The recent rumors are true and Nixxies is bringing both Ratchet & Clank 2016 and 2021's Rift Apart to PC.
Ratchet 2016's port has been in development for years and was originally being handled by Blind Squirrel Games before Sony pulled the plug and restructured their PC strategy in 2019 and 2020.
After the success and praise of the first Spider-Man port work had immediately begun in bringing over all of Insomniac's PS4 and PS5 games.
Ratchet & Clank 2016 and Rift Apart are both completable already and it's only a matter of months until they're both released. The current idea is to sell both games as a bundle for $70
dont care, come back when they port the original 4
Is RA any better than 2016?
Just emulate them.
Already done but real PC ports would be better.
The PC enhancements include adding Ray Tracing Support to Ratchet and Clank 2016 as well as higher quality models and assets.
Dualsense support is also coming to Ratchet 2016 in a similar manner to how it was implemented in Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart.
Both games will have IGTI, DLSS, FSR, and XeSS implementation.
For lower end devices the team at Nixxies want to have a Steam Deck preset for handheld PC users and lower end devices.
While there could be possible delays the ports are expected to release this November or December to coincide with the series 21st anniversary.
Also there's going to be a PlayStation Experience in the next few months (per Grubb who also called the last SoP) and they'll probably announce a few PC ports there.
Rift Apart is like the one killer app the PS5 has. They're gonna port it? I just hope you can precompile shaders to avoid the stutter.
>Rift Apart
Really? Doesn't it require a super SSD to run? Will it just not start up if your PC doesn't have a NVME the same speed of the PS5 or were they full of shit.
>Rift Apart is like the one killer app the PS5 has
Nobody really cares about it tho, the real killer apps were going to be Horizon and God of War but then the chip shortage happened and they had to be released on the PS4. PS5's first "true" killer app is going to be Spider Man 2.
>Really? Doesn't it require a super SSD to run?
No. It only requires a regular NVMe drive with the appropiate API. In PS5's case, they have the "kraken" chip that takes care of compression and decompression. On PC, we now have DirectStorage that offloads all that stuff to the GPU and the results are essentially the same - ultra fast loadings and streaming.
Returnal works just fine. At first it required a ludicrous amount of RAM to circumvent not having the super SSD, but then they got it working on normal machines. Rift Apart is harder to port, but I doubt will require DirectStorage.
Yeah part of me was tempted to put a [and it was mediocre] spoiler. I got rid of my PS5. I beat games like Ghost of Tsushi on it, Ratchet... but it really had fuck all interesting games on it. People keep lying saying PS4 games run well on it, but they don't, most run at like 900p 30fps with potato textures. I got rid of the PS5 because I preferred to have a lot of games work well, than just a few. Not to mention cross play was pretty poorly supported - most of the games I wanted to play with other people on PC, I just couldn't.
The plus side is, I paid £449 for it, and I got £425 back after 18 months of use.
it could have run on the PS4
>Really? Doesn't it require a super SSD to run? Will it just not start up if your PC doesn't have a NVME the same speed of the PS5 or were they full of shit.
No, it's been debunked and a PS3 could have done it.
The only reason Rift Apart needs an NVMe drive is because modern devs can't into optimization.
>the real killer apps were going to be Horizon and God of War
>God of War
I thought GoW didn't include any of the gimmicks of the PS5 controller. To me it's a crossgen game that got delayed a year but that was never intended to skip PS4.
the ps5 is basically just a stronger ps4. any game that will ever come out on the ps5 could have been ported to the ps4 as well with lower resolution and framerate
the point of diminishing returns was reached long, LONG ago.
Give us Ghost goddammit
We might have to wait until the sequel or movie gets close.
Literally nobody cares about ratshit and scat 2016 on PC when the philistines have access to the actual og games through an emulator
Anal sex with Rivet
Why would you want to put your dick in her stinky ass crack
The idea of fucking a girl in her poop hole is extremely arousing for me.
I was talking about receiving
Yaaay they are porting the most mediocre ratchet and clank. Hoooray...
If they do that ps5 literally without hyperbole will have no games.
Is there hope for Gravity Rush to get ported?
gravity rush and bloodborne are the two games that will literally never be ported
how convenient, talking about a game getting ported only AFTER it leaks.
So how long will it take for someone to make a mod that fixes Rivet?
does any concept art exist to base a mod on?
otherwise any "fix" would be literal fanfiction.
well, you have me convinced anon. the fix seems possible.
Why are people in the game industry such cucks and full of söy. morons here trying to kill their sales on a furry game.
We knew since the nvidia leaks years ago, get new material.
