There are a good number of PS4 exclusives coming in 2020, which is surprising considering the scheduled fall 2020 launch of the PS5. The PS4’s 3 big action exclusives - _ FF7 Remake, The Last of Us 2, _ and _ Ghost of Tsushima _ - are going to give the PS4 one great final y Details on the PS5’s launch are still a little scarce so the latter half of 2020 is more on the empty side for Sony as of now, but that could obviously all change with a PS5 reveal event . The first half of the year is going to be huge for the PS4 though, as it’s getting (and has gotten) a big exclusive title every month until June. In February, Sega’s _ Yakuza 5 _ and Sony’s own _ Dreams _ (by Media Molecule) launched on the PS4, but the games that most people have their eyes on start to come out in MaLast 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.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. The wait for Ghost of Tsushima has been a long one. Originally revealed at Paris Games Week 2017 , Ghost of Tsushima looked to be a dramatic, samurai epic with some sort of supernatural flair, as the trailer showed what appeared to be the game's protagonist seemingly disintegrating into smoke. The game wouldn't be shown off again until E3 2018, where an extended gameplay trailer gave a look at Ghost of Tsushima's impressive visuals and methodical combat. This trailer didn't show off any of the supernatural elements teased in the initial reveal, however, and Ghost Of Tsushima Armor Guide|Https://Tsushimagame.Com/ of Tsushima E3 details revealed the game would not contain any supernatural elements, after all. In fact, the gameplay leaned more toward hyper-realism - or at least the kind of stylized realism shown in classic samurai mov 2020 is bringing tons of new weapons to the world, and while not all of them are exclusive to any system, PS4 players will still be able to plug and play a number of the biggest titles of the year. Some of the non-exclusives include games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Dying Light 2 , bringing fantastic new titles to multiple syst Other games will also be rolling out updates throughout the year, such as the next rush of fighters coming to Mortal Kombat 11 and the next seasons of Fortnite and Apex Legends . With so much new content, 2020 is likely to be a year to remember for gamers all aro
