Side by Side Comparison Technical Notes
The similar notes on resolution might seem odd, but it is a game targeting dynamic resolutions in every category. It of course doesn’t perfectly hit near those in most situations, but the idea is that it keeps the performance threshold it targets quite well in each scenario.

To start, performance aims to provide a higher resolution option while also hitting a smoother frame rate. I enjoyed this mode in general, finding it to be very clear visually and fluid which was awesome. Then there’s the default mode that you would have to change from which is straight up fidelity, this is a lower frame rate that didn’t feel great to play but looked really beautiful and hits very much that 4k resolution target. It includes ray tracing effects alongside some better textures and effects.

Then there’s finally performance RT which stands for ray tracing. You get the best of both worlds at lower visuals but alas this one really is a great balance between both features and it’s fantastic that Insomniac was able to deliver that in this game, similar to what they did for Spider-Man: Miles Morales.


Description/Synopsis
The latest adventure for the now retired heroes Ratchet and Clank, have them going across dimensions to some degree as the fabric of reality starts to wear down. You have Clank ending up with a special new character named Rivet while Ratchet attempts to find them within this new area while also dealing with other problems.

It features multiple worlds, dynamic situations and of course the classic duo in some fresh combinations that should pinpoint a fresh start for the series to some degree while including a number of familiar faces to those that know the franchise along the way within this one.

Hopefully the comparison was helpful in understanding the changes that are being presented between these options. It can help greatly to have a quick visual presentation that’s lined up for a faster viewing.
