When was the last time a Sony first party game was 8-10 hours long? When was the last time an open world game was 8-10 hours long?

I really hope they include a black and white gameplay feature.

I think it was described as an open world IIRC. It's definitely not a linear 10 hour thing based on the trailers and the information that came out since it was announced.
This is perhaps the perfect encapsulation of the game. A Japanese story told through a Western lens.
This looks incredible!
What some companies are pulling out of near seven year old console hardware is just unbelievable.*
*I'm aware this is Pro footage but the standard console is usually just the same game at 1080p. The assets and lighting are what impresses me most, not the resolution.

There's nothing to worry about, this is Sony Playstation we're talking about, this is the current gen King and next gen King we're talking about, we're cool.
I'd love more look at the gameplay, but colour me absolutely shocked this is coming so early. I figured August at the earliest or even pushed to a PS5 launch game/cross launch game.
Sucker Punch is the pioneer of the photo mode, so I wouldn't worry about it :)
Like half of the games they published last year were below 10 hours long: Immortal Legacy: The Jade Cipher, Concrete Genie, Blood & Truth and Erica. Probably MediEvil too but I haven't played it.
There are also short open world games. Sony's Uncharted: The Lost Legacy has a large open segment but can be completed in 8-10 hours. Concrete Genie is open world too.

yes, i mean Second Son had one of the greatest photo modes, i highly doubt they retracted or back stepped on that gold
Sony released like 4 AAA titles in the year 2013 when the PS4 was about to launch. This year seems to be mirroring that.
world looks gorgeous which we already knew but i'm not sold on... everything else about it. hope it's good
Makes me wonder if they want people to double dib. But also hope that they'll follow MS and offer those upgrades for free
And would your instinct be to compare this AAA, 5-years-in-development game to all those, or would Horizon, God of War, Uncharted 4, and Days Gone be better examples of what to expect?
edit: and Spider-Man
Amazing trailer. Not getting hyped for June though. I think it will be delayed till the fall. Sucker Punch is in Seattle right? Isn't that city in a state of emergency right now with Corona-virus? Having some companies adopt work from home policies?
Hoping for the best. I can wait though.

I mean, Uncharted 4 is 15 hours on average according to How Long To Beat. Sucker Punch is a smaller studio. Their last game, Second Son was 10 hours for the main story according to HLtB.
My instinct tells me that Ghost of Tsushima will almost certainly be longer than 10 hours but I don't think a short game can be ruled out just because it's a first party game or has open world elements. Plenty of those are shorter. Depends on the amount of bloat and development focus.
Other than the focus on acrobatics and stealth killing in an open-world environment, honestly I'm just basing that assumption off of how much Sony's first party games have resembled Ubisoft open-world games as of late.
Spider-Man to me felt like "Assassin's Creed except you're Spider-Man". You jump all over the place, do some melee combat, gather a shitload of collectible icons that have been spread all over a map, earn XP, spend skill points on a skill tree with three branches, collect loot which you'll use to craft shit, manage gear levels, and maybe rifle through a lore codex, all represented by tabs lining the top of the menu screen.
If Tsushima doesn't do that stuff I'll honestly be surprised. but look at Spider-Man, Days Gone, Horizon Zero Dawn, and God of War. When I played those games they felt structurally just like AC, Watch Dogs, and Far Cry. I'm also kinda basing this on the Sucker Punch's Infamous games which followed and earlier version of that formula.
Basically I'm saying Tsushima looks like it's gonna be another AAA open-world game. Maybe my guess is totally off and it will be closer to a Naughty Dog game or something, but that's not the feeling I get when I see the horse and the open world, and judging by the developer's past work.
10 hours would totally suck...this needs to be at least 18-20 hours...completionist: 25 hours
I can already see every reviewer mentioning Sekiro at least once in their review...seems like they are destined to always be compared to one another...and with Sekiro winning so many Game of the Year awards it's going to be a tough act to follow

Obviously a premature question, but do you think this is a franchise or just a one off?
Because this is based on reality right? Loosely of course. So, how would a sequel work..........

Yeah based on my assumptions about what kind of game Tsushima is gonna be, I think it's gonna be closer to 20 or 30 hours for the main story.
It's kinda hilarious how people forget this game is completely open world.
Wasn't their last game, inFamous: Second Son, open world? How Long to Beat says the main story is 10 hours long in that game. I don't think this game is 8-10 hours long personally but I have not seen anything conclusive to support it isn't.
June is sooner than I thought; I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought this would be a July title.
I mean, TLOU2 and GoT were originally supposed to ship 9 and 6 months before the PS5's presumed November launch. That's not exactly "right before PS5 launch." Even now, late June is five months before a late November launch, and who knows if the PS5 will make that launch window.
The last year of the PS3 had far more titles, including titles like Beyond, Puppeteer, and GT6 in the fall/winter. I think Sony learned not to do that again.

I am really surprised that they announced a such a close launch date without ever really even defining what GoT is. Is it an open world ninja sim? Is it linear and level-based like TLoU? Is it pseudo-linear like Sekiro? Is it a realistic and grounded immersive sim? Or are there fantasy elements that involve magic, mystical creatures, and superhuman abilities?
I don't understand why they are so intent on shipping and selling a product that most people don't even really understand.

I hope to be surprised by GoT's gameplay the same way I was for Spider-Man.
Went in thinking I'm going to get Arkham and I ended up with DMC.... And Arkham

FUCKKK Nakai is one of my favorites.
Really thinking about picking up the collector's then.
From the latest OPM UK magazine:
I'm really happy to read about the lack of waypoints, and a reliance on landmarks to navigate the open world. It's one of the big reasons I was initially excited about the title.
