Sony fanboys already said to Series owners, they "don't care about old games". That is what we have heard them say, article after article when Microsoft did this.

purple1011121d ago

Are we talking old free games. To keep and own forever..

Or old games you pay £15 a month to rent. And never own.?

iplay1up21120d ago

A lot of games getting a Series X boost I already own. Also I paid $29.99 for 3 months of Ultimate.

Si-Fly1119d ago

I get your point but technically we don’t own our PS Plus collection either as we have to have an active subscription to access it.

Teflon021119d ago

Si fly this was a free game to keep even without plus. Also plus games are always accessible as long as you have plus. Game pass games expire so that's a big difference.

Toncsipapa1119d ago

Mister fanboooyy looks like you never tried game pass...why dont you just be happy about this andnleave the other side? Does it hurt you that game pass is a good value?....looks like yes...

They dont care about tons of crappy games from 10 or 15 years ago. Or even last gen. But great games is another stuff. I think many should even be remaked. Because no BC cant fix how bad they look today. I hope bluepoint keeps doing remakes, like Demons Souls. I think they should have even another studio for that.

Futureshark1119d ago

Wow, this spoilt little man-baby is really upset he hasn't got his PS5 yet and can't play the excellent R&C at 60fps now.
"I have all systems accept PS5. That is only because I haven't found one yet."

Ahhhh, poor diddums, I'm sure you'll get one soon.

Einhander19711119d ago

I already own Ratchet and many other ps4 games on disc. So when I play these older titles on my ps5 I getting even better performance from them. So its win win for me.

masterfox1119d ago

lol at the Microsoft did this,

Actually MS is the only thing they did since the release of their console, to play old games with gamepass, meanwhile Sony on release date they actually release next gen titles, if Sony went the route of MS and make play past gen games the main premise to buy a PS5 console so yes I would be pretty upset, the main reason why each generation start is so damn awesome is because this consoles portrays what they can do, and Sony knows this and have being doing this since decades and this some of the reason why they are always on top, and not recurring cheap tactics like MS to convince people to buy their console to keep playing past gen/old games.

And the other thing you are so wrong imo, is that you are comparing Multiplatform games to Playstation exclusives, lol and that's a big mistake , Playstation Exclusives even at 30 fps or unlock framerate back in the PS4 years are way more appealing to see that any other multiplatform at the market, even running those multiplaform games running at 60 fps, because Playstation exclusive uses different style of visuals that makes them greater graphically, new effects, motion, details, physics, etc. yesterday was playing Rachet and Clank in the Volcano level don't remember the name of the planet, and holy hell, it literally Pixar and with 60fps is something to behold, and this is not even new Rachet and Clank for the PS5!, you really need to have a Playstation 5 to experience it for your self. Again imo Playstation 5 completed perfectly the launch of their new gen console and now they are just adding extra stuff without affecting the main premise of the console appeal, to play next gen games!, the following months PS5 will receive next gen games, and you MS what you will receive?, oh yeah Xboost in some games lol :D

Just finished it ☺️. Class in 60fps. Unbelievably beautiful!

where-eagles-dare1119d ago

I was playing this gem for hours yesterday on PS5 & it's absolutely brilliant what the team at Insomniac have done. It is so smooth & quick that it actually took me a wee while before I could get used to the enhanced buttery velvet frame-rate. Once I did, it was incredible to play & a real joy.

It's so good, you could be forgiven for mistaking this title to be a new PS5 game. Can't wait to get my paws on Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, releasing on the 11th June that I've pre ordered.

Shane Kim1119d ago

1440p for a launch ps4 game is kind of dissapointing though. Perhaps it's just how the game is coded.

CML21119d ago

The game came out in 2016.

Starman691118d ago

Trust me pal. It doesn't disappoint. Stunning tbh!

Abear211119d ago (Edited 1119d ago )

Silky goodness! Please keep the upgrades coming, it’s nice to go back and experience improved performance and not just have to stream it

8 Years Later, It's About Time Sony Revives The Rest Of Ratchet And Clank

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."

shinoff21835d ago (Edited 5d ago )

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

purple1015d 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

AMD users left in the dirt with "ludicrous" Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart hardware issues

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.

mkis007272d ago (Edited 272d 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.

PunksOnN4G272d ago

Why would it be its obvi on AMD drivers

mkis007272d ago (Edited 272d 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?

ModsDoBetter272d 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.

Christopher272d ago (Edited 272d ago )

AMD themself said it was a driver issue.

generic-user-name271d ago

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

ModsDoBetter271d 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.

DarXyde272d 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.

iAmyRose272d 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.

KeeseToast272d ago

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

DivineHand125271d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername272d 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.

INMATEofARKHAM272d 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.

ChasterMies272d ago

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

Good-Smurf272d 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.

MadLad272d 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.

Binarycode272d 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.

ChasterMies271d 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.

MrVux000271d 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.

1nsomniac272d 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_Box272d 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.

Binarycode271d 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.

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