Preloaded and ready to go.
Unless the footage so far is a bait and switch this looks super polished and they have always been fun games so I’m expecting great things.

Good to hear, I'll wait for reviews then before I commit. I almost got caught out with Biomutant because I couldn't be patient.

Jeff Chubb is paid to write about video games. Shame, really.
"Just looking at Kratos’s nipples, you can sense the dozens of hours of labor that went into bringing them to life. The areola is marked with goosebumps, and you almost feel like you need to dodge out of the way of the inevitable jetstream of milk that will burst forth from the mammary ducts."
"This is another big win for Sony and PlayStation 4. Kratos’s nipple is too real and powerful for Mario. That doesn’t mean Nintendo didn’t bring the heat. It has some of the best nipples around, but Sony Santa Monica is just on another level. I will be sending Shawn Layden the trophy to add to the shelf in Sony Interactive Entertainment headquarters as soon as the restraining order expires."

He's a "journalist" who writes shitposts to console war.
He hates Sony and even thinks he's funny. He's a tool with a big ego.

Journalist. We didn't really talk about much in detail cus I only played the 2016 one. He indicated that it was better than that, obviously. In the past when he's gotten copies he's been pretty accurate in his "metacritic prediction" whenever I asked.

I hate that games like this hand you a platinum, but games like Doom 64 don’t even have one. WTF!?

To give you a counterpoint on this argument, this recent Ratchet seems like it's using the existing formula but improving it significantly with just more chaos on the screen at once and the addition of a dodge mechanic.
The enemies are all much better animated, the weapons look to be truly unique. The original formula was never flawed.
I am not concerned about this game's combat at all. What I really want to see are great side content like they've teased (Clank Puzzles, battle arenas, pocket dimensions, etc), unique use of the portals and SSD tech, more significant upgrades to weapons/armor, and a heart warming story.
Basically - I want "A Crack in Time" but better than ever. It looks like they may be delivering on that.

Nah. People can like what they like. When you KNOW you want to dislike a game and intend to give it a mediocre review for laughs, that’s dumb.
It’s also disingenuous and not fair to the people that spent years of their life crafting the product. Walking up and spending an hour bashing something that has many many man years put into it for platform warring purposes seems … insane.

Yes, patch with performance and performance RT modes.

Oh yeah i saw some improvements to the formula in the various trailers, i'm just not sure if they are gonna be enough to elevate the formula to the next level, but i always enjoyed the old one so...
Unfortunately i never played crank in time (i think, my memory with this saga is pretty blurred)

lol unlikely.
The fact that Insomniac did Spiderman cross platform and not Ratchet shows what ever they are doing with Ratchet, likely can't be done on PS4, or is too slow for the concept to be enjoyable on PS4 etc. Cause I'd argue, if Sony wanted to move units on the name alone of Spiderman, they'd make that the title that didn't come to PS4, not Ratchet.
The IP isn't even near as big as Spiderman is and is going to be in the future for it to even make that much sense, especially this close to release. So if they always had a plan to do cross plat shit, they would have just told Insomniac to do both Spiderman and Ratchet cross plat vs 1. Spiderman would have been the IP to really do that with tbh, not Ratchet.

Also the success of R&C will make Sony go PS5-only faster, although they're likely going PS5-only next anyway.

I'd predict 90+ MC easy for the game if not for the journalists like Jeff looking to bait click their way into infamy. Well actually we still don't know his exact intention with that tweet, it could be a cheeky dig at fanboys or he could really intends to preempt the negative review reactions from the beginning. Anyway, we'll see soon enough and if it is the second one, at least he wouldn't take spotlight away from the game itself on release cause he'll probably be blacklisted by many.

Jeff Grubb's historical GAMES OF THE YEAR! Let's see what HE LIKES
2019:
venturebeat.com
2020:
venturebeat.com
No mentions at all in any of his lists for the following games:
The Last of Us II, Ghost of Tsushima, Demon's Souls, Death Stranding, Dreams, Days Gone, Miles Morales....
So according to Jeff Grubb, over the past two years Microsoft had more exclusives on his top lists than Sony games. It will not be surprising when his Ratchet review is released.

He's tweet makes it sound like he wants to review bomb the game. We will see what happens but I won't be surprised if he does trash it.

I’m pretty sure it is, he gave Returnal the lowest score of all reviews that count towards the Metacritic score IIRC

Tools of Destruction got an 89 because GameSpot gave it a 7.5, which isn't bad, but one of the reasoning points behind that was "too much variety" rofl

whats very strange is how closely Microsoft is tied to some of these journalists
remember when MS directly invested in Polygon and they were basically the “let’s review Sony games badly” outlet for a very long time
just makes you wonder how many of these people are paid off shills

Going from playing a Pixar movie to soap opera feeling gamey looks. No thanks, 30fps quality mode ftw
You mean the same MS that paid twice what was paid to buy Lucas Arts in order to acquire a game publisher just a few months ago?
