I'm sure the story will be alright

I’m probably sure this writer will probably make the female character a “strong, independent woman who don’t need no man”.

 

[The Last Stand]

The dimensional premise is an interesting one. I'm thinking if they could, they would go between "eras." Like PS2 Metropolis or events and then PS3 Metropolis. Like how Crack in Time played around with time travel and manipulation, Rift Apart can play around with different worlds in one.

Also, Rift Apart. Rip a Fart. Lol. Insomniac still got it.

That's what they said about Ratchet & Clank 2016, in reference to the prior entry. I don't know. $CURRENT_YEAR has never failed to disappoint me yet in terms of actual good writing.

2016 was bad but more because of corporate marketing rather than current year. I'd try to be optimistic since apperantly Spider Man was good and there might have been someone to reign the 'tism in.

I trust that Insomniac having the reigns to write their own script, they will provide typical Ratchet & Clank fare.

Could this be @Y2K Baby's GOTY simply because of the name alone?

I can get behind baiting porn.. But to say it 'fueled' you? That's a bit too direct. "Oh yeah fuck, give her big blue eyes that'll shine well with a cummed-on smirk!"

At least her hammer looks like a cool weapon.

 

[The Last Stand]

The female Lombax will be playable in Rift Apart.

 

[The Last Stand]

Here is extended gameplay footage of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Looks familiar to what was shown at PlayStation's showcase.

Insomniac Games confirmed in that showcase that Rift Apart takes place after Into the Nexus. But will be a standalone experience. Very nice for veterans and newcomers.

I still can't get over the rift ability with going from dimension to dimension seamlessly. That is a techinal marvel in and of itself.

I noticed that the health bar is just a bar. Not indicated by numbers like before. I don't like that personally.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

The fact this takes place in the OG timeline makes my interest skyrocket. Didn't hate the remake but it did feel like a watered-down version of the original.

Off topic, but I hope to snag the PS2 versions of Ratchet And Clank next month. They’re on sale for about $15-$20 each.

Though, I still wish they did a crossover game with Jak & Daxter

This makes me want sly Cooper on ps4

God I wish. That or a new Jak (but by a studio other than current Naughty Dog).

God I wish. That or a new Jak (but by a studio other than current Naughty Dog).

If current Naughty Dog rebooted Jak, chances are it would be Jak embracing a sex change or something.

The Rift Apart footage, from cutscenes alone, characters move more lively than the reboot. Great improvement.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

60FPS option confirmed!

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Will Offer 4K/30 FPS and 60 FPS Resolution Modes - IGN

An interview with Famitsu confirmed that the game will feature two resolution modes for players to choose from, focusing on frame rate or graphical fidelity.

As of now, that link isn't working.

Was the reboot locked at 30 FPS? This would make gameplay more smooth, especially with the rift ability.

Though, I still wish they did a crossover game with Jak & Daxter

Technically, Sony did two "crossover" games with R&C and Jak and Daxter.

PlayStation Move Heroes, which was a party game utilizing the PlayStation Move, for the PS3. That had Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper.

And PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, a Smash Bros like fighting game, for the PS3. That included Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, and other Sony exclusive characters.


None of them are canon for either of their franchises. And Insomniac wasn't "directly involved" with it.

Weird, looks like the whole website is down.

And yeah, Insomniac basically swore off 60FPS a decade ago... until now of course.

Were the original PS2 games 60 FPS? With the technology being developed for next gen, it shouldn't be an excuse to not have 60 FPS and a good art direction. Key word: art, not graphics. The best looking graphics can be dull as hell. See: The Order 1886.

Yes, they were. Which is another reason the remake was inferior considering the original literally ran better (and animated better too if the cutscenes are anything to go by).

 

[The Doom Slayer]

I'd really like it if the past R&C games became playable on PS4 (or PS5 I guess) but since Sony has made it pretty clear they give zero fucks about backwards compatibility beyond the bare minimum I don't have much faith in it happening.

I'd even take ports at this point but even that they are pretty damn inconsistent and slow about.
