This week's new Cloud Monday video is part 2 of playing the PS3 version of Ratatouille on PS4, via the PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming Service to my Japanese launch model PlayStation 4.
Part 1 didn't go great, not because of the game being streamed from the Cloud but because it's just not that great. the platforming was testing my patience more than anything. We also learned that there were no manual save points in that part but i held out hope that once we got out of the tutorial area that maybe there would be save points added. so even tho i wasn't expecting the game play experience to improve, i was still hoping.
Unfortunately, we never found a way to manually save in this part. there was more progress made through the level, and when i was stuck i was able to use the in-game sniffing button to get help to show me where to go. but it wasn't always able to help out, for example in the kitchen, and it often felt like Ratatouille wanted to slow you down with all sorts of hindrances. before the speed test i did complete a challenge without encountering the squirrels, but the time it took to complete it felt like it's own hindrance.
Streaming Ratatouille from the Cloud is easier and maybe more convenient than finding an original disc copy of the game. But with no trophies, no manual saves, and a poor auto save, it's hard to say if there's much to gain from playing the game. You can do it, but i don't think the game is good enough for it to be worthwhile doing.
