E3 2015 exclusive – Ratchet & Clank hands-on preview impressions video - PSU

PlayStation Universe writes:

"Live from E3 2015, the PSU team turns its attention to Sony’s booth at the much-anticipated Ratchet & Clank on PS4.

Kyle and Will went hands-on with Insomniac’s next entry in the platforming series, which is a remake of the original PS2 classic. The game will be released alongside the movie in the first half of 2016, and our guys absolutely loved it."

I am a little upset Sony left this out of their press conference...

It looks fantastic and it should have been shown

WickedLester3251d ago (Edited 3251d ago )

Agreed! They should've left out "Dreams" (I'm still trying to figure out WTF that was) and the PS Vue stuff and included footage of this, Everybody's Gone To The Rapture, and Rime.

Retroman3251d ago (Edited 3251d ago )

"Dreams"

from what i understood it is up grade step from "LittleBIGplanet" instead of using sackboy,swoop as main characters . you CREATE your own characters , action games, sidescrolling space shooter, beat em ups, run an gun games . it's littlebigplant but Higher scale .

Ratchet & clank is in AWE!!! Beautiful.

Clover9043251d ago

Bullcrap! Dreams looks breathtakingly beautiful. I have no idea how it plays, but I'm definitely intrigued.

mikeslemonade3251d ago

Looks stale to me but I will get it because I'm starving for a 3D platformer. Even though Ratcher historically is more of a shooter than a real platformer.

freshslicepizza3251d ago (Edited 3251d ago )

this ratchet game looks fantastic, i have the two retail games on my ps3 and really like the franchise but the graphics on this look insane.

dreams is another create your own game stuff. i am a bit peeved this is what media molecule does mostly instead of creating actual games (tearaway looks very good). fantastic tools but not for me. I have little big planet 2 and got bored of it after a short time.

I agree with the comment above. I would have rather seen this, than Destiny gameplay...

ICANPLAYGAMES23251d ago (Edited 3251d ago )

Why would it disappoint anyone that it wasn't given time during the press conference? I believe some footage was in the sizzle reel, and you knew it would have some coverage over the next couple of days in the show floor coverage. Maybe if the conference wasn't good, but that wasn't the case. At any rate, I'm excited for this, as I could always go for more R & C.

WickedLester3251d ago (Edited 3251d ago )

"why would it disappoint anyone that it wasn't given time during the press conference?"

Because it damn well deserved it that's why. More so than some of the other things they spent time on.

Dreams basically looked like Project Spark on an acid trip. I'm so sick of all this "You be the game creator" bullshit. I don't WANT to be the game creator. If I did I'd go back to school and take programming. I want to be the game PLAYER and leave the game creation up to the professionals.

ICANPLAYGAMES23251d ago

Wound a little tight are we? Look, I agree sure it deserved it, but so do the lesser known IPs (which might not be for us, but there are enough of that audience out there, that does like that kind of thing). Besides, Sony has been doing this for a while, this whole eclectic, something for everyone approach. This has been one of the most focused conferences they've put out, so what if every second of their conference wasn't geared towards your liking, loosen up.

ps5fanboy3251d ago

Agree we should have seen way more of this than destiny and TV , we should have seen way more of morpheous and dreams(2nd best in show imo)

PizzaSteve3251d ago

I feel like Sony don't push Ratchet enough. He is the mascot now. We may never get Crash back.

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

purple10121d ago

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

Strange with the ps5 being amd based it would of been more optimized for amd gpu's.

mkis007288d ago (Edited 288d ago )

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.

PunksOnN4G288d ago

Why would it be its obvi on AMD drivers

mkis007288d ago (Edited 288d ago )

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?

ModsDoBetter288d ago

"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.

Christopher288d ago (Edited 288d ago )

AMD themself said it was a driver issue.

generic-user-name288d ago

You should probably make sure it is Sony before trying to fling mud.

ModsDoBetter288d ago

@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.

DarXyde288d ago

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.

iAmyRose288d ago

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.

KeeseToast288d ago

@DarXyde
Power efficiency is not true at all this gpu generation. Nvidia‘s 4000 series is more power efficient that AMD 7000

DivineHand125288d ago

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.

CantThinkOfAUsername288d ago

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.

INMATEofARKHAM288d ago

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.

ChasterMies288d ago

Imma just sayin’, this is why I play on consoles.

Good-Smurf288d ago

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.

MadLad288d ago

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.

Binarycode288d ago

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.

ChasterMies287d ago

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.

MrVux000287d ago

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.

1nsomniac288d ago

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.

Outside_ofthe_Box288d ago

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.

Binarycode288d ago

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.

Three Original Games That Still Stand Tall Alongside Their Remakes

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.

Missing Resident Evil 2 and 3. Arguably Resident Evil 1 as well.

NecrumOddBoy452d ago

Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee is 1000% better than New and Tasty and Abe’s Exoddus is about 100,000% better than that abysmal SoulStorm.
