Current Events > Ghost of Tsushima. Lots of details dropped

(+) Yeah! (+)

Here's the summary:

- Its an open world game.
- The game is grounded and realistic.
- The trailer we saw last night is not part of the main story, its a side quest!
- Landscapes range from the swaying bamboo forests of the countryside, to the urban centers of ornate castles.
- There a lot of stories in the game that you may not find them all.
- There are many side characters in the game, most which have sidequests.
- Main storyline will be Jin vs. the Mongols.
- The game is a original work of fiction they are not rebuilding history stone by stone.
- Hes had to go beyond his samurai training in order to fight back against the Mongols.
- The theme of the combat is mud, blood, and steel. Expect to get dirty and muddy.
- Possibility of other weapons but theyre only showing the katana right now.
- Sucker Punch teases that Jin's combat style abandons some samurai techniques, swapping them for the "violent grace of a silent assassin".
- Jin has learned to use a grapple hook but this is not part of his samurai training. Hes had to learn new tricks to silently kill the Mongols.
- Strong focus on minimalism for the graphics, you see the things that are more pronounce.
- Movement is the environment theme, expect everything to move - blowing trees, windy fields, falling leaves.
- Everything you can see in the background you can go to such as a Pagoda and Mongol ships, you have the freedom to go where you want at your on pace.

The 'Day 9' thing in the demo interests me. I wonder what that's about.

Sounds pretty good. Nice to see there's an option for Japanese speech. Unfortunately, the combat looked too much like assassin's Creed for my taste, so I'm still on the fence about buying.
---

either this or The Last of Us 2 are my favorite games shown at E3.

I'm typically not a "purist" or whatever but I think I'm gonna run the Japanese track. It just seems like it will fit the mood better

So it's basically Assassins creed
