That looked marvellous! I fully expect a big Spiderman blowout in the not too distant future also.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart – Extended Gameplay Demo I PS5, "Launch Window"
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Absolutely incredible. Build appears to be newer? The particle effects are absolutely next-gen along with the amount of animation happening on screen between random NPCs running away, reacting to R&C, enemies and enemy variety, explosions.. destruction... particles.... absolutely insane.
I like how those metal dog enemies leave behind their metal shells after getting bonked by Ratchet's mallet. The destruction doesn't seem like it fades into obscurity either which adds quite a lot to the immersion. The image quality and lighting are also on point.

To be fair, it's not like Insomniac haven't tried taking Ratchet and Clank to other genres/game styles. It just seemed like those games didn't perform nearly as well (All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault were pretty cool games). I think they figure that the fanbase seems to love classic R&C gameplay, and they're very good at it, so that's what they run with. Personally, I love the R&C "formula." It's always about the fun weapons and planets to explore, and the characters and worlds are so charming, I'm content with sticking with what ain't broke. A Crack in Time added a lot of wonderful refinements and improvements to the franchise (making solo Ratchet fun to play as, the time puzzles with Clank, etc), and I don't think long running franchises always have to shake up the core foundation of the series to be enjoyable (though it's always a pleasant surprise when that happens and works; ie, RE4, GoW PS4, Metroid Prime, etc).
I'm on board with whatever Insomniac decides to do with the series going forward, but there are certain elements that I feel are so core to what makes R&C, well, R&C, that I'd hope they keep those elements in each new title they create. Platforming, unique, upgradable weapons, and visually compelling planets to traverse. Keep those elements, and expand on the rest (which it looks like the dimension shifting is the latest new mechanic they're playing around with).
nah that's the same actor. The PS4 remake was just a one-and-done, don't consider it to be canon.
Yeah, I wonder what kind of Clank gameplay they'll have for us this time around. I loved what they did with him in ACiT.
The mainline installments are much better. Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, Tools of Destruction, and A Crack in Time are all essential.
I always shake my head when people call it a platformer. It's so much more focused on shooting than anything else. When it does throw in platforming and puzzle elements though I always enjoy them.
Maybe. I'm just glad they didn't go open world though.
This def bodes well if devs can push games out like this. Kind of insane to see.
I totally agree with this. Refinements to a formula work just as much as trying to do something differ every time.
Yeah at this point, I've seen Insomniac try to change up the formula and it didn't seem to work for a lot of people. I loved both of those games and would like to see them shake things up again in the future, but it's been like 10 years almost since the last full scale Ratchet & Clank adventure. I need this game and I needed it to be the real follow-up to A Crack in Time. Don't need a complete change of formula right now.
Don't forget how many games Insomniac released for the PS3.
Resistance 1-3
Ratchet & Clank Future Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty, A Crack in Time, Into the Nexus, All 4 One, and Full Frontal Assault
Wonder if they'll make as many games this gen ._.
No need for the fan wars. Just enjoy what we saw and don't bring up fan boy topics it's also very frowned upon around here.
Into the Nexus was so damn good. I hope they do some kind of remaster/ re-release. Nut and bots was the only one I didn't like much.
I never seem to see Ratchet reflecting in Clank, which I'd expect to happen in reflections on Clank were raytraced. In any case, the game looks super impressive and really fun. Jumping that quickly and seamlessly between completely different worlds still makes me shake my head in disbelief.
How are so many people missing that the video in the OP is the 4k upload? Or is it not available in 4k in all regions maybe
No, it's new info. The only first-party game with a date attached in the June event was Miles Morales.
It's 4K for me on PlayStation channel. Are you on Apple? Their devices don't support 4K YT until this Fall.
if it was 60 we'd have 60 fps video of it by now. this is definitely 30.
Yeah iPhone 11 Pro! Just recently replaced a S9 and wondered why videos weren't in 4k! Lame, should have stuck with Android tbh.
okay thanks. I guess I assumed that since R&C had the longest trailer and actually showed gameplay. Good to have confirmation!
Watched the whole thing now. That was super impressive, the density and effects are amazing. Definetly looks next gen to me.
great, excellent loading upgrade from first reveal, bitmap is almost imperceptible during loading. i would not be surprised they'd make it even faster...
but where the fuck is Lawrence??!
