This is the reason to get a PS3 :O

Tired4425d ago

This makes me happy...I'm a grown man_30 years and counting. I've only played ratchet an clank in the ps3 , but they are well rounded and fun. Worth a couple of hours of investment....look forward to seeing where it began.

Tired4425d ago

Hope it's 3D too. I didn't buy All 4 one because the 3D demo was SO bad. Hopefully they've made it as least as good as the god of war remakes.

zeal0us4424d ago

I remember getting the first ratchet and clank with my Ps2. It was the first series from Insomniac I fell in love with.

badz1494423d ago

Let me give you an advice. Never buy any Insomniac games for their 3D. I'm a huge fan of Insomniac and even I can't help but admitting that their 3D is bad! Sorry Ted Price and co but this is the truth. It's true that All4One and Resistance 3 have 3D but you will be disappointed with them.

Buy them for the story and gameplay instead and you should. Personally, I think All4One is the best coop game this gen for a platformer where cooperative and competitive elements are truly well blended! And it has good story to boot too.

h311rais3r4423d ago

Wait...the reason to get a ps3 is to rebuy games u most likely already own? Mgs4 and other AAA exclusives is why I bought mine.......

mascia4423d ago

I don't know about that, but this is excellent! I've yet to buy a ratchet game for my ps3 and now I can find them all on one sexy bluray disc.

badz1494423d ago

You should give them all a go after you play the collection! For those not too keen on coop, All4One might not appeal much to them but it's still a full fledged R&C game continuing the story after Crack in Time. The humor, arsenal of weapons and gameplay stay true to the main R&C game, so fans of the game still feel right at home! Not to forget that the coop is so much fun and challenging too!

hulk_bash19874423d ago

No, actually they were reasons to buy a PS2. Ratchet and Clank is one of Sony's best franchises and definitely one of my favorites. Can't wait to relive the universe in HD.

SoapShoes4423d ago

I already have with Tools of Destruction and Crack in Time. haha

hulk_bash19874422d ago

Touche haha. I shud have put "relive the older games"

badz1494423d ago

No kidding. I am a huge fan of the series! This is my most wanted HD collection too. 1080p 60fps and 720p 3D are promised too which are just icing on the cake! Can't wait!

I just screamed like a little girl, a Ratchet and Clank collection is something I've wanted for the longest time now.

M83_4423d ago

It looks fantastic. I have the sly collection but this blows it out of the water. I should really consider buying more hd remakes because they seem really worth it. Should I get the gow collection?

Toman854423d ago (Edited 4423d ago )

Yes you should. Jak And Daxter Collection is god damn lovely too if you dont have it!

1080p remake and if you have 3D enabled TV then you have 720p 3D. It is confirmed for this lovely collection

morkendo234423d ago (Edited 4423d ago )

im on my way to buy it now...oops, not out yet ohh pooey.

p.s.

after viewing photos the gameplay look the same but brighter, still a good buy for a collection.

despair4423d ago

1080p, 60fps, 3 platinum trophies and my 3 favorite games of one of my favorite series of all time...yea...excited is not a strong enough word.

SaffronCurse4423d ago

Don't forget they didn't take away Up your Arsenals Mp! I heard it was pretty awesome on the ps2.

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."

shinoff21836d ago (Edited 6d 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

purple1016d 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.

mkis007273d ago (Edited 273d 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.

PunksOnN4G273d ago

Why would it be its obvi on AMD drivers

mkis007273d ago (Edited 273d 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?

ModsDoBetter273d 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.

Christopher273d ago (Edited 273d ago )

AMD themself said it was a driver issue.

generic-user-name272d ago

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

ModsDoBetter272d 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.

DarXyde273d 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.

iAmyRose273d 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

DivineHand125272d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername273d 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.

INMATEofARKHAM273d 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.

ChasterMies273d ago

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

Good-Smurf273d 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.

MadLad273d 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.

Binarycode273d 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.

ChasterMies272d 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.

MrVux000272d 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.

1nsomniac273d 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.

Binarycode272d 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.

NecrumOddBoy436d 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.
