EssentialSocialist Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Spyro 2 is a rush job and hasn't aged well altogether. Spyro 3 is the best in the series bar none. Spyro 1 is a classic.
Spyro 2 hasn't aged well to me. You know those cool abilities Sparx gains in Spyro 3? It looks like he could have had those in Spyro 2 originally, but they were cut out. Why? Because Spyro 2 was a rush job.
Insomniac is my favorite game creator. They put the time and effort into their games. They started small and grew with a fan base. They deserve all the love they get! Love spyro and i love Ratchet and Clank!
Thank you so much insomniac games... i dont know how my childhood would be without spyro the dragon.... Its so nostalgic.... In my opinion spyro the dragon is the best of the whole series
Ratchet and Clank are the guys who made me love Insomniac Games and their games in general! I've played Spyro a little bit at my friends place few years ago! :D
Make no mistake about it . As soon as Mark Cerny took them under his training . Thats when they blew up . He hired them for Activision then after that had a hand in them getting a contract with sony and finally getting bought by Sony
Universal I think you mean, but yeah I totally agree, once Cerny took a shining to them that was it, done deal! Cerny still works with them till this day.
it's a modern thing. for some reason games now our days have to be more like Hollywood movies even if it doesn't suit them. it's also becoming quite clear that a lot of recent movies have just been remakes or adaptations of other stories. there's rarely anything new. game companies are using a similar strategy by reusing game characters and placing them in a rather unsuitable enviroment
i like both spyro and R&C. the reason spyro and crash didn't have much of a story is because they were mainly focused on the gameplay which in a way makes more sense for a game.
What's funny is I still have spyro 2 and ratchet and clank 3 to this day the to games they developed and I also loved the fact at certain times of day you could find portals to museums of insomniac games inside ratchet and clank
I don't have anything past 2 because (with the exception of 3) everything past it including the skylanders which had nothing to do with spyro was absolute utterly horrible shite
Just bought the collection for the PS3, cant think of any better series that the Ratchet & Clanks, Jak and Daxter's and Sly Cooper Series. Long Live the PS2 Platformers!
+heartribbonhairband Really sad. Spyro is one of the greatest series ever made before it was sold after the third game. I tried A Hero's Tail in 2005 and it just wasn't the same
sly cooper is made by sucker punch. or should i say WAS made by sucker punch. the game series is now being ran by sanzaru games and in my opinion they've done a good job bringing the sly cooper series back to life!
People saying that Ratchet & Clank is the reason Insomniac "gave up" Spyro, don't blame it on R&C, blame it on Universal Interactive. Insomniac had a contract with Universal and that contract only lasted for a few years until expiration.
So they left Spyro after 3 games, why didn't they do the same with Ratchet & Clank? R&C is still going 10+ years later( unless Full Frontal Assault was the last one)
EXACTLY! I wish Crash & Spyro games would just stick to this. It felt like when you're playing a mario or old sonic game barley any story but really fun gameplay that is still being used for Mario. Why not Crash & Spyro?
And now they are making Sunset Overdrive, exclusive to Xbox One! Can't wait for that game! It has a lot of things from Ratchet and Clank! Btw Spyro was awesome
lets be honest both of the attempts insomniac made to steer away from R&C didn't turn out so well (at least in my opinion they didn't) resistance went on for quite a while but from what i've seen not a lot of people knew about it. personally i thought the resistance series was just a little bit too gloomy and felt kind of like call of duty with aliens. and then there was fuse which looked like it was going to be good but was clearly butchered by EA games.
Ratchet and clank is one of my favourite video games don't give up on them like you did with spyro and peeps who think it's all over for r&c are so wrong they are making a movie based on the first game and a brand new proper r&c game called into the nexus which has some awesome new graphics, puzzles, physics, guns and of course the gadgets. If you ask me ratchet and clank are the best thing that happened to ps2 and this new stuff will reboot the series and make it great again
@James Schultz Whaaat, Resistance 2 and 3 are some of my FAVORITE games EVER. I like them more than Uncharted because they have exploration and RPG elements with badass enemies in the middle of an apocalyptic alienated WWII setting!
