The game revamps the combat of the original by having the player take a more active role in battles compared to the turn-based nature of the 1997 game. Whether this revamp puts people off or not, everyone can agree that Cloud and company look really cool on today’s machi
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
While many video game enthusiasts will likely have their hands full for the immediate future with titles like Resident Evil 3 , Doom Eternal , and Final Fantasy VII Remake , it’s easy to look at games on the horizon and wonder when they’ll see the light of day. There are even persistent rumors that next-gen consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X might not hit their 2020 launch windows, or that, if they do, they will be in exceedingly short sup
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 combat guide|https://tsushimagame.com/ 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
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
While the PS4 has seen its fair share of sequels or reboots of older properties from PlayStation’s past ( God of War , Infamous: Second Son, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End ), Sony has also brought about entirely new worlds and characters for us to fall in love with for the first time. In a time where many games that are released annually have started to feel a bit derivative and by-the-numbers, PS4 exclusives like Horizon Zero Dawn , Death Stranding , and Until Dawn have been some of the most captivating and enjoyable games for me on a personal level these past few years just because of how fresh they f
Many PlayStation fans are worried Ghost of Tsushima might be pushed out of its current release window after The Last of Us Part II was delayed indefinitely . This year is proving an uncertain one in terms of pop culture output. Movies and television shows have been pushed out of their Summer release windows, while in-development works have had their productions put on an indefinite hold. In addition to movies and television projects, video games are also being affected by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and its impact on productivity across various industr
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
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
A steady flow of information is building up the way towards the June release of Ghost of Tsushima . Just recently, the contents of the Collector’s Edition have been revealed, and it’s going to be juicy. There’s a replica of the face mask the main hero, Jin Sakai, wears in the game, a cloth map, and a war banner. Considering the global situation, physical editions might be delayed, but right now, there’s no evidence the game will be postponed to a later date. However, players have already expressed their fears about that potential outcome online, so it’s on their minds moving closer to rele
