Sucker Punch Dev Tweets Tease for Ghost of Tsushima at E3 2018

Billy Harper, Animation Director at Sucker Punch, tweeted a photo of a katana sticking out of a platform. The picture shows what appears to be the initial start to setting up the Ghost of Tsushima area at June's E3 event.

Oh nice! Only a little while longer until E3!

Hope they have Samurai Showdowns like the commenter on Twitter just posted, it would kind of be like RDR's but with swords.

starchild2197d ago

You're telling me! It's my most anticipated game, along with Cyberpunk 2077. I really hope they show us a decent amount of the stealth gameplay and more of the world.

ArchangelMike2197d ago

Awesome. I can't wait to see more this game. I think Sony have all the hype this year going into E3.

SuperSaiyanGod412196d ago

I agree, I find it funny how the media tries to make it seem like Spiderman, ghost of tsushima, death stranding and the last of us 2 aren't games to be really hyped for since Sony announced they we're going to take a deep dive into these 4 exclusives.

Like I said on another thread, these 4 games will be just as big as god of war or any other huge game people are looking forward too and we all seen what god of war did sales wise and single handedly gave the ps pro a huge boost in sales. Look for more of that with just these 4 exclusives and Sony has marketing rights for red dead redemption 2. Bruh nothing is going to stop PS4.

Hardiman2196d ago

Yeah these four are in a league of their own and while some may try to downplay them there's no denying the hype and excitement for the gameplay of these titles!

Like you stated these four will be massive, massive system sellers!

While there are quite a few titles I'm excited for and there may be a few surprises, nothing has me more excited than seeing gameplay of TLOU2, Ghosts of Tsushima and Death Stranding!

I know what u mean bruh, the wait is killing me. Feels like we're waiting years even though it's a few weeks away lol.

It's funny how PS fans keep acting like the media is trashing their poor games, despite the fact that this very same press is always scoring them 9 or 10 (and the odd score lower than that which is immediately pronounced as heresy)
Who on earth is trying to make it seem like Death Stranding, Spider Man, TLOU 2 are not big ? Where is this press you speak of ?

These are some of the most if not THE most hyped games ever, especially Death Stranding. Cyberpunk is probably the most hyped game overall, ofcourse

SuperSaiyanGod412196d ago

When gaming sites say aww Sony has already played their cards and announced their games they are going to talk the most about at e3 and say things like it's already a let down or giving it's competition a chance to win. To me that's telling me that these game sites are overlooking the 4 games Sony are taking a deep dive in. Doesn't that sound like they are brushing off Sony's 4 most highly anticipated games?

For example if Microsoft had a new halo and gears and 2 new ip's we knew that we're coming and Microsoft said, we're going to take a deep dive into these 4 exclusives that would be huge for Xbox fans.

Same for Nintendo if they had anew Zelda, Mario, Metroid prime and Pokemon game and said they were going to take a deep dive into these games Nintendo fans would be happy but the media would still try an downplay it like these games are just ordinary titles.

That's all I'm saying. Anyone who denies any of these 4 exclusives Sony are showing at e3 are small fries just look at god of war reviews and sales and take that into consideration of how strong PS4 exclusives are selling this generation before brushing off Sony like they already played their cards.

I know it has given no hint of it whatsoever, but i feel like i'm going to be watching the new trailer and somewhere along the presentation the protagonist is going to use some super power out of nowhere and blow my f*&%ing mind!

Wont be disappointed if this isn't the case, just feel like it's something that'll happen.

FATHASUN2197d ago

Super Powers will make this game into something other than what it has been portrayed to be so far.

Very little is known but I am not getting that type of vibe from this.

Smokehouse2196d ago

I agree. I think the smoke effect was just a visualization of this fallen samurai turning into an assassin. More symbolic than a super power. I don’t mind believable “super powers” and ninja tricks (it’s sucker punch) but I’d rather it not be heavy on the supernatural. I’m getting the vibe of historic as well.

