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 storm could end up impacting the Mongols at some point in the game, too, Jin will at least help it out significantly, fighting off the invading soldiers himself. This will require players to adopt a "samurai commando" fighting style , using stealth tactics and the Mongols' bombs against them. Along with the historical changes, Sucker Punch noted at E3 2018 that the game's Tsushima Island itself is being reinterpreted to better suit a video game, with added locations to provide players more points of interest. Fans will be able to learn more about the game's historical roots after it's released, as several of the Ghost of Tsushima special editions come with a director's commentary that compares it to real life with the help of a Japanese histor
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' 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
With Sucker Punch’s silence on the game’s release date information, it started to become clear that _ Ghost of Tsushima _ was not as close to completion as was initially thought. Through 2019, the studio gave no updates on the title, waiting until December to finally show fans something new. Sony’s decision to skip E3 2019 gave Sucker Punch not only more time to develop the game (E3 trailers and demos take up precious studio resources), but also more time to build a trailer for December 2019’s State of Play and Game Awar
A new addition to the show is The Game Festival which allows gamers around the world to check out a selection of demos for the next 48 hours. You will be able to play games like Nightdive Studios' System Shock, Eastward, and SkateB
The important thing to note is that both _ God of War 2 _ and _ The Last of Us _ were subsequently remastered and released on the next iteration of platforms that they had skipped. Additionally, both remasters went on to become even more successful than their original versions. This could point to a potentially similar future for _ Ghost of Tsushima, _ as the title is more than likely going to release right before the
Sony’s first party studios are no strangers to releasing iterations of blockbuster franchises in the months leading up to a new PlaySation launch. In fact, Sony’s Santa Monica Studio released its hit title _ God of War 2 _ on PS2 in March 2007 just months after the PS3 launched in November 2006. Also, when the PS4 was set to launch in November 2013, Naughty Dog had just released _ The Last of Us _ in June of that same y
We here at DualShockers have been pondering what big surprises the show have in store, as well as who the big winner will be at this year's Game Awards. Here are five predictions we are pretty certain will happen during the show's durat
Longer development cycles are the reality of the modern gaming industry. Unless certain solutions can be implemented efficiently in the next generation of gaming hardware, like streaming and SSD storage (which the PS5 and next Xbox are in fact using), then higher capacity tech will only bring longer development cycles. This was the case with PS4 proje
During this week's State of Play , the people at PlayStation gave us a glimpse of Sucker Punch's upcoming game, Ghost Of Tsushima tips|Https://tsushimagame.com/ of Tsushima . It is already known that we will be seeing the full trailer, but I believe we'll get more than just that. I'm talking about a release d
The highly anticipated Ghost of Tsushima has just become a lot more appealing to old school gamers thanks to the way players will explore the world, as there won’t be any certain waypoints to rely on. This will bring the game closely in line with the exploration of iconic titles like The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind , which challenged its players in similar w
After the announcement that Naughty Dog would be delaying _ The Last of Us Part 2 , _ _ Ghost of Tsushima’s _ release date then came into question. With the way Sony releases its exclusives on PlayStation, Sucker Punch’s newest title is more than likely going to release months after Naughty Dog’s to prevent the titles from cannibalizing each other’s sales. Similarly to _ The Last of Us Part 2 _ and _ Death Stranding _ , Sony has also repeatedly confirmed that _ Ghost of Tsushima _ will indeed release on PS4 (though _ Death Stranding _ actually was released just last month, and with presumably a shorter development cyc
