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
Players looking to get into the Persona franchise may want to hold out for the Royal release, although Persona 5 alone has been toted as a perfect starting point for first timers to jump into the series. However, not everything coming to PS4 in 2020 is a remake or re-release, and there is a ton of new content on its way
Fans of asymmetrical games like Evolve or Dead by Daylight will be happy to see a brand new title coming from the development studio that brought us Friday the 13th: The Game . IllFonic, the studio behind the game, is bringing another classic horror franchise to life, this time choosing Predator instead of Friday the 13th as the backdrop for the g
There is concern about the release dates of upcoming video games shifting to account for the coronavirus crisis, especially following the recent announcement of The Last of Us Part II and Iron Man VR getting delayed with no new release date forthcoming. It's likely publisher Sony doesn't want these games to release in an environment where players won't be able to go out to get physical copies of them. It's also possible they're concerned that Naughty Dog's game, with its bleak themes and post-apocalyptic setting, might not be the best fit for the current state of the wo
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
That said, this seems to be Sony's MO over the course of the PS4 generation when it comes to showing off new games. Despite revealing many of their projects years in advance this gen, Sony has also kept most of these games well under wraps, only releasing a new trailer or screenshots here and there before then showing quite a bit more gameplay very close to launch. Ghost of Tsushima has actually had a very similar pre-release timeline to God of War , at least when comparing the two so far. Speaking for myself, I think that this manner of being relatively silent about games that are in development for long stretches of time actually generates more excitement in the long
While the InFamous games gradually incorporated more stealth components as they progressed, their anthropomorphic PS2 adventures made silent avoidance a key mechanic of the experience, as the titular raccoon and his cohorts primarily relied upon thievery as their main career choices. As Sly Cooper 2 and 3 explored new ways to push the gameplay forward, players ultimately got the opportunity to not only control other characters outside of Sly, but utilize more gadgets to gain the upper hand on a given situation, including smoke bombs for quick escapes, paragliders for quiet traversal and disguises to blend in and fool the enemies. While the combat of Ghost of Tsushima looks to focus on efficiency and a touch for the dramatic, protagonist Jin Sakai will also have the opportunity to utilize stealth to reduce the amount of enemies in a given area, which is strengthened by his tools including a grappling hook and smoke bombs, among others. As Sucker Punch refined their stealth gameplay through three Sly Cooper games, one can hope that the same reliance on verticality and quick reflexes will provide the same sense of satisfaction that made the classic games stand the test of time.
There's also the fact that Ghost of Tsushima quite literally looks like it could be one of the prettiest games ever made. Speaking of that gameplay demo from 2018, I'm hard-pressed to actually believe that what we were shown was running on a PS4 Pro. Seriously, how is that even possible? The level of detail and the high-fidelity visuals that we were shown look like they should only be possible on a PC, or maybe an Xbox One X. If these kinds of graphics are possible on even the weakest "premium" platform around, then that's pretty incredible. Games like this are why I invested in a 4K TV and a PS4 Pro in the first place and I'm hoping ghost of tsushima combat guide|https://tsushimagame.com/ of Tsushima's finalized iteration will look just as stunning as what we've been shown thus
Naughty Dog closed out the PS3 generation with _ The Last of Us _ and is intending on doing the same with _ The Last of Us 2 _ on PS4, while Sucker Punch began the PS4 generation with _ Infamous Second Son. _ After helping launch the console, Sucker Punch is now helping send it off with the launch of _ Ghost of Tsushima _ at the end of June. The game takes place during the Mongol invasion of Japan during the 1270s and has the player take the role of Jin, a master samu
