more hyped for this too

Yep same, it's different. I'm sure TLOU will be amazing but i expect this game to be more "fresh".

Sucker punch make great games. Can't see this being anything under 8/10

Ghost of Tsushima - Page 2 EX2dkKvXYAAsh_3

Might actually see proper gameplay this time.

by Firenze Wed May 13, 2020 12:12 am

we will for sure

definitely interested

everything i've read makes it look like a GOTG contender, didnt like Second Son from the devs though, hoping the gameplay is GOAT

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed May 13, 2020 1:24 am

The episode will be focused entirely on Ghost of Tsushima, coming to PS4 July 17. You’ll get an extended look at new gameplay footage, including exploration, combat and more. The current cut is clocking in around 18 minutes, give or take.

I'm kind of worried people are going to set expectations that they want Sekiro/Souls style combat when this won't be that.

There's more than one way to do Japanese Feudal combat or combat in general, i couldn't care less personally but i kind of expect people will shit on it when they don't get Souls style combat.

Which one of their games have you played? Razz

I also expect people to shit on it for not being Souls, because a lot of people will undoubtedly go into this game expecting it to be just that.

I wasn’t a big fan of Second Son either. It’s a decent game that doesn’t do anything particularly impressive. It wasn’t bad, but not particularly good either.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed May 13, 2020 2:00 am

RG has played all the Infamous games i think hmm

All the infamous games.

I thought second son was pretty good tbh. Not as good as infamous 1 n 2 (was hard to surpass it anyways) but the gameplay was really fun.

by Thimmy Wed May 13, 2020 2:03 am

Ah. All three of them that were set in the same universe Razz

I expect the game to be good, but in terms of user reviews, it will likely get review bombed.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed May 13, 2020 2:04 am

I'm putting Infamous Second Son mehness in comparison to 1 and 2 down to launch title stuff more than anything else.

I have much higher expectations for this and I'll believe they'll be met.

by RealGunner Wed May 13, 2020 2:06 am

I don't think anyone is expecting this to be like Sekiro or any souls game. It's a Sony game and a sucker punch game. They will not make it punishing as they target every fanbase. If anything there will be an easy mode in it for sure. Expecting it to be completely different focused a lot on free roam and set pieces.

It's their first game in 6 years so i really think they are going to go all out on this one.

I am not sure if suckerpunch wanted to make another infamous game. Could be that Sony asked them to make one for PS4 and they came up with that. It was quite short iirc.

I doubt it will get review bombed, i don't think people will be emotionally invested enough for that to happen.

Will there be complaints when the gameplay is revealed and it's not what they want? Yeah but i don't think that will linger long enough to impact launch.

by Thimmy Wed May 13, 2020 2:11 am

Well, in every comment section I’ve read about the game, there’s been people expecting it to be Souls combat, but with a deeper story. Maybe those people are just a minority, but that seems to be a common expectation, for whatever reason.

You underestimate the Souls fanbase on the internet sir, they're very loud and with Sekiro and Nioh being set in Feudal Japan also I'm pretty sure people will have certain expectations.

Of course most well balanced and smart people won't expect that but those people will be drowned out by the people who will want what i described.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed May 13, 2020 2:20 am

Come to think of it though I'm not sure what combat i expect.

Initially it would have been an Assassin's Creed style combat( before they turned into Witcher rip offs) but it's actually good.

But that combat is way too animation driven with little control given to the player so i don't really expect that either.

Exactly, and this is why it wouldn’t surprise me if it gets review bombed for not being what some people expect it to be. I don’t know why some people would expect Sucker Punch to do Souls- style combat all of a sudden, but I suppose this type of setting has become synonymous with that in recent time. Then again, there are few games with swordplay in them these days, that aren’t inspired by that type of combat.

There's info on gameplay.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed May 13, 2020 12:55 pm

I know M99, I've read it before but no amount of words can ever accurately portray a games combat and how it feels imo.

I need to at least see it for long stretches, which it sounds like we're getting so all good.

by rincon Wed May 13, 2020 1:29 pm

I'm with Thimmy here. I actually thought for a long time that this was the same game as Sekiro. Then thought it was basically "another Sekiro".

This because I hadn't looked into the game, simply watched a trailer some time ago. I can see people having the same misconception.

I've looked more into it now and it seems great. Also liked Infamous a lot. I won't buy this at release but will probably get it once the price dropped.

the aesthetic appeals tro me greatly, don't think the visuals are mind blowing, some of the combat animations look clunky

looks like a day 1 for me but I see it being another Horizon, good game, memorable for its year but not a GOTG contender

still, that's pretty kneejerk from me, if the story is great that could certainly elevate it
