Ghost of Tsushima new artwork

Expecting a dev like sucker punch to keep up with action veterans like team ninja is setting yourself up for disappointment
I loved Infamous second son, but I don't believe Insomniac are the right developers for this type of game. Hopefully, they hired a lot of Japanese historian and writers in order to give this game a more realistic atmosphere. I would have preferred the fictional super hero elements be taken out and make the game more like the manga Vagabond.
God it looks good, I want it to be realistic, gritty, bloody.
Can't wait for Sony's conference.

I'm not sure if you've seen the reveal trailer, but if you haven't you should check it out pronto:

If the trailer is anything to go by, you can rest easy :)
I'm hoping the game is violent too. I will be very disappointed if it is not.
I have no doubt the gameplay will be good. I just hope they have an open world with depth and good side content. I feel the inFamous games lack this, especially Second Son.
The second one is obviously drawn by hand but the first looks like it could be 3D rendered. I hope this is an ingame render and the game will look as good as this.
On the contrary, I hope it stays as grounded as possible, without delving into too much fictional stuff.
Well it si called the Ghost Of Tsushima. You can't be called a ghost if you are not supernatural. :D
I understand what you're saying, really I do. But when you consider how drastic a change guerilla went with with going from Killzone to hzd, you really can't be much more different. And I bet that pre hzd most people would say that sucker punch was actually the better developer
I remember reading a thread on this forum that stated there will be super power elements added to the game. My hype level will not decrease if that is true, however I would have preferred a more realistic experience with social activities and tamed violence.
Yea, the dichotomy between Killzone and Hzd is like night and day. Insomniac has been working on this for awhile, so they could pull it of like how Guerilla went from Killzone to Hzd. It is best to wait for gameplay and make a better conclusion.
Ok, there is still hope for what I want from this game.
imo it would be a waste for sucker punch who are known for their fun superpowers gameplay to change to a more grounded experience.
Touche'
Been waiting patiently for more info on this game. I've always been enthralled with feudal Japan....and this looks amazing!
Haha, I don't know why I get those two confused. I meant Sucker Punch. Maybe it has to do with their development of Sly Copper and Insomniac Rachet and Clank.
I think if they were going to have superpowers in this game, they would have revealed it in the first trailer. Sucker Punch are known for this so there'd be no reason to hide it.
Wanted to see if I could find anything in history that COULD be a reference to a ghost samurai, or could be as an interpretation of calling a samurai a ghost. Found this:
"Kusunoki Masashige was born in relative obscurity, becoming the leader of a small fief in Japan. In 1331, Japanese emperor Go-Daigo called Kusunoki to fight a losing battle for the kingdom. Though emperor Go-Daigo was captured by a swarm of shogunate forces shortly after Kusunoki joined the fight, Kusunoki managed to escape to Japan's mountainous countryside. He then led a small group of men in a series of guerrilla-style raids that helped to turn the tide of the war. In 1332, he captured Chihaya, a fortress in central Japan that proved to be of critical strategic importance."
This is not tsushima invasion, and takes place decades after that. But a samurai leading guerilla style warfare? that sounds ghosty and action stealth to me. I'm stretching, but hey, who knows lol

It's OK to branch out and step outside of the comfort zone once in a while. It makes the product more unpredictable and fresh.
Random thought, is cod the only major media franchise that actually calls their zombies zombies? Just a musing lol
Maybe not during the first phases of the game. The last bit of the trailer may hint at it though, maybe when the protagonist will be called Ghost Of Tsushima after acquring such powers/training.
They went to Tsushima to do research for the game and to base it on an actual event that happened, just to throw it out the window for supernatural abilities. I don't think they are that stupid.
What gameplay style are you guys expecting?
Nioh? Batman/Assassins Creed? Ninja Gaiden? Dark Souls? Tenchu?
I'm expecting a mix of Tenchu (seeing how its an action stealth game), mixed with Nioh style stance switching for more dynamic combat. That would be the perfect combo for this game imo.

I am actually expecting something closer to For Honor's system.
I truly hope not, or if they add fantasy, keep it to some sort of dream sequence or something like in AssCreed Origins.
Oh! Oh! In my research I found that gunpowder was a significant and relatively new part of the Japanese defence against the Mongols. Maybe we have a samurai batman with gadgets lol
I pictured that too, but I'm not sure that would work really well in an open world setting? Might be too slow. That style of combat for 1 on 1 samurai duels would be sick, though.
SP was inspired by Akira Kurosawa films, so you can expect a lot of epic samurai duels.
Yup, one thing though, the Mongols introduced fire bombs, fire arrows, and rockets, which is why their conquests were often successful, and we can expect to use a lot of the same tools against them (you can see the fire bomb at the end of the trailer)
Since the reveal at PGW, this game has been constantly on my mind. Shenmue 3 aside, it is the game I most want to play. I hope that Sucker Punch have done their research diligently. I want this game to feed my dreams.
But this type of discussion happens with any game? It's fun speculating on what you think the game will play as.
And the stealth is already confirmed, SP described it as an open world stealth action game.
Also, I love the setting so much, it could play the opposite the way I expect it to and still be super excited, as it's a theme that's not really explored in the AAA gaming market, and something I've wanted since Assassins Creed 1.
Sucker Punch didn't used to be known for superpowers gameplay. Infamous is the only series with superpower theme.
Maybe it's just me, but from Sly Cooper days, I always think Sucker Punch really excel at making control scheme that let you have variety of action in a sreamlined way.
Even in infamous for example. It's basically a third person shooter with many of the lightning power are basically replacement for handgun/shotgun/sniper/grenade etc. But in infamous 1, you never have to 'switch guns' like other shooter because it's all done with face button and modifier. So all the 'guns' are available to you at all times.
It's a small thing, just skipping the swap guns phase from other shooter, but I think that really give infamous a different feel.
Imo we are looking at an April-June release. But that's just my gut feeling ^^
Love it. Need it.
I love Samurai and the feudal Japan setting. Wish there would be more games out there that adopted it. Even mixed up with scifi, steampunk, fantasy or whatever.
Can't wait to see how it looks and plays. Probably my most hyped game this E3.
