Ratchet & Clank is back with a bang today on PS4

Insomniac:
It’s finally here! Ratchet & Clank arrives on PlayStation 4 across the PAL region today (UK release to follow on 22nd April), with an adventure that retells their origin story and ties into the major motion picture releasing in cinemas around the globe this spring.

This has been a project that we here at Insomniac have poured ourselves into. The original 2002 Ratchet & Clank is a classic, and we worked hard to re-imagine the original game in a way that will feel familiar but very different to fans of the franchise, and also offer a perfect entry point for players who haven’t played much – or any – Ratchet & Clank.

Groovatron plus The Bouncer = nearly unstoppable!

Relientk772968d ago

Ok yeah, that is one epic combo for sure

Deadpooled2968d ago

Still 2 days to wait for this epicness :(

Mr-Dude2968d ago

Playing this brings a smile to my face. Not a lot off games do that.

Link2DaFutcha2968d ago

This is one of the most fun game experiences I've had in years. Between this and Enter the Gungeon I'm definitely getting my fill of wacky guns

TwoForce2967d ago

Piss off, troll. It's reimagining,dumbass.

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."

shinoff218347d ago (Edited 47d 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

purple10146d 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

Profchaos51d ago

I've got a platinum and done everything on two playthroughs have not encountered a bug like that

Cacabunga50d ago

Well congrats but it happened to me.. this bug is common.

S2Killinit51d ago

Never heard of anyone with that complaint.

Cacabunga50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Will it happened to me.. and if you search people are experiencing it as well. Some suggest fix but didn’t work out for me ..
People disagree like i insulted their mother.. kids in here

Good-Smurf50d ago

"We?" Let's change to just "You" first before I can even take your comment seriously.

Cacabunga50d ago

At home “we did” experience this.. i don’t care about you to include you in “we”..

I wish we got dlc for Ratchet and Clank Rift apart. I want more content for that masterpiece of a game.

badz14950d ago

yeah, would be great to have a story expansion or something for Rift Apart. with the Rift and multi-dimensional travel, there is so much potential left on the table. but I guess with the Spidey games doing bonkers and next, Wolverine, it will be some times before we see another R&C. oh...and RIP Resistance!

Knightofelemia51d ago

Meanwhile Wild Arms is forgotten about.

Good-Smurf50d ago

That had nothing to do with Insomniac at all lol.

Knightofelemia50d ago

I know I just wish Sony would recognize and remember such a great JRPG franchise.

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.

mkis007313d ago (Edited 313d 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.

PunksOnN4G313d ago

Why would it be its obvi on AMD drivers

mkis007313d ago (Edited 313d 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?

ModsDoBetter313d 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.

Christopher313d ago (Edited 313d ago )

AMD themself said it was a driver issue.

generic-user-name313d ago

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

ModsDoBetter313d 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.

DarXyde313d 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.

iAmyRose313d 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.

KeeseToast313d ago

@DarXyde
Power efficiency is not true at all this gpu generation. Nvidia‘s 4000 series is more power efficient that AMD 7000

DivineHand125313d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername313d 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.

INMATEofARKHAM313d 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.

ChasterMies313d ago

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

Good-Smurf313d 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.

MadLad313d 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.

Binarycode313d 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.

ChasterMies312d 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.

MrVux000312d 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.

1nsomniac313d 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_Box313d 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.

Binarycode313d 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.
