Wait, wtf? The game is only 30fps? Wasn't the original R&C 60?


The original games were... sort of 60 FPS. There were frame drops constantly. Like it would drop from 60 down to 15 from time to time.

The game is still the most visually beautiful game since... any game. It will almost certainly be a day one purchase for me.

I really, really hope that this game marks a return to form for Insomniac. They really haven't made a truly great game since A Crack in Time.

Did you play Into the Nexus? I'd argue that was better in most ways than the mostly bland CiT. The only drawback was that it was slightly shorter, but even then my first (100%) CiT run was only two hours longer than my 100% ItN run. CiT's length is pretty much the reason Ratchet can't run classic gameplay at $60 anymore, as enjoyable as CiT was at time. 

 

Also, I've rarely heard of the kind of severe frame drop issues you're describing in the PS2 tetralogy, outside of the Endzone challenge (and some other crazy challenges) in Deadlocked. I can think of maybe a few times it'd drop to 40ish at certain points in UYA and I think one in GC, but the first game was solid everywhere unless you're actively trying to cause a drop with the RYNO. The games as a whole were known for being pretty solid though.



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
