After a few subpar releases, the series' fifth entry marks a true return to form and is definitely worth playing if you enjoy combat-heavy games. As with previous Devil May Cry games, the story is a little lackluster in places, and Nero remains something of an acquired taste. Even so, its fantastic visuals and exciting combat are more than enough to tip the scale in the game's fa

Perhaps Sony wasn't thinking with its wallet in mind, but the release did set a precedent for the future. Games released towards the end of a console's lifecycle now had the potential to show up in enhanced form on that console's successor. Rockstar Games even seemed to take this lesson to heart by releasing Grand Theft Auto V roughly a year after its last-generation debut for both PS4 and Xbox

Fox also mentioned in a follow-up group Q&A that they have spent a lot of time attempting to find a way to do justice to the samurai and people who suffered during the real-life Mongol invasions of Japan in the late 13th century. However, Ghost of Tsushima , while based on a real invasion, is a fictionalized story - and the names of all the samurai in the game have had their names changed in order to honor those that died on the beaches during the Mongolian invas

Interestingly, though, Sony launched The Last of Us on PS3 earlier that same year. While the specifics of the PS4's launch date were unknown at the time, many were preparing to say goodbye to their previous console and welcome a new one into their homes. Then came The Last of Us to the tune of rave reviews and incredible sales. Clearly people couldn't wait for the PS4 and had to game right

Hollow Knight also has one of the most enjoyable creative directions, with a moving and powerful soundtrack that perfectly complements the hand-drawn art and animation. It's a beautiful but grim world that is a treat to explore when not dueling other insect bosses in fast-paced batt

We got to sit down with Sucker Punch Productions to see Ghost of Tsushima guide|Https://tsushimalegend.com/ 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.

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.

However, with backward compatibility said to be a guarantee, this might not be the case. For all intents and purposes, Sony could offer a patch for any PS4 game that makes it utilize unique PS5 features. Since Ghost of Tsushima may be launching mere weeks before the PS5, maybe a PS5 disc will simply be the PS4 version with any relevant patches applied. It would certainly make for a good excuse to release a "Game of the Year" edition and label it a PS5 exclus

Sucker Punch and Ghost of Tsushima creative director Nate Fox walked us (and a handful of other outlets) through the same mission shown during Sony's press conference, but much more was revealed during the gameplay presentation, such as the fact that the mission shown was actually a side mission that isn't part of the core story. Here's everything we learned from the d

While this premise and story are much different than anything Sucker Punch has worked on before, Nate Fox finds something romantic about feudal Japan and believes it to be a setting underused by western develop

It's hard not to give Tetris Effect our Best Puzzle Game award on principle alone. Stemming from the series that helped create the genre, this cheeky title is a beautiful psychedelic trip into the world of Tetris . Absolutely a game PS VR owners will not want to m

Ever since Bethesda acquired the Fallout name, the studio has given that universe the popularity it rightfully deserves. Everything that has been released in the Fallout universe has been a single-player experience; it’s an experience that tells a slew of interesting stories thanks to the studio. But what if Fallout was multiplayer? That is what Fallout 76 , the next entry in the popular series, plans to ans

To figure that out, we only need to look to the recent past. When the PS4 launched in 2013 , Sony made a pretty big push to get original titles on it. This was mixed in with a helping of some cross-generation releases (such as Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Call of Duty: Ghosts ) that gave users a clear reason to ditch their PS3's for Sony’s hot new box. Why spend $60 on a version of the game that looked and ran worse than its PS4 counterpThe True Power Of Heavenly Strike | Ghost of Tsushima Legends
