Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart – State of Play - 4k gameplay showcase
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
I can see how artistically it might not be everyone's favorite but getting past that and looking at what's going on and the scale, I don't see any game coming close to this currently. Best looking game on the console? no doubt, while also being Insomniacs best looking game to date.
Graphics look amazing of course. Gameplay has some cool aspects but doesn't do enough to shake the tired feeling I have for these games. Will definitely pick it up down the road.
Watching in 4K is the only way to really appreciate what is going on here. Nothing else comes even remotely close. And we haven't even seen it running in HDR yet.
Excited and blown away by the visuals. No mention of the 3D audio so it'll be interesting to see if it has the same muffle issue as MM and Astro. My hope is that at least all the 1st party and Sony partnered/funded games going forward will be DeS level at least. I'm fine with turning it off for 3rd party titles and BC games if I must.
the wall running and dodging, and giving Ratchet some rocket boots to hover with when he doesn't have Clank, all good stuff that makes me excited for some more interesting platforming in this game
3D audio got a brief call-out when he was describing the density of the alien worlds

Yes. I think the series can really benefit from two ongoing protagonist paths in the story. It is one of the things I loved about Sonic Adventure 2.
I've missed this type of game. I want a fully modern game with the same creativity and fun but modern controls and graphics. We definitely don't get them often enough. Insomniac looks like it's going to deliver exactly that.
The overwhelmingly positive reaction is expected, Insomniac are wizards. Crazy to think they're about to release a cross-gen 40$ game, a remastered version of Spider-Man, and a the first true next gen showcase in like 8 months.

Great visuals, but after playing Ratchet and Clank 2016 at 60 fps, this looks janky.
Hope they wont have to sacriface to mutch on the 60 fps version, because next gen should leave 30 fps behind.

The most beautiful game I've ever seen. Man, seeing what this game looks like made me wish Sony would do more colorful platformers like this. Astro's Playroom got me back into games after I got bored for awhile. I'd kill for a Jak & Daxter reboot by ND, or even a new AAA platformer in general.
Insomniac are just gods. They don't need a huge budget to make magic. Look at how often they release top quality games, it's insane to me. Best acquisition Sony has made in a really long time. Insomniac are setting the bar right now. Their efficiency is unmatched.

Ratchets not going anywhere but I expect Rivet to get her own game a la Miles.
Oh that's right, I stand corrected. That gives me some confidence.
How or why some games sound worse with it enabled is still a mystery to the general public. My hope is most launch games didn't sound so great because they didn't have the time/know-how to "optimize" (whatever that means in this context) and it'll only get better with each first party offering.
nah, it's just polish going in. Or it was a bug when we capped the trailer and we fixed it for SoP.
Ratchet's already helmed a lot of games and only two of them really dealt with his character in a substantial way.
Let the new woman character take charge.
Rivet sounds a lot like Ashley from RE4, i wonder if it's the same voice actor playing her.
Game looks bonkers, but unfortunately r&c games do nothing for me gameplay wise :(

The more hefty weight to Ratchet has been missing since Tools of Destruction really. After the PS2 games, Ratchet only got more and more nimble and light-footed, which is both good and bad imo. I too sort of miss the "more hefty" feeling of Ratchet from the PS2-era games, but I also like the more expanded moveset the games got going forward too.
Regarding the soundtrack, I don't think you have to worry honestly. Mark Mothersbaugh, one of the founders and main singer of the Post Punk/New Wave band DEVO, is doing the soundtrack. This is honestly one of the most exciting things about the game for me and it came out of nowhere. DEVO is one of my absolute favorite bands, and Mark has done a bunch of different soundtrack work throughout the years, stuff like Pee Wees Playhouse, Rugrats and Wes Anderson's films.
Remember how much better looking PS4 games got from launch? Whew, I'm scared to see what's coming from the rest of Sony's 1st parties in the future for PS5.
If this is a game within the first year, I can't even imagine what we are in for for this gen!?!
This is pure insanity!!!
