Welcome to r/RatchetAndClank

Last year I got a copy of ratchet and clank (2016) for ps4. I have never played any games in the series and I know basically nothing about it. Based on the name I assumed it was a remake of first game in the series and I heard rift apart was good so I could play that next. Anyway I finally decided to play it today so I just watched the intro but I was a little confused, so I looked it up to be sure this was the first game in the series, and sure enough it is more complicated than that.

My question is, for someone going into the series blind, what is the best way to experience it? what order do I play them in? I do have lots of older consoles so would it be worth the time and money to go game hunting for the originals? should I just play the 2016 game first to see if i like the series in general first? Thank you

I was born in 94. My brother and I played the heck out of ratchet and clank through up your arsenal on PS2. Things changed financially for my family and we never got another gaming system. We played that ps2 until I graduated in 2012. Madden, ratchet and clank, need for speed, jak and daxter, sly cooper was all we had.

Now, at 31, we are in a financial position for my wife and I to get each other birthday presents. In the last two years our careers have both grown. She wanted to get me something and when she asked if I would like it I said “well, if you want to spend that much then get me a PS5”. So she did.

I’ve not had a birthday present in 10 years. I’m so happy. Madden, NCAA, sly cooper collection, and Rift Apart. Rift Apart is incredible. I see the complaints some of yall have but for me, it brings so much joy. I’ve only had it for a few days and I’ll only get an hour or two here and there to play (3 kids). But it’s so much fun. The gameplay, the cut scenes, the attention to detail, the story line. I love it!

Which Ratchet and clank games between Up Your Arsenal and Rift apart that I just HAVE to download before they end up not available? Thanks in advance!

TLDR: back in gaming after forever. Always loved R&C, Rift Apart is great. Give me advice of which R&C games I should absolutely download to catch up on lost time.

Earlier this week I posted about a foil metallic poster that I picked up for the original Ratchet and Clank (https://www.reddit.com/r/RatchetAndClank/comments/1ibrazh/foil_poster_information/). While I was at the thrift store, they also had a going commando foil metallic poster that I had passed on at the time. Today I returned, and they still had the poster! Here’s a photo of it, I figured I’d make a follow up post in case anyone in the future finds one of these posters they could reference the Reddit thread for any information that is provided or discovered about them.

Playing the game on my PC (emulated) on a completely new save for the second time ever (1st was on ps2, 11yrs ago), if I abandon the bolt glitch in rilgar sewers on my FIRST playthrough, can I redo the glitch again on my SECOND, third, fourth etc playthrough afterwards? Want the RYNO again because that thing was BROKEN imo.

James Arnold Taylor is the Ratchet voice actor and I could swear he has to be the voice actor for this obscure animated move. The movie is The Wild Life, released in 2016, and the character is Tuesday the parrot.

The cast shows that it's David Howard but here's the kicker, is almost like that guy doesn't really exist. No IMDB photos, zero other credits, literally shows up for this movie and that's it. Did James use an alias for this for some reason? Is David a perfect match to Ratchet? Am I crazy!?!

Hi,

After finishing Blizar, I noticed that the spybot still show as uncollected when I've finished the Trudy quest and collected all the 60 stones (quest is checked on the map).

Any known way to fix that please ?

I've already had to reload a previous save because the chief engineer didn't trigger on Blizar, so this really start to take the fun out of this amazing game.

Snowed in and taking a time machine back to 2002 🔧🔩

What an adventure! Rift Apart all played completely on my Steam deck , great story, graphics and fun!!

So I've been using RaCman to play the Randomizer mod for Ratchet 1 and updated to the latest version and it just doesn't work for some reason. I know that its a software issue, however i'm just not smart enough in computer science to fix it on my own. I was hoping someone here may have had the same problem and/or know how to fix/help me. I'll put the exception text from the error down below

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Wasn’t sure if it fit with ‘meme’ tag or ‘fan creation’ because I believe it best categorises as a shitpost with extra flavour.

Hey guys so I’ve started challenge mode and what I’ve been told is you can go level 5+ and I’ve been using the magma buster only but I’ve just stayed on level 6 and I’ve upgraded it 100% just wanna know if there is a fix to this

This was the most badass cover poster for me out of the 4 titles that were on the PS2. I enjoyed UYA more but this wasn’t too bad of a play through. The weapons were fun.

I played this game as a kid (sorry if this makes you feel old), and I think it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. Stop giving it hate and giving long ass explanations. Nobody wants to hear that. This is a silly little game stop complaining.

Does anyone know if the camera controls in the trilogy are also inverted like in the originals? I remember it that way and am now wondering if they improved it in the PS3 version.

Dear Insomniac,

Please put all games in the PS Store,live streaming service is shiiit please I beg youu

Thank you🙂

Hi guys! The last console I played was early PS3, and love all the ratchet and clank up this period.

I have just got a PS5 and wondering how it all works, and basically how I can play those ratchet and clank games again!

Basically, I'm a little confused by the PS plus subscriptions and the purchasing of games. I used to just put a bloody CD in and go for it 😂

What do I need to so to be able to able to play some of these games again? What do I need to buy?
