[Feel Like I'm On 42]

No real improvement graphically to get people excited for a start, despite being a sequel on a new generation of hardware and having access to the PS5 Pro.

Graphics are the first thing people notice and the #1 reason we buy into the new consoles so it has to be said. I think this is a bigger deal than many want to admit but graphics do matter and this is the least improved Sony exclusive we've seen yet and there have already been a bunch of let downs in this area for Sony (Ragnarok, gt7, Spiderman 2, LoU1 Remake, and every "remaster" Sony has dropped)

Definitely agree with the Feudal Japan setting though that's not so much Sucker Punch' fault. Then there's the fact that its obvious it's going to be another safe open world with a narrow gameplay focus, ie you do lots of combat/taking over enemy camps/riding around on your horse with little variety for gameplay opportunities outside of that.

Not sure how true this is or if it's just his assumption but this would be a huge gamechanger for me who expected to get a similar Ubisoft game open world feeling as in last game.

Just turn off the markers maybe? Witcher 3 was criticized for the same reason, to the point the devs made it the default setting later on.

I learned earlier that we have to wait until cross-gen development is done for. I head PS5 will then show its secret sauce!
