Ratchet and Clank PS4 Reboot has been delayed to Spring 2016.
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.
Maybe you are not up to date on the current state of AMD's Raytracing support and FSR.
Please tell me were you got never sony from in my comment?
"Please tell me were you got never sony from in my comment?"
This is a first party title.
Released and poorly optimised. You jump straight to AMD being completely at fault as if TLoU PC port didn't happen.
@Generic with the cope:
From DigitalFoundry,
"The comparison, which was shared by Digital Foundry, was accompanied by a written analysis that goes over some of the port's best features, such as good scalability, which allows players with the proper hardware to enjoy much better visuals than on PlayStation 5 and those with underpowered machines to have still a decent experience barring some stuttering, and issues, such as missing transparency effects at max settings, texture loading issues, shadows issues with ray tracing enabled, stability issues and more. With the additional disabling of ray tracing on AMD GPUs due to stability issues, it feels like this is yet another port that was launched in an unpolished state and that will require multiple patches to be in a truly acceptable one."
"it feels like this is yet another port that was launched in an unpolished state and that will require multiple patches to be in a truly acceptable one."
This is not solely an issue with AMD, the port is "yet another" with missing features.
AMD has always been crap compared to Nvidia. The only advantage they have is price.
And power efficiency. And arguably better performance on 1080p/1440p cards. And availability.
Nvidia cards really aren't worth hunting high and low for when there are very comparable AMD cards that are cheaper. I really have to give credit to AMD for their very frequent and consistent grind with RDNA. This issue I reckon is a developer level problem.
Can't really miss with either, but considering Jensen and Lisa are relatives, they probably laugh about these debates over a very expensive holiday dinner.
Naw AMD have had instances of being good, Nvidia do have better features, raytracing and AI performance if you play with software that uses it though.
@DarXyde
Power efficiency is not true at all this gpu generation. Nvidia‘s 4000 series is more power efficient that AMD 7000
I believe AMD offers higher vram at lower price points compared to NVidia. We have found out that this generation needs at least 8GB to load the highest detail textures at 1080p.
This issue with the drivers will eventually be fixed for Ratchet and Clank, however, the vram issue NVidia has on their midrange and entry level cards can only be fixed by spending more money on a higher end card.
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.
Not surprised by an AMD driver issue... I love they are in the market and help keep Intel honest but I've had some whacked driver issues with then so I always just go with Intel anymore.
I'm sure they'll have it fixed in the coming days, if it even takes that long, just one of the joys of PC gaming.
No issues at all on PS5 and some already called me being trolling yesterday.
No telling how well it will run on my PC because there's too things that can go wrong there being High End Nvidia stuff and everything.
Consoles are highly limiting; and when devs screw up optimizing their games on console, you're screwed. You don't have the option of powering through it.
That's why always wait and see what the game plays like on any device before you buy.
I think they've done a good job porting it to pc, but it needs to be able to run on lower end cards and should have a ram indicator to show how much video ram is being used.
That’s why I play on PS5. The user base is so big, devs can’t afford to screw up optimizing their games for it.
Looking at the overall state of PC gaming and its ports of AAA games for the past 3-4 years vs consoles ports.
Not really helping your case.
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.
Does it matter? I thought we were past this "real" nonsense. The end results matter more. If you can't distinguish, who cares. If it allows for better/more stable frame rate who cares. MS f'd everything when they started using terms like "true" and "real" in their marketing when they launched the One X last gen. People are finally starting to realize that "True 4K" doesn't matter if you have to sacrifice framerate to achieve it. In the end something always has to give if you are truly pushing the hardware.
Raytracing reflections are used on PS5 as they are in Spiderman, Same engine. tested by professionals with first hand knowledge.
PC Ray-tracings problems are bugs and on AMD side a driver issue.
Lastly if AMD want to compete in the RT space, they need to come up with a solution. As in a unique chip to do it, not just make the gpu with some driver things help it. It's miles behind Nvidia.
Usually, remakes outclass their predecessors in every way. Some games are just too good to fade into the shadow of a remake though; here's a short list of the best.
Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee is 1000% better than New and Tasty and Abe’s Exoddus is about 100,000% better than that abysmal SoulStorm.
The PS2 birthed various notable PlayStation mascots, but Ratchet and Clank appear to be the only ones that made it on every later console generation.
We needed remakes of Jak and Daxter more than pumping out an unnecessary "remake" of Last of Us.
