Ghost Of Tsushima Trailer Breakdown

Another huge game hopefully launching for PS4 this year is Ghost of Tsushima , although an exact release date still hasn't been officially announced. Ghost of Tsushima touts intense dueling combat as well as an in-depth customization mechanic that lets players create the titular Ghost in the image of their perfect figh


The extended trailer at The Game Awards showed additional contextual scenes for the standoff in the woods. Before the battle with Jin, the Mongol clan were disposing of dead bodies, presumably those of corpses belonging to the local village. They then proceeded to pack up the cart full of supplies, also potentially implying that the clan raided the village. As the showdown happens, the trailer cuts away right after Jin pulls out his smoke bomb. The trailer flashes back to another scene where a brutally injured Jin is seen limping across a battlefield filled with arrow ridden corpses as narration talks talks about the elusive Ghost of Tsushima . This is not to mention the arrow already sticking out of his b


Sony first lifted the veil on Ghost of Tsushima back at Paris Games Week 2017 with a short trailer that let us know the game would be taking place during the Mongol invasion of Japan. The game centers around a samurai by the name of Jin Sakai, but other details of the story and characters aren't really widely known just yet. On the gameplay front, all that Sucker Punch has opted to show us so far has been one demo at E3 2018 followed by another trailer that featured some more snippets of gameplay and a release window back at The Game Awards 2

Story has always played a key role in Sucker Punch’s history, from Sly Cooper’s journey to understand and recover his family’s history, to the various superhuman Conduits’ paths to saving or ruling over their respective cities. But what grounds these plots and makes them relatable comes down to the supporting cast, as Bentley’s gradually increasing confidence, Murray’s happy-go-lucky demeanor and Zeke Dunbar’s outgoing nature all compliment the behaviors of their respective companion, with each of them remaining dedicated to assisting their friends as best as possible in these difficult times. While traditional samurai stories can often rely more on introspection and seclusion, Sucker Punch has already begun teasing some of the key figures that will play a role in Jin’s fight , including the conflicted ally Masako and his concerned uncle Shimura. With many elements of Ghost of Tsushima’s plot yet to be revealed, there’s room for additional characters to come in and both encourage and challenge Jin on his quest, and Sucker Punch’s past with deep and relatable characters is a testament to the potential of this promise being fulfilled when the game launches on June 26 for PS4.


Sucker Punch has mentioned on several occasions traveling to Japan - and to the Tsushima Island, specifically - in an effort to make sure its depiction of the country is accurate. Research was conducted with the help of Sony's Japan Studio, as well, helping to ensure greater authenticity. Sucker Punch has even consulted real-life samurai during Ghost of Tsushima' s development, presumably to learn more about how the Japanese warriors would have fought in the 13th Century, when the game's story takes pl


All in all, we have seen very little about Ghost of Tsushima , which is why I think I have such a close eye on it this year. Compared to other major releases that are coming up in 2020 ( Cyberpunk 2077 , Final Fantasy VII Remake , DOOM Eternal ) I feel like there are many relatively unknown factors with Ghost of Tsushima . Heck, news on the game went so quiet in 2019 that many started questioning whether or not it would end up just altogether becoming a PS5 game . That obviously won't be the case, but it speaks to how silent Sony has been with this ti


Sony's upcoming Sucker Punch-developed samurai story, likely one of the PlayStation 4's swan songs, is inspired by real events, but Ghost of Tsushima strays from history in a number of ways. Although Sucker Punch appears to have taken great care in nailing the game world's authenticity to real-life Japan, Ghost of Tsushima' s plot is, at least partially, purposely unfaith


Sucker Punch has set the bar very high for themselves with their past success making Sly Cooper and Infamous games. Throughout three generations of PlayStation consoles, the developer has been a mainstay for gamers on the platform. It seems like Ghost of Tsushima is up to the challenge of raising the bar higher than ever before, as Sucker Punch looks to cap off the PlayStation 4 with perhaps it's last AAA exclus


Ghost of Tsushima weapons|https://tsushimagame.com/ of Tsushima fictionalizes several elements of this history. For starters, Sucker Punch's Mongol army is led by the fictional Khotun Khan, and Tsushima's ruler is fictional, too - a man named Shimura. Events seen in Ghost of Tsushima's trailers indicate Shimura's battle with the Mongols goes just about as well as it did in real life, but it appears Shimura survives, and so does his nephew, protagonist Jin Sakai. Given he's the playable character, it's no surprise Jin forms the basis of Ghost of Tsushima' s largest departure from history. Rather than being a stand-in for an actual person like Kublai Khan, Jin is essentially a stand-in for 1274's kamikaze . As Sucker Punch Game Director Nate Fox told Variety , "Our hero isn’t a hurricane, he’s a man, and we actually acknowledge that change with his sword that’s engraved with storm wind desig
