this is a concept that has been tried multiple times, and basically attempt for this has failed. the quick wall clips, the intense movement tech, and crazy glitches are what makes the ratchet and clank speedrun entertaining to the viewier, and to the player. this simply just removes what makes the ratchet speedrun fun, and it would just end up being chargebooting around mindlessly, it would make for a very boring speedrun. this has been implemented into quest for booty, and it ends up just being a less fun any% no debug trigger run. glitchless is also a category for into the nexus, and guess what, it's the same situation as quest for booty, these are two categories that could just be removed and literally noone would care. glitchless was a category for ratchet two for a while, and was removed recently, because it's hard to define a glitch, and basically everyone knew glitches were still allowed in the category, rather than beating the game glitchless, the aim was to beat the game while glitching, just less. if you were to submit a category of nms or glitchless to catexts, theres a large chance it won't be accepted. it's just not something that we're interested in. it's so hard to define a "major skip/glitch" and make everyone else happy and agree with you. it'd just be a watered down version of the run. there are alternate categories in category extensions for the og trilogy however that have creative route differences and goals that make for entertaining categories, and could be classified as "no major skips" but with actual spice to the run

Ratchet 1: NG+ All Gold Bolts and Skill Points
Ratchet 2: NG+ All Missions
Ratchet 3: NG+ All Titanium Bolts

all three of these categories have a significant route difference from their respective full game NG+ categories and make for pretty fun to watch and run categories. All of these categories visit every planet in the game, and do more than just beat every level quickly.

like 45 or so for hv

Noone wants to run Crash% simply put. We've had more pointless categories before, like obtain log and obtain wool, and they were removed for the reason of just not being fun, that's my opinion though, maybe someone else would like a Crash% run. Sorry for taking so long to respond, you're way more likely to get a response if you just use the Discord.

Before the first run for HV was even submit, I used worstseedever, which has become the standard for most HV 1.5-1.7 runs, I believe it's worth putting out for the sake of documentation, regardless of you being able to just watch literally any beta 1.5-1.7 run to see the seed

Thanks

how crazy is this competition tho

i found this randomly. it is possible without boosts, but it was easier for me to get a clip of it with boosts. you can also do this on the left side.

Can BCPS3 get added to the version selections? It stands for "backwards-compatible PS3" which can play PS2 games, and I plan to do runs on it.
