While the game itself has unfortunately been delayed past its initially revealed release date, this does mean that the developers are more focused on dropping a quality game a little late, rather than a broken game on time. It’s been mentioned before, but considering the alternative of getting an underwhelming release, delays can be the better option someti
Sony has received endless praise this console generation for the number of stellar first-party titles that it has released, and rightly so. Games like God of War , Horizon Zero Dawn , and Marvel’s Spider-Man stand as some of the most well-received from both critics and fans alike over the past few years. But for all of Sony’s success in the PS4 era, I think what I’ve personally loved the most from the PlayStation brand is its willingness to publish new
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
All in all, we have seen very little about Ghost of Tsushima , which is why I think I have such a close eye on it this year. Compared to other major releases that are coming up in 2020 ( Cyberpunk 2077 , Final Fantasy VII Remake , DOOM Eternal ) I feel like there are many relatively unknown factors with Ghost of Tsushima . Heck, news on the game went so quiet in 2019 that many started questioning whether or not it would end up just altogether becoming a PS5 game . That obviously won’t be the case, but it speaks to how silent Sony has been with this ti
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
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 special editions come with a director’s commentary that compares it to real life with the help of a Japanese histor
Continuing the long running series’ incredible story, Yakuza 7 will make its mark on the franchise with its unique combat system . Instead of leaning into the stylized action of previous entries, Yakuza 7 will play with turn based combat that turns the flashy combat into something more akin to Final Fanta
Following the news that The Last of Us Part 2 has been delayed indefinitely , all eyes turned to June when Sony’s next big exclusive title would be launching. For now, Suck Punch remains adamant that Ghost of Tsushima remains on track for launch, though with the ever evolving global pandemic, things could suddenly change on a d
In terms of Ghost of Tsushima , Khotun Khan is a cunning and ruthless general of the Mongol Empire. He leads and commands a massive fleet of ships and soldiers in the first invasion of Japan’s Tsushima Island. To achieve total victory, Khotun relies on his knowledge of the Samurai way to ultimately destroy them. The Great Khan is voiced by Patrick Gallag
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 side quests|https://tsushimagame.com/ 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
