Ghost of Tsushima (PS4)
-
I'm more confused now
-
@iboshow Well, that makes two of us. I haven't understood what you've been trying to say for hours now! Lol
-
This looks really good. The environments and the graphics are really beautiful, and those kills. Those first five kills, and especially the first one. Yes! Just a move or a few. And the duel in the end, with all that red and orange from the leaves, sky and the fire. Wow.
-
I'm really glad its grounded.
-
I have massive hopes for Ghost of Tsushima. It's building up to be something epic, both in narrative and gameplay.
-
That boss battle, The Boss vibes.
-
Just some notes:
The actual first Mongol invasion in 1275 from landing on the beach at Tsushima, to them being defeated, took about 45 days. One can assume that's why it tells you "Day 9".
There was no such thing as a "ninja" in 1275. If you wanted to not be seen, you'd dress as a farmer or beggar. The swords might give him away though. That's not to say he won't have a black "stealth" suit of some kind, but it's not something you'd wear out during the day for any reason.
-
I also really enjoyed that during the trailer, the environmental clues really indicated to you the geography of the open world.
The red maple seen in the fight above is visible from a long distance away from high ground.. You also see villages and towns on fire in the distance, and five tiered pagoda in the distance.See that red tree? You can fight there!
-
This is also a side mission
-
The graphics shown are unbelievable. I mean this in a bad way. I'm going to need to see proof of this game running on a PS4 at that quality. The lighting/foliage shown is absolutely fucking ridiculous. Gives me some vibes of Watch Dogs E3 Downgrade, same with The Division E3 downgrade.
I would love to be wrong.
-
The option to play the whole game in Japanese has been confirmed.

I think this may be my game of the show. Sucker Punch are playing to the strengths of samurai & ninja stories and in particular Japanese cinema in their visual approach.
-
@sentinel-beach This is what I needed!
-
@sentinel-beach This game just keeps getting better.
-
I secretly hope there will be some sort of Wu-Tang reference in the game.
-
-
Fun fact: The old PS2/PS3 Genji games were set about 100 years before ghosts of Tsushima takes place. If you'll recall, it too was inspired by history and featured giant enemy crabs whose weakpoints could be struck for massive damage.
I low-key hope there's some kind of reference to enemy crabs in Ghosts
-
I'm just happy that this and Shadows Die Twice mark the return of the bad ass Samurai gaming genre. They both look AMAZING.
I lean more towards Shadows Die Twice cuz of my Miyazaki fanboism tho
-
@ochi By the time of Ghosts of Tsushima, all the giant enemy crabs had been conquered and eaten with yuzu soy butter.
-
@ochi Can't wait for the "Historical Battles That Actually Took Place" DLC that consists of nothing but giant crab battles. I wonder how they'll work the confirmed Kirby crossover into it all.
