Digital Foundry writes, "What did you do over the Christmas break? Rich revisited Ghost of Tsushima on PlayStation 5, and dug a little deeper into its 60fps upgrade, how it compares to PS4 Pro, and spent some time playing the impressive Legends DLC."
Assassin's Creed Shadows' take on Japan might just beat Sucker Punch, but it's closer than you'd think.
Ok… so which game got the Japanese pissed off enough to complain about it in the diet (Japanese parliament)?
ooh i know i know. The one that doesn't have Lead developers honored as permanent tourism ambassadors of a real island used in game
Ghost of Tsushima was the first PlayStation first-party title to sell over 1 million copies in Japan, as per former executive Shuhei Yoshida.
It was a great game.
All my Japanese friends loved it.
I remember I would visit my friend who owned a bar and we will talk about the game and sometimes other Japanese dude will join in. Pretty dope
That’s great and a little hilarious how when it was revealed western journalists tried to give off the impression that it came off racist with it being made by non Japanese developers.
I hope western culture knocks this sh*t off. F*cking Parasites Eve took place in New York, does that make Square a bunch of racists?
Reminds me of Resident Evil
RE4 - Leon killing infected Spanaids...in Spain
Fine
RE5 - Chris killing infected Africans...in Africa
WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** YOU RACIST PRICKS. HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
-Foxtrot
RE5 case it’s not that long ago when foreigners were killing local Africans. Leopold 2, killed millions Africans. So that’s a touchy historical topic. We don’t have any story driven games where you playing as Nazi.
Somehow the same western journalists said nothing of AC shadows, when some Japanese were so offended they discussed it with their prime minister in the diet (Japanese parliament).
I've never actually thought of this...
They literally got really snarky with Ghost of Tsushima since it's announcement yet with AC Shadows they said absolutely nothing.
Double standards. Was it because it was Ubisoft or what?
how the f can you say this after literally everyone complains about AC? So you wanna say you checked which outlets did it for ghost "supposedly" and cross referenced them to the AC reviews? very believable
Don’t bother with obscured his last 2 brain cells died when he realized ALL NEW XBOX “EXCLUSIVES “ ARE COMING TO PLAYSTATION
It’s so bad he wrote the answer to his IQ leve as a new account, instead of writing iq 6 yeah he wrote YQIA6🤣.
NOW BACK TO THE TOPIC
Everyone knows that Japan lost their relevancy as the source of video games decades ago so it’s no surprise to anyone with 2 brain cells that this would happen now I would like to see any Microsoft exclusive have the courage to say how many units halo sold in Japan or better jet the number of consoles sold in its totality 🤷🏿
?
It's a AAA videogame. Western journalists only like and care about these games. It's Yotei that's lroving controversial, for stupid reasons - but it's journalists who are trying to talk that game up.

The Watazumi Shrine, which has ties to Ghost of Tsushima, has banned all tourists from its sacred grounds following a serious incident.
It was many incidents and defacing that lead to this, a lot of racism(slurs, notes, graffiti, etc.) and disrespect(like littering, dancing in inappropriate places.) Only see reports of incidents involving Eastern Asians.
Can you explain to me as best you can, what type of incidents and why they would deface it? And who would do it usually and why? Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I know nothing about this or the reasoning
My mind always goes straight to us Yankees, then I'm reminded of how equally full of shite the rest of the world is. Seems most of Japans problems with tourists have been either Chinese or Koreans. Don't talk to me about racism if you can't acknowledge it happens well outside the US.
It’s true. I lived in Japan for many years and know several Japanese and they always say the same thing.
It’s the Chinese and Koreans that give them the most problems. I’m sure Americans have there share also of being annoying but for some reason, Koreans, chineses and Japanese can never get along. Probably due to history.
It isn’t hard to understand why Koreans and Chinese have issues with the Japanese,
The Japanese basically made some Nazis go: “woah! This is a bit much!”
The Japanese made those responsible Deities in a shrine, refused to acknowledge and properly apologise and proceeded to make themselves look like the victims…
Imagine if the Germans did this, imagine if German made hitller a saint
To be honest....kinda understandable why the koreans and chinese share no love for japan but my mind then asks...why you visiting?
Been here 15+ years in the last two decades and when I complain to taxi drivers about the foreigners and they always look at my white-ass face like I'm kidding, but soon realize I'm serious. Then we engage in a discussion on how foreigners certainly bring money here and increase the softpower of Japan, but also have the potential to ruin a lot of things. It's always a bit funny, but those of us who live here with a local family stuff like this is unforgivable.
It is very well known it's typically five places (US, China, Korea, Australia, England) where the idiots come from, but it is hard to blame the specific nationalities themselves because statistically they have the largest portion of tourists here.
Huh? Chinese tourst are notorious. Not sure where you get the yank stuff from. Americans are known to be loud but are generous. I don't remmeber any incident of any American wirting on things or shitting at special places.
So excited to play this game on my PS5. Glad I waited...looks like a great one to get lost in...
Such a beautiful game.
Im going to give it another shot on PS5 for sure to compare against the PS4 Pro, but mostly for the eye goodies.
The 60 fps looks nice and smooth, but imo 60 fps sometimes take away the almost cinematic feeling of the game in at lower FPS
30 fps feels like slow motion when compared to 60 fps.
It took DF long for this.I hope we get Horizon zero dawn 60 fps patch on ps5 as well and not the remaster.
