The brilliant Insomniac Games returns with a brand new PlayStation 5 exclusive, built specifically for the strengths of the new hardware. It's a wonderful technological showcase and a brilliant game. D dark10x reveals all.

Summary:

- With no day one patch, maybe on the way as soon as launch
- "The day one patch arrived when this video was already deep in production so, as noted earlier, we'll discuss that in more detail soon"
- John make an observation about not being a cross-gen and take advantage of PS5 SSD, a game not possible on last gen
- Loading times are almost instant (2:43)
- Cutscenes don't have loading time anymore. Looks and act like a Sci Fi Movie
- At the right moment is the only game that can show the potential of PS5 with load screen
- This same sequence exists in the final game and these hiccups are eliminated completely
- One single frame droped at 3:39
- In the final version, there are Portal Reflection with proper RT in action, unlike the old build (4:04)
- The SSD plays a huge part on the gameplay and teleport mechanics
- The transition between planets are showed in real time, like Star Wars between scenes, instant and no video
- (9:00) Absurd amount of fur detail
- John will reserve the second video because day one patch increase the RT resolution for x4 via CB
- The first impression are solid
- Perfomance RT mode, Perfomance mode and default Quality Mode
- Quality mode runs at 3840x2160 with DSR in place, the typical resolution is 1800p~2160p
- As again, Insomniac is using his famouns Temporal Injection Solution, so looks crysp as ever
- The deep performance will be at the second video, but without day one the quality mode runs at 30 fps
- There are sittuations of duplicate frame rate similar to Spider-Man, making 29 fps in some scenes
- John show the 3D audio (use headphones at 19:50)
- John admit R&C is a really next gen showcase

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on PS5 - this is why we need next-gen exclusives

In the wake of Sony announcing that key first-party titles are being developed to straddle the PS4 and PS5 console gene…

[papersleeves]

Gonna watch tonight. Meanwhile, I'm so fucking hyped for this game. Love the Ratchet series!

 

[roosnam1980]

fidelity mode is the way to go , performance RT mode is the second best choice , performance only mode seems a bit pointless imo

 

[Putonahappyface]

Just preordered.

 

[FunkMiller]

"A game not possible on last gen."

 

[Imtjnotu]

 

[Dr.D00p]

Pffft, I'll wait for the PC release in 2023, @8K 120fps on my shiny new 4090

 

[Represent.]

Fidelity mode wins

 

[GuinGuin]

Once again Playstation knocks it out of the park. Beautiful day to be a loyal Playstation gamer since 1998.

 

[Epic Sax CEO]

Unbelievable! The Day One patch really improves a lot, they even managed to change the resolution of the RT reflection from 1080p to full 4K!
What's Insomniac secret?

I know your goal is to burn this account and then go back to posting more on your main account, but damn you've been really pushing it lately Can't say it hasn't been entertaining though.

 

[TrebleShot]

When does this come to Gamepass and Gamepass for PC?

 

[Low Moral Fibre]

So much for a downgrade - looks like a pretty big upgrade from the pre-release stuff.

Looking forward to playing it later this week!

 

[INC]

Ratchet and clank has always been a low key show case

Theyre sonys Mario or Sonic to me, just timeless fun games

 

[Raekwon26]

Uh, these slobs again.

 

[MikeM]

Pffft, I'll wait for the PC release in 2023, @8K 120fps on my shiny new 4090

Imagine the minimum SSD requirements.

News Headlines: "PS5 Ratchet and Clank on PC announcement single-handedly boost sales of high-end SSDs. Shares of all SSD manufacturers increase 1000%"

What's Insomniac secret?

Luckily it's only a secret to the outside. As a proud member of Playstation Worldwide Studios they are surely sharing their tech and insights with the rest of the Sony teams.

 

[Thedtrain]

Happy that the portal reflects in the train station. That was my biggest issue with the June teaser last year

 

[Tripolygon]

Rendering 2 separate viewports simultaneously like the Medium but this time you can just walk across both. Ok this is some crazy shit.

