Remove Mario 3d world from.there it's a port

Vits1401d ago

Bowser's Fury is a complete new thing though. And albeit it is small and short. It is a ridiculous fun time.

GOULDYBOBS1401d ago

Each to their own. It's more of the same. The only thing ridiculous is the price

Vits1401d ago

@GOULDYBOBS

More of the same? It is a completely different take of the 3D Mario formula. Going for a open world with environmental changes.

I agree that the price shouldn't be $60. But saying that it is more of the same. Is very disingenuous.

bouzebbal1400d ago

Bowser fury is so repetitive.. ended up muting the tv the soundtrack is so repetitive and sucks. 3D world is a far better game

NeoGamer2321401d ago

Just really nice to see that games other then RPGs, action-adventures, and shooters can really do well.

Rimeskeem1401d ago

I know this isn't 2021 but Sackboy was a really fun coop platformer!

badz1491400d ago

ok that's it...I'm buying the game right now for my PS4! screw waiting for the PS5, tried several months, no luck!

Rimeskeem1400d ago

It's just a fun game with friends. Sackboy always has been, it is online as well so you can play with other friends who have it.

LordoftheCritics1401d ago (Edited 1401d ago )

That's why its been such a slow game year. Not much of a platformer fan.

R&C has my attention though.

TheDoomedGuy1401d ago

To be fair there isn't much platforming in ratchet and clank.

It's mostly an action adventure similar to it uncharted in genre

fitofficial1401d ago

Yep, very little platforming nowadays. More "press button to see pretty thing".

fitofficial1401d ago

Play the old ones. They're much better. Original trilogy is one of if not the best in PS history.

toxic-inferno1401d ago

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is the best game in the genre that I've played since the early PS2 days. Granted, I may have missed a few gems along the way, but there's no doubt that Rift Apart is an instant classic. Nothing hugely innovative - just a fantastic adventure!

How ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Did Dual Protagonists Right (And Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Didn’t)

Shaz from Pixel Swish: “Both Insomniac Games and Ubisoft have given us games with dual protagonists. However, where Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart’s duo feel exactly the same, Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Yasuke and Naoe feel unique.”

They are exactly the same because it's another version of Ratchet within the multiverse. It's not Ratchet himself or a female version of him but it's someone else who's taken his place / role within that Universe.

The_Hooligan80d ago

Agreed! A better comparison take would have been between AC Syndicate and AC Shadows.

gold_drake82d ago

with ratchet, they are the same, they play the exact same.

im not even sure why this needs to be said, we all know.

isarai82d ago

They weren't trying to make them play differently, literally 2 versions of the same person. Wo ur saying they failed at something they never set out to do 🤨

Profchaos80d ago

What in the f who even thought of that concept and connect these two games that released years apart and have nothing to do with each other.

You could of said fuel protagonist vs other times where AC did duel protagonist or a game like GTA v that allows for on the fly switching

Like how desperate are they for clicks

Levii_9280d ago

Rivet's character was more useless and forced than Abby from TLOU2.

MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol? Also remeber how a beloved vilain Dr Neferious was reduced to a braindead wimp and a parody of himself?

P_Bomb80d ago

“MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol?”

It’s still going on. Especially @ Marvel.

Our First Look At FSR 4? AMD's New AI Upscaling Tech Is Impressive

DigitalFoundry : Running on AMD's new Radeon 9070-series GPUs at CES 2025, a machine learning upscaling demo of Sony's Ratchet and Clank is almost certainly FSR 4 AI upscaling - and as it's running on Ratchet and Clank - our 'go to game' for AI upscaling quality tests, we could really put the tech through its paces. Oliver and Alex are at the show - and this is their report.

They're saying better than PSSR! Impressive.. guess it's really close to Nvidia's solution. I'm interested in seeing how the 9070XT or whatever their highest end card will perform, we already know AMD are only aiming for the mid range (or upper mid range) with these new cards but it will still be interesting to see how they compare to a 5070Ti on price/performance.

But certain apps don't play well with AMD that do with Nvidia cards, shame because these cards could be great/price performance.. but not an issue for pure gamers.

883167d ago

Visually it may well be similar to DLSS, but they were quick to point out that they do not have any actual performance data at this point. Time will tell, but it is definitely promising and good to see them impressing.

Psychonaut85167d ago

Interesting. Since AMD is largely behind PSSR, they’ve now sort of have two different upscalers in play. Curious to see how it all pans out.

piroh214d ago

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic213d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23213d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1213d ago (Edited 213d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger204d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.
