PlayStation State of Play - April 2021 - Among Us coming to PS4/PS5



PlayStation has scheduled a new State of Play broadcast, dedicated to the upcoming game Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. We'll be seeing 15 minutes of all-new footage in the live stream, along with a glance at two indie games as well. Catch it live right now, or check back to see our live coverage as it airs.

We begin with the indie games. Subnautica: Below Zero is headed to next-gen. The DualSense has a lot of situational feedback depending on what's happening. 4K and 60fps options. If you own the first game on PS4 you can get it for free on PS5. May 14th.

And Among Us will be coming to both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 later this year, with an exclusive Ratchet skin.

Here we get to see the start of the game, with Ratchet exploring the first area. He's in a new dimension different to his world. Clank gets taken as well. Some snippets of the story are being shown as well as the latest gameplay.

Mobility is a huge focus. You can chain your moves together to get through areas.

The adaptive triggers on the controller will let you feel each shot from your various weapons. Depending on how you pull the trigger changes your shot.

The PS5's SSD will make loading between dimensions possible, letting you switch seamlessly.

Rivet will be the second playable character. You play as her with Clank.

There's far more mechanics to unlock, Clank puzzles, challenges, arena, and aerial combat that you'll be able to experience, along with a photo mode.

Accessibility options will be available to make the game playable for as many people as possible.

Changing levels instantly yeah. You'd prefer 15-20 second load times after going through each rift?
Prey? (the original) Quake 4.
I mean, transporting a character to another part of the level is not rocket science. Quake used slipgates.
Using such a selling point kind of drives further that game development is stale.

I don't know... I'm having a hard time looking ahead to gaming as a source of originality.

Worthless broadcast. Not interested in either the cringe-filled Among Us (the "sus" and "amogus" memes aren't funny. I'm sick of them, and I can't wait for them to die off), or in this lobotimised "Ratchet" & Clank game - only the second, third and fourth games were any good, because those had fun gameplay and actual well-written and well-performed characters.
This comment is pretty sus ngl.

How do you know this new Ratchet & Clank game won't be any good? Is it because you get to play as a female alien character for part of it?

Because the last several games haven't been good; Insomniac has just lost all interest in this franchise. Tools of Destruction was quite buggy, and didn't have the same 'feel' as the PS2 titles in terms of controls and gameplay and writing. A Crack in Time wasn't as buggy, but it still felt like a R&C knock-off. The best of the PS3 games was Into the Nexus, but even then it's short and just unfulfilling.
Then there's the "reboot"...
Insomniac hasn't cared about Ratchet & Clank in over a decade and a half; I doubt they would suddenly return to form for this new game, that doesn't even star Ratchet as much as it should.

AMOGUS pretty sus ngl
Do people still even play among us?
The player count was still pretty healthy last time I checked. Like 30K I think through Steam alone. It's nowhere near as popular as it was last year, but it's certainly playable. It still has like 3x as many players as Town of Salem if not more even though that's a waaay better game.
