Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has changed our opinion on the haptic feedback triggers for the DuelSense controller.
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
I have only watched a few review videos, weird that most of them don't talk about the haptic feedback implementation.
Better than Astro? This should be intriguing.
Just soent the last hoyr playing on my break and wow, insomniac are wizards, the game looks and plays amazing!!!
Dual sense is cool so far , still early in the game though.
Have played the first two hours of Ratchet & Clank. I am absolutely gobsmacked. The smallest of details are stunning.
The game is incredible. Insomniac are wizards. Lastly, while I try in vain to pick my jaw back up from the floor, I'd like to give a special mention for something that took me by surprise & that's just how well the Dualsense haptic features have been expertly implemented throughout the game. Pulling the triggers on guns is amazing, you can feel rain drops and your footsteps. I also have the 3d pulse headset and the music and sound effects are crafted to a magnificent level.
Already, this is a classic and is far above anything on a technical level that I have ever had the pleasure of playing (I have played all the heavy hitters on PS4 & 5). My score so far is easily 10 out of ten.
Better than Astrobot? Mmmm I like the sound of that
