I think a worthy goal for this game's successor (assuming Sucker Punch wants to make a sequel) would be figuring out how to do *zero* HUD elements and finding more diegetic ways of expressing needed information (sorta like Dead Space). The wind stuff and the way the world draws you toward objectives is smart, but I'd love a similar approach to *everything* in the UI, including/especially the health bar.

To those that have played this game, I have 2 questions:

1). Can you actually sit down at a restaurant in towns and villages and eat?

Things like Sushi, Ramen noodles or rice?

2). In all of the gameplay videos I've watched, I rarely see any dismemberment. There is lots of blood and that's realistic; but with the degree of sharpness and lethal precision of a Samurai sword; there should be dismemberments left and right. Is there more of that than we've seen?

1) nope

2) there is but it's very minimal. Usually it's losing an arm when Jin performs a special move and beheading which only happens for generals. It can result in a hilarious bug as some enemies when defeated will crawl around until you end their suffering but having a headless general still crawl around made me laugh more than once.

Would have been cool to see Jin go into a bar and drink some sake, then some guy tries to pick a fight with him.

No eating rice or Sushi? No indulging in Saké?!?

Say it ain't so!😧😢😥😔😭

Sucker Punch - these would be perfect features to add in a potential DLC🙇‍♂️

I think just once at one of their E3 events, someone slipped and mentioned the word "series". Let's hope, I already want a sequel.

Oh I agree 110%.

I think every Samurai film in history has a scene where a Samurai goes into a restaurant [or receives it from someone] and eats rice and drinks Saké - or at least drinks Saké somewhere at some point🤘🍶

I've seen screens of Jin drinking, relaxing and even sleeping next to his horse. lol I'm not sure if these are rest states or how you return to the game after logging off but they're in there.

The answers you've gotten to the first one are correct, but...

2) You'll get to dismember a loooooooooot more. Just wait for it;)

I don't believe ramen was invented yet anyways

I'm sad... my order is going to be available only on next Friday.

Thanks Amazon Brasil for that.... (third delay in a row. First Final Fantasy VII, they canceled my order. The Last of Us got here 5 days after its release, and now they just sent an email saying they won't ship in the release date).

Has anyone commented on base ps4 looks?

Can we assume this is also going to be "Smart delivery" or whatever on the ps5?

Now that sounds promising!

One other thing I just thought of is - can we slice down Bamboo trees? I know there's
a mini-game of sorts where you can slice Bamboo reeds on a pedestal with a series of button presses
But can we just walk into a Bamboo forest and cut them down? One of the devs a year ago said that we could - but I've got this sneaking suspicion that we can't😬

I think I remember a review stating that you can't slice them down.

Nope. Guessing that's because of performance and the focus on visuals (seeing those God rays come through the trees is astounding).

I can't wait to lose myself in the setting of this open world. I envision tomorrow night will be filled with a lot of horseback riding and venturing off to see the lay of the land. Just so damn excited to see what's out there to be discovered since the scenery just looks amazing.