+Evan/Odd I only briefly played the first Resistance and my brother bought me the second for Christmas a few years ago. It had potential and some success, but it sounds like it peaked at the second game then lost momentum after 3.
ok look, i loved ratchet and clack and i think going commando is the best game in the series, but the games don't have any connecting story with each other. that all 4 one bullshit was the final nail in the coffin for me. to really win me back, they need a game with a solid story and gameplay that isn't so repetitive
No offense to Spyro fans, but I never really found the games that fun, gliding around and stuff was interesting, but mostly it was a bore to me 'cause that's really all I ended up doing! When I first played Ratchet and Clank though, my brother had to drag me out of the room to get me to go to bed, and that was only a few years ago when I went to visit him!
Spyro could have survived if the developers of Insomniac had been smarter with their decisions. They didn't have to be working with Universal they could've just been working with Sony directly and kept making games for my childhood gaming idol. If any of you guys say Spyro is a bad game, &$@! YOU! Spyro went platinum in his era, sold more than 8 million copies. Now it may not be as good as your Call of Duty crap but at least his developers did something new with each of Spyro's games not just add a few little tweaks and maps.
INSOMNIC GAMES IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :trolls: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD SO AWESOME I MEAN ALL THE GAMES ARE AWESOME AND RATCHET AND CLANK IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And spyro peeps who keep commenting about too many r&c games shut up and play your old spyro games or even shitter skylanders r&c are groundbreakers of playstation history spyro is just an average game
I am a hardcore gamer. But the spyro series will forever remain my favourite games of all time. Spyro 3 is my favouritee game ever
Mine too
1 - Spyro 2
2 - Spyro 3
3 - Spyro 1
EssentialSocialist Wrong, wrong, and wrong.
Spyro 2 is a rush job and hasn't aged well altogether.
Spyro 3 is the best in the series bar none.
Spyro 1 is a classic.
+Giordan Diodato I'd say they've all aged well, but the third is unquestionabley the best
Spyro 2 was ahead of it's time, I mean the fish would swim away from you.
Spyro is ironically owned by Activision now. You know, the same company that said Fish A. I. is a new thing?
Spyro 2 hasn't aged well to me. You know those cool abilities Sparx gains in Spyro 3? It looks like he could have had those in Spyro 2 originally, but they were cut out. Why? Because Spyro 2 was a rush job.
***** my point still stands. Spyro 2 was rushed.
***** What secret?
Again, Spyro 2 was the rushed one. It hints that you could take an extra hit, but it doesn't come in that game.
***** Um... play Spyro 2 again....
Ratchet and clank the best series ever
Fuck yeah!
Maxim Bacinschi the Lombax
Quadruple Fuck Yeah!!!!
S.M A
Fuck it, all Insomniac classics are kick ass! :D
J20p00 Hell yeah! Ratchet 4 Life!!!!!!
Insomniac is my favorite game creator. They put the time and effort into their games. They started small and grew with a fan base. They deserve all the love they get! Love spyro and i love Ratchet and Clank!
Hey you still here 11 years later for Spider-Man 2?
I love insomniac games awesome
Thank you so much insomniac games... i dont know how my childhood would be without spyro the dragon.... Its so nostalgic.... In my opinion spyro the dragon is the best of the whole series
Spyro is the best game of all time.
Ratchet and Clank are the guys who made me love Insomniac Games and their games in general! I've played Spyro a little bit at my friends place few years ago! :D
17:52 The tiny robot who spends much of the game riding on Ratchet's back.
Thanks for uploading this. It's amazing what those 3 guys have done with insomniac. Truly inspirational!
This is the history of one of the best gaming devs of this century
Without Ratchet and clank i would`t be a gamer, so I thank you imsomniac
Same here.
Spyro is king, nothing will ever be on top archer and clank came second! Spyro will always be my childhood savior!
Make no mistake about it . As soon as Mark Cerny took them under his training . Thats when they blew up . He hired them for Activision then after that had a hand in them getting a contract with sony and finally getting bought by Sony
Universal I think you mean, but yeah I totally agree, once Cerny took a shining to them that was it, done deal!
Cerny still works with them till this day.
