Why Ratchet & Clank Full Frontal Assault & All 4 One Are The Weakest - Insomniac's Experiment Phase
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- We had gone from A Crack In Time's fantastic animation and visuals to a more "basic" looking Ratchet & Clank game. According to Insomniac Games, they were trying to experiment with the series, taking it to new routes.
Ratchet & Clank Full Frontal Assault and All 4 One, Although they were fun to play, they just didn't feel like the usual type of R&C game.

Remember when they had a trilogy for each generation? Yeah, good times
Still plenty of time in the current generation!
They could bring it back though :P
I also remember Deadlocked, Going Mobile, Size Matters, and Secret Agent Clank
All4one, Ffa, and nexus are a trilogy
Porygon13 All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault are spin offs. Nexus is a sequel to A Crack in Time.
I dont mind the models, the original trilogy's was probsbly my favourite. I just want a fleshed out full Ratchet & Clank game, no more reboots or shorter type games. A full game to continue the original story. unfortunately something like that probably wont happen anytime soon.
Hello Spidey Squad member! Long time :P Yeah I too would love if they continue with the original timeline. It's actually quite possible, seeing as how James Stevenson had mentioned that they would try and come up with ideas for EITHER post ITN or post PS4.
In two days the ganes for the PS5 will be revealed, and there should be a R&C game.
i dont need a continued series were ratchet looks more like a child and not grown up. look nexus. or now the sequel. why ratchet looks like this :/ i hope they changed this design what we see in the trailer. pls.
To be fair, A Quest for Booty and Into the Nexus were really fun, and had a fair bit of time in their stories, even if they were shorter.
Your in luck, Rift Apart is coming soon
I like the models from Tools of destruction and A crack in time the most. It would be really fun if they made the hover boots just like in A crack in time. The hover boots in Into the nexus are not good made.
Hover boots yass!!!! Very well executed in ACiT.
I found them pretty bad in ACiT (the worst ones actually) and those from ITN very nice. The best ones are in FFA (too stable unlike in ACiT in which moving across surfaces is too hard) but it's just my opinion.
They should of ended with acit. Tod, qfb, and acit were a perfect trilogy and they didn’t need to add nexus
@@dylanmanf6427 imo, ITN was pretty great, good story, good weapons and overall gameplay was fun, especially planet Thram which was a a sandbox level. If it was full length and had more weapons, for me, it would have been one of the best games in the franchise
Into the nexus
I love all 4 one I loved playing Local Multiplayer with My cousin and Friends online tbh i actually wanted a sequel to all 4 one
Cool :D
I will defend All 4 One every day of the week (not that it needs defending, but you get my point). I love it. Not only for its great gameplay. Not only for its multiplayer. Not only for its story. But especially for its Comedy! Every cutscene was hilarious and the in game character interactions when you have all 4 playing at once are to die for. And a large part of that is because they included Nefarious.
SuperWorldJumper I’m a die hard ratchet and clank and I too loved playing it , time and time again but it did eventually get boring for the simple fact of the lack of freedom. The story in my opinion was ok , I like the Loki spirit that was cool, but I believe people issue with all 4 one is mainly the animation from a crack in time. Surely all 4 one is fun but it’s got a more child like vipe than the high stakes a crack in time had. Don’t get me wrong I prefer not to compare games especially ps2 to ps3 because they are so different.
All 4 one is indeed enjoyable but lacks in terms of freedom
Thank you some understands meh
I have three siblings and it was an absolute joke to get someone in your vac-u and kill them
All 4 One > All
A Crack in Time is my favorite game for many reasons and one of them was Ratchet's armor in the game's cutscenes. It is my favorite in the series and what I use for his Magic of the Elements form. He looks alot older and more adult like and I love how it just looks on him (I find the helmet takes away from it though). I really hope they might possibly have it in other games where you can possible choose armors on your own or something.
He does look older in ACiT! Logically speaking it does make sense :)
Rac deadlocked also had Good armor look too.
To be honest in future Ratchet & Clank games Tower Defense should be in online mode
Or something Like Ratchet 3's Multiplayer.
I feel like they could've been better...
They could've! But they're not terrible.
VTNVIVI I agree. Maybe if FFA wasn't so short...
Those are not bad. It was 7 out of 10. But if they give the games more times to make it good, then it will be different story.
