Forums - Sony Discussion - Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart - PC Max vs PS5 vs PC Very Low - First Look

Chrkeller on 27 July 2023

No idea about minimum specs but as a game it was amazing. One of the better games I've played in a long time.

But people told me it's was impossible to have this game on lower specs than the mighty PS5... WTF

Isn't the minimum comparable to a PS4? What a turn around...

DF tried to run the game with a PS4 specced HDD, it stuttered and eventually crashed.
The minimum still requires better storage speeds than what comes in the ps4.

All of which leads us onto one of the more inane discussion points we've seen: the fact that the game runs on slower machines with no SSD when Insomniac claimed that the SSD was essential for the game they'd created. First of all, the difference between the console experience and the 'very low' setting is frankly immense in terms of data transfer. Secondly, the comment was likely made in relation to the other development platform available to them, the PlayStation 4. In the video you'll witness the carnage of what happens when you try to run Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on a launch PS4 512GB HDD - even the very low setting doesn't work and the game eventually crashes.

And even their try on the PS4 specced HDD isn't on a HW that is equivalent to PS4 nor is it done without direct storage and other techniques not available on PS4, both the extra spec of the HW (except HDD) plus these techniques allow the game to run although poorly which doesn't contradict Insomniac original claim as said by DF.

Got to play for a few hours yesterday and thankfully with my 5+ year old SSD, I didn't have any hiccups. If there were times of loading taking a little longer than usual during the opening section of jumping between portals, it was marginal and unnoticeable.

There were a few bugs I came across but just things that will for sure be fixed with patches down the road.

Whoever is playing this game on an HDD is just doing it for trolling and for the lawlz

Came across my first time where jumping between portals definitely took noticeably longer!

During the Bronze Battleplex challenge with the spittle bug race you had to jump through like 10 worlds, and after the 4th, it slowed down dramatically for about 5 seconds then it continued like normal. Definitely wasn’t seamless.

These companies release games like I wrote my term papers, fixing everything the night before.

Actually they go even further, they correct the paper after the teacher graded it and pointed the issues, and sometimes they will take few years before finishing it =p
