From front to back, the gameplay trailer is an intensely frantic good time, infused with a sick sense of humor and lighthearted tone. A variety of weapons, including projectiles, vehicles, and special powers, are used to rapidly blast through enemies, sometimes sending them hurling through the air. Whatever players thought of the first Rage , even if it never crossed their radar, Rage 2 's gameplay trailer is not one to be mis

In fact, Sony's complete lack of fear regarding game delays are probably why the company has a console with what many would agree is one of the strongest exclusive libraries in the history of consoles. While it's disappointing to find out consumers will need to wait longer for exciting games, it's better that than getting them half-finished - and in the case of Ghost of Tsushima , there wasn't even a release date announced, so it's not like a late 2020 release is a change in public pl

The private demo allowed Sucker Punch to highlight many of the little details that make the game feel real. Mud splashes about when stepped through, wheat parts as you race by and Tsushimalegend.com leaves move across the floor realistically as characters fight. It’s all an impressive sight.

To figure that out, we only need to look to the recent past. When the PS4 launched in 2013 , Sony made a pretty big push to get original titles on it. This was mixed in with a helping of some cross-generation releases (such as Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Call of Duty: Ghosts ) that gave users a clear reason to ditch their PS3's for Sony’s hot new box. Why spend $60 on a version of the game that looked and ran worse than its PS4 counterp

Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Part 2 Gameplay Reveal Trailer showcased the studio's talent for uncomfortably realistic voice acting, natural-looking character models, and dramatic storytelling. But that was to be expected, at least for anyone familiar with Naughty Dog's body of work. What really made the trailer special is its perfect synchrony with the original game's weighty emotional core. The early cinematic gently and beautifully confirms Ellie's sexuality, a stark reminder of the time passed since we last saw El

PlayStation’s focus on a handful of games for E3 2018 was well-known weeks before they held their press conference. With rumors swirling about a potential PlayStation 5 on the horizon, it was apparent that the platform holder would focus on its current crop of announced titles. The Last of Us Part II and Spider-Man are proven winners, and Death Standing continued to intrigue. Ghost of Tsushima, however, was perhaps the most interesting title. A far cry from Sucker Punch’s previous work, Ghost of Tsushima made its presence known at the show and stunned in its debut.

Interestingly, though, Sony launched The Last of Us on PS3 earlier that same year. While the specifics of the PS4's launch date were unknown at the time, many were preparing to say goodbye to their previous console and welcome a new one into their homes. Then came The Last of Us to the tune of rave reviews and incredible sales. Clearly people couldn't wait for the PS4 and had to game right

The game is developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the makers of the Infamous series. The game will be an exclusive title for the PlayStation 4. Ghost of Tsushima is an action adventure open world game played from a third person perspective. Set on the island of Tsushima in feudal Japan, players take on the role of Jin, a samurai who must deal with the invasion of the Mongols. Gameplay in Ghost of Tsushima focuses on stealth, exploration, and intense samurai sword batt

That seems almost certainly impossible now, though, according to a statement from Kotaku 's Jason Schreier on Twitter . The industry veteran followed up a report that spotlighted the likelihood of The Last of Us 2 getting delayed until Spring 2020 by stating that, despite not having a release date yet, it would likely mean that Ghost of Tsushima gets delayed as well. According to him, Ghost of Tsushima was originally planned for the first half of 2020, but it likely won't launch until the second half of the year now that The Last of Us 2 is being delayed until that spring. He also stated that it's probably unlikely to expect the game to be changed into a PS5 tit

What fans do know about Ghost of Tsushima is exciting, though. The gameplay that's been demonstrated looks compelling, a mixture between tense stealth and gorgeous combat, and it's made even more interesting by the fact that Sucker Punch is working with real samurai to help develop Ghost of Tsushima and make it as authentic as possible. According to Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida, Ghost of Tsushima's graphics are also so good that even he was impressed when he got to check out the game this summer - a comment that not only got consumers excited, but led to speculation that the game might actually release sometime in 2

Ghost of Tsushima does share some DNA with Sly Cooper’s stealth sections. Jin can attack enemies outright or stalk them from the shadows and stealthily take them out. While this is out of character for a samurai, Sucker Punch did confirm that the narrative motivates the use of stealth. All of Jin’s samurai allies were killed fighting like samurai. To beat back the Mongols, Jin needs to vary up his tactics, even if it goes against everything he knows.
