Some screenshots from the trailer (bad quality):

 

[Craig of War]

Is that 60fps

 

[CrysisFreak]

Orgasmic 4K particle fest boogaloo.
CAN'T WAIT

It looks so smooth and pristine, the YT compression algorithm doesn't do it justice.
Also that RT haha. So cool to see in a console game.

Craig of War I believe it's 30fps. Maybe it has a performance mode idk.

Hmm looks very smooth for 30 fps

[Fake]

Thats was great, but again I was expecting a new zone.

 

[Craig of War]

The Youtube video is 30 fps.

Im talking bout the gameplay i know the youtube vid is 30

 

[Redlancet]

if anything is true,some studios are way above the average,sony has a lot of them,and this people are working on a lot of things at the same time

 

[Swift Hunta]

So this isn't a launch title?

 

[INC]

Very clean, loads of depth with the background shit going on

Looks great to me, and not current gen, like being stated.

For a RnC game, cant really ask for more

 

[CrysisFreak]

Im talking bout the gameplay i know the youtube vid is 30

Ratchet on PS4 is 30fps and plays like a dream in terms of responsiveness, Ratchet was always very slick and smooth...

 

[mortal]

So this isn't a launch title?

No, 'launch window' so it's 2021 most likely.

 

[alstrike]

So this isn't a launch title?

Launch-ish

 

[AV]

Launch window? Fuckin' hell yeah.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Man where would Sony be without Insomniac, they making two of the PS5's big launch window exclusives.

 

[Romulus]

It definitely has too much going on the background to be current gen, the density of the action that extends beyond 100 meters is pretty insane.

 

[sobaka770]

After that compressed stream this looks 10x times better thank God. Honestly, this looks like Ratchet and Clank PS4 but more.
I don't expect major gameplay innovations but graphically and as a PS5 demo this early launch title is a sure hit. Can't wait.

And armor falling off enemies? Nice touch.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I was working during but was glancing periodically. Did I miss something or was this the exact same footage we've already seen?

 

[Senua]

Looks very good!

 

[Knitted Knight]

 

[SidViscous]

Looks fun as fuck, really like how they described the haptic feedback implementation, seems like far more than just a gimmick.

I thought this was a late 2021 title, surprised to hear it's launch window. Looks pretty far along but you have to wonder why they showed the same footage as before if it's close to completion..

 

[Caio]

So this isn't a launch title?

Launch window Title. I love it.

 

[Barakov]

Launch Window? I'm in there.

 

[Jose92]

The game looks insane at 4k.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Looks really good, all in.

Watching the 4K vid and the IQ is fantastic. The RT reflections look great as well.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

It's better than Knack, but not by much. Hopefully Sony has a launch window exclusive that has more interesting, more mature design.

Not everything has to have blood and guts bro!

 

[Chairman]

Orgasmic

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Very impressive. Surprised it might be coming sooner rather than later. Insomniac's on a role these past few years. Had to ignore the IGN chat during the (choppy...seriously IGN needs to fix up their streaming setup) demo, got pretty toxic with the usual bullocks.

 

[shenmue mugen]

Ok. I like what I see.

 

[Krisprolls]

It's better than Knack, but not by much. Hopefully Sony has a launch window exclusive that has more interesting, more mature design.

Joke post ? Ratchet is great. It's ten times better than Knack.

 

[Yakuzakazuya]

Is that Tempest engine putting in work? Sounds amazing.

 

[Dr Bass]

Man that looks so good. I loved the PS4 game, and I would buy a PS5 just to play this. The near instantaneous traversal between the huge worlds looks crazy.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I'm not talking about aesthetics or art direction. I'm talking in terms of gameplay design. These Ratchet and Clank games are extremely simplistic in design, and really target a younger demographic just coming to grips with dual analogue controls. I'm looking for something with more meat on the bones.

 

[Arkam]

Came to see a game video, saw a game video! Looks just as good as it did in the first time. Would have liekd to see nea areas, but then I also want as much of a novel experience as possible when playing.

 

[JTCx]

It's better than Knack, but not by much. Hopefully Sony has a launch window exclusive that has more interesting, more mature design.

 

[T-Barbs]

Looks insane ... Pixar level!

 

[mckmas8808]

So March 2021?

 

[Grinchy]

Watched it on the 4K TV just now and it looks really good. The reflections on Clank, the bad guy, the floors, ect are all such a nice touch.

I just played the 2016 PS4 Ratchet game like a month ago and it was so much fun. It also looked really nice in places, but this is a whole different level.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

You come up with the dumbest takes

It's really no wonder you still haven't got your thread making privileges back lol

 

[ripeavocado]

Looks funny but it's less next-gen than Knack was as PS4 launch title, yeah I know the SSD but I want more.

 

[CrysisFreak]

God I wish for DF to release a vid wherein Alex argues it's all just SSR in this gameplay.
I love that comedy...

Uh yeah, none of this is true. Between all of the weapon upgrades and the skill (platforming, combat) it takes to actually finish the game, it is HARDLY a "learn to use dual sticks" game.

Where do you come up with this stuff? It's bordering on straight up lying to try and force a narrative. The Ratchet games take skill and are great fun to play. This game is going to be very popular.

 

[sonyfifa]

Impressed. But I would be very impressed if they could crank this up to 60fps.

 

[Bryank75]

I love this series and my brother grew up on it.

Now my son loves the series, so I am really happy they are still making it with such love and care.

 

[JTCx]

Looks insane ... Pixar level!

Be careful with posts like these. Next gen police will come and find you.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

I'm actually excited, the amount of visual chaos it can do is great, love the level of destructibility, too. Mastering hopping around an arena via rifts will probably be very fun, I'm expecting the game to be less cinematic than this, or at least paced more properly with more player choice and big arenas with less scripted beats separating such action.

 

[shenmue mugen]

Impressed. But I would be very impressed if they could crank this up to 60fps.

With all those crazy particle effects, detailed and varied textures I think that's impossible.

 

[Entroyp]

What constitutes a launch window? November-January? November-March?
