Another " State of Play " stream is in the books and the results are a little mixed. While Sony is getting a little better at sneaking in some unexpected news, the streams still lack the personality and shock value of a Nintendo Direct. I will admit that the fakeout with Resident Evil Resistance did get me, though that's mostly because I woke up well before I normally

Accordingly, the rumor says that Ghost of Tsushima will not be a part of the State of Play event. This event will reportedly air on November 1 and is said to be longer than prior State of Play broadcasts. It will instead focus on three games planned for the relatively near future. Death Stranding will receive a launch trailer, as it will launch on November 8. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will also be a focus, due to its November 15 release date. Then The Last of Us 2 will receive a release date trailer confirming a May 2020 lau

At any rate, there were some pretty good announcements made during this short stream. We got confirmation of a few rumors ( Resident Evil 3 , Untitled Goose Game , Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind ), a short look at Platinum's next title, and even a tease for Ghost of Tsushima . The Game Awards can't get here soon eno

We’ve been sold on the idea of Insomniac Games making a Spider-Man title since it was first revealed a few years ago but somehow after finally playing it for ourselves at E3 we left more impressed than expected. With the best feeling web-swinging ever seen in a Spidey game and combat that truly makes you feel like the Wall Crawler, it’s easy to see how this one took home so many of our awards. September can’t come soon eno

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

Fast forward about six months after the PS4 released and Sony announced during E3 2014 that The Last of Us Remastered would be hitting the console in one month. It was a move many anticipated before the PS4's launch, but one that also left a sour taste in some's mouths. Sony was now giving us the "better" version of the game instead of holding back the initial release to coincide with its next-gen launch. Was the game simply not ready for the PS4 in November, or did Sony know it could get away with charging tw

Sucker Punch and Ghost of Tsushima creative director Nate Fox walked us (and a handful of other outlets) through the same mission shown during Sony's press conference, but much more was revealed during the gameplay presentation, such as the fact that the mission shown was actually a side mission that isn't part of the core story. Here's everything we learned from the d

It's due to its now-delayed release window that Ghost of Tsushima will instead be instead focused on at the as-yet-unannounced PlayStation Meeting 2020. This kind of event could tentatively fall anywhere through 2020. 2016's PlayStation Meeting was in September and focused on the announcement and reveal of the PlayStation Pro console. A PlayStation Meeting 2020 could similarly focus on the PS5, showcasing Ghost of Tsushima as a launch title or as an example of the PS5's potent

Development of Ghost of Tsushima is apparently going smoothly at Sucker Punch, despite the delays. There's said to be a significant amount of work going into the technical side of the game. The rumor doesn't make clear whether the technical upgrades came prior to Ghost of Tsushima being made into sneak a peek here PS5 title or as a result of being shifted to be a PS5 title. Considering how impressive Infamous: Second Son looked on PS4, expect Ghost of Tsushima to impress on P

PES 2019 has a lot to prove going into this year. With the FIFA series picking up the license for the once-exclusive Champion's League , developer Konami has an uphill battle -- and is fighting tooth and nail to showcase what they can bring to the table in the world of footb

Fox also mentioned in a follow-up group Q&A that they have spent a lot of time attempting to find a way to do justice to the samurai and people who suffered during the real-life Mongol invasions of Japan in the late 13th century. However, Ghost of Tsushima , while based on a real invasion, is a fictionalized story - and the names of all the samurai in the game have had their names changed in order to honor those that died on the beaches during the Mongolian invas

Overall, Ghost of Tsushima's gameplay was every bit as impressive in great detail as it was shown during Sony's press conference. One of the things highlighted during the hands-off gameplay presentation was the physics-based engine and the realistic blood patterns. For instance, players will be able to see the exact spot they hit an enemy with their katana. And every individual blood particle has been designed to splatter as realistically as possible. Hopefully, we get to see more of that as the game continues to be refined in developm
