Finished the first level, first impressions:
Guys, this is it. Nextgen has arrived.
I cannot believe what I’m seeing/playing. This lovely feeling when you play the first nextgen game. The same feeling I had with Infamous Second Son on PS4 or Oblivion on Xbox 360. Unbelievable. Playable Pixar movie indeed. I hope so much that this crossgen period ends sooner rather than later as if this is what a game can do designed around a nextgen console so early in the gen then we are in for a treat again and I cannot even imagine what insane experiences developers will provide after leaving lastgen behind.

This is THAT game where you actually do feel kind of bad that everyone can’t play due to scalpers and shortages. FUCK.

Because we have a hard time believing you.Another one demanding PSN tags
It's Riky
It happens, you know, especially when the only Riky that comes up shows no PS5 game (not even Astrobot) and definately no R&C Rift Apart, a game where you get 1 trofy just by playing the tutorial level.

This game is amazing on all levels.
The visuals are the best I've ever seen! It's one of those "graphics cannot look better" moments. The sound is top notch, the dualsense is used well, the gameplay is fantastic, a definite improvement over 2016. And the story is very interesting.
Pixar was NOT hyperbole. Look at how high quality every part of the game is. There is nothing lacking.
Insomniac has outdone themselves.

Just spent my first few hours with the game and I have to say it is absolutely staggering. Honestly, I’m in my 40’s and I have never experienced any game that plays so well, with such visual splendour. Walking straight into those other dimensions is pure magic. It’s difficult to take it all in at times. Seriously, Insomniac have raised the visual bar and I wish every other developer the best of luck beating this one.

Think I hit a bug that is stopping my progression. Not that far in and on Corson V, when I follow the phantom after the night club he just gets to the bolt i can't unscrew and sits there. If I run away and comeback he's gone. I'm stuck. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Edit:
Was able to manually load a save and the ham me keeps back up saves so I loaded one that was before the area and it worked, probably lost 15 minutes from where I was previously

Cool down, every one. He said his ID tag is "Riky", but he didn't link it, so I may have found the wrong profile.

I don't think the official PlayStation profiles page supports PS5 games yet. I usually use PSN Profiles for everything.Is this the right profile? I may be wrong, who knows...

Actually it may be an issue with the Playstation Profile. This is mine:
There are no mentions of PS5 games. I believe that an apology to
Riky
is due. He actually may very well have a PS5 and be playing R&C.

The game is graphically stunning. Performance RT is the way to play.

Fully agree. This morning I played some R&C (2016) before starting R&C: Rift Apart. The leap between the two games is amazing.
R&C: Rift Apart is a true next gen game on all levels:
1) Gameplay - Most of it is standard R&C fare, but the pocket zones and portals bring a new gameplay mechanic that can't be done on any last-gen platform. I love seeing gameplay innovation, even more than improved graphics/sound.
2) Graphics - 4K raytraced graphics (optional 60 fps 1440p raytraced) with a world density that is amazing. The high quality of the models, materials and textures shows in every nook and cranny. Play on the best 4K HDR display you can. Nothing else you have seen will compare.
3) Sound - Play the game with headphones and the 3D sound will blow you away.
4) Control - DualSense haptics are just fabulous and really adds to the immersion of every bit of gameplay activity.
My prediction: No game in 2021 will top R&C: Rift Apart in next-gen gameplay, graphics, sound and control. Not from Sony or any other publisher.
I even suspect that R&C: Rift Apart won't get topped till late 2022, give how many cross-gen games are still coming from Sony and other publishers. No cross-gen game is going to touch R&C:Rift Apart.

Tried reloading. Think I'll going to delete it and re-download it and hope that fixes it. So angry I'm a huge r&c so this is so frustrating

This looks like those nvidia rt demos.
The game is graphically stunning. Performance RT is the way to play.
I think the armors on Demon Souls would benefitted from some ray traced reflections. Thats why I was onboard with Alex's suggestion to go with full RT in Halo Infinite. Craig and other Elites wouldve looked much better with ray traced reflective armor.

Just played through the first few levels/areas and my god this game is gorgeous! It honestly feels like playing through a cartoon
And thats not even to mention the gameplay, which is always fun in R&C tbf, Rivet seems pretty cool as well and I've having a great time on hard, where it feels fair most of the time.

I fucking hate the patch\copy system in the ps5, 1 hour and it still find stuff to download or copy, i swear he downloaded like 3 patches and now is making the second or third copy...just fucking download and copy everything at the same time and one time only ffs, and the console wasn't even in rest mode, just let me fucking play
And this shit is what console only players call "plug and play", jesus fuck

I am on planet 6. From what I read there are 9 planets. I have around 3 hours total playtime. I can see this game lasting around 6ish hours to beat if it holds pace. All the reviews made it seem longer. I've read some other people saying it can be beat pretty quickly.
Gameplay wise it is just a pretty basic third person shooter. It hasn't changed much from the previous games. It's ok I guess, but never really all that thrilling.
There are a decent amount of cutscenes. The story is garbage (what I expected). They could have thrown some more decent humor into it to liven things up a bit. None of the dialogue is interesting or funny.
Graphics are probably the best I have seen. The art style and way the rifts work is really impressive.
Not sure I understand all the super high review scores. Take away the fancy tech and the game itself is incredibly average in every other way. It's the type of game you beat in a weekend and forget about completely by Monday.

I just finished the intro level.
The game is excellent as expected.
But the graphics are beyond anything I could have expected this early in the gen.
The scene where Nefarius sits on his chair with the golden statues on the sides is so stunning I couldn't believe it. It feels graphics cannot get better than this.

Would love to be playing right now, but Best Buy shipped what was supposed to be a release day delivery late.

few thoughts about my time with the game so far. Tried all 3 modes but fidelity mode looks the best (obviously). The soft image of the performance RT mode just didn’t sit well with me. I can easily tell it’s lower resolution, especially with detail in the distance.
Other thing is, some of the RT reflections have a really grainy look to them and they seem to lag behind the rest of the game by a few frames and has a bit of a motion blur to it. Probably due to their denoiser or something. It can be quite distracting at some points. Spider-Man didn’t do it this badly.

Just a heads up guys: if your TV does not have 120hz support (HDMI 2.1) and you plan on playing on Performance RT/Performance Modes make sure you set 120hz Output from Automatic to Disabled on the PS5 video settings otherwise the game will switch to 1080p signal when playing on these modes. Pretty weird.

How the heck are you on planet 6 after 3 hours? Are you literally speedrunning, skipping every cutscene, not collecting anything and playing on the easiest difficulty?

I have 5h and I'm still on Planet 2. You are probably not exploring at all.
Just playing it like any other game on the default difficulty.

Just spent 3 hours playing around the first areas. This game is stunning! My brain is still spinning from just how good it looks and plays.
Insomniac really outdid themselves in every respect. Like, holy shit guys.
This is a game that I will be enjoying for a while, and it makes me excited for what's to come.
Edit: I was trying to touch on the feeling I was getting while playing this game for the first time, and looking back, that was the same feeling of absolute awe I got when Mario 64 came out.

What's the best 4K gameplay video to watch out there? Any good videos of people playing a significant portion of the game?
