Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Is A PS5 Launch Window Game

@moh06031996: What? So I am a pony by others, and an Xbot by you? LOL, I can't keep up. I was talking about how they downgraded our Ratchet from the previous debut. No biggie, it's gonna be fun either way. Day one for me.

@thecupidstunts: As the articles says "60fps on LOWER RESOLUTION"

I'm pretty sure even the PS4 pro can run this game as well in 4k@30fps....lol

With the ps5 there's always a trade off.

@Barighm: Yep. What Captain Fanboi seems not to understand is that if developers chose (on either new console) to push 60fps, they'd essentially be delivering us a game from this generation in terms of graphical fidelity and a whole host of other aspects of the game, but which manages to push its way to 60fps. THAT is what is meant by choice. It's essentially zero-sum in many ways, a give and take. To get 60fps, sacrifices must be made elsewhere, which is proven by the toggle feature in R&C, which is a feature we're going to be seeing a whole lot of in the next generation on both consoles, giving us the choice to push the graphics, etc., while remaining at 30fps or to dial some things back in order to get to 60fps.

People can huff and puff and claim they'd rather play at 60fps than see a huge leap in graphical fidelity, but they're the minority and marketing departments know it.

And here's the overarching point: This is, in fact a zero-sum game no matter how powerful the hardware gets, because there will always be demand for and reason to reach for higher graphical fidelity and other aspects of the gaming experience while balancing framerate.

Lastly, to the extent we see any difference between the consoles in terms of a particular game managing to reach 60fps on one, but not the other, it won't be the hardware that's at fault either. It will likely be a matter of the game engine and optimization working better on one platform than the other...and that could go either direction. It's becoming less likely to happen though since Sony seems to have abandoned, or at least moved away from, it's insistence on using some sort of unique proprietary hardware system like the PS3's cell processor.

@Barighm: YES, it's up to the developers of course, but when it comes to you first party games such as the case of Insomniac with Ratchet and Clank is quite embarrassing, as they are indicating the PS5 can't run it any higher or they are not interested in making gaming a better experience by choice.

@FlameVegaXV: Ignore Johnny. He's a known Xbox shill and will trash Sony any chance he gets.

@FlameVegaXV: yes...sadly it is.
