    The original Rac was a platformer first, shooter second, and it was an experiment. Insomniac didn't even know if it would be a hit. They even said the lack of strafing was something they overseen, and realized too late. Every other rac game has been a shooter first, platform second. I think this game has aged very well, sure i will agree that the controls are a bit wonky to it's other titles. But level design, writing, music to it's respective level, and athmosphere makes up for it. I think rac 1 had the best writing and level design than any other rac game, while Drek is my most favorite villain, i know Nefarious is the best one. Not saying the other rac games has bad writing or anything, i think they're great. But rac 1, had more paths to go, every level basically showcased a new enemy, nothing was overused. Going to a new level used to get you excited about what enemies you would encounter, it was more colorful and plesent scenery wise than 2 or 3. They learned from rac 1 what needed to be added to the other titles, they reworked weapon scalings and leveling it up, they reworked how the health worked, to make it feel more smooth and pleasent to play. And i think they succeded in that, very well. But rac 1 has it's charm, i think it has aged very well, maybe just not as well as 2, 3 or deadlocked. I go on about every little detail about the original triology, what they did better, worse, from it's previous title, but not gonna make an essay here.

    Finally got around playing this gem this summer after a really busy semester where i didn't had any free time play games at all. You weren't lying at all when you said Nayuta was one of the pinnacles of the PSP. Limited combat (by current action Falcom standards) aside, Its genuinely impressed me, one of the most fun games i played in a while, loved the comfy energy it gave me while playing it. The level design was very good for something that was made within the limitations of the PSP in mind. You'd think the season change mechanic is just to pad things out for content but they added a lot of new sections for each. The game also visually holds up surprisingly well by today standards, wish Falcom experimented more with with cel shading. Old handhelds games really were built different with how high quality they could cram in such limited hardware.

    You're a bit off on the ending. After Quark Ratchet only decided to prioritize going after Drek, he still hadn't accepted Clank as a friend. A character's entire personality changing after just one scene is just not very believable either. By the end he does accept though. What he said wasn't 'needlessly mean'. you actually almost had it, it was teasing the way a friend might. Like that was clear to me when I was a kid playing this.

  • @Kraftium

    This is part of the video I really regret not properly wording cos theres alot of people who think I'm saying something what that to me I'm not trying to say at all The stuff with ratchet's personality flipflopping is that because its capable to play certain worlds out of order it means you can get scenes from before quark betrays them and ratchets still being relatively nice to clank AFTER the point he starts being cold to him, its more of just a quirk of the open game design and not accounting for it As for the ending I say it "comes off as" being needlessly mean, its very obvious how that scene is meant to be pertrade but the specfic wording is just a little off and I've heard that different translations actually use the slight tweek I suggested (either way tho, that part of the video had no reason being in there in the first place, I only put it there cos I felt like the was a little too short. I kinda regret putting it in) I was more trying to make a case for the old voice actor that most people don't like to much, I actually think it suits ratchets personality for the first game to a tee and its nice to see the progression

    I disagree, this is the best one. None of the others came close to this one. Platformer at its peak. OG voice is best. Insomniac usually screws up a good formula like they did with spyro after the first one changing the platforming for puzzles. Going commando did the same trading platforming and a buddy cop comedy to shooter with two nerd buddies which are still fun but nowhere near as food as the first one.

    I haven't played demos in such a long time, I sort of recently did it with Promenade and Stellar Blade but I just don't have the enthuasim for them anymore especially how God of War Ascension came with a Last of Us demo that was pretty crap and it made me think the game was not going to be good, so while I prefer demos over trailers, track records and reviews, at the same time, they also don't do a 100% good job at selling you on a game. I'm not even sure if the Stellar Blade demo I talked about was any good, I was just confused by the whole thing. I did used to play them a lot in the early years of me being a PS3 gamer since games were hard to come by, but now it's harder to care. Demos to me are good in concept but there are too many variables to consider. As for emulation, it's rather amusing how Nintendo and Sega systems seem hard to emulate for. I primarily emulate Sony systems and occasionally a GBA game so it seems I never had much in the way of issues. Then again, Nintendo just proves that they are in fact the worst 1st party game company going today. Microsoft are just hilariously incompetent supervillains and Sony just seem to be complacent at where they are as of now since Switch is on it's way out.
