Analysis: When will PS5 release?

Retail and development sources point to a mid-November launch for PlayStation, but Covid-19 could yet affect Sony's plans

The latest gameplay demo takes place early in the title, which sees antagonist Dr. Nefarious equipped with a device which can be used to open portals to other dimensions.

It showcased several new weapons including the Burst Pistol, Topiary Sprinkler, Shatterbomb, and the Enforcer.

“Thanks to the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on the DualSense wireless controller, we are able to make each weapon in Ratchet’s out-of-this-world arsenal feel unique and more powerful than ever,” Insomniac Games creative director Marcus Smith told the PlayStation Blog.

“Take the Enforcer for example. This double barrel shotgun has multiple fire modes. Pull the trigger halfway and it fires a single shot. Squeeze passed the first stage and you will unload a double barrel blast instead! And with the 3D audio, you will be fully immersed – hearing everything above, below and surrounding you.”
