Another PS exclusive makes the move to PC. Nixxes are handling this one, so it should at least be in better shape than TLOU.


From Steam;

played it on ps5 on release (in fact I think it came with my console?) anyway its alright. pretty fun game, nothing crazy.
The haptic feedback on the ps5 controller is actually more annoying then a must have feature.

Flippin' heck. I wish they wouldn't just do the latest versions of things and start at the first ones. OK, no need to port every R&C game but the original one that they tarted up for the movie a few years ago would have been ideal. It's a fantastic game. Same with Uncharted. I guess we are never going to see 1-3 on PC.

I never played a Ratchet and Clank game prior to Rift Apart and it all made sense to me. Not a complex plot by any means.

Thought it was excellent by the way. I seem to recall playing it at 40fps on PS5

Such a fun game with some brilliant moments. It’s like playing a Pixar movie. The controller haptics are well worth having, although they are a tad overdone.

no that was overblown nonsense. nothing fundamental to the game relies on the world loading that fast. its mostly just used for portal stuff that are part of set pieces.
I think the point the devs were making is that it wouldn't have been possible on the ropey 5400rpm SATA II drives that the PS4 was lumbered with.

Some people took it that it absolutely needed PS5's fast NVMe SSD and wouldn't run on anything else.
 
Official specs out, and they're pretty damn awesome


It's Nixxes, so a perfect PC release is to be expected.

Game supports:
DLSS 3
XeSS
FSR 2
RTAO RT shadows, RT reflections
DirectStorage 1.2 with GPU decompression

Colour me hyped.

This Will be the go to benchmark game I have no doubt that reviewers will use to test hardware against now.

It's going to be absolutely fascinating to see all the quirks with this game

It's not just about driving more frames, it's also about how fast can your GPU push frames while decompressing dozens of gigabytes of a data in real time

I have so many questions; but we will find out if there is any performance difference between brands, we'll find out if the rest of the PC specs matter and well even find out if DirectStorage increases VRAM temperature
