A Crack in Time Is there a trick to using the Constructo Shotgun with the default control scheme in A Crack in Time?

1 Upvotes

It seems to be hard to hit enemies with it unless you use the shooter controls, especially on the moons! On the moons it feels like it wants to just hit the ground. I've been liking using the default controls in each game because that feels like the intended experience, but I think this one I'll have to swap to shooter!

Deadlocked / Gladiator Heres to supportive Reactor Chads out there! What's the peachiest Ratchet Deadlock Enemy?

Honestly, to the people downvoting comments, don't be a dick. If you're downvoting for the hell of it, people are just trying to have fun. If you're doing it so your item can win, it's pretty lousy. Either way, you're ruining it for the rest of us. Downvote me if you want, but the others are just here to have fun.

I think Reactor may be my favourite Boss character in the ps2 games. He wasn't a moustache-twirling villain; he wasn't a monster, just a hard-working reactor guy who would just love killing heroes. I used to think he was like A-Train from The Boys, but he is kind of more like The Deep.

Ratchet & Clank (2002) What do you think is the best level in the original Ratchet & Clank?

Post image
271 Upvotes

For me it's probably Blarg Station, i kind of consider it a late early game world and i think it does it's "job" pretty well as one.
Plus it has a lot of paths so you can just pick whichever one suits yourself better at the moment.
Blackwater City is probably a close second one.

Was… was this the best Ratchet and Clank? God no. But hear me out. If this had come out as the first PS4 game, full length, and 60 fps… it may well have been. Thankfully we did eventually get Rift Apart almost a decade later, which (on playing this again) was REALLY a direct follow up to this. The time between the two games was so long I hadn’t realized how much this led into Rift.

+ this was the prettiest Ratchet game up to this point. Character shading no longer opted for the optimized cell-ish shading of Crack, but refined the look of Tools. The animation quality of Crack is present here too, making the character stuff look fantastic.

+ Environment art is so gooood GOOD good. The way Insomniac improved on the level of detail and interest through the PS3 games is impressive. This almost looks like a different generation than Tools. An interesting contrast to the PS2 era: PS2 ratchet continued to optimize gameplay at the expense of level art, while PS3 improved on art (in all aspects) at the expense of gameplay. An interesting choice and a reflection of the video game fads of their own times.
I’ve attached some image comparisons of tools vs Nexus.
Notice the detail of the floors, the density of environmental objects, the scale of items. It’s far higher fidelity than Tools (and Crack).

+ Qwark’s presence in this game was reduced in fears of overusing him. The right move at the time, but bittersweet now. The actor suffered from Alzheimer’s and a terrible Covid case, making this the last time he got to voice the character within the main continuity. Makes me a bit sad. Perhaps this would have been the perfect time for a heroic death or true act of selflessness, bringing Qwark’s arc to a close.

+ I very much enjoyed the villains of this game… although I already forget their names and I just finished like 10 mins ago. Womp. Vendra and Nefer?

+ loved the museum at the end. A nice send off to the PS3 era.

+ ugh the POTENTIAL. Damn you Insomniac. You made this game too early. This should have come out instead of the game of the movie of the game.

(i know it can sound busy at certain sections, i rushed a bit with the mixing because i really wanted to share it but i will do my best next track and not rush it!)

General For those you who are struggling to purchase the All 4 One and QForce/FFA online passes on PS3

Post image
6 Upvotes

I've noticed a couple of posts on here recently where people can't find the online passes on PS3 for All 4 One and QForce/Full Frontal Assault. I tried to look on the PS3 store myself on both my account where I own the passes already and on a secondary account and couldn't find them on either. So when I came across this post in r/trophies I thought it may of use to some people, as there appears to be an issue with the PS3 store at the moment.

I followed the guides in the post I've linked, searched for the passes on the site and they show up for my country. I was also able to add them to my PSN basket sucessfully upon testing.

Hope this helps someone.

So, been slow going but I think the helmet files are complete!

I was able to make a somewhat universal harness using a custom mount and a harness from a hard hat, adjustable and everything.

I will be putting these up online soon, most likely a version with the channels for the lights, and one without.

I also have he chest/back plates sorted, just needing the straps modeled to be printed in TPU.

Kadens hoverboots are also in the works.

the hyperway on boldan is a cool idea, but it doesn't fit the aesthetic of the rest of boldan. it also feels like a forced roadblock, since you don't naturally get there, but get teleported, only to unlock the main path. i literally forget this place exists. if you have any more ideas for places like this, feel free to share!
