Ratchet and Clank State of Play!

no not really. He's got a series about the game engine he's building. It's pretty cool stuff.

Ratchet and clank is cool, but to devote an entire state of play to it?? kinda weak tbh. This shouldn't have even been a state of play. should have just been put out by insomniac on YouTube or something.

This guys reaction had me geeking and he's die hard playstation. 22:10 time stamp is when it gets good lol

Sony can’t beat Nintendo in platformers.😂

Either you have not played Mario, or you have not played Ratchet and Clank. They really are not all that similar. Ratchet and Clank games actually have story and weapon upgrades. Mario does not even try to act like it has story and you get zero choice in how your character performs (no real upgrade systems in place so nothing to actually invest in)

Don't get me wrong, I love some Mario games, but Ratchet and Clank is hardly a poor mans Mario.

Colour me skeptical.

That RIFT mechanic looks to make exploration a pain, and the constnat shifts in environments could hurt the atmosphere. Also never been a fan of specifically marked props. Wall Run props in particular.

The amount of stuff happening at any given time is ridiculous! This will look so good at 60fps.

Is that supposed to be a platformer? Oh well, I forgot Sony never managed to do anything good even after trying their hardest to copy Mario/Sonic.

And so much for the power of the SSD and the game still works exactly like a game from a HDD would. Not an iota of change in game design. Developers still has to go through all the hoops to hide the loading.

Very impressive loading or lack of it and LOL at the Mario comparisons.

It may look cartoony but the gunplay seems solid. And it's certainly a graphics showcase.

Bro im gonna be honest im worried about this game.

Crash 4 didn't do so hot is this better than that it seems like the same audience for this and like crash and like jak and daxter just im not into them back then and im not into them now i was laready a late teen when those dropped they were targeting kids back than kids now play call of duty an stuff right?

I look at this game and i just cannot believe how Nintendo fans wouldn't want these kind of visuals in their next 3d mario, metroid and especially zelda. How incredibly stupid of you to say that visuals (and in this case, performance as well since the game is in 60fps) don't matter in a good game, and constantly repeat that gameplay is more important. THE dumbest fanboys around.

Because they have actual gameplay and level design. Sony can even design a competent game even if their life depends on it. Almost 3 decades later they still haven't made a competent game let alone a revolutionary one or even a revolutionary mechanic. They can try to hide behind the production values all they want but the games themselves are sh*t tier.

Can Nintendo do better in terms of specs and visuals? Sure but I would take BOTW on PC any day over Horizon. Same goes for platformers.

@pc_rocks: So what are you trying to imply here? That if the visuals were to be upgraded in a Nintendo game, that the gameplay will somehow become on par with AssCreed aka Horizon? Like who said that Nintendo is all of a sudden supposed to create games like Sony? I am talking about the visuals, not gameplay. Obviously the gameplay would stay the same, why would it change? Better graphics don't downgrade the gameplay.

I'm saying the complete opposite. You implied that people should not play Nintendo games over Sony's because of visuals to which I replied why anyone would think otherwise even when visuals are extremely sub par.

Whaaat? How the hell did you come to that conclusion? I said that R&C visuals would look great in Nintendo exclusives as the three examples given, and this is not the first time i say something similar. Got quoted a bunch of times by Nintendo fanboys responding with pretty much exactly what you did, the "gameplay>graphics" card, when nobody mentioned anything about the gameplay being downgraded because of upgraded visuals.

Toy Story 1 and 2, level graphics

The game looks really pretty. Not a game Coolyfett would play, but yes it does look good.

Even if you didn't say anything about gameplay it came across as one where you sh*tting on Nintendo's games to which the obvious response was with al their technical deficiencies they were still one of the best games in their respective genres. I would love if Nintendo would get rid of Switch and instead make games for PCs or even their own powerful hardware however it is what it is.

On another thought, I don't know if that's a good idea. Games in the AAA space suffers from overbloated budgets that are wasted on production values with almost nothing to show for in the gameplay department.

What's expensive is all the mo-cap and voice acting. If the likes of Zelda/Mario (and Nintendo games in general) stay as is, there won't any budget increases worth talking about. Better visuals and fps will only attract new gamers to their systems, which is more sales for them.