While I do admire what Insomiac were striving for with the series, it honestly was the series's lowest point, especially when we went from the mature and emotional themes of A Crack in Time (the future series in general) to a goofy, kidified concept that alienated veterans in favor of appealing to families.
Innovating a series is good, as long as it keeps the heart of the franchise during the process.
Let us look at Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker as its situation parallels Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One (beautiful name, Insomiac.👏) Like A Crack in Time, the predecessor to Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time was considered a masterpiece and fans wanted more of it just like how R&C fans wanted more games like ACiT. (Notice how both have to do with time btw.) Nintendo strive to experiment with the game and the kiddy looking Wind Waker came forth at E3. Zelda fans were outrage with this change and for a while it was ignored because of it looked childish. History repeated itself with All 4 One; the company wants to experiment, changes artstyle, and recived backlash.
However! Wind Waker and All 4 One suffer for being different, but alas the former actually gain momentum over the years and slowly won the hearts of its respective fans. Zelda fans grew to love WW and its goofy look, meanwhile A4O and FFA are sitting in a corner shunned by R&C fans.
Why is it that in one franchise the experiment paid off while the other they were ignored?
The differences to the success rate is actually simple. Wind Waker still kept the heart of its series while striving to be different. It was charming and was actually mature with emotional moments and serious tone while still being cheerful and a hardcore Zelda game. A4O/FFA lack the essence of what made the R&C series so great in the first place. You can literary swap out all the R&C cast in both games for random unrelated characters and it wouldn't make a difference. Its just doesn't feel like Ratchet and Clank. This may had hurt these games in the long run.
Experimentation is always good, as long as it still has the elements and heart of its core series.
Very detailed analysis thank you!
Welcome! As a fan of both game series I was honestly surprise that both franchises had the exact same scenario. I just had to point it out. And after playing both All 4 One and The Wind Waker back to back recently, its much more apparent why one succeeded over the other. Wind Waker felt true to its predecessors while trying something new, while All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault felt like random generic games. Like compare the opening cutscenes of A Crack in Time to All 4 One, you can see the downgrade in quality instantly.
A Crack in Time: ruclips.net/video/ZraLBqWFvBk/видео.html&pbjreload=10
All 4 One: ruclips.net/video/pM3ngW_7H-0/видео.html
And compare it with Full Frontal Assault's opening cutscenes with the Wind Waker's. FFA feels more random by Ratchet and Clank standards while Wind Waker feels in tone with the rest of the series.

Multiplayer or innovation is definitely a plus for any Ratchet and Clank game, but when the game lacks the substance of its core DNA and throws out an engaging single player in favor of it, it suffers greatly as a result. Its a shame, but let's give Insomniac points for trying at least. Keep innovating. Its a healthy way to keep ongoing games fresh with each entries.
For R&C 15th Anniversary, they should make a 2002 Ratchet skin for Ratchet 2016, but RaC2016 uses the A4O clothes, don’t say ToD because I’m ToD it’s green instead of blue.
Hmm... Would they add DLC though?
All liked all 4 one but it just had no connection to the old ratchet, if you start playing the game with no expectation of having a connection to the old ones, you'll love it
Front assault is the worst one on the series, All 4 one was actually a good game
They weren't bad, but yeah FFA is easily the weakest.
Insomniac how about a sequal to All 4 One but keep the models from the movie please
imo FFA is second or third best, i just found it very fun how 'different' its to the other games
@@VtnVivi agree FFA is extremely short compare to the other Ratchet and Clanks
Full frontal assault was good in its own way?
I really don't care about the models but Future tools of Destruction was my favorite model and Ps4 remake
1. ACiT
2. PS4
3. Tools
I haven't played Tools of distruction but the PS4 remake and full frontier assault (but it's named Q Froce in the UK) I know it's one of the weakness game in the series but it had a PS VITA port but it was cross play between consoles, also they were only 5 levels and 2 of them were on the same planet though this might just be because of the limitations of the Vita space they had limit down the file size but a sequal to this spin off game without a port i can see they would add in a hell of a lot more planets levels and multplayer maps, but I dout it's gonna happen :p
Play ToD its really good to me its almost equal to crack in time
Arcader 288 A Crack in Time was better in my opinion.
Q force still has online !
These games are so different from the classic PS2 ones, turning family friendly and bad character designs.
yeah, the ps2 games are like my all time favorite games.
all 4 one and full frontal assault are like the equivalent to the sonic storybook series, they aren't bad, they are just mediocre at it's best.
