Sony had prepared a new chapter of State of Play to comment on news and the first in-depth details of Ghost of Tsushima , a spectacular open-world game set in samurai that promises to bring a lot of action that is reminiscent of something like merging Red Dead Redemption with the mythical Tenchu.
The video with 18 minutes of gameplay has left us many details commented by the developers themselves, so with the idea that you do not miss anything, we have compiled the most interesting ones so that you can know the most striking points that we will find in the game. The following points are related to the open world environment that the game offers us, the Samurai and Ghost game modes and the customization possibilities available.
- When you select a point of interest or target on the map, it will be the winds that guide you through the terrain rather than interactive visual cues. When you feel lost, ask for a gust of wind so that the breeze guides you.
- Unidentified locations will have to be discovered. A plume of smoke on the horizon usually indicates that someone is in trouble.
- If you explore well, birds will appear to guide you to find hidden secrets .
- You can call your horse to go faster to a specific point. You only have to whistle, and it will appear immediately.
- The game looks amazing, and the landscape has a life of its own with the constantly moving vegetation.
- You will be able to collect resources at the same time that you ride quickly. You will not have to continually get off your horse to collect bamboo or other items.
- Foxes will guide you to hidden sanctuaries.
- And you must honor those shrines for new skills.
- Don’t forget to thank the animal for its work.
- The Mongols will be everywhere, so we will have to put our warrior skills to work to end them.
- In the battles we will have to dodge and deflect the attacks of the rivals to deliver crucial blows with our katana.
- You can also pay your respects to enemies killed in combat.
- But if you prefer, you can put the sword aside and play as the Ghost. In this mode you must act silently and use distraction to destroy your enemies without attracting attention.
- If the thing gets ugly, a smoke bomb will serve to stun you or run away.
- The hook will serve to reach high areas, and also to swing us to another area further away.
- Our character will improve and modify his clothing with new samurai suits that are increasingly complete and resistant. They are not a simple aesthetic complement, they also include mechanical advantages to the game.
- The omamori talismans will give us advantages in combat, and as we collect them, we can modify the evolution of our character towards more Samurai or more Ghost, as we decide.
- The dye flowers will be the element that will allow you to customize the color of the armor.
- There will be no lack of photo mode with which to capture snapshots of the game, and you can even add movement effects with leaves, fireflies and dragonflies, and even background music.
- Lovers of the original versions with subtitles are in luck. Ghost of Tsushima can be played with audio in Japanese for full immersion in the game’s dialogue.
- Another aspect that maintains the essence of the samurai environment is the so-called Samurai Cinema mode, which will apply grain to the image and a contrasting black and white color adjustment that will make you feel like you are watching an old samurai movie.
These are the novelties of Ghost of Tsushima that for now have been shared by the developers of Sucker Punch, but many others will see the light soon. Something we shouldn’t expect too much for, as the game will finally be released on July 17 . What do you win It is clear that this and The Last of Us 2 will be the best PS4 games that will close the generation. And what a closure.
