That's a brutal drop for the lombax.

When 4.5 year old Nintendo games are going to return to the top 5, tab...

Didn't seem to affect BLMorales, Minecraft or a dudebro shooter from 2019

 

[CerebralTiger]

Affect tou hui hain, since all three of these games are below that 2017 Mario Kart game

Does Necrokiller work for Traveller's Tales?

The programmer goes on to claim that “the way the Rift gameplay was represented before launch was pretty misleading”, and that what was shown as “amazing sequences of Ratchet zipping between many other worlds all chained together into awesome action sequences” ended up being “mostly just cutscenes or very short sections of very limited gameplay”.

I guess plenty of metacritic certified reviewers must also be working at Traveller's Trales.

Spoiler: show

One thing that surprised me, a little, was the warping between worlds, which is a bit different to what you might've seen in trailers. The big, between-multiple-dimensions moments, where the hero's falling through the sky and the environment rapidly flicks from one to the next, only come in cutscenes.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart review - cracking, unserious action

That Insomniac lot are a bit good at this, aren't they? This is a studio that has a thing, and is very good at it. That…

Those moments you saw in the trailers, where Ratchet flew through rift after rift after rift into different worlds—they’re just for the cutscenes. In the end, you’re just planet hopping like last time, only in a different dimension.

Insomniac Games' sixteenth entry in the Ratchet & Clank series is stunning, but a lot like its first

A grand total of 3 reviews? One of which makes a factually incorrect statement about the rift hopping being a cutscene?

 

[Necrokiller]

I mean, if you're going to completely ignore the point, then I suppose all QTE events during cut scenes in games are all gameplay too then. The player agency is poor, thats the essence of calling those sequences a cut scene. When you actually get a chance to play, its PS2 gameplay all over again

Is this true?? The dimension hopping thing was a cutscene???

This might be by a long shot so please take it with a grain of salt.

A recent Nixxes job offer for a UI / UX engineer states "Experience in using Coherent middleware".

Source: https://www.nixxes.com/job/ux-ui-engineer/

The mentioned middleware is a game UI made by Coherent Labs, one of their featured (PS exclusive) games using it is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

It's made by Insomniac Games and Nixxes already ported their Spider Man games, so I thought it might be logical.

Sorry for formatting, have a nice day.

Job description:

We’re looking for a highly collaborative, passionate, and skilled UX/UI Engineer to help implement and improve the UI experience for upcoming AAA PC titles.

Nixxes now being a Sony first party studio, but actively recruiting for PC development experience?

Would be hilarious, as after Returnal, Rift Apart was one of the games CerebralTiger bought a PS5 for

I kept my PS5 for the best versions of my favorite multiplatform games as well as stutter-free/cheater-free gaming
