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
Last year, Seattle-based developer Sucker Punch Productions celebrated the 20th anniversary of their first game release, Rocket: Robot on Wheels for the Nintendo 64, which has likely become the developer’s only title to release on a non-Sony platform. After signing a deal with Sony in 2000, Sucker Punch went on to produce two prominent PlayStation-exclusive trilogies, starting with the stealth platformers of Sly Cooper on PS2, and followed by the open world super-powered adventures of InFamous that spanned across PS3 and PS4. The largely-positive receptions of the six games has led Sucker Punch to become one of Sony’s predominant first party developers alongside Naughty Dog and Insomniac, but since releasing Infamous: Second Son (and its spinoff First Light ) in 2014, the team has slowed down their release schedule as they work on their most ambitious game to date, Ghost of Tsushima. Originally revealed near the end of 2017, Sucker Punch has returned to the realm of open world journeys but turned the clock back to the 13th century, as one of the last samurai of ancient Japan looks to defend his people against the invading Mongols. With Sony yet to provide any hands-on opportunities with the title despite it being less than three months until release, one would be better suited to look back at Sucker Punch’s history and the strongest elements of their games to potentially determine the key lessons that went into developing Ghost of Tsushima.
Sucker Punch has mentioned on several occasions traveling to Japan – and to the Tsushima Island, specifically – in an effort to make sure its depiction of the country is accurate. Research was conducted with the help of Sony’s Japan Studio, as well, helping to ensure greater authenticity. Sucker Punch has even consulted real-life samurai during Ghost Of Tsushima Multiplayer|Https://Tsushimagame.Com/ of Tsushima’ s development, presumably to learn more about how the Japanese warriors would have fought in the 13th Century, when the game’s story takes pl
Although not as big as _ The Last of Us 2, _ _ Iron Man VR _ also comes out in May after it was delayed earlier this year. The game has the player flying around as Iron Man in first-person camera and is likely to be a memorable PSVR ti
There are a lot of big March 2020 games coming out for PS4 (and other platforms in general too), and with that many games, there really is something for everybody. The biggest PS4 exclusive of the month is _ Persona 5 Royal, _ a definitive edition of the original 2016 _ Persona 5 _ with extra story content that comes out at the end of the month. Sony is also putting out _ MLB The Show 20, _ an annual series that consistently ranks as having one of the best sports games every y
The PS5 will be launching with competition, although the data might suggest that Sony’s newest system could beat the new Xbox when both release at the end of this year. Both systems boast an end to loading screens, and their specs are close enough to seem negligible to casual players. So, it really comes down to which company has more good faith, and exclusive releases on launch that will decide which game wins the latest console
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.