Yeah man, that's right, the ones starting from All 4 One, are kinda like that, Sonic style.
All 4 One still had jokes though :P
I didn't like the jokes in that one too.
I personnaly was nicely surprised when I first played these two games. I found these new style experiments really enjoyable actually. Then I even thought they would become the best games of the series (because they were for me)... but it was quite the opposite and I understand now. People do enjoy classical R&C games (I easily understand that) and then are disappointed when the game style is slightly different. Although I like both classic style and experiment gameplay. I'm this kind of guy that only likes things but never feels disappointed xD
Great video and nice analysis btw. Liked
Thank you for sharing :)
FFA=bad, All 4 One=good.
Ok then!
Going to defend A4O (not, looking at the comments, like it needs it). I had major reservations going into it that I would enjoy it, as a single-player experience (honestly, I mostly bought it because I wanted to support Insomniac, and could tell, playing it at a promotion kiosk that the multiplayer component of it _was_ fun), but when I finally put it into the console, I had a blast. The humor was cheesy, but fun. The gameplay was hectic, and reasonably varied, and just had that Ratchet and Clank feel, despite the superficial differences. It was as good as Deadlocked, in its own very different way. A spinoff, but a fine one. Honestly, one I wouldn't mind seeing again, so long as it didn't become the main series.
Frontal Assault... the problem I had with that game, primarily, is that I could see the gears turning in the developer's heads while playing it. A flying foe _here_, which neutralizes the cover _there_, and this weapon has the angle to hit that flying enemy... It felt very... clinical? Which is honestly something I often like in a game. Just... not Ratchet and Clank.
Thank you for sharing! Actually, not many are trashing A4O, they do like it but is not considered a classic R&C game.
A4O is my first game and its still my favourite idc what other says
All 4 One is a very fun family game :)
have you played the other ratchet and clank games ?
@@Rachebart yes 1,2,3, gladiator,tools,qfb,acit,ffa,nexus and reboot
@@clanky6671 ahh nice. :)
Those are my 2 favorite ratchet and clank games lol
:P
To be honest I’m really disappointed that Insomniac Games forget about old Ratchet and Clank history... i know that Tools of Destruction etc. was Ratchet’s and Clank’s future, but it was really good, I was in love in this trilogy! But after Into the Nexus I understood one important thing - Insomniac Games were doing Ratchet and Clank too fast, check the gameplay, the story, the missions were looking in Tools of Destruction or Crack in time and how it looked it Into the Nexus. Nexus wasn’t as good as the R&C’s first three parts of Future trilogy. Even Quest for Booty was better because of all this puzzles... The PS2 parts of Ratchet and Clank started something beautiful, the PS3 parts made it much better but this new one... nah, I’m really disappointed! I think that because of the brand new everything in the Insomniac Games Company they will do everything new, I’m kinda disappointed, really disappointed...
It did feel that way, making games too fast!!!! But they've done it before with the classic trilogy, what happened? Did they switch the teams around? We do know one thing, the guys who worked on R&C 1 a bit, GC and UYA are no longer part of the team, Tony Garcia and Mike Stout. But... the Future saga was good, so I guess the team is different these days, maybe some workers don't have that driving force that passion anymore? If they are busy with other gamers, ok I get it, just prioritise development times.
