The Game Awards 2019 Predictions

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 patch notes|https://tsushimagame.com/ of Tsushima at all, but the overall concept implies exploration will play a tangible part in beating the g


Fans of asymmetrical games like Evolve or Dead by Daylight will be happy to see a brand new title coming from the development studio that brought us Friday the 13th: The Game . IllFonic, the studio behind the game, is bringing another classic horror franchise to life, this time choosing Predator instead of Friday the 13th as the backdrop for the g


No, not Halo 's Master Chief (although that would also be amazing). I'm talking about the demon-slaying marine simply known as the Doomguy. Before I start this brief rant, I do think if Doom's protagonist is added, they will go with "Doomguy" instead "Doomslayer," simply because it doesn't evoke the actual violent nature of the charac


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


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


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


Developed by PlatinumGames, Bayonetta 3 was initially announced at the Game Awards in 2017. There was no gameplay whatsoever. Just a very brief teaser showing Bayonetta's legs and Scarborough Fair, her set of pistols aptly names Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme. The last we heard about the game was back in September of 2018 at Bitsummit Roadshow where Hideki Kamiya and Atsushi Inaba said development was going "very, very we


This rich set of features clearly makes Ghost of Tsushima a very intriguing experience . The complex world exploration, though, could be a risk from the developers’ end. Nowadays, players are used to being guided to the destination by precise waypoints. Ghost of Tsushima’s concept could be an obstacle that might turn the game into a niche one. On the other hand, the priceless excitement of locating the destination point after a long journey could make Ghost of Tsushima another highly praised video g


The highly anticipated PlayStation exclusive Ghost of Tsushima will release in the Summer of 2020. Fans around the world have been wondering when the big-budget samurai slasher would finally get a release date, with many speculating that the game would release in the second half of 2020 . But now developer Sucker Punch has confirmed the release window for Ghost of Tsushima will be Summer 2


The highly anticipated Ghost of Tsushima has just become a lot more appealing to old school gamers thanks to the way players will explore the world, as there won’t be any certain waypoints to rely on. This will bring the game closely in line with the exploration of iconic titles like The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind , which challenged its players in similar w
