COG: Gamers around the world have been waiting to see the power of the PS5. Yes, titles like Demon's Souls and Returnal gave us a taste but Ratchet and Clank's dimension-shifting masterpiece is a glowing example of the possibilities of the PS5.
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've been using a mod that allows dlss frame gen on my 3080 it works on all rtx series. It'll be good not to rely on mods for the future.
I think that the leaks about the 5 Pro would debunk the notion that the two (FSR 3.1 and PSSR) are the same technology. PSSR is a Sony technology.
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.
Did you see the dell leaks were they are trying to cool cards using over 1k watts of power.
We are going to need 220 lines for next gen pcs lol
As much as I hate supporting Nvidia, AMD just doesn't even try to compete. Their whole business model is to beat Nvidia purely on price. But I'd rather pay for better performance and better features. AMD also doesn't even try to innovate. They just follow Nvidia's lead and make their own version of whatever Nvidia is doing. But they're always 1 or 2 generations behind when it comes to those software/driver innovations, so Nvidia is always miles ahead in quality and performance.
I do a lot of work on photoshop so an Intel Nvidia set up has been the got to because of performance edge, more expensive but far more stable too. Intel also have the edge over AMD processors with better load distribution on the cores, less spikes and jitters. When you're working large format you don't want lag or spikes when you're editing or drawing.
I do think AMD has improved massively though and whist I don't think they threaten Nvidia on the tech side they do make very well priced cards and processors for the power. I'm probably going with a 5080 or 5090 but AMD will get a little side look from me, which is a first in a long time... but like you said they are a generation or two behind at the moment.
While I can't argue for amd gpu, they aren't bad but they aren't great either. The cpu for amd have great. I would argue the 7800x3d as one of the best cpu for gaming right now. Idk about editing so I take ur word for that but gaming amd cpu is a great option these days.
@Goosejuice
I have a 7800X3D. It certainly is great for gaming. Though for video editing, rendering, etc, I think Intel have the advantage from what I remember. I just mean from a GPU standpoint I can't support them.
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
New data from the recent ransomware attack on Insomniac reveals that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart sold nearly 4 million copies.
And zeref was running around all day saying it lost 8 million, turns out it made around 64 million in profit lmao.
As much as i loved the trailers before release, this game felt like a major disappointment to me on many aspects.. the first and most important is the big lack of variety almost for the first time in the series. Weapons are so boring, levels are very classic and gadgets all deja vu.
The hack with Clank felt also very clumsy and very frustrating and the world is still classic with level select. I dont understand why not use SSD to move from level to another with no break.
This game is worst R&C i have played (i platinumed every single one of them).. into the nexus on PS3 was far more enjoyable than this one.
Its not like the number was made up by anyone here… it was included in a report from the same hacked files.
Where are you coming up with 64 million ?
Cool, thanks for the link. Nice to see it looks like it did make a profit, really love the R&C games and would hate for them them to go away.
Well, certain people jumped the gun and failed to take in to account that particular slide was dated from 2020 and was just a projection, running with it like it was already a done deal and a failure.
True, though I would argue just as many people ran with it for the positive numbers of Spiderman as well haha.
I would also argue that just the date on the file is not actually enough to make any assumptions on what it was used for or how accurate it could be, its not like its uncommon to see a file continuously updated over a long period of time.
Same with these new numbers, all these hacked details really lack a lot of context to try to use them to come up with definitive numbers for anything, so ídeally all these sites should report them in a more responsible manner (if they decided to report on them at all, which is a whole different topic)
@Crash so it only made $64M back but had a budget of $81M lol seems like they’re still in the negatives my boy by $17M
It cost $81 million to make and it sold $145 million by mid 2022. Hence $64 million in profit, and only more since then.
Wiz you tried to hard. 64 mill looks like was profitable. For then to say profit they would've already took off the cost
@Badz @Shinoff yeah I do lol but it’s obvious you three goof troops don’t. It’s only made $73M in revenue with a budget of $81M that’s a $8M loss .. my numbers was a little off but still a loss lol

When you share a link read it first lol
"UPDATE 12/19: New sales information has revealed Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart was profitable for Insomniac. In addition, the leaked data was reportedly from before the launch of the game's PC port."
@wanted bro how much more you think it sold on PC when its struggling to hold more then 9K concurrent players on stream .. also if it was profitable like yall say why did Sony put the next on pause so Insomniac can focus on marvel IPs ??
Not bad for an exclusive platformer
Sony needs to take more chances and do other platformers aswell as bringing old ones back, especially Jak and Daxter.
Knack 1 was rough.
Knack 2? Surprisingly fun time. Had a lot of fun with it. It was a great game to start introducing my son into gaming.
Also not an Insomniac game. That was Marc Cerny and "Japan Studio". I'd be down for a current gen sequel, it'd be interesting to see what they'd do.
I prefer Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter I platinum it twice so I probably don't care about that game anymore.
Sly Cooper is a tough one for me. Great game, but Sucker Punch has evolved so much as a studio that it feels like their talents are underutilized by returning to the franchise.
Ghost of Tsushima was so damn good that I see great potential beyond Sly Cooper.
It was indeed released on PC this year 2023 but that 4 Million count, base on the article, was from its initial launch 2021 up until following 2022 which all came from PlayStation 5 alone.
I'd take an HD up rezzed version of the Resistance Trilogy please. One of my favorite FPS shooters during the PS3 era.
Honestly, I can't think of an Insomniac game I've not liked(my exception is that I've never played Sunset which looked fun, but I couldn't justify an XBone purchase back then either).
Gimmie more! LoL.
Curious as to the release order of these currently leaked things. Spidey 2 DLC... Ratchet sequel, Venom standalone... Spidey 3 will almost certainly be Next Gen at this point.

These are great, wholesome games that are just a blast. I always recommend these games to parents and everyone loves them. I wish they were working on another.
Demons Souls, Returnal, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart are all great games and are visually stunning.
Then we have Horizon: Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok which are likely to set new graphical benchmarks. On top of that Deviation Games and Jade Raymond’s Studio Haven are making PS5 games.
The fur!!!! Crazy graphics from Insmoniac. To Think they achieve this in the first year of the PS5.
lol I haven't finish up the main story and already want a sequel!!!, yes Rift Apart is that effing AMAZING!!!
Playing at Performance RT and in several points in the game tried to cause as much havok or create as much debris, particle, destruction, etc I can, so I can see if some frame drops, but not a single drop of slowdown saw in these moments, and holy hell more impressive off all that is that all that destruction is physically based, very similar to Returnal or even better, for years and years wanted that physics effects alongside stunning visuals were a default thing in videogames cause they add so much greatness to a game, but only just a few games had some of these effects in the past (mostly PS exclusives Uncharted 4 example), but now with the PS5 it seems this will come true, not only that, that performance hungry eating FX RT is also included, even today with the most expensive PCs out there can struggle to have all these four effects happening at the same time, seriously the PS5 is damn impressive and this just began!
No ps5 for me but I'd love to play this game. I think once naughty dogs new ip comes along that's going to be best graphics this gen
If you try and explore too far you'll fall through the scenery and when that happens it breaks this amazing technical masterpiece illusion to bits.