VTNVIVI I know what u mean, I understood it even when I’m bad at English but nvm xD I’m not into the info from the firm like u r, but sometimes I check what’s new like on Tweeter etc. but I didn’t hear ‘bout that they left the team... that’s weird, Stout has everything Ratchet’s on his Tweet prof xD but, u know, main point is that Insomniac Games changed they way even in selling this game. This, I mean R&C ofc. When I was buying new parts of R&C on PS3 it was always - in Poland, my country - on the end of the year like so I could buy it exactly on December so I could buy it for Christmas! I was buying it for something like 250 PLN (68$ / 58€) in Poland when it comes into the stores. It was really expensive for my wallet. Than, after.. I think? 5 mouths I could buy exactly the same game for a half price! And now, R&C for PS4 cost 149 PLN (40$ / 35€) when it come into the stores and now? After a year it costs the same prize! That’s really clever from Insomniac Games. But the point of it is that bcs of brand new let me say everything IGS changed everything. I hope they will say something ‘bout Ratchets and Clanks future in the firm’s eyes. I know that they won’t change the story again, to that which we had on PS2/3 but they will say something ‘bout Ratchet, ‘bout the future of this game. Maybe the firm wants to show everyone how they grown up and they prefer making the games like Spider Man which looks more than ‘game for kids’. As I said, if the team has been changed it won’t mean that they will end with the game, bcs R&C is actually the MAIN point of the firm, of that where it is standing today. But in my opinion they won’t look only at the Ratchet and Clank like before, when the parts were coming year after year, even when they didn’t look as good as the Future trilogy or when they were much different - but they were! We could play something ‘bout Ratchet and Clank’s history. I didn’t have a chance to buy this new part of Ratchet and Clank bcs I don’t have PS4. Maybe and the end of the game they say something important what will deny something what I said, but I don’t think so. Here comes only year after Ratchet and Clank new story and we know that nothing will happen this year about R&C bcs of new Spider-Man but maybe next year... I really hope so! And the fun fact is that when u copy ur own comment and put it into the google the Insomniac Games website will appear as the 1st and the heading will say ‘will the series continue or restart?’ and when u will try to click anything it will move u to IG website ofc, but then u will see Zurkon who says that the page is not found xD u probably know about what I’m talking about bcs the post was uploaded in 12.31.15 yr bcs u r more into it than me but yeah - that’s the fun fact xD thanks btw for the answer and for heart under my comment! I really respect it! :DD
Into the nexus was really good complete it 3 time on hard to
I want a huge new Ratchet and Clank game as a launch title for the PS5! It can be bigger and better than ever!
Or PS4 at the end of 2019. Who knows it could even be for both consoles.
Your wish was granted with Insomniac’s announcement of R&C Rift Apart for PS5. 😊
I love all ratchet and clank games they are my childhood
:D
I guess because they're a spin-off or something, i haven't really played neither I did saw a little bit of All 4 one dough.
Spin-off is more about a story involving another character mainly. Ratchet was still part of these games.
VTNVIVI I see ok thanks for helping me to have a better understanding.
Size Matters is a spin-off just be be clear right?
Ratchet and Clank all 4 one was my first game l play in the Ratchet and clank series and l love this game
Cool :D
Full Frontal Assault is the only R&C I’ve never finished.
good :)
Definitely agree. The designs of the characters in Crack in Time looked so good and detailed, and the ones from FFA and A4O are just so underwhelming with how they've been simplified and stylized. I didn't dislike those 2 games but as someone who plays games single player campaign, they don't really live up to their potential for me. I've played A4O with friends a few times and it was more fun that way but most the time I play games on my own and it just doesn't have that replay factor that most R&C games do. Haven't replayed FFA recently but definitely not an optimal 1-player experience.
A4O and FFA are fun games for the family. But looking at them in a traditional sense? Yeah they don't stand up.
This was the first game my brother got to experience Ratchet and Clank with after I was able to convince him to try it since it had co-op, if only I knew what I was getting us into.
It was mind-numbingly repetitive compared to the main series.
Yeah, the whole core of the game was family oriented, to just sit down and have fun together.
I only played them once each and never really enjoyed them.
I think that these games were made by Insomniac's (new at the time) smaller studio and had a different creative director. It's good to experiment, to keep the series fresh but unfortunately, they weren't executed so well...
I heard the team behind ACiT were involved actually, well it's a possibility.
Appreciate the reply man,
I'm sure that the Burbank studio (ACiT team) moved on to Resistance 3 and then Fuse whilst the North Carolina studio worked on those Ratchet games...
I liked playing all 4 one with my brother and it was fun because we both like ratchet and clank and we could finally play together
Yeah it was fun! But just not considered a ''true" R&C game.
VTNVIVI it’s not supposed to be a true ratchet and clank game it’s just a fun spin off they did for experimentation and as for the art it was more in line to the concept art where it had a more creature box cartoonish nature
All for One ended up being far better than I was expecting... though it did kinda drag on a bit. Though it also kinda felt like "Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric" done right, as they have similar gameplay aspects, visual styles, and tones, but of course All for One is leagues more polished and enjoyable!
I'll be starting Full-Frontal Assault soon. Turns out GameStop screwed up my order by putting The Ratchet & Clank HD collection disk (which I already owned to begin with) inside the Full-Frontal Assault case, and they've run out of Full-Frontal Assault copies, leaving me to order elsewhere online. I should be getting my new copy in about a week, and I'll be knowing very little going in.
