Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart [PC] vs [PS5] | Direct Comparison 

Thats pretty much what they did. Only the background is frozen so it doesn't look as good

Experimenting with creative loading solutions is actually really, really fun + effective. It depends of course on the scope of your game [how much resources it hoards] but most games now can easily be 100% devoid of loading screens with a little ingenuity. For example in Skyrim: load the player's immediate environment in the main menu, if the player is afk load the proximity locations, make a visual transition when entering a cave to mask a load event, load lower res textures first to expedite loading, largely imperceptible, etc.

They were comparing PS4 and PS5 regarding the instant loading rift jumping segments. I've seen tons of comments stating "Sony lied!" because the game doesn't instantly crash without Sony's fast SSD. It is a compromised experience if you have to sit and wait for noticeable loading right in the middle of an action sequence. You can play it that way, but I wouldn't want to.

@@Nick930 reminds me what they did with Spyro back in the day where going through gates it looked like he was gliding to the next area. Although he wasnt moving, it was just camera trickery

In other words, you're saying re-design the game back to old designs, ok, I believe that is the point of the PS5, a different way to design these new games

I would also like to see a new video ^

what settings are you using? mines struggling a bit but i have a ryzen 5 3600x idk if thats why seems pretty cpu heavy

@@sosahaus5999I’m running everything on medium settings with DLSS set to performance. Only using textures on high. Game is very intense especially during the fights

​@@sosahaus5999I'm hoping my threadripper 3960x can handle this

3060 Ti gang!

@@sosahaus5999The answer is right there, you're using AMD products. they dont really run good in certain games.

They just released a hotfix to fix texture filtering. Might even be the fix already

@@LosAngeles234 Hopefully! That didn't look like a texture filtering issue to me though.

Do you know if it has been fixed by now @@LosAngeles234

😂

I get review codes for almost every game i cover nowadays. But i often buy the games too because they only ever give out digital codes, and i prefer a physical collection

When you do get it I recommend getting a PS5 controller as the game is also an exceptional showcase of the controller's features, notably the haptic vibrations and triggers which honestly add alot to the experience to the point I'd say it's worth getting it for this game and any future PS PC ports. The PS5 controller works with PCs out of the box and are supported by the game natively or via Steam Inputs. The only catch is it must be used via wired cable. The good news is the cable is a standard USB to Type C connection that most smartphone chargers use.

Is controller worth getting for rachet alone? After the performance with ray tracing enabled for a 3080, I was almost alittle upset I didn't just buy a PS5 2 years ago 😢

playing it on pc rn and im amazed how it loads in new environments so quickly with the rifts

the loading is still impressive even with stutters

@@justifythewinner It's the main reason I got my PS5 (both the controller and Rift Apart). Given the PlayStation ports going forward are PS5 games you'll get some use out of the controller for those. It's ultimately subjective but if I didn't have a PS5 I'd at least have the controller for my PC. It's one those "you don't realise how a difference a feature makes until you use it" things. I thought haptic vibrations and triggers was a gimmick but the vibrations are very granular to the point it can make it feel like a wave of water is follow through the controller and the triggers can have differing resistances for effects like resisting at the half-pull so you can hold a chargeshot before fully pulling for the shot itself or adding micro-resistances as you fire an automatic gatling gun to mimic some of recoil felt through the trigger. It's also just a great alternative to an Xbox controller for games that don't use the PlayStation specific features.

No seeing an update on my end. Same issues

@@Nick930 Well, ther raytraced grass shadows now look like they should. And there has been an update.

@@Nick930 Just downloaded a patch a couple minutes ago.

No the PS5 version was made specifically FOR the PS5, so all of the coding and stuff was made to suit the consoles custom hardware. To even get it to work on PC as good as it is now is pretty impressive.

LMAO no it's really not as impressive as you think. Any PC could run it with no problems ​@@goat9295

The coping is insane in this comment 😆

@@deepabyss2816 How I'm coping when I'm spitting the facts and facts alone lol

how ? the game is for console anyway pc is not game machine

I noticed this when the balloons got shot.

I think on Playstation spatial audio might be enabled vs stereo on PC. So you lose the processed 3D sound and effects might seem more "raw" on PC, not sure though.

