Although it’s not an exclusive game, people are hyped for Doom Eternal which launches on March 20. Actually, there are a few major multi-platform games coming to the PS4 in 2020 , such as Doom Eternal, Resident Evil 3, Marvel’s Avengers, etc., but the fact that there are a bunch of big exclusives coming out alongside these multi-platform games in the PS4’s final year is just stagger
Although Sly Cooper 2 and 3 explored less linear sections and had a greater sense of freedom in their level design, Sucker Punch’s first true open world title was 2009’s InFamous, which featured a fully-realized metropolitan area known as Empire City. The sizable environment featured plenty of optional encounters, side missions and collectibles to entertain the player outside of campaign missions, all of which helped boost Cole MacGrath’s super-powered abilities and sense of morality. Sucker Punch continued to explore large cities in the form of New Marais and Seattle in InFamous 2 and Second Son respectively, all the while expanding the ways players could traverse the city in quick manners, such as grinding on electric wires or levitation. While Jin’s ability to traverse via horse is significantly less outlandish, the sparse environments that have been shown off so far drastically contrast the hustle and bustle of the cities of InFamous, but still retain that same attention to detail and natural reactions that result from the player’s actions, from the blowing leaves in the wind to the mud and blood flying through the air during a combat encounter. Through a focus on transportation and immersive details, Sucker Punch is utilizing the smaller elements that bolstered InFamous’ reputation to enhance Ghost of Tsushima’s take on a completely different type of civilization.
There’s also the fact that Ghost of Tsushima quite literally looks like it could be one of the prettiest games ever made. Speaking of that gameplay demo from 2018, I’m hard-pressed to actually believe that what we were shown was running on a PS4 Pro. Seriously, how is that even possible? The level of detail and the high-fidelity visuals that we were shown look like they should only be possible on a PC, or maybe an Xbox One X. If these kinds of graphics are possible on even the weakest “premium” platform around, then that’s pretty incredible. Games like this are why I invested in a 4K TV and a PS4 Pro in the first place and I’m hoping Ghost of Tsushima’s finalized iteration will look just as stunning as what we’ve been shown thus
Ghost of Tsushima fictionalizes several elements of this history. For starters, Sucker Punch’s Mongol army is led by the fictional Khotun Khan, and Tsushima’s ruler is fictional, too – a man named Shimura. Events seen in Ghost of Tsushima’s trailers indicate Shimura’s battle with the Mongols goes just about as well as it did in real life, but it appears Shimura survives, and so does his nephew, protagonist Jin Sakai. Given he’s the playable character, it’s no surprise Jin forms the basis of Ghost of Tsushima’ s largest departure from history. Rather than being a stand-in for an actual person like Kublai Khan, Jin is essentially a stand-in for 1274’s kamikaze . As Sucker Punch Game Director Nate Fox told Variety , “Our hero isn’t a hurricane, he’s a man, and we actually acknowledge that change with his sword that’s engraved with storm wind desig
While the storm could end up impacting the Mongols at some point in the game, too, Jin will at least help it out significantly, fighting off the invading soldiers himself. This will require players to adopt a “samurai commando” fighting style , using stealth tactics and the Mongols’ bombs against them. Along with the historical changes, Sucker Punch noted at E3 2018 that the game’s Tsushima Island itself is being reinterpreted to better suit a video game, with added locations to provide players more points of interest. Fans will be able to learn more about the game’s historical roots after it’s released, as several of the Ghost of Tsushima DLC|https://tsushimagame.com/ of Tsushima special editions come with a director’s commentary that compares it to real life with the help of a Japanese histor
There is concern about the release dates of upcoming video games shifting to account for the coronavirus crisis, especially following the recent announcement of The Last of Us Part II and Iron Man VR getting delayed with no new release date forthcoming. It’s likely publisher Sony doesn’t want these games to release in an environment where players won’t be able to go out to get physical copies of them. It’s also possible they’re concerned that Naughty Dog’s game, with its bleak themes and post-apocalyptic setting, might not be the best fit for the current state of the wo
Sony’s upcoming Sucker Punch-developed samurai story, likely one of the PlayStation 4’s swan songs, is inspired by real events, but Ghost of Tsushima strays from history in a number of ways. Although Sucker Punch appears to have taken great care in nailing the game world’s authenticity to real-life Japan, Ghost of Tsushima’ s plot is, at least partially, purposely unfaith