MrSec842196d ago (Edited 2196d ago )

Yeah, it seems more like a realistic, dramatic epic story, about a fallen Samurai Warrior who becomes a Ninja or Ghost.

The smoke literally looked like a Ninja explosive, used for deception as a strategy, I don't think this game will have Infamous style powers.

I personally hope it's a logically thought out, realistic melee game, set in a vast open world, with a landscape that's alive and packed with depth that fits the era.

jhoward5852197d ago (Edited 2197d ago )

@isarai
By judging by the the first GOT tralier it has a japanese traditional feel to it. I don't think this game will have an over the top super human powers or magics in the game.

Bathyj2196d ago

I really hope you're wrong. I'm looking for feudal Japan. Nothing more. Less Dragon Ball Z, more open world Tenchu. But with great sword play, story and voice acting.

In fact this would be the only game I would actually want to play with the Japanese voice acting if available.

Sevir2196d ago

They're exploring the Mongol invasion of Tsushima... Honestly Sucker Punch's pedigree is tight gameplay and fantastic sense of empowerment of it's players. The very end of the trailer showed the protagonist gain the powers of "Ghost" to overwhelm the Mongol army...

I'm sure it will be historic , but I have a feeling this will be bend on the fantastical side

MrSec842196d ago

@Sevir: The trailer didn't show any powers, it had the Samurai transform into what looks like a Shinobi, the cloud of smoke was from a physical, period appropriate explosive.

This seems grounded in realism, with a stylistic edge.

Playing this at a locked 175 fps on an OLED ultra wide at max settings is truly awe inspiring. A great way to replay this classic.

Psychonaut853d ago

Sweet! Glad to see it make the jump. Hopefully the PSN requirement doesn’t put too many people off. I think it’s only if you plan to play the Legends mode. It’s bullshit, but at least you can access the main game without making a PSN profile if that bothers you. I know on PC everyone’s sick of everyone trying to push their own launchers and shit.

Deeeeznuuuts3d ago

It's really not that big of a deal, PC players just love to complain, my friend has quite a few launches and never once complained, really no issues at all 😂😂😂 28514;

Goodguy013d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Indeed. It's for the trophies and online. I just hope Sony doesn't require ps plus subscription at some point for their online games. PC gamers have dealt with 3rd party launchers forever, just a bunch of silly complaints, nothing different.

just_looken2d ago

@dee

Right how dare those 180 countries that had this game listed a month ago but no longer do complain about a forced new regulation that is blocking the sale of the game even in japan.

Then you got the fact many countries need a goverment id to check if your legally a adult.

I have a psn account that is not linked to my steam account as having any form of vpn/antivirus and even something like discord can break there psn TOS. If your psn account gets banned via pc bs then your entire consoles online are bricked as do too them needing real information we all only have one account now.

FinalFantasyFanatic2d ago

I don't mind having a few launchers, just don't make me log into it all the time, it's astounding that some developers still persist with having their own launchers.

just_looken2d ago

Its a greed deal

Alot of them wanted to leave steam so they would not pay that 30% charge but then there overall number of sales dropped opps so now there back but with there launcher as a leach because all these games have attached bullshit like ubi points or capcom rewards/stat tracking even the activation launcher that needs to be a thing for cheaters/stat track i think even trophies to a extent.

Just be glad we do not have a sony launcher as it would no doubt be fighting rockstar for most unsecured worst launcher on pc.

anast3d ago

So we are lovin' PSN now? How fickle the herd is.

Aloymetal3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Some people love to complain but if it wasn't for Sony themselves they wouldn't be playing these amazing 1st party games on their PeeZees.

Cry more while your precious plastic box keeps losing exclusives.

anast3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

As long as your not serious, welcome to the party.

This is fun. My turn.

Yeah, all 10 people that can actually afford a decent PC isn't much. This is why they are drip feeding PC gamers because they'll eat up 10 year old games like they're new, and that's all 10 of them. Consoles gamers already wore that shoe, you all are getting leftovers.