Look at these guys now, making a Ratchet and Clank movie :D
*[INTENSIVE HYPE]*
Uh oh... Someone gonna tell em?
@@themoviecritic1092 Trust me, I know.
Spyro 1, 2 and 3
Best games ever.
it's a modern thing. for some reason games now our days have to be more like Hollywood movies even if it doesn't suit them. it's also becoming quite clear that a lot of recent movies have just been remakes or adaptations of other stories. there's rarely anything new. game companies are using a similar strategy by reusing game characters and placing them in a rather unsuitable enviroment
20:17;
But it's rated T For Teen, not E For Everyone...
i like both spyro and R&C. the reason spyro and crash didn't have much of a story is because they were mainly focused on the gameplay which in a way makes more sense for a game.
Does anyone know the song at
9:00-9:40
I know it's the final fantasy prolude but I don't know which one
What's funny is I still have spyro 2 and ratchet and clank 3 to this day the to games they developed and I also loved the fact at certain times of day you could find portals to museums of insomniac games inside ratchet and clank
I have all 3 Spyro games still.
I don't have anything past 2 because (with the exception of 3) everything past it including the skylanders which had nothing to do with spyro was absolute utterly horrible shite
Drew McAdam I felt 3 is the best in the series.
That applies for spyro, halo and ratchet and clank
Just bought the collection for the PS3, cant think of any better series that the Ratchet & Clanks, Jak and Daxter's and Sly Cooper Series. Long Live the PS2 Platformers!
Damn, this vid makes me sad now, to see how Insomniac hates gamers now.
Insomniac hates gamers? Most dumbest thing I’ve read all day 🤣
Up your arsenal is the best ratchet and clank game I played so far
I liked all 3 equal but I lean to 2 and 3
The whole trilogy is kick ass! :D
yup
Bailey Soens True dat
2:42 hes definitely got dead bodies in his basement
The Resistance Inc. ;D
Finally someone pointed that out
I love how there are screenshots of one of my favorite game series, "Ratchet and Clank" in the background.
This should have more views.
Spyro, then Ratchet and Clank, and Resistance then more ratchet and clank
@Torben C What about Sly Cooper? Sly, Ratchet, and Jak were the trifecta of the ps2!
spyro went to shit after they left him. He looks like he has downs now too.
Activision effed it up
They F everything up look at the call of duty franchise now Hopefully sledgehammer games is their saving grace
PROJECT DARKSTAR they did
+heartribbonhairband Really sad. Spyro is one of the greatest series ever made before it was sold after the third game. I tried A Hero's Tail in 2005 and it just wasn't the same
Thank you for Making " Ratchet And Clank "
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
sly cooper is made by sucker punch. or should i say WAS made by sucker punch. the game series is now being ran by sanzaru games and in my opinion they've done a good job bringing the sly cooper series back to life!
sadly i don't have any ratchet and clank but i grew up with spyro it was one hell of a game
spyro and crash also had great story lines form the late 90's early 2000 just like Up You're Arsenal
People saying that Ratchet & Clank is the reason Insomniac "gave up" Spyro, don't blame it on R&C, blame it on Universal Interactive. Insomniac had a contract with Universal and that contract only lasted for a few years until expiration.
This makes me inspired to build my own game development studio.
EDIT:
12 months in development.
Did they release the Sly Cooper collection for PS3 yet?
I wasn't ever really a fan of spyro though but I did play crash when I was very young
So they left Spyro after 3 games, why didn't they do the same with Ratchet & Clank? R&C is still going 10+ years later( unless Full Frontal Assault was the last one)
Isn't the nerrator the voice of Spyro?
EXACTLY! I wish Crash & Spyro games would just stick to this. It felt like when you're playing a mario or old sonic game barley any story but really fun gameplay that is still being used for Mario. Why not Crash & Spyro?
And now they are making Sunset Overdrive, exclusive to Xbox One! Can't wait for that game! It has a lot of things from Ratchet and Clank!
Btw Spyro was awesome
the PS3 ones are pretty good too but the majority of people would say they prefer the games that came out before all4one
I miss u spyro ;(
I have Beat them all except size-matters and all 4 one. They are such good games.