Then again, we're hilariously now getting a "remake" of Horizon Zero Dawn, so Sony is already outdoing themselves.
People on here go at me because I always take jabs at Sony, but it's because I want to see them do better.
Do they make great games? Of course. As of this gen does their ecosystem suck? I'd say definitely yes.
They're becoming more anti consumer by the day.
Mad
It's not PlayStation bro it's Jimbo and his cronies thinking the success of because of them and not guys like Shawn layden, Andrew house etc
I get that. Jim needs to go. At the same time, we're still the consumer, and Sony is still the people doing the hiring and writing the checks. They need to stop turning a blind eye to how Playstation is being handled right now and get things back on track.
This isn't last generation. Xbox is real competition again. You're seeing a lot of people getting tired of what they're doing with the brand the last couple of years.
I don’t think so for some reason the title mascot is always given to “platformers” characters like Mario in particular when it comes to games.
Miscrosoft tried d to make master chief it’s mascot but it never really stuck because those characters appeal to a small percentage of gamers.
God of War on PS2 does have platforming elements in it, if Jak & Daxter and Ratchet can be considered platformers with the inclusion of minor platforming elements in them then so can God of War.
What a mascot is though is simply a game series based around a "named character". Solid Snake is a mascot, Gabe Logan from Syphon Filter is a mascot, Lara Croft is a mascot etc... we really don't get many franchises based around a single named protagonist anymore.
Master Chief is 100% Microsoft's mascot and yes he does appeal to a very wide range of gamers. He's a space marine much akin to the Terran in Starcraft, whats not to love.
blinx was the xb mascot, not master chief. but they gave up on blinx after the 2nd game which is sad as there was lots of potential there. They should bring him back.
So the definition of a mascot is that they have to be cartoony and platform characters? Makes little sense to me.
Mascot, Icon, whatever word you want to use, Kratos is definitely part of that Playstation definition. And yeah, Master Chief is one for Xbox for whatever it's worth.
Nahh we don’t need these kind’s of games we need more walking slimulators like Naughty Dog games and remakes of games that aren’t even 10 years old because they make money right Sony. The fact that R&C is still around AND still good is a goddamn miracle that i’m very grateful for.
lol it's funny how your only game is about Sony games because Microsoft has no games to compare to :p
Which is absolutely fine since he wasn't comparing Sony to MS in his comment to begin with.
Its obvious your just hating levii92. You can call last of us whatever the f you want Ill call it one of the best games Ive played. Also if you cant see the huge drastic difference in graphics between a ps3 and subsequent remaster to ps4 which didnt change the looks to much to a remake for ps5 where the graphics are phenomenal then thats on you lil guy. And its far from a walking simulator Id guess you never even played it.
Truth is the last of us is fantastic and if you dont wanna pay that much for it wait, if you even play ps which I doubt. It was just 50 bucks everywhere. Im still waiting until its 30 or so cause I dont like to spend over 30 40 bucks on any games these days.
On the bright side atleast you can stand in the corner or something cause I know the other system doesnt have alot going on these days.
Levii, does it bother you that the remake came out 9.25 years after the original? Would your balls not be squeezed as hard if it was delayed 9 months?
You are not wrong. The probably two biggest ps5 exclusives next year are the second chapter of FF7 (remake) and Knights of the old Republic (remake).
the last R+C (rift apart) was definitely way better than I wanted to give it credit for before playing. still one of the best, most impressive ps5 games imo.
the game is so good, the only flaw I want to highlight is the fact that it's a little bit short for my liking. I want more of it damn it!
Darn it so does that mean that the sly Cooper one that was scheduled for that year will move to 2017 now? I really hope not.
Once I saw the movie was delayed, I knew this was inevitable.
Thats a shame, but hopefully the delay give them time to perfect the game. I know it will be awesome.
So that means U4/SFV/R&C/The Division/Quantum Break are in 2016. I wonder whats next...
And i am gonna be honest here when i say i wouldnt mind the delay since this year still have Witcher 3/MGSV/Arkham Knight/Just Cause 3/Mad Max/Persona V.
So thats over 1000 hours will be spent completing those games so its awesome.
Can you fix the title so it says that the game is delayed into 2016 thanks. Also, this is a big blow to an already subpar year of exclusives for the ps4.
Every PS4 exclusive has been delayed. Even except MLB 15 The Show, even 14 The Show was delayed. Smh Sony get your shit together.
Any game Sony announces at E3 for 2016 like let's say Horizon, I will bet it's delayed.
