Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart Is Only Coming To PS5, Insomniac Confirms

Although Sony previously suggested that all its next-generation titles would be exclusive to the upcoming PlayStation 5, the months since its initial reveal have been filled with announcements that many of them will be coming to PS4, too. That’s not the case, however, for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.

Responding to a question on Twitter, the official Insomniac Games answered unequivocally that their latest entry in the PlayStation franchise will only be coming to PS5. Considering all the dimension-hopping that the gameplay seems to feature, it makes sense that those mechanics might require the speed of the SSD that isn’t present in Sony’s older consoles.

It’s a question that needed answering though, especially given Sony’s decisions for many of its other first-party titles. Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Destruction All-Stars are all PS5 titles that initially seemed to be exclusive to the next-gen console but have since been revealed to be coming to PS4. Demon’s Souls, Bluepoint Games’ latest remake, is the only PS5 launch title alongside the preinstalled Astro’s Playroom that will be exclusive to the console.

Rambo Steelbook Collection Has A Weird Handwritten Note From Sylvester Stallone In It

When it comes to box sets, many home releases feature plenty of special features, revamped visuals and audio, or some really cool packaging. For Rambo: The Complete Steelbook Collection, this 4K UHD release comes with a copy of a handwritten note from Sylvester Stallone.

Currently available at Best Buy, the Rambo box set features all five movies in the franchise, including 2019’s Last Blood. Additionally, it comes with digital copies of all the movies, and then a bizarre note from Stallone himself, written in cursive, which you can check out below.

No Caption Provided

It’s truly a weird inclusion for this box set. “I’m the luckiest actor to have gotten to play and write for this most incredible character,” Stallone writes. “Please enjoy this extended cut as much as I did playing the part.”

All 6 Lord Of The Rings Universe Movies Are Now Streaming On HBO Max, Gandalf Actor Says “Hurrah!”

The November refresh for HBO Max is especially meaningful for fans of The Lord of the Rings and the wider Middle-earth universe.

The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies joined HBO Max’s streaming library at the start of November, and it adds to the previous two Hobbit movies, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. The three Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies are already on the service, so the complete theatrical Middle-earth series is now available to stream.

Additionally, the 1977 Rankin/Bass animated version of The Hobbit is available on HBO Max. However, it doesn’t appear that the Ralph Bakshi version of The Lord of the Rings is on HBO Max.

PS5 DualSense Controller Apparently Works With Nintendo Switch

PlayStation 5 releases in November, and with it, a host of accessories unique to the next-generation system. The DualSense controller is Sony’s first move away from the DualShock labeling, and includes new features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. One of the DualSense controller’s other qualities, however, is that it doesn’t work while hooked up to the PS4. Sony’s current-gen console registers the new controller, but you can’t use it to play any games.

It appears that the DualSense controller does work with the Nintendo Switch, however. Twitter user BrokenGamezHDR connected the DualSense controller to Nintendo’s hybrid console by using an adapter. Named the 8BitDo adapter, the third party software allows players to use their preferred handheld controller with the Nintendo Switch and not be limited to Switch’s Pro Controller.

In the video BrokenGamezHDR posted, he successfully uses the DualSense controller to navigate Switch’s menu and play a small portion of Mario Kart. So while players can’t use the DualSense controller with the PS4, they can certainly try mixing and matching with the Nintendo Switch system. How extra features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers would work in that scenario is still uncertain at this time.

Fortnitemares Challenges Ended Early Due To Bug

Fortnite‘s Halloween-themed Fortnitemares challenges have ended a little earlier than originally planned. The official Fortnite Status Twitter account announced that the special Halloween challenges had to be pulled a day early “due to an issue.”

Developer Epic didn’t share any further details on what the issue in question is, but it did note that it plans to compensate players for ending the challenges early. “We apologize for the inconvenience and are working on a make good plan for affected players,” the studio said via Twitter.

Although the Fortnitemares challenges are now over, there’s still a lot happening in the battle royale game this week. Epic is introducing Ghost Rider to Fortnite this Wednesday, November 4, as part of its latest Marvel Knockout Super Series tournament. Players who place high enough during the competition will unlock the character skin for free, while everyone else will be able to purchase it in the game’s item shop for $20 USD some time after the tournament.
