The story really picks up, though, with the introduction of Kit, the alternate-universe counterpart to Clank.

She displays growth and vulnerability as her character plays off of a partially disabled Clank. That might sound like the start to a particularly trite fan-fiction story, but Rivet actually develops into an interesting character in her own right.
This new dimension introduces Rivet, an alternate-dimension female version of Ratchet who is a key part of the underground resistance against the all-powerful Emperor Nefarious. Eventually, Nefarious and our heroes get sucked into a dimension where an alternate-Nefarious has uncharacteristically succeeded in becoming the unquestioned emperor of the entire cosmos.
RATCHET AND CLANK PC RIP SERIES
Nefarious and his crew of grunts re-break the gun in an attempt to steal it, that sets off a roller coaster ride through a series of dimensional rifts. The parade ends with Clank giving Ratchet a repaired Dimensionator gun in the hopes he can use it to track down other members of the missing Lombax species. This doubles as a series overview for newcomers and fans alike. So, Rift Apart starts with a parade for the long-dormant heroes-as in, you run and jump over parade floats, watched by massive crowds.

(Note: This section contains some significant spoilers for characters and locations that are revealed partway through the game. But after the novelty wears off, the rifts start to feel like a flashy gimmick that’s not really necessary to sell an otherwise solid entry in this time-tested run-and-gun franchise. Playing through Rift Apart more than nine months after that first reveal, the overwhelming “wow factor” of those through-the-rift transitions still holds up. Those sequences packed in new scenery and enemies loaded nearly instantaneously from storage. Early gameplay footage focused on the titular heroes flying through portal-like holes torn in the sky to be transported seamlessly to completely new environments.
RATCHET AND CLANK PC RIP HOW TO
And anyone who knows how to rip ALL of the weapons from the PS3 games, please, please PM me.Further Reading Doom (2016) single-player review: Back to basicsIn the run-up to the launch of the PlayStation 5, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was placed front and center as a game that would embody the promise and potential of the new console hardware and its high-speed SSD storage. If someone has the texture tool or knows where the ratchet modding discord is, please PM me. Technically I can rip the singleplayer skins using a different tool, but they won't have textures, as the link to the texture tool is down. Can get gadgets but the sizing's a little odd, can't compare to a baseline Ratchet model that's not from TMR because I can't rip it.
RaC 2's weapons are all ripped already, but not on TMR because DemonBoy, the one who ripped them, never uploaded them, but they are on his Deviantart at least. Multiplayer weapons are not an ideal substitute as they're lower poly and only have the N90. Very inconsistent, but really, it doesn't matter.ĮDIT: So the level editor I'm using can't seem to get most of the singleplayer weapons, ship parts/textures or singleplayer skins properly. So far it's a bit weird and dependent on the model itself. I'll need to do some testing, but for now I believe they'll need to be scaled down to 50% of the size of the extracted mesh to get the size consistent with the other models here. Ripping from the HD collection is now possible for me! However, I don't believe it'll be in scale with the other models here. Holy heckaroni whoever made the Replanetizer level editor - thank you so much.
