  • Usually when a game series gets popular enough, it get a spin-off game. These games are important because they allow developers to experiment with different ideas and mechanics. In this video I talk about my favourite spin-off of all time, Ratchet Deadlocked)

    What’s your favourite spin-off game?

      Either Overlord: dark legend, or ratchet gladiator. These games are amazing!

      I almost wouldn't call Deadlocked a spin off.

      Aside from Metal Gear Rising, probably the MegaMan Legends series if it counts.
      Considering how vastly different they are to most of the series, being 3D adventure games with lite sandbox and even RPG elements, as opposed to 2D side scrolling action games where you choose an order of stages to go through and fight bosses to get their weapons or powers, I’d say it does. They’re also set so far beyond the other games storywise that they barely connect outside some nods to other games here and there.

    Deadlocked isn't a spin off it's actually mainline and the game is canon. Just cause the creators didn't talk about it doesn't mean it's non canon.

    This was one of my favorites in the series, I played it through so many times, I had everything memorized, from goals, to enemy placement.
    I upgraded everything to max, even the shield.
    I need to revisit this one someday.

  • @Drazler501
    @Drazler501 Год назад +13

    Great vid. I also love Deadlocked, but sadly Insomniac those days are focused on the "looking like a beatiful Pixar movie" tone instead of a dark one, like Deadlocked was.
    I think they should return to the level of edginess that the first three Ratchet and Clank games had, since they are a good mid point in the tone between the modern Ratchet games and Deadlocked.

  • @Migiiiii
    @Migiiiii Год назад +7

    It was a good game, I think critics were afraid this meant the next games would take the same "edgier/combat only" approach, thus the scores at the time

    I've played many precious gems on the PS1 and PS2 and out of all of them, there was something about to utter chaos and vibe about Ratchet: DEADLOCKED. Forgive me RaC fans but I've never played any other games apart from deadlocked but I'm thankful to have had [and still own] this absolute masterpiece of a game. AND ITS A SPIN OFF?! They don't make games like this anymore.
    It would be so nice to have this game remastered in today's graphics and not change a flipping thing except the soundtrack, now WHOA WHOA hear me out. What I mean is, look up a guy called Remstage who has made quite a few metal/djenty covers of Deadlocked's Soundtrack. If we can get bangers like that pouring through our speakers and headphones while playing a remastered Deadlocked, life is complete and childhood returns in glorious fashion! Hope y'all look remstage up, good stuff. And thank the Heavens I found this video, here's a sub bro!

    it's so good to see people apreciate Ratchet Deadlocked more and more recently, i thought i had nostalgia googles on but now i got back into it and it's still insanely fun to play after all these years, this time finished the game with all challenges on 5 stars and all the skill points and still want to keep playing, this game is just so much fun to play for some reason

    But this isn't a spin off...what makes you think it is? The platforming? If so then any game ahead has less platforming the first game, so are those spin offs?
    In general, you still have bosses to fight, weapons to upgrade and missions, just like UYA.
    oh, and the multiplayer is pretty amazing too.

    So i guess my brain just always blended up your arsenal and dead locked into one game! I loved up your arsenal all the levels come right back to me seeing them again, but daaaaamn deadlocked was so good and i forgot how much was in that game! I can remember having a friend in high school who never got to play dead locked and we dusted off my ps2 and played that game for like 3 days straight. Game has so much vibe and fun story but also some serious replayability, everything that was a challenge in that game we beat, and i completely forgot about co op!

  • @5persondude
    @5persondude Год назад +1

    I’ve dreamed of some kind of spiritual successor to Deadlocked that could use Keyboard and Mouse controls 🤤 I guess Insomniac’s own Sunset Ovderdrive is *_kinda_* similar but not only is the PC port for it terrible (thanks Blind Squirrel), but the game itself is pretty mediocre outside of the core gameplay loop

  • @tman8876
    @tman8876 3 месяца назад

    Try playing it on pcsx2. Faster load times, HD texture support, true widescreen, retro achievements, 1080p, very hairy. You can even run it with an OC on the emulated ps2 so it doesn't dip to 30fps in heavy areas like on real hardware. 180% has been flawless for me. This is how I've been replaying the whole series and it's what I always wished the ps3 remasters were.

      I’d say so considering the fact it’s spinning off from the Ratchet AND Clank series and its just called Ratchet Deadlocked. Also Insomniac just kinda ignore this game so idk if its even canon lol

    Gladiator (or Deadlocked, as the americans say) was my first ever R&C game and I fuckin' loved it, I hold huge nostalgia for it and the only thing stopping me from playing it again is the fact I can't seem to get an emulated version past the tutorial
    This game had a competitive multiplayer mode too, I remember playing that way too much
    Oh yeah the only other one I've played is tools of destruction lol

    Deadlock is a spin off???? I always thought something like size matters or secret agent clank would be considered a spin off since both aren’t really cannon and tried new things and ideas with the limitations of the psp

  • @pscoolguy
    @pscoolguy 3 месяца назад

    On PS 2, this game has A LOT of problems with freezing, endless load loops and save fails.
    Several times I had to stop playing it out of frustration because it saved my completed level progress but erased my earned badges, weapons, armor upgrades, and bot upgrades.
    It’s been very frustrating and disappointing!!!
    Also, they offer about 10 skins, but popular characters such as Qwark, the NPCs of other R&C games, and interesting playable characters from other R&C titles are not available. Why??? The game makers already have the graphic skins from other titles! They should have mar them available!
