Thursday’s State of Play is All About Ghost of Tsushima

Tune in for an extended look at Sucker Punch’s gorgeous open-world epic.

[blackblades]

They made it real clear, no ps5 related content and only focused is this game.

[Abriael]

Which is good. I'm 100% more excited about Ghost of Tsushima than I am about any console.

[Sono421]

Well i've already made up my mind to get the game after the first two trailers, so now I want to go in as blind as possible, so I won't be watching.. sadly.

[starchild]

I'm good with it. As excited as I am for the next generation I can wait to get more info, but Ghost of Tsushima is one of my most anticipated games and I've been waiting a long time for it. I can't wait to see stealth and infiltration gameplay and more world exploration.

[medman]

@abriael
I'm pumped about Ghost of Tsushima as well, but personally I'm more excited for the next gen and the possibilities it brings. It's hard for me to compare one game, no matter what game it is, to future changes to the entire gameplay experience that is the promise of any new generation.

[NecrumOddBoy]

I'm absolutely excited about this!

[GTgamer]

18 minutes of gameplay 😍

[angelsx]

Let's see real gameplay not fake.😉

[UltraNova]

Hopefully we'll get to see a full mission from start to finish!

[GTgamer]

@ultraNova
Well given that the E3 demo was just a side quest and that was only 8 minutes it's definitely possible we'll see an entire mission.

[Profchaos]

The video weighs in at 18 minutes currently but that could include a dev interview and other things around the studio I would of only expected 10 minutes of gameplay for a extended gameplay preview so if there is more it's a nice surprise.

[GTgamer]

@Profchaos
Well hopefully they answer questions as they play the game because it's so close to release that they should have more than enough polished gameplay to show

[Sunny_D]

Damn either Sony is being marketing geniuses striking when the iron is hot or just being careful after the whole Xbox event debacle lol.

[SyntheticForm]

I think now is Sony's time to step in after the "gameplay" Microsoft showed, and present real, actual gameplay. Even though it's not a PS5 game, showing gameplay of an anticipated game is the perfect play right now.

And, we're all going to get excited.

[preciousdeath]

If they announce it for PS5 AND show PS5 gameplay, the internet will blow up.

[Abriael]

Sony's always been pretty generous with long gameplay presentations. I don't think they're doing it in reaction to anything specific.

[UltraNova]

@synth

And the irony of it all will be GoT on ps4 looking far better than anything shown on the Xbox series x games reveal.

[Obscure_Observer]

@UltraNova

"And the irony of it all will be GoT on ps4 looking far better than anything shown on the Xbox series x games reveal."

Few weeks ago, you were complaining about how this site wasn´t worth of visiting and comment on anymore because you were "tired" Xbox fanboys and stupid console war. And here you are... stirring the pot trying to start some stupid fanboy nonsentical argument, when most PS fans are just happy with the great news.

Next time you complain about Xbox fanboys, I´m goin to remind you of your hypocrisy.

[UltraNova]

Obscure,

Oh that hit a nerve...I apologize, but I truly believe its ironic when a current-gen game is looking better than anything currently shown for a next system...

See you in the trenches buddy ;-)

[jambola]

Would be a great time to show off a few games with actual gameplay, could be a burn remembered for years

[pwnmaster3000]

Dang I’m really excited for it but did Sony just give up on Last of us 2.
What about that game?

[Nyxus]

Give up? The game has a release date for next month and just recently got a new trailer.

[SyntheticForm]

Nobody gave up on TLOU 2, least of all Naughty Dog. There's a negative cloud surrounding this game right now, but I won't let it affect my good mood and anticipation for this game.

[russo121]

@pwnmaster3000

You'll have certainly the opportunity and time where you can talk about TLOU2, but now, if you didn't understand, we are talking about a great masterpiece called Ghost of Tsushima!

[Sunny_D]

The Last of Us 2 has had multiple gameplay segments shown and is a sequel so people are already excited for it. Ghost of Tshushima hasn’t had much gameplay shown hence why they are doing this event.