FFA is pretty fun online I have to say :)
I like all 4 one, nefarious look like the protagonist this time
We did see a good side of him yes :)
5:39 Ohhhh no no no no, Vivi.
You have to understand that that level of crunch wasn’t natural and it was a miracle that the team pulled off Going Commando in just a year. With useless podcasts & TheGamingBrit’s video on Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, I think we can see where the quality deteriorated from having to work in such a short time on top of taking on multiplayer and being split with the Resistance series. Why was Deadlocked so good, you might say? Deadlocked(no hate) was awesome but a bit on the short side and they opted for quality over quantity(weapons, levels, etc.) and streamlined the game so it knew its main focus and did it well(plus could do multiplayer better after learning via trial & error with UYA).
Size Matters & Secret Agent Clank were made by PART(not all) of the Insomniac team(those that left to make High Impact) and look how well they did.
Making a game in a year and having the team split is a gamble at best, a recipe for disaster at worst. Big ups to Into the Nexus, though(again, quality over quantity)
Full Frontal Assault is the best Ratchet & Clank game ever made and its my damn opinion.
Hell yeah you right dude ;)
Everyone has opinions no problem with that!
lmao
I enjoyed playing all 4 one it's fun
It is fun :)
All 4 One and FFA are two coop games I actually like mainly because you can play solo and actually have a good time. I think both are better than Ratchet 2002 because you can strafe and reliably avoid attacks in the former.
I appreciate these games as multiplayer, with friends.
I have both games, and they were decent R&C games, I was disappointed with Full Frontal Assault though, it was shorter than even Into the Nexus, All 4 One is a good game, I enjoyed it online, but it has glitches that tick off partners on PSN.
They are fun for what they are, just don't feel like a true R&C game.
I get 4 game invites a day and of them is a glitcher
I think the redesign do a4o was to color code ratchet with orange...
Don't forget that after A Crack in Time, Insomniac opened another company building, with a new team and that new team were the ones who worked on All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault. I still agree though that both A4O and FFA were still fun in there own way, even though they were very different from previous R&C games.
Oh I see now!!! Thanks for sharing :)
No problem. Just happy to help a fellow R&C fan.
The scene of Ratchet being fed treats will always bring a smile to my face and the idea of Nefarious being a reluctant hero was interesting.
Yeah we never saw Ratchet eat before!!!!!!!!! hahah. And yeah, A4O showed a new side of Nefarious :O
Yeah, to me is begs the question: Does Nanotech provide your body with nutrients so you don't need to eat?
I think it was different because it wasn’t canon with actually series and it was a different because it was a quick game to complete
These two games were confirmed canon actually, taking place after the comics. These games are fun for what they are, but are not classic style.
I too like ToD, QfB and ACiT models the best. They surely did the downgrade on purpose. It wasn't cause they didn't have enough people or time. Nobody would complain if they just reused the ACiT Ratchet. It's not like those files burned in fire.
And it's not just Ratchet. Look at how ridiculously Qwark looks in A4O and FFA. His proportions are so much more exaggerated.
I am glad that the reboot and Rift Apart Ratchet at least looks serviceable. But I still like the Future series models more. Something about their head and body that just looks better... More mature, grown up, better proportionate. Rift Apart looks weirdly... boyish from certain angle.
I feel ya!
I gotta say I’ve played all of the ratchet and clank games and my top 3 would be a crack in time, ratchet and clank 2 and full frontal assault. I do agree with the lack of content tho. I think the game was very different but that made it interesting at least. I love tower defense games so honestly ffa rocked for me. just hooked up my old ps3 and am playing it rn, the original trilogy is next :)
FFA online was so much fun!
Good theory and nice henge to the intro, if it was there I’m sorry because I was gone😭
Welcome back :P
They're both spin-off games. Something that happens to every great series. These games seem like they were made just for fun and Sony didn't care because it's more money.
Also to address the model thing, image if you had 4 highly detailed models fighting tons of enemies, with explosions, online. I think my PS3 would just explode!
I guess we could consider them spin-offs seeing as how the concept of fighting is still there. Great point actually, 4 characters highly detailed would've killed the framerate.
A question, ratchet: Deadlocked, agent secret clank and ratchet & clank size matters are part of the original history?
