Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart announcement

Ratchet games have similar game play... and no one cares about story/writing...
I bought the remake on PS4 for $20 and still felt burned, very dissapointed.im sure its gonna be a good game for the fans i just couldn't enjoy it, and was really looking for a fun cartoony platformer outside Nintendo and yes the writting was part of it.jesus christ i get nightmares just thinking about it 😨

I didn't realize that you spoke for every person in the world. I always care about story/writing in games. ALWAYS, and if it's fucked up, than that hurts the game. Regardless if the "game play is good"

Well they don't speak for everyone in the world but I do.

And Pineapple doesnt fucking belong on pizza.

OT: Game looks dope.
 
Best looking game in the presentation with RT & crazy particle effects
But I called 30fps when I saw typical 30fps motion blur effects on screen. They're clearly sacrificing framerate for visual fidelity.

It's Sony. Of course they are going to sacrifice fps for visual quality.

Yeap, trailers are out. Clearly 30fps. Hope they have a 60 performance mode.
 
I watched this again with the higher quality version on the 4K TV and god damn does it look good.

The original stream kinda made all these games look like shit compared to what they actually look like.
 
What's the innuendo in the title this time? it's flying over my head.
my thoughts exactly. i don't think they chose to go with one.
'Drift Apart'. From my impression, Ratchet gets cozy with Female Lombax and slowly drifts apart from Clank. The trailer even shows R&C being separated, putting further emphasis on my theory.
They haven't done that since Quest for Booty.

This series is characterised by one word «nice» and this fits to this game too. Just like the ps4 game was nice so does this new one looks nice.
 
Looks absolutely beautiful, and there's something to be said about already knowing that it will play well. R&C is one of those few franchises where I really want it to be just more of the same.

The Resident Evil 8 trailer is also not 60, but we can expect 60 from RE Engine I assume, we even have that now. By that notion we can hopefully presume the trailers are not necessarily representative of the performance profile.
 
The world jumping is very cool, surely showing off some SSD streaming there, I assume?

The assets look very sharp. Can't help but notice some FR dips but I bet that is ironed out. Still early.
 
Best in show. This was my dream announcement for PS5, If I don't get one at launch I'll absolutely get one in time for this.

People don't seem to understand what the rift-hopping part of the demo implied in terms of how it's going to utilise the SSD.
 
Looks awesome. Can't wait.

Hopefully it's a launch title! 🤞

Now all I need is Naughty Dog to give me a NEW Jak & Daxter! 🙌
 
I went there and somehow ended up on Aaron Greenberg's tweeter account. What a sad little bunch those people at MS are.

Incredible showing. I'm hyped for Spider-man (Insomniac putting in work) Horizon, GT7 and Demons Souls too but they didn't show as well as R&C.

Played through the PS4 game countless times for my son, he was 3 when it came out.... now he is at Shadows of Yharnam in Bloodborne.
 
Anyone still unable to think how this SSD can change how certain games are designed and played?

It shouldn't take a ton of creativity to think of the possibilities.
 
This looks awesome and for me this , Horizon Forbidden West and RE8 were the standouts of the conference. Hopefully that Maggs writer's influence was sufficiently reined in
 
Hopefully Magg's involvement was reigned in. It also seems like she left in January and her work was taken over by another person, Lauren Mee, who was previously at Telltale, so we'll see how the writing turns out.
 
In regards to the visuals, if you'd told me this was a ps4 game i'd believe you in a heartbeat. Looks cool, though.
 
The actual gameplay trailer:



Only "jumps" instant:





and for level changes/segment changes hidden loading screen, starts as soon as the camera zooms in:



not nearly as impressive as the announcement trailer.
