Yeah, games back then had a lot of passion put into them, although people like to argue that even the early to mid 2000's had less passion than the 90s when it comes to games.
I feel stupid, but only last year I realised that the reason why Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank 1 feels so different even when he doesn't talk, is that his ears droop down 99% of the time.
What i liked about the first game was the feeling of having a collection of mismatching gadgets from everywhere. Nothing felt connected, but in a fun way. Its just like real life whre we have collections of stuff which might look entirely different.
Love messing with these as a kid Going from the spin in the Mine Glove to the Walloper is like he whips out the dukes before you know it And my friend and I found a glitch were equipping and unequipping the Magneboots makes him stuck to the floor in his bare feet. XD
Noticed it was alot of similar animations for them, but besides that Ratchet was Vibing with the Spikeball animation feeling smug and having fun with the magne boots also confused with the magneboots and chick-a-nator or what it is called Wouldnt it be funny if it made chicks as in girls instead of chicken? hahaha (would be a fun thing to have on collectors menu)
It's odd how the Tesla Claw has the animation that transitions into the animation Ratchet plays for weapons too heavy to conveniently carry in one hand but goes into the animations weapons like the Blaster and Bomb Glove use and how the Visibomb gun has the animations for the Blaster and Bomb glove after it's initial animation even though the gun is clearly meant to be a 2-handed weapon. Maybe the Visibomb gun is lighter than it looks and there wasn't enough time to re-animate the Tesla Claw's animation? Though one thing that makes no sense is that Ratchet uses the heavy weapon animation for the metal detector which judging by it's looks is not heavy enough to warrant being unable to carry conveniently in 1 hand.
I have the R.Y.N.O in-game and I can confirm he indeed does make the evil face when he equips it. XD Just like the Pyrocitor and Devastator. I think he mostly does it when you equip the more dangerous weapons like those 3.
The passion that went into these games is just unmatched.

Fun fact: at 5:00 if you take off Ratchets O2 mask immediately, you can see his facial expressions while hes breathing and laughing.
How do you know that?
@@skitswithc8500By testing it out yourself? xD
@@skitswithc8500in the menu quickly take the helmet on and off to see
@@nchldmn okay. Thanks for the tip. Did you do that in the game?
@skitswithc8500 yeah either version works
Loved watching these as a kid! They added so much personality

That he’s wearing a shirt. While OG Ratchet don’t need a shirt to travel the Galaxy and blast murder bots with a crazy amount of weapons
3:13 Now *this* is what defined the entire Ratchet and Clank franchise as a whole.
Loved these. I think these animations would've given even more personality to Ratchet in-game if he was standing still with a weapon or gadget.
Oh damn, that's an idea! I think these animations fit more for menus, but it's an intriguing idea for sure.
Watching those animations brings me back to my childhood, playing on my old PlayStation 2. 😌

They should have done this for every game
5:21 was straight up foreshadowing Going Commando
..how?
No, Ratchet just really likes the helmet lol
upon seeing it: "[...] I have GOT to get me one of those!"
on getting it: "Now THIS, is COOL!"
"It was perfect. PERFECT, everything down to the last minuet detail"
Love messing with these as a kid

Thank you for these! I always loved how much attitude they gave him! 😄
I always like how the animation are like in RAC PS2
and to think, people WONDER AND ARE ACTIVELY CONFUSED when I say PS2 ratchet is superior and the HD transition has never been the same
The HD games are great (mostly), but yeah, they just don’t have that same aesthetic, ya know?
It’s cool seeing these up close. Gotta appreciate the small details and love that went into the first game
Good work on the upscaling dude !

Oh how i love this game
Noticed it was alot of similar animations for them, but besides that
Ratchet was Vibing with the Spikeball animation feeling smug
and having fun with the magne boots
also confused with the magneboots
and chick-a-nator or what it is called
Wouldnt it be funny if it made chicks as in girls instead of chicken? hahaha (would be a fun thing to have on collectors menu)
People will go on and on about how "edgy" old Ratchet is when he makes faces like that 2:13
He's such a goober I love him
He looks like he's posing for Gadgetron promos.
Is it just me, or do Ratchet's eyes look strange when he's looking directly forward at the camera?
It's odd how the Tesla Claw has the animation that transitions into the animation Ratchet plays for weapons too heavy to conveniently carry in one hand but goes into the animations weapons like the Blaster and Bomb Glove use and how the Visibomb gun has the animations for the Blaster and Bomb glove after it's initial animation even though the gun is clearly meant to be a 2-handed weapon.

That soundtrack too!
Sweet!
To remember:
Ratchet makes a evil face when you get Pyrocitor or Devastator in-game.
Unsure if is the same thing for R.Y.N.O.
Never realised how R.Y.N.O is big.
It is basically Ratchet's size upstanding, which is canonically 5 feet.
And by the 5 feet, i've came to realise that ratchet has half of Skid's height, therefore Skid McMarx has like 3 meters.
I have the R.Y.N.O in-game and I can confirm he indeed does make the evil face when he equips it. XD Just like the Pyrocitor and Devastator. I think he mostly does it when you equip the more dangerous weapons like those 3.
2:30: Nice try, but the difference is obvious. Kitty cat.
Ah yes, my favourite weapon, the metal detector
Im now curious on how many bones the facial rig on that model has. With that many facial expressions im stunned considering this was in 2002.
The decoy one is my fave
he's quite adorable
RYNO I love it
Metropolis song never disapoints *vibes*
0:34, if I’m not wrong, this animation is a reference of James Bond (007)?
0:24 "😠😲😁🤨😠"
On this very special day:
November 4th, 2002 - November 4th, 2023
Happy 21st Anniversary to Ratchet & Clank!!!🥳🎉🎊
I only just realised, did Ratchet ever have a permit to carry so many arms.
Not sure if he even needs one. There's like vending machines selling weapons around every block.
I don't think he cares about legality considering he got the most powerful missile launcher through a guy who stole it.
i got a bug in the selection and the telt got the golden texture i do a video on my chanlle but is very old
Most people don't know the TELT, they only know the RYNO because that's the English name, just to let you know
Any chance you could do another of these with Courtney Gears' dance from the monitors in Deadlocked?
It's just a couple of textures changing over and over, but I'll try to check it out
SOUL
Nostalgia ❤
The love and passion from this series is gone. 😢
Can you do the other games animations as well? Oooooh yeah!
They don't have.😢
I really miss little things like this.
5:21 :D👍
Clank is just on Ratchet's back like "🫥"
More like 🫥 🚁 🫥🦇
