The next shots show the ghost, Jin, approaching a camp full of Mongol soldiers with stealthy tactics. The game is going to allow the player to survey areas before striking enemies, as Jin is seen on top of structures. As was already shown off during the E3 2018 demo, Jin is capable of _ Assassin’s Creed _ -like assassinations, as he jumps off of rooftops and slams his sword into his oppone
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
The final cherry on top of my pre-release anticipation for Ghost of Tsushima has also just been due to how serious Sucker Punch is taking the source material here. Developers at the studio have talked openly about how much research has gone into this project which has included multiple trips to Japan and working with actual swordmasters . Not to mention, the full game is going to feature optional Japanese voice acting with English subtitles to really entrench yourself in the experience even further. Aspects like this won’t make or break Ghost of Tsushima , but it shows just that Sucker Punch is committed to making this not just an enjoyable game, but one that is highly-authentic as w
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 Secrets|Https://Tsushimagame.Com/ 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
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
Jin tries to walk over to pick up his sword but is then shot with an arrow once more by a sniper way out in the distance. The narrator states that “some say he died,” as the arrow strikes him down. The next shot contradicts this as he is seen riding a horse through a wide open field. This is where the gameplay is shown off in the trailer, as the first bit of playable action that is shown is the horse riding through the fi
Ghost of Tsushima is based on the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274. In the real invasion, the Mongols’ path took them first to Tsushima Island, located between Korea and the Japanese mainland. Under the command of Kublai Khan, Genghis Khan’s grandson, the Mongols fought against a small army of Japanese warriors on Tsushima , led by the Sō daimyo family. The local warriors – overwhelmed by the Mongols’ superior numbers and more advanced, gunpowder-fueled weaponry – were defeated, and the population was massacred. After leaving Tsushima, the Mongols continued their raids on Japan’s nearby islands, but the invaders were eventually repelled when a typhoon destroyed much of their fleet in Kyushu, Japan. This storm later became known as the kamikaze (“divine wind”) of 1274 (via Britannic
Is Ghost of Tsushima going to be the best game of 2020? I’m not a fortune teller, so I have no idea. But could it be my personal favorite game of 2020? Sure, why not. Sucker Punch, for my money, is one of the best developers in the video game industry and based on what we’ve seen so far, this could be shaping up to be the true swan song for the PS4 (sorry, The Last of Us Part I
That said, this seems to be Sony’s MO over the course of the PS4 generation when it comes to showing off new games. Despite revealing many of their projects years in advance this gen, Sony has also kept most of these games well under wraps, only releasing a new trailer or screenshots here and there before then showing quite a bit more gameplay very close to launch. Ghost of Tsushima has actually had a very similar pre-release timeline to God of War , at least when comparing the two so far. Speaking for myself, I think that this manner of being relatively silent about games that are in development for long stretches of time actually generates more excitement in the long
