It was fun to collect orbs, play rocket tag with your co-op partner and turn the FPS into a slideshow via mountains of explosives. You can make your own fun in Crackdown but most of mission/activity design is complete trash. Then they repurposed the map for the second game. Then they unleashed the power of the cloud for the third. It could have been a successful series if that had packaged a Halo multiplayer beta in with each new entry to the series.

Spoiler

I have every achievement in the original. I'm an expert.

I’m still SUPER GODDAMN SALTY about how dirty they did every game after the first Crackdown. The first game was one of my favorite 360 games.

Yeah. It's a bummer. It had so much potential.

 

[recma12]

Looks insane. Especially for me as an older dude.
Feels like in-engine videogames look better than Toy Story, A Bugs Life or whatever your first CGI film was.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I know these are cutscenes but still.

this is the level of fidelity I dreamed about in the ps1/2 era and we are finally here

this gen is going to be amazing

 

[IDappa]

could of used more gameplay in this trailer but it does look very nice. keen to give it a whirl.

 

[bentanchorbolt]

Meh

Looks gorgeous but it’s not Jak & Daxter so my interest is effectively at zero.

thursday

thursday

saw that cannot wait. been re playing through ratchet and clank which has made me very keen for the new one.

 

[onQ123]

Not feeling the female lombax. It feels forced.
Game still looks great tho

What if I told you that she is really just Ratchet with purple dye

 

[Evilms]

 

[Shmunter]

Crackdown has always been garbage.

1st one was captivating for me. Played it during the golden era of 360. So much innovation during this period, so much variety.

 

[Lemondish]

Meh

This is the only negative Nancy opinion I can understand. Be more like bolt here.

 

[ZehDon]

Boy does that IQ look clean. If the gameplay holds up with that level of IQ, PS5 owners are in for a real treat!

Like I said, I got every achievement in the game. The sandbox is fun, the meat of the game is mediocre.

 

[Klayzer]

It was the same for years already, it was the same when he was on beyond3d, it was the same when he was on resetera and it's the same here. His attitude of 13 years old butthurted brat with grudge to Playstation's games doesn't change at all.

Hmmm, maybe its a pattern. Asking for a friend.

 

[acm2000]

Never understood the love people have for this series, the graphics have always been great but the gameplay gets old so fast, give me Jax & Daxter any day.

PS5 owner now, so his criticisms are totally legit now ..... I cant type this without laughing hysterically.

 

[mckmas8808]

Pixar have not put out a decent movie since Toy Story 3 and the woke transition started.

Pre woke :

Toy Story
Monsters Inc
WALL-E
Incredibles


Post woke and the firing of Lasseter for giving hugs :

Inside Out
Brave
Soul
Onward


Dreamworks however have been killing it recently.

Stop telling on yourself my guy. Don't make this weird.

 

[NikuNashi]

No idea what that means. It was a statement of fact not opinion.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

A new Jak & Daxter would make me go buy a scalped PS5. So sad that Naughty Dog is now focused on making movie-games.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Pixar bounty has been claimed. Dreamworks and disney animation is next.

Funnily though, people forget Sony's animation. They even make some for Disney, WB, and many others through Sony Pictures ImageworksVFX.






This is one of some work done for Disney:





They are the best of one of the best in the industry when it comes to VFX.

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Safe to say this is the best looking game that the gaming industry as a whole has to offer so far.

 

[AV]

GOTY? You meant as in this is going to be the only PS5 game released this year?

Yep. It's still gonna be high on my list, but that list is gonna be super fuckin' short.

 

[dr guildo]

Not the hair. Games are still many many years away from having good fur/hair shading. Limitations in hardware and all...

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Ratshit & Crank looks good!

 

[user1337]

Rivet is Commander Shepard/Naomi Hunter.

 

[ZywyPL]

Looks really nice (but then again, when R&C games didn't? ), although the levels seem rather flat and empty? The initial gameplay left a much better impression on me, everything there was so dense, packed, while in this one everything except the forest level is so... basic? Dunno how to put it into words. Hopefully the upcoming State of Play will have an extended footage of the gameplay bits, because as someone already mentioned, this "gameplay" trailer consists mainly of cut-scenes...

I’m keen to see how the performance RT mode fares this time.

