Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart - Release Date Announced.

Not open for further replies.
Only one of those is a Sony game though.

I still believe Ratchet and Clank is basically finished and could have come out already. But, it would sell less, simply because they haven't produced enough PS5s.

Ratchet needs PS5s out there to sell. PS5 doesn't need Ratchet to sell - they'll be sold out as fast as they can be made either way.
Maybe it could come out sooner than June sure. There's definitely something to that idea. They do want more PS5s sold before it ships.

Clearly it was aiming for Feb-April window. But Returnal got pushed, so Ratchet got pushed too. And May is too busy now for them to ship it in May.

But I kinda doubt its actually ready to ship now. Working from home probably slowed their development, as it has for pretty much all devs. Now, if even basically done, they will likely be trying to add the same 60 FPS + RT mode that they added to Miles Morales.
 
Lol that's very specific. What is your basis for this? I usually hear up to 12months for launch window.
For what it's worth I also think of launch window as the release year up to spring. I suppose I think of it that way since summer is when launch craze dies down and you have a better chance to find a console

nope


ps5 ex for gt7


Sure, in that trailer from December 7th, it specifies Playstation 5 Exclusive for Ratchet.
But this latest trailer for Ratchet specified it as 'Playstation Exclusive.'

So if the updated specifications of Ratchet and GT7 in that December trailer (compared to their reveal trailers) are supposed to eradicate any concerns of them being cross gen...does the updated specification in this *newly released* Ratchet trailer have the same effect?
Or does that only work one way for you (and you're just going to ignore that actual change)?

I'm simply going by what I see NOW.

Insomniac has already confirmed months ago that Ratchet & Clank will only release on PS5, and not on PS4.

I remember fondly when Insomniac hid the PS4 'port' (even though we know it was the other was around) until less than 2 months from it's release and a few days before PS5 pre orders went live.

I'm not saying they're gonna do it again..but don't be surprised of they do it again.
And with that, I'm out this thread.
 
This was the reason I was so keen to get my hands on the PS5 - I love Ratchet & Clank games and the visuals look stunning. Very much excited to get my hands on this, the team worked hard on this one.
 
I'm a weirdo that vastly preferred the Resident Evil 4/5 style of gameplay to the new horror FPS type.

I still haven't played 7 to get a good feeling for the new genre shift though.
It's all good. I have a feeling that RE Village is gonna contain some action sequences like RE4/5, in first person obviously. I think it'll be a good blend of the slower paced/action oriented RE titles.

wouldn't read much from this new trailer as separation (ps ex vs ps5 ex vs console ex) was needed when many titles were presented imho, also I think I read some interviews with insomniac they said new ratched wound't be possible on ps4

As much as I want it that preorder price is insane.

I've done my part complaining on the blog, so now I'll wait for a sale.
 
If FF16 and Horizon FW launch this year I will be overjoyed but I just have a hard time holding my breath. Since day one those two games have just screamed "2022" to me. Hope I am wrong.



Christian Bale Oooo GIF

Agree, Final Fantasy 16 and God of War Ragnarok I Doubt will make 2021.

Horizon I can imagine coming November 2021, it would be 4 and a half years since the original but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't make it till 2022 either
 
April: Returnal

July: ff7: remake ps5
August: nothing
September: gran turismo 7
October: no major exclusives, but the usual big third party holiday games
November: horizon forbidden west
December: The Last of Us part 2 "remastered" (just an excuse to resell the game for 70 bucks with the mp that should have been in the ps4 version and some ps5 visual and performance modes)
January 22: No major exclusives
Feb 22: no major exclusives
March 22: no major exclusives
April 22: god of war next

Hoping this is a meaty game filled with awesome Rift Puzzles.

A Crack In Time is the best in the series with great puzzles and a meaty campaign.

They are charging $70 instead of $40, so it better be.
 
Might preorder this, good time to launch no next gen games, plus stock issues should be fixed by then, yeh should do really well, hope they change up the gameplay, needs a refresh.
 
So, 7 months after launch for another next gen game.
Yay
why even bother with idiotic comment like this?

70$ for the game? i hope that the game has at least 20h campaign for that kind of money. there is no excuse for this kind of price.

Based on those pre-order bonuses I will take that is 99% certainty we will be playing as the female lorax? (I mean tails different) ? Still...pretty damn awesome :D

Can not wait, have 100% every Ratchet and Clank title and this will be no different!
