Over the past few days, I have been going in-depth in the history and setting behind Sucker Punch's upcoming open-world game Ghost of Tsushima . Part 1 of my analysis looked at the Mongol invasions of Japan that surround the events of the game, and Part 2 will take a look at the setting focused on the island of Tsushima itself. So you can consider this Part

The second time, it was during a festival commemorating the Mongol invasion, and that was an "amazing experience" according to Harper. They even visited a local high school to see historical Mongol artifa
For inFAMOUS: Second Son Sucker Punch aimed to create a city that felt like Seattle, without creating a 1:1 reproduction. This was done for simple practical reasons in terms of development time and resources, and also to keep gameplay focused. It was pretty much a city-shaped superhero playground, and scaling the city down considerably, alongside altering the geography made perfect se
I was sitting in the audience at Sony's pre-Paris Games Week press conference when the trailer of Ghost of Tsushima started rolling . I was even slightly distracted, focused on my laptop as I was taking care of my preparations to cover all the n

To give you a small glimpse of what I mean, below you can watch the first trailer of the game for the Japanese market, with the Japanese track. I don't know about you, but that's how I'd like to experience the g
But let me get straight to the point. Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan and Asia are most probably going to work on a Japanese voice track. That's standard procedure for games of this magnitude, and the release of the first trailer voiced in Japanese is a clear indicat
The map above below measures about 18 km by 25 km. According to Wikipedia , Seattle covers an area of 142.5 square miles (369.2 square kilometers). Yep. That's 100 times bigger than the map in the

PlayStation will spend on pushing its promotion. That being said, its Japanese flavor is far from being a handicap. It's probably the one element that can set it apart from today's overcrowded market, and make it s
Ghost of Tsushima doesn't yet have a release window, but it will come exclusively for PS4. If you want to learn more, you can enjoy some data recently provided by the developer s, the first trailer , and some lovely a
Sony Santa Monica’s latest exploration of ancient mythology through violence received a surprisingly vague release window of Early 2018 at E3, which was sustained through a succinct demo at Paris Games Week. It would be rather surprising for God of War to not garner a release date considering how impending "Early 2018" is, but we may see little else from the father-son adventure considering how tight-lipped the studio has been thus far.
Harper thought for a moment that he'd lose his job, and Fox describes it as the "freak-out moment" at Sucker Punch, but luckily no one else picked the news up. The much-feared leak mentioned yesterday by Shuhei Yoshida did not hap
