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

Abriael1483d ago

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

Sono4211483d ago

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.

starchild1483d ago

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.

medman1482d ago

@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.

I'm absolutely excited about this!

GTgamer1483d ago

18 minutes of gameplay 😍

angelsx1483d ago

Let's see real gameplay not fake.😉

UltraNova1483d ago

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

GTgamer1483d ago

@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.

Profchaos1483d ago

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.

GTgamer1483d ago

@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

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

SyntheticForm1483d ago

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.

preciousdeath1483d ago

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

Abriael1483d ago

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

UltraNova1483d ago

@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_Observer1483d ago

@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.

UltraNova1483d ago (Edited 1483d ago )

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 ;-)

jambola1483d ago

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

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

Nyxus1483d ago

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

SyntheticForm1483d ago

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.

russo1211483d ago

@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_D1483d ago

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.

Profchaos1483d ago

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

SyntheticForm1483d ago

And that's fine with me.

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

russo1211483d ago (Edited 1483d ago )

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

SyntheticForm1483d ago

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.

Elda1483d ago

By June & July will be PS5 news.

UltraNova1483d ago

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.

neutralgamer19921483d ago (Edited 1483d ago )

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

Muzikguy1483d ago

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

Nice, looking forward to it!

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.

Psychonaut859d 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.

Deeeeznuuuts9d 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;

Goodguy019d ago (Edited 9d 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_looken9d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic9d 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_looken9d 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.

anast9d ago

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

Aloymetal9d ago (Edited 9d 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.

HankHill9d ago

Cry more while your precious plastic box keeps losing exclusives.

anast9d ago (Edited 9d 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

Number1TailzFan9d 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?

Shiore2u9d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic9d 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.

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-custardly10d 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_Head10d ago (Edited 10d 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-custardly10d ago (Edited 10d 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.

@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.