Yes. They are all canon. (Looks at Secret Agent Clank.) Eh, most of them anyway.
Yes all are canon to the timeline! Secret Agent Clank and Size Matters have been confirmed canon a few months ago.
0:46 wait skrunch got a cameo in this game? Best game 10/10
They went back and made an amazing game in rift apart sooo much fun
Yay!
Maybe the Next Ratchet and Clank could be something better That's what I'm thinking
I hope so!
I think the next ratchet and clank game will be show at E3 2018 and come out in early 2019.
Well I'd expect a teaser after Spidey gets released, so maybe PSX 2018 or PGW 2018.
Those games were definitely experiments. Completely agree two years is good amount of development time.
Glad you agree man :)
My top 4 favorite games are deadlocked UYA all 4 one and full frontal assault :P
I'm with you on ratchets model vivi. i like his old model better then the new look now , but overall it's still a great game series .
:)
I mean... Maybe they just want to move on...
Actually no :P They love the series and will keep on making more.
I thought all for one was fantastic...full frontal assault is probably my least Favourite game in The franchise
Thanks for sharing!
Into the Nexus is amazing..... If you don't count for how short it is
I for sure appreciate it for what it is!
I think these 2 games were supposed to be linked to the Ratchet and Clank Comic issues which have similar character designs which would explain why the characters look the way they look in these games.
Hmm... The character models in the comics look less cartoony to me, like less goofy. But yes, these two games are canon.
It's because they're spin off games. Spin off games are usually not the best of games in a franchise. Sonic Boom is a spin off from Sonic that started out bad, but they learned from their mistakes and it's definitely improved greatly over the years. I've enjoyed both Ratchet and Clank games, but they're spin off games at their core. They're enjoyable experiences and not broken and unplayable glitch infested messes like Sonic Boom ROL. Secret Agent Clank's a spin off game and it was okay for a spin off like the two in this video.
Brandon Thomas They're canon they just continue after a comic series which are a good read
Insomniac shouldn't have cancelled the comics
I guess we can call it a spin-off, since the concept we know is still there and still takes part of the actual timeline.
Ffa is a tower defense game and all for one is a multiplayer focused game there saved you 9 minutes
Thank you!
A thing that i'm thinking is...
The next Ratchet e Clank game...
Could Be done with a NEW Online mod?
This would Be HUGE! something like UYA but BIGGER!
It would be cool to find new fans and passionate People to talk to, like you and all the other fans in this page.
Yes, I would love online mode to return, something like UYA especially or even bigger!
To be honest I never even tried A4O and FFA, but please, somebody tell me this: didn't Nefarious die at the end of Crack in time? Where are these two games in the timeline?
Well time travel is the answer
Both games were short but not bad.
They weren't bad, but just weren't classic R&C. They are fun for what they are.
A good Ratchet & Clank game is NOT UGLY, has good gameplay/levels, and a story that is NOT STUPID.
Not every Ratchet & Clank game has been good.
Ratchet and clank is life VTNVIVI is life
No more shrek is love, shrek is life rewrites!
rc reccomendationsforpeople haha you are funny
high levels of sarcasm detected....

What about quark's chin turning from a butt into a disk
Plastic surgery.
Not agree with you i love all 4 one, one of my favorite ratchet game and full frontal assault was fun, i have so much fun with those two games on-line with my friend.
I don't hate them, they're not that usual R&C game.
I still hate how Qwark becomes president.
Qwark does the most unthinkable things!
(Mewkuro12) all 4 one is my third fave just because there are not that many games Nowerdays that are 2 player in your own home that are good. A lot are online. For 2 player gameplay all for one is good. For a one off game style it is good. If insomniac went in this direction then on. It'd be unevolving the series. Since it's a one off I like this.
Thanks for sharing!
You are right all 4 one isn't a great or bad game i found it meh but it is a game that better when playing with a friend my issue with it is that it didn't feel like RaC game it was slow in some parts especially some ambush and boss battles and the story could have been way better but getting to play as Quark and Nefarious was really fun especially since everyone got a different personal weapon and depending on your partner different dialogue. As for the timeline i'd tell it as it is 1, 2, 3. Gladiator\Deadlock, ToD, QfB (can skip it), CiT, Comics, All 4 one (can skip it but will miss out on some very funny dialogue with Nefarious) and ItN now for FFA to my knowledge its not canon so you don't have to play it
Thank you for sharing! FFA and A4O are both canon, we had Stuart Zurgo remember? We even had a flashback pic to GC! your timeline is pretty accurate, Size Matters is also apparently canon confirmed a few months ago :)
GC? And size matters is real iffy about it being canon its like Lost frontier for JaD we aren't sure if its canon so its iffy as well.
amazing video VTNVIVI and got a ad for red dead redemption 2 lol
Well then :P Thank you for watching!
