Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the latest PlayStation game ported to PC. While it got attention thanks to the use of DirectStorage 1.2, its launch numbers are quite unimpressive compared to SIE’s other first-party titles on Steam.
Doesn't bother me much. I have plenty of other games to play and the best experience and performance comes long after release. I only get to play a game for the first time once, and I value that over following a hype cycle.
The game’s original hype stemmed from it being a technical showcase for the PS5. Not exactly a selling point for the already more-powerful PC world. They also didn’t bother porting the previous game to PC before porting the sequel.
It's the first game to actually use DirectStorage for something useful (that might be impossible without it), so I think it counts as a showcase on PC as well.
I think it's just a bad price. You can get it for $40 or so new for PS5, it was released 2 tests ago, and it's a short game (like 15 hours), yet they're charging $60 on PC. It should have launched at $40.
I already paid full price on PS5.. I got BG3 coming out soon. I can wait for this to go on a good sale before picking it up. But I will be picking it up.
I have had every playstation except for ps5 and I have never played a rachet and clank game. I don't intend to change that. The bits and pieces I've seen of the more recent stuff carries a bit too much of that deviantart furry aesthetic for me anyways. Timberborne is probably as furry as I'll ever be comfortable with.
