See, it definitely looks better on PS5 but it was a remaster on PS4 and they still had to use the same level architecture. If it would have been a completely new R&C maybe there would have been more impressive level design as well? It's not only the PS4 holding it back, they still had to build the game having the old R&C levels in mind. 

It does also look much better on PS4 Pro as it does in this comparison but that was an upgrade mid-gen and I won't mention that.

Ratchet & Clank on PS4 is a completely new game. A re-imagining. Not a remaster at all. 

Whatever it is called. It's still the same kind of levels and not a completely new thought out game. They had the old game and thought "how can we make that even better" and not "how can we build a completely new R&C game"

They build everything from scratch but it's still "we need a bridge here because there was one in the original game" and so on. 

Don't get me wrong, there is a huge difference now. I'm just one of the "PS4 games still look nice" guy and I didn't feel like that with previous gens. I really disliked games on the old platforms when new platforms released graphics wise. 

The jump may be even bigger now because PS4/XBO were already outdated at release but I'm at a point now at which everything new is nice but what we have now will be still ok in some years.