The problem I have with All 4 One & FFA is that they shouldn't even exist. A Crack in Time should've been the end of the Ratchet games. Both games don't control nearly as well as the previous Ratchet games, the weapon arsenal is weak and forgettable, 30 FPS...the games just aren't fun to play. But at least All 4 One can be a enjoyable time with friends. But Full Frontal Assult is just miserable.
They're both fun, they're all just about having fun. But yeah, they strayed away from the classic feel.
0:22 - One game decided to do a similar multiplayer style to Crash Of The Titans and Crash Mind Over Mutants whilst the other tried to go with what the 3rd game and Gladiators had but with tower defense.
0:40 - Oh yeah! That game had a co-op mode which you could play in story mode. :D
0:55 - It could be because they weren't related to A Crack In Time or that someone hacked the online servers which made playing online a problem.
1:00 - Even weaker then Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank?
1:09 - After seeing J's Reviews on Tools Of Destruction and Quest For Booty I ... really can't say, maybe start with the classic games in order from first to last but then it probably won't be a problem. :/
1:29 - Yeah I could tell from your old let's plays on those games. ;)
1:50 - Yeah! I remember looking your profile up, some people didn't accept it! XD
2:13 - Even I would agree, why? Because unlike Q-Force where you can only play competitively online, All 4 One at least has local co-op that let's you play the story which you can also do with online but the reason online isn't an option is like I said; someone hacked the servers.
2:35 - They wanted Ratchet to look a couple of years older?
2:52 - Also Q-Force was shorter then All 4 One so that adds another one.
3:14 - That also reminds me, I have never been devoted to following up on game news back then, it was while I was searching up the 4th game in late 2010 that I found out about Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and like every other Ratchet & Clank game that's new after and the 4th Sly Cooper game; I have been keeping up ever since then! :D
3:27 - About that game, for some reason J's Reviews ranked it along with these two games as confusing, he doesn't count it as part of the Future series since it doesn't have Future in the title ... even though people have told him it was the 3rd game of the Future Trilogy excluding Quest For Booty.
4:02 - And that right there is reason enough for me to absolutely like this series and it's creators, they weren't afraid to try new things unlike the reboot of last year but that's besides the point. :)
4:41 - Generic, I know.
5:03 - From what remember; both weren't made by the same team as the one who had worked on the Future series, they were both handled by their studios in North Carolina, two of the developers included Chad Dezern and Shaun McCabe.
6:10 - I personally don't find myself revisiting that game as much as I have with previous entries.
7:34 - You pretty much summed up how they should handle the next game. :)
7:57 - Already done both of those things but appreciate it. :)
i have seen way too many cliffhangers! but ratchet is my childhood they need to make something like ratchet and clank 3 since it looks cool and since its online co-op and for 4 players
Deadlocked had Co-op not UYA. A game following the original timeline would be sweet indeed.
Full frontal assault was fun, but it was do short that it almost wasn't worth the money. And to that add that two of the levels were almost the same. (I guess maybe the multiplayer would save it, but I didn't had internet at the time I played it, so...)
I had so much fun playing online :P
Why cant insomniac get ratchet online right. They focus on crap like vehicles or base building tower defence
Just let me walk around a map shooting people with weapons from the single player, its not rocket science
Also don't make the charge boots so super fast that people just run past each other, dont make the maps so open and barren that the sniper rifle is the best choice
Thanks for sharing.
I actually love All4one(dont really care about FFA since im not into pvp), but unlike the main games, after 100% the game its hard to go back and replay it, any way i dont mind if they want to try something different with R&C but it should be done by a different team(that knows how to do it), i maybe in the minority here but i always wanted a tactical rpg R&C game with many playable character.
I see!
Bro I wonder why Ratchet's design and model started to look kid friendly and unrealistically proportioned bro. I remember Ratchet looking more closer to realistic proportioned and meaner and teenage looking
Yeah he looked squished.
