There’s no doubt that Sucker Punch Productions is a talented developer having previously delivered two stellar franchises. To see them do something so different and pull it off as well as they have, however, is masterful. Beautiful and deadly, Ghost Of Tsushima trophies|https://tsushimalegend.com/ of Tsushima is shaping up to be a real showcase for the PS4 and the studio. We still have a ways off before the game finally launches, but we’re excited to see what else Ghost of Tsushima has in store for us.
After an extensive gameplay demo during last year’s Ubisoft E3 briefing, there was a sense of momentum building towards this year’s showing that the multiplayer piracy title would get plenty of new information and footage as it prepared for launch later this year. That was, until last month, when Skull and Bones received its second delay in as many years and the French publisher confirmed that they would not be bringing the title to E3 this year to allow the team to continue working hard on the project.
The private demo allowed Sucker Punch to highlight many of the little details that make the game feel real. Mud splashes about when stepped through, wheat parts as you race by and leaves move across the floor realistically as characters fight. It’s all an impressive sight.
Back in January, Nintendo shared an update on the return of the Metroid Prime franchise for the first time since its brief announcement at E3 2017, sharing that Bandai Namco would no longer be working on the fourth entry and that development of the latest entry would be fully restarted and instead handled by the series’ original owners, Retro Studios. Although Nintendo has not directly stated that Metroid Prime 4 will not show up at E3 this year, the publisher’s usual preference for focusing on titles releasing in the same year, alongside the development of the title having only truly started less than five months ago, seems to indicate that the chances of the sci-fi shooter appearing at this year’s E3 are slim to none.
It has to be clarified that this rumor originates from 4chan. While rumors sourced from 4chan tend to be very unreliable, some are interesting enough to acknowledge alongside a recommendation of heavy skepticism. This rumor is claimed to have come from an intra-department email at Sony regarding upcoming PlayStation marketing efforts and messaging. The veracity of the email has not been confirmed, but these types of emails aren't uncommon. But until Sony makes an official announcement, treat this information as unrelia
It's due to its now-delayed release window that Ghost of Tsushima will instead be instead focused on at the as-yet-unannounced PlayStation Meeting 2020. This kind of event could tentatively fall anywhere through 2020. 2016's PlayStation Meeting was in September and focused on the announcement and reveal of the PlayStation Pro console. A PlayStation Meeting 2020 could similarly focus on the PS5, showcasing Ghost of Tsushima as a launch title or as an example of the PS5's potent
However, with backward compatibility said to be a guarantee, this might not be the case. For all intents and purposes, Sony could offer a patch for any PS4 game that makes it utilize unique PS5 features. Since Ghost of Tsushima may be launching mere weeks before the PS5, maybe a PS5 disc will simply be the PS4 version with any relevant patches applied. It would certainly make for a good excuse to release a "Game of the Year" edition and label it a PS5 exclus
Just yesterday, Sony announced that it would be delaying the release of The Last of Us Part II to give developer NaughtyDog more time to polish it up. While still unconfirmed, a recent report by Kotaku's Jason Schreier has stated that Ghost of Tsushima has also suffered a delay because of Sony’s decision. With the PS5 seemingly coming out at the end of 2020, is there a chance that we could see Ghost of Tsushima land on Sony's next-generation hardw
Perhaps Sony wasn't thinking with its wallet in mind, but the release did set a precedent for the future. Games released towards the end of a console's lifecycle now had the potential to show up in enhanced form on that console's successor. Rockstar Games even seemed to take this lesson to heart by releasing Grand Theft Auto V roughly a year after its last-generation debut for both PS4 and Xbox
Ghost of Tsushima does share some DNA with Sly Cooper’s stealth sections. Jin can attack enemies outright or stalk them from the shadows and stealthily take them out. While this is out of character for a samurai, Sucker Punch did confirm that the narrative motivates the use of stealth. All of Jin’s samurai allies were killed fighting like samurai. To beat back the Mongols, Jin needs to vary up his tactics, even if it goes against everything he knows.
Sony's final State of Play for 2019 featured several new and interesting trailers, some of which are brand new announcements. The show took place quite early and went by quite fast, but we have rounded up the coolest announcements for you in case you missed
