lol isn't Ghost Of Tsushima filled with inaccuracies though?
Shadows might end up having the more authentic world by default of actually being in a period where those ideas are even existing in, in Ghost, lots of shit they just added even though in 1274, some of those things didn't even exist.
Its like Sucker Punch wanted to make a game about a bunch of concepts that didn't exits yet, but also realllllly wanted to do one about the Mongol invasion lol

Compared to Assassin's Creed Shadows it's like going back in time and watching Samurai kill each other yourself.

I’m sure it’ll do well, but I bet it sells less than Odyssey. AC is a bigger brand than GOT, but the comparisons to it will be inevitable and it’ll just be seen as a lesser version of GOT.
Funny thing is, they would have had a better shot at outselling GOT by not using Japan in that time period. Something like middle ages Europe or Ancient Rome would have worked better.

Didn't they refute the fact that yasuke was made up by some random foreigner?

Lol samurai's are not alive when ghost of tsuima take place, that's alone put Assassin's creed shadows above ghost, honour weapons used in ghost of tsuima are not that time period

Didn't know the AC Shadows released already. How did Yasuke go? Did he ended up being an overlord taking away his lord mantle and saving all black people or something, like in the historical documents?
Not in Japan. Some people are forgeting we're talking about Japan here.

Who cares? It only matters how the Japanese perceive the game and its portrayal of their history and culture. If they think it is unflattering or inaccurate, they probably won't buy it.
Seeing how GoT was praised by locals, and how much criticism AC Shadows got, it doesn't look good for them.

So it was a game made just to leech off Tsushima, go it...
Is just to "prove" why Mr Black shouldn't be in AC Shadow. Some were bringing up the female Ninja too, while Tsushima has a female Samurai.
Seriously, what was the last accurate Samurai game?
There's a reason why historically accurate games rarely get made. Shit is arguably boring.
I have no idea who goes for either for historical accuracy. The people who bring it up are so annoyingly dishonest.

Well they based it off of Japanese culture with the vibes of Japanese early samurai epic films. Ubisoft based Assassins Creed off of some blue haired wokism and pseudo-history to hit some check boxes.
So good luck with that. Want to make the most profits? Fire anyone that thinks Marx was intelligent. That'll help you take out the trash.

Might ask you who is this female samurai on GoT? Because I can't remember.
Also I don't remember people having problem with the female kunoichi, she is actually more fitting for the role than the main character.

Based on what? lol
In Ghost, you have weapons that didn't exist, you have an entire code of Samurai that wasn't actually a thing in 1200s and the actual map itself wasn't a series of islands based on the team wanting an easier path to creating the landscape
Neither are historical lessons, but its likely when the dust settles, Shadows may have made the more authentic world as the time frame they are in, has samurai, bombs, bushido code etc
I say this as someone who owns Ghost Day 1 and will buy Shadows day 1. I brought up some of this same stuff years ago when Ghost first released.
Its hard to tell tbh. I think it might outsell Odyssey in Japan, but i have no clue what that did there lol
Shadows debuted at number 1 for pre-orders in Japan on Amazon JP
Assassin's Creed Shadows Now #1 Best-Selling PS5 Game on Amazon Japan
Assassin's Creed Shadows has become the best-selling game on Amazon in the Japanese region and reached the 6th spot globally.

So I'm not sure how it might do in comparison to their last AC, but I think it might end up the default best selling AC in Japan based on being about Japan.
This.
Its almost as if the knee jerk reaction is to leap to the "DERRR ITS UBISOFT DOE" , but its like....if someone actually really looks at Ghost, its filled with a lot of shit that doesn't exist during that time. I'm sure Sucker Punch loves the Edo Period, but their game is about a completely different period, with ideals, weapons, armor etc of another. I recall letting a lot of that go as the game doesn't really make any claims of being some history type thing, it was their first game in that IP and I'm more so willing to let a lot of that slide.
but for anyone to try to act as if cause they dislike Ubisoft, Ghost Of Tsushima is some top tier for historical accuracy is hilarious
? lol what? lol Just stop man. Please stop just taking shit from Twitter as if its fact.
What is being debated is what he did in Japan, not his existence, if anyone is questioning his existence at all, shit your issue may be with Japan itself and not Ubisoft or something, as they are the ones who even told us about this guy, Japan is the one telling us he is a Samurai and it is their media, books, anime, games, manga, documentaries etc that even say he is this.
So if anyone is questioning something like this, ask Japan about this please, if you are offended or something, ask JAPAN why they've stated this about this person, the fucking author of the book that even made a lot of this famous wasn't even fucking born when Japan was first talking about this and making books about this dude.
lol sir, all that means is they didn't make a big deal out of it, it doesn't really help that this was a rare thing during those times
They are likely talking about Lady Masako Adachi.

It may be, but Sucker Punch poured a lot of heart into their game and that's what Japanese audience noticed and appreciated about Ghost of Tsushima.
Ubisoft on the other hand seem like they're only chasing the dollars of a fanbase who've been requesting this setting for what feels like 15 years now, and that shows in the product they've crafted.

Masako.
If she is not actually a Samurai, then I apologize for my misunderstanding. I don't remember a lot of GOT.

She is not a samurai. She has excelent sword play, learned from her late husband and she refined to exerce her revenge. But she is not a samurai.

Yes, for example: The samurai swords in Ghost of Tsushima were created during the 13th century and improved in 14th century, while the Mongol invasions happened by the end of the 12th century, the Japanese swords were "upgraded" during the 13th century precisely because they proved to be hard to use against the Mongolian armours.
About Shadows being more authentic... I doubt it... Nobunaga did a lot of terrible stuff, no way Ubi will make Yasuke agree with all that on their game.
They will either make Nobunaga a good guy or make Yasuke fight him, which in both cases will be a huge middle finger to Japanese history.
