I don't understand where this is coming from, they act like they failed in that department with the first game and that it was a massive issue for them when it reality they did so well on it a lot of Japanese devs praised it.

Are they scared western journalists are going to do the same thing they did for the first game where they don't outright say it but they give off the impression there's some sort of racist undertones with a game set in Japan being made by Western developers.

They literally went to Japan so where does western journalists come from?

It's not like they tried to pass off a half tori

Yeah but Assassin's Creed Shadows received a backlash.

Well, you don't get a sea of pink sakura petals as shown in the thumbnail above.
I've literally been stood in an avenue of blossoming trees this week and, while you do get petals on the floor, it doesn't look like that. That thumbnail looks like someone spilled several cans of pink paint all over the floor.
I also took multiple photos.

Furthermore, that size and number of trees would not produce that volume of petals.

Don't believe me? Come out here. I'm literally a 5 min drive from fantastic views of Youteizan. Cherry blossom is still in full swing but will be over in the next week.

The AC Shadows fiasco has them quaking in their boots.

I'd be worried too if a bunch of fat old pron addicted right wingers went around pretending to be outrage at the "historical inaccuracy" in my game. Fake outrage causes financial harm, tho I'm sure the usual suspects will be up in arms by the release to feel outrage about a female MC.

The "we started again" quote doesn't exist on the PS Blog though...

anast15h ago

The writer doesn't have a story without that quote.

Tacoboto12h ago

And just like that N4G changed the source story to the official blog post

So, without the benefit of seeing the initial article, did the writer misrepresent or make stuff up that the above commenters reacted to believing it to be true?

How? It's most likely finished very soon if not already and just being polished.

No, I don't agree at all.

Bleh! dumb suggestions that won’t have any sway with the game being made.

Here's hoping the game quality and content is, at least, as good as (hopefully even better than) Tshusima. Sucker Punch hasn't let me down yet.

pwnmaster300012d ago

My most anticipated game this year.
First one was Phenomenal for me. Day 1

Aloymetal12d ago

''The game is the number one most pre-ordered release on Sony’s storefront, with the $80 Deluxe Edition trending better than its bog-standard $70 alternative.''
Day 1 for sure, can't wait!

anast12d ago

So much good stuff coming out from Sony.

Aloymetal12d ago

Yeah, 2025 not looking bad at all;)

I pre-ordered it as soon as it was available. I support as many PS exclusives as I can, at least ones that I will play. Paid for DS2 as well