 

[Dr.D00p]

No SSD will be required. The entire game will be pre-loaded into the 4090's 128GB of Vram

 

[Putonahappyface]

I need to know more details about Performance Ray Tracing as I love 60fps, but I can't take the hit to eye candy!

[jroc74]

Was waiting for this and NXGamer analysis.....

Crows are about to be extinct.. Gonna need to serve em at a buffet.

 

[Rob_27]

This is Sony's last chance for them to prove to me they can make a good AAA game or they are dead to me.
/jk (if one can have this comment why not the other). ;-)

Hopefully get mine Thurs.

"Its just doing what The Medium is doing..no big deal..."

the crows be like....

 

[kretos]

they forgot to add the best part about this game which is:

 

[dcmk7]

When is the PS4 release date?

 

[FunkMiller]

When is the PS4 release date?

Amazingly, this is actually a proper next gen game.

I know they're getting rarer and rarer these days, so it's hard to believe.

 

[MOTM]

When does this come to Gamepass and Gamepass for PC?

The same day Starfield comes to PS5.

 

[Putonahappyface]

His posts make me cringe so bad. I guess that's the whole point of his baiting posts though.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Ill be watching this later, but did they say the modes and their resolutions?

You might be right for other comments that he usually posts around the forum, some of them are clearly to bite and pick a fight, or even just trolling,
but dude! this particular one?... getting triggered by it says a lot about you too lol

 

[kretos]

my eyes are melting help

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Ill be watching this later, but did they say the modes and their resolutions?

Only for quality mode. It's mostly 4K with rare drops to 1800p.

 

[ripeavocado]

Friendly Reminder that DF has no skill and qualifications to perform any kind of "Tech Review"

They should stick to publish framerate and resolution data and shut up.

 

[Shmunter]

Ill be watching this later, but did they say the modes and their resolutions?

Saving it for a second video

 

[[Sigma]]

Performance mode looking like a waste of time with Performance RT around in this game lol.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

Graphics are absurd in this game. Also amazing that everything is improved, including RT and loading times. This is a work of art.

 

[killatopak]

dual viewport with full res and framerate.

comparing that to medium, it seems they are more experienced in that specific tech. maybe it's just the difference in manpower but still very impressive.

 

[Shmunter]

Wow, full rez RT on AMD hardware no less

How many months are we into the next gen?

 

[Jack Videogames]

Looks insane. I was planning on playing Performance RT but given that the quality mode looks like rock-solid 30fps it might be worth a go.

 

[FatKingBallman]

Rendering 2 separate viewports simultaneously like the Medium but this time you can just walk across both. Ok this is some crazy shit.

It doesn't drop to 900p/30fps, right?

 

[Tripolygon]

It doesn't drop to 900p/30fps, right?

Full resolution according to DF.

 

[BeardGawd]

Game looks amazing graphically that's for sure. I still feel like the portals are a bit of a gimmick but it does show the speed of the SSD well.

 

[Rea]

The Raytraced reflection looks so clean compared to Miles Morales. And it has upgraded too. Damn..
Insomniac -- Studio of the year.

 

[jroc74]

Full resolution according to DF.

So it doesnt have to drop resolution.....Christ.

The GDC talk for this game is gonna be something else.

 

[DonF]

Game looks fucking unbelievable. And it's a first year, launch window game. Hyped for this and the future!

 

[Shmunter]

Game looks amazing graphically that's for sure. I still feel like the portals are a bit of a gimmick but it does show the speed of the SSD well.

The game is literally titled Rift Apart. It's the central gameplay feature.

Like proclaiming guns are a gimmick in a COD game, lol.

 

[Thief1987]

Ill be watching this later, but did they say the modes and their resolutions?

Patch with additional graphics modes released when this video was mostly done. He said that thorough performance analysis will be in the next video.
