I don't have much to say about a video this long - it's longer than most Shakespeare plays! But I do have a fun, frustrating anecdote: I spent a good chunk of today trying to figure out why my video either corrupted after rendering, OR wouldn't render at all. It turns out, something went wrong with the dumb little Star Wars Episode II clip the second time I used it. The first time? It was fine, but the second time, when I mention Star Wars Battlefront...that's what broke the video. So now there's Ratchet holding a lightsaber there instead.

That's all I've got. Thanks to you folks for being so patient on this one and so supportive as it was in the pipe - it means more than the world to me. So long as this video doesn't change Sony's mind, they're sending me an early copy of Rift Apart, so that'll be what we look at next (spoiler-free), and then it's on to Deadlocked!

Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal Retrospective

Even over 15 years later, Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal is the highest-rated game in the Ratchet franchise, and to this day it's Insomniac's most acclaimed video game. Ratchet 3 is also my favorite game of all time. BUT, that's not going to stop me from breaking the game down, digging deeper into its development than ever before, and exploring what Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal looked like during its production. I've come out of this retrospective looking at this, my favorite game of all time, MUCH differently - and I think the same will happen to you, too! This is Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. This is the most comprehensive retrospective and development documentary that's ever been produced about a Ratchet & Clank title, featuring never-before revealed information about Up Your Arsenal's development, including details on the game's cut space combat, interviews with and information sourced from former Insomniac employees that worked on Ratchet 3, and much more!
