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

PlayStation's E3 2018 press conference, giving consumers their first look into a brand new open world game set in feudal Japan. Open world games have somewhat stagnated in recent years, but that's something that the developers behind beloved game franchises such as inFAMOUS and Sly Cooper are looking to change with their new title, which will eventually release exclusively on the

"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
Instead of having a traditional press conference this year, Sony decided to put the focus on four core titles that are coming to the PS4 in the near future. One of those titles was Ghost of Tsushima , which was unveiled with a brief gameplay demo that doesn't take place too far into the game's story. There's no doubt that Ghost of Tsushima's trailer impressed both conference attendees and those watching at home - and Screen Rant got to hear more about the game during the E3 Expo in Los Angeles this w
Overall, Ghost of Tsushima's gameplay was every bit as impressive in great detail as it was shown during Sony's press conference. One of the things highlighted during the hands-off gameplay presentation was the physics-based engine and the realistic blood patterns. For instance, players will be able to see the exact spot they hit an enemy with their katana. And every individual blood particle has been designed to splatter as realistically as possible. Hopefully, we get to see more of that as the game continues to be refined in developm
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
I'm also hoping Ghost of Tsushima will take full advantage of an "M" rating. There's something that's oddly satisfying about the arsenal of a samurai, and I'm hoping that Sucker Punch will give players lots of weaponry and tools that'll result in absolute carnage. After all, the katana is one of history's most beautiful weapons, so I hope to see it put to good use in Ghost of Tsush
That being said, there already those who are complaining about the addition of Japanese. Some say it will pull them out of the game by having to read subtitles in the middle of the ambitious sandbox. Either way, no one is forcing anyone to play Ghost of Tsushima in Japanese and it is a great variation to have. The logistical challenge of transcribing an entire game into Japanese is just another way of highlighting the lengths that Fox and his team have gone to in covering every little detail of Ghost of Tsushi
Making the violence more visceral isn't meant to be needless - the goal is to make you care about the violence and using a more realistic style so it has more gravity. The large world is such that anything you can see, you can go to - and it will be put into a smaller chunks to help it be less overwhelming. The prefecture structure allows each area to have a different tone and each area will have its own art and narrative themes throughout. The team started work on it after developing First Light and they had to learn new things like think about how the terrain would be used. The samurai theme has been used in gaming before - but hasn't been used in a AAA title. The Tenchu games would be the closest-equivalent in terms of scope, and those were fairly big releases at times but also tapered off towards the end of the series. Sucker Punch's pedigree in crafting high-level narratives and action-adventure gameplay means that players will be coming into the adventure with high expectations.
Jinsuki is a samurai who wants to become the Ghost of Tsushima, and in order to do that, he must be as unseen as possible. he can use a grappling hook to get the drop on enemies - adding a lot of speed to stealth, a genre that is normally thought of as being slow-paced. Beyond samurai films, games like the Legend of Zelda and Sucker Punch's own Infamous inspired what we're seeing now with Ghost of Tsushima. It's an ambitious game and they were deliberate in their desire to wait to show off until it was ready. Camera angles will be used in ways to make the stances seem more impactful. Nobu the horse was shown off a bit as well, and more will be revealed with him later. The team enjoyed going with a darker tone than what they're used to with the Infamous franchise, and making the scope larger required them to learn new skills - like motion capturing a horse!