The issue is that we don't know if that is exactly how PS5 sounds because we don't have the 3D audio. From what we heard the PC version has more bass. Some can find it annoying while others will like it and find it more cinema like.

Not yet. I have a win 11 pc with better specs in the office but still need to figure out how to set it up without disrupting work

Its possible the stuttering was because o installed it on a secondary SSD instead of an m.2 primary. I cant remember now

Thats the biggest load of BS I've read all day. What resolution? Average FPS? FSR settings?

@@PloopChute 1080p of course on a 1080p card, though that doesn't really affect how smooth those transitions are. But if you're after framerate mostly 50-60 fps (vsync limited). And in the first part of the game occasional dips to the mid 30's due to the CPU strain of all the NPC's around the city. Odd enough on a CPU strained system smashing a huge amount of boxes with bolts has no noticeable effect on framerate. That really surprised me 😂

thanks bro :) as a pc gamer i appreciate the niceness and that youre not toxic maybe we can all get along quite well

It won't. The game flopped hard on PC as usual. 8.7k peak players lmao.

​@@user-bz9fw9bo4uMost people are probably waiting for sales. A lot of people already played it on PS5 (I did not since I do not have a PS5) as well, so there is less double-dipping.

@ChudDin exactly, we all have a love of games and what platform we use is personal preference. I'm a PC gamer as well so I see the pros to both sides. Have fun!

Rare to see a console player not bash us for their exclusives. You are a good one. ​@@user-bz9fw9bo4u I didn’t even know this was being ported till last night. Bought it immediately and no one else I know knew about it either.

My best guess would be sometime around september, maybe $10-15 off. Maybe 50% off for the holidays later.

@@Nick930 might as well pick it up!

Obviously not hdd. It was a sata SSD. Never once has a sata ssd been too slow for something like this. Future games will be installed on my nvme only to avoid this going forward. Perfectly demonstrates why insomniac said this game would "not be possible" on ps4, simply because of their heavy reliance on the new nvme ssd feature of the ps5

any ssd would do. From what ive seen there's only 1-2 second difference from sata to nvme

Oh buddy. the 2080 is an ancient graphics card. You'd be better off with a 3060 if you can afford it. I would recommend the 3090 but they are ridiculously expensive.

As i mention later in the video, its a combination of ram, ssd type, and cpu. The 5900x is faster than the i9 10900kf if I remember correctly. And your ram is a faster speed too which helps. This was also on a normal sdd rather than an m.2

@@Nick930 a sata ssd? thats like 500 vs 7000mbps here, no wonder it lagged

@@Nick930well there ya go . No wonder it wasn’t working as intended. Your being hard bottlenecked by your sata drive .

That’s subjective, crysis 3 is still beautiful to this day imo it has aged well compared to other games from that gen.

yes we have learned we cannot judge a good game on graphics alone but when graphics are done correctly it totally adds to the game. it helps with great gameplay with rift apart, its just so short, which for me tells me it was a tech demo, but a fantastic one, and maybe a chance for insomniac to fiddle around on the ps5 perhaps refining an engine whilst making an early game?

On the topic of Crysis 3, we need a Crysis 4. How about we make a Go Fund Me page for Crytek and donate them money so that they can get started making the game

Crysis 3 was quality...Using bad talking points from like 6 years ago. What a tool.

@@BillyBob_McSanchez Crysis 4 has been announced for more than a year already

i really dont believe you that you are running every setting maxed out at 4k with ray-tracing on max. without dlss at all. What is your gpu utilization like? Surely you're not getting above 100fps. Also what are your 1% lows?

@@theosclong1201 I am running in 3440x1440 (21:9). Not 4k.

@@EldenLord. whats your gpu utilization like? how many % is being used

@@theosclong1201 99% all the time.

Interesting. You're the first person who's reported similar issues using nvme m.2. What is your cpu, ram, and gpu?

