Listen to the conversation between the old woman and atsu.

I'm sure there are old clips that linger depending on each slices build, the first scene in the trailer is synced up perfectly. Not all scenes in these trailers are from the same build revision. Some newer, some older, etc..

I just hope y'all can separate the art from the artist with this one, and I think most of you will.

They can always play it in Japanese voiceovers if it's a bother.

My only point is that I hope the final product doesn't have syncing issues.

Or not play it at all. So far I haven't seen anything that makes this a "must play" game. The visuals are nice, I guess.

I loved Ghost of Tsushima. Was easily one of the best games of that type I had played, and it was absolutely gorgeous too.

...with that being said, why do I have like no hype for this? Maybe it kinda felt like the series was fine being a one and done, I dunno.

I have a ton of love for GoT, but I am honestly not excited for Yotei, or at least haven't found any reason to be excited for it. Nothing it adds to the game is new to the genre and has been done by other games. I'm sure it will be a perfectly polished game by release, but nothing is telling me to buy it day one.

 

[PlayedStation]

Very excited for this one.

Seems like they took all the wrong lessons from what players didn't like about GoT. A typical bloated sequel.

 

[Nocty]

I dont understand why people are mad, this looks fucking amazing and I will be buying it.

 

[PanzerAzel]

The story setup being the same as AC Shadows down to the "Onryo" and the masks is fucking hilarious. makes me gag.
Anyway the trailer really didn't wow me for some reason. I think I miss Jin. I have a feeling in my stomach that this will be another case of a Sony sequel that doesn't hit the same way the original did. Or maybe I just have the shits.

Edit: Man, I think I just found something even more hilarious. The blog post talks about a new "gameplay mechanic" that lets you explore Atsu's past. You can see at the end of the trailer that you, depending on the context of where you are in the open world I'm guessing, get instantly teleported to some flashback where you see her as a kid. That's....the exact same "mechanic" in AC Shadows where you could sit down at specific points in the open world and meditate as Naoe to get flashback missions from the time before her village got assaulted. What a coincidence huh?

Is it a coincidence that AC Shadows aped a meditation mechanic that had been a novel introduction in GoT years prior?

Seems like you're criticizing GOY for copying and elaborating on a mechanic it was responsible for innovating.

I guess I should've worded it better. I'm not talking about the meditation mechanic but what they were connected to: Flashback missions. The early meditations you do in Shadows are all tied to flashback missions that are effectively dotted around the map. I was referring to GoY having a similar mechanic where at the end of the day, you seemingly get to know Atsu better through fragmented missions instead of telling the entire story linearly.

 

[SJRB]

Pre-orders are up in many parts of Europe, if you want to grab that Collector's Edition then get your order in asap.

 

[TrebleShot]

Now then.
Game looks very cool if not a bit derivative it will be better than shadows in almost every way so excited to play this on the pro.

Will it be a premium price though is the interesting bit.

£80?

The title is so misleading. Sucker Punch isn't learning from AC Shadows mistakes. They are doing the same thing they did while developing Ghost of Tsushima. Which is touring the area they are depicting and meeting with historians. Ghost of Tsushima is so loved in Japan, that they named 2 of the Sucker Punch developers "Honorary Ambassadors of Tsushima", after the game released

AC Shadows was an obvious fail in many different aspects. Some of the criticism warranted, some just dumb. Most of all it just showed how lazy and incompetent Ubisoft was in attempting to depict 16th century Japan

I may have missed but who and why are they mad at this beautiful game? If it's anything like the first it will be phenomenal.

People were mad originally that it was a women but that's kind of calmed down.

It will ramp up again as we get closer to launch, unfortunately.

I think it's more about her being an activist on X than her gender.

Derivative of what?

 

[Topher]

Nah.....folks freaked out about the game featuring a female the moment she was revealed. The "activist" stuff came later when dipshits like grummz started digging for anything they could find.

I just remember Fake doing that. She's pretty extreme, supporting "defund the police" and similar woke crap. Hence why I've said I'll ignore her politics if the game is good.

Same here. Politics like hers goes with the territory with actors and Hollywood in general. Not interested in any of that. Just the game.

Peddling a collector's edition before they've shown any actual gameplay is always in poor taste.

Thing is crazy expensive, too.

Very rapid edits too, barely more than 1 second.

I can spoil the surprise for everyone right now. It's going to be very similar to the 1st game. If you want more of that, with dual wield swords, rifles, etc, that's what it seems like.

 

[corgiix3]

Maybe one day now we will see gameplay lol.

You can say the same thing about every sequel ever. It would be more sketchy if they did this kind of marketing for a new IP. They have a gameplay SOP stated for next month

A sequel that expands on the gameplay elements of the first game? You don't say!

Yes...i want more Ghost of Tsushima gameplay.

 

[Punished Miku]

Yes...i want more Ghost of Tsushima gameplay.

Sounds good. Hope you enjoy it. I will get it eventually on sale. I like the 1st game, but did feel a bit burned out by act 3. For me personally, I haven't had as much enjoyment in some of the direct sequels to games I enjoyed if the gameplay sticks, extremely, extremely close to the 1st. I liked Spider Man but couldn't finish MM. I liked God of War a lot, but couldn't finish Ragnarok. I liked Ghost but actually didn't finish 1. I will get Yotei on sale eventually.

 

[Bond007]

I dont do collector editions. But i actually did it for the original and im still glad i did.
The mask is incredible and very high quality- thats the centerpiece here. Im glad this CE for GoY includes a matching mask.

Already preordered. I havent purchased a CE since GoT.

 

[Roman Empire]

When is the gameplay showcase? The game is barely 3 months from release and they are holding their cards too close to the chest. We need to see how much they evolved or not the gameplay formula.

Deep dive was announced to be next month. A specific date hasn't been mentioned though.

 

[mckmas8808]

nah

yea

 

[Rush2112]

They were successful once, now they want money up front without even showing gameplay. They think they are entitled to your money. They also want to preach their ideology to you.

 

[Kurotri]

I wish they gave us a date for the July gameplay reveal instead of this boring CE trailer..

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

I mean... People are complaining about them showing pre orders before gameplay but no one's forcing you to secure a copy now?

I'm gonna wait until they show some gameplay before I decide on which edition I'm getting. Enjoyed the first so looking forward to this one as well!
