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

It will definitely be interesting to seen how Sucker Punch being a western developer impacts the feeling and atmosphere of Ghost of Tsushima as a whole, but so far what we've seen looks great.

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.

We got to sit down with Sucker Punch Productions to see Ghost of Tsushima up close. Though it was the same demo shown at the conference, we did learn important new details. The game takes place in 1274 during the Mongols’ invasions of the island of Tsushima. You play as Jin Sekai, the last living samurai on the island. Having lost everything to the Mongols, Jin now fights for the common people as he tries to stave off the invasion.

Things were surprising us all the time. But that's part of the joy of the discovery of making the game. Hopefully it's something that will translate into the game as a player, that you will discover a lot of the beauty of feudal Jap

Authenticity to the period and setting were one of Sucker Punch’s key objectives when building the game. The team traveled to Japan to study the environment and architecture of the time and took that knowledge to develop a stunning game. From the thick forests to the lush moss growing on rocks to the fields of wheat that blow in the wind, Ghost of Tsushima is a gorgeous game to behold. To add additional authenticity to the world, the demo was played with Japanese audio, an option that will be available players at launch.

If Ghost of Tsushima does release in the second half of 2020, it would be a far cry from the potential 2019 release date that many fans had hoped for at the beginning of this year. It would also make for a second PS4 exclusive delay in a short timeframe after The Last of Us 2 got the same treatment. With that said, though, game delays aren't necessarily a bad thing in the games industry - many games that were delayed over quality concerns or simply to give developers more time to execute on exciting ideas have become game of the year contend

Seeing it in action, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is more vertical and fast-paced than its predecessors. The grappling hook helps you get the advantage on your enemies by surprising them from above. The familiar stamina system is replaced by posture; the goal is to disrupt your enemy’s posture, leading to an opening for a tremendously violent, yet satisfying kill. This isn’t just another Souls -like game. From Software delivers enough changes to its various systems, as well as its setting, that it feels like an entirely new experience while still bringing the difficult experience fans are accusto

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 leaves move across the floor realistically as characters fight. It’s all an impressive sight.

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

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 a 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
