  • Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction was the highly anticipated first forray into the next generation for our favourite lombax and deathbot. But after dreaming of what this game could be, did we get the game we needed? Or the game we deserved? And all importantly, how does it hold up today?

    Tools and a crack in Time are the R&C games I played most as a kid I really wish they would remaster them or hopefully with the new PS plus service they can become available again sadly in australia you can't stream ps3 games so I hope they implement a way you can download them directly to your system. They have their flaws especially tools but I still love them to bits. Also keep up the hard work cobber I hope to see you continue to grow

      Mate tell me about it, I’m a long suffering Aussie myself (NSW) and am still upset that we get shafted again with the new ps plus tiers after already being skipped for ps now. Thank you as well mate, definitely putting my all into this channel, thanks for being on board! Lesgooo

      I had crazy nostalgia from playing those games as an 8 year old, and now at 18 those 2 games are the sole reason I rebought myself a ps3. And because of the nostalgia for the rnc games I have I can experience the whole ps3 catalog I never got to as a kid

    I missed these games when they came out. Super interesting to consider the context of the release of the console. Curious what that agreement looked like. Great vid!

      Thanks mate, I think for this one you kind of have to, it’s the only explanation why you get all this flash that feels a bit underwhelming from time to time. What agreement, despite only finishing editing this 2 hours ago, I already don’t remember what I said

    ToD feels like what insomniac wants the original trilogy plays and look. Like its the final form of the trilogy

    I had the chance to play the future series only 3 years ago when i finally bought an hard disk for my ps3 (it was a present for my 18th birthday and now i'm 26 and only played gta 5 because i couldn't afford an hard disk for myself) and this game was the first one i bought.
    This was a step foward to the future even in italian, because Ratchet original voice actor, didn't reprise his role and a new one took his place, and he remained until A Crack In TIme

    • @HowGoodGames
      @HowGoodGames  2 года назад

      Another great fact! I’m sure you probably know already, but the English voice actor was replaced after the first game and it’s been the same ever since. They made the change because of how they wanted to change how Ratchet came across and make him less edgy

      Thank you my friend, I actually struggled with this one a bit. It took me a while to even figure out what was making it feel different from the others, because from a ‘fun’ perspective it’s still right up there. Glad you agree mate!!

    I just replayed all 4 future games recently, these games are honestly very underrated compared to even something like crash wrath of cortex (not calling this a good game), like nobody talks about these games compared to the og trilogy as these games (my opinion) are so much better compared to them, graphics, artsytle, gameplay, story especially (except for the reason that ratchet and clank themselves have to be godlike beings in the story), the raritanium system is good but I wish theyd bring the deadlocked system back but they must think itd be too complicated for younger players nowadays, but other than that these are my favorite quadrilogy of games of all time and they should be talked about way more, and btw love the channel, good vid and cant wait for more.

      I've heard a lot of people saying a crack in time is maybe their favourite, so im very excited to keep going through them all. I just don't remember them very well, so I actually had a lot of fun with this game overall, obviously with all the points I made in my video as well though. The biggest bummer about the raritanium is in new game plus. Unlike bolts, Raritanium becomes almost immediately useless since it only really takes one playthrough to upgrade your weapons. I would have loved to have seen a similar system like with the challenge mode guns where you could have gotten more powerful and expensive upgrades, but unfortunately no dice. Thanks mate, really happy you're enjoying it!

    Tools Of Destruction is my favourite. The weapon upgrade-system is the best in this game (raritanium).
    Why is this not in A Crack In Time? It's also a great game but not as good as Tools Of Destruction is.
