I wish the R&C series (first 4) got ported onto PC. I'd nolife that shit and do every achievement/secret etc. Hell, also the first two main PS3 games, too.
I think it's mostly audio/visual problems, like music not looping properly or Ratchet's helm being too big for his head. I've also heard some performance issues being mentioned on the PS3, but nothing specific.
Ratchet's various helmet in 2 and 3 are biggers than his head, ratchet's head in deadlocked is fucked in a bunch of cutscene, there is a missing music track in the final level of 1 so it reuses another one instead
oh yes, I forgot, if you push Deadlocked to the extreme, the PS3 will choke and the game will get some brief but big slowdown

good to know, guess I'll go with PSX2 with the HD pack. This guy looks like he's running it really smoothly which is promising https://youtu.be/6dwk4LOiI7k
Have fun anon, and do report back if you're gonna try it right now
I might replay them again, but I can't be bothered to dig out my Vita for it

I'll be doing it later today but the thread will probably be dead by then. These games are some of my favorites from my childhood. There's only like one healthy torrent with the collection that I could find and most are the PAL version not even NTSC, blech.

I was talking about the HD ports in general, regardless of the fact that DL got a standalone one

Yes, it came later and was digital only and had a lot of issues. The HD collection was originally planned to be all 4 games but they dropped it for some reason, maybe they didn't have time for any more than the first three.

why do you think I was talking about how fucked it was?
I played 1 and 2 recently. 1 crashed and my save data got erased. It seems that's a PSXC2 issue though. When playing through 2, I saved so fucking often into seperate files that I never dealt with any issues. Gave up playing through 3. Just burnt out from playing them back to back. I'm sure I'll go back, as I was enjoying 3 more than 1 and 2.
fucking based anon
tell me, what is your favorite weapon from each of the first 4?
mine are
RaC 1: Visibomb
RaC 2: Blitz Gun/Cannon
RaC 3: Rift Inducer
Deadlocked: Dual Vipers with Shock Mod
dual vipers is probably the best blaster we're getting for the entire series
1 the original RYNO
2 Lava gun
3 Lava gun again but even cooler when it becomes the liquid nitrogen gun, but the huwhip was cool too
For me in deadlocked it's the scorpion flail
but the blitz gun in all the games is really satisfying. To me it's one of the most underrated vidya "shotguns" imo, such a satisfying and well designed doompher
I never really used it beyond the levelling, but I'm pretty sure it's the best shotty in the series
The Shard Reaper from ToD was meh, ACiT had the Sonic Eruptor (haha funny burping), but the Constructo Shotgun was fun, even if lacking in audiovisual power
1 Tesla Coil, I think it's really interesting how in terms of your arsenal it's basically your high-capacity machine gun, but functionally it's this weird sweeping electrical arc thing. I just wish the fucking thing wasn't almost completely incapable of hitting Drek's hovering ass.
2 is the bouncer, I don't care if it's the basic bitch choice it's one of the most satisfying bomb weapons in any shooter.
3 is the shock cannon EASY with how OP sweeping the beam in third person mode (the thinking man's camera mode) is.
Deadlocked is a toss up between the flail and the harbinger for me. They're both two of the most destructive-feeling weapons in the series.
Am i the only one who actually liked the reboot?
I didn't completely dislike it, the story and characters are hot trash but it still plays fine no third person mode aside. My big problem with it will always be the fact that it borrows so much from the PS3 games that I'd rather just play the PS3 games. Like over half of the guns are just copied from the PS3 games and the remake version of Gaspar, everyone's favourite part of the remake, was just Thram from into the Nexus again basically.
I see
I didnt really mind the story changes too much, besides the fact Ratchet become a bitch to much of a bitch
Maybe its nostalgia speaking but seeing many of the planets in higher detail really made me enjoy the game (i even 100% it)
Original suffers from no strafing still
Native Sony hardware

Just buy a PS2 man
I hate RPCS3 for shitting itself on ACiT and I've heard the PS3 ports had a bunch of problems (I know for a fact the Vita ones do) so go with PSX2
>I've heard the PS3 ports had a bunch of problems
what kind of problems? I only really care about the games running at a consistent 60

The fucking final boss theme doesn’t even play for 1
phat ps2 with freemcboot
buy it on the PS3 store
both emulators are probably as demanding but there's no advantage to playing the PS3 versions over the PS2 versions if you have a choice.

Walloper, Megarocket Cannon, N90 Hurricane
Honestly don't remember much of Deadlocked so I'll go with the flail
Honourable mention: Bouncer

1 > Pyrocitor
2 > Plasma Coil or Bouncer
3 > same as 2 or Disc Blade gun
D > the one and only Flail, best weapon in the whole series

1: The RYNO - that thing is so sexy
2: Plasma Coil
3: Liquid Nitrogen Gun
Deadlocked: The Arbiter
emulates just fine on pcsx2 except there may be slight performance problems in some sections
t. 100%'d the original trilogy on pcsx2
Ps2
Am i the only one who actually liked the reboot?
Yes. Even ignoring the irrepairable damage dealt to Ratchet as a character, it was okay at best.
It was much better that the remake at least
Remake? huh?
I meant mostly gameplay wise
Bad game that's based off the movie which is based off the first game
Oh thats what i meant by Reboot
Sorry
buy a ps3 you garden gnome its like 50$
thats not be the definitive version to play at this point, especially bc of the glitches and missing content. Psx2 with HD patch is the way to go
He Fucks Rivet
Pcsx2. The HD collection is botched and Nu Insomniac are hacks