VTNVIVI true bro
The models are just completely dull.
Yep.
Not really
Well, it's cool that we have the same ideas!
When you Say "ps4 Ratchet have a Little group of people working on It, so After Spider-man, i hope in a bigger team for a bigger game of Ratchet"... Well i think at the same way!
At the time of FFA and A4O the team try something new and also for these games, there are few people working on them.
Personally, i loved the new PS4 game of Ratchet (the story is maybe the weakest i know... But the game is gorgeus!) So i hope that the "artistic phylosophy" will follow this game.
A crack in time is very wonderful but there are 3 things that annoy me:
•the strange difference between game scenes and non-playable clip...
•the weapons are a bit "boring" (there are ecception of course, but i speak of the whole bunch).
•there are few "big Planet".
Thank you for sharing! R&C ACiT had pre-rendered scenes, I think that's what you're referring to when saying ''difference''. The weapons well some were re-used from Tools sure. ACiT sure only had a few big planets (7-8 actual planets), but the space exploring and the moons were a very cool feature, I guess those made up for it.
VTNVIVI Agreed, ACiT is the best. It has moon exploration and the best weapon ever: THE SPIRAL. OF. CARNAGE.
I miss that one gun that turned enemies into pigs
FFA online was fun
Yes it was!
@@VtnVivi I still play it with my friends on ps3 and ps4 (you can actually play it on ps4 if you get ps now). My user on the game is YoGrandDADDy-_-t
All 4 one was good.
Huh I 've never played ratchet & clank game since deadlock ratchet did gotten more mature then turning cartoonly model into mature model difference look at jak & daxter we from a protecter in heaven city to a wastelander maybe I didn't play a ratchet & clank games
The future saga introduced us to a heavier story element for sure, and that's why ACiT is my favorite!
I wish the PS4 game looked worse and ran at a nice smooth 60fps then it would have been better!
As long as it's not buggy, I don't mind the whole 30FPS vs 60FPS.
I actually like the newer models, though I prefer some others.
Ratchet and Clank 3 had Co op aswell
What? I don't recall.
VTNVIVI yeah it did ,but it was only in multiplayer because in multiplayer you could be on the same team instead of against eachother and it was splitscreen
yeah they are the weakest. also i didn't really like frontal assault is why i did plan on doing a walk through on it
FFA was pretty online competitive.
I did find all4one to be a great game. Not a great R&C game, but a good game
Very fun playing with friends!
I still think ratchets into the nexus model is my favorite in my opinion because it looks like a mix of him in the ps2 games and a creak in time model, but why care about models in the first place? its still the same characters just looks different but I just don't think models are a big deal its just models.
OK I'm done talking about models I to agree with you by saying all for All 4 One and Q Force are the weakest but I still considered both of them Canon
It is just models and it has nothing to do with the gameplay. As they always say, it's not about graphics. But seeing what they pulled off with ACiT, was just sad they changed it.
They are canon this was confirmed! These take place after the comics :)
+VTNVIVI I don't even read the comics tho. are they still available?
I like all 4 one and after just playing q force i have changed my mind on that game. I actually like q force. I just think it had so much missed potential.
Thanks for sharing!
Into the nexus was pretty bad too unfortunately the series died after a crack in time which was my favorite game in the series even with the glitches getting in the way
Into The Nexus was great although short...
VTNVIVI no it was pretty bad
ITN was actually good though.
I loved it it not bad complete it 3 times
Really good video :-)
im sorry but can you let your speech flow a little more at points you can sound very robotic and monotone
I don't know where this robotic this is coming from, is it my accent? Probably.
FFA is really bad on Vita for some reason it slows down a lot.
Oh :O
All 4 one is ok I had the demo on may ps 3
they tried to sell a tower defense game to an action.adventure community. Not cool
Hehe and now its baaack
Full frontal assault still has the best multiplayer of the whole franchise
It is fun I have to admit :)
@@VtnVivi too bad it's full of try-harders since more than 3 years xD
@@pikminologueraisin2139 what was your PSN back when you still played?
Lol they wer probably brainstorming for a new ratchet and clank
A4O And Q-Forced Are Bad R&C Games But They Are Not The Worst Games In The Franchise
The High Impact Games R&C Games Are The Worst R&C GamesOf All Time!
A4O and Q-Force were fun :)
