What are your expectations for Ghost Of Tsushima?

[MillionIII]

So now that Sekiro: shadows die twice is out and there is a resurgence of japanese themed games I went back and looked at the e3 demo of Ghost, it is noticeable that the combat is slower than nioh or sekiro but it also looks less complicated to play, which will bring in the crowd of people who had trouble with the latter.
And I guess my question is; will ghost of tsushima just be the easy mode nioh and sekiro that people have been asking for? or can it stand by its own merits and deliver something that we haven't already seen and played?

Yeah this

If you're expecting anything in the challenge realm of Sekiro or Nioh you're going to be sadly disappointed

 

[Acquiescence]

Sucker Punch's best game since Sly 2, book it.

Also, it's a cross-gen, PS5 launch title.

 

[Inkvoterad]

A bit too shallow gameplay combined with fantastic presentation, so it kinda evens out. I still like the old combat in AC games despite their simplicity.

 

[Edgar]

I expect a narrative driven cinematic open world with combat similar to AC/W3/batman. I also expect high production values , pretty visuals and maybe competent writing.

 

[Haze]

Horizon but with samurais

A #Cinematic open world game

 

[SpokkX]

A casual open world title in japanese setting

Frankly, with the studio record, i dont expect something "amazing"

 

[Kaivan]

Ubisoft-esque open world fanfare in Japanese setting and samurai combat.

 

[Astandahl]

A terrible game like TLOU or GOW because is not made by from software or a random jap developer. I will see the story on youtube and i will complain about it on this forum.

And i can say all that even if we know almost nothing about the game.

• Evolved combat mechanics for their best melee system to date.
• Better story than Second Son. Perhaps something more intimate akin to First Light.
• Memorable Samurai and Ninja bosses.
• No banal black and white dual morality choices.
• Certain degree of character customization.
• Certain freedom to role play (or more specifically be role flexible) akin to Horizon Zero Dawn.
• Fewer cookie-cutter side quests than typical open world games.

 

[Strike]

Big budget cinematic action-adventure. Their most polished title to date.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

The big deal with Ghost of Tsushima compared to games likes Sekiro, Nioh or even The Witcher 3 in a similar open world RPG genre is the fact it is, unless proved to the contrary, 100% grounded and realistic.

It will be definitly less impressive in terms of action and possibilites, it's not a fantastic, mythological game where you gain more and more super powers. In that regard, I feel what Sucker Punch and Sony are doing with this huge project is incredibly audacious and perilous.

I can't wait to see more and learn everything about it.

 

[melodiousmowl]

The accessible version of Sekiro everyone seems to think needs to be made

 

[Callibretto]

My expectation is it will be Assassin Creed-like with better combat and stealth mechanic. Intrust in Sucker Punch. Their games always play and control really well

Isn't From software also a "jap" developer? (And I think that term is considered offensive, not sure though.)

My trolling attempt worked well.

 

[starrywhispers]

I think the game structure is going to be fairly typical open world stuff, which plenty of people don't like but I'm personally happy with. I certainly hope the combat isn't going to be as challenging as Sekiro or Nioh because I want to actually be able to play this game.

Hopefully the story will be good and the graphics look stunning.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

A very decent gameplay with gorgeous breathtaking world... an excellent game overall like most Sony first party games.

 

[Strings]

A very high quality game, but outside of that, not too sure. Going to be sorta impossible not to compare it to Sekiro though >.<

I have pretty big expectations for the villain after the reveal trailer - was a superb introduction.

 

[Listai]

It's sucker punch, so a perfectly serviceable open world title with a beautiful presentation that is ultimately middling.

I don't have a lot of faith in a western developer doing justice to the Japanese setting but I hope they pull it off.

 

[Prolepro]

Greatness.

OT: I expect the clear Kurosawa influenced experience they presented in the E3 demo and Im going to be there for it day 1. I dont think itll blow away my expectations, but Im looking forward to it.

For real from everything I've seen I can't imagine not liking this game. The atmosphere, the visuals, the animation everything is so in my wheelhouse. I don't know what to expect but if I don't end up loving it I will eat my shoe. I also have trust in Sucker Punch, not all their games have been amazing but Infamous 1&2 + the first 3 Sly games? They've had more hits than misses, and even there misses where "just" above average.

 

[DonaldKimball]

A combat system as deep as a puddle on a rainy day and fetch quest galore. Hope I am wrong.

 

[cooldawn]

I'm expecting it to be a ruddy marvellous cinematic experience that's nothing like Sekiro.

 

[MrS]

For it to be a less enjoyable experience than Sekiro and Nioh 2.

 

[Chivalry]

Witcher 3 with samurai. It'll probably be AC: Origins with samurai.

 

[Rodjer]

Your average open world game with good visuals and a serviceable gameplay.

 

[Masagiwa]

I'm very excited for this game especially if you can lean into the stealth aspect more than the samurai stuff. It's gonna be a cinematic, slower paced game with beautiful visuals in typical Sony fashion.

Sly 3 was their best Sly game

 

[jsnepo]

I expect cameos of giant enemy crabs.

 

[KiLAM]

Yeah expecting a cinematic game, amazing visuals and a good story. Hope the gameplay is compelling enough for me to keep playing bcz I am not into open world games at all.

 

[DigSCCP]

I honestly don't think Ghost of Tsushima will share the same combat core of Sekiro and Ni Oh.

That is a very fair assessment of Second Son. However, I would beg to differ on their previous and follow up inFamous games. First Light was very well thought out and cohesive, presumably because its length.

I think the story, narrative, main and story quest quality will definitely be reliant on key people SP has brought on the team since Second Son.

 

[Son of Sparda]

A typical open world game with cool looking samurai fights that isn't really that complex or deep gameplay wise.

 

[Angie]

A disappointment that is not InFamous 3.

 

[Deleted member 46948]

I very much hope stealth will be a viable tactic throughout the game.

 

[fiskyfisko]

I expect pretty graphics. That's all

 

[Herey]

Oh Jeez. Nice of people to decide the gameplay is shallow from an E3 demo obviously built around looking as 'cinematic' as possible.

As per OP I'm just hoping the open world is actually used in an interesting way, and not just filler like the last Infamous. I think SP are up to it.

I doubt it will either. I'm expecting something closer to For Honor or Bushido Blade.

You forgot where you were, didn't you.

I don't know what I'm expecting, but I hope it's got a good bit of stealth built in. I don't need Nioh deep combat, but I hope it feels good. God of War wasn't super deep, but it felt right on every hit. I'd at least like that part right.

Second Son was pretty bad so hopefully much better than that

 

[electroaffe]

Something in between Assassin's Creed and Shadow of Mordor. I hope, I'm wrong.

 

[CHC]

Just expecting a decently good open world game like Horizon. If it ups the ante, that'll be a great surprise, but I'll be happy if it just delivers a competent open world samurai game.

Also expecting endless dumb comparisons to Sekiro and Nioh even though it appears to share very few of their design goals.
