What are your expectations for Ghost Of Tsushima?
- Thread starter MillionIII
- Start date
Realistic or not, even when not compared to Sekiro, Tsushima just sounds weak. And realism for realism's sake isn't really an answer, especially for a video game. Here's a big ol' Hollywood samurai production:
Sounds a lot better too without needing to go over the top like Sekiro. Clashes in Tsushima don't even sound like swords are clashing, more like a fork is scraping against a butter knife. Sound design in this game is just wack.
GoT sounds basically the same lol, it's just that the GoT video you linked to is quieter overall. That's why I mentioned volume matching earlier. Simply upping the volume is going to largely rectify the issue you have.
I got a feeling the gameplay won't be nearly as good as Horizon tho and my expectations for Ghost aren't very high
Horizon have one of the best open world combat of this gen, that's not easy to match.
Great samurai sword combat is what I want from it. The demo looked good, so hopefully it will have a deep combat system with lots of moves to learn.
Playing Sekiro has made me look forward to more Samurai / Ninja games.

I agree that the design goals are very different, but Sekiro is not linear. Not really open world either though.
-Beautiful open world
-Bland combat and writing
-Typical open world quest ei kill this, collect that
Nothing memorable, Sucker Punch simply aren't a very good studio. Sly Cooper was great but aside that they've average
Plus people are going to compare this to Sekiro. I dislike Souls games but even I know From Software is so far out of SP league that its not even funny.

Going off the demo I feel like it'll look amazing but have generic gameplay mechanics. I still want to play it though.
My expectations are that it will be something a like a lot given Sony's current mindset when it comes to their first party.Insane production values and cinematic presentation.I hope stealth is a big part of the game,I'm sure it will be given it's called Ghost of Tsushima.
I expect Era threads on it to get progressively more unreadably shit the closer to release it gets.
With 3 skill trees that show you a little movie of the skill before you get it and you get more than enough skill points to fill them out halfway through the game.
Do we know if it will have a Japanese audio option?
I think you're lowballing the sales, I don't see this having a problem selling like Horizon.
Based on the tiny bits that I can recall from its E3 debut last year:
What I actually hope for is that I'm wrong and it ends up being pretty similar to Horizon Zero Dawn. My expectations for Horizon Zero Dawn were pretty similar and I was actually blown away by how robust its combat system could be and how enjoyable it was to actually explore the world and partake in its side activities.
I'm not casting this game off yet -- the above bullet points do kinda feel meh-worthy as far as my own tastes go, but I must stress that I feel like my impression is extremely limited and distant since all I have seen is the E3 2018 trailer and I haven't even watched it again since E3, so that impression itself is hazy and unreliable. I like the Kurosawa-esque styling, at least, so I kinda hope they're crafting a really amazing game around that kinda central callback theme... I just don't remember actually seeing any proof of that just yet.
- Fantastic graphics tech.
- Settings, character personas, and themes that are evocative of Kurosawa-esque samurai films.
- A combat system that presents itself as cinematically visceral but doesn't really stand out in terms of complexity or difficulty.
- LA Noire-style limited open world -- it's technically open but the game encourages more of a dedicated story-driven path through it rather than offering a large ensemble of activities.

No, it's a Hollywood issue. You want Hollywood sword sounds. Real swords don't clang, they clack. Tsushima has it right, it's everyone else that has it wrong. Sure, it sounds "cool", but it's not in any way realistic.
This would be great imo. Wasn't a fan of either the infamous games.
You're right, I'm not interested in realism in my video games. I want something that feels and sounds satisfying and exciting. I'm not interested in sound effects that I can recreate on my kitchen table.
Speaking of realism, please tell me how realistic is TsushimaGuy's slow-mo batman-vision.
I like how the hard work of an entire professional sound team can be reduced to "I can recreate these sounds with kitchen knives lol".
Also, many games that aim for realism can still have unrealistic or gamey elements. For example, Red dead 2 aims for realism yet the player can regain health after getting shot by drinking potions & eating food.
Don't look at me, I'm not the one who's super hung up on "the swords don't clang right" as the game's biggest fault.
Judging sound design based on E3 demo shown at least a year (but more likely at least 18 months) before release.
Fantastic take, this thread is hilarious.
The levels of negativity on this game and Sucker Punch in general are very surprising to me. Is it that people are just over protective of Sekiro, after a lot of people are coming out not enjoying the game that much? I say relax, they are completely different, give SP some love - Guerilla rose up to the challenge with Horizon and think they will too.
I can only judge by what I am given. And Sony/SP decided to give us that. It'd be nice if the final release was different.
You're desperately reaching for anything to shit on GoT for some reason. But I guess everyone needs a hobby?
Expecting a great open world experience that nails the atmosphere of the period. And expecting some satisfying moments of stealth.
Just hoping the combat doesn't become as simple as Assassin Creed used to be. A simple block and attack fight would disappoint me.
Want to be forced to read my enemies and react to their attacks. I don't expect the depth of Sekiro but I hope it's not a simple fight.

No idea but it really surprises me how all over the place expectations and reactions to GoT have been here, I thought that the E3 trailer/demo was pretty universally very well received.