@@Nick930 it's a few generations behind but an i5-10400f , 32gb ddr4 @3600mhz, and a 2070 super

I wonder if it's the 10th Gen CPU hampering your performances would be interesting to see if your other PC with the upgraded CPU would reduce the the stutter/loading between portals. Though I believe RTX IO is enabled in this game, doing the Pre-built benchmark for it (Google it) would be interesting to see what performance that shows

I think PCs have better drivers in general for stuff like audio, especially if you have an excellent motherboard like from ASUS where the functionality works out of the box.

saw an ssd vs harddrive vs nvme comparison video. A sata ssd is only 1 sec slower than nvme

1) the pc i used is my main PC, i havent properly tested the new one and am working on that now 2) the current pc shown is absolutrly no slouch. An i9 10900kf, 32gb ddr4 3200mhz ram, ssd, and an rtx 4090 is MORE than capable

Sandisk extreme sata III i think.

I wouldn't call Into The Nexus a prequel, it just hints at the Dimensionator being fixed. If you're going to use that logic then Tools of Destruction should also be ported because it introduces the Dimensionator to the series.

@PlebNC Oh, no, i worded that badly, my bad. I'm aware it's not fully a prequel, i was just made aware where it its in the timeline by a very rude spoiler. Though the story is half-connected, i do understand what you mean. :) Well, i'd honestly shit my pants if we even got just one port of the older games :o But yes, Tools would be a hell of an experience on PC. I was a little too ecstatic, i apologize. Size Matters anyone? No? Just me? But they could fix all the bu-😂😂

​@@PlebNCscrew it, ratchet and clank original trilogy on PC

they did use it. Direct Storage 1.2. Might be a bit buggy though so maybe they can work on it to improve it further.

they did, its needed LOL, this game just had actual competent devs working on throughput and it shows

​@@lehast226And RTX IO which also just came out.

Fighting chance my friend the ps5 player is already finished that game past 2 years and the PC player feels like a virgin about the experience we already know a year year before you taste...

No it won't lol. Huge lies in this. Have a 120hz tv and the 4k modes NEVER go WAY BEYOND 30. They mgith go 2-3 fps higher but that's barely even noticeable. Half the time the console struggles to do the 4k modes which is disappointing and makes you want to say why did they bother...

But my 4k computer can go to 60fps (dont have the 120hz monitor) with ease and no issues and looks 20x better as well. But of course it did cost double that a ps5 does but still the ps5 feels like a really low end PC to me.

i don't know if they can, unless direct storage has an update that make sit faster. I swear Nixxes said Direct Storage 1.2 was the ONLY reason they could do a port

There’s simply no nvme fast enough to compete with the ps5 that’s why the pc struggles

@@chasethechosenone8478 well you definitely own one lol. Not true, you can get drives like the 990 pro that beat it and you've got gen 5 drives now which are nearly double the speed. Gen 3 Vs Gen 4 makes nearly no difference in the rift sequence, you're talking tenths of a second. The reason for the hitching is just the port to pc which will improve with patches, PS5 running a version of Linux as OS helps.

Its possible you are using a card from before the "20 series" nvidia gpu line. Those older cards dont support ray tracing. If not, then maybe its a bug you're experiencing?

@@Nick930 I'm using a 6750XT tho I think they said ray tracing wasn't going to be available on amd cards for some reason, probably because it's bugged or has performance issues.

cope

Ofcourse it looks comparable if the most you get is the option to let the game look the same as it looks on the PS5. If they went out of their way to add even more enhanced graphics settings for high-end PC's the story would be way different. Look at games like Cyberpunk 2077 for instance. Maxed out path tracing on an RTX 4090 blows the PS5 version of the game out of the water. They could've just made how it looks on the PS5 "max" settings for PC and people like you would be placing that exact comment. In reality this game runs 100+ FPS on a RTX 4090 which means the RTX 4090 could've handled way better looking graphics settings than the PS5 ever could.

And sir, ofcourse it looks better on the PS5 if the PC version is bugged. I would like to see a PS5 side by side of CP2077 path tracing with any RTX 40 series pc. 100+ FPS on one side while 1 FPS on the other. But somehow everything's so comparable now. Soon you'll be enjoying ultra realistic unreal engine 5 games on sub 30 fps, 1440p on a PS5, while the PS5 Pro (you'll have to purchase) can run it natively on 4K 30 FPS.
