To this day it's the only game I'd be ok with playing multiple times. I got the PS3 remaster years ago and played that. Hopefully we get a remake or a sequel at some point.

@@MatthewStevensOrMattDave The co-op is good and well balanced. It surprises me too. It may be more shooter than platformer/less experimenting minigames and such like the past titles but that is a good thing. Some games need that and we got many games with the original format do I say why not for 1 entry. I like it though. I prefer 2 for mainline but it's a good side direction and the mods/alpha mods are a great system I want back and not the Raritanium system they keep giving us since Tools that I have hated since Tools came out. Then again people love Crack In Time and to me it's very different in a good way and people love it. I assume story wise as the moon levels/structure I think is great when there is very few story planets. But Insomniac didn't get the memo people like that of us that likes the gameplay only taking the story into consideration with the whole 'go back/deboot back' but we can't forget the reimagining audience of course. So they made later games too Tools of Destruction then Crack In Time but include Crack in Time boots and things but the rest as Tools Raritanium weapon skill trees and such. Things I don't know if fans care but I get sick of seeing. I don't like Tools carryovers. Nexus was a short game it made sense but I hated it in Reimagining and do in Rift Apart. Fans praise Crack in Time but they ignore the change. What studio does that. I can't think of a single game where fans praise it and the studio goes 'we will ignore the praise' or go 'thats too much effort' or that's what I interpret their response of not including it again in later entries. Again who ignores that when we praise it oh right. They ignore core fans sometimes and think about the not responding audience that doesn't talk back or think about certain areas of the game design and makes those elements happen then what I assume fans did ask for from Crack in Time not the pick and choose like it's some remix title when it feels like that to me at least with the odd decisions of gadget returns and certain game design. I don't know for sure the fanbase is big no clue who cares for what. Besides the OG series responses. Or those with story care than gameplay care.

Reducing the weapon count was one of the best things the game did. Every gun is useful and means something, plus, as you said, the mods are so good and really allow for a personal armoury.

There is some hidden bonus skins you can get. Ones from the java phone game called going mobile And a jak skin if you have jak x on your save on ps2.

Funny story about that four level difficulty setting, there’s a fifth one that unlocks with challenge mode. I’m sure just about everyone here knows that, but the weird thing is if you restart your game on the normal mode without challenge mode. It turns out you still have that five star difficulty setting even though you don’t have the challenge mode weapons. Me and my friend regularly restarted the game every month or so when we had a chance to hang out again. Mind you we’re both veterans of the series by this point but we’re still getting wiped every now and again and multiple times on some challenges. Took awhile before we realized that you’re not supposed to be able to play on that difficulty without challenge mode weapons. My friend was not happy with me screwing us over every time by restarting the game every time on the 5 star difficulty without the weapons made for that mode. Had a great time tho, speaking of which best co-op out of the entire series

It's the SBB! Now it's a party!

i remember when my mom bought me Ratchet and Clank for my PS2 years ago for my birthday. She said "The guy at the store said it was really popular with boys your age." I got the worst feeling from hearing her say that... which only made playing the game that much more of a pleasant surprise! (I should've learned my lesson when my mom bought me Donkey Kong Country some years earlier, and I had similar doubts.) In my opinion, the Ratchet and Clank series was the greatest franchise the PS2 had to offer, and every game was worth playing in it's own right: Ratchet 1 had, by far, the best environments. Everything else after that felt derivative in some way (reaching it's lowest point in Deadlocked). It had a solid identity as a platformer but the replay value was kinda "meh" considering the unlocks were golden guns which, while cool, weren't anything to write home about. (The R.Y.N.O. in this game was my second favourite. Ratchet 2 was groundbreaking for the series, setting the precedent for RPG-style character progression. Upgrading weapons by using them was intuitive and satisfying--i mean, who didn't love having your favourite guns get even better as you used them? The only real weaknesses of this game, for me, were exposed over time, as i found the plot kinda forgettable (if not annoying at times) and the upgrade system wasn't incredibly fleshed out. Ratchet 3 is by far one of my favourite games of all time. While I can respect the criticisms presented in this video of the game, the reasons they gave were exactly why it resonated with me: it was unabashedly goofy and had some of everyting. Classic platforming/puzzle sections. Arena battles. A friggin sidescroller, even! Every concept that was presented in RC2 was fleshed out and polished in ways i loved. In the end, I'm not surprised there's lots of people who don't agree with me, but this was my personal "peak" in the series. I would describe Deadlocked as "decadent," like chocolate cake. Looking at it makes your mouth water: it's Ratchet and Clank boiled down to the nitty gritty and cranked up to 11. 99 levels for every gun! with customization! upgrades galore! constant action! the plot was serviceable as well, and yet, like chocolate cake, I found myself having a few forkfuls and staring down the rest of the giant slice i had greedily placed onto my plate. There was a distinct lack of substance, of true savoriness. I'll never say the game was bad, but I always saw it as a spinoff... i never really accepted it as a true-to-heart Ratched and Clank game. After playing Size Matters and some of the PS3 release (i can't even remember the title, it was that forgettable... got it bundled with a PS3 controller. isn't that sad? Ratchet, demoted to a tie-in bonus with hardware, like Wii Play) I felt quite a bit of sadness. Enough to make this long-ass post in the comments section for a youtube video. That said, while I'm sad the series stagnated, I don't really despair. I have all the games and an old-fashioned fatty PS2 in the cupboard ready and waiting should I ever want to play them again. The games have aged well, and in an era which gave us countless classics, I'll always hold R&C in the highest regard. If you're still reading at this point, thanks. I hope you have a great day!

