The first shots of the invasion were fired on the relatively undefended island of Tsushima on October 5th, 1274. In the afternoon, the inhabitants of the islands were surprised by the sight of the Mongol armada sailing offshore. At around 4pm, eight ships left the formation, and about 1,000 Mongol soldiers landed on Komodahama (Komoda Beach). They were confronted by roughly 80 samurai supported by the local population and led by the local governor, Sokekuni
Sony’s Japanese AAA-level voice tracks are very, very good. We normally don’t get to enjoy them because PlayStation’s triple-A games typically aren’t set in Japan, so it wouldn’t really make sense to include the local track for the w
The future is transcending into something more digital. All around we can see its effects bleeding over into our sporting events, which will soon probably have their own major league followed by their own version of a “super bowl.” It wouldn’t be the least surprising at all if we were to see a college version of the sport to pop-up on the collegic side of the league in the near future. High schools may never see the sport enter into their halls and toss down banners over the gym walls as they hang proud next to other more traditional physical sports, but many colleges would want to invest and jump in on the quickly rising sport before they miss the lucrative money train.
Tokimune Hojo ordered the emissaries to be arrested and brought to him in Kamakura. They asked the Shikken to consider an alliance with the Mongol Empire and presented him with gifts. Yet, Tokimune had them all beheaded. Quite obviously, the first invasion had not intimidated him at
Even though SuperData’s reports confirm more of the same kind of results video game fans have come to expect in 2016, there are still a number of interesting insights to be gleaned from what the firm has found. Bolstered by sales that were stronger than Destiny ‘s initial launch period, the release of Destiny: Rise of Iron in September rocketed Bungie’s shooter to the top of the console charts over traditionally dominant fall releases like FIFA
On the mobile platform, the continued dominance of Pokemon GO is also the most unsurprising, as the title’s status of global phenomenon has not been in jeopardy despite the development team’s slow response time in updating or implementing key design features. Pokemon GO sits comfortably ahead of its compatriots on mobile, much like League of Legends does its competitors on PC – World of Warcraft is the closest to Riot’s cash cow, with the nearest genre competitor being DOTA 2 a full six ranks behind Leag
This second trailer followed up a very impressive first teaser with more incredible scoring and a better look at Kingsman’s U.S. counterpart, The Statesmen. Curiously, Colin Firth was back without any mystery. The panel brought with it more footage in the form of an Archer crossover and an unreleased showre
For now, we can only wait for further information, but I hope you enjoyed this deep dive into the history that will serve as a backdrop for Ghost of Tsushima. As you may have wondered, this is just the first part of two. The second, coming soon, will provide you with a birds-eye look at the island itself, and at the vistas and open-world setting that we can expect to enjoy in the g
This was the first of the two typhoons that have been defined as the notorious “Kamikaze” (divine wind). Yet, rather interestingly, the violence of the alleged typhoon is emphasized much more in Mongol and Korean sources than in Japanese ones. A contemporary Japanese source defines the meteorological condition as a simple “reverse wind,” while the term “Kamikaze” related to this event appears in other local sources only much later. The existence of conflicting reports could indicate that the alleged typhoon might have been more of a convenient excuse for the Mongol officers to explain the defeat at the hand of the Japanese samu
After taking Tsushima, the Mongols moved on Iki Island on October 14th and Hirado Island, Taka Island and Nokono Island between October 16th and 17th, overwhelming and crushing the Japanese defenders. The way to Japan was o
It wouldn’t be an additional cost, because the track is going to be recorded anyway for the Japanese market, and it would enrich the experience for those of us who would like to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of ancient Ja
The game is set on the island of Tsushima in the Korea Strait, right in the middle between the westernmost tip of Japan in Kyushu and the Korean peninsula. The backdrop is the first Mongol invasion of 1274, led by Genghis Khan’s grandson Kublai Khan and culminated with the Battle of Bun’ei where the term “Kamikaze” was b
