According to a new rumor, the schedule for the preview embargo of Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is just a few days away.
Gary Green said: Ratchet & Clank is a curious franchise as you never know what will happen next. Back in the PS2 era, we had regular releases featuring full sequels every year or two. It was a schedule which continued into the PS3 era with equally regular releases yet these were often downgraded to budget-priced shorter games or spin-offs. You could tell those creators over at Insomniac were running out of ideas.
A 6? Strong disagree on this one. Huge fan of the franchise and really enjoyed this game. But to each their own. Hope there is another one in the works (I know Insomniac is pretty busy haha).
Last September, we unleashed AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3)1 on the gaming world, delivering massive FPS improvements in supported games.
So to put 2 and 2 together... FSR 3.1 is releasing later this year and the launch game to support it is Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart. In Sony's DevNet documentation it shows Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart as the example for PSSR. PS5 Pro also launches later this year... but there is something else coming too: AMD RDNA 4 Cards (The very same technology thats in the Pro). So, PSSR is either FSR 3.1 or its a direct collaboration with AMD for that builds on FSR 3.1. Somehow they are related. I think PSSR is FSR 3.1 with the bonus of AI... now lets see if RDNA 4 cards also include an AI block.
More details:
FSR 3.1 fixes Frame Generation
If you have a 30 series RTX card you can now use DLSS3 with FSR Frame Generation (No 40 Series required!)
Its Available on all Cards (we assume it will come to console)
Fixes Temporal stability
I wonder how much they fixed the ghosting in dark areas as Nvidia are leaving them in the dust with image quality. Still good that they are improving in big leaps, I'll have to see when the RTX5000 series is released who I go with... at the moment the RTX5000's are sounding like monsters.
The PS5 is an incredible console, and if you're lucky enough to have one, or have just received one for Christmas then you'll already know there is a host of great games out there.
What you may not be aware of is that if you subscribe to PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium, you'll actually get access to a huge catalogue of titles to play at any time. Many of which you can stream without having to do any downloads. If you have a PlayStation Portal you could even play these titles from your bed.
Damn the only one I’ve played so far is Miles Morales, although I do own Control and Rift Apart.
Odd list. Where is Horizon Forbidden West? Ghost of Tsushima? Demon’s Souls? Returnal? And fun indie games like Superliminal? Where’s “A Plage Tale Requiem” and “Evil West”, the current PS+ Essential offerings?
Like seriously? Those are games Extra Tier can get - so not worth upgrading to Premium
It's Ratchet. Day one!
When a review embargo drops early the devs know their game is great and have no fear of reviewers
Day 1
Oh brother.... PlayStation needs to faze out the press and do away with crap like this and get games into gamers hands sooner with streaming technology. They dont need the press when today, anyone under the sun that has a YouTube channel gets a review code anyway. They might as well re-institute the DEMO DISC. Seriously, Sony, quit shutting the consumers out. Get gaming experiences into gamers hands as quickly as possible, not doing so shows fear and like youre hiding something or lack faith in your product. Look at Returnal, for example, the Press talked it up, while gamers hated it. So whatre the Press doing for you then?
Consider how Xbox Game Pass started out, with Xbox Game Pass, consumers were the Press, they saw the development of the game from start to finish, why can Sony not do the same. Afraid of how games might run on hardware off the bat? Why do you have PS Now then? Press is a dinosaur. Evolve and adapt and find more ways to interact with your customers, not wall them off, restrict them, and segregate them. Show confidence and pride in your product, not the opposite.
Wish Insomniac would have called Rivet Ratchetta. ........ like the sound of that..... Ratchetta