Your turn

Number1TailzFan3d ago

@ anast uhh, looks like the video is showing last gen (soon to be 2 gen old) GPUs running it pretty well to me? I mean if you can't keep your PC decently current then that's hardly the devs fault now is it?

Shiore2u2d ago

@anast

You really need to stop trying so hard, it's getting downright embarrassing. Brand loyalty is a stupid endeavor, accept it, learn from it and move on.

FinalFantasyFanatic2d ago

@anast,
A 7-year-old GPU can trade blows with a PS5 in performance, I don't think it's going to be that hard to match/beat the PS5, especially if you look at the second hand market for parts.

here and most of the internet will never go against sony or play station there like the apple logo.

I guess the ps5 was holding this game back.

Has Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut PC sales earned around £18 Million in its first week on Steam?

CG writes: The question we’re asking is, has Sucker Punch’s just released stealth-action game Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC earned over £18 million in revenue on release week via the Steam platform alone (also available via the Epic Games Store)?

"also available via the Epic Games Store"

I'm pretty sure Epic Games Store is available in over 190 countries and 30 territories. So anyone that said that this game was not available in them was just lying.

I'm so shocked by games journalists and fauxragers lying. Really shocked. I do pity them though. I can't imagine going through life with such anger... at everything.

bunt-custardly4d ago

Hehe, you do know how much PC players whine about having multiple store platforms when really all they want is Steam to run a monopoly. Thank ye heavens for Gog and Epic.

Giblet_Head3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

When Steam is one of the very few actually trying with it's feature set it's a hard sell to get people to want something on a storefront that could care less about improving it's service. GoG is another exception, but Epic, which is still missing many features that have been on Steam for years like every other publisher just half-ass it, so they've earned and continue to maintain their poor reception and presumably act confused come every quarterly report for failure to understand the market they're in. Who really wants to invest in something that actively instills little faith?

bunt-custardly3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Interesting answer from co-pilot when asked what are the differences between EGS and Steam.

Copilot
The Epic Game Store (EGS) and Steam are both digital distribution platforms for PC games, but they have some key differences:

Game Selection: Steam has a larger selection of games, including both indie and AAA titles, and has been established longer, since 20031. EGS, while newer, offers a curated selection of games, including timed exclusives and titles not available on other platforms1.

Revenue Split: EGS offers a more favorable revenue split for developers, taking only a 12% cut compared to Steam’s 20-30%, which can be a big draw for game publishers1.

Free Games: EGS is known for its regular giveaways of free games, which has been a major feature since its launch in December 20181. Steam also offers free games, but less frequently1.

User Interface: Steam provides a more feature-rich experience with user reviews, community discussions, game streaming, and non-gaming software. EGS has a more streamlined interface, focusing on a simpler user experience1.

Social Features: Both platforms offer social features like friends lists and chat functionality, but Steam’s community features are more extensive, including groups, forums, and user profiles1.

Exclusivity: EGS has secured exclusive deals for certain games, making them available only on their platform for a limited time before they can be purchased elsewhere1.

These are some of the main differences that set the two stores apart. Each platform has its own strengths and caters to different preferences and needs.

Co-Pilot forgot to mention: Both offer software, but Steam is very much more in-tune with VR with its Steam VR integration.

Giblet_Head2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@bunt-custardly
I wouldn't take AI as gospel, especially a corporate one that ends most every answer with meaningless neutral ambiguity. You're better off actually talking to humans that use either and have something to lose, be it time, energy or financial investment. Personal experiences AI can't relate to.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut PC Opening Gameplay - A stunning game on PS4, now even better

CG writes: In this video we look at Sucker Punch’s open-world samurai warrior/stealth game, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut PC. We originally played this on PS4 Pro, but looks fantastic using Ultra settings on PC in native 4K and DLSS set to Quality (2K). This is the opening 1 hour and 17 minutes of playing. You can tell we played this before based on our impeccable parrying.
