Ghost of Tsushima fictionalizes several elements of this history. For starters, Sucker Punch's Mongol army is led by the fictional Khotun Khan, and Tsushima's ruler is fictional, too - a man named Shimura. Events seen in Ghost of Tsushima's trailers indicate Shimura's battle with the Mongols goes just about as well as it did in real life, but it appears Shimura survives, and so does his nephew, protagonist Jin Sakai. Given he's the playable character, it's no surprise Jin forms the basis of Ghost of Tsushima' s largest departure from history. Rather than being a stand-in for an actual person like Kublai Khan, Jin is essentially a stand-in for 1274's kamikaze . As Sucker Punch Game Director Nate Fox told Variety , "Our hero isn’t a hurricane, he’s a man, and we actually acknowledge that change with his sword that’s engraved with storm wind desig

Notably, the horse is going considerably fast in this trailer. Generally that would not be a significant thing to note, but this riding momentum suggests that the game is going to feature a map with a considerable size, as traveling devices in games, such as horses and cars, must be modified within the game to make sure that it does not break the game in any way. Basically, the faster the horse, the bigger the potential map s

The next shots show the ghost, Jin, approaching a camp full of Mongol soldiers with stealthy tactics. The game is going to allow the player to survey areas before striking enemies, as Jin is seen on top of structures. As was already shown off during the E3 2018 demo, Jin is capable of _ Assassin’s Creed _ -like assassinations, as he jumps off of rooftops and slams his sword into his oppone

Jin tries to walk over to pick up his sword but is then shot with an arrow once more by a sniper way out in the distance. The narrator states that "some say he died," as the arrow strikes him down. The next shot contradicts this as he is seen riding a horse through a wide open field. This is where the gameplay is shown off in the trailer, as the first bit of playable action that is shown is the horse riding through the fi

Sony's upcoming Sucker Punch-developed samurai story, likely one of the PlayStation 4's swan songs, is inspired by real events, but Ghost of Tsushima guide|https://tsushimagame.com/ of Tsushima strays from history in a number of ways. Although Sucker Punch appears to have taken great care in nailing the game world's authenticity to real-life Japan, Ghost of Tsushima' s plot is, at least partially, purposely unfaith

Along with a new trailer for the upcoming PlayStation 4 title Ghost of Tsushima , PlayStation has revealed the collector's edition version of the game, which fans will undoubtedly be dying to get their hands on. Developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the studio behind the PlayStation 2's Sly Cooper trilogy and the inFamous series, Ghost of Tsushima was originally revealed in October 2017 during Sony's Paris Games Week presentation and has been on fans' collective radar ever si

There is concern about the release dates of upcoming video games shifting to account for the coronavirus crisis, especially following the recent announcement of The Last of Us Part II and Iron Man VR getting delayed with no new release date forthcoming. It's likely publisher Sony doesn't want these games to release in an environment where players won't be able to go out to get physical copies of them. It's also possible they're concerned that Naughty Dog's game, with its bleak themes and post-apocalyptic setting, might not be the best fit for the current state of the wo