[Profchaos]

They have already showcased tlou 2 a few times this is getting close to launch to and could do with some more spotlight

[SyntheticForm]

And that's fine with me.

Thrilled to see more of Sucker Punch's first work since Infamous.

[russo121]

I loved Infamous Second Son, and unfortunately Sucker Punch is a really underrated game studio. People should appreciate more their work.

[SyntheticForm]

I loved it too, though it wasn't my favorite Infamous game - that would be Infamous 2.

I think Second Son first and foremost was a love letter to Seattle. They used the then new power of the PS4 to create an absolutely beautiful Seattle for us to play around in. Yet, with all its vibrant neon, particles, bevy of new powers, etc, it didn't feel as alive as New Marais. Not quite as chaotic and lively, and, I missed car throwing.

I agree that Sucker Punch are underrated, or at least not as recognized as I feel they should be. Hopefully this game is a hit and puts them front and center as of one of Sony Studio's major players.

[Elda]

By June & July will be PS5 news.

[UltraNova]

Not sure about that tbh, I mean do they really want us to focus away from tLoU 2 and GoT?

I'm afraid the full ps5 reveal is ways off. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong on this one.

[neutralgamer1992]

I guess this is good for all those people who wanted to see more gameplay and where all those people who were saying not enough gameplay has been shown before release

Sony has been so transparent anytime they do any of these shows. Before the reveal event of PlayStation 5 they said this was geared more towards GDC but gamers still complain about the fact that it was a event geared more towards developers

This means there will be a big event for PlayStation 5 sometimes down the road since they are not talking in bits and pieces

Gameplay digs at Microsoft are funny if people still think Sony doesn't get it then I don't know what to tell them

[Muzikguy]

I said months ago that this was going to be my last PS4 game before the new system. I'm excited for it

[Majin-vegeta]

I'm ready im ready

[Nyxus]

Nice, looking forward to it!

"You’ll get an extended look at new gameplay footage, including exploration, combat and more. The current cut is clocking in around 18 minutes, give or take."

[-Ghost]

Great to hear. Looking forward to it.

[Looper]

Noice.

[XxSPIDEYxX]

Yessss! Super excited for this!

[Hellcat2020]

This is music to my ears
I’ve been waiting for some good gaming news and what a surprise this is!
Awesome and can’t wait

[isarai]

Oooh!

[NobleRed]

18 minutes awesomeness.

[CaptainHenry916]

Another PS4 exclusive that's about to dominate. Thank you Sony and sucker punch!

[Ready4nxtgen]

Lmaoo xbox trying to show off there new flunky console and Sony still spitting out them A1 exclusives 🤣🤣. Good luck micro boys. But seriously, if you dont have a PS4, now is it a great time to get it with LOU2 and Ghost dropping. Plus all the other exclusives

[NobleRed]

Or better buy a PS5 instead of a slugboxseries X and revist all the amazing ps4 games.

[pwnmaster3000]

No need to bring in MS. Let’s just enjoy Sony and what they do best.
I know MS fans been really chatty lately but let’s keep it classy.

[Obscure_Observer]

Well said.

[Profchaos]

Or a ps5 which gives backwards compatibility for ps4 games. Seriously if I didn't already own a pro I.... who am I kidding I couldn't not buy the ps4 day one and the pro day 1

[russo121]

Alert N4G, GOTY on-sight!

"...You’ll get an extended look at new gameplay footage, including exploration, combat and more..." This is the way to talk to gamers.

[starchild]

Well yeah, but it releases in about two months. Most games have a good amount of gameplay shown by that point in development.

But I definitely expect great things from Ghost of Tsushima.

[zsquaresoff]

Sony is going to show whats the literal meaning of 'gameplay' to Microsoft.

[russo121]

Pssst, no need to beat the visually impaired MS...

[Sunny_D]

I’m telling ya. The wording in this blog was purposeful. Sony know what they are doing 🤣

[thornh]

Has always been my number 1 most anticipated game of 2020. Have the collector's edition pre-ordered. Can't wait. I can easily see this game holding me through to the eventual PS5 release.

