This or horizon have top bill in my book.
Horrible opinion are you joking lol, you could argue your opinion that you prefer the visuals of forbidden west but to claim that the mere thought of ratchet a legit technical masterclass being on the same level as horizon is crazy....that is just fanboyish drivel.Horrible opinion. Horizon Forbidden West is the best looking PS5 game, regardless if its cross-gen. Not even taking Burning Shores in to account. Spider Man 2 may unseat it.
The ssd shit is insane and way better than whatever horizon did with the horus boss fight. The problem is that it doesn’t maintain the quality of its linear levels in the open world levels where horizon outclasses it.
A last Gen granted outclassing a next Gen only game shouldn’t happen so You kinda wonder if it’sa next Gen showcase art all beyond the ssd stuff.
I think every ps5 game released by sony so far look pretty incredible. With the exceptions being god of war ragnarok, and returnal. Both still look great, but not quite as great as horizon, demons souls, or ratchet
Disagree- Rachet is NOT cross genDisagree - Demon's Souls visuals are where it's at for PS5. The rest are cross gen.
Ratchet os cross genDisagree - Demon's Souls visuals are where it's at for PS5. The rest are cross gen.
I mean we are comparing a linear cartoony pixar looking game to an open world game targeting photorealistic visuals. The comparison is already unfair.There are only 2 big open areas in the entire game tho so to use that as a measuring stick against FW is a little disingenuous imo.
Ratchet and Clank is no corridor shooter, it's not open world but it has very large impressive areas. Calling it cartoony as a beating stick is a weak argument it excels using its artstyle to the point at times it looks like a legit Pixar movie and no other game has come close to chasing the same art style, it runs ar native 4k with impeccable iq, and its reconstruction tech is the best in sonys arsenal in 60fps mode with impressive rt and damn near perfect lod consistency with the best streaming tech so far, there is serious downplay in terms of its accomplishments just based on its genre and art style.I mean we are comparing a linear cartoony pixar looking game to an open world game targeting photorealistic visuals.

If you have a vrr tv, id recommend playing in fidelity mode which will bump it up to 40 fps.Tried it for a couple of minutes now that it’s on PS+. Went with the Performance RT mode of course and it’s very impressive.
I didn’t do a A to B comparison with the other modes but to me the res difference is neglible. Somewhere between 1080p and 1440p my sense for resolution is lost,
If Insomniac manages to keep these options through the whole gen I’m gonna be one happy fellow. I guess we’ll see when Spider-Man 2 releases.
Yeah, I’d easily go for that but since the LG C8 only outputs 120 Hz at 1080p (no VRR) those patches sadly doesn’t work with my setup.If you have a vrr tv, id recommend playing in fidelity mode which will bump it up to 40 fps.
There ARE drawbacks like number of NPCs on screen, the skybox detail, and several other concessions that make the game feel next gen. Remove those and the game doesnt feel as next gen.
But others scenes are quite average.quality mode on a 75+ inch set with good hdr and it's the best looking thing period. some portions are almost unbelievable
Disagree- Rachet is NOT cross gen
Nowhere in my post did i say that Ratchet amd Clank is crossgen. I said Demon's Souls looks next gen and the rest are cross-gen meaning games such as Horizon Forbidden West and GoW Ragnarok. There is no need to state that Ratchet is PS5 only, that's a well known fact.Ratchet os cross gen
Serious tip:
Get glasses
sure! but Rachet looks Ps5 genNowhere in my post did i say that Ratchet amd Clank is crossgen. I said Demon's Souls looks next gen and the rest are cross-gen meaning games such as Horizon Forbidden West and GoW Ragnarok. There is no need to state that Ratchet is PS5 only, that's a well known fact.
I never said it looks bad or not PS5 gen. However, it's a more stylized game, so it's easier to get away with making cartoony graphics look good.sure! but Rachet looks Ps5 gen
Indeed Demon souls look good! Sometimes it still looks like a ps4 game....I never said it looks bad or not PS5 gen. However, it's a more stylized game, so it's easier to get away with making cartoony graphics look good.
It's the more realistic stuff that's more difficult to make look impressive. Hence why I believe Demon's Souls is more of a powerhouse showcase.
Ehh I highly disagree with that.Indeed Demon souls look good! Sometimes it still looks like a ps4 game....
sometimes it does look like it could be done on a ps4...Ehh I highly disagree with that.
Love this game but HDR sucks ass. It's so washed out. Easy to fix with shadows in photo mode filter turned to 0.sometimes it does look like it could be done on a ps4...
yeah , sometimes it looks great , easily one of the best graphics , but I agree that spirit form makes it look like shitLove this game but HDR sucks ass. It's so washed out. Easy to fix with shadows in photo mode filter turned to 0.
And the biggest flaw is how bad the spirit form looks and you see it most of the time.
I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Im not using cartoony as an insult. If anything, im saying the comparison is already not fair in Ratchets favor because photorealistic visuals will always gather more praise over a more cartoonish artstyle even if ratchet boasts a higher level of fidelity.Ratchet and Clank is no corridor shooter, it's not open world but it has very large impressive areas. Calling it cartoony as a beating stick is a weak argument it excels using its artstyle to the point at times it looks like a legit Pixar movie and no other game has come close to chasing the same art style, it runs ar native 4k with impeccable iq, and its reconstruction tech is the best in sonys arsenal in 60fps mode with impressive rt and damn near perfect lod consistency with the best streaming tech so far, there is serious downplay in terms of its accomplishments just based on its genre and art style.
Horizon itself uses an overly saturated art style that pops and does not need to worry as much in terms of accurate lighting and gi system due to this and yet it struggles with popin, streaming issues and several visual oddities and a foliage cutback in burning shores courtesy of its ps4 roots.
This is one of the few games actually exclusively built for the Playstation 5 vs being some cross gen thing. Great game

The black levels are pretty bad in des. Fix with filter or not. Can’t do much about it.I feel like if you guys want to get the true next gen Ratchet experience you have to play in fidelity mode. After 10 minutes your eyes will have adjusted and you can see the game with settings bumped to the max. 60 fps is compromised graphically compared to 30 just like all games that have
HDR seems good to me .. weird ...if you want an example of bad HDR look no further than Hitman 3 or Callisto Protocol.
