This week's new Cloud Monday video is part 1 of playing the PS3 version of Ratatouille on PS4, via the PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming Service to my Japanese launch model PlayStation 4.
I'll admit that i'm not a fan of the movie Ratatouille. As for the game, it's not something i've ever looked into on any platform so i didn't know what i was going to be playing here.
As ever we're looking at the save situation and unfortunately there appear to be no manual saves in Ratatouille. the Auto Saves seem to be when ever a quest is finished. there are collectables, but picking them up doesn't trigger the auto save. at the end of this part, before the PS4 internet speed test, i did check to see if the game's checkpoints were working as save points but they weren't. so if you pick up collectables, you have to finish the quest you're on to trigger the Auto Save to get them saved.
This part focused mostly on the tutorial, but that's mostly because of how poorly implemented the controls were. because of my previous experience with cloud based gaming, i do not believe that the poor controls are a result of the game being streamed, rather it's an inherent issue with Ratatouille. thankfully, there will be a Part 2 so we can have another look at the controls, but ultimately i get the impression they're a little broken or at the very least not as accurate as they need to be.
