The programmer goes on to claim that “the way the Rift gameplay was represented before launch was pretty misleading”, and that what was shown as “amazing sequences of Ratchet zipping between many other worlds all chained together into awesome action sequences” ended up being “mostly just cutscenes or very short sections of very limited gameplay”.
I guess plenty of metacritic certified reviewers must also be working at Traveller's Trales.

Spoiler: show

One thing that surprised me, a little, was the warping between worlds, which is a bit different to what you might've seen in trailers. The big, between-multiple-dimensions moments, where the hero's falling through the sky and the environment rapidly flicks from one to the next, only come in cutscenes.

Those moments you saw in the trailers, where Ratchet flew through rift after rift after rift into different worlds—they’re just for the cutscenes. In the end, you’re just planet hopping like last time, only in a different dimension.

I mean, if you're going to completely ignore the point, then I suppose all QTE events during cut scenes in games are all gameplay too then. The player agency is poor, thats the essence of calling those sequences a cut scene. When you actually get a chance to play, its PS2 gameplay all over again 🤷‍♂️ :ROFLMAO:

This might be by a long shot so please take it with a grain of salt.

A recent Nixxes job offer for a UI / UX engineer states "Experience in using Coherent middleware".

Source: https://www.nixxes.com/job/ux-ui-engineer/

The mentioned middleware is a game UI made by Coherent Labs, one of their featured (PS exclusive) games using it is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Source: https://coherent-labs.com/powered-by-coherent-labs/

It's made by Insomniac Games and Nixxes already ported their Spider Man games, so I thought it might be logical.

Sorry for formatting, have a nice day.
Job description:

We’re looking for a highly collaborative, passionate, and skilled UX/UI Engineer to help implement and improve the UI experience for upcoming AAA PC titles.
Nixxes now being a Sony first party studio, but actively recruiting for PC development experience? 🤷‍♂️

Would be hilarious, as after Returnal, Rift Apart was one of the games CerebralTiger bought a PS5 for :ROFLMAO:

How will the portal transitions run on Necrokiller's PC? We'll find out soon enough I guess 🤷‍♂️ :LOL:

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
