Ghost of Tsushima [OT] Wake the Duck Up, Samurai!

[SolitarySoldier]

This looks like a PS5 game when it comes to loading times. It's astonishing how fast it is given how big and detailed the world is. This is weird because Days Gone is also a first-party title but it seems broken in comparison (also in terms of frame rate and pop in). It also shows that other open-world games like RDR2 and TW3 have looong load times, despite the former taking 100 gigs of space.

The loading times are so fast that its hard to fully read the text that appears in between.

Cool little detail I captured btw, Jin removes the helmet of an enemy to reveal his neck before assassinating.

This screenshot looks like a piece of art tho.

Finished.....

Whattaaa game !!! Solid 9/10 for me.

 

[SolitarySoldier]

If there's going to be a sequel to this game, I want it more than any other game's expected sequel.

I said what I said.

In a surprising twist announcement that pretty much no one saw ..

Sucker Punch is creating a free co-op mode for Tsushima releasing later in the year.

We designed Legends to be an exclusively cooperative gameplay experience. You’ll be able to partner up with friends or via online matchmaking and play Legends in groups of 2-4 players. Each player can choose from one of four different character classes: the Samurai, Hunter, Ronin, or Assassin. Each class has unique advantages and abilities that we’ll reveal in the future.

With two players in Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, you’ll be able to play a series of co-op Story missions that escalate in difficulty, building on the foundation of combat from the single-player campaign but with new magical twists that often require careful synchronization with your partner.

If you can best the Story and Survival missions, you may be confident enough to take on the four-player Raid that will arrive shortly after the launch of Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, sending you and your partners to an entirely new realm to challenge a brutal, terrifying enemy.

There's a 4 player raid? WTF

 

[iampasha]

Good stuff right here

There's a 4 player raid? WTF

I'm more interested in the 2 player 'story' missions they're talking about.

I'm guessing they will be with groups of 2 of your allies in the game and not Jin himself (Jin is a Ghost afterall).

Ghost of Tsushima multiplayer and new game plus arrive Oct. 16


PS4 game’s 1.1 update adds a whole lot more

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, the previously announced cooperative multiplayer mode for up to four players, is coming to Ghost of Tsushima on Oct. 16 with the PlayStation 4 game’s 1.1 update. The free update will also include a host of new additions and improvements for the single-player portion of the game, namely a new game plus mode.

As seen in the trailer above, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends will include two-player story missions and four-player survival missions. Developer Sucker Punch Productions teases a multiplayer raid that will arrive in the weeks following launch. That raid, the developer says, will be “an epic three-part adventure that will require excellent teamwork and communication to overcome.” Players will encounter a new character in Ghost of Tsushima when the update arrives: Gyozen, a storyteller that grants access to the Legends multiplayer lobby.

More details about Ghost of Tsushima: Legends gameplay and the multiplayer mode’s photo mode options are available at the PlayStation Blog.

On the single-player side, Sucker Punch revealed what players can expect in new game plus mode: a new horse, new “extremely powerful” charms, and a new merchant that will give players new game plus-exclusive dyes and vanity items in exchange for collecting a new strain of flower.

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends’ co-op tale concludes in this new raid


Uncover the Tale of Iyo



The Ghost of Tsushima: Legends story is coming to a close with a new end game raid that takes place entirely in Iyo’s realm. The Tale of Iyo is a three-chapter raid that will requite four players who are geared up and ready to coordinate.

The Tale of Iyo will not support matchmaking, so players will need to find their group outside of the game, through online meetings or real life friends. Once four players have assembled, Sucker Punch advises that you have your gear at KI level 100 “at an absolute minimum before attempting to take on this challenge.”

This raid rolls out with a new set of weekly challenges. At 8 a.m. PDT on Fridays, there will be two-player Story missions and four-player Survival missions with weekly modifiers. These missions will reward gear — which is a great way to get ready for the Tale of Iyo raid — and leaderboards, which offer bragging rights. These missions can also get tougher if players complete bonus objectives, and they reward better items in return.

The Tale of Iyo launches on Oct. 30. The exact time of the raid’s launch has yet to be announced.

Ghost of Tsushima is a bigger critical and commercial success than Sony's internal projections as per Jim Ryan.

No official numbers given but as-per unofficial player stat tracking, it was at 5.5m players as of this month.

But let's talk about Ghost of Tsushima, which has been a critical delight and certainly a commercial delight to an extent that we didn't think it would be. That speaks volumes to the work that Sucker Punch has done to build on their previous canon of work.

Fantastic work Sucker Punch.

Sony attributes much of its success over the last console generation to the popularity of its exclusive game franchises, including stalwarts like God of War (more than 51 million copies sold) and newcomers like Ghost of Tsushima, with more than five million copies sold since its debut in July.

Pretty sure this figure is destined to surprise us even more once the PS5 launches. I have a few friends who postponed their purchase of this game just so they could play it on the PS5.
