Toshihiro Nagoshi the charismatic and colourful character behind the Yakuza series, has spoken at length about his appreciation for the recently released PS4 exclusive, Ghost of Tsushima. Despite being set on the Japanese island of the same name, Ghost of Tsushima was developed by Bellevue-based studio Sucker Punch, and Nagoshi thinks that Westerners sometimes have a knack for pleasing Japanese audiences.
Rumours and murmurings suggest that Ghost of Tsushima 2 will be announced soon. Here is what we'd love to see in the sequel.
I would be on it. Especially if they change up the gameplay to differentiate from first game. Loved the first.
Currently enjoying Rise of Ronin.
Both have different gameplay but it amazes me how people kept comparing just because they both are samurai. Seems kinda ...... that im not gonna mention.
Bend studios making a gaas game and getting lot of negative comments abt that direction.
I hope these stay faithful to making amazing SP games..
Probably my most anticipated to be announced
I hope Jinns story continues and we get way more stealth tactics like dragging bodies away and the like.
I fully expect this game to be announced. Late 2025 release perhaps.
Either way I can't wait for its announcement at Sony's showcase.
I'm hoping for more complex interior level design for stealth gameplay and also a more complex stance system that's more than rock paper and scissor for each enemy type
I have stopped pre-ordering games since Cyberpunk 2077 fiasco...this is a game I will make an exception for...
Sucker Punch's open world epic stands head and shoulders above the most recent game that takes inspiration from it.
Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favorite games all time. Hard to live up to that. Not all games are going to be equivalent to some of the best games ever and that’s ok. It is a natural comparison though
Totally agree, as a jaded gamer well into his 30s I didn't think games could hit like Ghost it Tsushima did. I actively avoided story missions in order to pursue every single side quest purely because I didn't want it to end. I wanted to be immersed in that world for as long as it lasted.
I hate open world games. Its clutter and fatigue. Except GoT.. I completed every thing before going into next main mission. The feeling of playing the game was.... I cant explain. It was perfect
TheGamer spoke with tattoo artist Horitomo about his work, traditional Japanese tattoos, and designing the incredible tattoos in Like a Dragon.
"There’s like a notion that Westerners don’t understand things (about Japan), but that hypothesis itself is mistaken,"
Another stick in the eye to these pandering journalists caterwauling over a Western company making a game about Japan.
There was an idea mentioned in the Ghost of Tsushima Bonus material for the Collector's Edition. I'll expand on that. An Italian Director, copying a Japanese Director, made movies in Spain...about the American Old West. And they are some of the most memorable movies in the Western genre. Commonly referred to as Spaghetti Westerns and the formula was perfected by Sergio Leone.
I honestly don't think any Japanese developer would have done a better job than Sucker Punch did. They got every mark.
Can I just shout out how good the bamboo strikes feel. I think I only ever did one of them on my first attempt. Most took multiple tries. But when you nailed it and it cut through smooth man it felt so good.
Glad to see a Japanese dev speak truth to the actual haters out there who don't think other people can correctly represent other cultures.
This belief divides cultures and people and does not unite anything or anyone.
tl;dr marketing people keep saying we can't do things
Sooooooooooo stop listening to the dumbass marketing people? Having middle-aged guys as protags works out totally fine even in Japan, look at anime like Tiger & Bunny or manga like After the Rain.
