Ghost of Tsushima PC Won’t Require PSN Account for Single-Player

Sucker Punch Productions tweets: "Thank you for your feedback.

Just so you are aware, A PSN account is required for Legends online multiplayer mode and to use PlayStation overlay. It is not required to play the singleplayer game."

Pedantic91382d ago

Makes sense, not like an offline single player session needed to be monitored for offensive material or cheat devices.

purple101382d ago

It has a multiplayer mode though, which does require a psn, just the single player bit doesn't

Barlos381d ago

I should think not, you'd be playing it on PC, not PlayStation.

purple101381d ago

I read they are going to force psn to pc players, if they decide tonplay the multiplayer
But hey they just backtracked on Helldivers, so who knows now

FinalFantasyFanatic381d ago

I would only use it for Trophy/Achievement crossover if there was sign in for single player, but overall all, I don't really need/want it.

Hopefully this means they are going to stop laying off staff members then

BlackTar187287d ago

Why don't you just stay in the SOnic and Mario threads? Your comment history makes it obvious you hate Sony.

Kneetos287d ago (Edited 287d ago )

Well maybe if they didn't pull stuff like this I wouldn't hate them, stop trying to award them a free pass

The playstation fans here fly off the handle whenever Nintendo releases a game for $60 (for some reason), yet the so-called "video game industry leader" lays off hundreds of staff and we are just ment to shut up and consume apparently

Kneetos285d ago

You clearly haven't read my comment history, the only times I've complained about Sony is when they have been indulging in mass layoffs, which, how are you guys ok with that?

You do realise that all these amazing, world class video games Sony are making, and in this thread, promising to keep making come off the hard work of the very staff that Sony are fire-ing, why are you trying to defend them?

Lmao at least you admit you are who your comments show you are.

BlackTar187285d ago

Lol I’m not defending anyone I’m pointing out you’re a shill

We're all shills, that's why we're here, you're no better

Oh wow, I totally forgot about Bungie's 'Marathon' and did actually confuse it with 'Concord' over the last several months thinking to myself "Wow that game looked so promising when it was announced and now it turned into this."

Man, just had to re-watch that trailer again now of 'Marathon'. Looks so good & interesting in its art style.

However, I am getting a little bit nervous about the "in order to consistently and continuously release hit titles.”

I mean no doubt about it - I wish the PS Studios to do exactly this.

But I also just wish they keep their cool.

Don't they rush things, don't they crunch ppl.

I really wish for the PS Studios to have a great working atmosphere and that Hermen Hulst knows better than Ryan about not putting studios under pressure.

S2Killinit287d ago

Watch concord blow it up. Most of the hate for that game is by people that didn’t play the Beta.

FinalFantasyFanatic287d ago

Nah, it's dead in the water, I can't see how that game can succeed without major changes to the gameplay, and even then, those terrible/forgettable character designs are going to hold them back.

I'm predicting a flop at best.

TheNamelessOne287d ago

It had an open beta and nobody wanted to play it. What makes you think they'll now pay $40 for it?

S2Killinit287d ago

Actually, those that played it had a positive feedback, but then the negative press caught up. I wonder if they will be able to tank it, or if it can endure the initial pre-emptive bad press and come out serving crow for dinner.

PapaBop287d ago

I was excited to get my hands on it after it's first reveal, played in the betas.. there is certainly a lot of positives for the game but there is also a lot of negatives. The game isn't ready for release, not by a long shot. There is some great ideas there but just doesn't come together. None of the modes in the beta really pieces all the strings together in say the same way OW did with their limited but focused game modes. Then stupid things like having the character's pronouns on every character screen is akin to slapping jam on your testicles and dangling them to the anti-woke mob.

If they can't even get high numbers for an open beta, how are they going to get people to pay £40 for it? I actually enjoyed it enough that I'd buy it if it was going to take off but there is no point as it's almost certain to be featured in the ps plus monthly games before the year's end.

Elda287d ago

It'll be a flop. Most PS5 owners are not paying $40 to play Concord.

Wasn’t that the plan before?

Lightning77287d ago (Edited 287d ago )

It is. They're factoring gaas titles which is why things are being slowed down the past year or so. Sony has never done gaas before from a first party standpoint.

We all know if they never went gaas it would be buissness as usual from most if not all their first party right now.

Have you ever seen God of War, Horizon, Death Stranding, or FF7 go from 16:9 on PS to 32:9 on PC? Its like a totally new experience! 120FPS helps too.

just_looken328d ago

yet be it on console or pc aloy will never be in the center of the screen that always got to me.

Oh and the framerate drops on ps5 never played H2 on pc yet.

But yeah you can not beat pc for the xess/fsr on any game with any card and that ultra wide when a game support's it.

I have been enjoying some days gone native 4k maxed out at 120fps locked.

Eonjay328d ago

Nixxes is really off the charts with their PC support. Honestly Sony made a really good choice by purchasing them.

Fishy Fingers329d ago (Edited 329d ago )

"Major" exaggeration but sounds fancier than "improved upscaling over FSR3"

The actual interesting thing with FSR3.1 is theyve decoupled the frame gen so you can use it with a better upscaler, DLSS (useful if you dont have a 40 series).

Tacoboto329d ago

I'd say it is pretty major though. Five Nixxes titles in one day, their entire PS5-PC portfolio including their earliest port Spider-Man Remastered.

It's rare seeing a unified approach like this covering years of titles. Nixxes must have an incredibly thorough and consistent tech stack to pull this off

Fishy Fingers329d ago (Edited 329d ago )

Agree. Impressive support.

Although im sure you actually understood what I was saying. Its an decent incrimental update to AMDs upscaling software which is arguably the worst of the big 3 solutions. Native, these games still look better, as they do with DLSS.

Tacoboto329d ago

Oh yeah I upvoted you too, totally understand what you're saying (and I know my framing of "major" is different than the article's)

just_looken328d ago

It shows what a real port studio is unlike iron galaxy

I agree its rare but i also see it as a sad situation with the millions/billions made we should have seen this with many many other games in mass updates. But sadly only a few games are using 40 series tech then fs3 can be used on any game but the big features are per game dependent its like come on now.

Atleast when you see nixxes you know your getting a quality port.

While they keep releasing Remasters on PlayStation at a Price... It's FREE on PC
