text here or there remotely so that you earn more bolts, and so that the actual items you collect are different. That's why the Infobot cutscenes don't change! I have a feeling we won't see another way to randomize R&C for a long time given how precisely coded the PS2 games were; any tiny change would completely upset the whole game somehow.

Ratchet: Now we know where he is. Let's get him! Also Ratchet: *proceeds to the planet Drek abandoned*

Sure is a good thing you got the Hologuise immediately then got Drek's Fleet right after!

An attempted plot summary Ratchet finds clank on Veldin, and they travel to Kerwan. On Kerwan, Ratchet finds a faulty Gadgetron Vendor that’s selling a Hologuise and purchased it for free. He then takes on Helga’s Obstacle course, after completing it she makes him pay for a crudely installed Thruster Pack. Ratchet then goes to Al’s Robo Shack, where Al ensures that Helga’s instillation of the pack is done correctly, then gives Ratchet a pair of Magneboots. They take a train back to their ship and find an Infobot containing coordinates for Drek’s Fleet. On the way to Drek’s Fleet they discover that the ship has the ability to transform and they change it to a faster model. They sneak through Drek’s Fleet around his security robots and find an infobot containing coordinates for Planet Orxon. They transform the ship again on the way to Orxon. Clank goes to explore as the atmosphere is toxic and could kill Ratchet without proper protection. Clank finds and installs the parts for a Hydro Pack on himself, has a dream where him and Ratchet break reality at Drek’s fleet, Then finds an infobot containing coordinates for Planet Novalis. They once again transform the ship on the way to Novalis and search for survivors. A ship comes flying out of orbit and crashed into the pair’s ship and they find they have to get a replacement. Ratchet finds another faulty Gadgetron Vendor that is selling the O2 mask for free. The chairmen offers them a new ship and provides an infobot containing coordinates for Batallia. They then search the cave/sewer system and find the Plumber who gives them an infobot for Kalebo III. The pair returns to Drek’s Fleet to swim through the water tanker that is for some reason electrified, at the end they find a can of premium nanotech just sitting around. The pair returns to Orxon to explore together, and Ratchet finds a faulty Premium Nanotech Vending Machine that dispenses a Metal Detector and a pair of Grindboots that were carelessly jammed inside. The pair then travels to Batalia, where Ratchet gets a Swingshot and a Trespasser from another Faulty Vendor. They then find a deserter hanging around an isolated platform, who gives them an infobot for Eudora. The Pair then travels through the jungle where they meet the commando who gives them an infobot for Oltanis. They then make their way through the compound and to the turret platform, where they help the plumber shoot down the Blarg Bombers, the Plumber gives them a map-o-matic for their troubles. The two travel to Eudora, Ratchet acquires a Sonic Summoner. The two explore Eudora and find a Devastator lying around. Then they confront Drek’s Lieutenant and he give them an infobot for the Blarg Tactical Station. The two then travel to Kalebo III, where they meet the Help Desk Girl, who gives them A Morph-O-Ray. Then they head to the BTS. Where Ratchet Buys a Decoy Glove. Then they explore outside the space station and find a Walloper lying around. Then they explore a nearby ship and cause it to self destruct, escaping just before it explodes. They acquire an infobot for Gaspar. The two explore the rest of the station and fight through the experiments and find a survivor who sells them a Tesla Claw. Then they return to Orxon once more and find an Infobot for Hoven. The pair travel to Gaspar and Ratchet gets a Suck Cannon from the vendor and a Glove of Doom that was lying around. Then they travel to Hoven, Ratchet buys a Mine Glove, then gets a Hydrodisplacer from a roughneck whose drill he repaired. They then visit the mechanic and make sure the Hydro Pack is properly installed, and she gives them some leftover raritanium that she had. The two save the planet and get an Infobot for Umbris. They travel to Oltanis, which Ratchet must explore alone due to the storm. Ratchet explores the ruins and finds a Hoverboard. Then finds Captain Quark posing as a Gadgetron employee. Ratchet Purchases a Bolt Grabber from him. Ratchet further explores the city and finds a survivor who sells him an infobot with coordinates to Aridia. The two travel to Aridia, and help Skid Mcmarx, who gives them a codebot for their troubles. They explore Aridia and find a Blaster. Then they travel to Umbris to confront Quark about his crime of identity theft. Quark escapes and the two have to fight the Snagglebeast. After defeating the Snagglebeast they find an infobot for Quartu. The two go to Quartu to explore. They find a Platinum Zoomerator, and go back to Aridia to meet with Skid’s former agent to try to bribe him. He gives them a pilot’s helmet. The two go back to Quartu to investigate the rumours of the heavily armed mechs. They destroy the mechs and the engineer gives them an infobot for Pokitaru. They explore the secure section of the factory, and clank’s mom gives them an infobot for Rilgar. The two travel to Rilgar, and participate in an illegal underground Hoverboard race where Ratchet wins a Persuader. They then purchase a RYNO from the smuggler. They Also Bribe Quark’s bodyguard to give up his location at the Gemlik Base. The two travel back to Kalebo III, and participate in a legit hoverboard race hosted by Gadgetron, where they win a Heli-Pack Upgrade. The two travel to Pokitaru to save the planet. But not before investigating the sewers and trading the raritanium for a can of Ultra Nanotech. They then escort the tour guide to the jet fighter and buy a Drone Device from Bob after he ensures that the Heli-Pack is installed correctly. The guide rewards the two with a Gadgetron PDA for saving the planet. Then the two travel to the Gemlik Base to confront Quark once and for all and to put a stop to his illegal actions. They then find an infobot containing coordinates for where Drek has placed his new super weapon on Veldin. The two stop Drek and save the Galaxy.

I love that people are still playing the first R&C titels, to this day

As someone who plays OOT randos all the time, this is awesome

Something I learned on this: Weapons that are not bought from a vendor don’t drop ammo from crates! So if you say find anything with an ammo count (which basically means any weapon that’s not the Suck Cannon, Taunter, Walloper, or Morph-o-Ray) off something other than the Vendor, the only way to refill ammo is from vendors or the PDA. I’ve yet to see if this counts for the RYNO, as I’ve yet to see it available from one of the 11 vendor spots, but that’s why you never saw ammo drops for the likes of the Devastator, Tesla Claw, Glove of Doom, Blaster, or the Drone Device.

I would suggest refreshing, because there's no desync on my end here across two browsers and accounts! Keep in mind that the digital PAL version of R&C1 (which is the only version with which the randomizer works) is likely going to suffer occasional desyncs of probably no more than 15 frames here or there just due to being a questionably optimized PAL version running at the NTSC's 60fps instead of its original 50fps. That might be what you were noticing it if it wasn't just KZread acting up with your browser.

It's not that the PS3 itself needs to be PAL region, it's that the digital copy of the game needs to be a PAL copy. You can set up an alt-region PSN account on PS3 just fine with a burner email, although now you'd need to load PSN funds onto your account on another system first (or buy a PSN card physically and redeem it on PS3) I believe. This run is on an NTSC (US) fat PS3, the same one I used to record the first 70 R&C games for the retrospectives!
