Here's everything we learned from the d What fans do know about Ghost of Tsushima is exciting, though. The gameplay that's been demonstrated looks compelling, a mixture between tense stealth and gorgeous combat, and it's made even more interesting by the fact that Sucker Punch is working with real samurai to help develop Ghost of Tsushima and make it as authentic as possible. According to Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida, Ghost of Tsushima's graphics are also so good that even he was impressed when he got to check out the game this summer - a comment that not only got consumers excited, [[https://tsushimalegend.com/|https://Tsushimalegend.com/]] but led to speculation that the game might actually release sometime in 2 In fact, Sony's complete lack of fear regarding game delays are probably why the company has a console with what many would agree is one of the strongest exclusive libraries in the history of consoles. While it's disappointing to find out consumers will need to wait longer for exciting games, it's better that than getting them half-finished - and in the case of Ghost of Tsushima , there wasn't even a release date announced, so it's not like a late 2020 release is a change in public pl According to new information, Sucker Punch Productions' Ghost of Tsushima could release as late as the second half of 2020, apparently in part due to the fact that The Last of Us 2 is getting delayed until spring of that year. Ghost of Tsushima is the one Sony PlayStation exclusive due out over the next year that fans don't know much about after much of the spotlight has been taken by The Last of Us 2 and Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 Rema Overall, Ghost of Tsushima's gameplay was every bit as impressive in great detail as it was shown during Sony's press conference. One of the things highlighted during the hands-off gameplay presentation was the physics-based engine and the realistic blood patterns. For instance, players will be able to see the exact spot they hit an enemy with their katana. And every individual blood particle has been designed to splatter as realistically as possible. Hopefully, we get to see more of that as the game continues to be refined in developm During a group interview at E3, Sucker Punch creative director Nate Fox talked in detail about the upcoming game and described its progression system. According to Fox, Jin develops numerous skills throughout his journey in Ghost of Tsushima which give him multiple options for solving problems. The trailer shows Jin using a grappling hook to reach the roof of a temple. His methods make it easier for him to get the drop on his enemies, but as Fox points out, Jin could easily have attacked the Mongols head on. All of Jin's skills combined make him a bit of a " samurai command Fox believes that a progression system is important for open world games. One of the things that makes open world adventure games like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , and Horizon: Zero Dawn so fun is their sense of freedom. What sets them and a few others apart from the rest of the genre is that their version of freedom isn't limited to exploration. How certain situations are handled is entirely up to the player. Conflicts don't have to be solved one single The team has yet to disappoint players yet, and the new theme seems to have given them new challenges and forced them to raise their game in several ways. Having a more immersive environment with things like mud slinging around should make the world feel more real - while the increased focus on the narrative should allow players to care about the characters more. It's clear that a lot of depth will be featured in the core combat, and things like duels show that off nicely. They also make the concept of boss battles seem both different and familiar, as the one-on-one structure adds a sense of importance to each one. While Ghost of Tsushima doesn't have a set release window yet, it does look like one of the finest showcases on the PlayStation 4 yet whenever it is released. Ever since the release of Batman: Arkham VR in 2016, there has been radio silence regarding the next title from the acclaimed British developer, which will be a step in a new direction away from the dark knight. Apparently, three years is not enough for us to get our first glimpse at their newest project, as Rocksteady Studios co-founder Sefton Hill took to Twitter the week before E3 to confirm that they will not be making their way to LA this year. "This is a game inspired by history; we are not recreating history stone by stone. This is an original work. We absolutely love feudal Japan; it's a place that makes our imaginations go crazy. The idea of taking on a world of samurai, especially inside this dramatic situation with the Mongol invasion, is attractive. And we want to get the details right, to transport you back in time, but we don't want to run fast and loose with [the] history that real people went through. That's why the actual names of the samurai that were killed on the beach - we don't use those because we want to be respectf
