-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 [[https://Tsushimagame.com/|ghost of Tsushima patch notes|https://Tsushimagame.Com/]] 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
+Sons of the Forest was unveiled, appearing as a direct sequel to the hit survival game known as The Forest . It looks frightening as ever, with the game's main character branding a tattoo stating "Fight Demons," by which he may be the son of Eric, the original hero in the first game. The premise of The Forest comprised of a lone character stranded in a remote forest after his plane crashed, as players attempt to survive a harsh climate and mutated cannibals living in the area. Judging from the quality, fear-factor, and unique gameplay setting of the original game, fans of horror should have much to look forward to in Sons of the Fore
-We here at DualShockers have been pondering what big surprises the show have in store, as well as who the big winner will be at this year's Game Awards. Here are five predictions we are pretty certain will happen during the show's durat
+On top of that, some more details on Ghost of Tsushima have emerged. The story will unfold in conjunction with world exploration, expressed in game design decisions like the grappling hook, which will allow for scouting around enemy camps undetected. Players will also encounter multiple side characters on their way. These NPCs will potentially serve as allies, but their attitude towards the protagonist will be based on the decisions players make. Sucker Punch has also confirmed that iconic works by Akira Kurosawa served as the source of inspiration for the g
-In the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine (via Twisted Voxel ), new information about Ghost of Tsushima has been shared. The most intriguing bit touches upon in-game world exploration. Sucker Punch has designed the Island of Tsushima so that players will need to navigate the environments without the help of waypoints. It’s not quite clear if there won't be any travel assistance in Ghost of Tsushima at all, but the overall concept implies exploration will play a tangible part in beating the g
+The much anticipated Final Fantasy 7 revealed a new trailer at The Game Awards . The game looks beautiful, as expected, and appears true to the original game's story and characters, with the journey of Cloud Strife fully fleshed out with vivid visuals. It also provides insight into a potentially deeper story, more so than the original. The remake of Midgar, the game's world setting, will do more than just recycle the original, as it will include new bosses and changes to old bos
-Hopefully, IllFonic learned from the shaky launch of its previous release and will be ready to address bugs and matchmaking issues when Predator: Hunting Grounds releases . The unfortunate decline of Friday the 13th: The Game might have taught the studio how to handle a launch of such a high profile title, and narrowing the scope down to a PS4 exclusive should make keeping on top of updates and patches more manageable for the small development t
+A steady flow of information is building up the way towards the June release of Ghost of Tsushima . Just recently, the contents of the Collector's Edition have been revealed, and it's going to be juicy. There's a replica of the face mask the main hero, Jin Sakai, wears in the game, a cloth map, and a war banner. Considering the global situation, physical editions might be delayed, but right now, there's no evidence the game will be postponed to a later date. However, players have already expressed their fears about that potential outcome online, so it's on their minds moving closer to rele
-Ghost 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
+While the PS4 has seen its fair share of sequels or reboots of older properties from PlayStation's past ( God of War , Infamous: Second Son, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End ), Sony has also brought about entirely new worlds and characters for us to fall in love with for the first time. In a time where many games that are released annually have started to feel a bit derivative and by-the-numbers, PS4 exclusives like Horizon Zero Dawn , Death Stranding , and Until Dawn have been some of the most captivating and enjoyable games for me on a personal level these past few years just because of how fresh they f
-Sony’s first party studios are no strangers to releasing iterations of blockbuster franchises in the months leading up to a new PlaySation launch. In fact, Sony’s Santa Monica Studio released its hit title _ God of War 2 _ on PS2 in March 2007 just months after the PS3 launched in November 2006. Also, when the PS4 was set to launch in November 2013, Naughty Dog had just released _ The Last of Us _ in June of that same y
+Nobody knows when The Last of Us Part II will finally release, and if they do, they're not telling. The next largest Sony first-party title after Naughty Dog's sequel is likely Ghost of Tsushima ,  [[https://tsushimagame.com/|tsushimagame.com]] the new IP from developer Sucker Punch, a studio best known for working on games like Sly Cooper and Infamous . The Japan-set fallen samurai revenge thriller looks to be shaping up to be one of 2020's breakout hits, but now fans are concerned that Sony might delay the highly-anticipated title from its previously-scheduled June 26 street date, to the point where fears about the game's release status have caused Ghost to become a trending topic on Twitter, as recently reported by Game Ra
-The safe assumption is that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the winner. Nintendo's fighter is one of the Switch's best-selling video games and keeps its large community interested with genuinely great DLC fighters. It is the big game on the list. But I think it is a bit far off for people to consider it for 2019's Game of the Y
+I'm also just stoked for Ghost of Tsushima though because, hey, I love action games. If you know my gaming tastes whatsoever, you're probably aware that I have become obsessed with the Souls games in recent years. Other standout favorites of mine from recent memory include Judgment , Assassin's Creed Odyssey , and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice . While I'm unsure of how much DNA Ghost of Tsushima will share with games like this, based on the extended gameplay demo we saw in 2018, I got some major Batman: Arkham , Assassin's Creed , and Sekiro vibes. If Ghost of Tsushima's final version is anything close to games like these, I'm all
-Ghost of Tsushima is based on the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274. In the real invasion, the Mongols' path took them first to Tsushima Island, located between Korea and the Japanese mainland. Under the command of Kublai Khan, Genghis Khan's grandson, the Mongols fought against a small army of Japanese warriors on Tsushima , led by the Sō daimyo family. The local warriors - overwhelmed by the Mongols' superior numbers and more advanced, gunpowder-fueled weaponry - were defeated, and the population was massacred. After leaving Tsushima, the Mongols continued their raids on Japan's nearby islands, but the invaders were eventually repelled when a typhoon destroyed much of their fleet in Kyushu, Japan. This storm later became known as the kamikaze ("divine wind") of 1274 (via Britannic
+While many video game enthusiasts will likely have their hands full for the immediate future with titles like Resident Evil 3 , Doom Eternal , and Final Fantasy VII Remake , it's easy to look at games on the horizon and wonder when they'll see the light of day. There are even persistent rumors that next-gen consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X might not hit their 2020 launch windows, or that, if they do, they will be in exceedingly short sup
-The Yakuza series has slowly been releasing its entire catalogue onto the PS4, starting with Yakuza Kawami 1 and 2 and eventually releasing remasters of every other game that didn't originally release on the system. However, the future of the series isn't completely in the past as Yakuza 7 is set to release sometime this y

-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
-Longer development cycles are the reality of the modern gaming industry. Unless certain solutions can be implemented efficiently in the next generation of gaming hardware, like streaming and SSD storage (which the PS5 and next Xbox are in fact using), then higher capacity tech will only bring longer development cycles. This was the case with PS4 proje