I think it's safe to say the game will have the same modes as Miles Morales - Performance, Fidelity, and Performance RT. It's the same engine after all.

 

[Haggard]

I couldn`t really appreciate how good this looks until YT auto-played footage from the last R&C on PS4 directly after the trailer. The jump is massive....Memories really aren`t trustworthy when it comes to graphical fidelity in video games.

 

[Null Persp]

This game is really beautiful, so many things on screen at once and it's very clean and colorful.Great use of DOF in the gameplay section and the film grain.

 

[sncvsrtoip]

This makes me stressed as a developer

If only Cyberpunk looked like this

 

[Thief1987]

Is he an industry vetted professional to make such claims?

 

[longdi]

Is he an industry vetted professional to make such claims?

iirc short stint with EA and now a mobile developer with a slant for playstation

 

[sncvsrtoip]

ex EA developer, now working on own engine

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

Of course, but it’s all about how much further insomniac can push the engine.

 

[ZywyPL]

Of course, but it’s all about how much further insomniac can push the engine.

I don't think much will change, the time frame between the two is simply way to narrow, the team that makes R&C is finishing their years-long work, whereas the team that made MM just started working on their next project, so for any further optimization we will have to wait for Insomniac's next games that will appear 2-3 years from now.

Is he an industry vetted professional to make such claims?

He worked at DICE on Frostbite Engine.

Looking super hot. Ratchet and Clank is my childhood franchise, played all of them. Great games, can't wait for this.

Yup, I said recently those who thought Rift Apart was a marginal upgrade over the PS4 game are tripping. And that says alot, because the PS4 game is amazing.

iirc short stint with EA and now a mobile developer with a slant for playstation

Seriously...lol

I swear ppl see the wildest things that dont exist.

His Playstation slant didnt stop him from praising the hell out of Flight SImulator 2020.
And he missed some things from the first R n C trailer(s) that had some Playstation fans upset.

Even in this one, it wasnt all peaches n roses.

 

[Birdo]

My 6 Stage Ratchet & Clank Game Cycle:

1. First Sight: "Woah, that looks amazing! Like an animated movie in game form!".

2. After Ten Minutes of Playing: "This is fun, I can't wait to see where this goes".

3. After Two Hours of Playing: "So..... is this it? Is there much else to this game?".

4. After Four Hours of Playing: "I'm so fucking bored. Does this ever end?".

5. After Six Hours of Playing: "I'll take a little break and play something else" *Never plays the game again*

6. After Seeing The Next R&C Game: "Woah, that looks amazing! Like an animated movie in game form!".

 

[Heylon]

Not feeling the female lombax. It feels forced.
Game still looks great tho

Agree.

 

[Batiman]

Looks great. Please tell me it’s 60fps

It's the same for any long lasting franchise, isn't it? I for example can't finish any CoD game nowadays as I played so many of them already since the very first came out, the gameplay is more or less the same and you can diversify the experience around it only so much. And the same with R&C games, if you were with the franchise from the beginning since PS2, you already saw pretty much everything, after you get used to new graphics you realize it's the same game you've been playing for the past 20 years.

 

[Entroyp]

A REAL game developer can’t find things to nitpick because of how amazing the game looks.

And yet on GAF…..

I’m so hyped for this game. I love RnC games from start to finish.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

DF will have a top 10 best graphics video and have Ratchet and Clank at 8.

 

[Astral Dog]

Looks insane. Especially for me as an older dude.

Much better! Hell even Kingdom Hearts 3 in some ways, compared to Toy Story 1.though still looking like a videogame

People focus too much on the poly difference resolution and animation but there is more that makes a game feel super impressive like the playability factor and shading compared to old CG movies

 

[FranXico]

He wasn't too impressed with TLoU2 either.

But you know...

No moron. He's a software engineer. Mainly graphics engineer. He has a separate channel on his engine he himself is making called Hazle.

He is very technical.

Please understand, he had some harsh words to say about Halo Infinite’s graphics (like everyone with a working set of eyes). He disrespects the motherland’s most sacred treasure. Unacceptable.

(He also had done harsh things to say about TLoU)

longdi will disparage Cherno who has real world experience and praise DF in the same sentence who don't.
