I watched this YouTuber. You have to understand Japanese a little bit for the live chat and commentary. But I can tell you that they get really emotionally invested by the third act, and a lot of people in the live chat was quite emotional by the end of the playthrough. It was great.


Thanks bro! I'm actually checking some of this out via youtube's horrible but better than nothing auto-translate function. Fascinating!

That is so awesome. I kind of wonder if sony reached out first behind the scenes but that's just the cynic in me. Just so happy for SP for this game.

Does Youtube have auto translate for the Live Chat? Cus I think at some points the live chat was more fun to watch than the player haha. But either way it's pretty good to watch.

It does not, but what I do when I hit interesting parts is cut and paste the chat into google translate. It's amazing how much more civil Japanese chatters are compared to what you find stateside. Sure there is the occasional quip, but I see very little spammers and assholes.

That has to be a huge honor. I remember some people in here being upset at a western developer making a game set in historical Japan, but after finally playing it (and hearing the opinion of several japanese developers) it's absolutely clear that the amount of care and love put into it is astounding. Props to the whole studio, GoT is a magical experience.

I started playing it and I really love it. The only thing though is if you play with Japanese audio the mouth movements don't sync. I feel like that should have been standard.

What an honor! One of the most impressive ways to acknowledge and award video games (and those who make them) to date.

Ghost is one of the best games I've ever played.

The major seems pretty business savvy. Its nice to see developers getting appreciated for work well done.

Yeah, that was my biggest grip with it. I love, love the japanese cast, but had to play with english voices because of the lip sync. Hopefully stuff like the dynamic lip sync in Yakuza 7 becomes standard in the industry and is implemented by the time Ghost of Tsushima 2 though!

Wow, that's awesome and well deserved. They did a fantastic job of honoring their culture for a studio on the other side of the world. Such a great game.

I am playing it on the ps5 right now and it's pretty damn magical. Such a beautiful and emotional game. Seems to me like it's well deserved.

Very cool - I am considering stopping by Tsushima when I plan out my next vacation in Japan.

Tsushima was such a great and beautiful game. I was shocked tbh that a western dev made something that tasteful about that subject matter. The care showed.