Whole screens of enemies, turned to dust in a single trigger pull. haven't found a weapon in any game that really compares since.

The Badass armor design, the buddy robots, Splitscreen co-op and the spider tank, so many good memories of this game. And I still remember my favorite mission where you got faster and faster as you killed enemies. Deadlocked/Gladiator is definitely in my top 3 Ratchet & Clank games as it was a breath of fresh air after the first 3 games. (Similar deal as with Jack X)

I absolutely adore Deadlocked's music! The overall grungy feel of it, makes it really stand out amongst the other games in the series. It's my favourite out of all of Ratchet & Clank and I'm glad we share the same opinion!

The thing I love most about this game is how it absolutely *nailed* the tone; even though a fuzzy little guy is running through a gameshow course with the hosts slinging one-liners, yet it still manages to channel that kind of grit that so many other AAA games wish they could get their hands on.

@@zemmig nah, totes recommend it. Got hooked on the satisfying traversal mechanics, the combat was pretty streamlined but still fun enough to carry you until the end. It's a really good game, get it if you own a PS4. Insomniac delivers yet again.

Gladiator was by far my favourite R&C game. The gameplay is just so visceral and fulfilling, and it really cuts the fluff from the rest of the series. It's also just plain hilarious and honestly has one of the best scripts in the series. Those announcers, as much as their lines are repeated, are so good. I hate that this game is so often relegated to black sheep status, even by the developers iirc.

I got it for free with FFA and I still felt cheated. Deadlocked may not be the most popular of the franchise, but it didn't deserve to be slapped together like that. I've even heard of save data corrupting at launch too. All of the original Ratchet games remastered for PS3 seemed to get pretty shoddy treatment, yet I hear almost no one talking about it (most people I meet didn't even know Deadlocked got onto PS3). I've been able to get consistent glitches to pop, often requiring death or closing the game to sort out.

whatevruminator - The game is 720p. It probably just upscales to 1080p for you.

I loved deadlocked, but for some reason the third game just resonated with me. I loved the weapons so much and the gameplay in new game plus felt even more rewarding than the normal game for some reason. I was so excited to se how the weapons would evolve as I fought with them. And they provided a good incentive to not get hit aside from keeping your health. I also loved the comedy in that game like crazy. It was right up my ally as a kid. It was just my kind of game.

I remember seeing the tv ad for this with my parents, leading to them buying the game for me when it came out

For me the best part was the vast amount and varying types of gadgets and weapons that sold the game. Dreadlocked was lacking in this department.

Favorite part of deadlock was seeing how hard I could get my PS2 to chug on that dread challenge where everything got faster as you killed enemies. Swear I could smell the plastic melting on that challenge.

I literally, with a friend, replayed this game 23 times on just one file. It was fun.

I remember not coping with Deadlocked as a child so well, it felt different and had a different vibe for me than the original trilogy. However, after a few years of getting gud, I decided to go back and try this game for real and I had an absolute blast with it! I hope more people give Deadlocked a fair chance and don't disqualify it just because it lacks Clank and the usual Ratchet formula.

Great job on another great video gamingbrit. Deadlocked actually got accepted into Summer Games Done Quick this year, so it'll be the first time at a GDQ we'll see a deadlocked runner pull off a great live run.

Aaaah Ratchet: Deadlocked. How could you forget the split screen story multiplayer, After you beat the game you get a jak skin so you can turn this game into uh lets say Ratchet and Jak Deadlocked. Ratchet and clank 3 is great and all... Ratchet deadlocked as well... but Ratchet and clank 2 is my personal favorite game and it introduced many great weapons like Lava gun, Plasma coil, Blitz gun, Gravity bomb which become mini nuke... lets not forget the best one "Shield Charger" which became a main stream weapon!

Not long after I played this one, I played the 2nd one. That was also amazing. Then Deadlocked came out. And it was my favorite thing ever. I played one save file so many times my bolt count got maxed. It was like a thing to do. Get home from school, procrastinate homework, then play through Deadlocked once.

This was the first video game I had ever played, got it for Christmas along with a PS2 in 2005. SO much nostalgia around this game, love it to death.

But you have yet to make a video (as far as I'm aware of) about the 2nd (and my personal favorite) Ratchet and Clank game: Going Commando! I would love to see a video about it! I mean you've already talked about 1, 3, 4 and 1rebooted, so fits to finish it all off, and talk about the 2nd one aswell right? Your choice of course, but I just think it could be cool to see!

Ratchet deadlock was my favorite game of all time as a kid I replayed that game so many times with my brother it was so good

I literality just beat this game last week lol. I played the ratchet and clank game that was free on the ps store and liked it, but it also reminded me of Deadlocked so I replayed it and really enjoyed how much more mature that game was compared to the recent one.

I swear this is my favorite game in the series so thank you for this video! You just gained yourself a subscriber as well. Keep up the great videos. 👍
