Lol is this guy camping on every single dev twitter out there or what?

Saaking5175d ago

That would be so awesome.

R&C
Going Commando
Up Your Arsenal
and Deadlocked

all on 1 disk? I'd sure buy that.

KiRBY30005175d ago (Edited 5175d ago )

here i give you one :)

on topic: i'd buy them. there were too many awesome games on the PS2 that i missed. GOW collection gave me a chance to catch up and now i'm prepared for CHAOS!

i also would like Kingdom Heart collection because this gen sucks with RPG and these looked cool (while waiting for Versus).

and team ICO collection would a great excuse to play Fumito Ueda's masterpieces. :)

maskedwarrior5175d ago

Must be a slow news day. Half the stories on the front page refers to Twitter messages.

sikbeta5175d ago

This will be Amazing, count me in...

Gamers FTW!!!

FamilyGuy5175d ago

I guess there's a market for them but there are many other games that people would want before these.

Kamikaze1355175d ago

They do it because of the money this site gives them.

Cajun Chicken5175d ago (Edited 5175d ago )

I WILL buy this within an INSTANT and the port should hopefully solve the lack of online MP in Ratchet in recent games and I can't wait to play Gladiator again. It would be GREAT to have ALL the series on the PS3. Where do I sign?!?

I hear High Impact Games are pretty good at Ratchet games...

Cheeseknight285175d ago

I think I would prefer a Metal Gear Compilation with MGS4 graphics before anything else... but I'd take a Ratchet compilation.

badz1495175d ago (Edited 5175d ago )

where can I sign up and show my support? I'll try going to their website and post a comment! who wouldn't want a R&C collections?? I'm a huge fan and I would really love...scratch that...I'll DEFINITELY buy it DAY FVCKING ONE!! I really miss all the previous games in the series and with enhanced graphic + trophies?? YES PLEASE! make it happen Insomniac & Sony! BluePoint Games did an outstanding job with GoW collections! just outsource this project to them!

mal_tez925175d ago

Day one purchase for me.

They should do the same with the MGS games too.

more games ps2 games should come back in HD and Trophy support
SotC and Ico should be the first in line

darthv725175d ago

I was thinking this would happen. I am betting there will also be some type of announcement of a GT1-4 compilation with HD/trophy support as well. To coincide with GT5 release maybe?

Other series that could get the "GoW" treatment would be Jak / daxter. That would be cool.

IdleLeeSiuLung5175d ago

However, I prefer Sony bring back PS2 BC on the PS3 first, but this might be their new business model....

SullyDrake5175d ago (Edited 5175d ago )

Then a R&C Collection, and I would adore a Jak & Daxter Collection.

Only before a R&C Collection, please patch trophies into R&CF:TOD and R&C:QFB.

Edit @ Darkstorn: Yes, a Sly Cooper Collection would be great as well.

totetarrolord5175d ago

Solid 1: Integral
Solid 2: Substance
and
Solid 3: Subsistence with dedicated MGO1 servers.

All of them in HD with trophies,pleaseeeeee!!

WhatARump5175d ago

I would absolutely love to see those games in HD, the problem however is the heavy price tag. Especially since I've played and beaten the majority of those games already

If they do re-release it in HD, atleast sell it at a discounted price, such as $39.99, which will better for the consumers and will move more copies.

They absolutely should not release these on psn only, as downloading a 8 gig game is painful for most people

sikbeta5175d ago

This 2 Games are Simply Awesome...

farhsa20085175d ago

only game i want from ps2 is vice city baby.

ThatArtGuy5175d ago

Plays better with dualshock and mouse support on PC and has been out for years.

totetarrolord5175d ago

Vice City, my 1st and favorite GTA game, featuring aquaphobic Tommy and traitor Diaz...God, I loved that game!

ThatArtGuy5175d ago

Using the Katana was sooooooo much easier with the DS/mouse combination.

viking805fan5175d ago

If they put ALL of the Ratchet Games in 1 blu-ray and do a HD grahpics uplift like in the GOW collection...Id buy it! Especially if the price tag is 29.99 or 39.99

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."

shinoff218313d ago (Edited 13d 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

purple10112d 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

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

ocelot07279d ago

Strange with the ps5 being amd based it would of been more optimized for amd gpu's.

mkis007279d ago (Edited 279d 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.

PunksOnN4G279d ago

Why would it be its obvi on AMD drivers

mkis007279d ago (Edited 279d 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?

ModsDoBetter279d 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.

Christopher279d ago (Edited 279d ago )

AMD themself said it was a driver issue.

generic-user-name279d ago

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

ModsDoBetter279d 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.

DarXyde279d 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.

iAmyRose279d 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.

KeeseToast279d ago

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

DivineHand125279d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername279d 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.

INMATEofARKHAM279d 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.

ChasterMies279d ago

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

Good-Smurf279d 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.

MadLad279d 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.

Binarycode279d 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.

ChasterMies279d 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.

MrVux000278d 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.

1nsomniac279d 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_Box279d 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.

Binarycode279d 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.

Why Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal Is the Best Game in the Series

With Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart available on PS Plus, here is another great option for anyone interested in the series' former titles.

badz149344d ago

agreed. for somebody who have played them all, I think a crack in time is still the best in the series

Levii_92345d ago

This is one of my favourite games of all time from one of my favourite video game franchises. Every R&C after UYA is decent to good but a big step down in comparison to the first three games, especially this one.

GhostScholar345d ago

I think the reboot on ps4 is the best in the series. I’m not a r&c super fan so maybe it’s just me, but I definitely think the last two games are the best.
