“This is a game inspired by history; we are not recreating history stone by stone. This is an original work. We absolutely love feudal Japan; it’s a place that makes our imaginations go crazy. The idea of taking on a world of samurai, especially inside this dramatic situation with the Mongol invasion, is attractive. And we want to get the details right, to transport you back in time, but we don’t want to run fast and loose with [the] history that real people went through. That’s why the actual names of the samurai that were killed on the beach – we don’t use those because we want to be respectf
The second tease at the end of Bethesda’s E3 2018 appearance was for the sixth entry in the developer’s mega-popular fantasy franchise. Much like Starfield, nothing has been shown about Elder Scrolls VI since its reveal and Howard also stated during the aforementioned panel that it would not have a presence at E3 this year, since the title is likely due after the release of Starfield.
Ghost of Tsushima does share some DNA with Sly Cooper’s stealth sections. Jin can attack enemies outright or stalk them from the shadows and stealthily take them out. While this is out of character for a samurai, Sucker Punch did confirm that the narrative motivates the use of stealth. All of Jin’s samurai allies were killed fighting like samurai. To beat back the Mongols, Jin needs to vary up his tactics, even if it goes against everything he knows.
Speaking of Ubisoft, their long-awaited sci-fi sequel is also taking a break from the E3 stage, after returning from hibernation at E3 2017 and showing a second cinematic trailer the following year. Fans of the title, however, still have a glimpse of Beyond Good and Evil 2 to look forward to this month, as their fifth Space Monkey Report livestream takes place on June 5 at 9 AM PT, with the previous livestream featuring a lengthy pre-alpha demo.
Sucker Punch and Ghost of Tsushima creative director Nate Fox walked us (and a handful of other outlets) through the same mission shown during Sony’s press conference, but much more was revealed during the gameplay presentation, such as the fact that the mission shown was actually a side mission that isn’t part of the core story. Here’s everything we learned from the d
We got to sit down with Sucker Punch Productions to see Ghost of Tsushima up close. Though it was the same demo shown at the conference, we did learn important new details. The game takes place in 1274 during the Mongols’ invasions of the island of Tsushima. You play as Jin Sekai, the last living samurai on the island. Having lost everything to the Mongols, Jin now fights for the common people as he tries to stave off the invasion.
But that isn’t to say the Mongol’s will be the only ones you fight. In the game there will presumably be numerous companions who you can attempt to win over. If the gameplay trailer is anything to go by, you will sometimes need to fight them. There may also be other factions within Japan that you will encoun
Speaking of which, it’s pretty clear right from the time the first trailer was revealed just how important authenticity is to Ghost of Tsushima . It’s not just visit the next internet site visuals and audio, as striking as they are, but in the care that has been taken to get them right. All the plants, people and just general environmental things have been crafted to ensure they would be right at home in real life Japan. Some of the audio was apparently recorded right in Japan its
Very few racing games grab our attention like Forza Horizon 4 did. Whether you got a moment to test the game out on the show floor, or simply watched the E3 2018 announcement trailer, you won’t be able to separate yourself from the breathtaking visuals. Focusing on dynamic seasons and shared world experiences, Forza Horizon 4 is developer Playground Games’ best chance at outdoing their last visual masterpi
Fox also mentioned in a follow-up group Q&A that they have spent a lot of time attempting to find a way to do justice to the samurai and people who suffered during the real-life Mongol invasions of Japan in the late 13th century. However, Ghost of Tsushima , while based on a real invasion, is a fictionalized story – and the names of all the samurai in the game have had their names changed in order to honor those that died on the beaches during the Mongolian invas
Authenticity to the period and setting were one of Sucker Punch’s key objectives when building the game. The team traveled to Japan to study the environment and architecture of the time and took that knowledge to develop a stunning game. From the thick forests to the lush moss growing on rocks to the fields of wheat that blow in the wind, Ghost of Tsushima is a gorgeous game to behold. To add additional authenticity to the world, the demo was played with Japanese audio, an option that will be available players at launch.
Back in January, Nintendo shared an update on the return of the Metroid Prime franchise for the first time since its brief announcement at E3 2017, sharing that Bandai Namco would no longer be working on the fourth entry and that development of the latest entry would be fully restarted and instead handled by the series’ original owners, Retro Studios. Although Nintendo has not directly stated that Metroid Prime 4 will not show up at E3 this year, the publisher’s usual preference for focusing on titles releasing in the same year, alongside the development of the title having only truly started less than five months ago, seems to indicate that the chances of the sci-fi shooter appearing at this year’s E3 are slim to none.
