There is a team in Japan that helped a “huge deal” with the trailer and made sure that the representation was respectful of Japanese culture. Katami-san mentioned something that was removed but did not specify what it
I was sitting in the audience at Sony’s pre-Paris Games Week press conference when the trailer of Ghost of Tsushima started rolling . I was even slightly distracted, focused on my laptop as I was taking care of my preparations to cover all the n
For the trailer, Sucker Punch actually performed motion capture of live horses. Four horses were involved in the shoot, and there were three people following them around to pick up the mocap markers falling off their c
Throughout the year, gaming conventions offer a great opportunity for publishers to unveil and highlight their upcoming lineup for the months ahead. While these anticipated events are often few and far between, each one presents a unique opportunity to showcase the titles fan should keep an eye on, and choosing which games to focus on can often be an overwhelming task. Fans’ desires will rarely line up with the actual schedule for a game’s development and ultimate release, leading to lengthy periods of radio silence followed by a disproportionate amount of details to share that can coincide with equally intriguing releases at the same time. This balancing act is a constant struggle to maintain, particularly due to the unpredictable nature of game development, leading to the inevitable outcome that certain press conferences will prove to be less memorable than others due to the availability of news and announcements.
The newest job in sports right now is a video game coach. That’s right; being a coach to gamers is a real job now and the coach does everything a football or hockey coach would do from sitting down and studying past game footage to making sure all his players get along. A video game coach, or eSports coach as they’re being called, can make anywhere between $30,000 to $50,000 a year including a performance bonus and health insurance tacked on to it. eSports coaches are making about the same rate as a minor league baseball coach would make, but it would not be surprising if that was to be bumped up in the near future once the medium has taken off and grown even bigger than it already has.
That being said, Ghost of Tsushima is different. The game is set in Japan, and the inclusion of the Japanese voice track would mean going the extra mile to help immersion. Of course, this isn’t to say that the Japanese voice track is a better option than the English one. Normally Sony does a great job with English voice acting as well, but having the option to pick and choose between the two would be fantas
The future is transcending into something more digital. All around we can see its effects bleeding over into our sporting events, which will soon probably have their own major league followed by their own version of a “super bowl.” It wouldn’t be the least surprising at all if we were to see a college version of the sport to pop-up on the collegic side of the league in the near future. High schools may never see the sport enter into their halls and toss down banners over the gym walls as they hang proud next to other more traditional physical sports, but many colleges would want to invest and jump in on the quickly rising sport before they miss the lucrative money train.

In a standard professional match of League of Legends, two teams of five players face off against one another using numerous spells and weapons throughout a transcendent countryside. This is where the eSports coach comes in. He will lean over shoulders during practices and tell his players when to use trinkets or commanding them to hit the closest enemies so when its game time and they find themselves in front of millions of fans packed into a arena his team is ready. During practices, coaches typically do what any other normal coach for a sporting team would do to prepare his team; they advise their players to get a good nights rest, avoid eating unhealthy food to remain sharp with their reaction skills, meeting players privately to give feedback on performances and lending a listening ear when needed.
Interestingly, Nate Fox asked the audience at the end of the panel if they would be interested in playing the game with Japanese dialogue, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Fox followed up with “noted.” Looks like my wish might actually come tr
