With the reveals teased for PlayStation's State of Play before 2019's Game Awards being some of the highest anticipated of the Winter, the hype is clearly high. More information will likely be coming in future PlayStation announcements, although likely not E3, which might give players a better idea of exactly what Ghost of Tsushima is going to look like on rele

The PS5 is currently on its way to a fall 2020 release, meaning new next-gen games should start to appear more. One would expect Sony to be primarily focusing on its upcoming console (which it is, behind the scenes), but the PS4 is getting one of the biggest swan songs in console gaming history with some of the most highly anticipated exclusives of its generation. Most notably, _ The Last of Us 2 _ will be closing out the PS4 generation just as _ The Last of Us _ did for the

In the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine (via Twisted Voxel ), new information about Ghost of Tsushima Secrets|https://tsushimagame.com/ of Tsushima has been shared. The most intriguing bit touches upon in-game world exploration. Sucker Punch has designed the Island of Tsushima so that players will need to navigate the environments without the help of waypoints. It’s not quite clear if there won't be any travel assistance in Ghost of Tsushima at all, but the overall concept implies exploration will play a tangible part in beating the g

After years of rumors, tech demos, and pranks, Square Enix is finally releasing one of the most highly requested remakes of all time. Taking Final Fantasy 's first attempt at 3D graphics and recreating the blocky designs with HD redesigns of classic characters and enemies, the Final Fantasy 7 Remake is set to be the biggest release of the year, coming exclusively to PS4, for n

The trailer begins with a confrontation between a travelling Samurai and the man himself, The Ghost of Tsushima. Although it was ambiguous before as to whether or not The Ghost was the playable character, it now seems confirmed that he is. The narration throughout the trailer tells us that The Ghost is a mythic figure, one who many thought left for dead in a battle years ago. But The Ghost survived what many believed to be a terminal infliction and is now dedicated to avenging himself. If there was any doubt as to the graphical fidelity of Ghost of Tsushima , rest assured that should be squelched now. Last year, Sony Boss Shuhei Yoshida remarked on the impressive graphics in the game . It's no easy task for developers to keep visual fidelity high throughout development, especially when adding so many new features, textures and art assets into the g

The highly anticipated Ghost of Tsushima has just become a lot more appealing to old school gamers thanks to the way players will explore the world, as there won’t be any certain waypoints to rely on. This will bring the game closely in line with the exploration of iconic titles like The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind , which challenged its players in similar w

The first invasion took place in 1274 with about 900 ships setting sail from South Korea. The island of Tsushima was the first location of the conflict thanks to its location to Japan. With a small number of soldiers against a massive invasion force, the Tsushima army held out as long as they could but ultimately fell. The Mongols continued forward to Iki Island next, before making landfall at Hakata Bay on mainland Ja

Easily one of the highest anticipated games of 2020, Naughty Dog's Last of Us Part 2 looks to continue the story of Last of Us , a title that some have been calling the best game of the last decade . Naughty Dog clearly has a lot to prove with this one, considering the lofty heights that this game has to live up

Sucker Punch has set the bar very high for themselves with their past success making Sly Cooper and Infamous games. Throughout three generations of PlayStation consoles, the developer has been a mainstay for gamers on the platform. It seems like Ghost of Tsushima is up to the challenge of raising the bar higher than ever before, as Sucker Punch looks to cap off the PlayStation 4 with perhaps it's last AAA exclus

Ghost of Tsushima fictionalizes several elements of this history. For starters, Sucker Punch's Mongol army is led by the fictional Khotun Khan, and Tsushima's ruler is fictional, too - a man named Shimura. Events seen in Ghost of Tsushima's trailers indicate Shimura's battle with the Mongols goes just about as well as it did in real life, but it appears Shimura survives, and so does his nephew, protagonist Jin Sakai. Given he's the playable character, it's no surprise Jin forms the basis of Ghost of Tsushima' s largest departure from history. Rather than being a stand-in for an actual person like Kublai Khan, Jin is essentially a stand-in for 1274's kamikaze . As Sucker Punch Game Director Nate Fox told Variety , "Our hero isn’t a hurricane, he’s a man, and we actually acknowledge that change with his sword that’s engraved with storm wind desig
