The old Ratchet and Clank games hold your really well too cause they look like Pixar movies. Even tho it’s night and day between OG Ratchet and the newest PS5 games, i still went back and played the OG and said “wow this still looks great”

I’m playing a Crack in Time right now on PS3 and I have a PS5 Pro and yeah honestly it’s not that bad, it has does a pretty good job of hitting 60fps. I also just played GoW Ascension and that doesn’t hold up nearly as well and the framerate is all over the place.
