Ready the soapbox, here are some mostly reasonable and not too out there predictions for what we might see at the PS5 event.
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."
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
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
Soulsborne games are infamously difficult. But why has that difficulty been the secret sauce to success for many of these titles in the genre?
Rewarded effort feels good.
Starting out bad at something and getting better with practice makes accomplishments meaningful.
Getting through these games feels like a journey of self improvement, lol.
You only have yourself to blame if things go poorly, but in a similar way overcoming challenge is similarly a function of your own growth.
I think because the games are fair. Gamers can tell that it’s due to their own abilities and not some BS.
I've always loved the sense of adventure and wonder in these games. There's no hand holding, there are surprises and traps everywhere and you have to figure out what some items do. Beating a heide knight was like an accomplishment for me the first time and it felt good to earn that sword he dropped. I've spent hundreds of hours in souls games ever since Kings Field on PS1. The lore is incredible and it makes you think about the history of the world you're in. I can't wait for Shadow of the Erdtree.
It's the recipe of fair difficulty, presentation, boss battles and lore that attract me to these games. The From Souls games have always had a nebulous quality to them that I find fascinating. Demystifying them is a big part of the fun.
I think its the atmosphere and gameplay. Each of these games unique ways to play and unique settings/atmospheres that are in a league of its own.
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.
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.
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?
"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.
@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.
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.
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.
@DarXyde
Power efficiency is not true at all this gpu generation. Nvidia‘s 4000 series is more power efficient that AMD 7000
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
7 Big Games We Could not See At The PS5 Reveal Event
If Final fantasy 16 shows up i'll shit my pants
I actually feel that they all could be there.
Horizon 2 is probably 90% chance , biggest out of everyone else
Ratcbet and Clank is possible cause Insomniac has several teams not just one working on Spiderman. But it also could be Resistance remake/remaster/sequel, can be anything of that.
Demon's Souls, Chance 80%. So many rumors and talk about it has to come from somewhere. And it would be a perfect fit for "Our biggest and most ambitious project yet" description. And i want it so bad.
Resident Evil 8, We heard rumors about that, and RE 7 was 2017, the team had enough time to develop something, at least a demo to show off. I personally hope it has Co-Op in a survival horror.
SIlent Hill, okay this one is also 80% chance, because recent rumor or more of a confirmation it's existence. Developed by Sony Japan and the holy trinity of originals is back.Yamaoka,Toriyama and Ito, after 15 years to bring us real Silent Hill title!
Gran Turismo 7, this onei s 85% because they always reveal the game 4-5 years before releasing. That logo was a funny mistake.
Final Fantasy 16, lowest chance out of all of these mentioned. But still a chance, 35%. Director of FF14 in helm for several years now. It must be deep in development at this point. If the deal SE with Sony continues after FF7, This could be an exclusive as well.
Why these crazy titles are possible? One word : Future.
Sony probably will want to show off games that might not even come out next year to hype up PS5.
"If you invest in the system at launch, you will not regret because there's so much more coming".
And i personally would love that, a real next gen exclusivity show off. It would make me feel like it's an E3 event.
I also would drop there Agent from Rockstar Games , because what the fuck? They still have it on their page "Coming Soon" With a PS3 Logo under it. One could only imagine a Rockstar title exclusively made for a Sony console, the things it could achieve. But this would definitely be a 1% chance, one could only hope.
Talking about Rocks, Rocksteady could also reveal their title. The history shows, they always had their games on Sony's stage with some exclusive content. It's safe to think they will be there once again. 40% chance, not so bad.
People also tend to forget, but Housemarque are working on something as well, and they said it will be a huge departure for them from games that they have made before. Goodbye small top-down games and welcome AAA third person open world ? or maybe FPS ? We have no idea, but the chances are high , 60%.
It can be any of these, or none. But one thing for sure, this event will be a bomb!
I need a racer, arcade or sim I dont care, it just has to be good.
The games im pretty much expecting are horizen 2, Spiderman 2, and the demons souls remake/bluepoints new game. Really hope to see wild and project awakening make a return perhaps.
