Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart - Official Gameplay Demo | State of Play

Join Marcus Smith, Creative Director at Insomniac Games, for an in-depth look at 15 minutes of gameplay from the upcoming PlayStation 5 game, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Revealed during April 2021's PlayStation State of Play presentation, the video gives another look at the recently revealed Lombax protagonist, Rivet, as well as weapons and how they utilize the PlayStation 5's capabilities such as haptic feedback, vehicles, enemies, photo mode, and peeks at the worlds you'll explore in Ratchet and Clank's latest adventure.

@Hwkakak Klakibsxx With video game graphics like this these days, they do reach the level of Pixar movie visuals, but you can still see some basic and minor flaws with the graphics that still remind you that it’s a video game. Something that Pixar movies don’t necessarily have to worry about since in video game terms, they’re entirely composed of high quality FMVs and don’t have "in game" sections since it’s a movie, not a video game. None of this is bad by the way. It’s just how it is.

Now for a question - if you cross the rift into another game world, can you play through that game world and then return to the previous level/world when you like?

[@franzkuntschnig1320]

No. Most likely not. It’s a linear game. Maybe some little sidequest butmost likely no open world. In earlier games you could choose between 1-2 missions on different planets, maybe something similar will happen at some point but not more. And open world wouldn’t make sense if you chase someone through different dimensions. A linear progress fits far better imho.