[ninsigma]

But should I watch or just wait for the game!? The dilemma!

[I_am_Batman]

I'm 100% in already. Sucker Punch is one of my favorite studios. With that being said I'm definitely going to watch this, because I want to get more details about the gameplay-loop and how the combat works. I might not watch the whole thing if it gets too spoilery though.

[ninsigma]

Oh I'm definitely in! But yeah the gameplay loops is what what has me thinking I'll watch because that'll be interesting to find out.

[rainslacker]

Chances are, they aren't going to show any major story spoilers, so why not do both?

Long game play showings aren't really my thing. 5 minutes is about where I start losing interest in watching, so we'll see how the SoP goes. I'm already getting the game though. yet another game to add to my growing back log.

[SethBrundlefly]

There will be gameplay 😜

[IRetrouk]

Yes, this game is day 1, sucker punch are gonna knock this out the park, hopefully after this state of play it's full steam ahead with ps5 stuff, as much as I want this game and tlou2, I want next gen to be here already.

[lazyboyblue]

I'd like a last of us 2 one as well.

[ocelot07]

Can't wait for this. But some info of a PS5 patch for it would be nice.

[TGGJustin]

Looking forward to seeing more of this!

[Kaedro]

Who wanna bet this game is going to look better than any next-gen game showed at the Inside Xbox event?

[Elda]

Always hyped to see & hear news on a PS exclusive especially GOT. After this showcase June/July & the upcoming months will most likely be PS5 news.

[Fishy Fingers]

I think between this and (primarily) TLoU2 are the only reason they're not releasing PS5 news. Had they shipped at their original dates I have no doubt we wouldnt of seen/heard more.

[Elda]

I've always thought to myself once Sony's 2 big games are released that's when we'll start hearing big PS5 news.

[IRetrouk]

I think after this Thursday's state of play they will start to mention it more, probably still a june reveal but I think they may show some games before then, who really knows though.

[TheGamez100]

And it better have gameplay. Id like to see hud elements and menus.

[blackblades]

Why you acting like you never seen gameplay before.

[mynameisthumper]

I'm so excited! I really really hope this ends up being as fun to play as it is incredibly gorgeous :D

[Gaming4Life1981]

I only work half a day Thursday so I can tune in. I'm already getting this game day one but i would like to learn more about it.

[SamTheGamer]

The real gameplay is coming...Looking forward

[Magog]

I don't need the spoilers. Clearly it's worth the purchase from what's been shown already.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Ugh, I work 8-6. Bummer. I'll have to watch it after.

[Watchyabackbai84]

Can't wait :)

[sourOG]

Finally I can’t wait to see what’s up

[Phantom68]

It is good they were honest and did not mislead people like Microsft did with their recent events.

[Poopmist]

Game should be good. Crowded year though with all of the launch PS5 and XSX titles, Cyberpunk, Ori, and FF7 for GOTY.

[Dom_Estos]

Visually the best looking title I've ever set eyes on. It could almost certainly be announced as a next gen title and no one would bat an eyelid.

[Relientk77]

Oh boy, this is gonna be good!

[NapalmSanctuary]

I believe this will be my second purchase of Sony first party exclusive games this gen. Good job Sony. I'm extremely picky.

[Donnie81]

One last hurrah with the ps4 pro.

[King_Noctis]

Man so hyped for this.

[ziggurcat]

Looking forward to this game so much.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

I want PS5 news.

[sushimama]

And I want you to shut up. But it looks like we'll both have to be patient because we don't have any control over what we want here. Looking forward to see more of Ghost Of Tsushima

[RazzerRedux]

No one believes you.

[galmi]

HYYYYPPPPEEEEDDDDDDD
Really looking forward to this

[AK91]

Makes sense game is coming out very soon.

[jambola]

Yay
First State of play in 6 months
And it's 1 game

[Imortus_san]

I will skip the gameplay, I will only whatch Digital Froundry tests when it releases to see if it's worth my time or not.
