Ghost of Tsushima does share some DNA with Sly Cooper’s stealth sections. Jin can attack enemies outright or stalk them from the shadows and stealthily take them out. While this is out of character for a samurai, Sucker Punch did confirm that the narrative motivates the use of stealth. All of Jin’s samurai allies were killed fighting like samurai. To beat back the Mongols, Jin needs to vary up his tactics, even if it goes against everything he knows.
2010’s post-apocalyptic first person shooter Rage saw mixed reception at its release, which makes the forthcoming follow-up’s considerable presence and surrounding buzz that much more impressive. The near-universally positive response to Rage 2 ‘s wild trailer is a testament to the developers’ passion for the project, a duo made up by id Software and Avalanche Studios. Predictably, the game will be an open world, first-person run-and-gun affair. Nonetheless, the trailer couldn’t have done a better job making Rage 2 look ridiculously
Shortly after rumors began to circulate online, The Last of Us 2 director Neil Druckmann came forth and announced the delay. Considering its February 21 release date was just announced last month, this may have left a bad taste in some mouths, but Druckmann promises that it will be worth the wait and explains that the team just needed more time to ensure that it hit “Naughty Dog Quality.” The Last of Us 2 will now release on May 29, 2020, which is just a small three month w
We got to sit down with Sucker Punch Productions to see Ghost of Tsushima up close. Though it was the same demo shown at the conference, we did learn important new details. The game takes place in 1274 during the Mongols’ invasions of the island of Tsushima. You play as Jin Sekai, the last living samurai on the island. Having lost everything to the Mongols, Jin now fights for the common people as he tries to stave off the invasion.
Like with some other games on the list, Beyond Good and Evil 2 had a much better showing behind closed doors. The demo we saw offered a vision and an ambition that mixed the freedom of exploration of No Man’s Sky with the potential for deep RPG mechanics and Tsushimalegend.Com storytelling. The former is still being worked on, but the ability to travel between planets and reach massive open world cities was easily one of the more impressive things we saw during E3 2018. If Ubisoft can pull it off, Beyond Good and Evil 2 will make fans forget that this isn’t really the sequel (or prequel in this case) that they were looking
From front to back, the gameplay trailer is an intensely frantic good time, infused with a sick sense of humor and lighthearted tone. A variety of weapons, including projectiles, vehicles, and special powers, are used to rapidly blast through enemies, sometimes sending them hurling through the air. Whatever players thought of the first Rage , even if it never crossed their radar, Rage 2 ‘s gameplay trailer is not one to be mis
There’s no doubt that Sucker Punch Productions is a talented developer having previously delivered two stellar franchises. To see them do something so different and pull it off as well as they have, however, is masterful. Beautiful and deadly, Ghost of Tsushima is shaping up to be a real showcase for the PS4 and the studio. We still have a ways off before the game finally launches, but we’re excited to see what else Ghost of Tsushima has in store for us.
The triumphant return of every character from the series, plus the induction of Splatoon ‘s Inklings and Metroid ‘s Ridley, made for a truly epic display. Character models, environments, and animations look top-notch on the new platform. Most importantly, the trailer ensured that Super Smash Bros . Ultimate will be much more than a port of Smash Bros Wii U , confirming the addition of new characters, new stages, and significant game design twe
Coming off the success and reinvention of the franchise that was Assassin’s Creed Origins , it’s easy to see the potential in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey . Set in ancient Greece, Odyssey has the same DNA as Origins but mixes in a more focused RPG system, new twists to combat, and more for players to do moment-to-moment. Much like the transition from AC 1 to AC 2 , Odyssey feels like a refinement of the strong platform of Origins , with some added variety to boot. Massive battles and ship conflicts are just the tip of the iceb
At the very end of Bethesda’s E3 press conference last year, Todd Howard wrapped up the presentation with two brief teases for the developer’s next pair of open world RPGs. The first was a brand-new IP set in space known as Starfield, which Howard has since confirmed during a PAX East panel is still very early in development and will not appear during the studio’s briefing this year.
One of the most shocking announcements in gaming news last year came in mid-November, when Sony dropped the bombshell that they would not be attending the following year’s E3 in any capacity. With no press conference or space-consuming booth on the floor, PS4 owners will have to continue waiting for updates on Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part II, Concrete Genie and the rest of Sony’s first-party lineup.