Thanks for 100 likes guys your the best!!!!
awww he called me his baby
ah insomniac games!! come back im stuck acting for skylanders!
I'm glad insomniac exists because if they didn't neither would ratchet and clank (best game ever)
Alex Hastings is like a creepy guy in a horror movie
despite its late take off, by goodness, spyro is an amazing game!
Anyone saw Buzz Lightyear?
what about jak and daxter and sly cooper :(
my mom used to play spyro she loves that game
what's up with the fake 90's voice? Sounds like I'm watching Clerks
Is this too soon? They're about to release spiderman ps4
Problem?
One of the best company there is.
I was just here to see if they talk about Spyro
13:09 It debuts in the fall of 99
Lol the way they talk about the visuals. But to be fair, the game still looks good, and compared to those days standards its next level
lets be honest both of the attempts insomniac made to steer away from R&C didn't turn out so well (at least in my opinion they didn't) resistance went on for quite a while but from what i've seen not a lot of people knew about it. personally i thought the resistance series was just a little bit too gloomy and felt kind of like call of duty with aliens. and then there was fuse which looked like it was going to be good but was clearly butchered by EA games.
i think insomniac need s to bring back the old ratchet and clank character models and redefine them in HD because the new models are so weird.
True Spyro fans never play skylanders and as it is for R&C I agree its a great series
It was one hell of a trilogy :)
Ratchet and clank is one of my favourite video games don't give up on them like you did with spyro and peeps who think it's all over for r&c are so wrong they are making a movie based on the first game and a brand new proper r&c game called into the nexus which has some awesome new graphics, puzzles, physics, guns and of course the gadgets. If you ask me ratchet and clank are the best thing that happened to ps2 and this new stuff will reboot the series and make it great again
I want more ratchet and clank games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thesatanic6 I like spyro a lot, but I have to disagree with you. In my opinion, Ratchet and Clank is better.
There's a new one coming soon.
Bluesapira Hemmelig BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!
It is
@James Schultz Whaaat, Resistance 2 and 3 are some of my FAVORITE games EVER. I like them more than Uncharted because they have exploration and RPG elements with badass enemies in the middle of an apocalyptic alienated WWII setting!
+Evan/Odd I only briefly played the first Resistance and my brother bought me the second for Christmas a few years ago. It had potential and some success, but it sounds like it peaked at the second game then lost momentum after 3.
Ratchet and Clank is a successful video game series but with out Spyro it would have never had happened.
What show is this
I think it is G4's Icons
I completely agree.
and now they are working for Microsoft and making sunset overdrive
"And now they are working for Microsoft".
No. Working WITH Microsoft.
oh yeah sorry xD
Mr Bob Marley leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeave xD i would hate to ever see them with microsoft!
anyone else think captain qwark was inspired by buzz lightyear?
"We decided to start with a new franchise, instead of pushing Spyro again..."
MAKES 11 RATCHET AND CLANK GAMES
Atleast they changed alot of stuff for the better
personally i'd steer away from all4one and full frontal assault. they felt more like market research games and less like R&C games
I know right :\
ok look, i loved ratchet and clack and i think going commando is the best game in the series, but the games don't have any connecting story with each other. that all 4 one bullshit was the final nail in the coffin for me. to really win me back, they need a game with a solid story and gameplay that isn't so repetitive
what about the Resistance games???...no...ok :(
No offense to Spyro fans, but I never really found the games that fun, gliding around and stuff was interesting, but mostly it was a bore to me 'cause that's really all I ended up doing! When I first played Ratchet and Clank though, my brother had to drag me out of the room to get me to go to bed, and that was only a few years ago when I went to visit him!
Ok,but R&C (on PS2) are fucking awesome
oh lol they are both naughty dog games sorry

Nah. Its just pretty ironic.
It's not worth it fuck that shit
And spyro peeps who keep commenting about too many r&c games shut up and play your old spyro games or even shitter skylanders r&c are groundbreakers of playstation history spyro is just an average game

This narrator is terrible.
Fuck you Ratchet & Clank would not be were they are at today if it were not for Spyro so shut the fuck up.
