Over the past few days, I have been going in-depth in the history and setting behind Sucker Punch’s upcoming open-world game Ghost of Tsushima . Part 1 of my analysis looked at the Mongol invasions of Japan that surround the events of the game, and Part 2 will take a look at the setting focused on the island of Tsushima itself. So you can consider this Part

Will Ghost of Tsushima become an absolute smash hit and Sony’s next big IP? We’ll see. It’ll depend a lot on the quality of the game and on how much money the house of PlayStation will spend on pushing its promotion. That being said, its Japanese flavor is far from being a handicap. It’s probably the one element that can set it apart from today’s overcrowded market, and make it s
That being said, we’re not even talking about a Japanese game here. We’re talking about a massive AAA exclusive by one of the most revered among Sony Interactive Entertainment’s western first party studios. The problem that Pachter sees is in Ghost of Tsushima ‘s Japanese flav
One of the big headliners of SDCC 2017, Justice League took prime position in Warner Bros. two-hour panel. The trailer released is a whopping four minutes long and gives a comprehensive view of the mo

Rend is a hybrid fantasy survival game that will introduce RPG elements and various other game mechanics to the genre in ways never previously seen.

Dreams is arguably this year’s most interesting PSX appearance, with developer Media Molecule having gone mostly radio silent since simply click the next internet site game’s brief tease at the PS4 announcement event back in February 2013. With a confirmed showing at the PlayStation Presents presser and its own panel, expect to learn plenty about the creativity sim and its likely impending beta.
It takes hours to cross the map of Assassin’s Creed Origins on foot. Even considering the fact that we’ll most probably have access to horses and fast travel, it depends entirely on Sucker Punch designers to determine whether they want us to spend a long time riding around instead of fighting Mongols. While recent trends demand larger and larger maps, there is no single right answer, so this remains an unkn
As of now, Jefferson Pierce aka Black Lightning (Cress Williams) isn’t expected to appear in the Arrowverse crossover. Black Lightning won’t premiere until early 2018 , and the series will reportedly be kept separate from The CW’s other DCTV shows – at least, for the time being. Still, this year’s Arrowverse crossover is set to include all the major heroes from The CW’s live-action DCTV series, as well as their animated offerings set in the superhero universe. Now, fan art for the Arrowverse recreates a Justice League poster using the DCTV her
Developers don’t always apply the same solution to different games, and while we’re still in the PS4 generation, technology has evolved considerably since 2014. Open worlds are getting bigger and bigger, and the recent example of Assassin’s Creed Origins shows what a team with a good engine and enough resources can do (even if there have been bigger examples, like Just Cause
A 1:1 reproduction of the real map of Tsushima would probably be doable, but this doesn’t mean that Sucker Punch will go for it. As you’ll see in Part 2 of my feature, the island is a natural paradise the vast majority of which is covered by mountains and forests. This means that populating it with content is probably easier and quicker than a dense urban environment like Seattle. Yet, we still can’t answer the question of whether it would make sense gameplay-wise or
