Dave Molloy, Cinematic Creative Director at Sucker Punch, is currently working on a Ghost of Tsushima game for PS5

if he's describing this as a project's cinematics director, this sounds much more like a whole new sequel, as opposed to redoing existing cinema scenes. look at his LinkedIn, and he's talking about cinematics, advertising campaigns, and so on.
Gameplay related things. Unless they're changing gameplay aspects then I don't see why he'd be involved instead of working on the sequel.
Not really necessarily true - creative directors are more de facto project heads than anything else. Even a project like a remaster would still have a creative director.
Only if the remaster calls for it which I highly doubt GoT would. It's a 2020 game.
Ghost of
There is a line running through the two because a katana cut through it. I'm so getting hired by Sony
They have been hiring combat designers and ask them to have played Ghost of Tsushima and know how the combat works.
It's pretty obvious they are working on another one.

lol, first I'd heard that title.
It's still a PS4 game playing via BC, rather than a PS5 game though.
Don't wait, get in on it now. The 60fps mode on PS5 is as good as any native PS5 would be IMHO. There is never a moment in Ghost of Tsushima where you'll be disappointed with the graphics.
Agreed. A new inFamous game that isn't rushed out the door like Second Son was would be much more preferred.
I hope they bring back Jin. I liked how contemplative he was, without feeling like a mopey anti-hero. He does heinous things, but never in service of himself which puts as a nice contrast to characters like Kratos and Nathan Drake.
Idk, a patch with support for unlocked framerate on PS5 isn't really the same thing as an actual PS5 version of the game. I imagine this is something more along the lines of No Man's Sky PS5 version.
I'm hoping for a sequel

I hope that whatever Sucker Punch does next with Ghost, that they make it more of an anthology series with different characters, settings and time periods, plus it would help keep it fresh. I want to see them go ambitious with the combat encounters and seeing what kind of stuff they come up with to mix things up.
Kudos, I feel the same.
I think Jin is a very interesting character, he knows that he must go against all tradition in order to save his country, and he is welling to be portrayed as a villain in doing so, as long as he saves his country and his people. It would be interesting to see how they take that going forward, he won't fight his countrymen even if the Shogunate sent armies after him.
The character IS the Ghost of Tsushima. It doesn't matter if he leaves the island and goes elsewhere, he's still known as that.
And as others have pointed out, there was a second invasion.
Been wondering for a while why are these professionals doing these amateur leaks on LinkedIn every other week, surely they should know everything about NDAs and not revealing unannounced games working in the game industry? I think updating your LinkedIn page can wait until the project is officially announced, no? Or is this some kind of new guerilla marketing method used by the companies?
I was kinda thinking this. I would be very unsurprised if we saw smaller, standalone expansion style releases for Tsushima and TLOU2 soon to fill the gap before proper sequels. They definitely work well and Sony clearly like them if you look at things like Lost Legacy, Miles Morales, First Light and Left Behind. They do well.
Seeing how he'd handle The "Ghost Army" attacking their own country/Samurai would be really interesting I think, the Shogun hunting Jin and "The Ghost" being a monster he created is a lot more interesting than Mongolian Invasion 2.
Another game where every person on the island yells about Mongols would just be comically bad. You have a rich political history of an entire nation, a ton of eras and the only things you use out of all of that are a dude from a small island that isn't relevant beyond fighting The Bad Invader Men? Bleh. Jin's barely even a character. No one on the mainland at that time would even care about who he was.
And now people want to turn Jin into Batman lmao
Whatever.
Well precedent and concept is important. There has to be some sort of continuation of the narrative.
Isn't that his name, though? He is the Ghost of Tsushima, regardless of where he travels. He can still be the Ghost of Tsushima and battle against his enemies in Kyoto, for example.
I'd be curious if they added in more non lethal options so you could fight your countrymen without killing them, or even tie it to a karma system like Infamous where your choice affects the story.
I agree with some of what you've said here but lemme say this right now
Nobody is trying to turn Jin into Batman. Jin is already Batman. Jin is Batman as fucc. I can't think of even a single original AAA protag - not even one, across the whole of gaming - who could claim more parallels with Batman to their name.
Jin is the typhoon in the same way that Batman is the night. If the second Mongol invasion is depected in a sequel, it'll be a small part of the overarching story. It'll happen and be resolved in a matter of in game hours, and it will be capped off by Jin showing up and wrecking shop himself, cuz he's the typhoon, you know? Should that be a whole game in and of itself... fuck no. Would it make for a dope character intro for Jin, in a sequel where he's not a playable character, but a main story NPC instead? I think so

Answer below.
Not exactly. Both the Game Director and Art Director usually answer to the Creative Director. The CD's job is to ensure cohesiveness between the gameplay and the art surrounding the game (environments, characters, animations, story). They (CD) are in charge of the overall experience. While the GD takes care of pacing, puzzles, battle encounters, mechanics, etc with the AD taking care of all art that is seen. However, I am not sure what a Cinematic Creative Director does, that sounds fairly limited. 🤔
This. ^^^

As much as I liked Tsushima I hoped they would move on to create a new IP. Can't say I'm that attached to the story or characters and not really sure where they go from here but I can understand why they'd wanna do a sequel as the first sold reeeaaally well.
Jins Story is done, there is nothing left to explore. The Franchises Name is clearly set up for the use of different regions/Cities/Eras. And then you even throw around the word Trilogy lol. The Series leads itself so easily to be made into an Anthology. Most i could see is a Lost Legacy Style Stand alone Game, that takes on the second Invasion and kills off Jin.
They can always do that pirate game once they do a game or two in this series.
I would say it is the opposite. The end of the game hints about it even.
