Ted Price: "It [Ratchet & Clank] started out as as a game about a girl with a stick running around this Mayan-influenced environment and was probably going to be rated M [mature] if it had ever been released," said Price, laughing. "Not because of the girl but because it was a fairly dark game."
Hanzala from eXputer: "On this joyous 8th anniversary of the Ratchet and Clank reboot, it's about time Sony considers reviving the originals to complete the saga."
It's not the ideal situation but Sony does offer them on ps plus. I to would just like a big ass compilation on doscto though
Insomniac roadmap leaked a while ago and they are making another, they’re doing the best they can and these games, especially the last two, are master pieces
Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart hardware issues are a huge problem for AMD users
Strange with the ps5 being amd based it would of been more optimized for amd gpu's.
Lets see just how widespread these issues are... doesnt make a bit of sense because the game was made for amd hardware.
: oh its just complaining over amd's poor implementation of things on the pc side.
AMD has already confirmed it's a driver-related issue on their cards. Besides, AMD 'users' can't stop telling us how not important Ray Tracing is, how they always play with it off, and how it's an 'Nvidia gimmick.' This shouldn't be a problem for them I believe.
On a side note, kudos to Nixxes and Sony for releasing one of the best PC ports in 2023. Amazing graphics with Ray Tracing, great performance, detailed system requirements, plenty of graphics options, all upscaling technologies (DLSS, FSR, and XeSS), DirectStorage 1.2, and native Mouse and Keyboard support.
People never listened when I said that this game doesn’t use “real” ray tracing on PS5. I believe it uses a very clever advanced/modified screen space reflection system. Which is why the real ray tracing doesn’t work on pc.
With Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart available on PS Plus, here is another great option for anyone interested in the series' former titles.
This is one of my favourite games of all time from one of my favourite video game franchises. Every R&C after UYA is decent to good but a big step down in comparison to the first three games, especially this one.
I think the reboot on ps4 is the best in the series. I’m not a r&c super fan so maybe it’s just me, but I definitely think the last two games are the best.
"When we showed it to Sony, who was our publisher, they said 'look, we'll support you with this, if you wanna release it, it's cool, but we don't think it's gonna do well in the market.'" said Price. "And that was a real wakeup call for me and I had to admit that we needed to kill this one and start over."
Love how Sony is always supportive. Jaffe himself said that Sony really offers you creative freedom unlike no other: I cannot help but think that Activision, for example, played a large hand in dumbing down IW's Modern Warfare.
I would like to see this "girl with a stick" game though lol.
That was a real nice read.
I think Resistance strayed far away from Insomniac though. Resistance is dark, and quite frankly it's not Insomniac's style IMO. I cannot deny that these guys deliver THE most constant stream of AA-AAA titles for the PS3, but I did not like Resistance coming from Insomniac. I always loved Insomniac for their spunky attitude, humor, and platforming fun with their franchises. Resistance had no character, Nathan Hale was so generic, the story tried to be really serious, and it was just another FPS. Granted that they pioneered the huge MP games for the PS3, but Insomniac is way better than Resistance IMO. I am surprised to hear that they OK'd Resistance but not this "girl with a stick" game that clearly sounds much more original.
I know they are working on new IPs and I'd love for them to return to their platforming greatness. Spyro, Ratchet, I want the next evolution of their mascot. Jak and Daxter, R&C, Sly Cooper, Spyro, Crash-- these are some of Sony's best platforming legacies and I simply want another one of these light-hearted platforming games. R&C has run its course (disappointed they didn't include MP this gen-- they had "platform Multiplayer" even before UC2) and I am hoping for a new game in spiritual success to R&C and Spyro.
@Action
I definitely applaud Insomniac for that, but I'd rather have seen "girl on a stick" over "alternate WWII FPS" I know Resistance has its fans, and I understand why, but I could never get into the series.
hehe a girl with a stick,I heard about it years ago and still sounds erotic to this day. I wonder if they ever released some artworks I'd like to see it...speaking of sticks teehee
